I have a sewage plant at my home an it has an air pump, would installing an air pump on my holding tank help in any way.
Yes, they work great. Peggie Hall, who moderates this part of the forum, speaks highly of the Groco Sweettank system. It's basically an air pump. An expensive air pump, but an air pump nonetheless.
I thought Peggy retired.
Hope I am the one that is wrong.

I was reading on this and I think I could make a very similar set up using this http://www.amazon.com/Marine-Metal-P...d_sim_sbs_sg_6 . It is intended for aeration, so I would think long periods of use should not hurt it, and this would not be a critical health/safety system so I think the savings are justified. I will have to be able to install my own wiring/tubing/fittings/vents but this is something I am capable of. I think the benefits would be obvious (lack of smell) and appreciated. Have any of you tried a "diy" for this application. I would like to know how it worked out/pictures/drawings.

Tony is right that Peggy retired. I should have used past tense when I mentioned what she had said. If memory serves, she also said that Groco went through some 5 years of the trial and error that companies call research and development before they created a tube that disperses bubbles in the tank but doesn't clog. I also think I remember that Groco promptly patented their tubing design. I guess that's what you're buying when you pay the high price for their system. But there is nothing wrong with a little trial and error of your own so long as you have a big enough vent to keep your tank from exploding when you pump air into it. You might have good enough tank access that you could use one of those little air stones like you see in an aquarium and just replace it every trip. Even going without anything to disperse bubbles should be better than no pump at all. If an air pump if for you, I would give it a try.

This must be a software/receiver thing because I have had no problems watching basketball on my local CBS station. Or maybe I am lucky that my guide data problem from last week is preventing me from seeing any other problems.
More likely dependent on the channels that your tuners were set to .. but I'm just guessing here.

Going to bed now.
Hopefully everything will continue working or be fixed by tipoff time tomorrow.

Thanx!A reset is done thru the menu. A reboot or a Red Button Reset is done using the red button in the card area. Or a reboot is done by unplugging the receiver for a few minutes and plugging it back in.

We know that guide data is provided from the 101 or 119 sats depending on what channels you have tuned. I would think it is safe to say that the date/time info is sent on both 101 and 119 as well. If only one of those two streams started sending the incorrect data/time then we would see some boxes impacted while others remain fine. That is my best guess.
Of course, the problem could be something completely different.
I just forced on of my HR20s to look at channels from 103 sat by recording 2 Starz channels; therefore, it should be getting guide and potentially date/time info from 119 sat. This box's date changed to 7/14 around 11:10.
Similarly, I forced my other HR20 to get its guide data from the 101 sat by tuning it to XM channels. Its date did not change.
Therefore, it would seem that my suspicion that the 119 sat is sending the wrong date might be true. Further tests are needed to confirm
In addition, based on the timing of people's posts about having the date change it looks like the data/time is sent in the stream every 20 minutes.

HR20-100 in great room - with 1 TB esata. Did a reset via menu and it came up with a blue test menu. Have not rebotted it yet but it appears it may have lost everything
HR20-700 - 750 GB esata - in Home theater - guide is blown out and do not want to reset it till I figure out what is going on with the other HR20-100.
HR21-100 in office - no esata - Guide was messed up and a system reset via menu cleared it up.
Anyone esle having problems with their DVR's coneccted via esata?

So, just let it set for a bit, and I'll bet it will correct itself, like mine did.

I rebooted the first time - the second time, I hadn't rebooted yet, and the screen blinked for a second, the date changed to the correct time, and guide and to Do started slowly repopulating, WITHOUT having to do anything.
So, just let it set for a bit, and I'll bet it will correct itself, like mine did.
Actually .. this may in fact mean that the problem just got fixed .. hopefully this is good news.

I've also noticed a few oddities in the guide other than those mentioned. Channel 347 IONw (ION Television West) was added but seems to think it's a PPV channel (no viewable content). Also, all East/West channels seemed to be changed to this format (channel followed by small 'e' or 'w'). I'm almost positive channels like 384 CWe and 402 UNIe have had their channel abbreviations changed from what they were. Also, PPV channels 119-124 are missing.

