OpPOErtunistang TraPOE?
For a number of Filipinos who are thoroughly frustrated with the bursting of the Daan na Matuwid bubble, there has suddenly been a desperate search for a Presidentiable come 2016.
Who will they vote for President?
Probably not Mar Roxas -despite having all the resources of government behind him – for the same reason why Secretary Gilbert "Galing at Talino" Teodoro was cursed after then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo made him the "anointed one."
If the surveys are to be given consideration, Vice President Jejomar "Jojo" Binay is it. However, the continued demolition job against him and his family has successfully adjudged him a corrupt politician even before he gets his day in court.
If winnability is to be made a measure, former (and disgraced) President Joseph "Erap" Estrada could be it. But then he is already old and may just delegate the administration of the nations to his cronies. Not a good choice for intelligent Filipinos.
So who are we going to vote?
What about Senator Grace Poe?
For months now, Senator Poe has been manuevering her poltical strategy. She seems geared to run for a higher office as whatever the outcome of this ambitious foray may be – the Senate topnotcher will be back in the Senate after 2016 as her term does not end till 2019. No sweat, no risk.
What does Senator Poe exactly wants? Obviously, all signs point to the Presidency. If not this 2016, surely in the next one.
But will Senator Poe be the hope for the country or just another woman President who will be haunted by the same problems of Presidents Cory Aquino and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo?
This early Senator Poe has given the Filipino people a preview of the brand of governance she is likely to have. With the Mamasapano controversy landing on her lap as Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs, she could have showcased her capability as a no-nonsense politician – somebody who does not operate in the "grey area." She should be clear cut in her decisions – what is black is black, white is white. When she was given the task to determine who shall be accountable for the massacre of 44 police officers, she should have work tirelessly to explain to the families of the slain policemen: Who is responsible for the debacle and how they should be made accountable for such wrongdoings. But she did her job haphazardly. Although she hinted the President Aquino has some sort of responsibility being the Commander-in-chief, she was quick to say that no measures should be made against him as he had "good intentions." On the other hand, she should castigated the MILF for staging an overkill. But she did not lift any finger against the Muslim insurgents even though its leaders who were in attendance during the Senate inquiry came up with the lamest excuse to extricate themselves from their devilish twin- the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF). So what was all the Senate inquiries about, Senator Poe?
With her unexpected inefficiency in the Mamasapano inquiry, Senator Poe could be maneuvering through political channels this early. She would not hurt President Aquino because he is undeniably a big political patron (with all the resources of the government come 2016). On the other hand, she may not want to antagonize the Muslim rebels as this will taint the Fernando Poe Jr.'s Muslim 357 legacy and winnability of the Poe= Muslim 357 legend in vote-rich Muslim territories in Mindanao. Again, all her current efforts to ensure a better vote in 2016.
Even if we can excuse all the trivial political gimmicks that Senator Grace Poe are currently doing (The "Magandang Araw POE" slogans, lining up and riding in the MRT, etc. etc.), we need to worry about considering her to lead her nation. Setting aside the bankable FBJ aura and the "Sheryl Cruz" innocence that elevated her to the number 1 spot in the Senate, Senator Grace Poe has no political experience, no politcal bailiwicks, no political allies, no political machinery, no economic know-how, no legal background and no military connections (as of now) to support her as a viable Presidentiable.
Stated otherwise, if she becomes President by sheer stupidity, she may likely earn political experience at the expense of the Filipino people, win over political bailiwicks by pleasing the masa regardless of cause, compromise ideals in exchange for the support of political trapos and warlords, build a neophyte political party like ERAP's Puersa ng Masa and GMA Lakas-Kampi CMD – to perpetuate her political interests or cronies in power, experiment with various economic programs to solve economic woes of the country, appoint outsiders to the Supreme Court to ensure legal backing, and appoint retired generals to key positions to have military protection.
And our famous last words applicable to this case are……

For a career in the Army Infantry (as enlisted) college isn't necessary at all.
Maybe in other branches, but not the Army Infantry.
I knew many dumb as dirt (when it came to certain things) E7s that obviously were doing fine in the army.
Stop with misinformation. To be honest, college is a huge scam, and this is coming from a student.

