September 2015
The next general membership meeting will be on Tuesday, September 18, 2015, beginning promptly at 7:30pm at The Belvedere Condominiums.
There will be a presentation of an application for a zoning variance to permit an outdoor market on St. Paul Street.
Successful Tree Fundraiser at Poets at the Hotel Indigo!
Many thanks to everyone who came out for our fundraiser on August 27th at Poets at the Hotel Indigo! In our most successful fundraising event to date, we raised $1,005 to support tree planting work in Mt. Vernon this fall. Special thanks to Aiko Kodaira and Jason House for coordinating the fundraiser. Thanks also to the Hotel Indigo and to Andrew McCarthy and Matthew John's Salon for providing gift certificates for our raffle. A great time was had by all, and we raised significant funds to support tree planting work in the neighborhood.
Stay tuned for more information on our next fundraiser to be held on October 6th at the Owl Bar and for our fall 2015 tree planting and maintenance events scheduled for October 24th and November 14th. As always, email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on our tree planting work or to be added to the tree volunteer email list.
Proposed Outdoor Market
An appeal has been filed for a zoning variance to allow an outdoor market on the side of 24 East Madison Street (800 Saint Paul Street). The location is the space between the Strong Box and what will become The Room (the old Red Emma's) on Saint Paul Street. Jackson Gentile will be presenting his plans for this outdoor market at the General Membership Meeting. The request for the zoning variance reads as follows:
"The Purpose of this Appeal is to have the St. Paul Side of 24 E. Madison street zoned for use as an outdoor market. The zoning would apply to the open space of approximately 7 feet by 50 feet running along the St. Paul St. Side of the property. Sales would be conducted using multiple kiosks selling: Arts and Crafts, Some Antiques, Vegan Food, Prepared Foods, Farmers Market, if it is possible general retail sales."
New Workplace
Mount Vernon has just landed one of the newest and most hip workplaces in the city. The CO-OP (located at 12 West Madison Street) offers workspace to individuals and companies looking for high-end amenities located among some of the best cultural and dining spots Mt. Vernon has to offer. The building has both open desk space and private offices to choose from. Visit The CO-OP's listing on Kinglet to take a tour! https://www.kinglet.biz/

Julian was the first known woman to write in Middle English; her writings speak profoundly to our own times and this performance has inspired audiences around the country. Loving's performance was recently shot on location in Norwich, England and the DVD is in international distribution.
In the midst of great turmoil, Julian spoke words of comfort, hope, forgiveness and revelation. In the face of the AIDS epidemic, violent wars and terrorism, hunger and homelessness, and a creation scarred by our apathy and abuse—we need to hear that "all is well" and commit ourselves anew to treasuring God's precious creatures and creation. - Linda Loving

Conviction in Shooting Case
Quentin Bass, the accused shooter of Alex Ulrich and Larry Peterson, was convicted of two counts of murder and additional lesser charges after a four day trial. The jury took only two hours to deliberate on the charges in this high profile case, which was masterfully prosecuted by Assistant State's Attorney Tonya LaPolla. Fittingly, the conviction occurred on August 10, 2015, exactly three years to the day after the shooting.
Testimony came from the retired police detective originally in charge of the investigation, the lead detective's partner detective, forensic experts, a police informant who reported that Bass had told him about the shooting, and a witness who was with Larry and Alex during the shooting when Bass along with a female companion attempted to rob the three men at gunpoint as they talked on the steps of Larry's residence on East Chase Street. The surviving witness later positively identified Bass in a photo line-up after Bass was arrested (carrying a handgun) in the East Square of Mount Vernon Place a few weeks after the shooting.
Alex Ulrich was new to the city and to Mount Vernon, but had been welcomed by Larry as so many new residents had been over the past 20 years. Through Larry, Alex was quickly being introduced to many of us in Mount Vernon. Larry's arrival in Mount Vernon over 20 years ago and his purchase of a commercial building which he converted into a private residence marked the beginning of Mount Vernon's revival in which dozens of dilapidated commercial properties were renovated into private homes or premier businesses. Larry personally worked with dozens of potential and new homeowners to find properties for them to purchase and to advise them in the renovation process. Many of the homeowners introduced to Mount Vernon by Larry became community leaders who helped to make the neighborhood cleaner, safer, and more vibrant. Larry was also known to lobby for Mount Vernon with city council members and mayors.
Larry was a steadfast supporter of new businesses in Mount Vernon, personally bringing neighbors to Sammy's, Spirits of Mount Vernon, Iggies, Marie Louise Bistro, Minato, and many others to ensure that the establishments received positive buzz and the support of the community. He raved about Eddie's sandwiches, the pasta dishes at City Cafe and the fried polenta at Sotto Sopra. He sent friends to Odorite for cleaning supplies, to Center Stage for entertainment, and to Leon's for... more entertainment. Larry could be seen and heard at Grand Central and on the streets of Mount Vernon every day -- encouraging both residents and business owners to plant flower boxes and or to put out hanging baskets, to clean their windows and sidewalks, to water trees, and leave lights in the windows on at night. He was known for buying neighbors fresh Christmas trees and providing unsolicited decorating advice. Larry was the key organizer of the community when attendees were needed for critical hearings about height limits, liquor license infractions, historic preservation, planning, or zoning. He knew every property in the community and almost every property owner. For all of that, and for his passion for Baltimore and Mount Vernon, he was affectionately called the Mayor of Mount Vernon. Larry Peterson passed away almost two years after the robbery attempt and shooting, enduring many surgeries and complications during those years. He is survived by his husband, Tom Sabia, who remains a good friend to Larry's huge extended family.
Next steps: Although the trial is over, the sentencing hearing is scheduled for October 21, 2015 and there remains the possibility of an appeal. Friends and extended family members are encouraged to write impact statements by no later than September 30, 2015 and to attend the hearing. E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for hints on writing an effective impact statement and to submit your letters.

