Instructions for Viewing and Filling-in PDF Files using Adobe Acrobat Reader
General Explanation | Instructions for Fill-In Forms
General Explanation: Electronic versions of DOL's grant applications and report forms are posted on this website in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF files maintain the format and look of print documents and are easily accessible to people using various computer platforms.
To access a PDF file, you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. This free software, and along with instructions on installation and use, is available at Adobe's website: http://www.adobe.com/acrobat/readstep.html
If you are having difficulty downloading a PDF, please make sure you have the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. Older versions of the program have bugs that have been fixed in subsequent versions. If you need further help, try Adobe's customer support at: http://www.adobe.com/acrobat/gethelp.html
If you only see a blank page when you download the PDF, usually you are not waiting long enough for the file to download. If you have this problem, or would like to speed the download a bit, please try this: Instead of clicking on the link for the PDF, right-click. On the pop-up menu select "Save Target As" (Internet Explorer) or "Save Link As" (Netscape). Select the place on your hard drive to save the file, and the name. Once you click Save, the file will download to your computer hard drive. Once the file has downloaded, you can double-click on it to open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader. It is usually quicker to download the file this way, because it is downloading the file immediately instead of waiting for your Adobe Acrobat Reader program to open before downloading the file.
All applications and report forms on the website in PDF format are also available in paper format. Please call DOL at 802-828-3261 to request the documents you wish to receive.
Instructions for Fill-in Application and Report Forms: Applicants can download the electronic version of DOL application and report forms and, using freely available Adobe Acrobat Reader software, type into the forms on any computer. This eliminates the need for a typewriter or for re-creation of DOL's forms. Completed forms can then be printed out and mailed to DOL as part of your application or report package. At this time, DOL is not accepting electronic submission of grant applications or reports. Please read the following instructions carefully.
CAUTION: Please note that Adobe Acrobat Reader does not allow you to save your completed forms. You must completely fill in and print the forms in one operation. The ability to save completed forms is available commercially with the purchased, full version of Adobe Acrobat 3.0 (or later) product suite.
Note: You may also fill-in and print a single page of the form in one session. In your next session, this page will be blank, but just skip to the next page you need to complete and continue. Just remember, after exiting Adobe Acrobat Reader, the filled-in information will be lost. (It may be easier to fill-in and print one or two pages at a time, instead of trying to complete the entire form in a single session.)
Step by Step Instructions: Before you start to fill out a form, please make sure that you have all the correct, final information available. You may wish to print the forms first, and fill them out by hand and ensure its accuracy before filling in the final form on your computer. Since Adobe Acrobat Reader does not allow you to save the form once it is filled out, you will be unable to go back and edit your completed form (or completed page(s)) after you close the window containing your form.
Please note that currently, there is no computation, validation or verification of the information you enter. Form fields simply allow you to type in information - you must ensure it is correct.
1) Verify that you have installed on your computer Adobe Acrobat Reader version 3.0 or later. You may download this free of charge at http://www.adobe.com/acrobat/readstep.html
2) Download the forms you are interested in by clicking on the appropriate link. Depending on the configuration of your web browser, the form will open in a second web browser window or you will be prompted to save the file.
3) If the form is not currently open in your web browser, find the file you downloaded and open it.
4) If your cursor is not already in the shape of a "hand", select the "hand" tool from the Acrobat toolbar menu. This will allow you to move the page around to see each portion.
5) Move the "hand" pointer over a form box on the document. The "hand" should turn into an "I-beam". The "I-beam" signifies a "fill-in" section to the form. Click inside the box. You can now type into the box. When the pointer hovers over a check box, button, or item list, it will turn into a hand with one finger pointing. This means you can select the item.
6) To move from field to field, use the Tab key. Shift + Tab will move you to the previous field.
7) Fill out the form by typing text into the appropriate areas and checking boxes where needed. (Boxes can be checked either by clicking on the box with your mouse, or by tabbing into the box and hitting the "enter" key.)
8) Print the form using the "print" icon in the Acrobat toolbar menu - not the print icon or command in your web browser. If you print using your web browser's print command instead of the Acrobat command, the contents of the fields might not print properly.
9) Check the printed forms very carefully for any errors, fields that did not print, or omissions. You may go back and make changes to any of the fields in your open document, and then reprint it.
10) Only when you are certain the printed version is correct should you close the window containing your filled-out form. Again - Adobe Acrobat Reader will NOT allow you to save the completed forms.
11) If you find need to make a change in a page once you have exited Adobe Acrobat Reader, you will need to fill-in the entire page again and reprint.
12) Be sure to keep a paper copy for your records, as you will not have an electronic copy.
If you are having difficulty filling out forms after having followed all steps above, you may visit Adobe Acrobat's online support center: http://www.adobe.com/acrobat/gethelp.html

Greed LyricsArtist: Flotsam And JetsamAlbum: When the Storm Comes Down Now you know Just where you really stand Competition. Man against man Vicious players, Game of life has no plan. Candiate for office, You vote for me, I'm young, smart, smooth-talkin', no one can bullshit me Promises promises Just another vote. High paid thief in office, sharpened lies cut your throat What do you really want What will you pay To stab another back, To get your way And grease the painted palms, all gagged and bound You try to rip me off I'll bring you down Kill Or be killed, that's what we're all taught Money, drugs, religion, they've all got their plots To make it to the big time, then pay off the cops It's greed that motivates them and only death will make them stop Guilt tool of the trade, you crushed someone's mind To get your own way, you were my friend You've cut the bloodline that never ends