Types of treatments being researched
Clinical trials
Researchers approach dementia from different angles depending on their interests as well as their understanding, theories and models of dementia. The objectives of their research may also differ. Some may be trying to find a way to prevent or delay the onset of the disease, whereas others may be interested in trying to slow down its progression or treat the symptoms. A few research areas are very briefly described below.
Research area |
Explanation of how drug or treatment would or does work |
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors |
People who have Alzheimer's disease seem to have less acetylcholine in their brains than other people. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter (a chemical produced in the brain which acts as a kind of messenger between brain cells). Once acetylcholine has been produced and used in the brain, it is broken down by acetylcholinesterase (special enzymes). This is a natural process which is repeated over and over again. However, as people with Alzheimer's disease no longer produce as much acetylcholine as they used to, drugs containing acetylcholinesterase inhibitors have been developed which interfere with the breaking down of their limited supply of acetylcholine. Three such drugs have already been authorised but clinical trials are still being conducted for these drugs (e.g. for different types of dementia, different combinations of the drug and different doses or ways to administer them). |
NMDA receptor antagonists |
Brain cells, which are damaged as a result of Alzheimer's disease and some other forms of dementia, can lead to some cells releasing too much glutamate (a chemical which carries messages between brain cells). The glutamate then sticks to "docking sites" (known as N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors) on these cells and this allows too much calcium to get into the cell which further damages brain cells. Drugs known as N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists stick to the same docking sites thereby preventing the glutamate from attaching itself and letting too much calcium in. As with the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, clinical trials for the NMDA receptor antagonist are still being conducted. |
Tau |
Tau is a protein which accumulates in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. It results in the build up of brain lesions made up of neurofibrillary tangles (short fragments of the tau protein) which are the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. This happens long before the symptoms of the disease start to show. Researchers are interested in finding ways to stop these neurofibrillary tangles from accumulating e.g. by dissolving the tau tangle filaments before they start to form the tangles. Example of a study involving tau: Rember is a drug, currently under trial, which it is claimed inhibits the aggregation of tau protein. Its active ingredient is methylthioninium chloride (MTC). This is better known as methylene blue (which is a deep blue dye used in biology to stain tissue and in certain industrial products such as ink). Initial results demonstrated a slowing down of the progression of AD in people with mild AD who took the drug over a 50 week period. Further trials (phase 3) were initiated, also in order to investigate whether the drug could prevent the formation of the disease in the first place. |
Beta-amyloid |
Beta-amyloid, another kind of protein, also accumulates in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. It is a kind of sticky protein which accumulates in the brain in the form of protein fragments. Beta-amyloid is produced by a larger protein called the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP). These protein fragments are naturally broken down and eliminated but this does not happen in people with Alzheimer's disease. Consequently, the fragments accumulate and form hard, insoluble plaques which are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Research efforts have concentrated on trying to prevent the formation of beta-amyloid plaques and on trying to eliminate them from the brain. |
Synapse function |
People with Alzheimer's disease lose a significant amount of brain synapses and this loss tends to correspond to a loss of cognitive abilities. Researchers are looking into ways to improve synaptic formation and synaptic transmission which would then prevent or compensate for this loss. This might eventually be in the form of a specific treatment or perhaps a nutritional supplement. |
Biomarkers |
Biomarkers capable of tracking the presence of Alzheimer's disease in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), for example, constitute another line of research. This could involve various scanning techniques or even blood samples which are then analysed in the laboratory. Some scanning techniques can detect minute changes in the structure of the brain which are linked to the rate and extent of brain loss (i.e. speed of loss and volume of loss). The ability to identify biomarkers could eventually help doctors identify individuals who are at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and to monitor patients' response to treatment more effectively. Examples of studies involving CSF: Researchers at Washington University of School of Medicine St Louis, took a first set of samples of CSF from people with mild Alzheimer's disease and a second sample, three and a half years later. Levels of beta-amyloid and phosphorated tau 181 were monitored and compared to the observed rate of decline. This kind of study is important as it may contribute towards the identification of people at particular risk of a steep decline in cognitive abilities and also help monitor the effectiveness of drugs in preventing or slowing down the progression of dementia. In another study, three types of data were analysed: 1. CSF and ratios of AD-related proteins, 2. MRI volume measures of certain sections of the brain and 3. scores on tests measuring memory, learning and brain function. The participants in the study were either healthy or had Alzheimer's disease or amnestic mild cognitive impairment. The researchers, from Trinity College, Dublin, found that when the various types of data were combined it was possible to distinguish with 94% accuracy the participants who progressed from MCI to AD versus healthy people. The researches state that the model needs to be validated by an autopsy study of the AD cases. |
Immunotherapy |
Researchers have been trying for some time to develop a vaccine capable of stimulating an immune response to amyloid protein in the brain. Unfortunately, problems linked to meningoencephalitis (inflammation of the brain) in one study led to the research being halted. Nevertheless, passive immunization is now also being explored as a possible alternative method (e.g. Bapineuzumab) whereby antibodies are contained in the drug rather than generated by the body. A study involving IVIg: Researchers from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York analysed the medical records of 847 people who had received at least one treatment of IVIg (for other conditions such as cancer) over four years and 84,700 who had not. They found that people who had received IVIg had a significantly lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease compared to those who had not received IVIg. A large scale clinical trial is now underway to determine whether IVIg could be an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease. |
Drugs currently used for other conditions |
Sometimes, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that a drug used to treat one medical condition might be effective in the treatment of another condition. This was the case for Dimebon. It was originally marketed in Russia as an antihistamine drug but was found to improve the function of mitochondria (the central energy source of all cells). This is important for AD as an impairment of the mitochondrial function is believed to play a significant role in the loss of brain cell function in AD. |

