Still not convinced? Check out the reviews at Google Play, and let our users tell you how they experience using PowerMax
Extend your battery life
In testing we have seen a wide range of battery life improvement – from a mediocre 20% more to an impressive 100% – doubling battery life! Your device usage pattern has a direct affect on the savings – typically the more you use your device the higher the savings you will enjoy. Please note that our reports on the percent improvement in battery life will only start a few days after you install PowerMax. Why? Because PowerMax first learns what is your normal battery consumption, the baseline, and then calculates the improvement.
PowerMax is one of the most friendly and simple to use applications available today. On the main screen there is an On/Off switch. By clicking switch on, the Power Saver will be activated and save your battery, and by clicking off, PowerMax will restore your normal settings. When Power Saver Mode is on, your phone's functionality will be significantly reduced. But don't worry, this is just to save you power, you can always use your mobile's features on demand (email, internet applications etc).
* PowerMax can be downloaded for free then used for an evaluation period of one week. Once the evaluation period is over, PowerMax users who are not interested in purchasing a key can still continue using PowerMax in advertising supported mode. You can purchase a license key at any time to unlock the full functionality of the PowerMax.
** Please Email us if you run into any problems! We can't help you if you post negative feedback here, we are not mindreaders **
** PowerMax is SIMPLE. Compare it to Latedroid JuiceDefender or Green Power - so many confusing options to waste time learning about **
** PowerMax is CAPABLE. No other App can turn off GPS on recent Android devices. Compare it to One Touch battery saver **

College leaders quantify support role for Titan Cement
When UNCW Chancellor Gary Miller and Cape Fear Community College President Ted Spring get together, they look for mutually beneficial ways to solve what they call their intractable problems. They also explore avenues of economic growth for the region, which includes preparing students for a constantly evolving workplace.
WHQR's Rachel Lewis Hilburn recently asked them for their view of a healthy approach to growth in the region – and whether a Titan Cement plant is part of that.
A UNCW Professor of Business recently published an economic impact study blasting Titan's potential contribution – and in fact – concluding that Titan could very well have negative economic consequences for the region.
But Chancellor Miller says his job is to avoid taking a position and remain what he calls an honest broker.
"We are here as well to support economic growth and one of the big assets for companies moving into this area is that we have this community college and the university. And what we try to do and do, I think, very effectively. We help economic development groups present the package that they're using to attract industry."
President Spring of CFCC says a large part of his mission is work force development.
"We are here to work with industries that come and seek our advice. Businesses will locate in the community where they find educational services. Businesses are unlikely, in today's environment, to locate where they can't find employees -- trained employees. So Wilmington is very well-positioned with the University and the community college."

Happy Birthday Bubba-Jo-Lyn!
Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me
Happy birthday, and keep those jokes and funnies coming

Could this be the last year for Mariano Rivera or Andy Pettitte? Ah, not so fast. Neither player is quite ready to talk about the 2014 season or beyond just yet. Though they did mention when news would come. Pettitte pitched well after returning last season from retirement finishing with a 2.87 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. Turning 41 in June the left hander is unsure about 2014 and plans to wait until the winter to make an announcement. After injuring his knee shagging fly-balls during batting practice the all-time saves leader missed most of the 2012 season. Rivera said on Wednesday that he will make an announcement before spring training ends about his future. Rivera will wear a knee brace this this season but has showed no signs of slowing down in recent years.

|Social Bridge: searching beyond Friend of a Friend networks
|Mylavarapu, Teja Swaroop
|University of Missouri--Kansas City
|Social networking has turned into an integral constituent in our lives. There appears to be an imperative demand for finding and linking with others to share one's day-to-day activities. However, currently available search engines for social networking have limited features, such as searches for people mainly by name or finding people within a single domain. With the increasing popularity and complexity of social networks, there is a high demand to enhance current social networks with more advanced features such as, finding people according to their common interests, interaction patterns, or linking someone across domains beyond Friend of a Friend (FOAF) networks. This thesis aims to develop a social search engine, called the Social Bridge that dynamically generates an integrated social profile that portrays a user's profile of interests and interactions with others and helps him/her in connecting to others who share these common interests and interactions. The Social Bridge expands the FOAF concept of current social networking by defining the social strength that represents the degree of affability among people. Social Bridge is based on the integrated profiles of social networks generated by the level of interactions between friends and their respective interests (e.g., friends, likes, hash tags, etc.) extracted from their Twitter and Facebook profiles. The Social Bridge engine has been implemented using advanced methods and techniques including Information Retrieval Techniques (TF/IDF) and Fuzzy Logic. The Social Bridge framework is compared with the existing traditional social networking models and the proposed algorithms have proven to be powerful and efficient in finding potential friends for large social networks. The Social Bridge framework has been further evaluated through a survey of social network users for their feedback on its genuineness, correctness, and scalability.

