Reissued as a Classic Board Book,
No Two Alike
follows two little red birds as they explore their winter environment. As the two do so, they discover that although there are a lot of similar things, none of these things (snowflakes, birdhouses, roads, trees) are exactly alike. The rhymed text underscores the idea of individuality but, at the same time, also shows that—like the birds—some creatures
share common characteristics.

Mystery User Accounts
At least they were mysterious to me. I have a disk that I do all downloads too. On that disk I found some (four) files that were named like s-1-etc. etc. A Long file name. I checked the properties and decided they were not needed. Deleted same. Later I was checking some files on the same disk and discovered in the security panel I had two "unknown user account" which had matching numbers to the files I had deleted.
I started using the msc files that handle accounts and these unknown accounts didn't show up any where. The disk I previously mentioned was the only disk that showed these accounts in the list of user accounts. Other disks did not show them. I did a malware/virus scan with MS security essentials and it came up with nothing. I removed the two accounts from the list and now everything appears ok. Is there an explanation for this?

Concerns about Turkey's allegiance to Western values and allies began to simmer when the mostly Muslim population of this secular state elected an Islamic party, the Justice and Development Party, or AKP, to power in 2002. Turkey's refusal to let the US use a military base in Turkey to invade Iraq in 2003 strained ties with Washington.
Still, Erdogan pushed economic reform that led to significant growth. And he continued with other reforms that eventually allowed Turkey to enter formal negotiations to join the European Union.
Meanwhile, Turkey's regional outreach has yielded so many results that they stand out like minarets in Istanbul. In recent years, Ankara has seriously improved relations with Greece, Syria, Iraq, Russia, Bulgaria, and the latest – Armenia – with which it shares a century-old dispute. Turkey has also acted as negotiator between Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as with Israel and Syria.
But worries abound that Turkey is now shifting too far away from Europe and to Muslim despots specifically. After the disputed Iranian election in June, Erdogan and the Turkish president were among the first foreign leaders to call with congratulations for Mr. Ahmadinejad.
Earlier this month Turkey disinvited Israel from a joint NATO exercise that it has participated in for years. Israel is a "persecutor," Erdogan explained. The next day it invited Syria to joint military exercises.
During the cold war, Turkey viewed Israel as a democratic ally in a hostile region. Indeed, a country such as Iran saw Turkey as a sell-out to the West. Syria supported terrorist separatists who wanted to carve out part of Turkey for their own.

Advice from someone who hires - page 5
First, you probably read books about putting a resume together, or even hired someone to polish yours. Those are good steps, but to set yourself apart from the masses, you need to do more. Before you even start writing your... Read More
- 0Apr 26, '12 by SE_BSN_RNQuote from Patti_RNOK Patti, another question for you. I applied for a position in Novemeber and they hired someone else. Now the position is open again, and I would really like the job. I re-submitted my resume and cover letter. Is it appropriate to call the hiring person and tell her I interviewed a few months back and would like to re-interview? Or, what can I say to let them know I am interested in the job.....and would like a chance to show it?It's not acceptable for a manager to promise an applicant an update when a decision has been made, then fails to follow through; I'm not excusing this. But, I've read comments here and on other threads from applicants who are dissatisifed because the hiring manager didn't contact them afterward, or the director accepted a phone call in the midst of an interview, or the manager didn't spend enough time with them. There are some reasons this could happen, other than the interviewer being rude.
Just like nurses who are blamed for not sitting at a patient's bedside and chatting with them, managers have many other things to do, as well. It's a condition of the competitive nature of business. Employees of all levels are expected to be busy and productive beyond anything that was expected a decade ago. People work through lunch, come in early, send work related emails from home on weekends and evenings and even take calls when they are on vacation. Employees (particularly managers) have a mountain of responsbilities to deal with each day and every moment is precious. So, taking a phone call during an interview may seem rude to the interviewee, but not taking a call as it comes in might cost the manager ten times that amount of time to listen to a message later, return the call, have the other person not answer, leave a message... phone tag can go on endlessly. Yes, it may seem rude, but it's a matter of job survival--or she may have been waiting for that call for days.
The point I'm trying to make is not to get annoyed if your interviewer is late, takes a call during your interview, or doesn't let you know that you weren't hired. When you get your first nursing job you'll understand that there are some days (or weeks, or longer) when you don't have time for anything but the most urgent parts of your job-- like when there is a code and all your other duties have to wait.
- 0Apr 26, '12 by Patti_RNYes, by all means reapply and express your eagerness. I'd even say (diplomatically and professionally) that you were disappointed not to have been selected, but you hope to interview again. This is where longevity in your past employment history will be a particular bonus. This manager just got burned; she hired and trained a person who cost them six months and thousands and thousands of dollars. She is now looking to replace that employee and the last thing she wants is to have another person 'not work out'. (I hope you have at LEAST a year or two with your current and most of your previous employers!) If so, highlight that in your cover letter. Mention that, "after three years in the cath lab at Washington Hospital, I am eager for a greater challenge..." When a person has a bad experience, often the first thing they want to avoid is a rerun of that episode! Good luck!
- 0Apr 26, '12 by SE_BSN_RNQuote from Patti_RNThanks Patti! I have 6 almost 7 years experience and they want at least 2. I just left a VM.Yes, by all means reapply and express your eagerness. I'd even say (diplomatically and professionally) that you were disappointed not to have been selected, but you hope to interview again. This is where longevity in your past employment history will be a particular bonus. This manager just got burned; she hired and trained a person who cost them six months and thousands and thousands of dollars.

