Tesco Value Platters

Advantages: Cheap and useful, large and practical
Disadvantages: None for us
Tesco value Platters
Between my husband and I we have five children who are all grown up now but it does mean that family parties and celebrations do tend to be quite large even if we only invite our own children and partners. Whenever we cater for events we always have a huge amount of washing up and although I do have plenty of crockery I always find I do not have enough.
These foil platters are only £2.50 for five platters which, for those quick at maths, works out at 50p each. I think that is a fine bargain for what these are. They are a decent size and in fact they are the same size as my meat carving plates so they hold a decent amount of food.
They are made of a silver foil which is quite strong. We have piled sandwiches and other hot foods on these and never had one collapse on us. The other good thing about the being foil is that you can fill them with foods that you want to serve hot and them pop them in the oven to keep them warm prior to serving.
You can tart them up with doilies for cakes and put coloured napkins under them for sandwiches and hot foods. The napkins will absorb any excess grease if you have foods like samosas and sausage rolls on them too.
The fact that they are foil means that they go with any table setting if you have a theme they can easily be adapted by adding coloured napkins or something similar. They are not unattractive and have some engravings on them so they look quite nice really and certainly not cheap and 'value' brand.
They are not as strong as china plates and will bend if you are not sensible but be careful and sensible and you will have no problems with food spilling. We have never had an issue with food spilling because of the platters collapsing.
Although these are sold as disposable and obviously you can recycle then through you metal recycling. We have found that you can wash them and use them over and over again. I would not suggest a dishwasher but normal dish washing by hand works well and so at the price these are you can have emergency food serving dishes for more than one occasion.
These are far superior to paper plates, even good quality ones as you can put garnishes of salad and even an entire salad on these and there will be no problem with the wetness soaking in to the platter. You can in fact pretty much use them as you might a china plate so long as you are carful carrying the full platter.
They are metal so obviously do NOT put them in the microwave unless you want fireworks and a wrecked microwave.
Yes for the price these are great. I would struggle to find any other product that is such good value. They are large, recyclable and strong and look much more expensive than they actually are.
Thanks for reading. This review may be posted on other sites under my same username.

Title | The attraction, retention/transition, and nurturing process of sport development: Some Australian evidence |
Author | Sotiriadou, Popi; Shilbury, David; Quick, Shayne |
Journal Name | Journal of sport management |
Year Published | 2008 |
Place of publication | United States |
Publisher | Human Kinetics |
Abstract | The purpose of this study was to explore and map the sport development processes in Australia. A grounded theory approach identified sport development processes by examining 74 annual reports from 35 national sporting organizations (NSOs) over a period of 4 years, before and after the Sydney Olympic Games. The 3 frameworks presented in this article representing the attraction, retention/ transition, and nurturing process illustrate the generic processes and strategies described by NSOs. The results show that each sport development process requires human and financial input from various stakeholders. These stakeholders initiate or implement sport development strategies for each process and each process has different sport development outputs. These results contribute to the extant literature of sport development by demonstrating that sport development is more complex and encompassing than previously described. It is proposed that the generic frameworks derived from this study be subject to more specific testing using other sport systems, as context and case studies could lead to tailoring the frameworks to represent specific sport development processes and systems. |