Re: Creditsesa
me has not updated my score for sept and oct.
Hopefully this is the last post for this subject from me. The reason for me contacting creditsesame is, when the website says we have updated your information please click review now or review later, I can stay on this page if I click review later. If I click review now it logs out with a message that says we have encountered a internal or connection problem. Please contact CS to try and resolve the issue. I did and CS said contact Experian and see if I have freeze or fraud alert. I contacted Experian and I don't have either. That's when I posted should I send CS a new email or forget it. Thanks for trying to resolve this mess. I should have only made one post. Learned something here from this.

State Rep. Curry Todd indicted in Nashville on DUI, handgun possession charges
NASHVILLE -- Veteran state Rep. Curry Todd, R-Collierville, has been indicted by a Davidson County grand jury on charges of driving under the influence and possession of a weapon while under the influence.
The indictments also charge him with violation of the state's "implied consent" law by refusing to take an alcohol test during a Nashville traffic stop last October.
The indictments were returned Friday, four months after Todd waived his rights to a preliminary hearing and allowing the case to advance to the grand jury. Neither an arraignment nor trial date has been scheduled, according to the Davidson County Criminal Court clerk's office.
Todd, 64, who was first elected to the Tennessee legislature in 1998, was arrested by Nashville police on the night of Oct. 11 while driving on a busy thoroughfare near Vanderbilt University.
Nashville police said in affidavits that they stopped him after seeing him weaving in traffic. He was taken into custody after a field sobriety test and after police discovered a loaded, holstered .38-caliber pistol between the driver's seat and center console. He has a handgun-carry permit, although state law prohibits permit holders from going armed while intoxicated. His handgun-carry permit will be suspended if he's convicted.
His attorney, Worrick Robinson Jr., said the indictment "is something we've been expecting for some time. We just didn't know when. It's all part of the criminal process, so there's no surprise here."
Robinson said that after arraignment, "there will be an opportunity to exchange discovery (of evidence) and there will be some additional discussions with the district attorney's office to determine if this case will go to trial or be settled."
Todd, a retired Memphis police officer and former president of the Memphis Police Association, referred reporters to his attorney and declined comment. He faces no opposition for election to an eighth two-year term in this year's legislative elections.
In April, the lawmaker publicly told a House committee that he has a rare slow-growing form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma but that he's in stage one of the four-stage cancer and it doesn't affect his legislative duties.
Todd sponsored the controversial 2010 law allowing gun permit holders to go armed into places serving alcohol unless their owners have posted no-gun signs and as long as the permit holder is not drinking.