Another colorful recycled kitchen...
...with an industrial vibe.
I'm still trying to decide what to do about the flooring in my kitchen. I don't want to lay the sheet vinyl until I've replaced the flooring in the living room, and finished the flooring in the play room. Well, anyway, it's a long story and it's been driving me nuts, so I decided to take a break and have some fun. This is for my grandson's birthday:
I had read a thread in Home Decorating a few months ago, about what to do with an old entertainment center that no one wanted, so I started looking for one that would fit on an old rolling cart that I'd been using to store paint cans. I found one on craigslist for $30.00 (less than the cost of lumber to build it.) On the way home I stopped at a yard sale and found the wire shelving pieces for $1.00 each. I bought a 6' 1x10 board, a rubber sink stopper, a couple of L-brackets, some spray paint, and two inexpensive touch lights. Everything else was already laying around the house or garage, left over from other projects. The cabinet is attached to the cart top and bottom, with L-brackets for safety. It's very stable--I can stand on one side without tipping the cart, and it can be rolled from room to room, or out on the front porch, when I need to set up tables for family dinners. I forgot to take a pic before I started re-working it, but here's an early one:
The over-the-sink light is one of the extra LED flashlights that I used for under cabinet lighting in the kitchen, and I added the touch lights to the oven and fridge. The cabinet doors and drawers are all from my old kitchen. The 'barrel hood' is a popcorn can, cut to shape, painted, and trimmed with metal duct tape. The top of the hood is a scrap piece of expandable ducting:
The crisper drawer is a $1.00 plastic bin:
Remember the sink from the old school cabinet that I put in the kitchen? The backsplash is a left over piece of plastic from a shop light fixture, sanded to prevent knuckle scraping. The stove burners are DVDs (obviously, lol.):
There is a fold-up cutting board for counter space, and a 'gray water' collection system ;), for supervised water play:
The oven rack is from an old toaster oven. I've been using it as a cooling rack, but it was perfect for this:
I bought a couple of cans of spray paint, to repaint the cart, and because my grandson wanted a blue fridge, but the green, white and gray paints were leftovers.
The other side of the cabinet is a work shop, with bins for scrap wood pieces:
I used the extra set of folding hinges, , for the work bench:
And even the sides are used for storage, books, and hooks:
When the grandkids outgrow it, the cabinet can be removed, re-worked, and used for craft storage, etc., and the cart can be taken back to the tool room. This has been a really fun project, but it took much longer that I thought it would--don't all kitchen remodels? ;)
oh mamag you are just amazing! just out of curiosity what did you use for the fridge handles?
very lucky gkids to have you!
and I looove that it's on a cart w/wheels. I've been thinking a lot about putting wheels under a number of furniture pieces I have.
marti, thank you! I found the Better After Blog, but I probably won't send it in. There sure are some cute pics out there. If you ever have time (haha), and you'd like to include it in your blog, I'd be honored.
shades, thank you! On one of my google image searches I found a pic of your bedazzled kitty perch.
desertsteph, I cut the fridge handles from a left over piece of 1x lumber, using a jigsaw. I sprayed them black, then put a strip of metallic tape along the front edge. They're modeled on the shape of my real fridge handles. Thank you!
BTW, when I googled 'kitchen center' I found the following link. Who knew those things were so expensive?!! My recycled one was about a tenth of what they charge.
Here is a link that might be useful: Wooden play centers.
go_figure, thank you! Yesterday was Family Dinner Sunday, and I'm happy to report that the kitchen center worked as expected. We rolled it into the LR to set up tables for dinner, then rolled it back to the play room, later.
It was a hit, not only with my grandson, but also with my 8yr old niece and nephew. I offered to make one for them if my brother can find another old entertainment center. He declined, lol.
EATREALFOOD, thank you! Today my grandson played 'restaurant'--the menu was: 2 frozen pies, spaghetti and meatballs, and a sandwich.
My FIL is in his 80s, retired USAF, a very traditional gentleman. When he stopped by one day, I was excited to show him the almost finished project. I said, "Look at the kitchen center I'm making for K's birthday!" His response was, "Hmmmmmm." I couldn't understand why he wasn't more impressed until I said, "And look on the other side--it's a workshop." Then he was impressed ;).
Oh, MamaG, you are such an amazing woman, and a wonderful example of what grandmothering is all about.
With a twist! Not many grandmothers have such abilities....so your younger generation, grandies and nieces and nephews, will have a long memory of what strong women can do, at any age.
You're the greatest!
moccasinlanding, thank you, I'm blushing. I built my first header last week-end, for a small chest-of-drawers I'm recessing in a knee-wall in the guest room. LOL, after that I decided I need some help with the framing for the closets!
Deedles, energy_rater and Kali, thank you all so much!
mamag, you are a genius!!! My 2 Grands are 5 houses down the street, and come over often, and although I have toys, the little kitchen would be something they would enjoy for a long time.
I have a couple of questions:what are the oven and refrigerator made from? They look like cabinets, are they? I know the sink is made to work, but is anything else?
Again, it's an awesome idea! ;o)
Hi, patty_cakes, thank you very much! The oven and refrigerator sides are pieces of the entertainment center that I removed and shifted to make boxes the correct size. I used left over doors and drawers from my old kitchen cabinets (I never throw anything away), and some odds-and-ends hardware. The 'cooktop' is scrap pieces of luan backing and 1/4x3 trim, with piece of 1x6 where the knobs are mounted.
Nothing else works, except the touch lights in the oven, fridge, and over the sink. If you click on any of the pics it will take you to my photobucket album, which I made public, so everyone can see how to make a play center--it was so much fun.
A trip to the Restore would probably provide most of the pieces needed for the project--no two will be exactly alike anyway. Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: google search on play kitchens from entertainment centers (oh so cute!)

