Home improvements have gone up now that the real estate market has gone down. Here are some tips that you might want to utilize when it comes to starting a major remodeling project. The more information you have, the fewer mistakes you will make.
Check out the credentials of any home improvement company that you are considering. If a firm does not have a street address and uses just the phone, they may not be reputable. Try to go with companies that have a strong reputation.
Upon selling a home, every part of the home should have a clearly defined purpose. Buyers shouldn't have to guess what a space is supposed to be; have appropriate furnishings and accessories in each room. This allows potential buyers to see themselves within the space, allowing them the opportunity to determine how they'd use it. A home with well-defined areas is more attractive and will sell much faster.
It is important to talk to everyone in your family about different emergency plans long before a disaster has a chance to strike. When things go wrong, people can panic easily, and end up injured because of not doing anything. Some of this panic can be lessened with the help of an escape plan. Discuss and make a plan for every possible experience imaginable.
You can gain some extra space on end tables and nightstands by switching out your table lamps for floor lamps. These free-standing lamps are easy to move around, whereas table lamps require lots of surface space. Find a lamp that has a design that fits your personality.
If your home isn't complete with a shower, it is wise to think about having one installed. Showers are much more accessible than tubs, plus they can really reduce your water use, particularly if you have a lot of children. You can save 75% of your normal bathtub water by taking a five minute shower instead.
Move the furniture in your room away from the walls to give the appearance of a bigger room. This makes the room feel larger while giving it a more contemporary appearance.
Install a ceiling fan. Ceiling fans are good projects that anyone can do cheap and easy. It is inexpensive and will help you save money on energy costs.
To circulate the air in your home, install ceiling fans in your most-used rooms. The fans help get the warm air or cool air where it needs to be. Most ceiling fans can be switched to force the air up or push it down, depending on what is needed at the time.
Debris disposal is a consideration that you should think about well in advance of beginning any home improvement work, especially with extensive renovations. If you need to demolish walls or other parts of your home, the resulting debris needs to be relocated and disposed of in an efficient manner. Mark off a place to put this stuff while the job is going on, and have a plan for what to do with it later.
You can really show off your personality through your home improvement choices. Do-it-yourself home improvements are becoming increasingly popular amongst homeowners. With the information laid out here, you are now on the path to a great renovation.

Talk:Marnie (film)
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Marnie (film) article.
Article policies
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
External links - dead link[edit]
Looks like the link to the 2005 Times article is no longer valid. I have a copy of it cached on my site if anyone wants to update the external link (http://www.hitchcockwiki.com/page/193). Davepattern (talk) 23:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Black and White Image?[edit]
Why is the image of the film in black and white when this is a color film? (in fact, it is a film which could not reasonably be done in black and white, due to the importance of the color red) Perhaps if nothing else, the caption on the photo should explain that while the photo is B&W, the film is in color. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 04:16, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
Insane Sexist Crap[edit]
"incites Mark to rape her"?? "Consumates against her will"?? You mean rape. He rapes her. Seriously! Who the f!ck wrote this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Revatman (talk • contribs) 03:59, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
- Next time, just WP:be bold and fix it. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:55, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
- I'd be happy to edit it but there are no "edit" buttons and I don't know how to change the entry to make it editable. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 22:17, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
I watched this flick this morning and I have problems believing that whoever wrote the entry had actually seen the movie. It's also poorly written and I was going to edit a few sentences for clarity but for some strange reason it's not possible to edit it. This is a movie review, not some entry about a controversial person or subject. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 21:13, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
- I can't make any sense of the summary. Did she steal money from a safe twice, or did the summary just mention it twice? What is the point of her throwing away the key to the money she stole -- doesn't she want to use the money? And why does she want to make her marriage to a rapist "work"? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 03:28, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
Miss Lucy had a baby[edit]
Apparently, the children's rhyme about the lady with the alligator bag shows up prominently in this movie? Worth mentioning and linking, if someone could. — LlywelynII 19:32, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

This can include running school workshops, giving talks and tours of new architecture, campaigning at local level, giving awards to great buildings, keeping our members up-to-date in their training, and a host of other activities that stimulate discussion about our built environment.

