Hrmmm... hold the Fed updates until Season 4.
Taste a little, see if you like it.
Some of your post is just uncalled for. Everyone knows that Klingon content has been lacking from the start and Cryptic has been working to resolve this issue. A lot of Klingon updates are coming in Season 4; that was already announced. And again, no, the Klingons don't have as many pre-existing variations as the Federation does; so that is a fair consideration. If you read my post you'll see that I explicitly stated that they could make new uniforms and that would be cool as well.

Trustee will oversee Colony settlement hearing
Date: July 23, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
U.S. Bankruptcy trustee William Maloney believes there is still a good chance the cash-strapped Colony Beach & Tennis Resort can be revitalized.
Maloney, who currently has total control over the resort at 1620 Gulf of Mexico Drive, told Tampa-based U.S. Bankruptcy Judge K. Rodney May in his initial report Thursday, July 22 that he will oversee a settlement conference between affected parties next week in Sarasota.
Noting that he has decided to keep the hotel open until further notice because "it's breaking even," Maloney told the judge he does not believe the resort's bankruptcy case should be converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation.
Maloney told the judge that he has identified 13 potential investors who all have expressed an interest in sponsoring a plan or restructuring of the resort. All of the investors, Maloney said, have presented Maloney with information on how their plans can be financed.
"There is a strong interest from many players," Maloney said. "I feel highly confident a deal could be made to put the Colony back together again."
A settlement conference will now take place next week with a representative of the association that has authority to make decisions, Colony owner Dr. Murray "Murf" Klauber, Colony President and General Manager Katie Moulton, Colony Lender representatives David Siegal and Randy Langley and every party's respective legal counsel.
For more information about the conference and the trustee's report, pick up a copy of the Thursday, July 29 Longboat Observer.

- What the writer fails to tell is that the Colony Hotel operation is closing on August 7th. On July 28th the Association of the Colony(the individual unit owners) by their Board will present their term's of settlement to the Trustee in Bankruptcy. Stay tuned for the truth and nothing but the truth on this very important development with no spin ADDED.