When a person has a bad experience, often the first thing they want to avoid is a rerun of that episode! Good luck!
I am just concerned about the staff turnover rate in these positions. Seems like every 6 months there's a new posting for the same thing. When I look for a job, I want a job where I can stay, not have to move around every few months. And I absolutely want a new challenge. I interviewed with my old DON about MDS and she said "Why do you want to do that, its boring?" Uhhh, because I want to learn more, other than passing pills on the floor for as long as I have. (I didn't say that, I was thinking it!) Needless to say, I didn't get the position, and now the MDS person has left already. I don't undertand it, but then again, I only have experience as a floor nurse and a bit of staff development. I think the reason they didn't give it to me is because they wanted me on the floor because I m dependable and mage my time well! I wish they would just have told me that, instead. The administrator made the comment to me that "When you get your RN you will be a valuable asset to the company." Really? So why not let me do what I want to do? My LPN holds me back and my experience does, too, in a way, and it is frustrating.
- 0May 2, '12 by Kim KardashiI love this thread so much that I kept reading it again and again.
I have a question for Patti, I'm a 2010 graduate but took the NCLEX-RN last year I have no experience in my resume thus making it impossible for me to be hired. I'm not picky with the type of work nor time I apply to but never seldom gets a response to the jobs I applied to. Is there any tips you can share? I have a problem of being shy at time thus making it more difficult for me to speak in English since it is not my first language.
- 0May 2, '12 by stephanie2012thanks for sharing.
that's really great help.
Quote from Patti_RNFirst, you probably read books about putting a resume together, or even hired someone to polish yours. Those are good steps, but to set yourself apart from the masses, you need to do more. Before you even start writing your resume, talk to your friends, classmates, professors and employers. Ask them what they perceive your strengths to be. Take inventory of ALL your skills and accomplishments. Women in particular have a hard time promoting themselves. Don't be shy. Start an informal list of your achievements. If you won awards, jot that down; if your GPA was high, put a little check mark beside that, did you spend time supervising others? Think hard... this doesn't have to be a job title, just a job responsibility. Compile your resume in the way that best suits your skills. If you're a young new grad without work experience find a resume template that highlights your academic history; ditto for someone with vast work experience.
While you're talking to those professors and employers, ask their permission to use them as a reference. Get their preferred contact information. Don't limit yourself to a few people because you don't want to ask the same people for letters over, and over. (It's flattering to be asked, but time consuming to actually write letters for people. Have a number of references you can rotate through as needed.) And, of course, don't have them contacted by prospective employers until the end of the hiring process.
Now, decide what kind of job you want. There are thousands of people out there who apply for every job they find. You may feel anxious, but casting your net too far and wide won't bring many calls for interviews. There is a reason for this, which I'll explain later. Be realistic in your expectations. You probably have a sense for what jobs are most desirable and where competition is intense (Labor & Delivery, peds, etc.) If this is your goal, it'll be even harder to land your dream job. Not to say those jobs are impossible to find as a new grad, but there are many others applying for them. If your ultimate goal is a job with lots of competition, find another way in: if you want to work in a NICU, maybe start at a Children's Hospital working with more difficult patients. Once you figure out where you want to be, concentrate your efforts to those jobs. Write your resume with that in mind. Using the peds example, focus your resume on your experience with kids; your peds rotation, and any other experience you have that shows you're interested in children.
Now, scour the ads, but don't limit yourself to posted or advertised jobs. Talk to everyone you know, tell them what you're looking for and ask if they have any leads. When you do hear of a possibility, focus on that one job as you write your cover letter. Talk about why you fit into THAT organization, talk about their mission, their organizational structure and why you want to work THERE. (You can find organization's mission statements on their websites and learn other details about them, too.) So, your letter reads something like, "I share Washington Hospital's committment to serving the underserved memebers of the community..." Then talk briefly about your volunteer experience giving flu shots to uninsured patients through your church's medical efforts. You want to make sure you set yourself apart from the other applicants. Your cover letter should be less than one page of easy to read text (no tiny font!)
Making your application specific to an employer or organization is time consuming, but it pays off. This is why you want to be specific in your job hunting efforts. When people tell me they sent out 2000 applications, I know that virtually all of them were read briefly and put in the 'big pile'. You're better off sending 20 specific applications than 2000 general ones.
After you send your resume and cover letter, follow up with another letter expressing continued interest. You may even make one phone call to check in. If you hear nothing after three months, send another resume and a new cover letter (can be basically the same, just tweak it to say you're still intersted in working for them). Tell them you're available for an interview and be upbeat, professionally enthusiastic and pleasant.
Speaking of professional, please do NOT include emoticons, or write your cover letter on pink stationary (honest, I've seen this!) When someone is looking through a pile of resumes (whether electronic or hard copy), the first ones cut are those with such glaring unprofessional appearances, or terrible spelling or grammar.
And, if you're lucky enough to be invited for an interview, wear something professional. A suit is better than slacks and a blouse, but do not show up in jeans! Even though it may be perfectly acceptable to wear jeans to class, to restaurants, etc., it is NOT OK to wear jeans to a job interview. If you have to borrow something or even buy a suit at Goodwill, it would be a great idea... trust me! The person interviewing you will notice what you're wearing.
When you get home from the interview, write a thank you note to the person who you spoke with (or several notes if you were interviewed by several people). Thank them for their time, express your strong desire to work there, and express that you look forward to their decision and "if there is anything else I can do..." If you don't hear something in a week, email or phone them and politely ask if they have made a decision and that you're very anxious to be part of their team.
Yes, writing multiple, specific letters is time consuming, but there is a pay-off. Think of it like this: would you rather get a generic birthday card from someone with a stamped signature? or open a card that you know was chosen just for you and had a handwritten note inside saying what a great friend you are?
Best of luck to all!
- 0May 15, '12 by Aongroup1990Wow, Ms. Patty RN. That is a great article, and very helpful tips. I would've never thought of that at all. I learn so much just by reading and networking. Your wisdom is very appreciated. How should we write an interest letter, and a thank you letter to the employer for the job we are seeking?
- 5May 20, '12 by AmylynetteBSNExcellent post!
As an employer and manager, I look for any signs that an employee may not work out, prior to hiring them. My methods save me time and money in the long-run. I look for the same things Patti_RN mentioned, and a few more. First, if you have a Facebook page, I will be looking for it. If it is not set up as a private account then I will assume that you want me to see everything on your account including embarrassing photos, terrible spelling and grammar, family and friends, etc... I can learn a lot about an employee in a very short time by checking their non-private Facebook account and I tend to look before I ever make a phone call for an interview. My suggestion is, no matter how perfect your life appears to be (to you) on Facebook, it would be in your best interest to make sure that prospective employers can not view it. Judgements will be made, and you may not like them.
If you use ring-back tones on your phone and this is the contact number you have given to prospective employers, it would be wise to shut it off while looking for a job. If I am making a phone call to schedule an interview and I am greeted by a loud, obnoxious rap song, I will hang up and not call back. Additionally, please remember to answer the phone professionally when you have applied for a job. I have made several calls in the past and been greeted by a "What's up?" or "Who's this?" before a proper "Hello" and I have responded with "I am sorry, I must have the wrong number". While seeking a job it is best to be as professional as possible, including on your cell phone, and your internet life. These are the new realities in a world of advanced technology. Good luck with your job search ~ Remember: Professionalism is key!Last edit by AmylynetteBSN on May 20, '12 : Reason: formatting