Human rights complaint over Earls' "Albino Rhino" brand moves forward
The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has decided to hear a complaint against Earls Restaurants over the "albino" branding of some of its menu items.
Ikponwosa Ero, who has albinism, filed a human-rights complaint over the restaurant chain's marketing of its exclusive "Albino Rhino" beer brand and promotion of "Albino Wing Wednesdays".
Ero alleges the use of the term "albino" by the restaurant is demeaning and humiliating. She argues people with albinism have a distinct physical appearance that has often made them the subject of ridicule.
Earls has denied it discriminated, arguing the branding was intended to be whimsical and only a reference to albinism in rhinoceroses, not human beings. The restaurant chain also says the word "albino" was picked because it rhymes with "rhino".
Earls sought to have the compliant dismissed. However, in a ruling issued today (December 14), tribunal member Marlene Tyshynski determined the case deserves to go to hearing.
"In my view, one could reasonably conclude that there is a relationship between discriminatory product marketing due to the use of the term 'Albino' and differential and demeaning treatment of persons with albinism, if, of course, this is proven," Tyshynski said in the written decision. "On its face, the complainants make an allegation that, if proven, could amount to a contravention of the [Human Rights] Code."
Albinism is a genetic condition in which a person's body has difficulty producing melanin, resulting in a lack of skin and hair pigment. The condition is also associated with vision problems.
given past complaints, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if this was taken seriously and proceeded further. guess they need to justify their existence.
Why should it not be taken seriously?
Naming a Beer after a medical conditon that one has is OK with you? Maybe so for you but not so for the person with that condition, that's why we have Human Rights Commisions, to protect people from others who are Insensitive.
However, I hope this case demonstrates to her what a non-issue albinism is in Canada.
I think she is coming at this issue from the perspective she has observed in other countries. See this article:
Obviously Canada isn't even on the same scale as some of those countries mentioned. Sure, there could be taunting and bullying at the school age level (as with anything that set one apart from others), but certainly not into adulthood.
Next up: Fat Burger. How do all the poor fatties feel about that name?
Would you be offended by "amputee coffee" the coffee with less ? Or the "blindman's bird seed" or some other association ?
I don't think we should be summoning people to a judicial body to evaluate the depth of their feelings. I don't like the fact that people use offensive terms, but I worry more about protecting freedom of speech. Some offence taken is the price we pay for free speech.
BLUE Eyed Mary's Bistro, American Restaurant in West Vancouver?
BLUE Eyed Crab? RED Lobster Restaurant in Everywhere?
I demand that EVERYBODY stop calling the fruit of the Corylus avellana a nut because they are calling me a NUT too.
Political Correctness is going to prevent this young culture of less than 150 years from ever developing anything of substance. Every f#@$ing word has to be carefully thought through before you open your mouth, lest you offend someone, somewhere... and come under the wrath of someone who has nothing better to do than whine "me me me!" about something insignificant that nobody could care less about.
But go ahead and call your soda pop Pimply Winkly if you want to. It's not that such a title wouldn't cause me a degree of discomfort. It's just that I've got a life to live y'know? Much, much, much better and more important things to worry about and do with my time.
If people want their cause taken seriously, maybe have some perspective and common sense first.