Ohk.. The answer to the question on the post title is at the end of this post.
Don't you hate it when your day job sucks the energy out of you..leaving you unproductive at your hobby?!? The past two weeks at my day job was HECTIC beyond reason.. Its starting to lull down a bit now and I can breathe easily again.. I have a week-long vacation coming up at the end of this month..and, I am looking forward to it.. I so wish I could take my sewing machine along.. My Hubster will probably commit me to a mental asylum if I do that! so, knitting it will be.. It has been a long time since I knitted anything. So, I think my fingers will thank me for the exercise. I am planning to finish this:
I started this ages ago and its mindless stockinette stitch.. works perfect for vacations! It has a funny story attached with it.. I asked my dear Hubster to guess what it is.. and he looks at it and says.. "..hmmm.. a skirt?!?!" I burst out laughing.. What do you think it is? Leave your guess in the comment..
So, what is new in my Etsy shop? I added 2 box bags and a small handbag to my shop. I have the fabric cut and interfaced for 3 more bags..but, if only God will give me an extra 6 hours everyday, I will make them into bags in a day! ;-) Here is what is new in my shop... I got this pink fabric in Bangalore and I really wish I was living there.. I know.. fabric and yarn shops sway my opinion on places I want to live! ;-)
and, here is the petite handbag modeled by yours truly!
ANSWER: Use a BIG person to model the bag!! The bag does look really small against me, doesn't it?!? rofl.. gotta find a petite model.. anyone up for it?? Let me know!

Pearl Jam's No Code album, their fourth, was released on August 27th, 1996.
The album came during a tumultuous time in the band. Grappling with fame, a battle with Ticketmaster, and their fans high expectations. The record would be a departure of the classic PJ sounds that their audience had grown to love. The AV Club has an excellent article that breaks down the era when it seemed like Pearl Jam might implode.
Trampled moss and sitars: Pearl Jam's tricky, transformational No Code https://t.co/YjPVmdmiyn pic.twitter.com/D1kIuZ6zAT— The A.V. Club (@TheAVClub) August 26, 2016
The first single off the record was "Who You Are."
As Bart Blasengame says in his article; "By Pearl Jam standards, the album bombed. Which was, of course, part of the plan. "Who You Are" was released as the first single and threw off all but the most rabid fans. Vedder admitted the choice was a "conscious decision" to keep the size of their audience at a more manageable level. He even joked that the title of the album referred to the emergency room order for "do not resuscitate."
The song did reach number one on the modern rock charts in Canada and the US.
The real barn burner off the record was the second single "Hail, Hail."

- Sorrow -
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Yes it was a OMG IMPRESIVE SONG :3
I want to use this song soooo badly. Here's what I'm saying:
I'm no master of making music. Obviously you can tell by my audio submissions ;)
But I'm decent, and I have a lot of good tracks that I've made that I haven't gotten around to uploading, since they are to be released on a non-profit free album of great music made by fans of Warriors, a book series, which I am hoping you'll accept to be a part of. It's just an album of music that can represent a character, place, event or other things about the books.
In the book series, a lot of characters die or go missing or whatever may happen, and there are times where there's a lot of emotional stuff. And I think this would be perfect for it. Unfortunatley, the minimum length of a song is 2:50. And I am aware that there is a longer version, but unfortunatley it is not long enough to meet guidlines Dx However, I could suggest that you add a bridge or snother instrument to a part or something and loop it, or just loop the entire song twice, or add a couple seconds of piano stuff to the longer version that's already out. Also, the song will just be called "Sorrow" without the astrics if you accept, as not to confuse people who have never veiwed the track before.
If you accept, please respond to this reveiw with your answer. Also, if you do accept, when your finished with the long version for the album, PM me, and I'll give you my email so you can attach it :3
I certianly hope you accept! This song might just make this album!
Also know, you are not alone. I am trying to get other newgrounds artists like PhilVille and TranceCrafter to join in.
Hoping you Accept,
-Buried :3
I'd like to hear more about this project before I accept your offer.
It sure sounds interesting but let's discuss this by private messaging.
Thanks for your positive review.

"Happy people aren't thankful,
thankful people are happy"
I read that quote on Facebook this morning and thought, "Wow! Isn't that the truth." At least it's the truth for me.
When life is hard I spend hours in prayer. I'm searching my Bible desperate for comfort, reassurance and with a need to draw myself closer to my Saviour. I beg God for mercy, guidance, protection, answers and while there is always a measure of gratitude to those prayers they are littered with my fears, desires and needs.
When things are going good. When those prayers are answered, sometimes even before the words are sent heavenward I am over joyed, I'm happy and I'm often times ungrateful. Don't get me wrong, I'm ALWAYS thankful for the things in life we've been given but I very often forget to say so. My time in prayer may be shorter, the craving for my Bible less and my relationship with Christ settled in the place of complacency.
This past year in particular has really taught me a lot of lessons when it comes to the "thankful department". I have taken some pretty heavy things to the feet of Jesus this year, things that some days weigh so heavily on my shoulders that the idea of getting up out of bed feels too hard. I've spent countless hours crying out to Him, searching for Him and waiting for answers to those prayers to come. This year, unbelievably even more than last, has felt incredibly hard. Without a doubt this year has been the hardest year I have had, ever and it isn't even over yet. Answers to all my pleas haven't been received yet and uncertainty feels overwhelming.
And yet, this year more than any other I am thankful. I am joyful. I am even happy.
God has shown Himself in so many huge, overwhelming ways this year and has taken me on such an incredible spiritual journey. In the moments that seem the darkest, in the times that have felt the hardest, facing things I'd have sworn to you would have crippled me I've found strength. It certainly hasn't been strength of my own, it's been deep, powerful and the kind of thing that can only come from above.
Looking back on the year not only can I see where God has been working but where He's been moving through so many of you. It's been in the Facebook messages, phone calls, emails, words of wisdom, some of humour, text messages and silent prayers that God has given me, given us the greatest things to be thankful for.
This Thanksgiving in addition to all the "usual" things we have to be thankful for, we are thankful for you. The friends who have been God's tools and our support.
If you're not sure if that quote is really true, take a look at our family. Thankful people really are happy.
Happy Thanksgiving Friends & Family!