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma was a child prodigy who performed for JFK when he was seven -- and has since won 15 Grammy Awards, was named Peace Ambassador by the UN and has even appeared on an episode of "The Simpsons..."
...and our photog actually had the nerve to ask if he got his Inauguration gig by winning "a drawing."
It's pretty hilarious -- and Yo-Yo Ma is the nicest guy ever.
Thank goodness Mr. Ma is a gentleman with a lot more class than your "journalists" usually show. Where do you find these barely educated idiots? How can you send them out without any sort of cultural literacy? Few of them ever evidence any knowledge of subtlties, awareness of simple and well-known symbols or sayings. Feh.
Perhaps your photographers should take a few classes in current events. Heck, I'll be happy if they go get their G.E.D.'s, as some of the most lame and idiotic questions come out of their mouths.
Why not hire the Hollywood homeless? They know more about who's who than your own people do.
Your photographer is an idiot. He obviously doesn't usually hound people of world class talent and has no idea what he is talking about. Yo Yo Ma has played for 7 Presidents and doesn't have to "win the gig" or "have any pull" to be invited to play. Your staff is beyond embarrassing.
I have worked with Yo Yo Ma and he is a great artist, a philanthropist, HUMBLE and much more of a human being than your entire staff combined could ever dream of being.
FYI, sure your photogs are idiots but your producers are almost as stupid. Putting them on the air everyday is certainly going to result in an ass kicking.
Instead of focusing on the ignorance of the videographer, how about responding with praise to the grace and humility of Yo-Yo-Ma. No diva that one. He was courteous and kind, a true gentleman. I have only watched him perfom on television but even in that genre, he is stunning; he is so talented that he can make classical music electrifying. If only more celebrities acted with such grace.
I will say also that although the videographer may not fully understand the extent of Yo-Yo-Ma's "celebrity," the videographer does speak in a respectful manner and asks good questions.
To say that your photographers inexcusable comments were "hilarious", show's TMZ's total lack of any kind wotth. Yo Yo Ma is an incredibly talented human being. Your photographers can hold a camera and humiliate people. Truly disgusting.
Yo-Yo Ma is a classy, humble guy - I feel a little bad for the photog because he's going to get ribbed for his ingorance forever on this one! Yo-Yo Ma also appeared in The West Wing, by the way.
What a class act Yo-Yo Ma is! The cello is my favorite musical instrument and I love to hear him play, it is very relaxing.
Your photographer should have done some research before interviewing this great musician.
um........ can't say i would have known who the hell he is either. YO YO MA???? if my life depended on it I would have said it was a female spanish rapper.
It took FOURTEEN posts for a tmz'er to "damage control" this comment section.
Was today a half day?

The New York Stock Market in the 1920s and 1930s: Did Stock Prices Move Together Too Much?
In this paper, we re-examine the stock market of the 1920s and 1930s for evidence of a bubble, a 'fad' or 'herding' behavior by studying individual stock returns. One story often advanced for the boom of 1928 and 1929 is that it was driven by the entry into the market of largely uninformed investors, who followed the fortunes of and invested in 'favorite' stocks. The recent theoretical literature on how 'noise traders' perturb financial markets is consistent with this description. The result of this behavior would be a tendency for the favorite stocks' prices to move together more than would be predicted by their shared fundamentals. Our results suggest that there was excess comovement in returns even before the boom began, but comovement increased significantly during the boom and was a signal characteristic of the tumultuous market of the early 1930s. These results are thus consistent with the possibility that a fad or crowd psychology played a role in the rise of the market, its crash and subsequent volatility.Download Info

The American Prospect
Opinion | January 21, 2013
By: Shadi Hamid
As President Obama's second term gets underway, The American Prospect asked experts and activists look back and weigh in on who Obama should have chosen to serve, if partisan politics (and reality) were no object. Please find below Shadi Hamid's contribution, which discusses Obama's optimal choice for Secretary of State.
Secretary of State John Kerry would be a safe bet and a solid Secretary of State. But I'm not sure if a safe, solid Secretary of State—or a solid Secretary of Defense—is precisely what America needs now. That Kerry turned against the Iraq war and revised his views on the use of force is a credit to him. President Obama has clearly decided that he wishes to pursue a prudent, status quo-oriented foreign policy. But as the Middle East threatens to implode and with America's moral leadership increasingly in doubt, a better choice would be someone at least slightly outside the Washington consensus—someone who saw foreign policy as a way to fashion new opportunities rather than manage the same set of threats. Though the Obama administration may not agree, the Arab Spring is on par with the transformative world events of 1848, 1945, and 1989. In an ideal world, Obama would appoint someone who gets the Arab revolutions and understands the opportunities they provide for bold, creative U.S. policymaking. To be sure, there are few candidates of stature who fit that bill. Two exceptions are Samantha Power and Michael McFaul. Power came from a human rights background and, as Director for Multilateral Affairs on Obama's National Security Council, has been a key administration voice for a more ideals-based foreign policy (especially during the debate over intervention in Libya). McFaul was also a senior NSC director and is now U.S. Ambassador to Russia (full disclosure: I briefly worked with McFaul when I was a fellow at the center he directed at Stanford University). Before joining the administration, he established himself as one of the leading American scholars not only on Russian politics but also on democratic transitions, an issue that is front and center not only in the Arab world, but also in Africa, Latin America, and parts of Eastern Europe. There is also something to be said for having an academic in the position, which can mean (but certainly doesn't always) that the person in question has a broader, longer-term view of economic and political dynamics and the role they play in international politics.