27 Jul 11 Day 5 100km past Charleville to Goondiwindi
Waking up after a peaceful nights sleeping to the sound of Ians farts and my snoring, to find ice covering my dry bag. After warming up, a quick feed we slowly made tracks, spreading ourselves out due to the dust hanging like fog and there being a roo or pig readying itself to commit suicide with the help of a KTM around every corner. Bollon was to be our morning smoko break and first chance to give the bikes a drink for the day, which was once again turning out to be another mild and sunny one. Taking the long way down and around to St George, we passed through Dirranbandi where I noticed a metallic slapping sound coming from below which wasnt my brass balls hitting the tank. Stopping to investigate, I found the chain had stretched and was in danger of skipping teeth. Out with the tools, the chain tightened and we were on our way again. Fuelling up in St George, Ian went to sort out lunch while I paid for the fuel. For the second day in a row I was to get the Muppet attendant serve me, this time she couldnt work out the change, so five minutes later and me having to take my boots off so I could count past ten, it was sorted. I wandered down the street to find Ian whod found us a good feed, which made up for the servo Muppets. For most of the morning wed been leap frogging each other as we made our way through gate after, gate, after gate and for the most we thought we could see the tracks of the guys who started in front of us in Marree. Asking at most stops, we found out that we were possibly only about an hour behind the guys in front of us. So with the aim of the day to get to the bike shop in Goondiwindi before knock off, we opened up the Katies and rolled into Goondiwindi at 1615. While trying to find the bike shop I saw another couple of bikes getting around which looked like they may have been on the Rally, but who knows as they didnt even wave as I went by. Finally finding the bike shop after a few wrong turns, I sorted a new chain and grabbed my pre-ordered rear tyre and found a spot out the back of the workshop to get into changing the tyre and chain. Ian took the easy (Older and wiser) mans way out and got the very helpful bike shop staff to do his tyres while he cleaned his air filter. Mean while I sweated it out thinking I was proving something by doing it myself. While all this was going on a guy pulled up on his BMW F800GS looking like hed done a few miles to be there. Turns out he was Greg who had started in Maree, not before doing the Canning Stock Route from WA to get there, and had separated from the other Marree starters during the day due some bike dramas. Greg had some how ended up with the axel nut for Ians bike, so it was luck we bumped into each other. After some more sweating, swearing and working out Id been given a road chain with a rivet link the bikes were ready to go and we were ready for a feed and much needed shower. Greg, whod been doing some exploring around town earlier in the day, sorted us a motel for the night where we got to some bench racing over a few beers and tea.

In recent years, many employers have shied away from telecommuting programs and arrangements, believing employees cannot perform their jobs as effectively from home or be adequately supervised while working remotely. Disputes naturally arise when such employers receive requests from disabled employees seeking telecommuting as an accommodation. Employers who genuinely place an emphasis on employees working at the office or job site can expect to find support from the courts when they deny such requests. However, these employers must be prepared to explain legitimate business justifications for their position on telecommuting and ensure their policies and past practices are consistent with that position.
With its passage in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) put forth the now commonly understood requirement that employers must provide disabled employees with accommodations enabling them to perform the essential functions of their jobs or otherwise enjoy employment opportunities equal to non-disabled co-workers. The ADA did not originally discuss whether or when telecommuting is a "reasonable" accommodation or causes an "undue hardship."