Very colourful art and the woman gave a run down of history of some of the art pieces very interesting and they wrap and send overseas for you
Loved visiting the Hung Long Art Gallery. Being an artist I am always trying to find art galleries to visit. Loved this gallery, some really interesting art, when I visited there was a great installation.
Look for this gallery and go visit. Lots of different art to look at and cool building, with air con and great atmosphere.
This seems to be a one-stop-shop or all things Hoi An and Vietnam. I'd say a good place to visit if you are short on time and want to pick up a few local items
You can find a bunch of peaceful artworks here. Nice drawing and perfect customer service. Highly recommended!!
I purchased one of Nguyen Trung Viet's paintings on holiday and it was sent to me by air mail. It arrived really well packaged and only took about 2 weeks to be delivered. I love the painting and it is a great reminder of our time in Vietnam. When we bought the painting, I asked how it was made and...

sage blooming already
My sage is starting to form flowers. Is this considered bolting? Will the sage not taste good after it has bloomed?
My apologies to the last post if they're correct, but I've never heard of sage dying after flowering. It's a perennial and a bloom cycle is normal. I have never noticed much flavor difference with sage at any time. Use the larger, more greyish leaves for more flavor, the younger greenish leaves for less.
The sage at the community herb garden I manage blooms springtime (which is just starting here--snow and 19F on May 1). I would let it flower--and the flowers are yummy! Following the bloom, prune it back by up to 1/3 of the plant, and you may get a fall bloom too if it's that happy.
Not all sage varieties are perennials. I did have two I grew from seed that did great for one year but the following year they were covered with blooms and died shortly after. I would not worry about them blooming. I just did some cuttings from an older plant and one of my 5 inch cuttings has already bloomed and I am waiting to see if I can get some seeds in the process. Cuttings are very easy to start so from now on I will be doing cuttings just in case another plant decides to die. If I end up with too many then friends and neighbors should be happy to see me.
If sandpapertongue is growing sage to eat it is almost certainly Salvia officinalis which is a perennial sub-shrub. Blooming is a natural part of its life cycle and it will live for several years.
There are about 900 Salvias which can be annuals, biennials, long and short-lived herbaceous perennials, subshrubs, evergreen or deciduous.
Salvia sclarea is an example of a biennial Salvia. Salvia viridis is an annual.
Wally, were all your sage plants for culinary use? I have had some that were strictly for ornamental use (Russian Sage for example although that one is perennial in my zone). Maybe some of the ornamental sages are annuals? The Common Sage (salvia officinalis) many people will grow for culinary use is perennial in my experience. It does become woody over seasons, so I usually start new ones from seed every couple of years. It has pretty flowers also and the bees and hummingbirds like the blossoms.
I personally love the sage (S. officinalis) blooms. The violet-blue color is so beautiful. And I get a great harvest of sage post blooming and seed production. I personally would not suggest clipping the blooms. In fact, let them go and save some seed to start new plants for even more sage!
The sage that died were from seed out of a big box store so I did not look as they were doing so well I never expected them to die at all let alone so quickly. When I lived in Michigan we had a sage bush that was at least 3 foot tall and just as wide. Had a trunk as large as my thumb. So expected it to live a long life. But then I gave one to my neighbor and mine died so this year I went over and took a bunch of cuttings. His died a week later so now I will be giving him some of my starts. Everyone has been doing very well so why the die I do not know but I expect to be sure to have more than one plant just in case.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Meltwater Group.Interview Details
Contacted by an executive recruiter who did a solid job preparing for a conversation and advocated to get an initial screen for my candidacy.
Spoke on the phone with the hiring manager and was invited back to an onsite with 2 people. Prior to the interview, I was asked to think through a case question testing my product sense and execution skills.
At the interview, there was a mix of behavioral and reasoning questions. The hiring manager preferred to lead the discussion. It was fairly interactive with opportunities for Q&A throughout the interview.
They pride themselves in international presence, so do not be surprised by a "European", direct attitude.
Know your stuff and industry. They are looking for a specific culture fit.
I was a bit rusty on my data science and it came through in my response structure. While I received overall positive feedback, it helped me refocus and structure preparation for my next interview.

