Summer 2004
I first heard the thunder in the distance last June, when the company's new human resource director called a meeting of our education team members. "I just want to let you know that I am in charge of customer education now, and that I will not be spending any more money on outside training," she said with a chilly air of confidence. "When the summer conferences are over, we will reevaluate the department."
No one else seemed to hear the distant rumble — steady, threatening, but still far away. Was it just me?
September 7, 2004 8:15am
"We need to have a difficult conversation. Please come into my office."
I'm not sure how I knew, but I did. This was the moment my life would change. At the word "difficult," my stomach lurched.
This woman didn't know or care about how I had built up the meetings department at this company. In the past few years, I had expanded my role to the point where I was always included when we developed new external educational meeting plans. The look, procedures, and hotel locations were my jurisdiction. I had complete control over the registration process and contract negotiation. In 2003, we were recognized as the first in our industry to offer such extensive product and business-building training, and we were even the subject of an article in an industry magazine.
None of that mattered once the HR director had made her first big executive decision at her new company — to get rid of me. My successes, my passion, my job — gone in a flash.
September 8, 2004
I thought that with my emotions in turmoil and what felt like the endless retelling of my story, I'd sleep well — at least as an escape. But I was up by 5:30 a.m., as I had been the previous week running events in Chicago. Had I really traveled seven out of the last 10 weeks?
The morning light on my face highlighted the toll that yesterday had taken. Note to self: Keep up with moisturizer and makeup each day!
Armed with my favorite cup of java, I took my first step: I created a new e-mail account. My Internet service provider allows for multiple accounts at no extra charge. I wanted to come up with a name that reflected the meetings industry. I had never had the time before to think about something like that — now I did.
The name that makes me unique, I thought, is my last name: Ruby. I love that name, and I enjoy the fact that it's a favorite gem. My new approach, should I decide to be an independent planner, would be to provide gem-like service. Hmm. Ruby Meetings. Sparkle, shine, hardness factor. Maybe I could even do gem-levels of service, like the "Sapphire Plan" or the "Ruby Plan." (I could think that part through later.)
Within several hours of using my new online identity, I knew I had made the right choice — someone replied to a note I sent asking me if I was an independent meeting planner. That idea had always been in the back of my mind, but now I could research the possibilities more seriously. Another note to self: Start researching independent meeting planners and networking with them.
I needed to hit the Internet and the newspaper, and let all my MIMlist buddies know that I was looking for work. I remembered the job search e-mail that the MIMlist gets weekly from M.S. Browning. This listing of resume resources, books to read, job Web sites, and keyword searches is wonderfully comprehensive, and its suggestions for meeting-related word searches revealed opportunities I hadn't thought of (see box below). I considered some of her examples: education program coordinator, conference services, marketing events. Wow — I could do this!
My next step was to sign up on job search sites Monster and CareerBuilder, with focused searches. I chose them first because they're so easy to use.
I spent about half the day on the Internet and the rest receiving calls from astonished former co-workers. The other thing I did was clean my house. With all this turmoil, I needed to get my personal life in order. I guess the house is a space where I can assert my authority. And if I get tired enough, I thought, I won't have to face the grief.
September 15, 2004
In the past week, I have fallen into a forced rhythm of getting myself out of bed, eating a proper breakfast, and taking the dog for a long walk before sitting down to search the Web. My poor dog, Pumpkin, doesn't understand the paces I have put her through as I try to run away from feeling unwanted. Also, she's used to sleeping all morning while we are at work, something I never knew until now. Oh well, it will be good for both of us.
This morning I arranged my inbox in Outlook with a folder just for e-mail related to my search. My family — my husband, Bob; daughter, Heather, a nursing school student; sons Eric, a high-school senior, and Brian, a sixth-grader — will appreciate not having to sort through my job-hunting messages as they read their e-mail.
It was thrilling to get the first response to my resume, but I knew right away that it wasn't the job for me because I don't want to commute an hour each way. (Our home in Willow Grove, Pa., is about 14 miles from downtown Philadelphia.) Nevertheless, I decided to interview for it.
I realize I did that because I need to feel wanted, and to make sure I hadn't lost the "energy" for the meetings world after a week out of work. It has been nearly four years since I last interviewed, and I need to get back in practice. What worked before — and what is my new strategy? That's what I need to find out, whether it takes two interviews or 200.
I also realize that I was so used to running with my "hair on fire" that coming to a dead stop after traveling seven of the past 10 weeks has been difficult. Can I muster the energy needed to market myself?
September 21, 2004
My husband just concluded a successful job search, so I decided to figure out what I could I learn from him. Far from an avid reader, he had picked up a great little book called Sixty Seconds & You're Hired, by Robin Ryan (Penguin Books, 2000). It includes a section about an event planner looking for a job. I had read it casually this past summer, not taking it seriously. It took about two weeks for me to remember we had it and about two days to really read it.
This book was instrumental in helping my husband to prepare for his interviews by memorizing a condensed promotion — what the author calls "the 60-second sell" — along with preparing an agenda and answering standard but sometimes unnerving questions in advance.
My husband got the job he was looking for within three months. Maybe if that old dog could learn a few tricks, I could, too.
September 29, 2004
My first interview went well enough, but I had not considered a new trend in interviewing — having the whole gang present. I wasn't prepared to meet with six people. I'll know better next time.
The interview was for a management position that I was almost qualified for. I am used to reaching for very high goals, so I tried for it. But I didn't have all the experience they needed. Then again, in my last job, I didn't start out thinking I was going to end up being the company's event coordinator — I started out as a part-time administrative assistant.
The questions they asked were typical, but will help me in my next interview. I know I'm not going to get this one.
October 1, 2004
As I order my days, I find myself with the teenage phone syndrome. Remember when you would sit by the phone, willing it to ring? When not willing the phone to ring, I have been tasking the "send/receive" icon on the computer a little too hard.
October 5, 2004
One of the benefits of my new situation is that the aforementioned dog has been getting a little more fit, as have I. Sunshine and exercise are great mood lifters.