Vice President Joe Biden and the Obama administration's new healthcare initiative will highlight this weekend's news shows.
Biden will sit down with David Gregory on NBC's "Meet the Press," while Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will discuss healthcare and the new tobacco regulation bill on both ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" and CNN's "State of the Union."
Sens. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) and Susan Collins (R- Maine) will follow Sebelius on "State of the Union" to continue the healthcare dialogue.
Also sitting down with Stephanopoulos will be former Massachusetts governor and likely 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney (R).
On Saturday, a potential Romney opponent, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R), may continue her feud with David Letterman. Palin will appear on CNN's "The Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzer.
Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag and Sens. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will talk healthcare after Palin on "The Situation Room."
Health care also promises to be a topic on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, where Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will appear.
The tone will be more economic on "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace, with Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), and Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tom Donohue sitting down.

Ohio Governor's Police Panel Calls For More Oversight
A task force studying Ohio police and community relations has narrowed down list of potential recommendations.
Listen to the Story
Six Columbus Police Officers are under investigation after allegedly drinking alcohol and firing a weapon.
One Columbus Police Sergeant and five other officers are off the streets and behind desks while an investigation continues into what happened last Wednesday. Sgt. Rich Weiner says that allegedly the officers drank alcohol and then one of them fired a weapon after the police officers had conducted a vehicle training session at National Trail outside of Columbus. Weiner says another officer not connected with the group reported the incident Sunday.
"The division is very concerned and because of that they took swift action which was without asking any questions there were allegations, information was backed up. They went and took the badge and gun of 6 individuals," Weiner said. Sgt. Weiner says it's not known if the officers were on or off duty when the incident happened. He says more police officers may be involved.
"Obviously the division is taking this very serious and that's why everybody involved in that incident has been relieved from duty. Now this might be an incident where we find out that there were more people present and if that's the case then they will be relieved from duty," Weiner said.
Sgt. Weiner says if the investigation finds that any of the officers targeted were not involved in wrongdoing they will return to their normal job.

Regarding your open question on the pony page, Photoshop and Illustrator work fine on any Windows or Mac machine that has decent specs. If you have a Toshiba that's not too old, you should be golden. I run Adobe CS4 on a Studio XPS 16 and it works like a charm.

That's probably how I ended up sleeping on rooftops of Jordanian Bedouins, getting almost sea-sick on old trains in Burma, crossing the Arctic Circle (twice), walking across Spain in 25 days, and learning how to fish from Norwegian hunters. I always bring my camera; it has the rare power of getting me up before sunrise. Then again, so do swimming, biking, and hiking. Alright, maybe I'll be a National Geographic photographer in my next life. In this one I became a scientist (at the moment crossing into business). I find science fascinating; I love to learn how nature works. A bit of nerdiness is sexy. I've been very fortunate to collect a lot of interesting stories in my life, and I don't mean just the travel. It all began on a stormy November morning in a small village behind the Iron Curtain of Europe… Oh, but not here. I might tell you a few over the course of several good dates ;-) So, what may be in this for you? Should we find ourselves camping in the mountains, I might impress you with one of the finest back-country dinners imaginable. I could give you a tour on skis of sleepy European villages. We might have interesting dinner conversations before an evening at the symphony or opera.And if you fancy the harder bike route, I could sweat it out with you. Our legs will thank us when we're 80. You love the outdoors and can say "yes" to new adventures. You're educated and have interesting stories of your own, because I like to listen and learn about you too. Affection goes a long way for me, hugs, kisses, cuddles and all. A good relationship needs chemistry. And for that, meeting is better than reading! I would like to have a family of my own one day. I believe that will happen when the time is right, and the person too. Until then, I froze some of my eggs. All 36 of them now live an exciting city life at a boutique egg hotel in San Francisco. Rest assured that I don't plan to have a family *that* large ;-)

Nutritional supplements for diabetes sold on the internet: business or health promotion?