I had an acquaintance refer me for a sales consultant position last minute as they were having group interviews in person a few days later. She put me in touch with her director and I had a phone interview with him shortly after. It was difficult to tell exactly what he was looking for and he seemed a bit disconnected from the SF team: he told me he was located on the East Coast. After our interview, he told me all of the slots for the group interviews had been filled, but he would keep my resume on hand for their next hiring round, which seemed conflicting because in his email a couple days earlier he had asked if I would be able to make the in-person interview if the phone interview went well.Interview Questions
No Offer
- Nothing terribly difficult, but he did ask why I felt qualified for this role and it was difficult to answer given that there was no specific job description (or even job opening!) listed online Answer Question

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days – interviewed at Meltwater Group.Interview Details
My recruiter set me up with the initial phone screen which I found fairly easy and fine. The next round was a group interview with 9 other candidates. There was a panel of 7 Meltwater employees on one side of a long table and the 9 of us on the other side. We each had name tags in front of us. The group interview was organized and they told us the schedule of the day. First we each had to introduce ourselves and tell the group about something personal or professional we were proud of. After that intro, we each had to say who we thought in the group would make a good manager and why. You could see the Meltwater employees taking notes and mentally shrinking the group. There were a few more team assignments and a debate followed by an elevator pitch.
I made it to the next day which was a 7-1 interview. This was intense. Lots of role playing, testing business knowledge and really trying to throw you off. They told me the next step would be offers on Friday. Late that night, I got a call asking me to come in a third time the next day for 30 min. I was under the impression that they were deciding between me and another candidate. They brought in a guy from another department and it seemed like they were gauging my interest in a full on sales job. I stayed honest and true and said I was more interested in client success. They asked me some more really tough questions on how I would be successful in sales and what I was passionate about.
The next day I got a phone call and they told me that they wouldn't be giving me an offer. After spending around 7 hours in the office, I appreciated the call but would have liked some more feedback if there was something they didn't like or were unsure of. The interview process was by far the most intense one I've ever done and some of the people seemed fake.Interview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Meltwater Group in March 2011.Interview Details
I did really well on the phone part of the interview, answering questions about how Spring, Hibernate, and J2EE work together. Most of these were architecture questions even though I was applying for a coding position. The in-person interview included a senior architect, senior java engineer, and product manager. Again, it was mostly architecture questions. I didn't feel like I did as well on the in-person part, but they did offer me the job so I must have. It was mostly a good personality match I think. Unfortunately I did not interview with the person that was to become my supervisor, which would come back to haunt me later... There was no actual skills test, but others in my group had to do some coding so that was probably unusual.Interview Questions

A game singing about other games
Tomodachi Life has become quite a hit with gamers so far, and there is even more coming from this game as some of Nintendo's most important team members are having their chance to give us some lovely sing along tunes to get us going through the day.
This video also has more to it as it concentrates on the brand new titles coming out from Nintendo - namely Splatoon, Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker and Yoshi's Woolly World. I anticipate a lot from these games, especially Splatoon, so attention will be drawn to these titles the more the days go by.
Anyway, I will shut up - watch this and enjoy. I still need to get Tomodachi Life.