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jaycie!
Facts about Jaycie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Jaycie's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Jaycie was born in May of 2011. She was rescued during a Trap, Neuter, and Return project that we were doing out near the cross roads of Wilson and Leonard in Grand Rapids. We just knew this lil kitty would flourish as somebody's pet.
All of our kittens are spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV, vaccinated against Distemper, and treated for fleas and other parasites.
If you are interested in adopting one of our kittens, please click here to fill out an Adoption Application. Our adoption fee is $85 for one kitten and $125 for two.
Our adoption center is located at 4600 Knapp NE 49525. Our open adoption hours are every Sunday from 12-2pm. Come on out and meet the love of your life!
For more information you can also email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Other Pets at Focus on Ferals
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jaycie, a Byron Center Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Byron Center, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Byron Center.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Byron Center already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Byron Center breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Byron Center paves the way for another one to be saved.

I will definitely use this recipe again, watching out for my brussel sprouts; they got a little too done. I used Sandra's recipe for glaze rather than hunting for McCormick's.

My Fourth Year
By David Glenn Cox
This is my fourth year with nothing,
I cry no tears.
I no longer believe in God, Jesus or Santa Claus,
I have no illusions.
I believe there is a creator and a plan for me,
I have felt his warmth.
I have walked five miles in the frozen snow,
I relish my life.
I have witnessed birds and trees, running waters and frozen grasses,
I received great joy.
I heard the big trucks rumbling and cars speeding as they pass me by,
I saw and felt everything, they saw only their destinations.
There is much to be said about having nothing,
If you can stay alive,
If you can breathe and feel and eat and sleep,
If the pain doesn't catch up to you,
If the shadows don't kill you,
If the loneliness doesn't break you
If the cops don't take you,
There is much to be learned in this university of the road,
That poor people are good.
That poor people come in all shapes and sizes, all colors, all persuasions,
That poor people will share.
That though I might have walked five miles in the snow, they have walked ten,
That still, they have listened to me and obliged me.
That these things too, they have learned in this university of adversity.
I once had many things but I knew nothing and now, I have nothing,
But I know many things.
I once cared for people only with my head,
But now it is with my heart.
I have tried to step lightly through the world and to cause no injury,
But sometimes, I have failed and seek forgiveness.
I have sometimes been insulted and abused,
But I have found forgiveness.
This is my fourth year with nothing,
I cry no tears,
I believe in everything, in song, in laughter, in somber tones.
I have no restrictions,
I live my life in the simple beauty and glorious thunder of a hot shower, a warm bed, and a cold drink, the intoxication of sweet grass or listening to the ocean's cold roar.
I have spun straw into gold; though I'm older I'm not so old,
The warmth of a good woman, her hand to hold,
It is our greatest gift that won't fit in our pockets nor leaden our load.
It frees our spirit and caresses our soul and with it, I have no need of silver and gold.
With it, life is to be relished,
With it, life is not so cold,
With it, life is beautiful,
With it, we can move on.

Selby has photo exhibition at blues festival
Easton Selby, assistant professor of visual arts at CCU, will present âA Photographic Essay on the Geography of the Delta Blues,â an ongoing collaborative documentary between Shelby, photographer Armon Means from Kansas State University, photographer Josh Vincent from Mississippi State University, and historian John Strait from Sam Houston State University.
The four will display their work on Saturday, Oct. 9 at the âGeography of the Bluesâ event at the Arkansas Blues and Heritage Festival in Helena, Ark.
The photography display will focus on aspects of blues culture that is often overlooked and misunderstood; the people and places that have inspired the music. The group has focused on the idea of place within the blues culture by photographing and interviewing local people, visiting musicianâs homes, traveling to the places where the musicians worked, and staying in the places where they spent their lives.
âThe project stemmed from a conversation between myself and Dr. Strait about his article titled, âGeographical Study of American Blues and Culture,â and how photography has played an integral role in the documentation of the musicians but very rarely the places and the people that have inspired the music,â says Easton.
For more information on the Arkansas Blues and Heritage Festival, visit www.bluesandheritagefest.com.

Oh Great!!! What a wonderful idea----but I bet she doesn't want my milk stained stroller so I will have to go shopping for the little one! SO COOL! It has been a long time since I bought stuff for a little girl!
Okay everyone...now that we know Summer and Shaun are expecting a little Princess for Christmas it's time to get this online baby shower rolling! I've been wanting and waiting to do this since I found out Summer was pregnant!
The online baby shower officially kicks off tomorrow. Anybody who is interested in sending a little gift to our newest little DWT member that will be joining us in December can go ahead and put it in the mail!
Obviously, gifts do not have to be Disney themed or related....but it couldn't hurt!
Gifts can be sent to:
Summer & Shaun Rice
I thought it would be a fun way for Summer to pass these next few months away and it's always fun to get things in the mail other than bills!
Moderator Intervention:
Please PM disneydreamer for Summers Home Address
I created this thread so that members who have made friends with Summer could voluntarily send shower gifts if they feel so inclined to do so. I just thought it would be a fun thing to do and by no means want to add pressure to anybody who does not want to participate. This was something that I took solely upon myself to do and was not initiated or endorsed by DWT.com in any way.