Quinton Jackson vs. Matt Lindland
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has a mixed martial arts record of 24-6. Quinton Jackson is a wrestler and known for his huge slams. He also has the ability to stand and strike. Jackson is currently on a two fight win streak and he'll look to add to that this Saturday when be breaks the law. Jackson much like Lindland is very experienced and has fought some of the best. "Rampage" has gone up against the likes of Wanderlei Silva, Shogun, Arona, Randleman, Ninja and many more.
Jackson is very good at blocking shots and when the fight goes to the clinch he tends to go for a leg and attempt a slam. He is a very powerful and explosive fighter. It'll be interesting to see how Lindland handles him as Rampage will be the bigger fighter.
Rampage is a fairly good wrestler but he cannot solely focus on that. If he does that this is what could lose him the fight as Lindland is the much better wrestler. He needs to expose Lindland's weaknesses and make sure he avoids playing into his strengths.
Rampage has very effective ground and pound and he is also versed in the submission. He can handle himself where ever the fight goes. I can't wait for Saturday to see Rampage break the law.
Matt "The Law" Lindland has a professional record of 18-3. He is currently on a seven fight win streak with victories over Lutter, Van Arsdale, Schembri, Doerksen, Weir, Leopoldo and Showalter. Lindland has spent his career at 185 lbs but he'll be making the move up to 205 lbs to face Quinton Jackson. Lindland's three losses came to Vitale, Terrell and Bustamente.
Lindland brings an amazing wrestling game to the octagon. Lindland was a silver medalist at the Olympics and afterwards he made his transition to mixed martial arts. Lindland trains with the likes of Randy Couture, Dan Henderson, Nate Quarry and more. He has very good greco roman wrestling.
My knock against Lindland is his chin. He got dropped by Vitale and Terrell, both which left him out cold. Quinton Jackson is just as good as those two if not better. Also Quinton Jackson is a natural 205 pound fighter. Lindland has weak striking and he throws wild punches to set up takedowns in the clinch. Against Jackson this may be a mistake because he'll leave himself open.
My Pick: Quinton Jackson
Bas Rutten vs. Ruben Villareal
"El Guapo" Bas Rutten sports a mixed martial arts record of 27-4-1. Bas is very well versed in submissions and he is also a dangerous striker. Bas began his career in Pancrase in 1993 and by 1995 he won his first "King of Pancrase" title. He won the title three more times later on. In 1998 he signed with the UFC and won the heavyweight belt.
Bas was forced to retire by 1999 because of some serious injures he suffered from. Bas blew out his knee which has had long term effects and he also tore his bicep. It will be interesting to see how his body holds up in a fight since he has not been active since the injury. It'll also be interesting to see how he handles the ring rust being on a seven year layoff.
Bas Rutten is well known for his kicks and punches to the liver. He has a background in tae kwon do, kyokushin and muay thai. He brings tons of experience to the octagon and has fought a who's who list of fighters. He is also currently on a seven fight winning streak.
"El Guapo's" original opponent was expected to be Kimo but he tested positive to a banned substance in his pre-fight drug test. Wes Sims was rumored to be the replacement but he has other commitments so Rutten will now face Ruben "Warpath" Villareal.
"Warpath" sports a record of 10-7-3 with nine of his wins coming by knockout. He recently fought Don Frye to a draw. The journeyman heavyweight has a wrestling background.
My Pick: Bas Rutten
Marvin Eastman vs. Jorge Oliveira
Marvin "The Beastman" Eastman sports a mixed martial arts record of 13-6. Eastman is a former football player who spent some time in the CFL with the Calgary Stampeders. Many fight fans will remember "The Beastman" from his fight against Vitor Belfort in which Belfort nailed Eastman with a knee which opened up a huge cut.
Eastman always comes into his fights in very good shape. Eastman has experience in muay thai and he has wrestled for over 15 years. In his 19 fights he has gone up against the likes of Vitor Belfort, Rich Franklin, Vernon White, and Quinton Jackson along with others.
Jorge Oliveira is a former student of Carlson Gracie. He now trains with Chute Boxe USA. He has a mixed martial arts record of 2-1. Oliveira has a good ground game and his striking is improving as he is training with Chute Boxe. Oliveria lacks experience and he hasn't fought the big names which scatter Eastman's card. Eastman should prove to be a fairly tough test for Oliveira.
My Pick: Marvin Eastman
Rob McCullough vs. Harris Sarmiento
"Razor" Rob McCullough sports a mixed martial arts record of 12-3. Eight of his wins have come by knockout/technical knockout. He is currently on a six fight win streak with his last lost coming against none other then Sarmiento. This is a rematch from their previous fight which saw Sarmiento win via a judge's decision. McCullough is a difficult fighter to finish and all of his losses have been decisions.
"Razor" Rob is a very accomplished muay thai fighter and he is the five time United World Muay Thai Assositation Champion. He is also a very good kick boxer.
Harris Sarmiento has a record of 18-14. He is currently on a four-fight losing streak with losses to big names such as Josh Thomson and Gilbert Melendez. He brings lots of experience to the cage as he has fought big names such as Nick Diaz, Josh Thomson, Gilbert Melendez, and more.
One big thing I noticed about Sarmiento's record is that ten of his victories have come by decisions. That goes to show me that he lacks the killer instinct and has trouble finishing his opponents.
My Pick: Rob McCullough
Jason Miller vs. Lodune Sincaid
Jason "Mayhem" Miller is an interesting character. His off the wall antics inside and outside of the octagon make him an instant hit with many fans. "Mayhem" has a mixed martial arts record of 15-4. He would have liked to have been much more active this year but he found himself in legal troubles which forced him to drop a title fight with Robbie Lawler in Icon Sport.
"Mayhem" Miller possesses tons of heart. There is no quit in him and his fight against Georges St. Pierre is a perfect example of this. "Mayhem" is a very talented submission artist. Ten of his fifteen wins have come from the submission. "Mayhem" is an average striker. He is also very flexible which helps him when applying and avoiding submissions.