Hard for me to imagine the Iranians really think Obama would use force. I oppose any mil action, but this does shape how #Iran proceeds.
Fair or unfair, perception among friends & enemies alike is that Obama's heart isn't really in this. If he can find it, he wants a way out.
Yes, as @Doranimated notes in @mosaicmag, Putin and Khamenei understood well that Obama "was looking for a path of retreat" on Syria. #pt

.@steven_metz But @SamyElgo makes important pt that opponents of Islamism are very comfortable instrumentalizing Islam for pol purposes
.@steven_metz "Islamist" is very useful, as it describes a distinctive sociopolitical movement. And, most Islamists self-describe as such
@steven_metz Suppose Sissi could be called an "Islamist" if you used a very broad definition but that's not normally how it's used @SamyElgo
@MaxAbrahms thanks, likewise :) but do u think it was predetermined or can envision different outcome if certain variables were different?

- Mercedes-Benz's golf cart to rule them all (pictures)
The back 9
Rivaling the design of most cars, the exterior of the Mercedes-Benz Vision Cart would come standard with modern amenities such as LED taillights. The concept includes turn signals and LED headlights, which come with a floodlight function so golfers can keep swinging in the dark. A retractable lightning rod keeps any random zappings out of play.
Storage is key with the Mercedes-Benz concept cart. The trunk can hold two full golf bags, there are two dashboard compartments, and the center console holds balls, score cards, and sunglasses.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The Syracuse Roman Catholic Diocese celebrated the contributions of Pope Benedict the XVI with a special mass, timed to coincide with his departure from the Vatican.
Bishop Robert Cunningham told the faithful that Benedict has left a rich legacy which enriched the church and its people.
"When he was elected Pope and began his ministry, people wondered what type of Pope he would be. Through his teaching and preaching, he led us ever closer to God," said Bishop Cunningham.
The Bishop says Catholics should now pray for the College of Cardinals as they prepare to begin a conclave to select a successor to Benedict.

Medics blamed for Morosini death during matchPESCARA, Italy (AP) — An inquest into the death of Piermario Morosini during a Serie B match last year has blamed four medics for their inadequate treatment of the soccer player. Morosini collapsed and died during Livorno's match at Pescara on April 14 because of a heart attack. Forensic tests later revealed he had a genetic heart disease. The 25-year-old Morosini was on loan from Serie A team Udinese. The three judges say the absence of a defibrillator had "a causal role in the death of Morosini." They criticize the doctors of both clubs, the paramedic and the first doctor to attend to Morosini upon his arrival at the hospital. Most of the criticism has been directed at paramedic Vito Molfese, whom the judges say should have assumed the role of leader and immediately used a defibrillator. Most Viewed |

50/50 is the odd type of film that explores death with a smile. The odds are high that you will laugh as well as cry, certainly more than the 50/50 chance that Joseph Gordon-Levitt, playing a late-20s radio station employee, will live after being diagnosed with cancer.
There's a phenomenon of sorts that occurs in movies like 50/50 or dramedys to label a sub-genre of movie. Audiences laugh because they are nervous rather than because a typical line is funny. Co-star Seth Rogen has many scenes where he's demonstrative but in a dramatic role, and Rogen in 50/50 plays a total prick of a human being. I saw something similar in Moneyball where Jonah Hill playing a serious character makes people laugh due to his persona and not the person he's actually playing. Rogen was getting huge laughs in the oddest places. To my mind either Rogen or Hill could move into Tom Hanks (Bachelor Party dude gets solemn in Philadelphia) territory in a few years with the right roles.
As for Gordon-Levitt 50/50 is the right role at the right time. Gordon-Levitt has gone from scene stealing as a supporting player in movies bad through good (G.I. Joe to Inception), and even starring in some indie films that were hits and no so much hits (500 Days of Summer to Hester). 50/50 places Gordon-Levitt on a cliff where he must tread the dangerous path of a person too young to die and also too immature to die.
Anna Kendrick and Anjelica Huston add some distaff counsel and at times have their own scene stealing moments. Ditto a couple of older guys (Philip Baker Hall and Matt Frewer) on chemotherapy in one of the film's typical scenes that demonstrates the dull reality of dying in ¾ time. With so much attention to detail and realism shown in 50/50 I'm still scratching my head as to how someone working in a mid-level job at a NPR-type radio station can have such great medical insurance.