Carrera sunglasses: now even more "After all, no regrets"
New campaign images for an even clearer picture of the brand's style
Carrera is revising the images in its communications campaign directed at young people who love good clean fun.
Devised and created by the D'Adda, Lorenzini, Vigorelli, BBDO advertising agency, the campaign is keeping its to-the-point headline, "After all, no regrets," applying it to new fun and exciting situations, where Carrera sunglasses play the undisputed leading role.
The new images are inspired from what's happening on the web, blogs and social networks and are photographic representations of the wish list of Carrera's online generation, a new list of must-dos for a life with no regrets.
Young people in the "Carrera generation" know that there are no dreams that can't be fulfilled, just dreams that haven't been fulfilled yet. They are self-assured lovers of life, who, rather than conforming to the masses, make a stand and dictate trends without following them.
Anything is bearable apart from the weight of things not done, words unsaid and love undeclared. That's why the Carrera generation will always be able to say: "After all, no regrets."
The worldwide press campaign to be launched in March covers newspapers, magazines and the web, where it will spread easily and naturally across the social media platforms, a targeted banner campaign, search engines and the corporate website carreraworld.com.
In addition to the press campaign, Carrera's "After all, no regrets" mood will be released on video where the Carrera generation will be speaking for the first time. Young people will talk about their "no regrets" lives, where every moment and opportunity of every day has to be grabbed for a life with no regrets.

- The event library which can listen to events and send events into the salt system.
The event system is accessed via the event library and can only be accessed
by the same system user that Salt is running as. To listen to events a
SaltEvent object needs to be created and then the get_event function needs to
be run. The SaltEvent object needs to know the location that the Salt Unix
sockets are kept. In the configuration this is the sock_dir
option. The
option defaults to "/var/run/salt/master" on most systems.
The following code will check for a single event:
import salt.utils.event
event = salt.utils.event.MasterEvent('/var/run/salt/master')
data = event.get_event()
Events will also use a "tag". Tags allow for events to be filtered by prefix. By default all events will be returned. If only authentication events are desired, then pass the tag "salt/auth".
The get_event
method has a default poll time assigned of 5 seconds. To
change this time set the "wait" option.
The following example will only listen for auth events and will wait for 10 seconds instead of the default 5.
import salt.utils.event
event = salt.utils.event.MasterEvent('/var/run/salt/master')
data = event.get_event(wait=10, tag='salt/auth')
To retrieve the tag as well as the event data, pass full=True
import salt.utils.event
event = salt.utils.event.MasterEvent('/var/run/salt/master')
evdata = event.get_event(wait=10, tag='salt/job', full=True)
tag, data = evdata['tag'], evdata['data']
# tag == 'salt/job/JOBID/ret/MINIONNAME
Instead of looking for a single event, the iter_events
method can be used to
make a generator which will continually yield salt events.
The iter_events method also accepts a tag but not a wait time:
import salt.utils.event
event = salt.utils.event.MasterEvent('/var/run/salt/master')
for data in event.iter_events(tag='salt/auth'):
It is possible to fire events on either the minion's local bus or to fire events intended for the master.
To fire a local event from the minion, on the command line:
salt-call event.fire '{"data": "message to be sent in the event"}' 'tag'
To fire an event to be sent to the master, from the minion:
salt-call event.fire_master '{"data": "message for the master"}' 'tag'
If a process is listening on the minion, it may be useful for a user on the master to fire an event to it:
# Job on minion
import salt.utils.event
event = salt.utils.event.MinionEvent(**__opts__)
for evdata in event.iter_events(tag='customtag/'):
return evdata # do your processing here...
salt minionname event.fire '{"data": "message for the minion"}' 'customtag/african/unladen'
Events can be very useful when writing execution modules, in order to inform various processes on the master when a certain task has taken place. In Salt versions previous to 0.17.0, the basic code looks like:
# Import the proper library
import salt.utils.event
# Fire deploy action
sock_dir = '/var/run/salt/minion'
event = salt.utils.event.SaltEvent('master', sock_dir)
event.fire_event('Message to be sent', 'tag')
In Salt version 0.17.0, the ability to send a payload with a more complex data structure than a string was added. When using this interface, a Python dictionary should be sent instead.
# Import the proper library
import salt.utils.event
# bring in the system configuration
import salt.config
cfg = salt.config.minion_config("/etc/salt/minion")
# Fire deploy action
sock_dir = '/var/run/salt/minion'
payload = {'sample-msg': 'this is a test',
'example': 'this is the same test'}
event = salt.utils.event.SaltEvent('master', sock_dir, opts=cfg)
event.fire_event(payload, 'tag')
It should be noted that this code can be used in 3rd party applications as well. So long as the salt-minion process is running, the minion socket can be used:
sock_dir = '/var/run/salt/minion'
So long as the salt-master process is running, the master socket can be used:
sock_dir = '/var/run/salt/master'
This allows 3rd party applications to harness the power of the Salt event bus programmatically, without having to make other calls to Salt.
A 3rd party process can listen to the event bus on the master and another 3rd party process can fire events to the process on the master, which Salt will happily pass along.
To fire an event to be sent to the master, from the minion, from code:
import salt.utils.event
import salt.config
cfg = salt.config.minion_config("/etc/salt/minion")
sock_dir = '/var/run/salt/minion'
tag = "tag"
payload = {'sample-msg": "this is a test'}
# The message wrapper
# Create an event interface
event = salt.utils.event.SaltEvent("minion", sock_dir, opts=cfg)
# Fire the event across
event.fire_master(payload, tag)