BMC Public Health 2013, 13:777 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-13-777Published: 26 August 2013
Diabetes is one of the most widespread chronic disease. Although many medications are available for the treatment and prevention of diabetes, many people turn to nutritional supplements (NSs). In these years, the online sales have contributed to the growth of use of nutritional supplement. The aim of the research was to investigate the type of information provided by sales websites on NSs, and analyse the existence of scientific evidence about some of the most common ingredients found in available NSs for diabetes.
A web search was conducted in April 2012 to identify web sites selling NSs in the treatment of diabetes using Google, Yahoo and Bing! and the key word used was "diabetes nutritional supplements". Website content was evaluated for the quality of information available to consumers and for the presence of a complete list of ingredients in the first NS suggested by the site. Subsequently, in order to analyze the scientific evidence on the efficacy of these supplements a PubMed search was carried out on the ingredients that were shared in at least 3 nutritional supplements.
A total of 10 websites selling NSs were selected. Only half of the websites had a Food and Drug Administration disclaimer and 40% declared clearly that the NS offered was not a substitute for proper medication. A total of 10 NS ingredients were searched for on PubMed. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses or randomized control trials were present for all the ingredients except one. Most of the studies, however, were of poor quality and/or the results were conflicting.
Easy internet access to NSs lacking in adequate medical information and strong scientific evidence is a matter of public health concern, mainly considering that a misleading information could lead to an improper prevention both in healthy people and people suffering from diabetes. There is a clear need for more trials to assess the efficacy and safety of these NSs, better quality control of websites, more informed physicians and greater public awareness of these widely used products.

Tuesday Tech Tip: Gif your PowerPoints
Have you ever wanted to turn your PowerPoint presentation into an animated Gif? Me neither, but now you can with GifDeck. Just upload your file to SlideShare then give the SlideShare URL to GifDeck. Moments later, you'll have an animated Gif.
I couldn't think of any real use-cases but the site suggests using it in an e-mail or posting it to Twitter, both of which make some sense to me.
One important note: it will only convert 10 slides. (My original presentation, which I'll be posting Thursday or Friday, is much longer than the Gif above.)
On the next Tech Talk: Enter the Mozillarian: Weaving the Mozilla and Library Communities
More and more librarians and library-lovers are realizing that they have a lot in common with Mozilla. While some people think Mozilla is just a tech company that makes Firefox, these savvy "Mozillarians" know that they're more than that: Mozilla is a global community of people who believe that openness, innovation, and opportunity are key to the continued health of the Internet.
Mozilla creates initiatives like Webmaker and drives the Hive Learning Networks — both focused on advancing web literacy, connected learning, and digital skills. These programs spark creativity and innovation, as well as build tools, curricula, and a community of people dedicated to helping others. Initiatives that enable citizens to develop 21st-century skills, become creators and shapers of the web, explore interests and opportunities, and develop themselves and their communities. Which kinda sounds like, well, what librarians do
In this session we'll highlight some Webmaker tools and resources, showcase some emerging Mozillarians, and give you some easy ways to get started by throwing a Webmaker Party.
Åke Nygren, Stockholm Public Library
Over the years Åke has been active in various library projects with a focus on lifelong learning, learning environments, digital inclusion, and social media. He is currently working with digital signage and social media for the Stockholm Public Library Digital Library Dept. Åke is a big fan of Mozilla and other projects working for a free and open internet. In January 2014, he launched a collaborative blog — Mozillarian.org — where he and other "Mozillarians" explore the intersection between the Mozilla community and the library world.
Chris Lawrence, Mozilla Foundation
Chris is the Senior Director of Mozilla's Webmaker community team. Through this work Chris helps guide the Hive Learning Network project — helping to spread connected learning and web literacy through the exploration of digital skills for youth and educators. He is a graduate of Bank Street College's Museum Education program and previously worked at the New York Hall of Science.
Christine Prefontaine, Facilitating Change
Christine is a strategist, activist, innovator, and designer. She is the founder of Facilitating Change, a boutique consultancy focusing on international, nonprofit, and community development. Her recent work focuses on civic media and technologies, libraries and other innovation spaces, and web-first publishing. She is a huge library advocate and an active member of the Mozilla community. Previously, she worked for the Technology & Social Change Group (TASCHA) at the University of Washington Information School, Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC), and Deloitte's Emerging Markets Group.
In this monthly feature of NCompass Live, the NLC's Technology Innovation Librarian, Michael Sauers, will discuss the tech news of the month and share new and exciting tech for your library. There will also be plenty of time in each episode for you to ask your tech questions. So, bring your questions with you, or send them in ahead of time, and Michael will have your answers.