WWE Network stress testing this week leading in to WrestleMania 30
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment, Internet
The WWE Network, announced at CES 2014, went live on February 24th--and it crashed hard. The company has had about 5 weeks to fix all the issues (and not all have been fixed as of press time,) and stress test the MLBAM servers in anticipation of what many believe to be the "make or break" event for the unique live streaming service that's paired with a vast on-demand content vault.
On April 6th, WWE presents WrestleMania XXX, which will be the very first live pay-per-view event that is broadcast on the WWE Network. It just so happens to also be the biggest event of the year for pro wrestling, as WrestleMania is seen as the Super Bowl of wrestling. The company has been broadcasting live programming several times per week in order to get a handle on load, but WrestleMania is a beast all its own. To prepare, the WWE Network will be doing daily live shows this week, along with a two-hour pre-show before WrestleMania begins. We've got the full schedule of special events that'll air on the WWE Network this week, below.

Bleeding Edge TV 502: WWE Network on Apple TV review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, Home Entertainment, PC / Laptop, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos
Since a lot of people were curious about if the WWE Network would be available on Apple TV, and how it would look compared to the other platforms out there, I went ahead and put together this video walkthrough and review. There are a bunch of pros to using an Apple TV for the Network, but one caveat that can be seen as a con.
In this video I cover:
- How to subscribe to the WWE Network on Apple TV and skip the signup issues plaguing other devices
- How to link your Apple TV purchase to your WWE.com account so you can access the Network everywhere
- How to link your Apple TV purchase to other Apple TVs
- How to use AirPlay to send WWE Network content from your iOS device to an Apple TV wirelessly
I also give an interface tour and my overall thoughts on how the WWE Network looks and feels on Apple's set-top box. I'll be doing more videos focusing on other devices as well, so if there's one you'd like me to focus on, feel free to contact me on Facebook or Twitter and let me know. Keep an eye on our YouTube channel (you can subscribe here!) to see the new stuff as it drops.
If you like what you see from the Apple TV, you can pick one up here from Apple.

Skip WWE Network signup issues with Apple TV
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Home Entertainment
This morning, the long-awaited WWE Network launched, bringing with it 24/7 live programming alongside an extensive content library from WWE. As is to be expected with any new, big content offering, there are some hiccups due to the rush of demand that the servers are having to deal with. Users are having a hard time getting signed up since the MLBAM (the company hosting the WWE Network content) service has been slammed.
However, there's a simple workaround that'll let you bypass the whole mess for users who own an Apple TV. As with Netflix and Hulu Plus, Apple offers direct subscription access to the WWE Network through iTunes. This means that you are dealing with Apple servers rather than the ones the WWE is using, and therefore, you can sign right up with no problem and start watching immediately.

WWE Network channel comes to Apple TV on February 24
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Home Entertainment
We've gotten tons of questions about the WWE Network launching on Apple TV, with no real concrete answer on a date. Well, a WWE rep has confirmed that the network will launch on Apple TV on February 24th, alongside most other platforms. In the quote, the WWE representative states:
"In order to experience WWE Network on an Apple TV, you must have a second generation or later (black) Apple TV and be a WWE Network subscriber. Once WWE Network is available, you will be able to launch the WWE Netowrk app directly from your Apple TV. Let us know if you have further questions! Thank you."
Announced at CES 2014, WWE Network will provide 24/7 live-streaming original programming alongside a vault of on-demand content that viewers can watch, all for $9.99 per month, which includes all twelve annual live pay-er-view events--yes, even WrestleMania. Apple has been regularly releasing new channels on the Apple TV with no advance notice, and they appear on your device without you have to go find them and download them. You should be able to plug in your WWE Network credentials on the Apple TV starting at 9am EST on February 24th, when the service goes live.