"Too much or not enough?"
"House slashes Bush e-gov fund"
"OMB to plug in budgeting step"
Lawmakers want agencies to make better business cases for their projects — and prove that they are well-managed—before granting them the funding they seek for next year.
Congress broke for its August recess leaving much work to be done on agencies' fiscal 2002 appropriations bills. Senate and House lawmakers will have to iron out their differences in conference, but committee members made it clear in reports that good management of information technology programs counts during the budget process.
Lawmakers are trying to support e-government initiatives, but are also sending signals that "money isn't a free good" and that requests must be justified, said Barry White, director for government performance projects at the Council for Excellence in Government. "It seems to be a very positive way of thinking about things," he said.
The Office of Management and Budget wants assurances that the $45 billion spent annually on IT is being put to good use, White said. "What you're seeing is a reaction to, and a reflection of, the growing intensity of the debate on the necessity for moving ahead with electronic government and focusing agencies' efforts."
Some examples include:
* The Senate Appropriations Committee has denied the $11 million request for the Federal Aviation Administration's Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS), which replaces computers and radar displays at terminal air traffic control facilities. This is because of "anticipated schedule slippages" and "the need to fund higher-priority activities." The panel requested a STARS status report to avoid jeopardizing future funding.
* The House Appropriations Committee recommended $100 million below current levels for the Justice Department's narrowband communications account, which includes the Justice Wireless Network. Panel members said they are concerned there is no operational plan for spending, and they want one by the beginning of October.
* The House committee said the FBI must continue to provide quarterly updates and funding obligations on Trilogy, its IT upgrade plan.
* The House committee will not provide the extra $35 million sought for Department of Housing and Urban Development IT programs without a comprehensive, multiyear budget plan. The committee wants a plan by Aug. 22, after which it will reconsider the request.
* Even though the Customs Service received support from Congress for its five-year modernization program, the House committee said it would release funding only after reviewing spending plans from the agency.
Appropriators are expressing concern over other well-funded programs. The Coast Guard's Integrated Deepwater Systems program received $300 million from the House and $325 million from the Senate—slightly below the $338 million request.
However, both the House and Senate appropriations panels would prohibit funds for the Deepwater contract until Transportation Department Secretary Norman Mineta and OMB Director Mitchell Daniels Jr. jointly certify that program funding for fiscal years 2003-2007 "is fully funded in the Coast Guard Capital Investment Plan and within OMB's budgetary projections for those years."
The Senate Appropriations Committee said in its report that it is "deeply concerned" about the cost and complexity of the Deepwater procurement. The cost could grow as high as $500 million "for fiscal 2003 and remain at that level for the next two decades," the report stated. Cmdr. Susan Woodruff in the Coast Guard's Office of Programs said she hoped the service could quell lawmaker concerns by providing them with more detailed briefings on the program and its acquisition strategy. And if Congress wants certification on Deepwater, "that's the route we're going to [take]," she said.
In another program, the House spending panel funded all but $1 million of President Bush's $20 million request for the National Archives and Records Administration's new electronic records archive. That project is designed to create a storage system so agencies' digital records can be read hundreds of years in the future.
House appropriators want a fiscal 2002 research plan from NARA; a plan to identify and periodically assess the electronic records in the archive; and a report by July 30, 2002, on the feasibility of other solutions based on existing commercial off-the-shelf products.
"I don't think it's unreasonable for Congress to ask for that, but I think that if there were COTS products available, NARA would be using them," said Patrice McDermott, information policy analyst at OMB Watch. The project is a complex one, she said, and NARA should be "looking past existing technology."
Meanwhile, other programs, such as the Commerce Department's Advanced Technology Program, are fighting for survival. Although the Senate Appropriations Committee would fully fund ATP at $204 million, the House said there's no proof showing "whether the program should exist in the first place" and discontinued funding for new grants. The House stance supports the Bush administration's position on ATP.
But Alan Balutis, executive director of the Federation of Government Information Processing Councils and former ATP director, is hopeful. "With support for ATP from the scientific and manufacturing community and the clear-cut endorsement of the National Academy of Sciences study, I think the funding will emerge at or near the level laid out in the Senate mark," he said.