Drunk and horny
So I'm good friends with this girl, let's call her Lucy. My name is Keenan.
I had a party at my place which went on till around 3am. Lucy happened to be the only one to stay the night, so she slept in my bed. She is kinda cute with a small body and a very nice ass. Now I always just sleep in my boxers, so I stripped down. Lucy put on these tiny shorts that hugged her bottom. Right away I took the chance and started spooning her and started to doze off... well at least she doze off(I think). I was so god damn horny with a raging hard on. My dick is about 7 1/2 inches, and looks pretty good if I do say so myself I started dry humping her ass with such slow strokes, just going up and down her ass and sometimes the head of my dick would touch her pussy. Finally I realized how late it was getting so I rolled over and stroked my cock. I came so hard I started shaking a little! Then not thinking 100% clearly I went back to my big spoon position but kept my shorts off, so my cum covered cock is just laying against this cute girls ass. What did she say when she woke up? Well... that's for another story |

Alabama has answered the Oregon fans who created the "We want Bama" T-shirts.
BamaStuff.com is currently selling "You Don't Want Bama" T-shirts, a direct response to the T-shirts created by Oregon seniors Grant Otter and Harrison Tingler and "We want Bama" chants yelled by fans of several college football teams.
Last month, Otter and Tingler created the "We want Bama" shirts, which were a play off of the chant created by the Oregon student section during the Ducks' game against Tennessee on Sept. 14. The chant called for Oregon and Alabama to meet in this year's BCS national championship game in Pasadena, Calif. Otter and Tingler sold the shirts for $10 outside of the EMU after a high demand.
The Alabama shirts are a little more expensive, listed between $18-$24. Their shirt is similar in design to the Oregon one, with a minimalist design approach placing all of the attention on the words.
The "We Want Bama" Facebook page posted a picture of a "You Don't Want Bama" T-shirt on Monday night, along with this caption: "We figured one of these would appear eventually. Thanks Nike."

Is there a list of miniature roses that bloom on bushes that are about the size of a hybrid tea? What size plants do the miniature roses sold in the grocery stores grow to be? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by ken-n.ga.mts (My Page) on Tue, Mar 27, 12 at 15:06
My grocery store mini's always stay about 2 ft tall but I keep them in 18" decor pots. There is no list of mini's that get tall but I've grown MANY mini's that get tall. I don't know how tall your HT's are (what part of GA are you in?) but a good start is the mini Giggles. Several mini/miniflora's grafted on to fortuniana root stock will get big and still keep the blooms the proper size. I have a Whirlaway that is 5-6 ft tall and a Tiffany Lynn right next to it that is 5 ft tall. I get most of my mini/miniflora's from K&M Nursery. Give them a call and talk to Jim. He will be more then happy to help you pick out what would work for you and what colors you would want :) |
Most of my minis are the size of HT's. My Sweet Chariot is advancing to that size now, can't believe people try to grow that in a little pot.;) |
Not all but a great deal of the miniature roses will grow to be plants of about 3 x 3 feet if they're healthy and happy. And some of them can grow a great deal larger. There are climbing miniatures that will get to 12 feet tall. "Miniature" only refers to the size of the bloom and the leaf not the size of the plant. There are "micro-minis" that have very tiny blooms about the size of a dime and these bushes also tend to stay very small, around one foot. Most miniatures have blooms that range between 1/2 to 2 inches in size. Minifloras, a newer class, range between 1 1/2 and 3 inches in bloom size. Floribunda and Shrub rose blooms are usually around 3 to four inches. Hybrid Teas and Grandifloras can be as large as 6 or 7 inches in bloom size. The leaves on each of these also get larger as the bloom size goes up. All of this is contingent on your weather as well. Warm climates will grow larger roses because they have a much longer growing season. In my colder climate many things never reach the heights they will down south because of winter die back each year. Also the soil and growing location conditions can affect the mature size of a rose. If the soil is good and the rose gets enough sun and does not have to compete with other things for nutrients and room it will get to it's maximum size happily. One that I have that is close to three feet tall in it's first year is called Softee. I have no idea how big it will eventually get when it has a chance to mature. |

If you want a mini that will be as tall as ht's get Gourmet Popcorn. That bush will get 61/2 ' tall. A lot of the Minifloras will get 5-6' as well. My Jean Kenneallys grow to over 4' |

I have purchased cellular shades for three homes and have had nothing but excellent product and service. My last purchase had a small defect which they promptly replaced. Fit is very good, just remember to follow their measuring guidelines. I'll continue to purchase as the need arises.
by Janet inIdaho from Twin Falls, ID on September 20, 2013
I got exactly what I ordered. The delivery time was very fast. They were easy to install. We are very happy with this purchase & plan to order more in the future.
by Kathy from Michigan on September 19, 2013
Looked all over for a special size 37 x 37 cordless shade and was blown away by the prices listed. Most of the shades were in the $200 range and that was ridiculous. Found this shade and I could not be happier. Hubby had it installed in less than 10 minutes and fits true to size. Excellent quality and keeps the glare of the sun out. When i went out on the deck, I was surprised that you could not see any shadows inside and that made me very comfortable. My next purchase will be made here again as I have no doubt I will have excellent service as well as the product. Thanks so much!!!!

