January gifts
Have you noticed the pretty pastels of a winter sky? Sometimes just a whisper of pink in the clouds in the morning? My daughter took this picture in Alaska. No photo-shop. Just a beautiful purple sky serving as a backdrop to a leafless black winter tree's silhouette.
Icy drizzle and pelting rain was falling when I was in the left turn lane to get to Trader Joes. Two twenty-something young men were at the curb by the gas station to my right, hoodies pulled up around their faces, one crouching with a gas can in his hand and the other standing behind him, holding a cardboard sign that I'm sure was asking for gas money. I admit to shaking my head a bit at them for their carelessness in running out, wondering how far away their car was and wondering if they really wanted the money for gas.
Two women, one middle aged, one quite elderly drove up to the curb in a 700 series BMW, about to pull into traffic. They were talking to each other and I wondered what the boys thought of them in their expensive car, when, to my surprise, the woman driving motioned to the boys to go back and fill their gas can – that she'd left enough $$ behind to pay their way out of their muddle. The way the boys jumped up, smiled, said "thank-you! thank you!" and ran to the shelter of the gas pumps warmed my heart.
Was it really my place to judge and condemn?
How easily that could have been one of my sons in trouble in the rain.
I need to work more toward having my natural reaction be to help. Just help.
A lesson can be a gift.
Downton Abbey started up again; Season 4. That's a gift worth waiting for in January.
And I fell in love with this pretty perfume bottle lid. Lovely little gift shops are fun to meander through.
No need to buy anything; like this Toca collection of candles and perfume bottles that are delightful enough just to look at, touch and smell. This fragrance is "Stella."
What little surprises and heart warmers have you been enjoying this month?
It may be a quiet and subtle, gray and winter month – but it certainly contains its own charm and lends itself to absorbing little things, teaching moments and nature's whispers.
I wish you all three of these, and anything else you open up to on your own.

Quinoa stir-fry with pineapple and cashews for Meatless Monday
No one's saying you have to go meatless just because it's Monday -- but as incentive to join the growing movement, every week we're offering an animal-free recipe.
Rice is always popular in a stir-fry dish, but why not give another grain a chance? This tropical entree will make you feel like you're dining in some warm, exotic spot (until you finish it, anyway). And quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it has all the necessary amino acids, so it's an excellent meat replacement however you cook it.
You will need:
1 cup quinoa
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup water
3 tablespoons and 1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
4 ounces cashews (raw and unsalted if you can find them)
3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 green onions
2 cloves garlic
1 red chile pepper
1-inch piece ginger
1 red bell pepper
1 cup green peas (frozen is okay)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons mint leaves
3-4 cups fresh pineapple
3 tablespoons vegetable stock
1 tablespoon mirin
1-2 limes (optional; for garnish)
1. Rinse the quinoa and drain. (This grain can have a bitter taste if you don't rinse it well.) Combine with the pineapple juice and water, plus 1/4 teaspoon of the soy sauce, in a medium-sized pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat; then lower the heat, cover and simmer until the quinoa has absorbed the liquid. (This could take anywhere from twelve minutes to thirty; I like to use lower heat and cook it longer.)
It should look like this when you're finished. For the best stir-fry results, chill the covered quinoa while you prepare the rest of the ingredients (you can also place it in an air-tight container and chill overnight in the fridge, but cooling it for an hour or so works just fine).
2. If you're using a whole, fresh pineapple -- which we recommend -- then cut the bottom and the top off, remove the rind and cut the fruit off the core before chopping it into cubes. (You can store any leftover pineapple in a container in the fridge for snacking.)