11/11/2009 (5 years ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Your rejection of the Church´s teaching on abortion falls into a different category � it´s a deliberate and obstinate act of the will; a conscious decision that you´ve re-affirmed on many occasions.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
11/11/2009 (5 years ago)
Published in Politics & Policy
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Catholic Online) � Among those Catholics in public life who openly defy the clear teaching of the Catholic Church concerning the inviolable dignity of every human life from conception to natural death is Representative Patrick Kennedy. The son of the late Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy, he represents Rhode Island´s First Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. The Congressman was to have had a meeting with his Bishop Thomas J. Tobin concerning his very public defiance on this matter, but that meeting has now been postponed at Kennedy´s request.
We bring to our readers the full text of a letter which Congressman Kennedy received from his Bishop, Thomas J. Tobin. This letter was in response to Kennedy's public defiance against the truth revealed in the Natural Law, confirmed by science, affirmed in Scripture and the Tradition and taught infallibly by the Magisterium (teaching office) of the Catholic Church concerning the fundamental Human Right to Life. This matter recently surfaced when Kennedy publicly contended with the Church over the US Bishops´ heroic insistence that the proposed "Health Care Reform" which recently cleared the House not provide funding for abortion.
It passed only after the Pro-Life Amendment named after a Catholic Democrat, Bart Stupak, corrected the lethal nature of its impact on our youngest neighbors in the womb.(Editor's note:Sadly, the amendment never made it into the Senate Bill and the legislation passed without it) Kennedy and other Catholics such as Speaker Pelosi had simply lied when they said the legislation, prior to this essential Amendment, would not have had the effect of funding the killing of children in the womb with our tax dollars.
As Catholics called to stand in solidarity with all the poor, including those whom Mother Teresa called the "poorest of the poor", our youngest neighbors, we have had to contend with the lies of these Catholics for far too long. Patrick Kennedy is only one of too many. Kennedy told reporters on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 that he had postponed the meeting with his Bishop. He indicated he found it "very disconcerting" that Bishop Tobin will not keep the content of their discussion "private". This is, of course, one of the great subterfuges used by Catholics like Congressman Kennedy and others who openly defy the Church, cause scandal and confuse many in their perfidy.
What is different in this instance is the clear, courageous and commendable response of his Bishop, Thomas J. Tobin. He is using this as an opportunity to not only assist the Congressman by exposing his dangerous error and thereby assisting him to embrace the truth, but he is using it as an opportunity to stop this subterfuge before it continues to lead others astray. He published his letter to the Congressman in the "Rhode Island Catholic" in his regular column entitled "Without a Doubt" which can be found on the website of the "Rhode Island Catholic" at http://www.thericatholic.com/opinion/detail.html?sub_id=2632 (Editors Update: the Congressman has announced he will not seek reelection)
Dear Congressman Kennedy
Since our recent correspondence has been rather public, I hope you don´t mind if I share a few reflections about your practice of the faith in this public forum. I usually wouldn´t do that � that is speak about someone´s faith in a public setting � but in our well-documented exchange of letters about health care and abortion, it has emerged as an issue. I also share these words publicly with the thought that they might be instructive to other Catholics, including those in prominent positions of leadership.
For the moment I´d like to set aside the discussion of health care reform, as important and relevant as it is, and focus on one statement contained in your letter of October 29, 2009, in which you write, "The fact that I disagree with the hierarchy on some issues does not make me any less of a Catholic." That sentence certainly caught my attention and deserves a public response, lest it go unchallenged and lead others to believe it´s true. And it raises an important question: What does it mean to be a Catholic?
"The fact that I disagree with the hierarchy on some issues does not make me any less of a Catholic."
Well, in fact, Congressman, in a way it does. Although I wouldn´t choose those particular words, when someone rejects the teachings of the Church, especially on a grave matter, a life-and-death issue like abortion, it certainly does diminish their ecclesial communion, their unity with the Church. This principle is based on the Sacred Scripture and Tradition of the Church and is made more explicit in recent documents.
For example, the "Code of Canon Law" says, "Lay persons are bound by an obligation and possess the right to acquire a knowledge of Christian doctrine adapted to their capacity and condition so that they can live in accord with that doctrine." (Canon 229, #1)
The "Catechism of the Catholic Church" says this: "Mindful of Christ´s words to his apostles, ´He who hears you, hears me,´ the faithful receive with docility the teaching and directives that their pastors give them in different forms." (#87)
Or consider this statement of the Church: "It would be a mistake to confuse the proper autonomy exercised by Catholics in political life with the claim of a principle that prescinds from the moral and social teaching of the Church." (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, 2002)
There´s lots of canonical and theological verbiage there, Congressman, but what it means is that if you don´t accept the teachings of the Church your communion with the Church is flawed, or in your own words, makes you "less of a Catholic."
But let´s get down to a more practical question; let´s approach it this way: What does it mean, really, to be a Catholic? After all, being a Catholic has to mean something, right?
Well, in simple terms � and here I refer only to those more visible, structural elements of Church membership � being a Catholic means that you´re part of a faith community that possesses a clearly defined authority and doctrine, obligations and expectations. It means that you believe and accept the teachings of the Church, especially on essential matters of faith and morals; that you belong to a local Catholic community, a parish; that you attend Mass on Sundays and receive the sacraments regularly; that you support the Church, personally, publicly, spiritually and financially.
Congressman, I´m not sure whether or not you fulfill the basic requirements of being a Catholic, so let me ask: Do you accept the teachings of the Church on essential matters of faith and morals, including our stance on abortion? Do you belong to a local Catholic community, a parish? Do you attend Mass on Sundays and receive the sacraments regularly? Do you support the Church, personally, publicly, spiritually and financially?
In your letter you say that you "embrace your faith." Terrific. But if you don´t fulfill the basic requirements of membership, what is it exactly that makes you a Catholic? Your baptism as an infant? Your family ties? Your cultural heritage?
Your letter also says that your faith "acknowledges the existence of an imperfect humanity." Absolutely true. But in confronting your rejection of the Church´s teaching, we´re not dealing just with "an imperfect humanity" � as we do when we wrestle with sins such as anger, pride, greed, impurity or dishonesty. We all struggle with those things, and often fail.
Your rejection of the Church´s teaching on abortion falls into a different category � it´s a deliberate and obstinate act of the will; a conscious decision that you´ve re-affirmed on many occasions. Sorry, you can´t chalk it up to an "imperfect humanity." Your position is unacceptable to the Church and scandalous to many of our members. It absolutely diminishes your communion with the Church.
Congressman Kennedy, I write these words not to embarrass you or to judge the state of your conscience or soul. That´s ultimately between you and God. But your description of your relationship with the Church is now a matter of public record, and it needs to be challenged. I invite you, as your bishop and brother in Christ, to enter into a sincere process of discernment, conversion and repentance.
It´s not too late for you to repair your relationship with the Church, redeem your public image, and emerge as an authentic "profile in courage," especially by defending the sanctity of human life for all people, including unborn children. And if I can ever be of assistance as you travel the road of faith, I would be honored and happy to do so.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas J. Tobin, Bishop of Providence
We thank Bishop Thomas Tobin for his clarity, courage and the genuine pastoral concern shown toward Congressman Kennedy. We also thank the Bishop for his uncompromising defense of those whose lives are threatened by the continued rebellion of too many Catholics in public life who openly reject the truth,confusing many in the process and causing serious scandal.
We ask our readers to pray that Congressman Kennedy would prayerfully receive this loving and needed correction and then reschedule his meeting with this good Shepherd. We also ask our readers to increase their prayer for all of our Bishops as they continue to contend for the truth about life and pastor the flock of God entrusted to them.