You must have taken a payday loan to handle a financial emergency situation and now you are caught up in a vicious circle where you have to get new loans to re-pay the existing one. You find yourself in a trap, and every month, you are paying loans with huge fees. The situation can't go on like this as you can get the best payday loan help by following the tips below.
First, do not fret over your situation. Panic is one of the things that you should get out of your system, especially when you want to think clearly and make life changing decisions. Instead of feeling hopeless about your situation, you can be positive towards change. You weren't prepared for the financial problem that thrust you into this pit. Now it doesn't matter much. It has happened. All you need now is to find ways to recover and be prepared next time.
Second, you should avoid additional charges. One of the first things you should do is to cancel the Continuous Payment Authority (CPA), which allows the lender to get money from your bank account. The CPA allows the lender to get money from your account on the date you are required to pay the loan and in the event that there are no funds in your account or that the check bounces, the bank will charge you. You can either cancel the CPA by requesting the lending company to do so or you can do it directly with your card issuer. It is generally advisable to ensure that there is sufficient money in your bank account at the time a check is to be cleared. This will help you avoid getting additional charges from your bank.

Third, you should be very practical and realistic about your situation. You should start by taking note of how much you owe your lender and how much you may owe over a certain period of time. This will help you set up a realistic budget for the coming months and determine how to cut down your expenses. Sometimes people get into serious financial problems because they don't budget well and make poor financial decisions. You should be able to sit down and outline your needs, putting them against your budget, and determining which of these needs are most important. Cut out from your list everything that isn't necessary. Good budgeting will help you handle your finances better and avoid making an already bad situation worse.
Fourth, set up a payment plan. You can ask your lender for a loan revision or you can get out a new loan to pay off the existing one. There are many loan consolidation plans out there and you will be able to find one that is structured to suit your needs. However, it is important to note that freedom from payday loans will only result from your ability to manage your finances well. You can also consider setting up a savings account after paying off all your existing loans. Such an account will help you handle financial emergencies without seeking help from any lender.
You'll be able to repay all your existing loans and save more money if you work towards discipline and good financial planning. It is absolutely important to cut down unnecessary expenses and ensure that you pay your loans on time. If you follow the above tips, you'll become free from the payday loan trap in no time.

