Travel Guide Caribbean Guadeloupe
Named 'The Island of Beautiful Waters' by the Carib Indians who inhabited it at the time of its discovery, Guadeloupe's 'beautiful waters' are now the island's major attraction for overseas visitors. Whether you want to relax on the beach, enjoy a swim in the warm Caribbean, or test your surfing skills on one of the island's first-rate surfing spots, you should basically count on spending most of your time in, on, or next to the water. Of course, a hiking excursion to the summit of La Soufrière, Guadeloupe's active volcano, is a must. And Guadeloupe's interesting mix of cultures (the people are a hybrid of French, African and East Indian) makes for a varied and unique people group. But nothing beats the Caribbean attraction.
During his second trip to America, seeking fresh water in November 1493, Christopher Columbus became the first European to land on Guadeloupe. He called it Santa María de Guadalupe de Extremadura, after the image of the Virgin Mary venerated at the Spanish monastery of Villuercas, in Guadalupe, Extremadura. The expedition set ashore just south of Capesterre but did not leave any settlers ashore.
After successful settlement on the island of St Christophe (Saint Kitts), the French Company of the American Islands delegated Charles Lienard and Jean Duplessis, Lord of Ossonville to colonize one or any of the region's islands, Guadeloupe, Martinique or Dominica. Due to Martinique's inhospitable nature, the duo resolved to settle in Guadeloupe in 1635, took possession of the island and wiped out many of the Carib Amerindians. It was annexed to the kingdom of France in 1674. Over the next century, the island was seized several times by the British. The economy benefited from the hugely lucrative sugar trade introduced during the closing decades of the seventeenth century: one indication of Guadeloupe's prosperity at this time is that in the Treaty of Paris (1763), France, defeated in war, agreed to abandon its territorial claims in Canada in return for British return of Guadeloupe which was captured in 1759.
On 4 February 1810 the British once again seized the island and continued to occupy it until 1816. By the Anglo-Swedish alliance of 3 March 1813, it was ceded to Sweden for a brief period of 15 months. The British administration continued in place and British governors continued to govern the Island. By the Treaty of Paris of 1814 Sweden ceded Guadeloupe once more to France.
In 1946 the colony of Guadeloupe became an overseas department of France, and in 1974 it became an administrative center. Its deputies sit in the French National Assembly in Paris. On 15 July 2007 the island communes of Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy were officially detached from Guadeloupe and became two separate French overseas collectivities with their own local administration, henceforth separated from Guadeloupe.
Located as the southernmost of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean Sea, Guadeloupe comprises two main islands: Basse-Terre Island, Grande-Terre (separated from Basse-Terre by a narrow sea channel called Salt River) forming Guadeloupe proper. The adjacent French islands of La Désirade, Les Saintes and Marie-Galante come under jurisdiction of Guadeloupe.
Basse-Terre has a rough volcanic relief whilst Grande-Terre features rolling hills and flat plains. Guadeloupe was formed from multiple volcanoes, of which only Basse-Terre is not extinct.
Guadeloupe consists of 2 arondissements. It had a third one, the Arrondissement of Saint-Martin-Saint-Barthélemy, until they officially detached from Guadeloupe in February 2007.
Le Moule once was an early French capital of Guadeloupe. Besides that, it was an important Native American settlement before the colonial period. It is one of the most authentic provincial towns on Guadeloupe and has a bustling main street, fish market and a scenic harbor. There have been archaeological excavations in the region and Guadeloupe's archaeological museum, on the outskirts of town, is well worth a visit.
The town square has several historic buildings, including the town hall and a Neoclassical Catholic church. Along the river are some ruins from an old customs building and a fortress dating back to the French colonial times. Nearby is tranquil beach with reef-protected waters at L'Autre Bord, about one kilometer out of town. Baie du Moule, on the west side of town is equally popular, mainly with kayakers and surfers.
Jacques Cousteau made Pigeon Island world famous several decades ago by declaring it to be one of the world's top dive sites. The waters surrounding the island are now protected as the Reserve Cousteau. The place is an underwater paradise teeming with fish and coral reefs to explore. Naturally, snorkelling and diving are the main activities here but the island itself is just as nice to relax a bit and enjoy the sun.
Guadeloupe has some fine beaches. Although some like St. Anne are very touristy and packed with people on most days, there are some more secluded areas the further you go from the main towns and tourist spots. Grande Anse is one of the most beautiful beaches of the island with white sands, palm trees and turquoise waters.
Guadeloupe has some fine examples of refreshing waterfalls, which makes for a welcome relief after a bus ride or drive by car. Some of them are just near the road while others are set deep in the hilly jungle and require some more strenuous walking. Either way, having been to Guadeloupe without seeing any waterfall is a shame and almost impossible!
Guadeloupe has a hot and humid tropical climate with average daytime temperatures throughout the year of 30 °C and average nights around 23 °C. Most rain falls between June and October with a change of hurricanes from August onwards. Therefore, the drier (and slightly cooler) December to April period is the best time to visit weather wise. Unfortunately prices rise sharply during this period and the months of November and May still have good weather. So budget wise these latter months may be a good option as well.
Air Caraibes is the major airline of the French Caribbean and Guadeloupe is its main base. Among the other French islands, it has direct flights to Cayenne in French Guiana and to Paris in France. Other destinations include Stockholm, Copenhagen, Havana and Panama City. Air Antilles serves Saint Lucia and several French islands.
L'Express des Iles operates almost daily services between the islands of Dominica and Guadeloupe. They leave Roseau, the capital of Dominica on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 3:00pm (Saturday 1:00pm) and take about 2.5 hours. In the opposite direction, they leave Pointe-a-Pitre in Guadeloupe at Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 8:00am (Sundays 10:00am) and take under 2 hours.
L'Express des Iles has regular services between Pointe-a-Pitre and Fort-de-France, the capital of Martinique. They leave almost daily around 8:00am and arrive around 11:45am. The ferries first go to Dominica, travelling onwards to Martinique.
L'Express des Iles has at least 3-4 weekly services to Castries. It's the same ferry which goes to Dominica and Martinique, thus leaving around 8:00am from Pointe-a-Pitre. It arrives in Castries around 3:00pm.
From Point-a-Pitre internatioanl airport there are domestic services to La Désirade, Terre-de-Haut and Marie-Galante with a number of airlines, including Air Caraibes and Air Guadeloupe.
Renting a car is very good way to cover both Basse Terre and Grande Terre and there are numerous agencies in the airport and the capital, both local as well as international. Prices are reasonable, especially if you are with 2 or more people sharing costs. Traffic drives on the right. and the roads in Guadeloupe are of good quality. A national driver's licence is enough.
Guadeloupe has an efficient, reliable and cheap bus system with several lines running frequently all days, except Sundays. Most major towns and cities are connected by road from Point-a-Pitre and many other places on both Grande Terre as well as Basse Terre. There are also buses on Marie-Galante every day except Sunday. For an overview, check thebusschedule.com.
Taxis are available in and around Point-a-Pitre and the airport but are expensive.
L'Express des Iles has daily services between the main island of Guadeloupe and several other islands. To the Iles des Saintes, there are daily connections leaving Pointe-a-Pitre (Grande-Terre) for Terre de Haut at 8:00am. In the opposite direction they leave Terre de Haut at 4:00pm.
There are two crossings daily (one in the morning and one in the late afternoon) as well between Terre de Haut and Trois Rivières (Basse-Terre) and between Terre de Bas and Trois Rivières.
From Terre de Haut you can take another local ferry to Terre de Bas as well.
Other connections include the ferry from Point-a-Pitre to Grand Bourg on the island of Marie Galante, which travels 3 times on weekdays, one of which is via Saint Louis. During weekends, especially on Sundays, there are less services.
Trois Rivières and Marie Galante are connected by ferries as well.
There are also daily regular ferries to Grande Anse on the island of La Desirade, east of Grande-Terre with Le Colibri. You can contact them at 357947 in Port de Peche. Iguana is another ferry operator between several islands, including connections between St Francois and Terre de Haut and Marie Galante and La Desirade and between St Anne and Terre de Haut and Marie Galante and La Desirade.
From Sainte Anne and/or Saint Louis in the west of Grande Terre you can take ferries to most of the above mentioned places, like La Desirade, Marie Galante and Iles del les Saintes. To add, there are also ferries to Petite Terre between Grand Terre and La Desirade, that make brief stops here.
CTM Deher has services between Basse Terre and Les Saintes several times daily.