The Most Ridiculous Person-Titled Suffixes in Comics
What do we mean by "Person-Titled Suffixes?" We're talking about characters whose names end in -man, -woman, -boy, -girl, etc. You know, like Radioactive Man. So, read along as we explore why naming Superheroes has really gone off the deep end. The deep end of stupidity.
- 10) Aqualad
Aqualad is just like Aquaman if Aquaman sucked sixty-times worse than he already does. The original Aqualad from the 60's had all the powers and attributes of a kid with purple eyes who lived underwater because. Seriously. Oh, and he was afraid of fish. Let that sink in... Sometimes he was a pal to Aquaman who spoke to fish and told them to hide him while he cried. The new Aqualad, an African American gentleman, can make water hard. And that's either ice or gross.
- 9) Shadow Lass
Shadow Lass has a cousin named Shadow Kid and I'm not even making that up. Her ability, as a stupid blue alien with pointy ears, is to project darkness. Ya wanna know what else projects darkness? Broken light bulbs and Goat.se desktop wallpaper. Projecting darkness isn't a power, it's not having enough intelligence to light a candle. Please, Shadow Lass, don't make something happen that happens every night, always. Please.
- 8) Calendar Man
Ending your name in 'Man' isn't necessarily stupid... that isn't to say it isn't exceptionally lazy, though. Because it is and everyone doing it should be ashamed of themselves. But when your claim to fame is basing your negligible powers on holidays and random days of the week, calling yourself Calendar Man is just borderline retarded. In fact, I've met mentally challenged people who think Calendar Man is stupider than underwear that isn't from K-Mart. He needs his ass kicked on every day that ends in a 'Y'.
- 7) Moon Boy
I have absolutely no problem handing Jack Kirby all the credit he deserves in creating large chunks of the Marvel Universe. But I'm pretty sure he was huffing pain fumes when he inked out Moon Boy. He's basically a feral version of Beast, which means nothing since Beast is a feral version of Beast. Okay... he's feral-er. Anyway, Moon Boy is patently useless and were he not to have the constant companionship of Devil Dinosaur, he'd have been eaten by Wolverine a long time ago.
- 6) Lightning Lad
Wikipedia says that Lightning Lad used to be called Lightning Boy. That's like changing a guy named Elmer to a guy named Earle: not a whole lot better. But the one saving grace is that 'Garth Ranzz' has the ability to project lightning, which one could easily discern from the name. But this also sucks, too, because literally every other Superhero can shoot lightning. It's like flight and super-strength: everyone wants them, because nobody wants to either converse with sea life or become incredibly pliable.
- 5) Doorman
So, this dude hangs out in front of hotel lobbies and helps people with their luggage? Sadly, no, because that would both make more sense and not suck incredibly. Also the fact that he was a member of the Great Lakes Avengers cinches the crappiness noose even tighter. Doorman is able to, inexplicably, turn himself into a passageway to the 'Darkforce Dimension' -which is apparently where Superheroes go to die and also makes absolutely no sense at all- and even climb into himself which is both extremely disturbing and even by comics standards, highly impossible. This guy is just a giant mess of nonsense and my whole head hurts trying to get it around him. Moving on...
- 4) Squirrel Girl
Good Lord, Squirrel Girl... I'm not even sure I want to do this because she is just so painfully lousy. And yes, she is actually a squirrel... who can actually control actual squirrels. What. The. Fuck. And get this, this here is how she made her dynamic debut in Marvel Comics: She met Iron Man and showed off her squirrel (literally, though figuratively likely would have gone over better), but Iron Man was unimpressed and was soon captured by Dr. Doom. So -because Dr. Doom is about as coherent a villain as the outcome of a Coke vs. Pepsi war- Squirrel Girl thwarted his kidnapping of Stark by summoning a shit-load of squirrels. That's right: this goofy dame is the land version of Aquaman which instantly makes her astronomically shitty.
- 3) Absorbency Boy
When you've been rejected by the Legion of Superheroes because 'your powers are too limited', you know you've taken the wrong path when naming yourself Absorbency Boy. First of all, absorbency is a stupid fucking word! If you use something diapers are as your name, it's time to pack it in even before you start. Not surprisingly, Absorbency Boy can absorb stuff, namely residual power leakage from other Superheroes. Which is both disgusting and patently worthless. The dude literally has to be near the heroes he saps off of, and then the shittiness only hangs out for twelve hours. He's the OTC decongestant of superheroes. Way to go.
- 2) Lagoon Boy
Lagoon Boy's history reads exactly like Disney's Little Mermaid: He's present at an Atlantean marriage where he befriends a genius whale named Blubber and a mermaid named Sheeva and they dance under the sea with a Creole crustacean... no wait, those last two things probably didn't happen. But what did still sucked. On top of this list of aggravating stupidity is Lagoon Boy's ability to control only Humpback Whales... only. Did some writer ask how they could render Aquaman's powers both suckier and quadruply worthless? They must have because the power to manipulate sea life is bad enough without limiting it to just psionically molesting a specific type of whale.
- 1) Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man
It's really just about bad enough that your super power consists of turning into anything. Seriously: Anything. Because there isn't something (outside of quantum physics I guess) that isn't either an animal, vegetable, or mineral. So this jackass's powers seem cool, right? Wrong. Because every time he absorbs whatever he's becoming, parts of him are still human. Specifically his arm, torso, and -and I'm not making this up- half of his head. If you're going to put scathingly moronic limitations on your Superhero creation, why would you make him able to turn into a rocky-carroty-platypus with a touch of Abstract Art? Who do you think you are, Heironymus Bosch? Only really, really stupid?