Maybe you have just lost the job you love; you had a future; you had an income; status; you even had your initials painted on a parking spot. You were heading for the big time. Or maybe you have just suffered bereavement. It might be a loved one, a friend, or perhaps that favourite Iguana that once bit your thumb ŌĆō the one you even learned to love again after you came out of hospital having recovered from reptile bite sepsis. It could just be that your favourite sports team just got hammered against their most bitter rivals ŌĆō we all know how much that hurts. Whatever the reason you are desolate and forlorn, with a thousand yard stare that says ŌĆ£Somebody help me pleaseŌĆØ. Then along comes that someone. They see you doe-eyed and distant. They want to help. You look pathetic and they want to sound empathetic. So what do they say? ItŌĆÖs the dreaded ŌĆ£comforting wordsŌĆØ. WhatŌĆÖs the worst thing they could possibly say?
Well, according to a survey by UK Insurance Company AXA, there are some phrases we absolutely hate people to use in these sorts of circumstances. Top of the list of all time most hated comforting words is ŌĆ£Get a gripŌĆØ. I certainly would not find that comforting and if I did get a grip of anything it might just be the comforterŌĆÖs nose as I fell an overwhelming desire to pull it off. Apparently 68 percent of the five thousand people interviewed for the survey found this particular phrase to be the most annoying.
Coming in close at second and third were ŌĆ£Pull yourself togetherŌĆØ and ŌĆ£There thereŌĆØ with 66 and 64 per cent respectively.
A big surprise for me was the fourth most disliked phrase with 59 per cent which was ŌĆ£Pain is just weakness leaving the bodyŌĆØ. I am not surprised it was disliked so much, but I am amazed that anyone could be dumb enough to actually say it!
The rest of the top ten most hated comforting words were ŌĆ£Keep a stiff upper lipŌĆØ, ŌĆ£There are plenty more fish in the seaŌĆØ, ŌĆ£Pain is temporary, quitting lasts foreverŌĆØ, ŌĆ£Worse things happen at seaŌĆØ (do they??!!), ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs too badŌĆØ, and finally ŌĆ£Chin upŌĆØ.
So, what did the interviewees actually prefer for a verbal hug? Top of the surveyŌĆÖs most reassuring phrases was ŌĆ£One day we will laugh at thisŌĆØ. 49 per cent liked this one while 46 per cent liked ŌĆ£I really feel for youŌĆØ. Other popular phrases for reassurance were ŌĆ£When one door closes another door opensŌĆØ, ŌĆ£I know how you feelŌĆØ, ŌĆ£We live and learnŌĆØ, ŌĆ£Every cloud has a silver liningŌĆØ, ŌĆ£WhatŌĆÖs meant to be will beŌĆØ, ŌĆ£Time heals all woundsŌĆØ, ŌĆ£What doesnŌĆÖt kill us makes us strongerŌĆØ, and that old chestnut, hijacked so brilliantly by Monty Python ŌĆ£Always look on the bright side of lifeŌĆØ.
I donŌĆÖt know about you, but I reckon even some of the so-called reassuring phrases would have me squirming. Interestingly, the survey found that women were more affected by the chosen words than men but I was not at all surprised to find that about a quarter of British people did not know what to say at such times. There, there.