During CES, WWE announced the ambitious WWE Network project, a service that will see live 24/7 programming paired with a vast on-demand content library for $9.99 in what's considered a first-of-its-kind over-the-top service. WWE Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer, Michelle Wilson, announced the vast number of hardware partners and devices that will be able to access the Network when it launches on February 24th, and they included iOS devices, Android devices, Roku, Kindle Fire tablets, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Playstation 4. Later this summer Xbox One and Smart TV platforms get added to the list.
This left many wondering if the Apple TV would support the new venture. As I had noted previously here, as well as in an audio hotline on PWInsider, if you own an iOS device or Mac, you'll be able to AirPlay WWE Network content directly to the Apple TV. This is how the UFC Fight Pass supports Apple's set-top box. However, it seems that the WWE Network will, in fact, get a dedicated Apple TV channel.

Bleeding Edge TV 489: Fiesta Movement Pro Wrestling 101
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Podcasts, Transportation, Videocasts, Videos
Okay, if you don't know, I used to be a pro wrestler. That's right, I'd put my tights on every week, step through the curtain, and enter a 20 x 20 wrestling ring to entertain a crowd of people, and I loved it. That was a long time ago, and now I bring you the hottest news in the consumer electronics world, as you know.
However, now that I am a Ford #FiestaMovement agent, you should expect to see something a bit more unique here on my channel each month. I'll be doing some pretty unique missions as part of the Fiesta Movement, using the Fiesta ST that was given to me for the duration of the Movement to bring you some cool stuff. This month? I'm bringing you into the world of professional wrestling as part of the June #Fitness theme.
Why pro wrestling? Well, I didn't want another agent to grab this mission and turn it into a comedy act! I saw this as an opportunity to educate the masses about this truly unique artform. I head to the Buddy Wayne pro wrestling training facility to chat about what it takes to become a professional wrestler. Buddy should know. After all, at just 5' 6", he has made a career in the land of the giants, having wrestling for both WWE (formerly WWF or the World Wrestling Federation) and WCW (World Championship Wrestling.) In wrestling, you only look as good as your opponent allows you to look, and Buddy was able to make his opponents look great for 12 years.

Pre-order WWE 2K14 and get the Ultimate Warrior
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fighting, PlayStation 3, Special Editions, Sports, Take2, Xbox 360
Now that Take 2 has taken over the WWE videogame license, WWE 2K14 is being loaded up with the power of The Ultimate Warrior. Nothing like celebrating by bringing back an icon, and with the addition of a character as iconic as The Ultimate Warrior for those who pre-order the title, it may spur more than a few additional sales. The announcement was made official by way of a YouTube video, which you can find below, featuring the Warrior in his signature face paint and garb, cutting a classic Warrior-style promo. Here's what he had to say about his inclusion in the game:
Immortality is inspiration, pure and simple. An example to others that they, too, can do things larger than the life they are actually living, and Ultimate Warrior was the pure embodiment of this belief, in what has proven to be a very attention-getting and inspiring way, said Warrior. It was my good fortune to be his creator and performer, and I am humbled by all those fans who've not only kept his legacy alive, but deepened it over time. In 'WWE 2K14,' Ultimate Warrior's creed, 'Always Believe,' lives on.
Chris Snyder, senior director of marketing for WWE2K14 explained why the decision was made this year to make The Ultimate Warrior one of the main attractions this year:
There has never been another WWE Superstar quite like the Ultimate Warrior – his intensity and energy is unmatched, and his legacy is undeniable, said Chris Snyder, Senior Director of Marketing at 2K. Fans love him, opponents fear him and everyone can agree that he's one of the most iconic Legends in WWE history. Pre-ordering 'WWE 2K14' is the only way we mere mortals will ever have a glimpse into the greatness that is Ultimate Warrior.
The Ultimate Warrior is available exclusively to those who pre-order the game, which you can do right here on Amazon. Again, check out the trailer after the break!

How Zack Ryder used social media to catapult to WWE Superstardom [Interview]
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Internet, Videos
WWE makes it's return to Everett for the first time in a number of years this evening. For those who don't know, you guys are typically in and out when it comes to a city. Aside from Wrestlemania week, do you get to enjoy your time in a given city?
Not at all. We fly in, find a gym, eat, and head to the arena. We do the show, and we leave to do it again. I've definitely seen some cool airports, hotels, arenas, but we don't get to enjoy our time in the various cities.
What would you say would be the best trip you've taken when you've been on the road?
WrestleMania in Orland was amazing. I went to DisneyLand with my family and had a lot of fun. WrestleMania means we get to spend a full week in one location, so we can enjoy it since it's a break from the in and out that we typically experience on the road.
Let's take a step back. I think it's safe to say that the reason we are having this discussion right now is because you took it upon yourself to get noticed in any way that you could, grabbing that brass ring through the use of social media. Wanna tell us about that?
Yeah, definitely! My whole life I wanted to be a WWE Superstar. That's the only thing I ever wanted to be. I got signed in 2006 and got called up to the main roster in 2007…but I wasn't really doing anything, you know? By February 2011, I was kind of fed up. It wasn't my dream to be just "some guy" on the show. I wanted to be one of the top guys. At the time in February 2011, when I started the YouTube show, I didn't have an action figure. I didn't have a promotional 8x10. I wasn't on TV. I was like a joke. I had no merchandise…nothing.