Down-to-the-wire nuclear talks with Iran remained blocked on three major issues, a Western diplomat said Monday on the eve of a deadline to agree the outlines of a deal. It was "yes or no" time, the diplomat said, adding that hurdles still remained over how long any deal should last, the lifting of UN sanctions, and a mechanism for ensuring both sides keep up their end of the deal and for snapping sanctions back into place.
Seyne-les-Alpes (France) (AFP) - Investigators sifting through the wreckage of the doomed Germanwings plane in the French Alps were forced Monday to resume the hunt on foot as bad weather hampered helicopter flights. "The teams will get to the site via the path that is already in existence," said Yves Naffrechoux of the local mountain police. Authorities are hoping to identify more DNA strands from the 150 people who died in Tuesday's crash, as well as locate the jet's second black box that should provide more clues as to the circumstances of the tragedy. Forensic teams have isolated almost 80 distinct DNA strands from the pulverised aircraft and have described the grim task as "unprecedented" given the tricky mountain terrain and the speed at which the plane smashed into the rock.

Teddy bear teacher convicted of blasphemy Update: Michelle discusses the case on FNC
posted at 2:03 pm on November 29, 2007 by Bryan
Update: Michelle appeared on Fox News Live with E.D. Hill to discuss the case. To the commenter who asked about US aid to Sudan, yes, to the tune of $2.6 billion. I say that it's time to cut 'em off.
Compared to what she could have been sentenced to, the ending will come off as a light punishment. But considering the fact that a) the entire case was absurd and b) the Sudanese government is itself engaged in a genocide, which is an actual crime and c) did I mention that the entire case was absurd?, we're left looking at one more clue on the clash of civilizations.
A British teacher in Sudan was convicted Thursday of inciting religious hatred for letting her pupils name a teddy bear Muhammad, and she was sentenced to 15 days in prison and deportation from the country, one of her lawyers said.
Gillian Gibbons was arrested Sunday after complaints to the Education Ministry that she had insulted Prophet Muhammad, the most revered figure in Islam, by applying his name to a toy animal.
The maximum penalty in the case, which has attracted worldwide attention, was 40 lashes and six months in prison.
"The judge found Gillian Gibbons guilty and sentenced her to 15 days jail and deportation," said Ali Mohammed Hajab, a member of her defense team.
"Inciting religious hatred" for letting a 7-year-old name a teddy bear after himself. Absurd. She obviously couldn't stay in Sudan after this; the government's deportation order is a favor, of sorts. But the entire case was absurd (have I mentioned that yet?). Gibbons left the UK for Sudan to give something of herself to the less fortunate, and for that she faced the full wrath of sharia. The irony is that once she returns to the UK, she may find that she hasn't escaped that wrath, since sharia has its adherents there. Radicals in Europe are no less a threat than the radical government in Sudan. Anyone who doubts this ought to ask Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who may have a new sister in permanent security captivity now.

Chelone obliqua 'Ieniemienie'
This plant was on my "2013 To Buy" list from very early on. (Chelone "Hot Lips" is one of my favorite perennials).
But the reduced size of this new variety was appealing as it opened up many more areas into which it could be placed i.e. a front border.
I bought 3 plants very early in the season i.e. May and they are now each less than a foot tall and healthy and since this past weekend they are coming into bloom. (My "Hotlips" although vigorous and healthy will not be blooming until August).
Here is a picture of one with some blooms. I will post more when all are fully open.
Any other GW members have this plant in their garden this season?
This post was edited by rouge21 on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 16:16
Very interesting, Rouge.
As said, have found larger Chelone obliqua, just the species, to be quite an aggressive plant.
Agree entirely on the desirability of C. lyonii 'Hot Lips'.
Have found it such a contrast to C. obliqua; compact and very well behaved.
C. obliqua 'Leniemienie' sounds a great choice too.
Here is the third "Ieniemienie" flowering nicely and still my "Hot Lips" has yet to flower (although all my chelones are looking very healthy). So as a preliminary evaluation of "Ieniemienie" it does appear to bloom much sooner than other chelones and does stay quite short as advertised ie 12" tops.
My 3 "Ieniemienie" plants have grown lots in this their second season in our garden with the largest plant now 2 feet high and 32" across! (So definitely shorter than a regular Chelone but just as large in width)
And again this cultivar will bloom well before my favourite Chelone "Hotlips" as today I see the pink of flowers soon to come.
Does anyone else have this more compact form?