As an Overseas Department of France, Guadeloupe has adopted the Euro (ISO code: EUR, symbol: €) as its official currency. One Euro is divided into 100 cents, which is sometimes referred to as eurocents, especially when distinguishing them with the US cents.
Euro banknotes come in denominations of €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200, €500. The highest three denominations are rarely used in everyday transactions. All Euro banknotes have a common design for each denomination on both sides throughout the Eurozone.
The Euro coins are 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, €1 and €2. Some countries in the Eurozone have law which requires cash transactions to be rounded to the nearest 5 cents. All Euro coins have a common design on the denomination (value) side, while the opposite side may have a different image from one country to another. Although the image side may be different, all Euro coins remain legal tender throughout the Eurozone.

There are no vaccinations legally required to travel to Guadeloupe. There is one exception though. You need a yellow fever vaccination if you have travelled to a country (7 days or less before entering Guadeloupe) where that disease is widely prevalent.
It's a good thing to get your vaccinations in order before travelling to Guadeloupe. The general vaccination against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio (DTP) is recommended. Also a hepatitis A vaccination is recommended and vaccination against hepatitis B and typhoid are also sometimes recommended for stays longer than 3 months.
Dengue sometimes occurs as well. There is no vaccination, so buy mosquito repellent (preferably with 50% DEET), and sleep under a net. Also wear long sleeves if possible.
Finally, other possible health issues include diarrhea and other general travellers' diseases like motion sickness. Watch what you eat and drink and in case you get it, drink plenty of fluids (to prevent dehydration) and bring ORS.