text: I've been registered here for a few months but haven't posted yet because I'm here to learn rather than talk. I figured it's time to say thank you to all of you who have unknowingly prepared me to begin loading my own ammo. I've wanted to do it since I began shooting as a teenager (which is longer ago than I care to admit) but never had a mentor and was always a bit intimidated by it.. I'd put it out of my mind for a while and it would always come back. I started reading everything at GTR because I shoot Glocks and figured this would be a good place to learn. Between reading current threads and searching for answers in older posts (and, yes, thoroughly reading Speer and Lyman's manuals), I feel like I've received a pretty good introductory education. I've spoken with Brian Enos and the guys in the reloading dept. at a LGS and they assure me that I've educated myself more than most beginners. You guys can take a lot of that credit because much of that education came from you. So I've got a Dillon RL 550B with dies and conversion to do both 9mm and .40 coming from Brian Enos along with most everything I need to get started. The few things I didn't order from him are small stuff like primer flip tray and bullet puller that I can get significantly cheaper elsewhere. There's one other piece of equipment that I want your opinion on but I'll ask that in its own thread. This thread is just to introduce myself and say thanks for being informative, friendlier than your usual gun crowd, and pretty darn funny at times!

The long, hot summer of 'scandal'
On Thursday, Ezra Klein made a smart case for why the so-called "scandals" were falling apart: "It's always possible that evidence could emerge that vaults one of these issues into true scandal territory," he wrote. "But the trend line so far is clear: The more information we get, the less these actually look like scandals."
But then there's this, from Gallup:
Most Americans agree that both of these situations are serious enough to warrant continuing investigation, with little difference in views of the two -- 74% for the IRS matter and 69% for Benghazi. ... Americans place similar importance on these two issues despite the administration's appearing to give more weight to the IRS situation.
How long Washington remains fixated on the IRS and Benghazi "scandals" depends on a number of factors: chief among them, Republican savvy. As VandeAllen reports, top GOP leaders are already "warning members to put a sock in it when it comes to silly calls for impeachment or over-the-top comparisons to Watergate." There's a very real possibility that the GOP could jump the shark.
But the media are also a key factor in this equation, and the media acts on ratings. These Gallup numbers tell us what executives at broadcast and cable news outlets already know: that "scandal" sells -- even if you have to put quotation marks around it.

The DuPage Unitarian Universalist Church exists as a beacon of liberal religious thought and practice. Amid the challenges and changes of a chaotic world, we aspire to proclaim and embody the possibilities of meaning in human life, of freedom in human thought, and of peace and justice in human community.
Sunday, January 20, 2013
The Seventh UU Principle—Respect for the Interdependent Web of All Existence of Which We are a Part
Human rights, equity, justice, tolerance, respect, and a peaceful coexistence among all peoples of the world, are important values to me. Nature is something I appreciate, value and respect also—a peaceful coexistence with nature is part of my belief system, too. The seventh UU principle—respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part—is an important tenet to me. Its presence as a stated value of Unitarian Universalism weighed deeply in the decision I made to embrace this church. I believe that we are a part of the earth—not apart from the earth, and try to live my life in coherence with this idea.
Planet Earth is a wondrous place with incredible physical formations, abundant natural resources, and biodiversity of which we should be in awe. Multiple interacting systems exist having achieved dynamic equilibria over billions of years. Yet a multitude of problems now trouble our world because humans have not learned to live in harmony with Earth's formations and resources, its biodiversity and those interacting systems. We have used natural resources as if all were in infinite supply, without regard to the needs of future generations, and taken nature's capital and ecosystem services for granted. We live as if we are apart from the earth, not a part of the earth.1 It is critical that we educate ourselves and other citizens about the problems human civilization has brought to this planet, yet equally important, we must utilize our knowledge of science, engineering, and technology, in tandem with our creativity, innovation, spirituality, knowledge of human psychology, and the law, to change our human places and practices. We need to think globally, yet act locally—in our homes, schools, and places of worship, in addition to where we earn our livelihoods, and carry on the other businesses of our human civilization. In short, we need to live as a part of the earth if we are to live sustainably. Indeed, we need to respect the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
In subsequent posts DUUC Green Sanctuary members will blog about environmental issues, local green events, and everyday actions we can take to live our seventh principle.