Summary. We aimed to identify and classify cases of paediatric myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) occurring in Britain to estimate the incidence of this rare group of diseases, investigate the results of therapy and identify prognostic risk factors. Patients aged below 15 years at diagnosis were collected from England, Scotland and Wales, inclusively between 1990 and 1999. One hundred and thirty-five patients were accepted as de novo MDS or juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia (JMML). The incidence for this period was 1·35 per million (age standardized rate) which is below that reported outside the UK. The overall survival was 45%[standard error (SE) = 4%] at 5 years: 40% (SE = 6%) for JMML and 50% (SE = 6%) for other MDS. Significant adverse prognostic factors for JMML were a platelet count < 40 × 109/l, raised fetal haemoglobin, FPC score and age above 2 years at diagnosis, for other MDS only monosomy 7 was significant. To conclude, the incidence of MDS/JMML in children in the UK appears to be lower than that reported outside the UK. This may be either a real difference in incidence or variation in reporting. Monosomy 7 is associated with poor outcome in MDS other than JMML. The prognosis of JMML depends on age, platelet count and fetal haemoglobin.

A OK #1 Fruit Fly Capture
New into juicing with lots of fruits and vegetables around and lots of fruits and vegetable kitchen scraps thus an over abundance for my bin thus happy fruit fly season led to lots of flying friends. Taking a three prong approach of first putting all new kitchen scraps onto the winter garden instead of into the bin for a bit. Covering the indoor bin with sheer curtain material. I had two bins going and only one cover. Three. I noticed the tops of the kombucha (a fermented sweet tea) jars attracted the flies. They could not get in due to the paper towel cover. I had let the kombucha go a while and it was more a vinegar than a tea. Previously I would pour a bit of my best wine, fruit flies like good wine too, and a drop of dish detergent into a glass I never wanted to drink out of again. This would sit at my kitchen sink doing a fine job for a long while. I tried the kombucha with a drop of dish soap (to make the water wetter) and boy oh boy oh boy did I strike the mother lode. This is the results I expected years ago when I made my first vinegar trap and waited and waited and waited to even get one kill. I chased single flies around the kitchen to shuffle them towards the trap. Not very effective. But the kombucha trap works better than advertised and it is not even available on TV. But wait, there's more. If you have two glasses you do not want to ever drink out of again fill up both with the magic solution and have two traps working for you for the price of one.
Kombucha can be purchased at most health food stores. Drink 7/8ths and use the rest for your trap. You can even use the same bottle.

text: Decisioni, Decisioni… Joanie Karapetian January 30, 2013 1 Comment This is a very important question: What does a winemaker drink, when she's not drinking her own wine? We went to dinner at BiCE in San Diego with Elisa Scavino and Riccardo Sgarra of Paolo Scavino winery, and we enjoyed two bottles of vino Italiano, each one singular and special in its own way. The first was a gorgeous bottle of Soave from Suavia- their single vineyard "Monte Carbonare" selection. 15 months ageing on the lees and a completely unique terroir give this Soave a personality all its own. Layered, complex, begging for decanting; opulent and at the same time razor-edged. I was totally entranced by this wine! Following the Soave we enjoyed another unique bottling- Dettori's "Dettori" Cannonau. Natural wine- crunchy with a vinous streak that reminds me of what it must have been like to drink wine with the Apostles. Reeking of history and terroir; fermented and refined with glass and cement. Fascinating as always. So, what does a winemaker drink when she's not drinking her own wines? The answer is: everything. The understanding and real enjoyment of wine is a journey that (thankfully) never ends. One Response Sarah May (@AntiquaTours) February 2, 2013 San Diego is my home town. What a great post.