In the past "Mayhem" has spent time training up at Big Bear with Team Punishment. He is now said to be training at the new Legends Gym which is run by former UFC champions Randy Couture and Bas Rutten.
Miller is currently on a three-fight winning streak with victories against Gamlin (he is 362 lbs), Vitale and Moreno. His last loss came against UFC superstar Georges St. Pierre in which he lost a unanimous decision. That is a pretty good feat considering the only other two fighters to take St. Pierre to a decision are Karo Parisyan and B.J. Penn. It'll be interesting to see how Miller handles fighting at 205lbs.
Miller's opponent is Lodune "The Vanilla Gorilla" Sincaid. A lot of fans will know Sincaid from his time spent on the first season of 'The Ultimate Fighter'. While on the show Sincaid came across as a funny yet weird character. He spent more time drinking then focusing on fighting. He only fought once while on the show and was knocked out by Bobby Southworth.
Sincaid has a mixed martial arts record of 9-2 and he is currently on a three-fight winning streak with victories over Alex Schoenauer, James Irvin and Dan Molina.
Sincaid has a background in tae kwon doe and wrestling. Six of his victories have come from submissions.
My Pick: Jason Miller
Ivan Salaverry vs. Art Santore
Ivan Salaverry sports a mixed martial arts record of 11-4. The Canadian born fighter has a background in karate, wrestling, jiu-jitsu and kickboxing. Salaverry is recently coming off of a loss to Nathan Mardquart which say him get the boot from the UFC. Salaverry has expressed his opinion on the situation and it wasn't friendly.
Salaverry trains with AMC Pancration and has fought the likes of Mardquart, Riggs, Lindland and more. He brings good experience to the octagon and should be fine handling the pressure of fighting in a big show.
Art "Pachuco" Santore sports a mixed martial arts record of 14-4. He trains with Team Quest and has a jiu-jitsu background.
Santore has never really faced any big names and has spent most of his time in smaller shows. He will have his hands full with Salaverry.
My Pick: Ivan Salaverry
Ron Waterman vs. Ricco Rodriguez
Ron "H2O" Waterman has a mixed martial arts record of 13-3-2. He has fought the likes of Cro Cop, TK, Randleman, Rodriguez and more. He has fought in PRIDE so he brings some valuable experience with him.
Waterman is a very big and agile heavyweight. He is an all-American wrestler and a very gifted athlete. His bread and butter is his ground and pound. When on the canvas Waterman has a very strong based which allows him to work the ground and pound.
Waterman and Rodriguez have already fought once in the past. The fight took place on 08/18/2005 at WEC Clash of the Titans II. Waterman defeated Rodriguez via a unanimous decision.
Ricco "Sauve" Rodriguez has a mixed martial arts record of 22-6. Fourteen of those victories came via submissions. Ricco is the former UFC heavyweight champion. He lost his belt to the current UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia. He later went on to fight in PRIDE where he lost.
Lately things haven't been too good for Ricco. His weight has balloon and he is now in terrible shape. To do well in this fight he needs to get himself focused again and get back into the shape he used to be in. He seems to be in it for a pay check and that's all.
Ricco is currently 280 lbs and he is training with Team Punishment. He has a background in wrestling and jiu-jitsu. He will bring loads of experience into the octagon as he has battled against the likes of Nogueira, Rizzo, Couture, Arlovski and many more.
My Pick: Ron Waterman
Vernon White vs. Ryoto Machida
Vernon "Tiger" White sports a mixed martial arts record of 24-27-2. The star pupil of Ken Shamrock's Lions Den is currently on a two fight winning streak with victories over Jason Guida and Alex Stiebling. White comes to the fight with tons of experience. In the past he has fought the likes of Chuck Liddell, Jeremy Horn, Bas Rutten, Kazushi Sakuraba and many more.
Vernon White brings a very well rounded game to the octagon. He has the ability to throw a very hard front leg roundhouse to the head and leg. Also from time to time he'll try to mix in the flying knee. White is very well versed in submissions and he is very good when on the bottom. He brings a lot of explosiveness when he fights and he has no fear of standing and going toe to toe. In the past he has shown the ability to regain his composure when in trouble and he has a good recovery time.
Ryoto Machida enters this fight with a ton of hype surrounding him. The undefeated prospect sports a mixed martial arts record of 7-0 with victories over the likes of B.J. Penn, Rich Franklin and tough K-1 fighter Michael McDonald. That is a pretty impressive resume for a young prospect. I don't know a ton about Machida's game as I've only seen him fight twice (Bonnar, Franklin) but I think it is safe to say he brings a pretty solid striking game. He was able to dominated Rich Franklin and Stephan Bonnar, both of who are great strikers and he has a victory over Michael McDonald who is a K-1 caliber striker. It'll be interesting to see how Machida handles a veteran like Vernon "Tiger" White. This fight could be Machida's coming out party in the States.
My Pick: Ryoto Machida
I did not recap the other two fights on the card because the bouts are still not confirmed. Be sure to check out Dr.J's WFA preview.
Jose Landi-Jons has pulled out his fight against Edwin Aguilar. No reason was provided but his replacement is Danish striker Martin Kampmann.
Kimo Leopoldo will no longer be fighting Bas Rutten at WFA King of the Streets. Kimo tested positive to a banned substance and has been pulled from the card. Wes Sims was thought to be the late replacement but he is unable to because he cannot fight twice in a seven day span. Sims decided to take the fight on the WEC "The Hitman" card.
The last time Kimo fought in the US against Ken Shamrock, he failed his post-fight drug test. He served his suspension and since he is making his return to the US for the first time since his suspension he was required to undergo a pre-fight drug test which he failed. Reports state that the drug Kimo tested positive for was the anabolic steroid Stanozolol.
ESPN is keeping with it's MMA theme, having Bas Rutten on The Hot List one day after UFC announced it's main event for UFC 63.
The payouts from UFC 61: Bitter Rivals have been released.
-Tito Ortiz: $210,000 (defeated Ken Shamrock in co-main event)
-Tim Sylvia: $120,000 (defeated Andrei Arlovski in co-main event)