- This article concerns ischemia of the small bowel. See ischemic colitis for ischemia of the large bowel
Mesenteric ischemia (or mesenteric ischaemia - British English) is a medical condition in which inflammation and injury of the small intestine occurs due to inadequate blood supply.[1][2] Causes of the reduced blood flow can include changes in the systemic circulation (e.g. low blood pressure) or local factors such as constriction of blood vessels or a blood clot. It is more common in the elderly.[3][4]
Signs and symptoms[edit]
Three progressive phases of ischemic colitis have been described:[5][6]
- A hyper active stage occurs first, in which the primary symptoms are severe abdominal pain and the passage of bloody stools. Many patients get better and do not progress beyond this phase.
- A paralytic phase can follow if ischemia continues; in this phase, the abdominal pain becomes more widespread, the belly becomes more tender to the touch, and bowel motility decreases, resulting in abdominal bloating, no further bloody stools, and absent bowel sounds on exam.
- Finally, a shock phase can develop as fluids start to leak through the damaged colon lining. This can result in shock and metabolic acidosis with dehydration, low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and confusion. Patients who progress to this phase are often critically ill and require intensive care.
Clinical findings[edit]
Symptoms of mesenteric ischemia vary and can be acute (especially if embolic),[7] subacute, or chronic.[8]
Case series report prevalence of clinical findings and provide the best available, yet biased, estimate of the sensitivity of clinical findings.[9][10] In a series of 58 patients with mesenteric ischemia due to mixed causes:[10]
- abdominal pain was present in 95% (median of 24 hours duration). The other three patients presented with shock and metabolic acidosis.
- nausea in 44%
- vomiting in 35%
- diarrhea in 35%
- heart rate > 100 in 33%
- 'blood per rectum' in 16% (not stated if this number also included occult blood - presumably not)
- constipation 7%
Diagnostic heuristics[edit]
In the absence of adequate quantitative studies to guide diagnosis, various heuristics help guide diagnosis:
- Mesenteric ischemia "should be suspected when individuals, especially those at high risk for acute mesenteric ischemia, develop severe and persisting abdominal pain that is disproportionate to their abdominal findings"[2]
- Regarding mesenteric arterial thrombosis or embolism: "...early symptoms are present and are relative mild in 50% of cases for three to four days before medical attention is sought".[11]
- Regarding mesenteric arterial thrombosis or embolism: "Any patient with an arrhythmia such as atrial fibrillation who complains of abdominal pain is highly suspected of having embolization to the superior mesenteric artery until proved otherwise".[11]
- Regarding nonocclusive intestinal ischemia: "Any patient who takes digitalis and diuretics and who complains of abdominal pain must be considered to have nonocclusive ischemia until proved otherwise".[11]
It is difficult to diagnose mesenteric ischemia early.[12] One must also differentiate ischemic colitis, which often resolves on its own, from the more immediately life-threatening condition of acute mesenteric ischemia of the small bowel.
Blood tests[edit]
In a series of 58 patients with mesenteric ischemia due to mixed causes:[10]
- White blood cell count >10.5 in 98% (probably an overestimate as only tested in 81% of patients)
- Lactic acid elevated 91% (probably an overestimate as only tested in 57% of patients)
During endoscopy[edit]
A number of devices have been used to assess the sufficiency of oxygen delivery to the colon. The earliest devices were based on tonometry, and required time to equilibrate and estimate the pHi, roughly an estimate of local CO2 levels. The first device approved by the U.S. FDA (in 2004) used visible light spectroscopy to analyze capillary oxygen levels. Use during Aortic Aneurysm repair detected when colon oxygen levels fell below sustainable levels, allowing real-time repair. In several studies, specificity has been 83% for chronic mesenteric ischemia and 90% or higher for acute colonic ischemia, with a sensitivity of 71%-92%. This device must be placed using endoscopy, however.[13][14][15]
Plain x-ray[edit]
Plain X-rays are often normal or show non-specific findings.[16]
Computed tomography[edit]
Computed tomography (CT scan) is often used.[17][18] The accuracy of the CT scan depends on whether a small bowel obstruction (SBO) is present.[19]
SBO absent
- prevalence of mesenteric ischemia 23%
- sensitivity 64%
- specificity 92%
- positive predictive value (at prevalence of 23%) 79%
- negative predictive value (at prevalence of 23%) 95%
SBO present
- prevalence of mesenteric ischemia 62%
- sensitivity 83%
- specificity 93%
- positive predictive value (at prevalence of 62%) 93%
- negative predictive value (at prevalence of 62%) 61%
Findings on CT scan include:
- Mesenteric edema[17]
- Bowel dilatation[17]
- Bowel wall thickening[17]
- Intramural gas[17]
- Mesenteric stranding[20]
Mesenteric angiography[edit]
As the etiology of the ischemia can be due to embolic or thrombotic occlusion of the mesenteric vessels or nonocclusive ichemia, the best way to differentiate between the etiologies is through the use of mesenteric angiography. Though it has serious risks, angiography provides the possibility of direct infusion of vasodilators in the setting of nonocclusive ischemia [21]
NG tube decompression, angiogram for diagnosis and treatment, heparin anticoagulation. Papaverine to decrease arterial vasospasm.
"Surgical revascularisation remains the treatment of choice for mesenteric ischaemia, but thrombolytic medical treatment and vascular interventional radiological techniques have a growing role".[22]
The prognosis depends on prompt diagnosis (less than 12–24 hours and before gangrene)[1] and the underlying cause:[23]
- venous thrombosis - 32% mortality
- arterial embolism - 54% mortality
- arterial thrombosis - 77% mortality
- non-occlusive ischemia - 73% mortality

Many transcription coactivators interact with nuclear receptors in a ligand- and C-terminal transactivation function (AF2)-dependent manner. We isolated a nuclear factor (designated ASC-2) with such properties by using the ligand-binding domain of retinoid X receptor as a bait in a yeast two-hybrid screening. ASC-2 also interacted with other nuclear receptors, including retinoic acid receptor, thyroid hormone receptor, estrogen receptor alpha, and glucocorticoid receptor, basal factors TFIIA and TBP, and transcription integrators CBP/p300 and SRC-1. In transient cotransfections, ASC-2, either alone or in conjunction with CBP/p300 and SRC-1, stimulated ligand-dependent transactivation by wild type nuclear receptors but not mutant receptors lacking the AF2 domain. Consistent with an idea that ASC-2 is essential for the nuclear receptor function in vivo, microinjection of anti-ASC-2 antibody abrogated the ligand-dependent transactivation of retinoic acid receptor, and this repression was fully relieved by coinjection of ASC-2-expression vector. Surprisingly, ASC-2 was identical to a gene previously identified during a search for genes amplified and overexpressed in breast and other human cancers. From these results, we concluded that ASC-2 is a bona fide transcription coactivator molecule of nuclear receptors, and its altered expression may contribute to the development of cancers.