An Empty Trunk Sparks New Beginning
Pushed to the edge, Canadian couple finds unexpected change
Gordon Weynschenk opened the trunk of his Dodge sedan and peered inside.
He had forgotten the suitcases at home several hours away, and he feared his wife's temper. On the edge of divorce in 2005, he and Andrea had come to the marriage conference as a last resort.
Weathering a Decade of Storms
The Canadian couple had weathered a lot in their 10 years of marriage, including conflicts with Gordon's family, declaring bankruptcy after their restaurant failed and raising 2 kids.
Their relationship continued to deteriorate. Fights were common.
One night, Andrea stopped Gordon from leaving in the car, as they shouted at each other. Gordon punched the dash in frustration until his hands bled.
"It was really scary," says Gordon, now 38.
Remembering the Beginning
They realized they needed help, which is why they came to the 3-day Weekend to Remember a conference hosted by FamilyLife, a subsidiary of Campus Crusade for Christ.
But because of the missing suitcases, Gordon thought they would argue and leave. But uncharacteristically, Andrea laughed.
"Let's go shopping," she said.
That weekend, their resentments melted. They learned about trust and how to understand each other, especially through God's power. Most importantly, they remembered that they loved each other.
"It may sound sappy," says Gordon, "but when Andrea isn't there, I feel like a piece of me is missing."
Helping Others Do the Same
After the conference, their marriage continued to improve.
Last year, Gordon and Andrea attended their fourth conference, and they now serve as volunteers.
"You can always make your marriage stronger than it is," says Andrea, 43. "I love sharing our story, because we learned that there is hope."

Crystal Beach House Rental Photos and Description
3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, Sleeps 12
Leave your worries behind and set your destination to the heading of 'beach vacation' via The Boathouse. Set less than a mile south from the popular Destin Commons, just west of Hurricane Lanes family entertainment center, and two blocks north of the Gulf of Mexico– The Boathouse will point the way to all that Destin has to show her visitors.
This spacious, three-story Destin vacation rental offers a nautical escape with a charming sailboat and lighthouse décor in each room. It's a wonderful place to come home to after a fun-filled day at Big Kahuna's water park, playing golf at a nearby pristine course or sun bathing on the sugar-white sand down the street. Toss the ball around on the lush lawn in the backyard edged by a white picket fence then hop in the pool and fire up the grill for a family cookout. Talk about old times on the third floor balcony overlooking the colorful houses of Crystal Beach or create new memories by whipping up a new recipe in the fully- stocked kitchen.
Whatever you choose, The Boathouse will be the wind behind your sails on your next Destin adventure.