It's not that employers are calling in droves, but that I have finally accepted my lot. And I have finally allowed myself to believe that I will find a great job.
As a result of my posting on the MIMlist, I received a call from a local travel agency handling corporate incentives. Would I be interested in a short-term contract job? I can certainly use the money, but do I want to take the time away from the job search and potential interview appointments? Should I focus only on the future possibilities while an actual opportunity is courting me? Could this be a trial period that might turn into a "real" job? Possibly.
October 10, 2004
I interviewed and was hired for the job. The contract begins in mid-October and will last seven days.
As I continue to poke around the Internet, I find myself constantly challenged to lower my expectations, both about dollars and job type. I have been seeing ads for administrative assistants who plan meetings, coordinators who plan meetings, and executive assistants who plan meetings. These positions might not seem in line with my skills, but could I take a job and redefine it? Of course! That's what I did in my last job!
I worked in a training environment, so I will redefine my Web search with words used in that context.
October 14, 2004
I received another phone call, this time from an employer who was looking for a meeting planner "lite," someone to set up a four-hour meeting at a local hotel for 10 people. From the phone interview, I was passed on to the next "hire" — higher up. After a few very pointed questions, I was told that I was overqualified for the posted position, but was asked if I would I be interested in hearing about another position. So now I have another interview set up. Good work!
My contract job, which started the other day, includes basic office rituals and tasks for the upcoming incentive meeting. When I got back after the first day, I was exhausted. I wondered how I could possibly get through an entire week at work. That thought struck such fear in me. What if I cannot get back to the pace I kept before?
On a visit to my husband's new job the other day, I met all of his higher-ups. "I hear you're looking for a job. Have any luck?" one of them asked. That question is still embarrassing to me — even now.
"No, not yet," I said. "I'm waiting for the right opportunity."
"What type of job are you looking for?"
My answer started slowly, almost shyly. Then the excitement welled up within me once again as I described my perfect meeting planning position. In my mind, I vowed to renew my search with more vigor. And I realized that my story is just beginning …
Kimberly Ruby (firstname.lastname@example.com) is based in Willow Grove, Pa. As this issue went to press, she was still searching for a job.
Surfing the Net
In addition to searching the well-known, high-traffic job sites such as Monster and CareerBuilder, meeting professionals can search for positions at sites specializing in this industry. A good first step is a visit to the two meetings-specific search companies: The Meeting Connection (www.themeetingconnection.com) and The Meeting Candidate Network (www.meetingjobs.com). Meeting Professionals International has a job bank, available to members and nonmembers (www.mpiweb.org/resources/jobs/results.asp), as well as links to other hospitality industry job sites. On Corporate Meetings & Incentives' Web site, meetingsnet.com, our "Find a Job" section has dozens of listings from mediabistro.com. The best source for temporary positions is www.meetingtempjobs.com.
Here are a few common keywords to get you started: conference coordinator, director, manager, planner; convention manager; corporate meeting; event coordinator, manager, planner, planning; exhibits; meeting manager, planning, planner, specialist; program coordinator, specialist, manager; special events; tradeshow.
Kim Sells Herself
Kim shares five of her "pre-answers" to typical interview questions, based on advice from the book Sixty-Seconds & You're Hired by Robin Ryan (Penguin Books, 2000):
- Describe your ideal supervisor.
"The management style that suits me best is one that allows me to be the most productive. I love to be a team player, but I also enjoy autonomy, and taking the ball and running with it. I flourish with this approach, and enjoy meeting and exceeding the management's expectations. The ideal supervisor would be willing to give feedback so that I could grow in the position."
- Describe a difficult co-worker.
"We all have had difficult co-workers. One in particular was having difficulty with my rise in the company, and we had to share an office. I decided that as long as we had to work together, each day I would take five minutes (during my own break time), no longer, to listen to her woes. This accomplished two things: She felt valued, and knew I would listen intently to her problems. Within three days, the acrimony was gone, and she became productive and more focused. "
- What about your last job bothered you the most?
"I have found that every job has some pluses or minuses. In my case, since I was somewhat isolated on the second floor, some in the company didn't have a clue about what I did. I took an opportunity to write a piece for the internal newsletter — not tooting my own horn, but just letting everyone know what it was that I encountered, and what I did for a living."
- How would your last manager describe you?
"He would describe me as Hercules. This may sound funny, but he called me that often, due to the amount of work I was able to accomplish in my multiple roles as meeting planner, registration personnel, and more! When we were setting up for our conference, I would push around huge crates. I am very short, so he thought this was a Herculean effort — it sort of looked funny, too!"
- What was one of the most difficult situations you faced professionally?
"Finding out at 2 p.m. while in baggage claim that the hotel at which I had arranged a meeting had decided to move my entire sleeping room block for that night and the next four nights to another hotel. The company president was an hour behind me at the airport, so I had no way to contact him (no cell phone on the plane!). I was able to contact everyone eventually — there was no immediate way to move everyone back to the hotel — and make them aware of the situation. My next step was to call a meeting of the hotel management and let them know how I would expect them to step up and execute the remainder of the meeting. I also had them write letters of apology to each attendee and provide an in-room amenity. I was eventually able to have the original hotel pay for all of the sleeping rooms at the new hotel for the entire length of the conference."
Interview Prep
5 questions that might take meeting planner candidates by surprise:
Give me an example of a time when you had a last minute request without the time or resources to get the job done — but didn't have the choice to say no.
To see how they handle stress and last-minute requests
When you open the paper on Sunday, what section do you go to first, and why?
To learn about the interests of the candidates, both personal and professional
What can you do for us that other candidates can't?
To find out what skills the candidate feels set him or her apart from others
Can you discuss a meeting or event for which you stepped out of your specific area of expertise?
To find out how resourceful a candidate is at getting information beyond his scope of experience
Describe a perfect day at your current or last job. When were you most satisfied with this job?
To see if the candidate's criteria or job satisfaction fall within what the new job entails