End Of An Era
Thursday, December 1st, 2011
Public Release:
1st December 2011
Bad news. Bar Yumla is closing down.
Our last day in that venue is Sunday 1st January 2012.
Do you really need to ask why?! Our property was recently sold to a new owner and the new landlord (our third landlord in 9 years) jacked up the rent by almost double.
The kind of numbers on offer give us no room to renovate, improve or manoeuver Yumla into the next couple years … so basically we are giving up the space. Many good venues in HK are shutting down as I write this … there must eventually be an adjustment. As for us? We began on the fringe, now we are smack in the middle, and the middle is not somewhere a place like Yumla can easily exist!
Myself, Patricia and the many DJs & producers behind Yumla have continuing plans & ideas for the future of underground clubbing in Hong Kong – plans which simply won't fit in our existing venue. And so with no regrets now is the right time to give up our lease. The scenery in Hong Kong has changed much since 2003, and we have our sights set on something better.
The last 8+ years have been awesome! The sheer volume of collective memory attached to our little underground home is far too great to comprehend: People became couples, couples got married, kids have been born, friendships made between people from all over the planet – all brought together in our little bar because of a shared loved for underground club music. Innumerable parties have been had, numerous DJ careers started … Yumla undeniably spread the word.
There are only five weeks remaining in which to say farewell to the old gaff, so party like a pro as our ever-fantastic resident DJs do the honors. Our last event falls – quite fittingly – on New Year's Eve.
End of an era? Definitely.
End of Yumla? Definitely not.

2011 Update
Monday, May 30th, 2011Wow … seriously!? Half a year?! Perhaps the website is due for a quick update!
We get many e-mails asking what's happened to our online scheduling – which had been updated religiously every month since 2003…
Well, straight answer: Our music policy hasn't changed in years – and because ALL of our resident & new DJs are supremely talented (they kick ass) – there will always consistently be gloriously great club music filling our cosy basement between 10PM-5AM every Friday & Saturday night.
Without fail.
And despite an obvious dilution of the club, venue & party scene in recent times – Yumla quite happily prevails. It's almost embarrassing. Our unflinching & clear music policy, ever-present *cough* built-in p.a. system, indoor / outdoor park location, decent quality drinks and 24 hour liquor license … is still a unique combination in this city.
So! If you are missing out on the stream of info & dialog once offered by this website, your best recourse is to LIKE our FaceBook page. For all intents & purposes FaceBook has focused a large percentage of internet discussion into one place – just deal with it.
Click the link below for continued enlightenment & enjoy the rest of 2011!

Android has over 450,000 apps. With so many apps out there, app discovery (aka finding new and useful apps) is extremely difficult. With our Android Apps of the Day [6] initiative, dotTech aims to change that. Everyday we post three apps, allowing our readers to discover new apps, daily. Enjoy! [Subscribe to dotTech to never miss an article: RSS Feed [4] | E-mail [5]]

[9]Puzzle games are no match for you. You've long since mastered Tetris, beaten every Sudoku game your Sudoku app randomly generated, and laughed in the face of Minesweeper. However, there's a new sheriff in town, and its name is Quantro: prepare to be bested.
Quantro is a lot like Tetris, but it's different. Rather than a measly game of Tetris where you have to simply line up a row of blocks, in Quantro, you're playing two games at once: and the pieces are connected. You can also play with a friend, either over a local WiFi connection or over the internet.
If you're looking for a fun puzzle game, Quantro is a uniquely different Tetris-style game that instead expands on the idea. It's certainly quite challenging, and if you're looking for a fun challenge to try, install Quantro today.

[11]There are few social networks more prolific than Pinterest. While the site itself may not have the level of usership as Facebook or even Google+, almost everyone has heard of the site, which allows you to "pin" pictures from the web onto your virtual pinboard to share them with friends. Now, Pinterest has gone mobile with apps for Android and iOS.
Find a cool recipe you want to share with friends? Pin a photo of it–that way, instead of a boring old link, your friends get to see a picture of a delicious brownie, cake, or other desert, and get a link to the instructions. (I'm hungry now.)
While the Pinterest app may not be interesting for people new to the network, it's a great way to expand your interest for pinning photos to your phone. It allows you to create new pins from the web, view other's pins, and also pin with your camera. If you're looking for a way to bring your pinning mobile, it's arrived.

[13]In Rune Keeper, you are the mystical Keeper of the Runes. Since times of yore, your family has kept the secret combinations of the runes, so that if any of the mighty rulers ever once needed their help, you would be able to offer it. Now, that time is come, and you must become: the Rune Keeper.
All joking aside, there's really no backstory to Rune Keeper. It's an extremely simple game. You slide the colored runes in the center through their ever-complicating paths to form the shapes shown in the top right corner. Be warned: it might get pretty tough pretty quickly.
Rune Keeper is an interesting little game, and while I might not go so far as to call it fun and entertaining, it certainly fills the category of yet another time waster. If you're looking for a way to waste a bunch of time, Rune Keeper may hold you in and keep you.

Why Give?
Support the heart of RU with a gift from your heart to ours. Your generosity has a lasting impact in many ways.
Did you know tuition covers just 60 percent of the cost of a Rockhurst education?
The other 40 percent comes from the hearts of our generous alumni and friends.
Your gift supports:
It is through gifts from alumni and friends that Rockhurst is able to continue to provide a world-class Jesuit education.
Here are just a few examples of what this generosity made possible last year:
- 97 percent of students received financial assistance.
- 85 percent of students participated in community service, resulting in 30,000 service hours donated to the community.
- $25 million reached toward the first phase of a new academic building.
- Three new sports added to RU's athletic offerings, including women's cross country and men's and women's lacrosse.
- 35 percent of students conducted undergraduate research.
- Rockhurst's Management MBA program was ranked No. 20 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report alongside programs at Harvard, Stanford and Yale.
- The Prosperity Center for Financial Opportunity opened its doors to provide the community surrounding campus with employment and financial counseling.