In this session, two previously unpublished studies are presented an
analysis of variety in the diet and an analysis of snacking and eating away
from home. The 1977-1978 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (NFCS)
(USDA, 1983, 1984) and the Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys
(HANES I and NHANES II) (USDHEW, 1979, 1984) have provided
insights into the eating trends of Americans and the resulting nutritional
adequacy of their diets (Crocetti and Guthrie, 1982~. Some results from
those analyses confimned commonly held beliefs about how Americans
eat. Other results, however, were surprising and brought into question
long-held assumptions about eating trends in the United States. These
findings are briefly presented here.
Since their inception, both NECS and HANES have provided infor-
mation on the food and nutrient intake of the U.S. population. In order
to use the findings of the early surveys for nutritional guidance, nutrition
intervention programs, and food and agricultural policy, it became obvious
that information beyond what Americans eat was needed; for example,
we needed information on social, economic, demographic, and cultural
factors associated with varying food patterns.
Therefore, the 1977-1978 NFCS was modified to provide data sufficient
to identify and determine the nutritional consequences of venous eating
patterns of persons and to identify the demographic characteristics of
OCR for page 87
respondents with common patterns of nutritional adequacy and inade-
quacy. Similarly, NHANES It collected sufficient additional information
on health practices to permit inferences about health nutrition indicators.
Meal Patterns
The NFCS indicated that 90% of all respondents ate regular meals-
that is, two or three meals each day for 3 consecutive days (Crocetti and
Guthrie, 19821. Of these, two-thirds ate three meals on each of 3 days,
8% ate two meals on each of 3 days, and the remaining respondents ate
two or three meals on each of 3 days. The nutritional adequacy of re-
spondents' diets was directly related to the number of days that respondents
consumed regular meals, regardless of the number of snacks. Almost 50%
of those who regularly ate two meals per day skipped breakfast, whereas
when others missed a meal, it was more often the midday meal than
breakfast. When the meal pattern differed for one day, that day was almost
invariably a weekend day. The classification of eating occasion was based
on the respondent's designation of breakfast, lunch, supper, snack, and
so on.
Three-quarters of the NFCS respondents reported snacking at least once
in 3 days. When their intakes were compared to appropriate Recommended
Dietary Allowances, those who snacked had more nutritionally adequate
diets than those who did not snack, and as the number of snacks increased,
the adequacy of diets of all age groups increased. This finding suggests
that the nutrient density of snack foods was as high as that of foods selected
for meals. For most people who snacked, the snacks provided from 10%
to 20C%o of calories and of 10 assessed nutrients. Traditional snack foods,
such as pretzels, chips, and soft dnnks, were eaten more often as part of
a meal than as a snack; candy and ice cream were the only two foods
mentioned more often as snacks than as part of a meal. As anticipated,
the frequency of snacking declined with age.
Compliance win Nutritional Guidance
The NECS data were analyzed to determine the extent to which re-
spondents chose foods that conformed to the basic four food guidance
approach the major nutrition education effort at the time of the survey
(Crocetti and Guthrie, 1982; Guthne and Wright, 19841. At least one-
half the number of recommended servings from each of the four food
OCR for page 87
groups was consumed by 83% of respondents during the 3-day period,
whereas only 3% consumed the recommended 6 servings from both the
meat and milk groups and 12 servings from both the cereal and the fruit
and vegetable groups. The higher the degree of compliance with the basic
four recommendations, the more adequate the diet; however, respondents
who followed the food pattern did not necessarily show a recommended
distribution of caloric intake from carbohydrates, fat, and protein.
Food Choice
Although grocery stores reportedly stock several thousand food items
and the USDA tables of food composition contain well over 4,000 entries,
NFCS respondents reported a relatively small number of these foods with
any frequency (Guthne and Wright, 1984~. For instance, oranges and
orange juice, apples, and bananas accounted for 62% of the mentions of
fruits; potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, beans, peas, and corn accounted for
73% of the mentions of vegetables. Similarly, data from both NHANES
and NFCS showed that more than 80% of the assessed nutrients came
from fewer than six different foods. In addition, some foods reported in
He NFCS were clearly identified with either children or adults (Crocetti
and Guthne, 1982~. For example, milk, ice cream, soft dnnks, and nut
buyers were consumed more frequently by children than by adults, whereas
eggs and cheese were consumed more by adults. Tea and coffee, reported
an average of 5.27 times over a 3-day period, were the most frequently
reported items, followed closely by milk (5.1 mentions) and bread (4.7
mentions). This information should provide a basis for developing a less
burdensome approach to assessing dietary intake and adequacy.
Data from He NFCS and NHANES are voluminous, and nutritionists
must continue to study Hem in order to answer questions about relation-
ships among food patterns, nutrient adequacy, health indicators, and social
factors. The following two papers analyze data from the NFCS that relate
to variety in the diet and to snacking and eating away from home; such
analyses provide a better understanding of the complexities of Amencan
eating patterns and a stronger foundation on which to base nutrition policies
and education efforts.

We seem to have someone ask this every year. Most times I am at the lower end of the spectrum, thankfully.
But I got a rude awakening last nite when the guy that I get hay from stopped by to look at fixing my barn floor for me, and told me hay was going from $2.75 a bale to $4.00 a bale. These are the smaller or regular sized bales, not the really large/heavy ones. He told me another hay seller we know is going to $5.00 a bale. It made me think of all of you, if my hay is going up that much, I can't imagine what some of you are paying? So where are you, and how much are you paying for hay? |

Last I knew, which was a few weeks ago, a friend was buying square bales - not best quality as she has 2 retired "fatties" and very good grass, so they stand in a dry-lot all night and most of the PM - for $7-9.00 per bale, depending on availability. I think she said she paid $8.00 then. |

I don't know what it is going to be here this year because no one has cut hay here yet this year--cold and the season is about 2 weks behind usual, but usually we pay around $8.00 per bale. I just invested in some pasture mix seed to expand my pastures. We don't have the capability to cut enough of our own hay to last through the winter here, but if we can get into September on pasture, it really helps a lot. |
I pay just under $2 for a small sq (40 +/- pounds)and 30 for a 800+/- pound roll. Dave |