A Curved/Rounded screen Blackberry is now completely possible
Samsung released at CES a prototype of a Samsung Phone running on Android that has a rounded off screen.
I don't think they're going to be necessarily rolling out a new phone with the curved display but rather showing that it is a possibility.

Well, maybe not since they are actually making use of the bezel, but if they didn't go that route, those concept phones would be amazing. - 01-09-2013, 10:18 PM #2
Curved screens existed prior to this year...pretty sure the Dell Venue Pro had a curved screen.
XoXoXo - 01-09-2013, 10:22 PM #3
Why do we need a curved screen?
My nexus 4 even has a little curved glass with it on the sides. the screen on the galaxy nexus had an "arc" to it.
Now these designs do take it a step further but I'm still not sold on the usability factor yet. - 01-10-2013, 08:44 AM #5
Curving the screen onto one side of a device could be good, keep all your notification icons handily in view, but beyond that it seems a bit pointless.
Inevation has to start small. Now that the concept is proven who knows what some designer/engineer will come up with. Could be the next big thing
Eventually you could see some interesting stuff when the screens become tough enough to be unfolded and folded all the time, but before that it seems more like benefits would be minimal.
My first tv had a curved screen and the wife's crystal ball has one.

Best Uses
im very happy using this every day
Best Uses
These cases are the toughest I've found. I recently had one fall from the back of my truck onto the roadway and the box and its contents were undamaged. I click a few together to make less trips into the job site, that's when you start to notice how heavy they are. Definitely worth the money. I have 7 and just ordered 5 more to keep my plumbing tools organized
Best Uses
Great product. Heavy duty. Great for organizing.
Best Uses
I use these boxes to carry all my odd shaped tools and stuff that doesn't fill well in bags. Great system just purchased the dolly that goes with these boxes so I can lock them down in the evening.
Best Uses
I bought this case to transport my DeWalt MAX 12v system. I'm a computer/network installer, and this works nicely. It's got thick walls that are virtually puncture-proof, yet this particular model is not so heavy that it's unwieldy to carry up a ladder or stairs. (DeWalt makes two bigger cases in this line that would be a bit too heavy in my work).
The top divider is different, but still works for small tools. This case comes with very deep bins for loose screws and such, but I removed them to get my drill and impact driver in. But for those who purchase the 3-case set, this model would make a good supply carrier. If you want TOUGH, this is it.