Kanjoya's proprietary technology goes beyond simple positive and negative sentiment to decipher emotions, human factors, and nuance in language.
We integrate emotion analytics with structured demographic information (e.g., location, age, and gender) to provide rich, high-signal guidance that improves business results.
We benchmark your data against the statistical profiles for different data sources, enabling you to identify 'hot spots', unusual activity, and key trends in your business.
Built for massive scale, Kanjoya's NLP technology automatically ingests vast sets of unstructured data, from Facebook and Twitter to surveys, search trends, and forum posts.
Moritz Sudhof, Senior NLP Engineer and Algorithmic Lead at Kanjoya, manages the development of Kanjoya's sentiment, emotion, and experience modeling technology.
His team, in collaboration with researchers at Stanford University, is leveraging the rich corpus of emotion data from Experience Project to model human expression in language.
Listen to Moritz present at the Symposium this year to learn more about the world beyond sentiment analysis: Context-aware emotion modeling for customer insights.
Sentiment Analysis relies on a simplistic classification system that only allows information to be designated as positive, negative, or neutral. These simple classifiers are often insufficient for anything but the most basic phrases. In contrast, Kanjoya Perception utilizes advanced natural language processing to identify a full range of emotions in unstructured text. Perception is able to handle nuance within polarity, conflicting polarity, and promoter/detractor detection and allows customers to understand and predict human behavior with a much higher degree of accuracy than sentiment analysis products.
Perception can handle any type of unstructured text as well as data integrated from multiple structured and unstructured sources. Common data types for Perception customers include open-ended survey responses; reviews from sites like Yelp, Trip Advisor, and mobile app stores; social sites, such as Facebook and Twitter; enterprise networks like Yammer; and text from help-desk systems.
Perception includes a consumer-based UI to encourage a broad range of users across the enterprise. Training requires less than an hour, and the setup of new data streams generally requires less then 2 minutes.
Kanjoya Perception is built to handle vast amounts of data and can scale to handle the biggest enterprise deployments. Dozens of Fortune 500 companies already rely on Kanjoya to support their marketing, customer experience, and HR analytics requirements.
Perception customers get the best results from datasets ranging from 500 rows to as high as five million social media messages.

Tyler Perry's first big-screen production in 2005, "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," opens with Helen (Kimberly Elise) being kicked out of her home by her husband—literally. The kindness and love shown to her by Orlando (Shemar Moore) aren't able to truly penetrate until she picks up the pieces of her broken heart. Helen must also fully end the chapter with her former husband, which her mother (Cicely Tyson) points out is vital before beginning a new romance. Perry highlights the important lesson of forgiving yourself in order to become whole again in this love story.

"disappointed in narrator"
We've been listening to audiobooks for years. My kids and I particularly like the Nancy Drew series.
This is the first one we've been disappointed in, due solely to the narrator. She uses different voices for the characters. Some of the voices don't sound right or are overly exaggerated, and sometimes she gets mixed up and uses a different voice for a character than she used before. We usually get wrapped up in the story, but with those issues it would pull us right out, unfortunately.
I would suggest listening to more of this audiobook than is available in the sample (ie from a library?) before purchasing.

I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at American Family Care.Interview Details
My experience may be a little different because I have corresponded with the Operations manager for a PRN role for over 2 years they finally had a position available. There was already a sense of familiarity and my background as well. So the interview was simple. I already have a full time career. I was looking to work PRN on weekends for extra income.
Not going to lie, the pay is absolutely unreasonably low. Where I could be making $20 per hour, they offered 10.50!Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThey offered the horribly low rate of $10.50. I fought back with $12.00 and we settled at $11.25. If I were interviewing for a career role as a lab tech, I would not have even negotiated upon that pathetic offer. But since it's just a throw away job, i decided to capitalize on the extra income until I don't need it or want it anymore.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview

Megan's concert schedule for 2015 continues to fill up. This week, it was announced that she will perform at the Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista, CA on Friday, October 2. Tickets go on sale March 22.