Tennessee Legislature Takes Another Pass On A New Travel Tax
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Travel Tech: The Travel Technology Association applauds the wisdom of the Tennessee Senate State and Local Government Committee for voting "no" on Senate Bill 212, which would have created new taxes on brick-and-mortar and online travel services. Online travel companies (OTCs), Tennessee travel agents, anti-tax organizations, independent Tennessee hoteliers, business travelers, internet coalitions and other groups were among those who raised concerns about the impact of the proposal.
Tennessee joins a number of other states in the last two years, including Florida, Virginia, Utah, Oregon, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Mexico that have considered and rejected similar taxes as unworkable and harmful to tourism and job creation. This marks the second consecutive year that the Tennessee Senate has recognized these taxes as bad policy for Tennessee. A federal court in Goodlettsville, TN, also sided with the OTCs in 2012, holding they were already in compliance with Tennessee tax law.
"We hope the bill supporters in Tennessee now recognize that they were led astray by interest groups looking to use public policy as a competitive tactic to impose new taxes on traditional travel agents and OTCs alike," said Simon Gros, Chairman of Travel Tech. "OTCs and traditional travel agents are in the business of encouraging travel to places like Tennessee, which creates real jobs and real tax revenue."
The bills would have also imposed major compliance burdens for local businesses in Tennessee. Any Tennessee-based travel agent who used the fee-for-service merchant model for bookings and assembling travel packages would have had to take on the unprecedented responsibility of calculating and remitting the tax owed in multiple taxing jurisdictions. These added compliance costs would have placed particular strain on traditional brick-and-mortar travel agents, who already operate in a business climate marked by extremely low margins.

UW-Milwaukee names interim chancellor
Updated On: Apr 22 2014 06:11:44 PM CDT
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee named an interim chancellor Tuesday.
Mark Mone will take over next month as the school's temporary leader.
Mone will replace current Chancellor Michael Lovell, who is leaving to become the new president of Marquette University.
Lovell's last day is May 31.
Mone is a professor of management in UW-Milwaukee's Lubar School of Business and for the last two years has served on the chancellor's Board for Strategic Planning.
"This is no time to take our foot off the gas pedal. In fact, if we let off at all, we will fall behind. We will not be able to stay in the all-competitive race that we have today on research, on our student success, on a number of different fronts," Mone said.
UW-Milwaukee hopes to have a new chancellor in place by the first of the year.

Police Inspector: Doctors... Lawyers... never get past 60 thousand rupees. He's won 10 million. What can a slumdog possibly know?A 2008 film directed by Danny Boyle based on the novel Q and A by Vikas Swarup.Jamal Malik is on the verge of winning 20 million rupees on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. There's just one problem: he's a "slumdog," working at a minimum wage job, and nobody can see how he knew any of the answers. As they go through each question, he shows how events in his childhood and life contributed to his knowing almost every single one.Please note, that apart from the dance number at the end, this is not a Bollywood film. It's a Western movie made in Mumbai. It does, however, have several references to Indian culture and Bollywood movies—including songs that have been used in other movies, a credits sequence made to look like old-fashioned movie posters and a reference to legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan (not to mention using two well-known Bollywood actors in the film).Even though critically acclaimed internationally, over the next few years the movie attained widespread Hatedom and Snark Bait status in India, with numerous Take Thats from other Indian movies; mostly because Danny Boyle managed to hit just about every single Bollywood cliche in it, while turning the "Violent Mumbai" stereotype Up to Eleven to create the film's dark and cynical atmosphere. It didn't help that the word "Slumdog" became a kind of euphemism for not just Indians but South Asians in general, (Community, anyone?) never mind the fact that it's an insult, even to people who live in slums.
Jamal Malik: [quietly] The answers.
This film has examples of the following tropes:

Computer Science is not a LOTE
Here is your chance to take action!
If you are concerned about the impact of HB 5 on your language program, now is the time to act! The State Board of Education will be reviewing the current ruling in terms of computer programming courses and their appropriateness in counting toward Languages Other Than English credit. Without any action from us, computer science may continue to count for the foreign language credits required for graduation beyond the 2015-2016 academic year.
The Texas 84th legislative session has a deadline of November 10, 2014 for pre-filing bills and Texas senators and representatives will convene on January 13, 2015. As a result, kindly take action and submit your letter by the priority deadline of November 7, 2014. After this date, you may still submit your letter through early January prior to the convening date.
Thanks to ACTFL who released an Action Alert on behalf of TFLA to galvanize support from members to speak up against the 83rd Legislation House Bill 5 ruling that allows Computer Science I, II and III to count toward the graduation requirement under the Foundation High School Plan. Use the link below to directly access ACTFL's Action Alert and submit your letter to show support for a reversal of this decision. When you enter your information, you will be asked for your address. Based on the address, the Action Alert will send it automatically to your senator and representative.
Please note that the statement in the letter template addressing "…, we are now equally concerned about the clause allowing any core subject to substitute for the second year of language study" refers uniquely to the special education population. Feel free to remove this sentence from your letter as we should keep the primary focus on the computer science matter.
Call-to-Action Link
With all the research showing the benefits of language study, such as the improved SAT scores of students studying a second language, and the delay of the onset of Alzheimer's disease among those who learn a second language, we should be increasing the requirements for second language study, instead of decreasing them.
TFLA thanks you for your membership, support and ongoing advocacy!
ACTFL Conference Certificate of Attendance
Please contact ACTFL for your certificate. TFLA can not issue ACTFL conference certificate.
What are people saying about our fall conference?
"1st time attending TFLA Conference – I enjoyed it so much I feel more prepared and thank you so much for creating these conferences. It's difficult to find LOTE seminars/workshops in my region. Thank you so much!"
"TFLA 2012 was remarkable! I really enjoyed it and I have learned so much from this conference, I highly recommend it."