At Home With Mary Chen |
Life's trials and tribulations have made Dr Mary Chen Ming Li wiser and stronger. She has seen life both at its most dazzling and darkest, falling from the status of a popular celebrity into the midst of heavy debts and later working hard to achieve her current position. As a child star, Dr Mary Chen may have enjoyed great popularity, yet she hardly had any normal childhood to speak of. Although she shared the limelight with stars like Lin Feng Jiao, Lin Ching Hsia and Sylvia Chang, the allure of the entertainment scene was not enough for Dr Mary Chen Ming Li to maintain her status quo. After her marriage, she tried several ways to carve a niche for herself. However, the economic crisis in the mid 80s heralded a cloud of darkness which entered the couple's lives when they ran up a debt of S$1.6 million. It was only when she stumbled upon insurance that she recognized it was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. It was also insurance policy selling that eventually brought her and her husband out of the financial trap they were in. Surviving the financial crisis, Dr Mary Chen Ming Li continued to strive for excellence in her work. Having worked 18 years in the insurance industry, she was finally awarded the honorary title of PhD for Business Administration by an American university. Like a dream come true, Dr Mary Chen Ming Li finally donned the mortarboard. The arrival of their son filled the void in her family life. Bringing new meaning to their lives, their son draws the couple even closer. The couple revolves their schedule around him. Quality time with their little boy is emphasized rather than on quantity. Life takes on an even more worthwhile purpose as the couple got involved in charity work in the "Heart Project" in the Ganshu province in China. Dr Mary Chen Ming Li's experience with so-called friends had enlightened her tremendously. Shunned by people whom she thought she could rely upon during her financial difficulties, she learnt about the importance of self-reliance. Grateful for the support she receives from people around her, Dr Mary Chen Ming Li views the family unit as an irreplaceable pillar of support. Having a clear perspective in life allows Dr Mary Chen Ming Li to embrace life, to encourage people around her as well as giving the best she can. Coming to terms with life's twists and turns, Dr Mary Chen Ming Li emerges a better person. - October 1999, Channel News Asia |

If you are a small business owner, you can spend thousands of dollars on a marketing campaign with virtually no guarantee that it will succeed.
Or you can call Ann Fulmer, M.S., an adjunct faculty member in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program at Benedictine University.
She teaches a course called simply "MBA 661 – Marketing." As part of the course curriculum, students develop and present comprehensive marketing plans for real clients.
So far, the campaigns have been an overwhelming success – for the participating businesses and for the students.
"When I do speak with the client, I explain that this is a win-win situation for not only the students to obtain some hands-on experience, but also for the clients to receive some fresh, new ideas from talented, experienced, professional students," Fulmer said.
"Oftentimes, these ideas can lead to concepts that the client can implement immediately and it costs them nothing but a little bit of time," she added.
More than 500 students have completed Fulmer's course, developing marketing plans for more than 40 businesses, companies and individual entrepreneurs. After initially pounding the pavement to solicit companies willing to take a chance on her students, businesses are now reaching out to her.
Her students have prepared marketing campaigns for businesses ranging from health care companies to golf courses.
"Our students developed a campaign for a local golf course that absolutely loved all the students' ideas and immediately began to implement them," she said. "Some of these ideas included punch cards, a social media campaign, a virtual golf league and an internal tracking system.
"Another team was assigned to an area park district," Fulmer added. "The team designed some unique outdoor classes to further leverage the park's beautiful grounds, and redesigned new membership packages for the fitness center that were implemented and published in the park district brochure."
Gaining actual hands-on experience is important for students to gain a better appreciation for working with clients, working within a budget and working under deadline.
"This hands-on opportunity is important so students can truly experience what it is like to work with an actual client who has their own ideas and expectations, and to work to develop their ideas within a given promotional budget that can range from a few thousand dollars to no dollars at all," Fulmer said.
"There are also other challenges along the way such as the importance of teamwork and communication," she added. "Client information may be limited. Then the project must be completed and professionally presented not only to the client, but to the chair of the MBA program here at Benedictine.
"At times, managing all of these aspects can be daunting," she added. "But it does parallel the experiences we are faced with on the job."
While her students are busy serving other clients, Fulmer is busy ensuring that her clients – the students – gain a broader appreciation for the marketing field.
"I view the student as my customer," she said. "It is my responsibility and hope that students' knowledge in the area of marketing will grow and they will have a full appreciation for this field of study. Marketing is so much more than a mannequin in a window or that telemarketer calling at dinner time.
"Marketing is an exciting, challenging, creative and dynamic field of study," Fulmer added. "There is always something new happening and everyone is impacted by it each and every day. I want the students to have that "Aha" moment where those marketing connections are made."

Celebrate the Grand Opening of Maple Leaf Reservoir Park in Costume
Come celebrate the grand opening of Maple Leaf Reservoir Park, located at Roosevelt Way Northeast and Northeast 82nd Street, on Sunday, Oct. 27, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Kids are encouraged to don their Halloween costumes for this event.
Take part in the Maple Leaf neighborhood's annual Parade of Costumes (at 1 p.m.) before the park event. At the grand opening, enjoy a performance by Counterbalance Barbershop Quartet, a ribbon cutting ceremony, light refreshments and family entertainment.
The celebration will include the dedication of Patrick Marold's site-specific artwork, Confluent Boulders. Inspired by the two water sources that feed the Maple Leaf Reservoir, the sculpture comprises two boulders taken from the Tolt River and Cedar River watersheds.
Seattle Public Utilities is in the process of replacing its open reservoirs with underground structures to improve the quality and security of Seattle's water supply. That replacement also provides space on which a park can be built. The Maple Leaf Reservoir Park Development Project transforms the reservoir lid's 16 acres of open space into a neighborhood park for northeast Seattle.
Seattle Parks, the Berger Partnership and the community worked together to create a comprehensive plan for the new park, including the existing Maple Leaf Playground. The community's vision of sweeping views, waves of grasses and places to soar inspired a design theme of "Wind, Waves and Wings."
The new neighborhood park includes many exciting features and diverse ways to enjoy the space. The park's upper portion contains a series of rain gardens, a shelter, a gathering plaza and a viewpoint that highlights Mount Rainier and Lake Washington. The park's sport court area includes a pickle ball court, a hitting wall and basketball hoops. Pathways weave through plantings and trees. Two staircases connect the upper and lower levels of the park. The lower level includes a play area and two ballfields. The play area was completed in spring 2013. The ballfields are expected to be ready for use in spring 2014.
The Parks and Green Spaces Levy provided $5 million to plan, design and construct Maple Leaf Reservoir Park. For more information visit www.seattle.gov/parks/projects/maple_leaf_reservoir.