Take this job, please
This may not be the best time for some to find a job. The U.S. employment rate is ticking upward, and most companies are struggling with rising costs across the board.
For Tiffany Starks, however, getting that first gig was like shooting fish in a barrel. Her education, a bachelor's degree in information technology with a minor in business from George Mason University, made it so.
"It wasn't really hard for me to find a job because of the field I chose and where I live," said Starks, one of the recent hires at Reston-based High Performance Technologies Inc.
Unlike most recent grads, Starks never had to launch a mass e-mail campaignor post her resume on a Web site. Instead, she attended two job fairs at George Mason and got multiple offers.
Starks said she chose HPTi over larger, Montreal-based CGI Group Inc., with offices in Fairfax, because of greater responsibilities, an agreement to begin processing her security clearance and a higher $59,000 salary.
HPTi has expanded its work force nearly 20 percent over the last five years, said Jim Donnelly, the head of recruiting. Starks is one of 21 recent university recruits and a total of 165 hires since the beginning of 2007.
HPTi, which has more than 300 employees, is like many other tech companies in the Washington area that have escalated hiring to keep up with customer demand, both in the public and private sector.
Most are struggling to find good people, a challenge made more difficult by the increasing amount of security-sensitive technology work.
"A number of our positions are classified, so it's that much more difficult to find people," Donnelly said.
The glamour is gone
Despite the potential for a competitive salary in a fast-growing market, the pool of IT students fell off in recent years, Donnelly said. On college campuses, an IT career seems not nearly as glamorous as it was pre-2000, before the tech bubble burst and before companies stepped up efforts to hire from overseas.
GMU's Volgenau School of Information Technology and Engineering provided 997 graduates this year: 400 with bachelor's degrees, 461 with master's and 37 with doctorates. That's a 41 percent increase since 1998.
But interest in IT careers is flagging at The George Washington University, which graduated 592 students with IT degrees this year, down 27 percent from the 816 who entered the field in 2007.
American University, which emphasizes the liberal arts, has seen its relatively small computer science program — about 20 students per year — decline 75 percent for graduate students and 60 percent for undergraduate students since 2001.
However, Angela Wu, chair of the department of computer science, said enrollment is finally catching up with the recovered industry. So far this year, computer science enrollment has more than doubled, Wu said.
There are thousands of unfilled technology jobs in the Washington area. Dice.com, a research company that tracks IT jobs, reported that in June of this year there were 7,412 jobs available in the Washington area, down slightly from June of last year when 8,000 jobs stood unfilled.
"I'm hopeful this pipeline issue is starting to turn around," said Lloyd Griffiths, dean of George Mason's Volgenau School.
Many of George Mason's students received multiple job offers, according to students and university officials, and nearly all secured full-time employment. In fact, 70 percent of students in George Mason's technology-related programs are already employed as in-coming seniors, Griffiths said.
Like some other universities, George Mason has established formal channels with local employers, such as Fairfax-based SRA International Inc., Arlington-based Vangent Inc., Reston-based Northrop Grumman Mission Systems and Dulles-based Metron Aviation Inc., to employ students beyond the level of a typical internship.
The students get money and experience even before getting a diploma, and companies get more experienced workers when those students finish their degree.
The system also creates "a more flexible learning model," Griffiths said, because students are bringing the latest technology solutions from industry into the classroom.
Out-tossing off-shoring
Academics note that many students' perceptions of the IT industry have changed since the technology bubble burst at the beginning of the decade, and the industry has yet to fully repair its image.
A lot of students thought tech careers were no longer as promising or as intriguing, and many also sensed that too many companies were looking overseas to fill their openings.
Many companies did look overseas. And now many are back from that adventure.
"It turns out that [offshoring] wasn't the silver bullet that everyone thought it would be," said Diane Martin, interim associate dean of student affairs for the School of Engineering and Applied Science at George Washington University.
Instead, many companies have begun to do more "near-sourcing" — putting off-site data centers in domestic locations — because time, distance and language challenges proved more difficult to manage than expected, she said.
Some 94 percent of IT companies say they do not outsource job overseas, according to a national survey of 1,400 chief information officers by research company Robert Half Technology.
"We have a very hot job market here in the Washington area," Martin said, but George Washington University is "still struggling to get students in on the front end."
Fast pace, chronic lags
Even if enrollment improves, the continued high demand, the dynamic nature of the tech industry and security-clearance issues could perpetuate the skills gaps.
"When a new technology is embraced," explained Shiv Krishnan, president of Vienna-based Indus Corp., "everybody wants it," and that creates a shortage of employees with skills relevant to the new technology.
Krishnan said that at any given time he is trying to fill 25 to 35 positions, and there is always a good pool of applicants.
However, he doesn't have plans to hire recent graduates. He hires straight out of universities only for internal support positions, Krishnan said.
Finding security-cleared employees, he said, is the bigger challenge because of the lengthy clearance process.
Some large tech companies tend not to hire recent graduates.
For example, at McLean-based Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., which increased its IT work force by 15 percent over the last year, the bulk of recruits are people with eight to 10 years experience or a professional military background, said senior analyst and IT recruiting manager Peter Brooks.
"The demand for a skilled IT work force is extremely strong," Brooks said. "We've been hiring at a steady and accelerated clip for the last 12 to 18 months and don't see that slowing down."
Booz Allen is doing a number of things to deal with the tight market, including a greater emphasis on training, using skilled employees in one part of the country to deliver projects in other areas of the country where customer demand may be increasing, wooing talent from competitors and improving employee incentives. The company also relies heavily on employee referrals.
"If you really want to fix the work force issue, you have to find ways to increase the net supply," Brooks said.
For Booz Allen, that means trying to increase work force diversity and seeking pools of untapped talent, he said.
HPTi is courting is baby boomers retiring from the government, luring them with incentives such as more flexible hours.
Griffiths, the George Mason University dean, agrees that companies need to look at more diverse sources of employees.
"Women in technology is a real issue," he said. "We're missing over half of our opportunity."
But the biggest challenge for the industry is to persuade more young people to choose a career in IT and stick with it.
To encourage an interest in tech careers, George Mason's engineering school is teaming with its school of education beginning this fall on a program to show middle school teachers how they can better explain opportunities in science and engineering fields.
It seems clear that some of the word is getting out, though.
Tiffany Starks said she isn't sure where all the talk about an IT labor shortage comes from. "Everybody is doing technology and sciences now."

After witnessing Superman's capacity for humanity, in what I thought to be an amazing interpretation of Batman V Superman, a renewed Bruce Wayne embarks on a journey with his new friend and ally Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman to find super powered beings known as Meta Humans and bring them together to save Earth. The fate of human kind now rests in their hands.
This is a DC film I can NOT wait to see. The release date can't be here soon enough. And I can't believe they have a teaser trailer this early. In this new addition in the DCCU (DC Cinematic Universe) we will see new and returning cast members.
Returning will be obviously Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne aka Batman and Gal Gadot as Diana Prince. Jeremy Irons will be returning as Alfred the butler and Jessie Eisenburg as Lex Luthor… who I'm guessing will be in Arkham at this point! We will also see Amy Adams return to the screen as Lois Lane and floating along behind her WILL be the Man Of Steel himself, Clark Kent aka Superman played by Henry Cavill. But there is no information of how big his role in JLP1 (Justice League Part 1) will be yet… who knows, he might just wake up in his coffin right at the end. Oh if you haven't seen Batman V Superman yet, spoilers!
As for the new cast we see Ezra Miller dawning the lightning symbol of The Flash aka Barry Allen, Ray Fisher as Victor Stone aka Cyborg and Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry aka Aquaman who I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing the most… I mean seriously the man just makes everything cool as FRACK! Following him we will be seeing Amber Heard as Mera Queen of Atlantis… NEPYUNES BEARD! , as Commissioner Gordon we will see played by J. K. Simmons and also making his first appearance to the DCCU will be Willem Dafoe playing the role of Nuidis Vulko. Also rumored to appear will be Jered Leto as The Joker and Keirsey Clemons as Iris West
Justice League is due to hit cinemas November 17, 2017. THIS IS GOING TO BE EPIC PEOPLE!