Morgan Stanley (MS:US) cut its forecasts for the Australian, Canadian and New Zealand dollars, citing what it called an increasingly challenging global economic environment for the commodity-exporting countries.
The Aussie will depreciate to 95 U.S. cents by year-end, compared with the previous projection of 99 cents, New York- based Morgan Stanley said in a note today. New Zealand's dollar will finish the year at 75 U.S. cents, compared with the earlier forecast of 80 cents. The Canadian dollar will weaken to C$1.06 against its U.S. counterpart, versus the previous forecast of C$1.03, the firm said.
Weakening global growth indicators are affecting commodity currencies, according to the note from Ian Stannard, head of European currency strategy at the firm in London. Purchasing- manager indexes for manufacturing in many Group of 10 nations have dropped below their lows of late last year, he wrote, and central banks are being more cautious.
"Declining growth indicators and a muted policy response are likely to leave the high-beta currencies in a vulnerable position," the Morgan Stanley strategist wrote. Beta measures risk relative to a market.
The Australian currency traded today at $1.0286 in New York, while New Zealand's dollar was at 80.48 U.S. cents and the Canadian dollar at C$1.0131 to the greenback.
The European Central Bank will cut its benchmark interest rate a quarter-percentage point to 0.75 percent at its meeting on July 5, according to economists in a Bloomberg News survey.
"The central-bank meeting isn't going to be enough to lift global risk appetite," Stannard said in a telephone interview. "We're going to get monetary easing that is aimed more at responding to a more traditional growth slowdown rather than trying to boost risk appetite."

Seth Godin is trying out a new marketing idea for his next book, Poke the Box. This is the title that he's publishing in partnership with Amazon as part of his new imprint, The Domino Project.
He's trying to get people to sign up for the free online newsletter. He's promised that for every 5,000 newsletter subscribers, he'll lower the pre-order price of the Kindle edition of Poke the Box. Right now the price is $7.99, which is 2 bucks less than the starting price. (According to the little tracker on his site, he's about to hit 15,000 subscribers so the price will soon go down to $6.99.)
He's betting that a high enough percentage of the newsletter subscribers will decide to pre-order the ebook to make up for the discount. He's also promised that if 45,000 people sign up for the newsletter, he'll lower the pre-order price to $1.
So will this marketing idea work? Time will tell.

KIRKLAND, Quebec (Canada) - Even though their Christmas Card has to travel all the way from Canada to Holland, Allan and Lila Weitz never fail, like Santa. For years, they have been the first to get their Christmas card in the postbox of Mahjong News. And then, we mean a real postbox, not a digital one.
Allan and his wife Lila Weitz are long time collectors of mahjong sets. They always picture themselves on the card they send their numerous friends, in Canada and world wide. E.g. last year, we saw them shopping and wearing T-shirts with the text 'Mah-Jongg Sets Wanted'. This year, they pose behind some of their most beautiful mah-jongg cases.
Thank you so much for your faithful Season's Greetings, Lila and Allan. Mahjong News seizes the opportunity to share your pretty card with all mahjong friends on the globe who are the visitors of the Independent Internet Mahjong Newspaper: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Boeing 777 crash mystery (part 2)
Ukrainian officials have also actively commented on the catastrophe blaming the rebels at first, then Russia, then both. The Ukrainian side released in the Internet and social networks a number of materials ostensibly proving the guilt of pro-Russian militias.
Just within two hours after the passenger aircraft was downed an audio record of the alleged rebels' negotiations about the crash was posted in the web. However, the technical analysis experts found evident signs of audio cutting and audio layout in it. In addition, there was no any evidence provided that voices on the record belonged to rebels. In this regard, many Internet users agreed that these materials could have been premeditated by the Ukrainian side.
Besides, authorities in Kiev distributed in social networks the video allegedly showing Buk launcher being transported from the crash area back to Russia. However, experts proved that number 312 launcher was seen in a Ukrainian armored vehicles convoy in March 2014. More than that, Krasnoarmeysk city pictured on the video has remained under control of the Ukrainian law enforcers since May 11. (http://rt.com/news/174868-ukraine-buk-falsification-continues/)
Ukraine also published photos displaying the anti-aircraft missile systems located on the territory the rebels' control. The Ukrainian officials tried to ensure that the pictures were taken by their own satellites. However, as we made it clear earlier only American and Russian satellites were over the Ukrainian territory at the time of the crash. Incorrect date, time, and location of shadows from objects as well the lack of cloud cover registered that day also proved that those photos were nothing but fake. (http://rt.com/news/177296-ukraine-mh17-satellite-images/)
It is more surprising that Ukraine has not yet released a record of negotiations between the MH17 crew and a Ukrainian air controller who "accompanied" the liner up to the tragedy. This casts natural doubts that the Ukrainian authorities are trying to conceal some facts.
Their attempts to destroy the evidence at the crash site as soon as possible testify to the same thing. Since MH17 had been downed the Ukrainian troops kept on pounding the crash site despite the fact that there were no military infrastructure or rebels' roadblocks in the area.
Arguments of the Russian side
The Russians reject all accusations related to MH17 downing in the Ukrainian airspace.
During the briefing on July 21 the Russian Department of Defense presented its objective control data over Boeing 777 crash. According to the data the airplane deviated from the route for 14 km over the area of armed conflict. At the same time Russian Defense Department detected a Ukrainian Air Force aircraft, presumably Su-25, at a distance of 3-5 km from the Boeing.
In addition, Russian militaries made public satellite images depicting the Ukrainian air defense units located close to the crash area. So it's clear enough that MH17 route went just inside the hitting area of the Ukrainian anti-aircraft systems.
It is worth noting that the Russian side also refers to the statements of the Ukrainian officials. Thus, according to media reports, the Attorney General of Ukraine admitted on July 18 that the rebels had had neither Buk nor S-300 air defense systems. (http://en.itar-tass.com/world/741271)
At the same time, the Ukrainian forces had their anti-aircraft missiles installed in the area of conflict shortly before the liner's downing. For what purpose? The fact is that rebels have never possessed any aviation units. (http://rt.com/news/173636-buk-malaysian-plane-crash/)
My own opinion
According to Ukraine, rebels possessed one Buk launcher capable to shoot down airplanes even at the height of 10,000 meters. As for the Buk anti-aircraft system, the Internet says that it is quite a complicated system consisting of four vehicles. So it's hard to imagine how the launcher itself could "accidentally" lock onto Boeing 777 and shoot it down without guidance and targeting station that detects the target within 150 km.
A friend of mine, an air defense officer, told me an interesting thing. The Buk launcher hitting range is about 30-40 km. The militaries always use several missile launchers to destroy air targets as at a high altitude and speed (about 900 km/h) an aircraft stays in the hitting area of one launcher just for 4-6 minutes. I also can't imagine how untrained personnel could acquire a target and hit it. And it is known that most of rebels are workers, miners, metallurgists, who are unlikely to have necessary skills to manage such a complex technique that requires special education and regular training.
At the same time we are aware that the Ukrainian militarymen are skilled enough in such things. In 2001, Ukraine had sad experience downing a civilian aircraft by mistake. Siberia Airlines Flight 1812 from Israel to Russia was shot down over the Black Sea by the Ukrainian ground-to-air missile. Furthermore, it were Ukrainian air defense experts who were shooting down Russian military aircraft in the sky over Georgia in August 2008. And we know exactly that the Ukrainian Buk system was located near the crash site. In any case, Russians showed the satellite images proving it and Ukraine did not refute that.
However, in my opinion, you need to find out who gains profit to determine who is really guilty. In this case, it's obvious that Boeing 777 crash brought huge benefits only to the Ukrainian side which sought for global support to reverse an unfavorable military situation in Donbas. Besides, keep in mind that the US was able to persuade the Europeans to introduce new sanctions against Russia only after the disaster.
However, I do not want to make preliminary conclusions. Once again I want to repeat, we must wait for the outcome of the international commission investigation.