The 25 Greatest Batman Graphic Novels
The Dark Knight returns to stock your bookshelf with good reads.
To celebrate the impending release of The Dark Knight Rises -- Christopher Nolan's final installment of his insanely popular Batman series of films -- we thought it was time to once again take a look at the best Batman ever.
No comic book character has been blessed with as many must-read stories as the Batman. In forming a list of the 25 greatest Batman stories ever told, I read and reread well over 100 books, slowly narrowing the list down to the essentials. These are the books everyone should read; the can't miss home run tales of the Dark Knight.
There are great Batman stories that didn't make the list. I love Grant Morrison's Batman and Robin run, Scott Snyder's Detective Comics tales, and Jeph Loeb's early Batman/Superman stories. Their exclusion, and the exclusion of numerous other great reads, doesn't reflect on the quality of those books. Only 25 could make it. There are dozens of others I simply didn't have room for on this list.
In the end, this remains a list of the 25 Batman stories every comics fan should read.
When making our selections, it became necessary to set up some ground rules. After all, Batman's adventures go beyond his own books. Do we count the JLA? What about something like Robin: Year One? Books were weighed against four criteria.
- Format - Though we call this list "The 25 Greatest Batman Graphic Novels," it's in a loose sense. Prestige format books (such as The Killing Joke), graphic novels (Son of the Demon) and trade paperbacks (Tales of the Demon) are all eligible.
- A Batman Story - Batman needs to be involved in the story as a vital character. We love books such as Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood and Batman: Birth of the Demon, but these great tales are origins of other characters that scarcely utilize the Dark Knight. A JLA or any other story is eligible, provided Batman is in the lead role.
- A Good Read - Sometimes too much importance is placed on the significance of a story rather than the quality of the storytelling. A story needs to be compelling beyond just the plot twists.
- Indelible Mark - Great stories are unforgettable. It's not enough just to be a good read, each of these books must linger in our memories. Every book on this list has stayed with us even after the last page was read. These are books you tell people, "You just have to read this, if not your life will have less meaning."
Batman: Nine Lives Written by Dean Motter, Art by Michael Lark |
"That night I began to appreciate Wayne's misanthropy. To him, everyone was an enemy of one kind or another."
Who killed Selina Kyle? That's what private detective Dick Grayson and the mysterious Batman hope to discover. These two might be partners in another universe, but in Nine Lives, Grayson doesn't care much for the Batman and the Batman, well, he doesn't care much for anyone.
Noir is a natural fit for Batman villains. Joker becomes a two-bit card shark, Harvey Dent a two-faced lawyer, the Penguin a mob boss, and Mr. Freeze a stone cold hitman. The fun noir twists on Batman's Rogues Gallery is great, but Grayson's the one who shines here. I'm a Grayson fan, but I have to say, he's never been as visceral, fun, and interesting as he is here.
Batman: The Man Who Laughs Written by Ed Brubaker, Art by Doug Mahnke |
"Some of these people have been dead for nearly a month. I think whoever did this was practicing on them."
A mad man is targeting Gotham's elite and next on his hit list is millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne. This is Batman's introduction to his most nefarious villain, the Joker. Where Alan Moore's The Killing Joke tells the origin of the Clown Prince of Crime, The Man Who Laughs details the first tussle between Joker and Batman.
Brubaker is one of the best crime writers in comics. He manages to bring some of that noir flair to The Man Who Laughs while maintaining the proper tone and pace for a good Batman yarn. To my knowledge this is the only story to ever suggest that, like Bruce Wayne, the Joker had to practice to perfect his art. And that's ultimately what makes the Joker so frightening. His psychosis is not chaotic, not as random as you might think. There's a methodology and a purposefulness to many of his actions.
Batman: Venom Written by Dennis O'Neil, Art by Trevor Von Eeden & Russell Braun |
"She died. I was too weak to save her."
Venom opens with one of the biggest failures in Batman's career. A little girl is trapped. Drowning. And Batman isn't strong enough to save her. Distraught, the Dark Knight finds a new alternative to strength training -- a little pill that triples his strength. Of course, it's highly addictive and the always-in-control hero loses his grip, nearly assassinating Jim Gordon just to get his fix. It's a look at a side of Batman we rarely see.
Venom is one of those stories I always struggle to rank. The premise is stronger than the actual writing. Batman fights a shark. So, there's that. But there are moments, strong moments, where O'Neil tests the limits of Batman's commitment to his crusade. And it's enough to make Venom one of the more memorable Batman stories ever told.
Batman: Thrillkiller Written by Howard Chaykin, Art by Dan Brereton |
"Welcome to the dead parents society, Dick."
During a time of political and social turmoil, the citizens of Gotham put their hopes on the city's Dynamic Duo to maintain order. I'm talking about Batgirl and Robin, of course. Set in the early '60s, this Elseworlds story imagines the Joker as a hot babe, Bruce Wayne as a reluctant hero, and Barbara Gordon as a tormented crusader of vengeance. As if that weren't enough, there's a really awkward sex scene between Bruce Wayne and Black Canary.
Thrillkiller takes familiar characters and nudges them slightly to the left, creating surprises at nearly every turn of the page. No Gotham City denizen is quite their true selves here, but none are so far removed as to be unbelievable. What that really means is that you have a story that offers a fresh take on the Batman mythos. It still feels new even after nearly 15 years.
Justice League of America: Tower of Babel Written by Mark Waid, Art by Howard Porter |
"All the plans, the traps, the signal trackers--they were mine! Superman--I did this to you!"
Two stories solidified the notion that Batman can kick anyone's ass. The first was Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman outwits and outduels Superman, the other is Mark Waid's excellent JLA story, Tower of Babel.
Batman, we discover, has a plan for everything. That includes what to do if any of his allies in the Justice League go rogue. He's prepared to take down any of his friends when necessary. And when an enemy unlocks those secret plans and uses them against the JLA, we get to see Batman's obsessive planning come to fruition.