Time WIll Tell LyricsArtist: Yngwie MalmsteenAlbum: Magnum Opus I've never lived the master plan I can only pray that we'll survive With every sin and whitened line, I see the future slipping by The time is nearing, what have we done Is there a reason? Someone explain? And in the end will we pay? Time will Tell I will The hands of time we can't turn back Have we all slipped through the cracks Lord have mercy, forgive us all Is there a reason? Someone explain? And in the end will we pay? Time will Tell I will There's no use looking back Everything's turning black Time's running out for us all

Minding Your P's and Q's - Express Yourself to Demonstrate Value by Joshua Waldman and Tim Muma - Mar, 2013 Amid the swarms of applicants and candidates that are fighting for jobs daily, one wonders how he or she can be heard. One way to separate yourself is by showing the value you bring to a prospective employer instead of regurgitating what you've already done. Joshua Waldman is an author (Job Searching With Social Media For Dummies), as well as a speaker and trainer, who goes around the country to help job seekers gain control o... |
Your Social Media Accounts: Clean Them Up Before Job Hunting or Leave Them As-Is? by Joshua Waldman - Jul, 2014 If you post a lot of compromising photos or inflammatory material in your social media feed, then you might be passed over for job opportunities. According to a survey by the Chartered Institute of Professional Development (CIPD), two out of every five employers looks at candidates' Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn profiles before recruiting them. At the same time, a profile that's too squeaky clean might actually turn off... |
My Interview with OpenColleges by Joshua Waldman - Jul, 2014 This interview first appeared on OpenColleges. "Most students I talk to are seniors with five people in their LinkedIn network. This is a huge mistake." 1. What is your number 1 tip for getting a job after finishing study? Don't wait until your final months to get serious about your career. I did that. I waited until my last week and made some pretty bad choices out of desperation. (Like following some girl I barely k... |
Top 3 Reasons People Don't Use Social Media for their Job Search by Joshua Waldman - Jun, 2014 Inevitably, in every audience I speak to, there are people who find some reason NOT to follow my advice on using social media for their job search. Sometimes these people really want jobs but are overwhelmed. Sometimes they simply don't want to get a job and change their situation. As long as you are willing to adopt NEW ways of doing things, NEW things will happen. To help you identify where your resistance may be... |
Not Employed, But Need a Current Position to Show by Joshua Waldman - May, 2014 On a retina tracking headmap that was released a few years ago, your current position is viewed first, after your picture and headline. That means what you claim to do now defines you and your candidacy. If you are unemployed, it can be difficult overcoming this challenge. What do you put as a current position when you don't have one? Here's an unfortunate truth, recruiters tend to favor people who are currently empl... |
I'm a Recent Grad, I Never Worked Before by Joshua Waldman - Apr, 2014 I remember the first job interview I had as a soon-to-be-minted MBA. It was with a financial investment firm in the suburbs of Boston. The first two interviews were fine, normal, followed the script. But the third and last interview didn't. My interviewer wore a full beard, not common in the financial industry. And he looked at me, pushed my resume away and said, "What's a job you took that's not on this resume?" I to... |
Yes, You Need to Pick a LinkedIn Industry by Joshua Waldman - Apr, 2014 I understand. Your industry isn't on the list of available industries on LinkedIn. Mine isn't either. The problem is that this little tid-bit of data you're leaving off makes it hard for your audience to figure out what you do. In fact, my eye often goes to a profile's Industry before I decide to accept a connection request or reply to an InMail. The Industry provides the context needed for someone to relate to... |
The Case of the Missing Education Section on Your LinkedIn Profile by Joshua Waldman - Apr, 2014 I won't lie to you and tell you that your Education section the most important section of your profile. It's not. Even for students. By itself, it's not. But as a whole, leaving this part out makes your entire profile seem incomplete. Back in the days when you could judge your profiles completeness based on a percentage, this section was worth 20% of your overall score. When you leave it out, you're giv... |
Social Media Laziness and Other Ills by Joshua Waldman - Mar, 2014 I was reading Chris Brogan's newsletter and really resonated with a paragraph of his about how using the same message across all social media platforms is just wrong. He didn't spend much time on it, though, so I want to elaborate. By the way, Chris Brogan is at the forefront of social media and internet marketing. He's been blogging since 1998 and is considered by many to be one of the leading internet marketing gurus... |
You WILL Get Googled…Are You Afraid? by Joshua Waldman - Jan, 2014 I tell my clients that they will be Googled as surely as it will rain in Portland. The latest survey said that 81% of employers WILL Google candidates. Online reputation management is a critical piece of your online job search. There is just no getting around it. Quick story, when I Googled my name 1 year ago, I was a convicted felon and a prolific New York Gynecologist, neither profession was something I wanted to be... |
You Are Not A Job Seeker! by Joshua Waldman - Jan, 2014 Ever hear the expression, "It's easier to get a job when you already have one?" Well, it's true! When I was at Cisco back in 2008, I had recruiters contacting me almost every single week. As soon as I was laid off, they disappeared. Advertising to the world, "I'm looking for a job" is the fastest way to scare recruiters off. Somehow "unemployed" became synonymous with "unemployable". This type of unemployment discriminatio... |

He arrived on time for our appointment and was very well prepared to answer any & all of our questions. He took the time to explain all the points of the product in a very professional way which I truly appreciated.