Guestbook comments from the manager
Two bedrooms downstairs are identical in size, with one bath between them and it was perfect. Plenty of seating space in living room, huge TV for big Ole Miss/Mississippi State game, wonderful master suite on second floor with tons of space, and great outdoor seating areas on all three floors. We could have easily slept 6 more people, and anyone with children will love the twin beds at the top of the second-floor stairs. The third-floor loft area is also great for kids or for someone who needs to work away from everyone else on their computer. And proximity to everything was about as perfect as you could get. We'll be back!

Content marketing and social media management for organisations that want to be noticed
Digital Strategy
Your business needs a return on its investment in social media, online marketing and digital communications. We create digital, social media and content strategies that take into account where you want to get to, how far you have to go, and what's available to get you there. And we'll show you how to measure your progress.
Content marketing
Success in social media is about having something to say. Our team of professional journalists will work with you to create relevant content that informs and entertains your audiences while influencing them in ways that will bring you a return on your investment.
A practical strategy that comes with a roadmap will get you farther than jargon and theory. And if you don't want to execute on a social media strategy or content marketing plan yourself, we're always happy to take away the hassle and use our expertise to put those plans into action for you.
The most important thing your customers will never say to you
Time and again we see clients who think they have a great website because there's something their clients have never told them. What is it?

Just enter your email in the box on the right. No spam, we promise.
We create content your customers will ask to receive
Publishing interesting articles through your own website, uploading videos to YouTube, making radio shows to be listened to on mobile phones… When it's content your customers want to receive because it educates, informs or entertains, it's more than marketing: it's content marketing and it works.
"You have to be your own journalist," says Amanda Buckley, General Manager Corporate Affairs and Media, Myer
You don't have to do all of it but doing some of it makes you less dependent on persuading a journalist to write about you. It also helps to persuade Google to send more searchers your way.
What is content marketing?
Content marketing is about attracting and retaining customers by consistently creating and curating content that interests, entertains and informs them. The ultimate goal is to use valuable content to guide the audience's behaviour in your favour. The key is understanding who your customers are, what they're interested in and how you can fit in the picture. When you've worked that out, your customers will be asking to hear from you.

A little about me...
I've done these things before. I really don't like to waste too much time filling in these things as I have found out no one really cares!!! Most people paint themselves as the perfect people anyway when we all know that is not the case! It's all a matter of physical attractiveness at first. I can tell you that I am not a "Christian", I despise them as MOST (but not all) are hypocritical. I am however very spiritual and believe we all live many lives and our spirits live on and reincarnate somewhere else in our heavenly universe. Those that think we are alone in this vast universe really can't think out of the box and live in very small worlds themselves.
About the one I'm looking for...
Those that know relationships are a daily give and take compromise and can really, really think out of the box please contact. Oh and please take care of your weight and health and be attractive. THANK YOU!!!
I'd just like to add...
It says that I have 12 messages in my inbox. I can guarantee you that maybe only one of them is legitimate. The other 11 are spam I'm sure. So I really don't want to pay $9.95/mo to read spam! If you are real and interested in knowing more about me you can get a hold of me gagnebob at hot (you fill in the rest)!

BBC News Web Link: BBC News - Microsoft offers web browser choice to IE users
While the news that a choice would be offered to users I was under the impression that it would be for Windows7 only. Also it seems to be going live a lot earlier than I had expected:
Millions of European Internet Explorer (IE) users will have the option to choose an alternative browser from 1 March, Microsoft has announced.
The software update choice will arrive automatically for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 customers, according to a blog post by Dave Heiner, Microsoft's vice president and deputy general counsel.