Another solid Answerman, and I agree Popularity is a fleeting thing, like beauty it is temporary & fickle. Overall it should not matter how popular an anime is or is not, but how much the individual viewing the anime enjoys it. Just because something is popular doesn't mean its good *doesn't mean its bad either mind you, but doesn't mean its the best thing since sliced bread* different strokes for different folks and what not.
Also, I too am one of those 10 or so people that still enjoys Master Keaton.

|it's weird but popularity can be a snowball effect. If it's more popular: then more people will enjoy it, if more people enjoy it: it will be more popular. Whereas if something is under the radar it doesn't get the boost to get started on that cycle. Sometimes that's good, an anime may not be good so it's not popular, so it doesn't get recommended etc. With anime it's hard to get the initial boost to have a chance at being popular though. Either it needs to be rather good and on easily accessible tv, or be so good that people will spread it word of mouth across cons and the internets etc.

|Popularity does matter quite a bit if you care about the state and direction of the industry. Things that are not popular will get made less, while massively popular properties get quite a few clones that drive the direction the industry goes in. Just look at Idolmaster from last year... we already have 4 or 5 idol anime clones since because of its massive popularity. But for shows that aren't popular, there aren't more anime like them.

I think this has rather to do with the popularity of AKB48 and idol culture in general than with Idolmaster as an anime. And let's not forget that idols have been long popular in anime, not just recently.

To be honest, I thought Zac's praise of Madoka Magica was a little too exuberant. Although I agreed with most of what he said in his multiple reviews on the show, I thought the final review was a little over the top. Long after viewing the series, I have yet to see any explanation of the Madoka Magica finale that makes sense in any kind of meaningful way. Most explanations seem to be more or less whimsical, vacuous, wish-fulfillment psycho babble about the power of love overcoming all or the power of a pure girl's heart saving the universe and offering hope to all girls everywhere, or Madoka becoming a god so that she could change the rules of the universe and give hope to all people throughout time. For such an ambitious show to end with a finale saturated with inane platitudes and superficial (and very well-tread in the genre) concepts was a travesty. I don't disagree that Madoka Magica was one one of the best anime to come out in recent years, but after doing so much to break the mold of its genre, it finished up by quietly slinking back into the mold and relying on die hard fans to come up with hackneyed interpretations of how amazing it is in spite of its play it safe conclusion.
I haven't watched the films, and I probably won't go out of my way to do so, but I understand why a person who is not a die hard anime fan would not find the show all that compelling. The first 95% of the show appeals primarily to anime fans who are distressed over the stagnation of the magical girl genre. The last 5% of the show appeals to strident optimists (and young children) who want to believe that hope and love conquer all evils. For the general audience of the L.A. Times, and the vast majority of all American movie viewers in general, neither of those two apply. That is why I imagine that the L.A. Times reviewer's take on Madoka Magica expressed little more than lukewarm intrigue.
P.S. I found his comment about "all-girl universe" to be kind of funny. I suppose it is more or less a given that most magical girl shows will exist in an all-girl universe. Perhaps that might have been something else that Madoka Magica could have addressed, but perhaps that will be forthcoming in another deconstruction of the genre.

I have not quite thought that much about what the ending of Madoka Magica means, but I did not feel very comfortable with it. The story, characterization, premise and animation/art on Madoka Magica were very strong in my opinion, but the ending does feel contrived.
Before Urobuchi announced that Madoka Magica will be milked out, I had hopes that the third film might have clarified some aspects about the series' ending.

Although I like Ranma 1/2, that's not the Rumiko Takahashi series that makes me wonder why InuYasha is more popular - my vote goes for Maison Ikkoku! Sure, Maison Ikkoku is a much different breed of series since it has no action and is a pure romantic-comedy, but there's no Takahashi series as touching or moving as this one. But the fact that it (and Ranma) are over twenty years old doesn't help, either, since there are certainly fans out there who won't touch titles from before the 2000s. So yeah, timing is everything.