text: If you ask for something and you don't get what you specifically asked for, it doesn't necessarily mean Allaah didn't accept your du'a. It's possible that Allaah replaces iswith something far better than what you made du'a for Allaah does for us or gives us whatever is good for us...what we think we need may not be good for us while what we don't like is good for us...and it's also possible Allaah will grant you what you asked for..later and not now. So yes I guess you could say that..Allaah knows us better than ourselves, so Allaah knows better what we need...hope that makes sense :/

Skip to comments.Michelle Obama's Song: You load sixteen bags what do you get another vacation....
Posted on 02/21/2012 11:16:47 AM PST by vrwc54
To the tune of 16 Tons:
You load sixteen bags what do you get
Another vacation and we're deeper in debt
I go to exotic places every three weeks
I owe my soul to Soros and the sheiks
I was born one morning with a chip on my shoulder
It only got worse as I got older
They loaded sixteen bags of Louis Vuitton
And the one percent said a job well done
You load sixteen bags what do you get
Sixteen vacations and the country in debt
Shopping at Target fools the peons
I owe my soul to Barneys and Bijans
Went to school on affirmative action
Married the president now I'm the attraction
Air Force Two is at my beckon call
16 exotic destinations in all
Does the media report? Not at all.
I owe my soul to Media Matters
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Well, I suppose that depends on what you load them with. For example, if you load 16 large bags with cottage cheese, then set them in a row, side by side, you'd get 8 replicas of Moochelles backside.
I doubt Tennessee Ernie Ford would approve of her lavish lifestyle.
where is somebody going to call out michelle and obama? they spend thousands of dollars on their own vacation while obama's brother lives in the shanty town. is obama was christian he know he is his brother's keeper
Mooch and Bammy need to be called out, alright. I could care less about his bro-in-the-hut, tho...I want them called out for this excessive, lavish spending while asking us to eat our peas. Hard working Americans are foregoing vacations while Mooch Antoinette goes hog wild with our tax $$. I think they do it on purpose, tho.
Wow. Did we have fun?
Another song for the chorus.
Michelle Odamya makes Emelda Marcos look like a philanthropist with a shoe museum.
Question: Who is paying for the vacations?
don't know ...
The Obamas sent the Aspen Times photographer who took pics of her skiing after me and MOTUS, Michelle's Mirror, so I had to remove my video on the Aspen trip and MOTUS removed the photos of her skiing.

I told you I had a couple of stories from my vacation. Here is one of them.
Eureka Springs, Arkansas is a thoroughly Christian town. They've got the Passion Play, a giant Jesus, churches everywhere, and lots of Christian establishments.
And by 'gay' I mean homosexual, not the derogatory use of the word. Half the town seems to be, support, or affiliate themselves with gays. We walked down the main street and every other business was waving a rainbow flag in front of it. Bookstore: gay. Art gallery: gay. Funnel cakes: gay. Year-round Christmas store: gay (probably.)
It wasn't like I've never been in a gay part of town. I used to live near the 'alternative' part of Kansas City. It's not totally gay, but it's pretty gay. Still, this was different and I was a little nervous.
Here's why: I don't know what the rainbow flag means, or why it's necessary or profitable. Does that mean that a business 'supports' gays? What support is required in a town that's already half gay? Does it mean that the business is gay-owned, or gay themed or all the customers are gay? Are Christians, supposed to think twice about going into the gay bookstore? Would all the books be gay, or would there be some hetero books too? What about that gay coffeeshop? Coffee can't be gay in the way a book can be gay. Maybe no one is gay; they just want to try to get gays to patronize their store.
Is there even a standard for the meaning of a rainbow flag? Could I fly a rainbow flag in front of my business though I'm not gay and I'm a Christian? Or would that be offensive?
Once, a group of friends and myself (all of us 'breeders') went to a restaurant in a 'cultural' part of town. We noticed the Maitre'd was gay, but didn't think anything of it. About halfway through the meal, we noticed him greeting incoming patrons with a kiss on the cheek. Then we noticed we were the only…mixed group in the place. We had unknowingly gone to a secretly gay restaurant. No advertising, that's just the power of word of mouth. The food was great and the service impeccable too, though none of us got a kiss from the wait staff.
So my wife and I wandered around and then stopped at a coffee house that didn't appear to be gay. While standing in line, I noticed the four other customers: three men, without rings (at least on their fingers), and a woman who used to be a man. I looked back outside like a dork. Did I miss the sticker on the door? Was I supposed to be here? We gladly ordered our drinks anyway and sat down and for the next half hour, the coffeeshop was only two-thirds gay. Who knew that two whitebread straight suburban Christians could actually make a coffeeshop more diverse?
Was I supposed to feel uneasy, as a Christian, giving my money to a 'gay' business? I get the feeling some people would look at a gay coffeeshop and act like it might as well be a coffee/extremely-deviant-pornography shop. Is it any worse than going to any other business where you don't know if the owner is gay or a wife beater or a crack head?
In the middle of our drinks, I noticed my wife had that morning inadvertently put on a necklace of little rainbow colored beads! Agh! We supported gays without even knowing it!
I've also found myself unsuspectingly in a gay bar. It actually took us a couple of visits on kareoke nights to realize it was a gay hangout. My roommate got some digits…from a very successful looking man in a suit. He also found himself unwittingly on a gay date. He thought they were just being new friends over dinner, until the end. He was always a heartbreaker.
It's kind of funny that all kinds of people are suspicious of Christians, and they set up these little bastions of 'acceptance' and 'inclusiveness' and 'free thinking' that can sometimes end up being intimidating to the people they're suspicious of. Is that exactly the point? Or is that just unintentional? Because say what you will about all your ideals about inclusiveness, people like to be around others who are like them, and many people in the 'alternative' side of society are suspicious of Christians, just as Christians are likewise. I noticed 'Diversity Week' in Eureka Springs doesn't exactly celebrate the Christian heritage of the town. It celebrates gays.
Here's the question that puts all this into perspective: Would a gay guy hesitate for any reason to enter a shop with a Jesus fish on the door? Would it be a wise business decision for an accountant to put a giant Star of David outside his door? Probably a double edged sword.
Who makes their group look worse to outsiders: annoying evangelicals passing out tracts door to door, or annoying gays parading down main street in leather and body paint?
I feel like I have to make a disclaimer that I am in fact asking honest questions, not being rude, because that's the state of things today. Every Christian is supposedly a 'homophobe' who needs 'diversity training.' Actually, I don't think I should have to make a disclaimer because it's my blog and I can say what I want. But while I welcome even comments that call me out, I don't want a bunch of comments accusing me of being a bigot. That's a popular word these days. So consider this your disclaimer.
What's your perspective on the relationship Christians should have with non-Christian gays? I didn't really make any points, but I think all my questions show that there's a lot to be worked out, so feel free to fire away on any or all of them.