In 2012, the Archbishop Ryan girls soccer team didn't lose its first game of the season until Nov. 6. It was the Ragdolls' only blemish of the season, a 1-0 first round state tournament defeat at the hands of Central Bucks West.
For Frankford football, three lopsided non-league losses to open the 2013 campaign now seem like ancient history.
Like anyone recently retired from a career they spent decades in, Sam Feldman found himself looking for something to do. When he couldn't come up with anything substantial, the former boys soccer coach at Northeast High School reached for the familiar.
As the blowout victories continued to mount in the first month of the season, so too did the confidence and expectations of Archbishop Ryan football supporters.
If a jogger happened to have passed Upper Darby High School as two football teams exited the field on Saturday afternoon, he or she wouldn't have been able to determine who had won the game.
Shane Kelly loved good soccer. Even beyond that, he was consumed by the sport's ability to bring people together.
Kylie Bowers had just scored the biggest goal of her brief high school soccer career, though the uber-shy freshman's reaction never showed it.
Asked what would be of most importance heading into Friday night's game at Northeast High School, Frankford senior quarterback Marquise Poston responded with a snappy answer to an arguably stupid question.
At 0-3, the sky wasn't necessarily falling for the George Washington football team. After all, the losses were all at the hands of formidable non-league opponents, and the rest of the Eagles' division hadn't fared much better through the first three weeks.
Aaron Povlow and the Father Judge soccer team had been waiting 10 long, brutal months for this game, so the goal going in was pretty cut and dry.

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Twelve-year-old Cuban singer Paola Guanche, a member of Prince Royce's team, was named the first "La Voz Kids" winner by the voting audience during a special three-hour finale on Telemundo tonight. After 13 successful weeks, "La Voz Kids" celebrated its grand finale in a magical evening with special performances by international recording artist Ricky Martin, who captivated the audience with a stunning performance of his new single, "Come With Me;" Mexican singer Ana Barbara premiered for the first time on television, "Yo Soy La Mujer," the theme song from Telemundo's new prime time telenovela "Marido en Alquiler;" and award-winning pop/bachata singer-songwriter - and now winning coach - Prince Royce, charmed the audience with his current hit, "Darte un Beso."
Telemundo and "La Voz Kids" discovered a brand new star in Paula Guanche. As the winner of the first season of the popular singing competition, Paola will receive a recording contract with Universal Music and cash prize of $50,000 awarded by AT&T in support of her education.

Paola, who hails from Florida, gave her best performance of the competition last night, singing "I Will Always Love You" displaying the stage confidence and command of an accomplished artist. The audience and all three coaches gave her a standing ovation and her coach, Prince Royce, was speechless. "Paola is exceptionally talented and she has impressed us all," he said proudly. "She demonstrated excellence in all musical genres during the competition. She clearly represents what 'La Voz Kids' is all about and I'm proud to be her coach. All of the kids proved themselves to be winners; I loved working with all and I have tremendous respect for them, especially for #TeamRoyce." After being named the winner of "La Voz Kids," Paola closed the show with a powerful rendition of the classic "Quimbara," which made the entire audience stand up and dance along.
Paola Guanche comes from a family of well-known Cuban singers and performers; you could say that music runs through her veins. She began singing and acting in shows with her family at a young age and has always felt comfortable in front of an audience. "I go up on stage and do what I have to do to win over the audience," the young singer shared. Paola joined "La Voz Kids" to show that, just like the rest of her family, she has star quality and can charm the audience with her voice, as she proved by winning the popular singing competition "La Voz Kids."

The spunky little 1,244 hp Hennessey Venom is now the fastest "two-seater sports car" in the world—again, after it hit 270.49 mph on Valentine's Day at the Kennedy Space Center's shuttle runway.
As a point of reference for you trivia junkies…That's roughly 55 mph faster than the actual space shuttles when they used to come in for a landing.
However, the record breaking run fell short of an actual Guinness world record since in order to make it into the record book, the Venom would have had to traveled down the runway and back, with the average of the two runs being calculated for the official time.
As you watch the video below, keep in mind, while the Venom did not break the Guinness world record for its impressive top speed, it did reach an impressive 186 mph in just under 14 seconds…earning it a Guinness approved record for the fastest accelerating car in the world. Not too shabby if you ask us!