I was born on January 10th, 1988. Just about 14 months or so after the Mets won the World Series and to this date, the last one won by the team since then.
I became a Mets fan in 1999 and havent looked back, taking the good and the bad, hoping the team can finally win a world championship.
I have never seen one of my teams win a championship, ever. I dont count the 1994 Rangers, I was 6 years old and Hockey wasnt exactly on my mind and my concern back then.
I should probably blame my Dad since he could have introduced me to Hockey at that time, but like most Americans, couldnt care less then or now.
The Jets? well the last two years not withstanding, they havent really been too close, and the only team that hasnt reached a league title game since my birth. They probably wont make it this year either.
The Knicks made runs in 1994 (Didnt Watch, you know, blame Dad, blah blah blah) and in 1999 to the NBA Finals, didnt win either one, but I can remember a ton about that 1999 team, one of my favorites.
Then of course the Mets made the World Series in 2000, losing to the Yankees and outside of 2006, havent even made the playoffs, let alone come close to winning a championship since.
So what exactly does this has to do with the 1986 Mets and their World Championship? Its actually simple really.
I have no connection to that title, I wasnt around to see it and the fact the Mets have been close only once to a World Title since that point 25 years later is not exactly great in my opinion.
I cant stand the talk, the articles, the rememberances of the 1986 title because mostly…Im jealous.
Why should I not be, right? I mean its like the older Mets fan gets to have this wonderful memory to go back to, even during the dark times for the franchise.
I mean, I could go back to the Ventura Grand Slam, or the Endy catch, but the Mets lost those series and like 29 other teams in those years, didnt win the World Series.
The 1986 Mets are kinda like the inside joke that nobody wants to let you in on. The older Mets fan can talk about it and laugh, smile and think that "hey, at least they won a World Series in my lifetime".
But for people like myself, Mike Ganci, Sean Engel, other young writers on this blog and on other blogs, we dont get to share those memories and happyness with the older Met fan. We just get to hear the stories and wonder, what if?
So as the 25th anniversary of the 86 Mets winning the World Series comes and goes, I will sit here, with my other young Mets fans (27 and younger) and let the day go by, maybe here a story or two about that fateful time from the older Mets Fans who remember it and then go about my normal Mets fan life.
The one where arguments about why Ownership sucks, the fences should or shouldnt be moved in, if the General Manager is cheap and if Moneyball is a book of evil.
I find the 1986 Mets annoying because I want a title of my own, for the young Mets fans around the world who dont have a 1986 to go back to, to finally have their day in the sun.
Until then, we can just sit back, wait and hope. Because maybe, just maybe, our version of 1986 is just around the corner and we can all share in the glory of another world title and have the next generation be jealous of us.

Confession: I used to watch TV while I practiced
(Originally published at the Center for Arts Innovation)
Meditation, the way I've practiced it, is all about the breath. It's a simple yet confounding challenge of staying rooted in your own breath. In, out. Then a thought comes knocking, and you smile and let it in but say, "Listen, I'm hanging out with my breath right now." And then another thought comes in, insisting that it is even more important, and you nod but turn back to the breath. And that happens over and over, with you trying to stay graceful about it.
I realized that when I was practicing music, I had been doing the opposite of meditation. I used to have my laptop open on the end of the marimba, streaming television. To this day, I can't play Porgy and Bess without thinking of Season 1 of Grey's Anatomy. Sometimes Gchat was open simultaneously, pinging me with messages from friends. I won't deny it — it was fun. The hours passed much easier.
But when it came to taking the stage, my nerves were thundering. I had never been alone with the gravity of the music until that point and it would shake me. So as I started embracing the idea of meditation, I also embraced that it could be the perfect update to my practice.