Sigh... I'm really way too busy now (and dead tired! college is kinda sucking now!) to really articulate much original stuff, but I never saw the ending as something being "safe." Even if you look through the latter parts of the main series thread, or the latter parts of the Volume 3 review that you might've merely skimmed over/not read, I think you can find some good arguments for the relative merit of the ending that definitely do NOT talk in phrasing and concepts as sophomoric as merely "pure love overcoming all". For instance, from the Volume 3 review thread (which was actually partially addressed to you but didn't seem to get a real reply from you there.):
Moving back to your points....
"Distressed over the stagnation" of the genre? Maybe it's just an aesthetic matter of wording, but I really didn't care too much about the genre (nevermind "distressed" over it) when I got into the series, save for some pre-conceived notions I might have had of it due to memories of Sailor Moon. It appealed to me because, regardless of genre, it was intelligent-dramatic-tragic-entertaining-compelling.
Again, the ending isn't that simple-minded. But even if your notion of the meaning of the ending held true, I don't think you're all that right about the audience to whom the ending appealed. Personally, I was nearly deathly obsessed over Madoka between the beginning of March and end of April 2011, and I can't tell you how much I was not and am not an optimist, at least to this naive an extent. I was counting on a largely depressing ending, maybe something Evangelion style or just something bitter through and through. Instead, the ending was more positive (though definitely more nuanced, which I very much appreciated, than you're making it out to be), and managed to make sense in the scheme of it all; it was a natural conclusion to a dark and angst-ridden series.

It's fine if you don't like what the ending did, but that's very different than it not making sense. It did make sense. So sorry you weren't paying attention and/or refuse to acknowledge the explanations given to you. That's your problem, not the show's.
You clearly don't watch many magical girl shows. There are usually at least a few male characters (usually at least one that is the object of at least one girl's affection). And if you mean none of the major characters.... well yeah, no shit, its a *magical girl show*. That doesn't make it an "all-girl universe".

|To me, Madoka was a show I really enjoyed while it aired, since it gave better internet discussions than nearly any other anime I've watched as it aired... Hell, I enjoyed discussing what might happen next and the symbolization more than the anime itself. But looking back, I don't really see it as a masterpiece or anything. If I was just watching it now, instead of while it was airing, I'd probably consider it simply an above average series, nothing more.

@ Animerican14 -
That block you just cited in your reply is an exact example of the kind of vacuous, platitudinous explanation I was referring to. I'll quote a few passages which exemplify what I am talking about:
What the hell does this mean???
Kami means god in Japanese. What is the point in trying to extract some kind of distinction here?
Psychobabble. Also, it doesn't even make sense that her wish was contradictory to her present existence. She hadn't even turned into a witch yet.
The value of one's humanity vs how the world works??? What does that mean???
What dreams, hopes and wishes? What are we even talking about here? You see what i'm saying? Explanations of the ending of Madoka Magica always involve these kind of hackneyed statements
As far as your last two points, perhaps you are different than the demographic that I think is mostly serviced by Madoka Magica, but I think given that the show is clearly posed as a deconstruction of traditional magical girl tropes, and the ending is massively optimistic compared to the rest of the dark themes preceding it, my points are well made.

Welcome to the Oracle Certification Blog
By Harold Green on Jul 10, 2008
Hi everyone, Welcome to the new Oracle Certification Program Blog. We hope that you'll enjoy this as a great way for those of us on the Oracle Certification team to share information and updates into what's going on in the program. Because we here at Oracle are hard at work each day to maximize the value of your Oracle certification, we look forward to sharing insights with you about what we are doing and why are doing it. Several weeks of brainstorming amongst the certification team has resulted in a list of topics that we feel I should discuss in the blog. Honestly - this list got pretty long. Sparing you the lengthy details, here are a few examples: - What is the Oracle program doing to help curb cheating? - What is the real value of certification? - How should I go about studying for the Oracle exams? - My certificate took longer than I expected to arrive. Why? - Why does Oracle have a training requirement? - What should I do if I have a problem? I look forward to covering not only these topics, but many more as well. Watch for new posts once or twice per week. My hope that it will give you some good insight to the 'behind the scenes' workings of the Oracle Certification Program. For comments, ideas, and/or suggestions, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