Square here are running over $7.00 and round bales delivered are $35.00. |
Last time I checked, small bales were going from the feed store at 3.00 a bale, but that was a few months ago..and those are the SMALL bales, really small ones. I better invest in a scythe! |
- Posted by kydaylilylady z6 KY (My Page) on Thu, Jun 12, 08 at 15:59
Depending upon what it is small square bales can run from $4.00 to $10.00 here. Janet |
OMG!!! I live in California, not only are we paying $4.85 a gallon we are paying $21.75 a bale for grass hay, $22.75 for alfalfa, $22.50 for oat hay. These are square bales 115lbs to 135lbs bales. When I first got horses we paid $35.00 a ton for alfalfa delivered and stacked. My horse is 29 and I know he is my last, I work at the feed store and get my feed for cost. Sad world we are moving to. |
- Posted by dibbit z7b SC (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jun 16, 08 at 0:12
Well, the bales probably run about 40-60 lb., depending, so it's on a par with or higher than your prices, Acorn. Gas, on the other hand, was about $3.78 for regular when I got gas on Sat., at the cheapest station around. Since we are back in drought conditions, despite a decently rainy spring, the first cutting of hay was sparse, and unless it rains a LOT, I don't know if there will be a second one any time soon. Most hay locally cut is cow hay - horse hay comes from out of state, mostly - there is some fescue locally baled. |
- Posted by pamghatten wny5 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 16, 08 at 13:20
Ouch acorn ... I was waiting to hear some outrageous price like that. Gas today, outside Buffalo, NY is $4.21 a gallon. The hay I get is timothy grass and will be $4 a bale. We had a really dry spring, but seem to be making up for it now. 1.5 inches of rain in the past 2 days, and rain forecasted all this week. (Though we know they lie! LOL) |
- Posted by happy2beeme 4a NH (My Page) on Mon, Jun 16, 08 at 16:06
40# square bales last year were $4. pulled out of the barn and $3.50 out of the back of the wagon. (In the field) We were just told this year $5. out of the barn and the field. WOW! gas reg unleaded $3.96/gal today |
I'm about halfway between frankfurt and nurnburg where Bavaria, Hessen, Baden Wurtenburg, and Thuringen all come together. Big town nearest me is Schweinfurt. Where did you visit? Dave |
Gas costs about $10 a gallon here. |
- Posted by pamghatten wny5 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 08 at 13:32
We know we've been "spoiled" by low gas prices as compared to Europe. We need to get our public transportation back to being a priority. In Germany I visited: Dortmund (Buffalo, NY's sister city)I lived with a family for a month when I was 18, we visited all over the area close to Dortmund, Berlin in 1977, Hamburg - been there 3 times, Munich (took the train from Munich to Hamburg), Frankfurt ... I think that's it. It's been many years, I need to visit again. It's one of my favorite countries. I'll need to look at a map to see where you are. |

Grass hay here was $13 yesterday and alfalfa pellets were the same. We have two Alpine does, one is giving 7+ pounds of milk every day and the other about two pounds. Both have kids and are not separated. So since they both eat the same amount the lower producer is going to auction. Tom |

I spoke yesterday to my sister who lives on Whidbey Island in WA. She said she was at the feed store earlier in the year, getting straw for mulch for her garden. Hay, the ordinary square bales, were then about $22 for 2-string bales, and $25 for 3-string bales. Hay was mostly, she thought, from east WA and alfalfa or alfalfa mix. Granted, the hay had to come over to the island on a ferry, but, OUCH!!! |

Has anyone ever had this? It's clear, and sticky, like sugar water. Is it from the fertilizer? This has been a weird winter indoors. I usually have a scale problem, but not this year. This year I am plagued with fungus gnats. I have tried Gnatrol, BT, mosquito bits, yellow sticky traps, even insecticide spray, all to no avail. The traps work, but there's always more gnats. Is it possible the gnats are leaving the sticky residue?
Thanks, Mary |

dunno about the sticky stuff. but when i get fungus gnats, i mulch the top of my pots with course sand. someone told me this a while back. apparently the sand kills the larvae. haven't seen a gnat since. |
Mary, I have seen this sticky stuff on my plants at times as well (usually in very small quantities). My suggestion is to first check for critters that may be munching on the plants. The sticky stuff could be sap. As far as the fungus gnats go, stokesjl's idea with the coarse sand is great, though I think it's more likely that the sand is killing the fungus that the fungus gnats feed on. Personally, I sprinkle ground cinnamon on the top of the soil which also kills the fungus. I've also heard of people keeping mosquito dunks in their watering cans which would definitely kill the larva. |

I doubt it's the gnats: in my experience they don't do anything except make baby gnats and try to fly up my nose. A sweet, sticky substance on houseplant leaves almost always means scale, mealybugs, or aphids. What kind of plant are we talking about? If you've tried spraying with a lot of different insecticides in a short period of time, it's possible that the sprays have interacted with one another somehow, and there's also the outside possibility that it's something the plant is doing (flowering Dracaena fragrans or Hoya carnosa drip nectar, for example, though in both cases you'd be able to see and smell flowers.), or something a neighboring plant is doing, but my bet would be that your scale problem isn't as over as you think it is. |
- Posted by tsugajunkie 5a SE_WI (My Page) on Fri, Mar 7, 08 at 18:21
I agree with mr_subjunctive's list of suspects with the addition of whites flies. They too will create a honeydew. Thing is, all these culprits are usually quite visible or you've already looked closer for them. Have you tried shaking a plants with the honeydew to literally see what falls (or flies) off? Anything white amongst the fungus gnats? tj |
I'm going through this right now as well. Meal bugs and spider mites both secrete a sticky substance. I have tried to spray my ivy several times in the shower and have kept it away from all other plants. Still see a few bugs here and there. I might give up on the plant because I don't want my other plants in the house to get bugs. |
- Posted by babywatson 7 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 9, 08 at 18:19
The plant that I've noticed this most on is a Boston fern. There doesn't appear to be scale on it, or white flies (that I can see.) It's weird because it keeps dripping on the floor too. When I shake the plant all I see is a bunch of dried up leaves. The rest of the plant is green and healthy (although weirdly shiny). |
It was said: "Meal bugs and spider mites both secrete a sticky " Mealybugs yes. Spider mites no. The list of sticky makers -- the stuff is called honeydew -- are these |
Look along the stems of your fern, as well as the fronds to find the scale insects. Sticky stuff all over the leaves and the floor is a sure sign of these little pests. |