The Christie administration is moving ahead with new regulations for charter schools, jumping ahead of the Legislature and its plans to take up the issue — and maybe a whole new law — in the fall.
On paper, it was a no-brainer. The Vineland Developmental Center should be the next large institution closed as part of New Jersey's strategy to move to community-based care for the developmentally disabled, state Human Resources Commissioner Jennifer Velez and her staff had decided.
Governor Chris Christie is continuing his Jersey Shore stumping with a visit to Ocean City on Wednesday as part of what he's calling an "Endless Summer Tax Relief Tour." But a new poll shows his summer push for a 10 percent tax cut isn't convincing a majority of voters.
One of the trickier tasks for schools is deciding where they can draw the line in controlling and disciplining their students for misbehavior, even when it happens well off school grounds or outside school hours.
New Jersey's Supreme Court says the state's judges don't have to contribute more to their pensions and health benefits, as is currently required of all other state employees.

Posted: 11:21 a.m. Friday, Sept. 27, 2013
The World Motor Sport Council today announced a 22-race Formula One calendar for 2014 that includes two new North American races: New Jersey and Mexico, though both are listed as provisional.
The calendar would be the longest in the sport's history if approved, which seems unlikely considering the number of provisional races and the logistics of some of the back-to-back races. Further, the sport's regulations stipulate that the maximum number of races in a season is 20.
Austin's race at Circuit of the Americas has been moved to Nov. 9 to make way for the Mexico race, which is subject to approval of capital city circuit. The season would end in Brazil two weeks later.
The University of Texas' 2014 conference schedule has not been released.
This year, Formula One is scheduled for the same weekend as a Longhorns'' home game with Oklahoma State. The time for that game, on Nov. 16, remains TBA.
Questions have surrounded the New Jersey race for more than a year. The race, on the streets of Weehawken and West New York with Manhattan as a backdrop, was initially scheduled for June of this year but was pushed back to 2014. As recently as a few months ago, Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone said the race would not likely go forward because of funding issues.
On the calendar announced today, New Jersey would be part of a back-to-back-to back with Monaco and Canada in late May to early June, which would prove hard for teams to move their equipment around.
"The entire Grand Prix of America team is thrilled to join the 2014 FIA calendar and we look forward to bringing world-class Formula One racing to New Jersey," race promoter Leo Hindery Jr. said in a statement today.
As had been reported, races at Austria and Russia have been added to the calendar, while India has been skipped with plans to return as a spring race in 2015. The money-losing race in South Korea has been moved to the spring and is also listed as provisional for 2014.
Changes to the calendar could still be made by the end of the year. Recently, 2012 and 2013 calendars were not finalized until December of the previous year.. The World Motor Sport Council, an arm of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile - the governing body of global motorsports, including Formula One - is set to meet again in December.
2014 F1 calendar:
March 16: Australia
March 30: Malaysia
April 6: Bahrain
April 20: China
April 27: Korea (provisional)
May 11: Spain
May 25: Monaco
June 1: New Jersey (provisional*)
June 8: Canada
June 22: Austria
July 6: Great Britain
July 20: Germany (Hockenheim)
July 27: Hungary
Aug. 24: Belgium
Sept. 7: Italy
Sept. 21: Singapore
Oct. 5: Russia (Sochi)
Oct. 12: Japan
Oct. 26: Abu Dhabi
Nov. 9: Austin
Nov. 16: Mexico (provisional*)