text: I do not have a Taurus PT 145 or 745. I do have two Taurus hand guns and both have been fine so far. I did have to send one back for a sticky magazine release but it only took 4 weeks to rurn it around. I have had to send back a Sprinfield 1911 and a new FNP 9 for issues, so Taurus is not the only gun with challenges. I have looked at the 745 as a possible option for carry. I carry a Kel Tec PF9 right now and am very happy with it as it it is slim, has not manual safetys (DAO) and is 7 +1. 9 mm in current cartridges is better than it used to be and it all boils down to shot placement regardless of the caliber. If you want a Taurus, then go for it. We all are guilty from time to time (more some than others) of being gun snobs. The bottom line is you need to be happy with your choice. If you have a range to rent the guns, go fire them and see what feels the best for you.

Gabon boule export ban mooted28 November 2011
The export of boules from Gabon looks like it has been banned by the government, though concrete details are yet to emerge, according to the International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO).
Traders are still unsure whether they will be allowed to complete contracts before the ban is enforced.
Exporters have also been told they might not be able to load containers at producer mills but at a site managed by state port operator SEPBG instead and under the supervision of customs and forestry department officials to ensure shipments are correctly documented.
Meanwhile, in Ghana wood product export volumes fell by 18% in value to €85.9m and 16% in volume to 259,151m³ in the first nine months of 2011.
The Ghana Timber Industry Development Division says the decline was due to lack of logs supplies and sawmillers' operational challenges.
Plywood was the biggest export product at 87,638m³, followed by KD sawn timber at 46,202m³.

HoopsHype Bobby Brown rumors

After the Knicks worked out star Euroleague point guard Bobby Brown this week in Las Vegas, the team has "a lot of positive momentum" toward signing him, according to a player source. "Talks are very good [with the Knicks]," the source said. "I would be surprised if a signing isn't being considered. It would be a great signing for them." ESPN.com
At this point, however, Brown appears to be the Knicks' favorite to be their third-string point guard, but they have competition for his services. About five other teams are interested, according to a player source. ESPN.com

In a continuing search for deeper point guard depth, the New York Knicks conducted a workout with free-agent guard Bobby Brown in Las Vegas on Tuesday, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. Yahoo! Sports

Word is that Dallas made a determined push this spring to try extricate speedy point guard Bobby Brown of Cal State Fullerton fame from his Italian team Montepaschi Siena, but the price was too high to get the 28-year-old during the season. Brown has been one of the best players in Europe in 2012-13 and, after stints with the Kings, Wolves, Clippers and Hornets, is expected to return to the NBA next season with several teams interested. ESPN.com
Do you feel that your dream to come back to the NBA will come true soon? Bobby Brown: "Yes, my dream is to come back, to be at home, next to my family. Ι'll do my best". EuroHoops.net
Bobby Brown, in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, denied the report that he may leave Siena for the NBA this season. "NBA? I read about that. But I am in Siena, I love being here and I will stay here. At the beginning of the season, I had to learn how to play in Serie A. I want to be the leader of the team. Coming to Siena was the right choice for me. There is a winning tradition and I want to win. It is the best team where I have played in my entire career, NBA included. I feel like at home. I love the city and the people. To stay? It is a possibility. I want to play where I am a key player in the roster. I don't want to come off the bench. I want to be right player for my team. But it is too early to talk about my future, let's think about this season" said Brown. Sportando
Montepaschi Siena (Italy) guard Bobby Brown, the presumable MVP of the Euro Basketball League, could become a free agent and available to sign in the NBA this season, sources told Yahoo! Sports. Yahoo! Sports
After several years bouncing between Europe and the NBA, Brown, 28, has had a breakout professional season with Siena. Nevertheless, the franchise's financial issues may leave the organization open to a buyout of his contract, sources said. Several NBA teams have inquired about the possibility of signing him as a backup point guard. Yahoo! Sports
Singer Bobby Brown, of New Edition fame, has had a hectic couple of months with legal matters, family emergencies and court-ordered rehab, but he's expected to find a way Friday to perform at The Palace of Auburn Hills for a Detroit Pistons halftime show. How Brown pulls this off remains to be seen because he has an 8:30 a.m. arraignment Friday in a Van Nuys, Calif. court due to an arrest last month on suspicion of DUI - reportedly his second offense this year. Palace Sports & Entertainment officials have been assured by Brown's associates that his recent legal matter won't affect his scheduled appearance at the venue. And Brown, according to the Los Angeles Superior Court media relations office, doesn't necessarily have to be present for the arraignment. Booth Newspapers
Amir Johnson, Nick Young, DeMar DeRozan, Dijon Thompson, Dorrell Wright, Bobby Brown, Brandon Heath, Pooh Jeter, and Trevor Ariza were all amongst the players in attendance who grew up in Los Angeles and today have careers as professional basketball players in the NBA or overseas. FoxSportsWest.com