In addition to federal, state, city and death taxes, there are 59 other varieties. Relatively few taxes, however, account for the bulk of the burden on citizens. This is what I routinely advise my clients who include retirees, people planning for retirement, physicians, business owners and other professionals.
I think my fellow Americans deserve a shot at keeping more of their money.
When I came to the United States, I had less than $10 in my pocket, but I had an excellent education as an engineer. When I married a physician, I realized how expensive it is to make a good living here.
Since this country has given me so much, I wanted to repay my fellow Americans with strategies for keeping more of their own money.
I have identified, in my opinion, some of the most expensive and common tax hurdles affecting Americans. Keeping this in mind, may I offer this advice on troubleshooting our tax system.
1. Problem: The IRA tax: great on the front end, terrible down the road.
Solution: An IRA is tax-deferred, which means it will accumulate value over time. But when you withdraw from it, you will be heavily penalized with high taxes. That's why you should convert this asset to a Roth IRA, which allows your money to grow tax-free. Since the money put in was already taxed you don't have to pay any taxes when you take it out, and, overall, you'll save a significant amount of money.
2. Problem: Too many people don't take advantage of creating tax-free income via insurance products.
Solution: From a financial perspective, retirees and professional planners run into a significant issue: seniors, blessed with good health, who outlive their money. But with certain insurance products, retirees can create tax-free income while covering the later years of retirement — and protect their wealth if they become severely ill. There are certain insurance products tied to the stock market that can help people accumulate assets in the long run. Many of these products offer a tremendous upside for potential without the downside of increased risk.
3. Problem: Missed opportunities — people who don't take advantage of free money in a 401(k).
Solution: Perhaps the company you work for is, like many others, bureaucratic to the point of being impractical. Your employer may not have done the best job communicating details about benefits such as matching 401(k) contributions, or you may not have taken the time to learn them. Now's the time. This is free money! If your employer is offering a 50 percent match on your first 6 percent of contributions to the 401(k), you should be contributing at least 6 percent. Educate yourself on your company's plan, so you too can take full advantage.

2008 Honda Accord Coupe and Sedan
thegraduate Posts: 9,731
gwinbear Posts: 16(I wish we could see a horse power chart for the I4 190hp engine! It charts HP and torque as RPM goes from 0 to red-line. I think it is useful information and someone has to have it???)
Can't we just ask the dealer? After all, it's an excellent marketing item. (but who'll be liable for attaining it?) Imagine, "no dyno chart, no deal!" -
robertsmx Posts: 5,525A sales person is unlikely to have it, unless Honda released it in PR (they do a lot more than that in Japanese market).
The 190 HP version has two possibilities. One, it is a design taken from European Accord, which still had VTEC on intake cam only. Or, it is similar to the 205 HP engine in TSX, which is the same engine but with higher compression and uses VTEC on intake as well as exhaust cams. Based on all that I have read, the former is more likely.
In a typical Honda engine that produces peak power beyond 6000 rpm, I have noticed that whatever the peak torque, at least 90% of it arrives at 2500 rpm (this is true even in a 8400 rpm design in the new Civic Type-R, even though the peak arrives at 6100 rpm officially).
So, with the 177 HP version, you're virtually guaranteed at least 90% of maximum torque from about 2500 rpm to 6500 rpm. Add 300-400 rpm more for the 190 HP. Thats typical.
There are some engines that defy this norm, and one of them is the 2.4-liter engine in TSX. It generates 90% of its peak torque at just 2000 rpm, and maintains as much or more of it thru 7000 rpm. This is an official dyno of the 205 HP/2.4-liter engine in TSX as released five years ago. At the time we got it with 200 HP as well. The Accord I-4 should be similar except under 2500 rpm (and slightly lower as well). -
glennglenn Posts: 55BVD Says: " I have been very impressed with the 4cyl engine, many that have rode with me, have thought I had a 6cyl. I am like no, this is a 4cyl. In fact, I drove the V6 accord and found it not as torque in the low range from start, but I really didn't push it though. Anyone that gets the 4cyl on the 08, will be more than happy, but like others have said, its what your used to. Form your own opinion. "
I have BOTh an 06 4 banger in the EX Version and a 07 V-6 Se model (Sedans) and the difference between the 4 and the 6 is dramatic. From 0-20 there's not much BUT once the VTEC 6 gets going, its like night and day from the 4. The v-6 doesn't stop pulling once you hit 80 whereas my 4 really starts to labor at that point (revs high and gets noisy) . I know the gas mileage is better on the 4, but its not that much better than the 6 to sacrifice 1.5 seconds to 60 another 2 seconds in the qtr mile. I'd go with the 6 anyday (at least pre 2008 models) since the fuelsavings are NOT that dramatic. I can't comment on the 2008 4 with 190 HP since I haven't driven one, BUT I would imagine the dramatic difference between the 08 v-6 and the 08 i-4 is just as great as pre- 2008 models. Note too that I have dusted many a TL (non-S model) with my V-6 2007 SE sedan. Must be the lighter weight and close HP to the Acura.