When you make your living in baseball, sometimes you get so occupied with the daily grind that you seem to forget why you first got into this business. But just as you run the risk of becoming jaded, it all comes back into focus in a New York second when you encounter human scenes that serve as reminders of how lucky you are to work in this industry. Like a parent looking through the eyes of one of their young children, you begin to appreciate the simplest things in the game when you're around fans who truly love America's National Pastime. And they come in all shapes and sizes, young and old.
Last Sunday, the A's hosted several thousand youngsters on our annual Little League Day. Veteran reliever Jerry Blevins and Bullpen Coach Rick Rodriguez held a brief clinic and Q&A session before the game. As I looked into the stands during the presentation, I could see the faces of wide-eyed kids, all with priceless looks of amazement and wonder. Sitting in a big league park, listening to men in big league uniforms talk about when they were Little Leaguers, all the while knowing that hot dogs and Jemile Weeks were still to come on a glorious sunny day in Oakland was almost too much for some to comprehend. For some 10-year-old from Castro Valley or Livermore, the memory of this day might last a lifetime.
Then there's Johnny Doskow, a baseball lifer who has admirably filled in for the irreplaceable Ken Korach while the Voice of the A's continues to heal from March knee surgery. Right now, Johnny is the proverbial kid in a candy store. One of the best announcers in minor league baseball, the Sacramento River Cats' play-by-play man has dreamed about being in the big leagues for all of his adult life. And it shows. While he knows Korach will return sometime early next month, the affable Doskow is savoring every moment of his Oakland A's adventure. Big league clubhouses and broadcast booths…first class travel and hotels…Major League per diem…clubhouse post-game spreads that will not be mistaken for the Cedar Rapids Kernals…and the world's greatest players performing in three-deck stadiums. Every time I see Johnny's face, it's like he's saying, "It doesn't get any better than this."
Another reminder about the special relationship some people have with this game presented itself earlier this week, when I accompanied Manager Bob Melvin to the first 2012 meeting of the A's Booster Club, a seasoned but enthusiastic group of about 200 loyal fans who gather at Francesco's restaurant on Hegenberger near Oakland Airport regularly during the season. All decked out in green and gold, some date back to the year the club was established in 1968—the year Charlie Finley moved the A's west from Kansas City. With many colorful characters, the spirited debates began even before the program did—"Why isn't Jonny Gomes playing more?…"I think Yoenis Cespedes could be the next Reggie Jackson!"…."Why don't the A's play more day games?"—and then Melvin walked to the podium with thunderous applause. One old-timer yelled from the back, "We're so glad you're our new manager!" Not that all the questions directed toward the A's manager were soft balls. Let's face it, fans miss Gio. Heck, I miss Gio. But Melvin always humanizes the situation. He told them it took someone as talented as Gio to fetch four high-ceiling prospects as promising as Tommy Milone, Brad Peacock, Derek Norris and A.J. Cole. Also, unsolicited, the A's skipper added this: "We're going to get through this. Don't worry, there are some great days ahead with this organization. And I want you to know how much we appreciate how loyal and supportive you have been. Keep coming out to the Coliseum. Our players see you out there." Especially those red-hots (green-hots?) in the right field bleachers. You know, the combustible ones that, at the drop of a hat, burst out into ear-piercing shouts while waving their arms and various objects in a rather insane manner. I'm not sure if they're simply the remnants of Matsuiland left over from last season, but whoever they are, we love 'em. Talk about great fans. They're off the charts. And they had plenty to yell about in the bottom of the 14th inning of Wednesday's homestand finale against the White Sox. We're just lucky we have railings out there because when Yoenis Cespedes uncorked his game-tying home run, and moments later, Kila (The Killer) Ka'aihue delivered the game-winning single, we might have seen a few of our valued faithful go overboard.
We need every one of you. We may not have the most fans attending our games this season, but I can't imagine better ones. Take pride in that fact. I know we do.

Great read! It seems there are a lot of jaded people out there in every profession, even baseball fans. It's refreshing to see that the spark still shines even at the big league level. Enjoy it Doskow! Good for you.
A very inspiring post. It's good to know that you include the fans very well on every game. What's a game without the fans, right? Big credit to the fans! Guys! You only not have the loudest shouts out there. You also have the biggest hands to push players forward in every game. Be proud of it.

Marquette Bank Affordable Housing Foundation Offers $250,000 in First-Time Home Buyer GrantsNeighborhood bank offers $10,000 and $12,500 grants to qualified local home buyers
Orland Park, IL (October 16, 2013) –– Marquette Bank, a locally-owned neighborhood bank, is working with the Marquette Bank Affordable Housing Foundation to offer grants to first-time home buyers who meet geographical and income requirements such as having a household income of less than $58,800 and purchasing a home within one of the 600+ low or moderate income census tracts in Marquette Bank's assessment area.
"The Marquette Bank Affordable Housing Foundation was created in 2007 to promote affordable home ownership in the communities the Bank serves," said Manuel Jimenez, Vice President, CRA Officer. "The foundation has always offered down payment assistance to first-time home buyers through its grant programs, but this program is the highest value of any grant we have offered so far."
First-time home buyers meeting both the geographical and income requirements may be eligible to receive a $12,500 grant and those meeting at least one requirement may be eligible for a $10,000 grant. The Marquette Bank Affordable Housing Foundation has allotted $250,000 to fund the first-time home buyer grant program which will be offered through Dec. 31, 2013.
Marquette Bank's assessment area includes the City of Chicago, the southern portion of Cook County, the southeastern portion of Kane County and the entire Will, DuPage and Kendall Counties. Purchased property must be used as the home buyer's primary residence and can be a single-family home, condo or townhome. Home buyers are also subject to credit approval and underwriting standards.
For more information, call 1-773-918-4507 or visit our website at www.emarquettebank.com.