Immigration: Supporters rally to stop the deportation of Imelda Valenzuela Gonzalez
As Imelda Valenzuela Gonzalez headed into the Denver Immigration Court just before 8:30 this morning for a hearing on her deportation case, a crowd of supporters that had gathered on the sidewalk in front of the court building chanted in unison, "Si se puede!"Valenzuela Gonzalez.
When the 43-year-old mother of three emerged a short while later, the crowd was still chanting. Valenzuela Gonzalez's daughter shared with them what happened: Her mother's case was continued until December 4, giving her family an eight-month reprieve.
"It's bittersweet," Tania Soto Valenzuela said. "We have more time to continue fighting, but also more time to stress and worry."
Valenzuela Gonzalez came to the United States from Mexico in 1999. A cosmetologist by training, she owns her own beauty salon here. When a new immigration law prevented her from renewing her cosmetology license, she sought help from a notario whose office was near her shop. The notario promised to secure her a work permit, but the deal turned out to be a scam. Valenzuela Gonzalez paid him thousands of dollars, and in turn, he wound up alerting federal immigration officials about her and hundreds of other clients.Melanie Asmar Valenzuela Gonzalez holds hands with her three children (right) and prays.
Her situation is complicated by a neglect case. Her family explains that it stems from an incident in which Valenzuela Gonzalez's youngest daughter, now eleven, called the police on her son, now fourteen, when they were bickering. Valenzuela Gonzalez wasn't home at the time because she was out running an errand, and she wound up being charged with neglect. She ended up pleading guilty and the court gave her just a year of unsupervised probation. But her eldest daughter says federal immigration authorities are trying to use that incident against Valenzuela Gonzalez in the deportation proceedings.
Today, the family stood together in front of the tall downtown building that houses Denver's immigration court. Dozens of people holding signs with messages such as "This Family Belongs Together" lined the sidewalk as morning traffic streamed by.
"I want to thank you again for being here to support my family. We know there are many other families that are going through the same process and today, this is something that my family is going through," Valenzuela Gonzalez said to the crowd. "I want to be here with my family.... This is where I've raised my family and this is where I want to say."

If you've dreamed all your life of having a beautiful wedding and reception in a lovely setting, complete with all the amenities, don't be discouraged from pursuing that dream because you have a limited budget. Working within a budget may present some challenges which will result in your being more sensible, more creative, and in the end, more satisfied with the results of your careful planning.
First of all, consider having your wedding on a Sunday, Friday, or any day of the week other than Saturday. Even on a Saturday, consider a brunch or luncheon wedding reception rather than hosting a dinner. More savings may be realized by having your wedding in the months of November through April; less busy months for most wedding related services.
The best way to reduce your overall costs on your reception is to reduce the number of guests who are invited. Consider eliminating the "pivotal people" (those individuals or couples that when invited, require you to invite several others, just to be "fair").
Consider not including children as most facilities charge per guest, regardless of their age. If you cut back 20% of your guest list, you save on invitations, cake, and room size, as well as on food.
Save money on other services by having a smaller wedding party. Fewer attendants will require less time from the photographer, fewer flowers, less limo space, etc. Ask each wedding supplier about specific money saving packages which may be based on reduced time spent or services supplied. Tell each supplier your budget for their specific service, and ask them what amount of service they can provide to suit the funds you have available.
Be creative; remembering that it's often the little things that are unique to your wedding that most impress your guests. You may be surprised to find that an elegant, intimate wedding will suit your style as well as your budget.

Roach control | treatment to prevention
on Monday, July 01, 2013 by Terminix
Cockroaches are some of the oldest surviving insect forms on Earth, predating humans by more than 300 million years. Their durability is one of the reasons why it is difficult for homeowners to achieve effective roach control. For instance, according to Myth Busters, cockroaches are "able to survive radiation doses at 10,000 rads, which is 10x the lethal dose for humans". Some species of cockroaches can survive being submerged in water for 15 minutes, and some can even live headless for up to a month.
There are also many different types of cockroaches—smokybrown, American, German and oriental, to name a few. Because they need an opening as little as 1/16th of an inch to enter your home, effective roach control starts with you sealing as many exterior cracks and holes as possible on the outside of your home.
Additional preventative measures
An effective way to deal with large, outdoor cockroach species, such as smokybrowns, is to limit their potential harborages near your home. Move firewood away from your home, store it off the ground and cover it with plastic to keep it dry. Discard piles of lumber and bricks, and minimize the use of heavy ground cover, like ivy, near your home. Keep layers of mulch to about two inches deep, and keep mulch at least 12 inches from the foundation.
German cockroaches are the most prolific breeders among all cockroaches. They hide in your bathrooms and kitchens to be as close as possible to food and moisture sources. Therefore, it's important to keep food in tightly sealed storage containers, and you should not leave your pet's food and water sitting out overnight.
American cockroaches thrive in warm, damp environments such as sewers, steam tunnels, basements, crawl spaces and boiler rooms. In southern states where this cockroach lives outdoors, successful pest control involves possible treatments to the attic and crawl space, as well as finding and treating likely cockroach harborages over the entire property.
Do-it-yourself products can help you temporarily control many types of cockroach infestations, roach bait may be somewhat effective, too, but this is limited by the fact that every cockroach in a population has to feed on the bait before the infestation can be eliminated. Knowing where to apply each product effectively is where the experience of a professional pest control service is helpful.