When it comes to education, the youth in Delta County are blessed with a variety of options. But because public schools are prohibited from using religious curriculum, some parents still opt for home-centered programs like Classical Conversations.
The goal for Classical Conversations students is "To know God and make Him known." A biblical worldview is combined with the classical method of learning to create a highly structured educational program for students in grades K-12, using parents as the primary teacher.
The youngest students (K-6) are enrolled in the Foundations program. When students get together during "community day" once a week, they do memory work which has been divided into six subjects: timeline/history, geography, math, science, Latin, and English grammar. Facts are set to familiar tunes like "Jesus Loves Me" to make them easier to recall. In addition to memorizing new information, students review the material they've learned in previous sessions, work on a science project, participate in a fine arts project/lesson, and make an oral presentation. Some weeks the topics for the oral presentations are assigned; on "free weeks," the students can "show-and-tell" whatever appeals to them. During the fine arts lessons, students learn about the basics of art, practice music with a tin whistle, study the great artists, and spend time listening to classical music.
The Essentials program carries the curriculum forward for fourth-sixth graders, emphasizing the "essentials" of language, writing and arithmetic.
In both Foundations and Essentials, a parent who has been trained as a tutor introduces the subjects the students will be working on at home the remainder of the week. The tutors serve as models for the other parents, equipping them to expand upon the topics that have been introduced during community day.
The once-a-week gatherings are not intended as a drop-off for parents. Parents are expected to remain on the premises, and many act as tutors, explained Dawna Rockey.
She is homeschooling six of her eight children, and can do so successfully because of the Classical Conversations curriculum. "I can teach 50 percent of the subject matter in a group setting at home, like a one-room schoolhouse," she said.
The curriculum not only helps her stay organized, it's also engaging. "I don't have to force my kids to learn," she said. "They love it."
She explains she went to an informational meeting reluctantly, because she already had homeschool curriculum and didn't want to start over. But she was sold on the concept. Tuition is affordable and books can be used for several years.
Currently, the Classical Conversations community in Delta County does not extend to the high school level, but Britny Havertape, curriculum director, hopes to generate enough interest to expand into the Challenge program for grades 7-12. The program involves Saxon math, Apologia sciences, classic literature, writing, debate and more. The older students are expected to prepare all week and come to community day ready to present their learnings.
Havertape, the area manager for Classical Conversations, oversees communities on the Western Slope and in Utah. She says they're called "communities" because the educational groups are made up of like-minded individuals and allow interaction for students and parents alike. There's also a level of accountability that a community provides, Havertape points out. With Classical Conversations, there's structure in place to ensure work is completed in a timely manner. Testing, recordkeeping and training for parents are available. The curriculum is academically rigorous and challenging. And just as within a community, friendships develop among the students and parents.
Havertape understands the importance of feeling connected to others in similar situations. She and her husband were missionaries in Russia when she began her homeschooling experience. "I felt very alone in my journey," she said. "It felt almost easier just to give up."
Then during a visit from an American church group, a homeschool mother told her about Classical Conversations. The Havertapes returned to the U.S. on furlough and Britni had an opportunity to observe a Classical Conversations community in California. She returned to Russia with renewed focus. After two years of working with the Classical Conversations curriculum, Britni, her husband and three children moved to the Western Slope. When she discovered there was no community in the area, she took steps to get a group started.
The program is open to any parent, Christian or non-Christian, Havertape stresses. The tutors and directors have signed a statement of faith, but at the Foundations/Essentials levels there is little discussion about theology. Those conversations begin at the Challenge level as an avenue for older students to learn how to discuss what they believe and how to defend their point of view. The goal is to teach the students how to present their arguments in a persuasive manner, a lesson in preparation and research that extends beyond biblical precepts. Whether students are studying chemistry or composition, the goal is to teaching them HOW to learn so when they graduate they'll feel competent to continue their education in any area.
Anyone interested in Classical Conversations, and the middle/high school program in particular, is encouraged to call Havertape at 874-6802. Parents willing to serve as tutors will need to undergo training this summer.

Electronic System for Travel Authorization
ESTA, or the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, is an online application system related to the Visa Waiver Program. The advantage of this program is that travelers can visit the United States without applying for a visa first. However, only certain countries are enrolled in the Visa Waiver Program, and its citizens must now apply for a travel authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization before being allowed to check in.
You can enter the United States through the Visa Waiver Program via land, air or sea, but an approved travel authorization is only related to air and sea entries. If you enter the U.S. via land, you must only complete the hard copy version of Form I-94W for now. Some air carriers will still require you to complete the paper-based Form I-94W in addition to customs form 6059B, which everybody must complete.
Update your ESTA and be approved within seconds!
New U.S. Entry Requirements

Beware of ESTA Scams
What is the Visa Waiver Program and the ESTA Program?
The Visa Waiver Program has made visiting the United States much easier for citizens of the member countries. The new ESTA requirement is only one of several requirements that must be fulfilled in order to visit the United States through the visa-free program. The most important requirements include an approved travel authorization (ESTA), an approved passport, and fulfillment of the visitor requirements under the Visa Waiver Program.
Submitting the ESTA application via the internet requires your browser to be of a certain newer version. You are only recommend to use Internet Explorer 5.0 (with Service Pack 2) or a newer version. Alternatively, you may also use Netscape Version 6.2 or a newer version. Both browsers should support 128-bit encryption. The use of Firefox or Chrome is not recommended if you are applying yourself.

Hyperventilation DiagnosisThe doctor will rapidly examine the patient, especially breathing and circulation. If the doctor does not find anything immediately life-threatening, the doctor will ask about medical history and do a physical exam. Certain tests may be ordered to explore other causes of the patient's signs and symptoms. These tests are often ordered because the only way to confirm a person has hyperventilation syndrome is to eliminate other causes. The patient may have an IV started and may be hooked up to a monitor during the evaluation. The doctor may order these tests:

Will Apple replace my Magsafe charger?
I have a MBP that is from 2010, and had the first charger for about a year and a half-ish. The same thing happened but bought a new one since I thought it was my fault. But the one I currently have is splitting and has some of the yellow discoloration on the cord by the connector (also about a year and a half old). As you can see in the pictures. I haven't went to the apple store yet or tried calling since I did get my charger in the U.S. and I have been in New Zealand for the past year. Would they replace it or what do you all suggest? Thanks! |

If you don't want to go to an Apple Store, call AppleCare and tell them your power cord is fraying; they'll probably replace it even if you are out of warranty.
I have to wonder sometimes what you guys do to cause this? Of all my computers I've never had this issue. Not with the old plastic T-connectors, not with the L connector, and not with the new aluminium T-connectors.