KC: The Hot News of the DC Relaunch
- Posted by Johanna on June 13, 2011 at 3:17 pm
- Category: KC
In his latest Westfield column, KC writes about the DC relaunch news and his reactions to it from the perspective of a long-time fan. He's concerned about the timing of the announcements, among other things, and ponders who the new audience is intended to be.
2 Responses to "KC: The Hot News of the DC Relaunch"
- James Schee Says:
June 13, 2011 at 4:00 PMInteresting take on things. I know I am already in my mind going "yeah I'll sample that, no I wouldn't look at at that, if only there wasn't so much I'd try that…" for the titles. Because I keep in mind that there are other publishers out there doing good stuff too, plus movies, non-comic books etc.
I guess I wonder if fanboys really win in Barbara becoming Batgirl again, as from what I've seen its been primarily the long time fans who are doing the most complaining about the move.
I'm curious about it, as of course Oracle is a better written character than Barbara was as Batgirl. That's what makes me curious about the move, as there hasn't been modern take on Barbara as Batgirl. Now of course if its all T&A and she's bowing down to Batman and being derided like the poor Huntress character has been for 2 decades then it'll be a bad move.
Yet every comic character, be it Superman, Batman, Captain America or Spider-Man goes through changes. Barbara's been in sort of a holding pattern in the chair for a couple of decades now. I think you have to shake things up now and again for every character, including her.
If it doesn't work, well I don't think it'd take that much to change again. Hopefully it'd be done a lot more wonderful than Killing Joke was.
Sorry for soap boxing, its just I see this stuff everywhere right now, and I just wanted to get my thoughts out of my head.
Now KC… what about coming up with a nickname for the new DCU? I really don't like the DCnU that's going around right now.
- Dwight Williams Says:
June 14, 2011 at 5:55 PMI know my emotional investment was and is with "Barbara-as-Oracle(whether wheelchair-bound or not)"
As for the nickname: how about "DCU v.4.0″?

Which Linux distribution do you use most frequently?
Hi, I have voted for
I have voted for "other", also Zenwalk GNU Linux.
I use two.
I prefer Ubuntu to just about any other OS, but I also use Damn Small Linux (DSL).
I use Linux Mint (Ubuntu
I use Linux Mint (Ubuntu derivative).
Sabayon Linux
I use Sabayon Linux! www.sabayonlinux.org
My Best IS " " P A R D U S " "
In 2001 I started using linux with Suse, then I tried Mandrake, Redhat, Ubuntu..
For two years my BEST CHOICE is " p a r d u s "
I use Pardus ;P
Its the best linux distribution I've ever tested ( Like; suse, ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu).
So PARDUS FOR FREEEDDOOOOOMM!! :D
The Linux distribution I use
The Linux distribution I use most frequently is Puppy Linux 3.01.
Consider using PLD linux - it really rocks. Especially well-prepared, modularized kernel with useful patch-o-matic patches, SELinux and so on.
I use it everywhere I can in production environment.
BTW. This post is sent using Ubuntu box, as I use i at work as workstation. PLD is awesome for server machines.
ubuntu is full of mono
ubuntu is full of mono dependencies.. it doesn't work with them removed.. fail ..no software patents XD
debian.. for 9 years on both webservers and desktop
hmm...actually im using
hmm...actually im using slackware for my desktop n ubuntu for my TOSHIBA L310. But since most of day i spent @ office n my lappie...so i use ubuntu on my lappie most frequently
All :)
Currently I use Mint 6, SystemRescueCD and other LiveCD :]
Kubuntu yehooo
Yehoooooo Kubuntu is more popular.........
There's a letter in the most recent LJ , a guy is complaining about LJ writing about Ubuntu and using Ubuntu as examples and I think this proves they should continue to so or even more , LJ readers are mostly Ubuntu users and for obvious reasons. Because it's the best. Period.
Which distro?
Well, I selected CentOS because we use that on 99% of our servers.
Mint 5 was easier than Fedora 6 on my workstation. Then tried out Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit, now running CrunchBang and dang it's stable as all get-out. Building second workstation for my cube on the side with Gentoo, bit of a learning curve that one.
Linux Mint 6 and I'm waiting

Linux Mint!!
Linux Mint! I love it!
Linux Mint 6 Main (Felicia)
Linux Mint es espectacular. Gracias a esta maravillosa distribución me estoy deshaciendo de WinXP. ¿Por qué no Ubuntu? Ubuntu es pesado, incluso Xubuntu.
(Sorry my english) Linux Mint is awesome. Thank this distribution I'm getting away from WinXP. ¿Why not Ubuntu? Because Ubuntu is so much heavy, even Xubuntu version.
which distro ?
I'm finalizing a testing round of all the major distro's on a P2-64 + SATA + 2 GB RAM. I am not so demanding, but everything should work without command line. CrossOver, VLC, Filezilla, and recently Streamtuner/Streamripper have to work out of their box, without any problem. Guess which distro is the remainer and my winner: Yess, Mint 6 Felicia.

Linux Mint 6 Felicia
While I wasn't a Linux Mint convert by choice, per se (accidentally overwrote my WinXP install instead of installing alongside it), I must say that I'm missing WinXP less and less every day. I'm looking forward to Mint 7.
I've got four that I use with none having any particular lead over any other: Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat and CentOS. The first two I use more-or-less interchangeably as desktop systems and home servers, and the latter two I use more-or-less interchangeably as production servers and test platforms respectively at work. (I'd use Debian as a server more, but it's not up to me, although other divisions of our company do use it in the server room.)
I've nearly gotten to the point where I can build either (or both) .debs or .rpms in my sleep. :)
Linux Mint XFCE
Ubuntu 8.10 didn't support the Wifi on my hp dv7 out of the box, which Linux Mint Felicia (XFCE) did. I've also got an older IBM Thinkpad R52 (2 gig ram and it runs like a brand new lap-top), which took 20 minutes to get installed and hooked to the wifi with Felicia.
Love it. :)
Linux, not ready for Desktop.
Need To do much more jobs on "User Experience". which is much more better its security and stable
Not ready for Desktop?
And you would tell me you have tried Linux Mint on your desktop? It is the distro that allowed me to walk away from crashable Windoze forever!

Not sure how to vote. I use OpenSuSE 11.x and Ubuntu about evenly, with PCLinuxOS behind those.

Ubuntu is the iPhone of Linux Distros! Slick, trendy, and for noobs :P
CentOS at work, Gentoo at home
Why spend time with friends when there's Gentoo?
Thanks for that elitist drivel. Some of us have better things to do then spend our whole weekends compiling ports.
Until I can pop it into a system and have it working flawlessly within the hour you can stick your Gentoo up your holier than thou ass!
If Ubuntu is "for noobs",
If Ubuntu is "for noobs", then how come so many people like me who have been using Linux since forever like it and use it? Not that I've got anything against Gentoo (except, sometimes, the misplaced arrogance of some of its fans), but I built Linux systems by hand back before there were any distributions, and frankly, I'm happy to have a simpler path these days.