text: Lee IT et al. – In Chinese hypertensive families, the incidence of diabetes in subjects without central obesity was similar to that in subjects with central obesity when they also had the same number of positive MetS components. Authors suggest that central obesity is very important, but not the essential component of the metabolic syndrome for predicting of new–onset diabetes.

Applications Developer Interview
Application DetailsI applied through college or university. The process took 2 days – interviewed at J.P. Morgan in September 2014.
Interview DetailsI chatted with them at a career fair and got a next day interview. During that interview, I spoke with two people. The first was a more technically-oriented interview. The guy asked me about past development experience and a few questions about object-oriented programming. The second one was more of an HR type of thing.
Interview Questions- "What is a static variable?" Should be simple for you studious ones, but I actually couldn't remember precisely what the definition was because I hadn't written any code involving static variables.
"Why shouldn't I hire you?" Now here's a head-scratcher, haha. I said, "Because I'm brand new and have very little experience." Fair enough. Answer Question

Applications Developer Interview
Application DetailsI applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at J.P. Morgan.
Interview DetailsWas asked to apply through a friend. Had an hour long phone interview with technical lead. They asked me to write a sample fully functional application using Ruby on Rails. A little background on me I have coded in Ruby for less than a year and have never coded in Rails. I successfully completed the assignment in a couple of days. The team reviewed my code and brought me in for a face to face group setting interview with over 10 people. Each person then asked technical and personal details related to the application they were working on. During the interview several people cursed and one playfully threw a notebook at another team member (not me). After the interview the team lead pressured me very hard to give him my current salary which I did not do. The entire process never spoke to an HR person or the hiring manager. In the end they said my skills in Ruby were not up to par.

Application DetailsI applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at J.P. Morgan in March 2014.
Interview DetailsReferred by a friend, received phone interview two days letter, and then interviewed at JP Morgan for 3 and half hours with 4 people one week later. At first, I thought the interview to be a OO focused one, so I prepared a lot for OO design question since the team used SmallTalk as the programming tool. It turned out the question is more focused on what I have learnt in maths and finance, not too much OO.
Interview Questions- Met 4 different levels and groups of people. Each person focused on different aspects. Derive BS PDE, some probability questions, design parking lot and their daily management process (I don't quite understand what he really wanted, so I was struggled with this question), some financial derivative questions like yield curve and pricing bond.

Applications Developer Interview
Application DetailsI applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at J.P. Morgan in October 2013.
Interview DetailsFound on college career site, went to a panel on campus and met some people at the career fair, then did a next day interview on campus (after they scanned my resume for 30 seconds and said I looked alright). That interview was an hour long and mostly resume-based and behavioral, with one technical question.
The college "super day" was really only a few hours (they payed for transportation to Chicago), which consisted of two half hour interviews, and a presentation to one other guy that I had been told to prepare. These interviews were essentially behavioral and there wasn't too much preparation on the part of the interviewers.
In general, the process left me uninspired.Interview Questions- What's the difference between a linked list and an array? View Answer
Reasons for DecliningThe offer was a bit lower than 'cooler' companies, and I got the sense that it's a place for suits and that people didn't really enjoy their jobs. Also, spending six weeks in Columbus for training didn't sound that exciting.

Interview DetailsIn my case, my interview went very smoothly and very quickly because my experience matched perfectly for the position for which I was applying.

Applications Developer Interview
Application DetailsI applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5+ weeks – interviewed at J.P. Morgan in July 2013.
Interview DetailsHR Screen followed by management and team phone interview followed by face-to-face series of interviews.
HR interview was basic verification that I could say yes or no to matching the job posting requirements.
The phone interview was very one way with both the managers and team members. They didn't ask if I had questions once and didn't answer them when I asked at the end, they turned them back into questions to me. Managers where vague about what role required and focused on what I had done, not how I had accomplished any of it. The team interview was like a multiple choice question exam where the answers where obvious.
The Face-to-Face interview was LONG. Started at 1:00, left at 5:45. The Management portion was more about getting to know personality than skills. Most job questions were about describing specifics to things on resume and if they made the experience relevant to the position. In hind site, the description of the role and the requirements for it were drastically different than the reality. They stated the position was intended to take advantage of existing skills and allow for development of skills that were new or dated over a long period of time. The reality was that after 2 months I was expected to know all the technology equally, and even though my contribution was very high where my expertise was very high the notion that time would be allowed to develop new skills was simply not true.
Interview with team members was different depending on their background. Some where very straight forward and verifying that level of expertise was where it was stated to be. Others where asking for examples of how specific situations where handled in the past, a lot of discussion about how I would deal with situations that were very standard and led to sharing war stories more than interviewing.
Was not encouraged to ask questions and when I did the replies where vague and did not answer the questions. After starting understood they didn't know the answer but didn't simply tell me that.Interview Questions- Describe a situation when I had to fire someone for a code of ethics violation. I never have and that response led to the question "why?". I've never had anyone violate a code of ethics rule so it has never come up. They seemed to get stuck on that even though this wasn't even a management position making that portion strange. View Answer