You'd probably have better luck at an Apple store than over the phone, unless you're covered by Apple Care, in which case they'd cover it for you. If you do call make sure you emphasize that it is frayed and not accidental damage.

Thanks for the responses I think there is one about 20mins away. I think the apple store here is a Apple Authorised Service Provider. So I am not sure if they would do it.
I use it normal, I'm pretty sure? Maybe sometimes I put a little tug and strain on it and it might cause it? I think I might need to get a 3 pronged one instead of the 2 pronged one with the block, so I can have some stretch. But I may try the store, just need to find a way there. If not I'll call them. |

I'd tell them the cable looks burned and is splitting near the MagSafe connector. Let them know your worried it may short out.

So I just rang and said that. My response is to go into a apple store with a receipt for proof purchase and also under a year warranty. If not I have to buy a new one..awesome pretty sure mines over a year. Thanks apple..

BlueCrest is planning to shut down the $600 million UCITS version of its multi-billion dollar BlueTrend systematic trading CTA strategy because of fears that the tracking error between the onshore version of the strategy and the original offshore version is about to exceed its maximum permitted level
The BlueTrend UCITS Fund, which is managed by BlueCrest and which is on the Bank of America Merrill Lynch UCITS platform, is expected to close at the end of November – according to a letter sent to investors.
The tracking error of the UCITS fund compared to the original Cayman offshore version of the fund, which has $10.2 billion of assets under management, is expected to be a maximum of 3.5%. So far the UCITS fund has performed broadly in line with the expectations that...

President Obama gave his State of the Union Address this past week and in it he focused on a variety of important issues – transportation being one of them. The President emphasized high-speed rail, rebuilding roads and bridges, connecting the entire U.S. population to the digital age, increasing clean energy infrastructure, and making sure these projects are supported by private investment.
The President also rather emphatically said that he would not sign any bill that contained earmarked projects. This is not a new issue for Congress to debate – it comes up all the time. The entire script of the speech can be found at www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/01/25/remarks-president-state-union-address.
What exactly is an earmark? It's a specific project with a specific amount of money tied to it identified in a proposed piece of legislation. Many people think that an earmark is money an area receives in addition to its regular funding – so it amounts to extra money to build some project. This is not always the case – especially as it relates to transportation funding. Most times, an earmarked transportation project only serves to prioritize money an area is already receiving from formula funds – it serves to have Congress prioritize funds that local elected officials would normally prioritize! Many times a project that has not been prioritized high enough in the local process gets submitted for "congressional" funding and is funded in this manner.
In addition, you almost never get all the money you need through the earmarking process to do the project. This means that an agency then has to find other funds to supplement the congressional earmark it has received. This often takes several years to accomplish and many times additional dollars are never found. This is one reason that many earmarked funds are never actually spent.
I can say, though, that certain projects – important projects of regional significance – have a much better chance of being funded through the use of earmarks than through the use of formula funds. Transit capital projects are often funded through the use of congressional earmarks and they do represent additional dollars coming into an area that otherwise wouldn't be there.
It will be difficult for Congress to develop legislation without earmarked projects and equally difficult for the President to veto otherwise good legislation that contains some earmarked projects. Can't wait to see what happens!
Governor Rick Snyder gets it. The Detroit River International Crossing isn't just about traffic, isn't just about accommodating existing traffic volumes between the US and Canada – it is a lot more. It includes addressing safety and security risks through redundancy, it puts people to work, it provides for the current and future growth of trade between the US and Canada and the rest of the world. These are all concepts Governor Snyder spoke of in his State of the State address as he urged the legislature to support the project.
If these weren't good enough reasons to approve the project, he had one more surprise for us all. The Governor indicated that he and MDOT Director Kirk Steudle had managed to secure an agreement with the Federal Highway Administration that will allow Michigan to count the $550 million that Canada has offered to spend in support of the DRIC project as the state's match for federal highway funds. This would allow the state to match all of the available federal transportation funding for the next couple of years without the legislature having to increase the gas tax or shift the money from some other place in a very tight budget. Attractive? You bet! You get all the long-term benefits for a new border crossing, the short-term benefits of putting people to work, and even more immediate benefits of matching all available federal aid. Sounds like a win, win, win to me!
Now, anyone who thinks that it will happen easily hasn't been following this project for very long. Much needs to be done including working cooperatively with the Ambassador Bridge representatives if this project is ever going to get done and the benefits realized. It is a step forward – a significant step. Now, let's finish the job, secure the needed agreements, and look for ways to bring all parties – including the Ambassador Bridge – on board.
I am getting tired of writing it and you must be tired of reading it. What is it? The condition of our transportation system is bad and it is getting worse. It is still true, things are not getting any better, but the message isn't having the impact some thought it would. That is, it hasn't impacted legislators to increase revenues (read increase taxes). Governor Snyder and many members of the legislature have already indicated they will not support increasing taxes at this time. So, we can either continue banging our heads against the wall or try to develop an approach to address as many of our needs as possible until the calvary – additional funds – show up. My head hurts from all the banging, so I think we need a new plan – at least for now. I think the strategy has several components including:
You get the picture. Will implementing these activities solve the problem? No. Will they result in a better transportation system? Yes, they can help – they should be part of the everyday business plan of any public agency. Investing in these types of strategies should put us in good stead for the time in the hopefully not- too-distant-future when our economy will be growing and new investments will be looked upon differently.
Happy 2011to all! I hope 2011 is a good year for all of us. Unfortunately, it has not started off to be a good year from a transportation funding point of view. Last year was a year marked by no increase in transportation funding, no new federal transportation funding bill, and no new budget – just a continuation of SAFETEA-LU and another continuing resolution. You would have to say that the long-term future of transportation funding is unknown. Well, now it is further unknown.
One of the first actions of the new Congress was to pass an amendment to the so-called House Rules pertaining to obligation limitations for highway and transit funding. The previous rule, in effect since 1998, said that annual spending limits for highways and transit could not be below the levels for that year as set forth in the relevant transportation authorization law. Any attempt by a member to reduce spending below those levels in the appropriations process would require approval by a supermajority vote, a very difficult hurdle.
The new action undoes this rule by allowing highway and transit funding to be treated as any other appropriations category and be subject to amendments to limit annual spending below the authorized levels. Such amendments, under the new rule, would require a simple majority vote only, making it much easier to reduce such spending.
All this does is insert additional uncertainty into an uncertain situation. It will be increasingly more difficult for transportation agencies and local units of government to be comfortable going forward with significant projects. Look for smaller, less costly projects to be advanced instead of larger multi-year projects – not as good for the economy or for addressing the major needs of our system. But even more important than this, can someone please tell me what our strategy is? What are we hoping to accomplish? What are our priorities? I don't see them and I don't think we have any – not sure where we are trying to go. This is not a good way to start the year!