robertsmx Posts: 5,525Indeed they are related. But just because someone has a paint brush and a variety of colors, doesn't mean he's got the painting done. :P
HP and speed are two of the most important things when it comes to performance. You can forget about torque. As for shiftless driving, you're right. If you are ok with lower performance, you could leave the car in top gear. But count me out. It might be ok to negotiate minor hills etc, but for passing power, second or third gear are usually optimal. Don't believe me? Here's a little fun data for you (from AutoCar UK road test of current Accord Diesel). The following are times taken to accelerate...
30 mph to 50 mph
Gear 3: 4.0s
Gear 4: 7.2s
40 mph to 60 mph
Gear 4: 6.1s
Gear 5: 10.2s
You still think it is better idea to just leave the car in top gear, when power really matters? -
robertsmx Posts: 5,525In my previous post I said, power and speed are key to performance. And it is gearing that relates them. It is easy for a lot of folks to be hung up on torque, but they don't realize it is only as good as the amount of power it translates to. That is exactly the reason one won't win races driving around a Prius that operates at 100 rpm even though it would have a whopping 298 lb-ft on tap, when compared to a similarly heavy car but with half the torque but 200 HP.
Power defines the balance between force (thrust at the wheels) and rate (wheel speed). Gearing helps achieve it. -
thegraduate Posts: 9,731I'd go with the 6 anyday (at least pre 2008 models) since the fuelsavings are NOT that dramatic.
But the initial cost IS pretty dramatic. $2k off the top, THEN start adding fuel savings.That was it for me. I wanted a cloth interior, and a moonroof. I went from there looking at cars. The LXV6 was a good two grand more than the EX cloth 4-cyl I went with. Getting 40MPG on more than one occasion yet still having more than enough power to successfully make any passing moves and merge without sweating means the 4-cyl was right for me. -
thegraduate Posts: 9,731
carzzz Posts: 282Last gen V6s were underrated. J32 puts about 10 more hp on the wheel than J30. Gen 7 Accord actually puts out 255-260 on premium (ie TL puts 270) under the old rating system. Back to the topic, recently, another site make a dyno run on an 08 Accord V6 and put out 210ish on the wheel, whereas the Gen 7 V6 get a hair below 200 with premium. So, that's why the new V6 perform marginally better than older V6 despite of .5L increase in displacement.
gwinbear Posts: 16One thing I noticed about Honda's peak engine output is that they put torque above horsepower until around low 160 ft/lbs, at least for the Inline 4. Case in point:
The 2008 Accord puts out 161 ft/lbs (4300 rpm); 190hp
The 1998 Accord (LX) puts out 152 ft/lbs (4500rpm); 150hp (F23A)
The late S2000 puts out 162 ft/lbs (6200 rpm); 240 hp (F20C)
The 1990 Acura Legend puts out 162 ft/lbs (4500 rpm), 160hp (C27A, this is V6)
I've been long suspected that it is how Honda preserve their cars' optimum handling dynamics at low to mid-range rpms, but I can't prove it technically. -
gotoyota Posts: 280In a typical Honda engine that produces peak power beyond 6000 rpm, I have noticed that whatever the peak torque, at least 90% of it arrives at 2500 rpm (this is true even in a 8400 rpm design in the new Civic Type-R, even though the peak arrives at 6100 rpm officially).
robertsmx, your posts are always technically informative and interesting to read. But this post just doesn't sit well with me. If Honda's VTEC engines all make 90% of their peak torque from 2-2.5K and beyond, then why is it that every Honda VTEC I have driven has felt so soft at the lower spectrum of the rev range? I was all hot for a 97 Prelude SH at one point years ago because I loved the handling, the sound of the engine and the stats looked good on paper. I went to drive one, fully intending to come home with it. I was definately happy with the handling and the engine note, but completely disappointed with the soft power delivery below about 4k. I didn't buy it - ended up with my VQ powered 97 Maxima that I still drive (til the wheels fall off or the engine explodes - whichever comes first). I know those are old cars, but the newer VTEC's have that same sensation of waiting for the real power to come on at 4000+ RPM's, and feel relatively tame below that. As I have mentioned in past posts, I just bought my wife an 07 Sienna to replace her '04 Odyssey and the difference between the two engines is night and day. One of the minor gripes I've always had about the Ody was the relatively sluggish off the line power - it really loves to rev after about 4300 rpm's and sounds great like all Honda engines do, but below that it feels much slower. The non-VTEC engined Honda's I've driven did not exhibit this peakiness. -
thegraduate Posts: 9,731
bristol2 Posts: 736But peak torque has nothing to do with comfortable cruising speed.
Just to add some fuel to the torque vs. gearing arguement....
It's true that gearing is essential to getting the power of the engine to ground but if the engine is generating less torque there is less power to put through the gearing!
Torque is absolutely essential to speed at low revs regardless of gearing, gearing may make it more or less effective in generating speed but less torque is never a positive attribute in generating speed.
Diesels generate more torque, hence diesel trucks pull and push harder and diesel cars generate more speed at lower revs. -
robertsmx Posts: 5,525Since you mention SH trim, I can assume it mated to manual transmission only. Here is official dyno of the H22A that was used in 1997+ Prelude (from Japanese website, so units are different). But, it is the shape of the torque curve that matters, here it is:
It produces 90% or better from 2500 rpm thru about 7000 rpm. It jumps up a bit between about 5000 rpm thru 6500 rpm (peaks around 5500 rpm). Thats typical of DOHC VTEC engines.
A lot of times, you can't feel what the engine is doing due to the fact that is gearing. Or, the car may be heavier (both being the case between Sienna and Odyssey). Honda does not gear its automatic transmission aggressively enough like many others do, and while that helps benefit in highway passing it doesn't improve off the line performance.
And this dyno tells you even more, an example of Honda V6 producing 90% of its peak torque at just 2000 rpm. That is for the new Accord Coupe (compared to 2005 G35 Coupe's dyno which is in blue). But again, this is a classic example of Honda being more aggressive with engine/transmission with manual transmission for sportier performance than with auto which has compromises built in.
Here is one of my favorite "shapes", and it is for 2.0-liter i-VTEC which was used in Japanese market Integra (RSX) Type-R (also used in Civic Type-R and Accord Euro-R). It is also used in the new Civic Type-R with a little bump in output, and we get a detuned version in Civic Si.
Note how the torque curve attains a peak before 3000 rpm, then settles down a bit in the mid range, and goes back up again at high rpm. Simply looking at peak ratings (220 HP @ 8000 rpm, 152 lb-ft @ 7000 rpm) makes the engine sound like it is peaky and lacking low end. The fact is, it has 95% of that peak at about 2800 rpm (or about 145 lb-ft).
I have more than a dozen examples like this from Honda's bin to make my point. BTW, Odyssey's 3.5/V6 evolved from the 3.5/V6 used in 2001 MDX. That engine was rated: 240 HP @ 5300 rpm, 245 lb-ft @ 3000 rpm to 5000 rpm. In this case, not only that 90% or more of peak torque was available from 2000 rpm, 100% of it was available between 3000 to 5000 rpm. That wasn't even a peak, it was a plain. Although, tuning did differ for Odyssey. -