I have plenty of antifreeze and water in it (do have a small leak when i fill it right up tho so i keep it too miniumum) and my interior heating soon warms up after a few minutes of being on so all fine there.
This leaves me very puzzled and scared if I get stuck in serious traffic will my car continue to rise on the guage and blow up!!! Any ideas would be great and also can I check to see if my radiator fan works??? I am a novice mechanic by the way.
Thanks Clinton.

I was hoping to have a CE Avatar as well. Maybe it is something that will be added at some point.

text: One of the best experiences we have had was renting a kayak and heading out to the Moku'lua Islands either from Kailua Beach or Lanakai Beach. The Moku'lua Islands are comprised of Moku Nui (North Moku'lua) and Moku Iki (South Moku'lua). Both islands are state bird sanctuaries, and the public is only allowed access to Moku Nui. The trip out and the sights on the island are worth the effort. Along the way, you may stumble upon green sea turtles or other aquatic life and once on the island you can see the hillside covered with Sheerwater nests. Be sure to check the water conditions before attempting to paddle out. The surrounding water approach can be tricky at times. You can rent single kayaks or doubles and most have a little extra room for a child. This is an excursion better suited for families with older children or consider making it a parents only trip. If you do take your child along make sure that they can swim and that they are wearing a safety floating device. Sea kayaks are unstable and easily capsize. Make sure all your gear is tied to the boat. We recommend you bring a small collapsible cooler with a lunch and drinks and have a picnic on the beach of the island. Once on the island, follow the trail around to the south of the island and be sure to check out Queens Bath on the backside of the island. Be sure to bring your hat, sun screen, water shoes, and camera. If you prefer a guided tour, head over to Kailua Sailboards and Kayaks. They offer good guided tours departing from their store near Kailua Beach.

Kennebec River Rafting Trip Packages and Pricing: North Country Rivers
North Country Rivers
1-800-348-8871 - USA and Canada
(New England's Most Popular White Water Rafting River)
Plan your Kennebec River Whitewater Adventure Vacation with North Country Rivers. CALL US TOLL FREE (US and Canada) AT 1-800-348-8871 and we'll personally help make your Maine rafting trip, "The Thrill of a Lifetime!"
The Class IV Kennebec River Gorge is by far the most popular whitewater rafting trip in New England. Once you experience the beauty, excitement and FUN, you'll know why!
With consistent daily water releases from Harris Station dam, optimum flow levels are assured throughout the season. There are also LARGE "spring-like" releases during summer called "turbine test releases." These generate REALLY BIG rapids for INCREDIBLE FUN (especially when the weather is HOT). Another great aspect of the Kennebec River is that it's WATER IS WARM - even in the spring. In the fall, it also displays spectacular colors all along its steep-walled gorge.
The Kennebec River is not a rocky, technical river. Instead, it's a very deep, fast mover with big "fun" wave trains. This is why it's the ideal rafting trip for beginners, youth groups, families, and experienced rafters alike.
Right from the start, you'll have a smile glued to your face. You'll also begin to see why thousands of whitewater enthusiasts flock to the Kennebec every year (young and old alike).
We can configure your trip to include more than just rafting too. For example, we can include a Moose/wildlife watching tour, an morning or evening, half-day or full-day ATV trip, or a fly fishing trip. If you're going to stay for multiple days, we can arrange cabin rentals, tent camping, RV site camping and even full meals - in any combination (see packages and pricing links above and to the right).
So what are you waiting for? Why not experience an unforgettable Maine adventure vacation? You'll want to come back too - as most of our guests do!

text: The expansive First Folio version of 4.3 Othello differs substantially from the leaner Quarto version. This essay analyzes original staging practices in order to argue that Othello 4.3 was edited when the company moved into the Blackfriars and that removing the play from its original theatrical conventions had disastrous consequences for the scene and for Desdemona's character. At the Globe, with its practice of continuous staging, the slow, intimate action of Emilia undressing Desdemona provided an essential release from the mounting dramatic tension late in Act 4. The dramatic purpose of 4.3 diminished in the Jacobean private theater, where an entr'acte paused the action, which necessitated the original textual elision. Further performative and textual disruptions to the scene eliminated the sense of pathos the scene provided within the structure of the play, which caused greater textual interference. Considered maudlin and ridiculous, the scene eventually disappeared from performance in the nineteenth century for nearly fifty years. Changing performance practices and textual deletions created confusion about Desdemona's role within the play by presenting a character in performance wholly at odds with the extant Folio version.