I applied through other source. The process took a week – interviewed at Virginia Hospital Center.Interview Details
The hiring process was pretty efficient. Human resources was professional and appropriate. Right after applying online, I got a call within a few weeks. After the in person interview, I had to do a phone interview with a series of questions. They are pretty much yes or no responses (with some short answer), but it is kind of like a personality test to see if you would be appropriate for the job. A lot of the answers are common sense. Ex."What would you do if you saw an employee doing something wrong?" "How would you handle a disagreement with your supervisor?" etc.Negotiation DetailsIt was a set starting salary and I was very happy with it.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Virginia Hospital Center in February 2012.Interview Details
Online application resulted in telephone interview lasting 45 minutes
Selected to interview face to face with HR Recruitment and have professional references and photo ID. Interviewed with 2 recruiters and had a tour of the hospital, took over 2 hours. Both recruiters were warm, friendly, optimistic and appear to believe they work for the best organization.
After passing the face to face interviews with HR, I was scheduled for a Talent Plus telephone interview that lasted nearly 90 minutes asking questions to gauge if my personality would be suitable working at Virginia Hospital Center. Some of the questions were personal and I felt uncomfortable with the style of the telephone interview as well as some of the questions. The Talent Plus interviewer was very impersonal and fired off questions very quickly. Told the hospital recruiter would follow up within 48 hours, but they would never release the results of the Talent Plus interview to me or tell my why I was not considered for a position. Even if they hired me, they still do not share the Talent Plus interview results.
It's been weeks & no response from them. Has not checked references or background check.
The Virginia Hospital Center bases all hires on their personalities, not necessarily the persons skills, education, qualifications or experience. You are not permitted to meet with the hiring managers unless you pass the Talent Plus interview. Very frustrating to go through all the interviews and the personality tests and get no feedback at all. If you don't pass the Talent Plus test, you are barred from future employment at this hospital. All internal staff must go through the same process for advancement or transfers, if they don't pass the Talent Plus, they are never considered suitable for advancement.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Virginia Hospital Center in February 2012.Interview Details
I was initially very impressed with this hospital. The location was perfect for me and the staff appeared to really like working there. By the time the interview process was all said and done, however, I'm convinced all the staff there are robots.
I applied online. Before I even could type in my personal information, a screen popped up saying I had to agree to their by-laws or whatever, which seemed over the top but doable. So I submitted my application and was contacted by HR. A quick phone screening went well and I proceeded to the in person interview.
The entire in-person interview lasted 2.5 hours. I met with HR first where I handed over copies of all my credentials, my reference list, and consented for a background check. I then met with the department head for a few minutes and then went on to a peer interview. Both of these interviews didn't appear to be well planned. The department head only asked 2 questions before selecting me for the "talent plus interview" and moving me off to the peer interview. When I arrived at the peer interview, it was performed at the nurses station (rather than a private room) and the "peers" were often distracted because they had patients to watch during all of this as well, which in turn distracted me. When that was over I went to do the urine drug test and left.
When I got home I called to schedule the talent plus interview. Everybody was rather vague about it and I got the distinct sense they didn't want you to know anything about it. My interview was set up for a few days after the interview. It was a very odd, 45 min. long series of robotic questions asking if I'm a happy person, and situation type questions, like if I ever question authority etc. I answered honestly...No, I'm not always happy, and yes, I question authority depending on the situation. At the end of the interview I was told a decision would be made in about a week.
A week comes and goes and I hear nothing. I let a couple more days pass before calling HR to inquire, as I had another offer needing an answer. The HR person told me a decision had not been made and did not have a timeline on when one would. The next day I checked my mailbox and found an abrupt "thanks but no thanks" letter, that had, get this, been postmarked before I made the call to HR.
I now consider it a blessing in disguise that things didn't work out with this hospital. I could understand just receiving a letter if it was the initial stages of an application, but I clearly went through the entire process and spent almost 4 hours interviewing. I also can't understand why the HR girl would tell me my application was still under review when clearly a decision had already been dropped in the mail. I'm convinced the only thing this hospital cares about is hiring people who are willing to sugarcoat everything that comes out of their mouth. I consider myself to be a good nurse; I have been told by my coworkers that I am a great nurse, I've never had any disciplinary actions and I always make sure I provide quality care. My background was never checked and my 3 good references were never even phoned. The sole qualifier here is how well you are able to BS the talent plus interview, because that is all they are looking for: someone who can BS.Interview Questions