Arne Duncan, our current U.S. Secretary of Education, recently was quoted as saying, "Improving educational achievement for your students is not just a moral issue, it is a national imperative, to ensure the economic vitality and the national security of the United States."
While our education system has made some progress over recent years, we're finding today that student skills are not always aligned with employer expectations. Through the leadership of governors, state and local school administrators, and educators, many states have made progress, but we find ourselves playing catch up.
In talking with local employers recently, I learned that many of their job applicants were previously displaced by layoffs and downsizing, resulting in loss of jobs. In many instances, the displaced employees looking for current job openings find themselves "over qualified." But notice the conundrum. What does "over qualified" mean? Today's job seekers may have advanced "degrees" and may be a college graduate, but lack the specific technical skills the employer is looking for.
What are
employability skills?
Employability skills are general skills necessary for success in the current labor market at all levels, and in all job sectors. These skills can be taught through the educational and workforce development systems and fall into three broad categories:
1. Applied Knowledge, the thoughtful integration of academic knowledge and technical skills put to practical use in the workplace.
2. Effective Relationships, the interpersonal skills and personal qualities that enable individuals to interact effectively with clients, coworkers and supervisors.
3. Workplace Skills, the analytical and organizational skills and knowledge that employees need to successfully perform work tasks. (See Employability Skills Framework http://cte.ed.gov)
What do new workers in entry-level jobs need to be able to do?
1. New workers need to have basic communication skills that include active listening, reading with understanding, observing critically and speaking so others can understand what you are trying to communicate. Making eye contact and body language is a key component of communication.
2. Successful job applicants must possess interpersonal skills which lead to cooperation with others in the workplace and resolution of conflict through basic negotiations.
3. New employees must possess good decision-making skills. Good decisions are made by looking at all the available data, conferring and collaborating with key stakeholders, obtaining expert opinion, evaluating pros and cons of various options, and then making a decision based on choosing the best option.
4. Successful employees will engage in lifelong learning and continuing education to remain up-to-date on the latest information available. This is especially true today as our knowledge base grows exponentially over very short time periods.
In the current and future job market, successful job seekers must be willing to return to school, close knowledge/skill gaps, and re-train in order to obtain gainful employment. Post-secondary schools and training programs must offer individuals seeking to improve skills and knowledge the flexibility of online classes, certifications in specific skills, and night and weekend classes. For too long, many parents and educators have basically provided two options for high school graduates. Either enter the workforce immediately upon graduation with a high school diploma or enter a bachelor's degree program at a four-year school. There are additional options and we must explore all viable options before making critical career decisions affecting one's career choices.
Post-secondary options
for career development
It's estimated there are currently 29 million "middle" jobs representing 21 percent of all jobs in the United States that pay $35,000 or more on average and don't require a bachelor's degree according to a recent report from Georgetown University Public Policy Institute. These are jobs that require education and training beyond high school, but less than a bachelor's degree. The education and training programs that prepare Americans for these jobs are often referred to as career and technical education (CTE).
There are five career and technical education pathways that educate and train job seekers for these "middle jobs":
1. Earn an associate's degree in a skilled technical field.
2. Earn a post-secondary certificate in a specific skill.
3. Obtain an industry-based certification.
4. Take advantage of employer-based training
5. Participate in an apprenticeship.
These pathways are not mutually exclusive and are often integrated and may overlap. CTE is sometimes referred to by some as the education and training that "pays along the way" to college or a degree program making this more affordable for students and families. Many students in CTE are able to work while enrolled in school. CTE is more career- and skill-focused than typical four-year degree programs and consists of relevant knowledge, applied learning and specific skills comprising the core of study.
Community colleges have a number of characteristics that make them highly effective economic development engines with the potential to play a central role in preparing the workforce that employers are looking for. Their open-door policy makes them available to students of all educational and economic backgrounds. Campuses are usually smaller and offer friendly, safe environments. Typically, their tuition rates are often much lower than their four-year and/or private counterparts.
Many community colleges are flexible enough to develop and offer programs much more quickly than four-year colleges, allowing for nimble adjustments to the changes in the marketplace — an asset that serves both employers and students well.
Many parents and students alike have discovered the value and practicality of entering the post-secondary track toward an advanced degree in community colleges. Earning an associate's degree from a community college provides a sound foundation for either finding work upon graduation, or perhaps advancing and transferring to another school to complete a four-year bachelor's degree.
Post-secondary Certificates are an American invention and our adapted version of the European apprenticeship track. Certificate programs are rapidly expanding in the U.S. and are focused on preparing individuals for more narrow occupations and fields. They often take less time to complete and certification may be awarded with less than a year of instructional time depending on the field of study.
For example, those workers who have obtained computer/information services certificates can, in some instances, earn over $72,000 annually.
Nationally, the top certifications accompanying a high school diploma are 1) Certified Nursing Assistant; 2) Commercial Drivers License; 3) Phlebotomy; 4) Basic Cardiac Life Support; and 5) Licensed Practical Nurse.
The top certifications with associate's degrees are 1) Licensed Practical Nurse; 2) Basic Cardiac Life Support; 3) Certified Nursing Assistant; 4) Occupational Therapist; and 5) Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).
Apprenticeships are training programs that combine paid, supervised, on-the-job learning experience with related academic instruction. They are usually cost-effective and offer a demand-driven, employer-sponsored method for providing individuals with basic post-secondary education and career skills.
The construction industry currently offers the most apprenticeships in the U.S. The economy is down, but welding jobs, machinists and maintenance workers are still in high demand.
The U.S. Labor Department in September suggested that an anticipated mass retiring of baby boomers could pinch the industry's supply of qualified welders. In fact, the American Welding Society believes the shortage could grow to 400,000 within the next three years.
The number of certified welders has declined in recent years, meaning the companies who have them are at a clear advantage.