Re: Crunchbang!
CrunchBang is awesome.
Which Linux
I am using Cronos Linux v0.1
Gentoo on my IBM Thinkpad
Gentoo on my IBM Thinkpad X31 and my Desktop. Debian Etch on my file/print server.
I installed Pardus 2008.2 on a new computer about a month ago because PCLinuxOS 2009.1 wouldn't install (although I did install it on an older computer about the same time). I'm planning to try Mandriva 2009.1 tomorrow or as soon as it's out.

Debian on a desktop, Crunchbang on the laptop. Mac OS X on another desktop.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Scrap leather
Newbie here, love this site. I have a lot of scrap leather in different colors and sizes. Does anyone have any ideas on making something with it. My sewing machine will not sew it, probably need a commercial sewing machine. Has anyone seen any sites with leather crafts, wall hangings, unusual stuff on it? I did several searches and found nothing unusual that I thought I could do. I guess I could always sell it on ebay.....
I also worked at a place that had tons of leather scraps that I could have. I thought "Oh Boy ! A Goldmine!" I Stocked up !! You know - I still haven't found anything to do with them ..... I can't think of one thing !! I'm a poor example of a crafter,huh ? LOL
Hi - FWIW, there is a special roller foot or walking foot you can use for machine sewing w/leather.
Also, there are such things as leather needles - which have a sharp triangular point - for both machine and hand sewing. The hand sewing 1s might also be known as 'glovers' needles.
& also FWIW, leather scraps make great ears, tails, shoes etc. for toys, dolls, etc.
I used leather scraps on my pet screen purses......I covered the end of the strap where it attached to the purse...looked kinda classy........I used a leather needle and a teflon foot and set my machine on heavy......worked good.....fun forum...just found it....Chris
I made purse handles out of it.
I cut it in strips about two inches wide. Folded the two side to center then folded again...and sew down the edge to make rounded handles. I left the end open so I could fold them open and sewed that to the inside. then put a liner in the purse. The made the purses look not so homemade.
I just have an old Singer I sewed them on. Those old black heads will sew through just about anything.
I am with Cub Scout pack 77 in Joplin Mo, and a fan of leathercraft. We are a small pack and we try not to charge dues so that are boys will stay with the pack but,to do that we the leaders have to pay for everything. I was wondering if any one would be so kind as to donate some leather for our boys to use in learning the trade of leather work and crafts? We want to keep an old craft going and with your help we will be able!
Thank you,
Assistant Cub Master Pack 77
I used my sewing machine to sew purse handles. I cut a strip of the leather , folded both sides in , then folded again. It was sort of a rounded handle. I left the ends open so I could lay them flat inside the purse or tote.
That made me sew through 4 layers of leather. My machine was/is just a cheap Walmart Singer.
I think it must be the needle.
That's funny...I didn't realize that this was an old post...I posted nearly the same thing on both times...First time I posted I was using my old Singer...
I've now tried it with this one and it works too...
This was weird...seeing my post twice...I couldn't figure out how I did that until I noticed the dates.
do do do do....hummed to the tune of Twilight Zone.
I'm looking for scrap leather to make a latch hook rug out of! I saw one in a catalog and couldn't afford it so I thought I'd make one! I'm hitting the Salvation Army and AmVets stores, buying old jackets for the soft leather! If anyone has any scraps they'd like to sell, let me know please!! The pieces can be small, since I'm cutting my strips at 1/4" x 4"! Special note to toomuchglass: I'm sorry, I wrote to you before I got to the bottom of the page! :-) Thanks everyone!