Nobody's going to confuse this place with the Ritz, but it is super-convenient, the rooms are decent-sized, and there are enough food options at the hotel and in the airport.
"Easy walk to Bayside Marketplace"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
Picked this hotle before leaving on a cruise out of the Port of Miami. We thought it would be a good idea to get a rental car to avoid taxi fees but when we got to the hotel we learned it was a bad choice. The parking for the hotel was reasonable (it was the same as all the others around), except you had to pay the price EVERY TIME you took you car out of the lot. I was a the strangest thing I had ever heard of. So this hotel is good if you are just looking for a plave to stay the night before a cruise. However no shuttle service was offered (airport or to port). The location of the hotel saved it for me because we were maybe a 5 minute walk to the huge market place with food. the pool area was nice, only it was chilly when we stayed so we didnt spend much time there. As other reviews said, the rooms/carpets were moist but it wasnt a huge deal.
"Easy highway access, close to amenities"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 23, 2013
We enjoyed our stay. Room was spacious, had all we needed - fridge, microwave, coffee pot. Beds were comfy, pillows great! The only negative was that we were there on a sold-out weekend and there wasn't enough room for all guests in the breakfast room. There were quite a few fast food restaurants within walking distance along with a plaza that included a grocery and drug store.
"Quick overnight stay"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 23, 2013
I recently stayed at this hotel overnight in order to catch an international flight the next morning. The hotel is in a great location and convenient to the airport. The complementary shuttle service departed right on time. I have one complaint and one observation that may be useful. The only coffee in my room was decaf - a bit of a surprise when I got up very early for my international departure. The room was also noticeably noisy from all the jet traffic coming and going into MIA. I'm an easy sleeper so the noise didn't bother me. However, if you have problems sleeping with outside noise, you might want to take this into consideration when choosing this hotel. Other than the noise, the bed was very comfortable and I got a good night's sleep.

"Repeat Customers -- Another Great Stay"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 22, 2013
This was our second stay at the Mutinty and we were reminded again what a great place this is to stay. For us, traveling with small children, the Mutiny can't be beat with in-room washer dryer and a full kitchen with dishwasher. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The only downside to the Mutinty is the mandatory valet parking and outrageous daily fee. We would definitely stay here again though!

Comments about Rogue Pirate Adult Costume:
This is a really nice costume. The material is waaaayyyy better than most others. It has a lot of detail. It fits great in all areas and you can wear a bra with it. It runs big in my opinion. I am 5' 3" 135 lbs. I normally wear a medium but in this case needed a small. It was the best fitting pirate costume out of about 15 I tried on.
Comments about Rogue Pirate Adult Costume:
I bought this costume for Halloween in 2009 (as well as the hat, a sword, boot toppers with buckles and a small black drawstring bag with a skull and crossbones). I paid $75 for it at the time, but feel it was well worth the price. This costume is super comfortable and also sexy without looking trashy. I got second place in a costume contest as the "Captain Morgan girl". (My partner wore the men's Cutthroat Pirate costume) I have many costumes and this is one of my absolute favorites!
Comments about Rogue Pirate Adult Costume:
just enough coverage in the bust area. I will probably wear black leggins or add another layer of skirting under the costume as I feel like it is too short for me.