Local Media: Vision 2020
The year 2020 is no longer the realm of science fiction…it's right around the corner. What will the media landscape look like five years hence? And how will marketers target and reach consumers where they live and spend? Will lines between traditional and digital media continue to blur? Will there be a united form of audience measurement? Will the process of media buying and selling be automated? A panel of experts will look into their crystal balls and provide 20/20 vision of local media in 2020.
I'm really excited to be a part of Advertising Week's panel on local media this year, and am even more excited for the future of local in the year 2020. I'm a little less excited that, despite promises from futurists, I still don't have a jet pack.
I'll be joined by some great speakers, like NCC Media's Senior Vice President of Marketing and business Andrew Capone, Fred Bucher from Time Warner Cable, Steven Lanzano of the Television Bureau of Advertising and Steve Lindsley of Comcast Spotlight.
The year 2020 will see the rise of the millennial: a generation that is more diverse than any generation before and enamored by technology. Even still, they spend more on music than the generation before them, and 65 million of them tune into radio each week. It'll also see the solidification of up-and-comers in the marketing world like mobile advertising. And if we're lucky, NFC technology will add an entirely need dimension to local advertising.
Advertising week runs from September 29 to October 3rd this year. It draws in over 90,000 participants and hosts over 250 events featuring leaders in thought, creatives and other trailblazers.
The talk will be given at The Adara Stage at Hard Rock, September 30 at 3:00 PM. Be sure to register for the panel here.

Donald Trump is already planning out how he will reshape this country just like he did the electoral map according to all the liberal media.
This started with his 100 day plan for the beginning of his presidency and now there are rumors that he is about to bring some heavy weights into his cabinet to help him Make America Great Again.
According to Western Journalism:
A Congressional Republican who has long called for justice for the victims of the 2012 Benghazi attack and criticized the decision not the prosecute Hillary Clinton for her email scandal is returning to Washington to take up unfinished business
Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., easily won re-election Tuesday with 67 percent of the vote, defeating three other candidates to win a fourth term in Congress.
In light of President-elect Donald Trump's victory Tuesday, there is also talk that Gowdy will return to Washington in a different role.
The Boston Herald, among other publications, suggested the former prosecutor might be a choice for Trump's attorney general.
Gowdy on Sunday had fired off a statement objecting to FBI Director James Comey's announcement that the FBI would stand by its July decision not to charge Clinton for using a private email server to send and receive classified information while she was secretary of state.
This is how Trump will bring Hillary Clinton to justice!

A new decree that went into effect today allows the French government to block websites accused of promoting terrorism and publishing child pornography, without seeking a court order. Under the new rules, published last week by France's Ministry of the Interior, internet service providers (ISPs) must take down offending websites within 24 hours of receiving a government order. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve says the decree is critical to combatting terrorism, but civil rights groups say it gives the government dangerously broad powers to suppress free speech.
The regulations have been under consideration since 2011, but gained new momentum following last month's terrorist attacks at the Paris office of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. The French government has launched a massive anti-terror campaign in the wake of the attacks, countering radical online propaganda with its own anti-jihad website and arresting dozens of suspected terrorism supporters. Last week, French President François Hollande announced plans to hold major internet companies accountable for sites hosting extremist content, saying the new law would make companies like Facebook and Google "accomplices" to terrorism.
The decree implements two provisions from two laws — an anti-child pornography law passed in 2011 and an anti-terror law passed late last year. A department of the French national police will be responsible for identifying the sites to be blocked, with the suspected terror-related sites subject to review by an anti-terrorism branch. An administrator from the CNIL, France's independent data protection organization, will be charged with overseeing the process. Once a site is blocked, its page will be replaced with an explanation of why the government took it down. In the case of child pornography pages, the text will also include a recommendation to seek medical help.
Supporters of the measure say it's critical to preventing future attacks, pointing to the growing number of young French nationals who have joined jihadist movements in Iraq and Syria, as well as aggressive online propaganda campaigns from terrorist groups like ISIS.