So my older brother called me the other night, the only one that calls me, and tells me that mom is in the hospital again. I wasn't shocked. My first concern was to find out whether or not it was the usual reason or if it was her heart. It was for the usual reasons so I was relieved. Listen to me, "I was relieved." It has become so normal that it doesn't even phase me that she is once again in the hospital in the mental ward.
Living with a schizophrenic mom has taken a toll on my entire family. I live over four states away and there isn't a thing I can do for her or her illness. I've tried in the past believe me. I've tried so hard in the past that it broke my family apart for a time when my oldest daughter was around two years old. I even went to live with mom in hopes coming back home would improve the situation. It didn't. It seemed to have escalated it now that I look back. She is good at getting attention. All schizophrenics are. It is apart of their illness. Most of the family has tried to help her in some way but no one has been successful on helping her stay on track. She always ends up back at square one.
I have often wondered if she was really sick or just pretending simply to get pity. Growing up with it and not understanding it makes you view it in that way. She wasn't a good mom I can't sit here and praise her. I can however sit here as a grown woman and start to understand a little as to why she didn't do some of the things she needed to do. Now some things she refused to do there are no excuses for. Like getting me ready for school as a little girl. There is no excuse for that in my opinion. Even in my worst day of a fibromyalgia attack I get up and make sure my daughter is ready for school the proper way. That is a mother's job.
Mom probably decided to pull this episode due to the holiday coming up. Good ole' Thanksgiving. It was my dad's favorite holiday. She does this every year. Last year it was Christmas she went into the hospital. She either takes too many of her pills, or she'll stop taking them all together. We haven't had a problem with her overdosing in a long time. She now just stops taking her meds.
She was in the hospital about three months ago too though. She was staying with T whom I wish she would have nothing to do with and my cousin R, who is my aunt Eve's son, attempted to run her off I heard and long behold she ended up in the hospital shortly after going over to the house I use to call home. I believe that is what set her in motion on that particular episode.
I've talked to counselors. I've asked for help from everywhere and there seems to be none that is worth the taking. The best I get is there are far worse people off then her who live on their own or who are homeless. I believe this illness has deadened my family and what it was meant to be. I believe it has been the sole component that has so easily allowed the barriers to be put up between my brothers and I. It silences our communication even though we need it so badly. We don't know what to say or what to do to help our mom or ourselves in this continuing battle of schizophrenia.
When dad was around he was the caretaker. He was the one who handled her. He handled her well so we thought. We thought he handled her well because we didn't have to "deal" with her or the illness first hand like he did. What a life he must have lived dealing with his wife having the illness and trying to raise five kids and having no money along the way. God bless him for being a great man and dad.
Throughout the years my mom has lost a lot of her family. Some have disowned her because of her actions that she has kept repeating. Some have disowned her because of her choice of being with T who is a shit bag. I can't candy coat it here. I have no love for the guy and I never have. I tolerated him because he was married to my aunt Eve and while she was living I put up with him for her. After she died I was relieved that I wouldn't have to have anything to do with him ever again. Well, so I thought! Long behold my mom decides to be "best friends" with him. I think there is more then friendship going on myself, and many others do so too.
I am angry that she did this once again. She pulled another selfish act. She wasn't thinking how it would affect my nephew or my youngest brother and his family who expected to cook dinner with mom. He was looking forward to having that this year. Another holiday for him that will have an absent void in it. How can I be angry with him after all he's lived with on his own since dad has died? I don't know…whom should I be angry at?
Should I be angry that he couldn't fix her? I couldn't even fix her! Should I be angry at my oldest brother because he couldn't fix her? I couldn't even fix her! Why am I angry at all? Schizophrenia has destroyed my family. I only talk to one of my brothers on a regular basis out of four. There is something wrong with that. I've tried to reach out to each of the others. It has done no good. There is so much resentment for things said and done in the past that the wall just doesn't seem to be coming down anytime soon.
We all have done everything you can think of to try to fix our mom and in the process of doing that we've hurt each other and never looked back. We all stepped in at different times to try different approaches in attempts to make her life better and along the way we've stepped on each other in one way or another.
So, I will call my mom tomorrow in the hospital to wish her a happy Thanksgiving. I'm not sure what conversation we'll have except to ask why again? Like I have so many times before…
Times like these I wish my dad were here more then any other time.
Until next time, be safe…and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