Besides working out and eating healthy, there's also what to drink to lose weight and the drinks are very easy to prepare for everyday drinking. These drinks should be taken lightly though, if you overdo it it may create more problems than solutions.
#1 Mix water with cayenne pepper
The heat in the cayenne pepper is key for this drink to help you burn stomach fat. Take 8 ounces of ice water, and mix in about 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, stir it in well and enjoy. This cold drink will give your body a natural jolt and speed up your metabolism, you can also add some lemon juice for some flavoring and some more detoxifying properties. This is easy to do and cayenne pepper is cheap and very long lasting.
#2 Green tea
Get some green tea bags from the supermarket, boil up some water, and make some tea. Green tea is full of antioxidants with a dose of caffeine, making this green gem an awesome fat-burning formula. Make sure to get your daily serving of green at least 3 times a week in the morning for that healthy boost.
Part of the reason some people are fat or overweight is because there is build up in their bowels, by drinking all-natural home-made juices, it helps detoxify your system. This is sometimes called the detox diet. I recommend trying this with apples and oranges exclusively. They pack all that's needed to cleanse away your body.
#4 Mix water with Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is also known to have detoxifying agents, though this is quite powerful, you should only add about a teaspoon to a glass of water. Try this a couple of times per week to notice fast results in that waistline.
#5 Monavie Original Acai Berry
Acai Berry has received lots of attention due to it's latest discovery that it helps with energy boosts and promotes weight loss. After Monavie had been the original acai berry drink, lots of copies have sprouted out there, but none of them match the original Monavie.
What I sometimes do is drink some green tea as soon as I wake up, along with my oatmeal for breakfast. Sometime in the middle of the day I take some cayenne pepper and mix it with some ice water and drink away (I have a supply of cayenne pepper at work).
Since fruits carry lots of carbs, I usually make some juice and drink it after my evening workout, the body needs a healthy burst of carbs and this drink is just right immediately post exercise.
These are great drinks that burn belly fat and you will get that flat stomach that much faster by preparing a tasteful sip of these more often. For the most effective approach to lose weight, make sure you also implement a proven exercise program, such as Mike Geary's Six Pack Abs Fitness System.

38 Makin to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram 133 WASHINGTON, 29 January 1948, 6.30 p.m.
Indonesia I went today accompanied by Minister to State Department to see Associate Under Secretary Armour who had with him Lacy, N.E.I.
expert, and Richards. I developed at length the views set out in your telegram number 80. [1] Lacy said that U.S. advices were that there were very few exportable products from Republican area.
Sugar was only product in large quantities and this had been held up for so long-through no one's fault-it had now deteriorated. I replied that if this was the case it would be easier for the Dutch to be accommodating.
Armour said that it was their view that Committee should remain in Indonesia-if not Graham himself then someone else.
As regards exports this would require some study and he would undertake it at once.
I understand from a member of my staff that Lacy and others in State Department take view that Dutch have been reasonable in their attitude to recent negotiations whatever they were in the past.
Armour, as always, was extremely cordial and said he would communicate with me again.

Pvt. Joseph Lane served 18 months in the Virginia Militia and was present when Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown.
Lane was an early Bradley County settler.
"This is a rare occasion for the community, as only 13 Revolutionaries are known or reasonably thought to be interred here," noted David Whaley, president of the local SAR chapter.
Lane was buried in the "old" Lee Cemetery on Shingle Hollow Road, just off White Oak Valley Road. There is a cemetery sign on the east side of the road. One GPS entry would be 149 Shingle Hollow Road.
Some 20 color guard members in Revolutionary War-era clothing will present the colors and fire a three-round musket salute afterward.
A granite marker denoting Lane as an American Patriot will be unveiled during the short ceremony.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I have to boast. There is nothing to be gained by it, but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. | 1 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. |
2 I know a man in union with the Messiah who fourteen years ago was snatched up to the third heaven; whether he was in the body or outside the body I don't know, God knows. | 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know--God knows. |
3 And I know that such a man - whether in the body or apart from the body I don't know, God knows - | 3 And I know that this man--whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows-- |
4 was snatched into Gan-'Eden and heard things that cannot be put into words, things unlawful for a human being to utter. | 4 was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell. |
5 About such a man I will boast; but about myself I will not boast, except in regard to my weaknesses. | 5 I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. |
6 If I did want to boast, I would not be foolish; because I would be speaking the truth. But, because of the extraordinary greatness of the revelations, I refrain, so that no one will think more of me than what my words or deeds may warrant. | 6 Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say. |
7 Therefore, to keep me from becoming overly proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from the Adversary to pound away at me, so that I wouldn't grow conceited. | 7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. |
8 Three times I begged the Lord to take this thing away from me; | 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. |
9 but he told me, "My grace is enough for you, for my power is brought to perfection in weakness." Therefore, I am very happy to boast about my weaknesses, in order that the Messiah's power will rest upon me. | 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. |
10 Yes, I am well pleased with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions and difficulties endured on behalf of the Messiah; for it is when I am weak that I am strong. | 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. |
11 I have behaved like a fool, but you forced me to do it - you who should have been commending me. For I am in no way inferior to the "super-emissaries," even if I am nothing. | 11 I have made a fool of myself, but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the "super-apostles," even though I am nothing. |
12 The things that prove I am an emissary - signs, wonders and miracles - were done in your presence, despite what I had to endure. | 12 The things that mark an apostle--signs, wonders and miracles--were done among you with great perseverance. |
13 Is there any way in which you have been behind any of the other congregations, other than in my not having been a burden to you? For this unfairness, please forgive me! | 13 How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was never a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong! |
14 Look, I am ready this third time to come and visit you; and I will not be a burden to you; for it is not what you own that I want, but you! Children are not supposed to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. | 14 Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. |
15 And as for me, I will most gladly spend everything I have and be spent myself too for your sakes. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? | 15 So I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. If I love you more, will you love me less? |
16 Let it be granted, then, that I was not a burden to you; but, crafty fellow that I am, I took you with trickery! | 16 Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery! |
17 Was it perhaps through someone I sent you | 17 Did I exploit you through any of the men I sent you? |
18 that I took advantage of you? I urged Titus to go and sent the brother with him; Titus didn't take advantage of you, did he? Didn't we live by the same Spirit and show you the same path? | 18 I urged Titus to go to you and I sent our brother with him. Titus did not exploit you, did he? Did we not act in the same spirit and follow the same course? |
19 Perhaps you think that all this time we have been defending ourselves before you. No, we have been speaking in the sight of God, as those united with the Messiah should; and, my dear friends, it is all for your upbuilding. | 19 Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? We have been speaking in the sight of God as those in Christ; and everything we do, dear friends, is for your strengthening. |
20 For I am afraid of coming and finding you not the way I want you to be, and also of not being found the way you want me to be. I am afraid of finding quarreling and jealousy, anger and rivalry, slander and gossip, arrogance and disorder. | 20 For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder. |
21 I am afraid that when I come again, my God may humiliate me in your presence, and that I will be grieved over many of those who sinned in the past and have not repented of the impurity, fornication and debauchery that they have engaged in. | 21 I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged. |