Call-back interview
The best interviews are seemingly informal conversations. However, getting to the point of such a seamless discussion requires planning and preparation. Learn everything you can about the firm or agency. Preparation translates into enthusiasm for the person interviewing you. There are three main areas to study:
For the practice area and position, start to learn the code language of law firm practice. For example "plaintiff's firm" means that the firm generally represents the claimant in civil cases, would refer to the call for "tort reform" as truly the call for "insurance reform," and thinks of itself as representing the underdog. These are generally more liberally minded practitioners, but be wary of any sweeping generalizations. On the flip side would be defense firms, which are usually larger and more corporate-minded. There are also transactional firms. They spend their time counseling corporations on transactions, employment issues, reorganizations, taxes, mergers & acquisitions and other issues. They act much like an outside counsel. Understanding the philosophical differences behind practice areas is essential to knowing whether you will be happy with any organization.
For an organization's history, read the firm's own literature very carefully, as well as its entry in Martindale-Hubbell and other resources in the Career Services Office. Also look at Westlaw and Lexis, especially in the news resources to see if the firm or certain lawyers have been in the news. You should also do a search of recent cases where the firm is listed as representing one of the parties. Few things are more impressive in an interview than, "I was reading Judge Carson's opinion in the Hess case your firm defended. I was surprised that she allowed the plaintiff to bring in the co-party on the damages issues" or some other such detailed statement. This kind of preparation says to the interviewer, "I want to work with you so much that I took the time to learn about you. I'm this thorough in my legal work, too." It speaks volumes, just as asking, "Do you do environmental law?" in an interview also speaks volumes. Expect to spend at least three hours researching each potential employer.
Ask the Career Services Office if it knows of any alumni who have worked at the firm, and call them. If they left on bad terms, take what they say with a grain of salt. Local attorneys who actually work on cases with the firm are also good resources of learning the firm's general reputation within the legal community.
On the day of the interview, be sure to be on time. Bring copies of everything you sent to the employers. Know the interviewer's name and how to pronounce it.
Most employers say that they already approve of the candidate's credentials before the interview, and that they are really looking for "fit." Fit can mean several things. Some employers want to see that the candidate is truly interested in the firm and its practice areas. Others want to see if the candidate is easy to talk to and to gauge how they will interact with clients. Public interest employers indicate that they want to verify a sense of motivation -- not just for the employer but for public service. Other factors employers hope to measure include maturity and a sense of responsibility, verbal and nonverbal communication skills, ability to think on one's feet, ability to articulate ideas, and the ability to relate to colleagues.
Be remembered for what you say, not what you wear. Low-cut blouses on women, earrings on men: these are the downfall of any interview. Your interview outfit should be the most conservative and professional suit you own. The interviewer is looking at you for not just the first impression you make, but also at the first impression you are likely to make on a client in the future. They are not interested in your individualism; they want to see if you can look like someone that works at the firm.
Choose a conservative suit with a skirt. It is worth investing in a high-quality suit that you reserve just for interviews. A truly good quality suit will not go out of style. Make sure the skirt is not too short -- at or below the knee for interviews. An ivory jewel neck silk blouse is very professional. Your closed-toe pump should not be over 1½ inches. Be sure that your shoes are polished and your heels scuff-free. Your stockings should be nude. Do not wear more than one tiny non-gemstone earring per ear. If your hair is shoulder length or longer, consider wearing it up, but stay away from giant salon style hair clips and scrunchies, as they are too casual.
Your suit should be a conservative and dark. Stay away from double-breasted suits. It is worth investing in a high-quality suit that you reserve just for interviews. A truly good quality suit will not go out of style. Wear a white, long-sleeve cotton shirt with a conservative tie with a small pattern or stripes. Your shoes should be black or cordovan and match your belt and watch band. Be sure to shine your shoes. Regardless of shoe color, your socks should be black.
The impression you want to make is confident without being arrogant; enthusiastic without gushing. Smile and make direct eye contact. Sit up straight in the chair. Keep your hands in a relaxed position in your lap. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security by the receptionist or secretary. Being careless about how you come off to the support staff can hurt an interview. Do not confess anything negative to the receptionist, like you don't really like the town or you have another interview that you really want to nail the next day. In the interview, if you find yourself adding nervous slang to your sentences, like "you know," "like…," or "um," take a deep, quiet breath and slow down.
A leather foldover pad with a place for a pen is all you should bring. Leave the purse or briefcase at home -- it will just become something else to worry about and distract you and your interviewer. And definitely leave the backpack -- you want them to think of you as a professional, not a student.
Hold out your hand and look the person in the eye. Say your name. If you talk at the same time, repeat the person's name to make sure you heard it correctly. Smile. Close your mouth.