In the Apple Store, there is a note-taking app called Notability. It acts as a PDF annotator, recording app, with the ability to connect with third-party apps such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Chrome, among others. I currently have an iPad, and I have found that this app is infinitely useful for school, but the iPad as a whole is not. There is no plain word processor, no USB capabilities, no mouse, and accessories are generally pretty expensive. In a few months, I want to make the move to either an Android or Windows tablet ( I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 right now and love the Android operating system), but neither of them have any app on the market as good as Notability.
My question is this: is there any way that an Apple app could be put on to a tablet running on a different operating system, and if so, how would one go about doing it?

Walmart chargers in your decor anyone?
For those of you lucky enough to find those neat Walmart chargers that are so perfect for Fall, here's a blog where she used them to make some accessories for Fall. I just don't understand why our Walmart doesn't have them--just because it's Calif. doesn't mean we don't need Fall themed accessories! Enjoy! Luvs
Here is a link that might be useful: Walmart chargers accessory
Those are wonderful, Luvs! Now you have me wanting to go check my Walmart. I don't really need them for a tablesetting, but I use chargers under decor accessories during holidays. I really like these! Maybe I can go tomorrow! I hadn't seen this blog before either, so will check it out too.
By the way, I had to go to Dollar Tree to get some gift bags today, and they had wonderful Christmas dishes. Also you know the big mug and bowl I bought (stoneware) with the acorns a few weeks ago? Well they had the matching plates this time, so I grabbed two. Plus a goblet with the leaves. Very pretty, but they just had one left.
And I got two dish towels, and two oven pads. I love the soft cream color and leaves, and acorns!
I even remembered to get the gift bags. LOL.
hugs, Karen
Sorry Ladies...but last year at 'My Walmart' I bought
4 along with the matching napkin rings! However, I didn't see them this year.
Luvs, I really like what she did with hers..so clever.
I'm going to be posting some pics I did of a tablescape and I used those chargers again...I find I want to use them more than once, before Fall is over
Karen, I got a couple of those dishes with the leaf and acorn design..just 2. I saw the stems..picked them up...but put them back. Now I'm sorry.

The road to motherhood is fraught with risks for women visiting the two government maternity hospitals in the city, says a recent study by women's group 'Stree Vimukti Sanghatana'. A report detailing the matter was presented to Principal Secretary, Health, L.V. Subramanyam on Monday.
The study reveals the appalling conditions prevalent at the teaching hospitals at Petla Burz and Koti, which are frequented by poor pregnant women from Old City as well as those from Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, Ranga Reddy, Medak and Nizamabad districts. Patients also come from outside the State's borders.
An outpatient at Petla Burz who requires a simple check-up should arrive a day prior to the procedure and stand in a queue from 6 a.m. The hospital receives 500 to 600 antenatal cases every day- fresh and old. The limit being only 100 fresh cases per day, those over and above the limit are turned away.
The diagnostic laboratory being run within the premises by the Institute of Preventive Medicine (IPM) closes by 12 p.m., and if the outpatient fails to provide samples on the same day, she will be forced to approach private labs, or wait till next day.
There is only one scanning machine and no blood bank though anaemia is common. A minimum of 600 inpatients fight for the 462 beds every day, forcing many a woman to deliver on the floor. The MICU here is devoid of any equipment for emergency.
Similar conditions prevail at the Koti hospital. Though the OP is usually a one-day affair, patients are forced to stay on the roads for a week, till all the tests are done and the reports arrive.
Complicated cases in both hospitals are referred to the OGH or Niloufer Hospital, as there is no neonatal care unit.
Though a building and equipment have been readied for a neonatal unit in Koti, its inauguration has been pending for a year, the report said. Both hospitals are grossly understaffed and dreadful in terms of sanitation.
"Whenever someone dies, newspapers blame doctors and the latter blame pregnancy-related complications. The inadequacy of these hospitals to handle complications is totally ignored," noted SVS' secretary M. Lakshmi,
Further, the unusual rush at the referral teaching hospitals only points to the failure of primary and secondary healthcare in villages and district headquarters. If the system is strengthened bottom-up, then the teaching hospitals will have scope to focus on research, she says.