Seinfeld's CiCGC pairs Alec Baldwin with 1970 Mercedes-Benz SL
For both comedy and car fans, Jerry Seinfeld and his "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" web series has been a car-filled, caffeine-fueled, laugh-fest. The trend continues in the two latest installments of his unusual unscripted series.
In the first video seen above, Jerry picks up actor Alec Baldwin in a Signal Red Mercedes-Benz 280SL Roadster. The two exchange anecdotes about their shared hometown of Massapequa, New York and of a Kirk Douglas-Burt Lancaster rivalry. Baldwin also considers his mortality and calls Seinfeld a "lazy, shiftless bastard." Baldwin also decrees that he is the most articulate person in the Screen Actors Guild, and talks about the jealousy induced by watching his neighbors play on a Slip 'n' Slide.
Click here to see the video of the two prolific funny men talk over coffee and while tooling around in Seinfeld's cherry 280 SL.
Additionally, we've added a recent episode of the web series that you might have missed, and this time Jerry is on the West Coast at the wheel of a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A. Powered by a 340 Six Pack, Seinfeld picks up standup comic Brian Regan.

A small proportion of the population are responsible for the vast majority of lies
A few years ago Kim Serota and his colleagues put a figure on this. They surveyed a thousand US citizens and found that five per cent of the sample were responsible for 50 per cent of all lies told. Now Serota's group have analysed data from nearly 3000 people in the UK and they've found the same pattern - the existence in the population of a minority of extremely prolific liars.
This new online survey is based on data collected as part of a public engagement project by the Science Museum in London in the Spring of 2010. Participants (51 per cent were female; average age 44.5) reported how often they told little white lies and how often they told big lies, as well as sharing their attitudes to, and experiences of lying.
The spread of answers was clearly skewed. Serota's statistical analysis showed that 9.7 per cent of the UK sample were prolific liars. They averaged 6.32 little white lies per day and 2.86 big lies per day, compared with an average of 1.16 daily white lies and 0.15 daily big lies (about one per week) by the majority group of everyday liars. This means the prolific liars tell an average of 19 big lies for each single big lie by the everyday liars. The two groups generally agreed what counts as a big lie, with lying about whether you love someone being the most popular example.
The research also uncovered some intriguing differences between prolific and everyday liars. Prolific liars were more likely to be younger, male and to work in more senior occupational roles, although note these differences were modest. Prolific liars tended not to see lying as something that people grow out of. They were also most likely to lie to their partners and children (whereas everyday liars were most likely to lie to their mothers). Prolific liars were also more likely to say that their lying had landed them in trouble, including losing jobs and relationships.
Caution is required because of the different survey methods used, but this new research also allows a cross-cultural comparison between US and UK lying. Combining everyday and prolific liars, it seems that people lie more frequently in the UK - just over two lies per day on average, compared with an average of between one and two lies per day in the US, based on Serota's earlier research. Another statistic - 24.4 per cent of the UK sample said they didn't lie on a typical day, compared with 59.9 per cent of the US sample.
An obvious problem with this research is its dependence on people's honesty about how often they lie. We're in a somewhat bizarre situation of trusting prolific liars' answers about their own lying. However, Serota and his colleague Tim Levine reassure us that past research has generally found self-reported lying to be fairly accurate. When more objective or third-party measures of lying are deployed, these usually correlate well with people's self-reported lying rates. The current survey was anonymous, which would have helped.
The finding that lying frequency is distributed unevenly in the population has serious implications for deception research, most of which assumes that lying propensity is a "normally distributed" trait more like height or weight. "These data provide a strong case that the people who tell a lot of lies are not only different," said Serota and Levine, "they are a population that needs to be studied independently of everyday liars in order to better understand the motivation and production of lies." I wonder if future research might find that "prolific liars" are the same people who score highly on the Dark Triad of personality traits - psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism?_________________________________