There are certain questions that are considered standard interview questions. You should expect to be asked all of these questions and have answers prepared. Although you may think that employers just want automatons that can work, work, work, they also want someone they will like working with. Preparing for the standard questions will help you be more at ease during your interviews. Questions and answer tips follow:
This does not mean you should start talking about being the middle child or that you moved around a lot as a kid. Say something about your professional self. Enthusiastic, hard-working, and really interested in tax law (for example) might be a way to get things rolling. This is a good time to update anything that has happened since you sent the initial resume, like the next semester's grades came out or you got an award.
If grades are a problem, acknowledge that you wish your grades had been better and direct your comments to classes you excelled in, especially if they are relevant to the employer's practice area. If your grades reveal an upward trend, discuss your steady improvement. Shift to a topic about your accomplishments in academic-oriented extracurricular activities and job-related experiences. Avoid offering excuses for poor performance academically or professionally. Nobody wants to hire someone (or work with someone) who places blame on everyone else or who identifies personal life circumstances as the reason for mediocre performance. Everyone has personal problems and setbacks. Balancing academics, work and personal life is a fundamental coping skill.
Practice answering this question outloud. Set up various questions that force you to address the issue. For example, "Ms. ThirdYearStudent, I see from your transcript that some of your early grades are not as good as others. What happened?" Take a breath (but don't huff). "Well, I am not as happy with those first semester grades as I am with later grades. I've thought a lot about it and talked to professors in those courses and read the exams I wrote. I think it really boils down to the fact that I didn't know how to take a law school exam in the beginning. My background in computer science, while great training for analytical thinking, was not good preparation for essay exams. However, I learned from the problems and worked with an upper-class student on exam writing, and really saw my grades come up in the second semester."
Another example: "I've had a chance to read your writing sample, and found it quite impressive. I am struck by the fact that your strong writing is not mirrored in your overall GPA. What are your thoughts on that?" Your answer: "I have given this a lot of thought. I think in part my GPA is the result of my struggles in the first year with the pressures of writing an exam. However, I improved my test-taking skills in the second year and now think I've learned to be more efficient. Still, my GPA is not as high as I'd like it to be. I think that on the whole, my GPA does not reflect my level of understanding of various topics or my strong advocacy skills. For example, last summer at the Environmental Protection Agency, I argued a motion…"
Notice a few things about these responses. First, they honestly acknowledge the grades and admit that they gave them serious thought. Next, they don't try to blame professors, circumstances or other factors for their performance but focus on steps taken to address the grades. Then, they worked a positive point into the discussion, and turned to a topic they would rather talk about.
First, I would say that I'm very organized.
This is not confession time. Do not say, "legal writing" or "Getting things done on time" or "Analyzing cases." Choose something that you have overcome. For example, you might say that you once had a problem with managing your time, but you sought help, tried some techniques, and now can juggle multiple projects simultaneously without falling behind.
Why did you decide to go to law school? Why did you choose the Appalachian School of Law?Many employers have said they sense a disconnect between legal education and law practice. ASL has more skills requirements than most law schools. After taking all those classes, here is your chance to use it to your advantage. You might say that you wanted to be able to pass the bar and hit the ground running, and you knew that with ASL's emphasis on skills, you would be ready to calendar an Answer, write a Complaint or take a deposition. Do not say that you went to ASL because it's the only place you got in, even if that's true.
Why should we hire you? Why do you want to work for us?This is a great opportunity to show how diligent you have been in researching the employer and demonstrate the depth of your enthusiasm.
Many employers fear training someone for two years only to lose them because they would rather live in another region. You cannot possibly be too enthusiastic about a geographic region. If you don't know anything about the area where the firm is located, learn a few things before the interview. Gush.
Many employers have said that the most important part of the interview is the candidate's questions. Sincere, interested questions demonstrate to the interviewer that the candidate is after more than just any job. Even if you are after just any job, do not convey this impression. If you don't seem interested in what you will actually be doing in the job, your interviewer will wonder if you really care. Your body language when you ask a question will also indicate if it is a canned, rehearsed question or one resulting from genuine interest. When you read the questions below, picture two candidates: One sitting back, hands to the side, head upright. The other leaning forward slightly, head tilted, brow furrowed as if anticipating the answer and hands in the lap ready to grab a pen to write down the fascinating response -- who would you like to respond to?
NALP research indicates that the top three reasons why students don't get hired after an interview are lack of enthusiasm, arrogance, and poor communication skills.