Hey travelers.
I would like to share very briefly, my trip to Colombia.
Colombia Montage Film on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1Be9vtLN_g) , Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/30248589), and My Website (www.TomRamble.com)
I arrived in Colombia in November last year and have yet to leave. (the tourism advert slogan is very accurate, ´the only risk is wanting to stay´. I flew in from New Zealand, via LA, and my first inkling of understanding of the Colombian people happened right as the plane touched down. The nervious passengers (mostly Colombians) suddenly erupted into celebration, shouting the likes of ´viva Colombia´!!! and opening bottles of rum. A young Costeña mother from Barranquilla invited me to visit them in there home and the general atmosphere was ecstatic!
Colombians are very patriotic and love there country. They see way past the dirty foreign image outsiders have given Colombia. They are rated the fifth happiest country in the world, according to the HPI (happy planet index) (although they are tenth to last on the global peace index).
I have read (I believe on Wikipedia, so may not be accurate) that Bogota DC has a lower crime rate than Washington DC, and I certainly have not felt in any danger during my entire stay thus far.
Bogota is an incredible diverse city (as lonely planet say ¨it is the city with one thousand barrios´. It is almost as diverse as the Colombian climate and landscape.
Instead of writing everything down I´d like to show you a short Montage film I photographed of the Colombian Coast. Because a picture is certainly a thousand words. This montage film is meant to show the beauty of Colombia and not the negative aspects, and is perhaps not necessarily the accurate reality of all Colombia, but its the way I see it. Vibrant, Alive, Colourful and Diverse.
Colombia Montage Film on YouTube , Vimeo , and My Website (about documentary making)
It was shot entirely on the canon 60D (with old Zeiss lenses) along the Caribbean Coast of Colombia (including the desert in Cabo de la Vela, the jungle in Tayrona National Park, and the Carnival in Barranquilla). Most of the footage is shot handheld, or using a homemade rig.
Thanks to the Quintero family for showing me your amazing country!
The music is by Ravi – Amazon Journey, and Totó la Momposina – Carnaval (Toto being a Colombian icon)
Please let me know what you think, and help share the beauty of Colombia by passing the link on.
On another note, next year I will be producing a documentary series about South America (as well as Central and North and Spain), you can view the Original thread Here
ps, I will write up a full article to post on here soon!
pss, (If anyone needs any advice on Bogota, Medillin, Cabo de la Vela, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Tayrona, Taganga, Villa de leyva, Villavicencio, or the islands, don´t hesitate to ask!)

Colombia Travel Report and a Montage Film
Hey travelers.
Report Abuse
Nice montage brings back fond memories.
did a 5K roadtrip all over Colombia
and down into Ecuador/Galapagos
last fall had not been there in a while
Defintely getting a lot safer still many dodgy areas.
Always wise to be careful... FARC is still around
Actually ran into some between Popayan and Tulcan
downtown Bogota and many other central cities like CTG Cali
are quite dodgy review travel.state.gov take precautions
Still a wonderful place to travel for experienced travelers.
www.paisatours.com a little help always wise for newbies
insuremytrip.com always wise
Good luck and happy travels!

We're planning a trip for late February. I haven't booked the flights yet, but I think we'll fly into Cartagena and out of Bogota. So far I've just been thinking of those 2 places, plus Villa de Leyva, but I'm wondering if there's somewhere else that we can visit as well. If we wanted a beach experience for a few days, what would you recommend? How's Santa Marta?
Report Abuse
Well, I love the coast. For some of the most amazing beaches you cannot miss Tayrona National Park. It's as if a committee of international experts have combined to create a beach for a Disney waterpark. Two rounded half-moon bays split by a narrow sandspit ending in a rocky promontory; clear, hot ocean punctured by perfectly rounded boulders on one side and fishing boats on the other; shady palms leading to dense jungle running up to cool mountains.
You can catch a boat from Santa Marta. There is some incredible jungle there also, and it is only about 45 min by boat. Taganga and Santa Marta are really nice places, I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere in Taganga, and it even has a quite friendly and lively night life as well. For the more adventurous you can travel north to Cabo de la Vela, it is much less touristy than anywhere I have ever been. You will need to either hire a car or travel with the locals. But again it is a beautiful place.
I love it here,

Windows 7 Ultimate x86
before you can extend, you need to move the partitions next to the one you want to extend like I is next to C
now you need to delete partition I in order to create the empty space, partition C can be extended into.
If there is no free room next to a partition the extend-option stays gray
Make sense?
OK if you still want to merge I and J, move J next to I, delete I and then extend J into the newly created empty space

if u don,t mind, can u tell me how to move J next to I...
plz explain in detail.

In the earlier Disk Mgmt screenshot I and J were marked Primary.
Now in Easeus they are marked Logical.
Do you know how this happened?
If you didn't convert them, then immediately burn to CD free Partition Wizard bootable CD so we can see a correct drive map from a camera snap. http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html
Easeus is not recommended for Win as it can fail during Resizing operations, while PW will not. We have used PW CD here for hundreds of these operations without fail.
|My System Specs
|12 Jan 2011
sorry man, i didn't mention about converting them to logical.
i converted them using EASEUS partition master.
i'm out of patience, so i converted and tried to merge with other logical drives but some wonder happened, after extending filmyzone( H ) with :J: it asked to format that drive(which is about 100gb, no back up) i have no idea what to do , clicked cancel for a couple of times and it came back normal .
anyway i have decided not to do anything stupid like that without considering expert.
i'm hoping that you will give a better idea.
|My System Specs
|12 Jan 2011
I posted my advice earlier in #3. You haven't responded to it.
If you agree, then convert I and J back to Primary and follow the steps I gave.
If not, post back your response.
|My System Specs
|12 Jan 2011
there are many replies so i couldnt decide what to choose.
well i dont want to add it to C.
i want those 2 partitions to 1, if its not possible is there any way to add both partitions to lo logical drive FILMYZONE(H) without formatting it.

What amount of free space do you have on C now? It's possible performance is already affected by the tiny partition if the page file is cramped.
I would delete I, then extend C into the space as first suggested. You'll have to delete it twice to get the Logical free space to change to Unallocated.
If you want to merge the two empty partitions, buy the paid version of free Partition Wizard bootable CD. Or using free PW CD delete I and J then Resize the Extended Logical into the Free Space to the left and right. .

So many of us live stuck. Stuck trying to seem perfect. Stuck in sadness. Stuck feeling numb. Stuck pursuing more stuff to make us happy. Stuck in something we can't even name. These stuck places often go unattended inside of us and they are shaping our lives more than we would like to think. We've been trying to fix this feeling with everything but ...
God. He had a plan for these spaces inside of us, the places we feel broken, but we have to go to Him. Stuck is a journey to take an honest look at the fight going on inside, leading us to the God who had a plan to restore it, to restore us. Because as we realize that our stuck places are the very places that make us ache for God, we find Him waiting there for us with hope and freedom.