Drilling holes in gourds when drying question
Is it OK to drill a hole or holes in gourds to make them dry faster? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it is OK.....but I'd like the opinion of others.
Hi John, I think you will find that growers say it is possible to drill holes to assist with drying. There also seems to be some concern that drilling holes increases the likelihood that the gourds may rot. I typically tough it out without hole drilling and find that, even though it is a slow process, I rarely lose any gourds over the winter. It is hard to successfully 'hurry drying', and so I'd encourage you to experiment to see what works better for your climate and drying conditions. J
HI, John, do not drill any holes before completely dries up... check this web.http://www.ehow.com/how_3886_dry-gourds.html
UPDATE/FYI: I had already drilled 1 inch holes in each of 5 birdhouse gourds before I sent in this question.
I dried them on my office counter with a small fan blowing on then 24 hours a day.
Everyone of the gourds dried perfectly.
John Gray
hi everyone, this was a good year for my bird house gourds.i dried all mine by scrapping all the green off the out side with a parring knife then i put them in panty hose and hung them outside under my deck for about 2 weeks. then i cut a hole in the bottom as big as my hand with a saw then i placed them back in a pair of panty hose and hung them above our wood stove in the garage, they dried within just a couple of hours. after i dried them i cleaned the insides out with my hand then i sanded the inside. then i took the circle i cut out of the bottom glued it back in place with gorrilla glue and let them set for a day. then i finished the out side. i made some really nice birdhouses plus made me a lamp. was really fun and they turned out great
I grew gourds this year for the first time. I drilled my hole also to help with the drying time, and they have done very well. I think that whatever works for you is the best thing to do. I read so much info on "how to" that I got confused. Just scrape the inside every so often and they dry even faster.
I've been drilling holes in my gourds for several years now and have yet to have one rot. For gourds that I'm going to use as vases, bowls, etc., I drill 4 or 5 1/8" holes in the bottom. This starts the inside to decompose and the juice starts to run out. When it is finally done, and this depends on the size of the gourd, the seeds and what is left of the pulp usually settles on the bottom and is quite easy to clean out when you open the gourd. Usually, there is little if any mold inside. This year I tried a different method on a large (in excess of 20") apache gourd that I'm going to use as a birdhouse. I cut a 1" hole in the side and put the gourd in a bucket of water. IN a few days the pulp started oozing from the hole. After about a week, I turned it upside down so that the water could get into the neck and the pulp in there is now oozing out. When it is done, I will have a nice cleaned out gourd with little physical work involved and no mold to contend with. My experience with drilling and/or cutting holes in green holes seems to suggest that the stories that this will cause gourds to rot is just another urban legend. Gene/pa

Casino students hoping for better deal in life
Butta said new dealers start at $30,000 a year and can earn as much as $50,000. From that job, they can be promoted to floor supervisor, pit supervisor (also called pit boss), shift boss and finally table game manager.
North County Dealer School costs $800, the same as Casino Dealers Academy in Vista. At 21 Vegas Style Dealing School in Escondido, owner Rocky Osborn said he teaches card games for $800 but also offers craps dealing for $900 and poker for $700.
Osborn, a professional for 13 years, said he stepped down from his job at Valley View Casino to open a school to improve the quality of new dealers in the area.
Unlike Butta's structured approach, Osborn's school is open daily, with students coming by on their own schedule to practice and study until they are prepared to be tested for a certificate and audition for a job.
Both schools teach blackjack and Pai Gow, and Butta also teaches mini-baccarat. They both also agreed that learning games like War, Let It Ride, Caribbean stud and three-card poker are a waste of time for would-be casino dealers.
Going for broke
"Dealing just sounds like a pretty cool job," said Pete Franco, 23, a bartender at Pizza Port in Carlsbad and student at North County Dealer School. "It's good money."
Franco signed up for the school with his cousin, Ryan Ortega, 24, a window-washer from Encinitas
"Pitching's hard, but there's other things I like," Franco said. After completing the course, Franco said he doesn't plan to move to Las Vegas.
"I'd like to be in a local casino," he said. "I like being near the beach."
Anna Verastica of Escondido finished Butta's class a few weeks ago and hopes to become a dealer at Harrah's, where she already has a job in the cashier's office.
"For a woman, it's good," she said about a dealer's flexible hours. "I don't like a schedule like everybody else. I can take care of my house and my husband."
With a few weeks to go before she can audition for a job as a dealer, Paull said she still is struggling to relearn many of the things she thought she knew about cards. "There's more to it than I thought," she said.
Paull practices at home on her ironing board.
"I play blackjack every night in front of the TV," she said, but ruefully admitted, "Fifty-two pickup is what I play most of the time."