As soon as you are invited to interview somewhere, stop in at Career Services to schedule a mock interview. Indicate where the interview is and leave a copy of your resume. Treat the mock interview like it is the real thing: arrive on time, dressed for the part and familiar with the employer. You will receive immediate, constructive feedback.
At one time, sending a thank-you letter after an initial interview was automatic. However, today the tide is changing, and many career advisers have discovered that a thank-you letter never helps a candidate, but can hurt them if anything about it is incorrect. The majority practice is to not send one after the initial interview, but to send one for all call-back interviews. If you do send one, it should be short and sent within 24 hours of the interview. You should mention something you talked about to remind the interviewer who you are. Here are some example thank-you letters.
NALP attempts to govern employment offers to law students. They publish the Principles and Standards for Law Placement and Recruitment Activities, which includes a section on the timing of offers and decisions. Generally, the principles and standards apply to large firms, and you are welcome to read about them if you find yourself interviewing at a big firm. For employers of 25 or fewer attorneys, the general guideline is that offers are left open for at least two weeks. The smaller the firm, the more likely it is that they don't follow any guidelines but their own. Keep in mind that different types of employers may have different practices. For example, the accepted standard for clerkships is to accept immediately but no later than 24 hours from the time of the offer.
The larger the firm, the more likely it is that they have a set starting salary and benefits package. Attempts at negotiation with large firms are frowned on. Smaller firms may have more room. Successful negotiation depends on you having a thorough understanding of market rates for similar firms in the same geographic region. So a good answer to, "What salary are you looking for?" is, "The going rate in this market is X dollars, and I'd like to get somewhere around that." It is common to be assured of a small bonus when you pass the bar. It is perfectly acceptable (although not always granted) to ask for your bar review course to be paid for instead of the bonus. NALP publishes statistics on their website for starting salaries all over the country.
Once you schedule an interview, do not cancel it or call to reschedule it unless you have a serious reason. If you do not show up for an interview and have not called to cancel it, you must send the employer a formal written apology within 24 hours and provide a copy to Career Services. (ASL will also send one.) If you do not send an apology within 24 hours, you will not be allowed to use the services or resources of the ASL Career Services Office. Calling the Career Services Office to cancel an interview is not sufficient; you must call the employer directly and advise Career Services about who you spoke to and when you called.
The initial interview is usually 30 minutes long, with one interviewer. The call back is in the employer's office with several interviewers and usually includes a meal. It can last anywhere from a few hours to a full day. The purpose of this extensive interview is to see how you will fit into the culture of the organization. Respond to a call-back invitation as soon as possible, and try to schedule the earliest date offered. Ask how much time to allot and be prepared to stay as long as necessary. As the call-back interview is really a string of initial interviews, you will use all of the skills you used in the first interview.
The difficult part of a call-back interview is endurance. You have to be as bright and enthusiastic at the end of the day as at the beginning. It is acceptable to ask for two trips to the restroom for a full-day interview. Use this time to make notes about the interviewers you have met so you can write original thank-you letters.
Most call-back interviews, and some first interviews, will involve a meal. This is not a time to relax -- your eating habits and manners are part of the interview. The organization will want to know that they can bring you to meals with clients. A few tips to keep in mind are to order something in the middle price range from the menu. Do not order additional courses unless everyone else at the table does. Do not start to eat until everyone has their meal, unless the host insists. Pick food that will not make a mess. Also consider your breath for the rest of the day -- avoid onions and be sure to carry breath strips. Finally, check your teeth in the restroom mirror after the meal. Do not pick your teeth or do any other kind of grooming outside the restroom.

Guys, I wonder if anyone here plays PC games and if yes, I am curious if you are familiar with such strategy games as the Anno series (two latest installments in particular) or Tropico 4 or Caesar 4. These games are the best strategy city builders the video game industry has to offer today. BB can't hold a candle to these games. In comparison, it is moronic and primitive. Some old games are incredibly good too. Anno has a huge multiplayer component. Tropico is fun because you are a dictator in your very own banana republic.

Google Dawn of Discovery-Venice and other Anno games, they are made by Ubisoft. Fully customizable games, complex and versatile. I invested about 500 hours in each and barely scratched the surface. Tropico adds a heavy dose of satire as you build your sweat shops and plantations, export and import goods, suppress liberty, establish your secret police, fight rebels, deal with various factions and the superpowers, build your own Mausoleum, Childhood museum and statues, deliver speeches ( if you allow elections) full of promises you don't necessarily intend to keep, manage your finances and production of various goods, fight crime and pollution, control wages and happiness, housing and food, tourism and entertainment and a lot of other things, and grow your military so the rebels, should you have them as a result of your policies, will be kept in check. And don't forget about your own Swiss bank account. Fantastic game.