I am still on my mission to research Fosmax for the bones. Now I have read Natural Woman and Natural Hormones and it says that progesterone cream can stop bone loss. Does anyone know anyhting about this cream? I don't take FemHRT any longer (2 weeks off) and am pretty concerned about popping Fosamax each Saturday morning for bone loss. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Is progesterone cream dangerous. Can it cause cancer? What is it good for? Thanks Lou |

The otc kind will not stop bone loss. It probably won't cause cancer if it contains only what the label claims. It's very good for the bank accounts of those who manufacture and sell it. |
- Posted by jifrah(email@example.com) onWed, Nov 21, 01 at 10:39
There are other drugs for bone loss now: alendronate, calcitonin, and raloxifene. I have taken none of them but I'm sure my endocrinologist will want to discuss them after reading my most recent bone scan next week. Here is a link (http://www.mssm.edu/medicine/endocrinology/pdfs/osteo.pdf) to a web article about bone loss that discusses these drugs (and other bone loss issues). Its a .pdf document so you will need to download acrobat reader from adobe.com for free if you don't already have it. |

I've been reading a book "What your Doctor my not tell you about Menopause". It goes into great detail about the benefits of natural progesterone cream as opposed to HRT. The book claims natural progesterone is not dangerous and helps increase bone mass. It's a good read. Good luck, Jerri |
"Progesterone as a Bone-Trophic Hormone" by J.C. Prior, Endocrine Reviews, Vol. 11, No. 2 discusses this and cites a lengthy reference list. Unfortunately, it is not online. I obtained my copy a few years ago as part of an info packet from Women's International Pharmacy (www.womensinternational.com/). |

I've attached the abstract available on Medline for this particular article. Note the date and strong caveat about making any assumptions about progesterone and bone from this particular research. A recent article http://www.theglobeandmail.com/health and scroll down to the 7 day Some quotes from the story: > and > Osteoporosis, a condition of brittle bones caused by bone tissue loss, can be the result of It should also be noted that Prior never endorsed the use of otc progesterone creams as a treatment for osteoporosis and that most of the sites selling this snake oil (including the "Women's International Pharmacy" have taken a few sentences of her research out of context in an attempt to make their case sound more scientific. Progesterone as a bone-trophic hormone. BROWSE |

Ladies, please read the above post by Leigh. Sounds to me like progesterone could play an important role in decreasing bone loss. Leigh, didn't you read this? I mean, isn't this what Dr. Lee has been saying all along? Yet by your estimation, Dr. Lee is a quack and a charleton who is only out to make a buck at the expense of us ladies. |
I read it carefully. I read nothing about otc progesterone creams. And I noted that the conclusion in the article "This review provides the There has been almost nothing published on any bone benefit of progesterone since this was published in 1991 according to a Medline search. Had there been anything promising I think it safe to assume that it would be published. As I posted before, mlm scammers, compounding pharmacies and the like along with Lee have taken a few sentences of this study out of context and used them to promote the use of otc progesterone creams to "treat" or "prevent" osteoporosis. The Canadian study at the top of the post is far more important and is also current. Osteoporosis is found equally in men and women and may well not be related to sex steroids at all. I provided the sources and *my* interpretation. Other readers must provide their own interpretation. Such differing interpretations can often lead to very productive dialogue. |

From the Kitchen
This remarkable accordion recipe book is a fun example of turning the ordinary into something extra special. It has that original twist youve come to expect from The Vintage Workshop. Take a topic, such as the muffin theme used here, and group your favorite recipes into delightful mini- cookbooks. Perhaps you know of a college student who would enjoy a few family recipes in a little recipe book of their own, or a young bride who could use a little help in the kitchen. Either way, the recipient will no doubt be surprised at the skill and care required for such a miniature recipe resource!