Thus runs the garbled ska gospel according to many of the new fans attracted by the genre's most recent boom. You can hardly blame them for their lack of knowledge about ska's background because most of them are only twelve years old. But even the youngest of these boosters will benefit from knowing the Toasters, the still-spry grandfathers of American ska. The band's members -- guitarist/vocalist Robert "Bucket" Hingley, trumpeter Brian Sledge, vocalist Jack Ruby, Jr., bassist Matt Malles, drummer John McCain, trombonist Rick Faulkner, saxophonist Fred Reiter, and keyboardist Dave Waldo -- have been giving the kiddies something to skank about for fifteen years, and they give no indication that they'll be cutting down their 200-shows-per-year touring schedule anytime soon. Nonetheless, Hingley, the group's co-founder, wouldn't mind if listeners dug a little deeper into ska's roots.
"People tend to emphasize the party aspect of ska, not the political aspect," he says. "They forget that the music rose out of the Trench Town ghetto when Jamaica got rid of 200 years of English colonial rule. Now it's associated with white frat boys."
"Bob Marley started out playing ska," adds Sledge. "Reggae music is just ska music played much slower. The beats, guitar licks, and rhythms behind it are generally the same." Indeed, the rudiments of ska link the music's three distinct periods: the first wave, which came to life in Jamaica during the late Fifties; the second wave, spurred by late-Seventies English combos that revived ska under the two-tone banner; and today's third wave, a movement broad enough to encompass the punky sound of Rancid and the swing-ska flavor associated with the Dance Hall Crashers.
Hingley doesn't turn up his nose at the latest generation to discover ska, in part because he, too, came to the music long after its birth. His conversion experience occurred in 1980, shortly after he moved from England to New York, where he managed Forbidden Planet, a comic-book/sci-fi store. "I went to see the English Beat in the Roseland Ballroom and only 150 people were there," he remembers. "But for me, it was like the scene in the Blues Brothers where they get hit by the bolt of lightning."
Before long, Hingley had decided that his particular "mission from God" required him to introduce the United States to ska. To that end, he created the Toasters in 1983, and when he discovered that no domestic record labels were interested in signing his band, he started Moon Ska Records, the first American label to exclusively feature ska outfits. The imprint didn't entirely shield the Toasters from financial troubles; over the years the players have weathered threats of bankruptcy and collected more than their share of battle stories. ("Once, we had a bus break down at Checkpoint Charlie," Hingley says, referring to the former East German border crossing, "and we had to get out and push it with all the Germans pointing their guns at us.") But they've recently seen their profiles rise above cult level status. For instance, their latest album, 1997's Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down, cracked the MTV lineup, the CMJ Top 25 radio list, and the Billboard reggae chart.
These accomplishments attracted the attention of numerous record-industry heavyweights, but the Toasters had no trouble rejecting their entreaties; Hingley says they "never wanted to lose control of things and give the baby over to less-caring foster parents." He adds, "We were in a sort of anomalous position. We have done quite well for ourselves, but if we went to a major label, we'd have to run five times as fast."
Besides, Sledge notes, the band is doing just fine on its own. "When I started out with the Toasters seven years ago, we were playing to crowds of three or four hundred people," he says. "Now it's for three or four thousand people. The people at the shows used to be between eighteen and twenty-four years old, and the majority of them were rude boys, mod boys, and mod girls dressed in black suits, white shirts, and black ties. But once ska made the MTV playlist and started filtering into other forms, like skacore, ska-punk, and ska-jazz, other kids who might not have bothered to listen to it started to check it out. Now the majority of kids at our shows are between twelve and eighteen years old and are dressed in skateboard gear with flared bell-bottom jeans and wallet chains."
The musicians have no problem relating to such throngs. In fact, they instruct security guards at concerts to step aside to allow a constant stream of attendees to dance with them in front of the footlights. Although their laissez-faire attitude has resulted in a few dental emergencies due to collisions with overzealous skankers, they wouldn't have it any other way. "Ska is inclusionary. It's not a musical form like classic rock, where you have something like a sheet of glass between you and the audience," Hingley explains. "Brecht talked of this sort of alienation: the audience watching a spectacle and not participating in it. So we're the anti-Brechts, I suppose."

SUPRA Presents Rewind 2012
Rewind 2012 is a look back at one of the most memorable years in SUPRA history. The year began with a team photo shot in the Clockwork Orange tunnel in London—the first time the entire team had been assembled in one location. It was an inspirational moment and it set the tone for the successes that followed. We saw the release of Erik Ellington's fifth signature shoe (the Ellington) and Stevie Williams's first (the S1W). Four SUPRA pros teamed up with four SUPRA ams to create the Pro + Am Collection. The team had amazing tours of Australia, Europe, the East Coast, and Asia. Lizard hosted a very passionate Passion Trip. The Three Amigos got busy in the Dirty South. There was tons of magazine coverage including a Jim Greco Thrasher cover and a Kevin Romar Skateboarder cover. So much happened in 2012 that it's going to be a tough year to beat, but SUPRA looks forward to 2013 as it takes a look back at 2012.

So I've seen the threads about this for PC, but not for the Xbox. I completed Episodes 1 and 2 of the Walking Dead previously, and just downloaded Episode 3. Whenever I launch the game and go to play episode three, it states something to the effect: "Do you want to randomize choices for episodes not completed?"
It is as if it does not recognize that I have completed the past games, and when I press b here, it goes to a page that displays no previously saved games. I contacted Xbox support and they suggested I re-download my profile, but I don't think that's the issue.
Also, I have downloaded the 2mb update and I do get the status "Checking Episode status" when I launch the game. Any suggestions? Zombie Jenkins was really lookin forward to playin this game while work is cancelled for the hurricane.:(

Do you really want this man as president?
June 29, 2008
Tsk, Tsk, Tsk
Ryan Seacrest has the scoop on Barack Obama's iPod and there is no country on it. Now I know everyone can't be country music fans, but shouldn't our potential president be a little more rounded and include some country tunes, even if it is just to make some country fans happy? I betcha McCain's got a little twang on his iPod, that is if he owns an iPod.
I would like to see Obama attend a Kenny Chesney or Hank Williams, Jr. concert to show his support for a large section of the country who prefers country music.
Write your congressmen and women people, lets send Barack some country CDs and convert the man.

Former David School Director Ordered To Pay The School
The former director of the David School has been ordered to repay the school nearly $34,000, following a judge's order Friday.
Circuit Judge Johnny Ray Harris ordered Danny Greene to repay the school $33,919.33 to cover unpaid taxes from when Greene was still over the school.
Greene did not appear at Friday's hearing, but did a responsive pleading, which was entered into the record.
In the pleading, Greene says he does not believe he should be held personally liable for the tax bills.
Greene also counters that the school owes him $96,293 for unpaid salary, deferred compensation and loans he and his wife made to the school. Judge Harris did not rule on those claims.
Under Harris' order, the court reserves the right to grant additional relief as to other potential claims.

So ummm.... The story with this one.... Honestly I have no idea. It just kinda came to me... I don't really know what its about, except the main character I guess you could call him, is a guy, and he lives in a prison that his mind has invented. He's homeless, slightly crazy... But anyways, this is just kinda random, I hope it turned out ok Let me know if this needs to be flagged mature for ideologically sensitive content or not, cuz I wasn't really sure Comments welcome!
So, I was just wondering what you guys thought of this? Did the repetition of words help or hurt? Did you like the main idea of this/did you understand it or was it just a bunch of random stuff? Thanks!
Here are some feedback questions for :
1. Was this piece confusing because of the repetition and/or style/grammar? (If it is, what can I do to fix this without losing the idea of the man being half-crazy?)
2. What did you like most about this piece?
3. What did you like the least?
4. Was this impactful in some way?