Hi I am Carola and I'm a scrap addict.
Started some months ago, collecting every single peace of goodies.
Wondering how in the h..l I would organize everything, what to keep and what to let go.
Now I'm here and saying to everyone.
Welcome, Carola... admitting it is the first step to curing an addiction...LOL... unless you don't want to be cured... just like me!!!
I think I would go through your files and delete what you think you will never use. I have had to do that a few times! I usually download as kits and keep them in kits, calling the file the name of the kit. The designers are pretty good at labelling their work these days, so it is pretty easy, in my opinion, to do this. I find I use a kit more if it's all together because usually all the pieces in the kit co-ordinate, and I'm all about co-ordination. Anyways, I babble...lol... I hope that helps, and I am really looking forward to seeing some of your work, and be sure to join in the challenges we have here!!! Lots of fun!!!
Hi Carola - welcome to gds! I am sure you will love it here - everyone is very friendly, so jump right in and join in the fun!!
Hi Carola! Great to meet you and welcome to GDS! You'll fit right in cuz we're all digiscrap-aholics! ... and mighty proud of it
My system is complicated, but works for me
When I download and unzip supplies, I change the folder name to "KitName-DesignerName-website". Then I add a subfolder inside with the same name and move the previews, tou's and any 'no-piracy' or similar graphics into it. The the whole thing goes into a folder on my computer. When that folder gets close to the capacity of a DVD-R, I seperate the subfolders out and have adobe automate a set of contact sheets. Then I put those subfolders back into their original folder, add the contact sheets to the main folder, and record the whole thing to a DVD. As soon as I have verified that the DVD recorded properly and printed off the contact sheets, I delete the original files from my hard drive.
Then those contact sheets go into a large binder with divider tabs between each disk set.
I'm not sure if this is helpful or confusing, but that's how I do it. Right now I have 8 DVD's and the folder for #9 is almost full. I have been collecting kits and freebies since Dec '05, and starting about fall of '06 I started being more selective about the freebies that I download.
I *would like* to create some sort of indexing system, that way if I'm looking for a fuzzy fiber or a purple tag, I don't have to look through binders of contact sheets.

Welcome!! I hope you enjoy the world of digiscrapping!!
Hi Carola & welcome! Looks like you've already received some good advice about organizing. I have mine organized by designer name and I'm in the process of converting to acdsee. That way I can find what I'm looking for a little easier. Everything will be categorized by color, style, etc so that if I'm looking for blue ricrac, it will bring up thumbnails of all the blue ricrac on my drives. Ok, rambled enough. I hope to get to know you & see some of your layouts.

Before I realized Beckett did this, I was buying as I need it, now I go out of my way to find out the sub grades. If one of them is higher or lower than the rest, I don't want it. Just my two cents...

I am merely saying that given a choice, I would prefer that 9.5 be lowered to a 9 since the final grade is a 9 anyway. Reading at most of the BGS/BVG threads, and if I don't know any better, it almost look like you're the biggest stockholder of BGS Grading Services. How about letting other people write their opinion without you having a fit? Is that at all possible?