If you're out there looking for the best fancy pink diamond for your money, then please contact me and let me know your budget and what you're looking for. I'll sift through the available inventory online and send you a list of 4 or 5 suggested stones to choose from that fit your needs the best. Unlike the other sites, I'm not looking to sell you anything – my advice is objective and in your best interest. The service is free, and there is absolutely no commitment to buy any of my suggestions. You have nothing to lose!
The whole of the fancy color diamond market, perhaps with the exception of yellow ("Canary") diamonds, has until recently always been something of a small "insider's club." These ultra-rare gems were sold only in the most exclusive of fine jewelry stores and were the exclusive domain of very serious collectors who were extremely wealthy. The rest of us in the world had never heard of fancy color diamonds.
This, of course, has changed greatly in the past 20 or so years. Now, who doesn't know about natural fancy color diamonds? It's not uncommon these days to read about the greatest celebrities of the day wearing pink, blue, or yellow diamonds down the red carpet. Perhaps the most famous fancy color diamond to grace the pages of celebrity gossip magazines worldwide was the 6 carat monster fancy vivid pink diamond that Ben Affleck gave Jennifer Lopez when he proposed to her.
Pink Diamonds – Popular, Yet Expensive
Since that fateful day in 2002, Pink Diamonds have become increasingly popular. To make matters worse, the supply of natural fancy pink diamonds in the world is extremely low. In fact, almost all of the world's pink diamonds come from one mine in Western Australia. The famed Argyle mine also produces a large percentage of the world's brown (aka, "champagne" and "cognac") color diamonds. Before the discovery of this mine in the 1980′s, production of fancy pink diamonds had been scant at best. When Argyle went live, it quickly gained the reputation as the only reliable consistent source of high quality pinks in the world. Since Argyle had a virtual monopoly of the world's pink diamond market, they began to invest in marketing them and were responsible for driving demand even further.
As you might imagine, this combination of extreme popularity with extreme scarcity makes for some very pricy diamonds. Perhaps with the exception of red diamonds, high quality pinks are the most expensive natural diamond color in the market today. In fact, the most expensive diamond every sold at auction was a 5.00 carat cushion-shaped fancy vivid pink sold in a Hong Kong Christie's auction in December 2009. The diamond was sold for $10.8 million dollars and actually set two diamond records. This was the most expensive diamond per carat ever sold at auction, and it was the most expensive pink diamond ever sold.
Buying Pink Diamonds
Buying a pink diamond is a major decision that requires much thought and deliberation.
Perhaps the most critical issue that needs to be dealt with first is simply the matter of budget. Since pink diamonds absolutely explode in value as their size and color intensity grows, you'll need to enter into the process with a clear picture of what you intend to spend.
Secondly, you'll have to decide on what kind of color intensity you desire. This, along with carat weight, will have the greatest impact on the price of the diamond. Furthermore, with pink diamonds it makes a slight difference in price whether or not there are modifying colors in the color description (this is as opposed to Orange diamonds which drop in price dramatically if they have modifying colors). For example, a stone graded as "Purplish-Pink" will be worth slightly less than a stone graded as "Pink" with no modifiers. Take these sample stones from Leibish & Company Fancy Diamonds and James Allen as an example of these points:
1) http://www.fancydiamonds.net/view_diamonds/3727.htm – This stone is a 0.50 carat Fancy Light Pink pear shape diamond with SI1 clarity. It costs $4900. By contrast, a 0.50 carat D-Flawless white diamond costs approximately $3500.
2) http://www.fancydiamonds.net/view_diamonds/3724.htm – This stone is a 0.57 carat Fancy Pink pear shape diamond also with SI1 clarity. This stone costs $9200. As you can see, jumping from Fancy Light Pink to Fancy Pink just about doubles the stone's price. This is a perfect example, because the two diamonds are so similar in every other regard.
3) http://www.jamesallen.com/#!/loose-diamonds/fancy-color/pink/round-cut-0.51-carat-sku-155593 – This stone is a 0.51 carat Fancy Intense Pink Round cut diamond with what looks to be either I1 bordering on I2 clarity. The price for this stone is $51,830. This is where things start getting interesting with pink diamonds! The step from Fancy Pink to Fancy Intense Pink is a rather expensive one – especially considering we dropped from SI1 down to I2 in clarity!
4) http://www.jamesallen.com/#!/loose-diamonds/fancy-color/pink/radiant-cut-0.52-carat-sku-155645 - This stone is a 0.52 carat radiant cut with Fancy Vivid Pink color and (ungraded) I1 clarity. This stone costs $92,630. As you can see, the price jump between Intense and Vivid grades is quite severe. The price jump here is particularly intense because it is a certified Argyle stone. Argyle pinks have something of a brand value and are therefore more prized among collectors.
As I recommend in my general article about fancy color diamonds, from my research and experience, Leibish & Co Fancy Diamonds and James Allen are the best places (internet or otherwise) to buy pink diamonds and other fancy colors. Leibish is at the highest rung in the fancy color diamond supply chain and treat their regular customers (in terms of pricing) just like they treat their industry customers. And James Allen has an unparalleled inventory of Fancy Colors achieved through their numerous partnerships with top fancy color polishers around the world. And because they don't own their inventory, they're able to sell at very low profit margins.

The City of Sylvania is having its best year since the recession when it comes to business development.
City officials say 18 new businesses have opened their doors in Sylvania so far in 2013, more than the city saw in all of 2012. New businesses mean new jobs, and more income tax revenue for the city.
"Since 2009, the city has been increasing its income tax at a rate of over 3 percent per year. And, we're projecting by the end of 2013, since 2009, that's over a million dollars that our income tax has increased," said Sylvania Economic Development Director Bill Sanford.
Sanford says the city is projecting a 4 percent increase in 2013 thanks in part to new businesses.
Lilly Whiteston has brought in five new jobs, Interrupt Marketing added 20, and may be looking to expand. The Paul Mitchell School of Cosmetology has already created five new jobs, and could employ more than 30 within a year.
"We really found that this place here on Monroe Street is just a great location as far as busyness, the street you know - there's tons of businesses here and we just want to add to the community," said Paul Mitchell Director Lisa Tilton.
The city's Chamber of Commerce has also seen the benefits, adding several new members.