UFC veterans Nick Diaz and John Alessio will face-off August 12th in an upcoming event in Stockton, California. Nick Diaz is currently on a three-fight losing streak with losses to Diego Sanchez, Joe Riggs, and Sean Sherk and John Alessio is coming off a tough decision loss to Diego Sanchez.

Contra: iOS 6.0.1 Jailbreak iPhone, iPAD, iPOD Touch Unlock iPhone 5/4S/4/3GS Jailbreaking iO
iPhone, you should stay away from 6.1 iOS updates that will be released this year and wait until one of the teams supplies a tool to create custom IPSW files and unlock your iDevice. This will give your phone all the cool stuff of iOS 6.0.1 and keep the unlocked software on your
iPhone. If you update to 6.1 all the jailbreak software will be erased from you iPhone including Our Solution.
The original iPhone unlocker, has released a new tool called "Pro et contra", that will jailbreak all Apple "touch" devices, on firmware iOS 6.0.1 and 5. It works similar to "Pro et contra-V0.01", but uses a different exploit than Pro et contra-V0.01 have used. It is said to be very fast, with no
restore needed. So far, the software is only available for Windows and Mac but Linux version is on the way.
The latest version of Pro et contra-V0.01 Untethered jailbreaks iOS 5 , iOS iOS 6.0.1 and iOS 4.3.3 for every iOS device except the iPad 2,
which still hasn't been cracked by a non-userland exploit. It downloads all the files it needs right from Apps.

From Med to English channel by French canals
There are several nice inland waterways from Med to English Channel.
I hope that someone have done that trip earlier and could help me.
What is the fastest way? How long time will it take?
My boat is 34feet long and 1,75 deep.
Best regards,
Here's the dimensions you need:
** Greatest length 38.5 meters
** Maximum beam 5.0 m.
** Maximum draft 1.8 m.
** Maximum air draft 3.5 m. (ie bridge clearance).
Amazon has a book by MCKNIGHT which is widely used as the guide for the canals.
Amazon.com: Cruising French Waterways, Third Edition: Books: Hugh McKnight
Is that possible to "sail" from Med to English Channel through inland canals? Interesting!!
Unless you have a mast 10 ft. high...I wouldn't call it sailing!...but a lot of sailboats step their masts and make the journey. Here's a map:
If you use the popular canal du midi, check your draft. I hear it sometimes only offers 1.4m.
Mais mon ami... ca c'est pour les Belges. Il y a plus que deux metres pour les autres navigateurs :-)

How to Explain Your Return to the Job Market
Job Interviewing Tips: Explaining Why You are Returning to the Job Market
By Carole Martin,
Interview Coach
Some people's lives begin to sound like a Soap Opera because there have been so many extenuating circumstances. Nobody's perfect. But nobody wants to hear about your problems and baggage either. Especially in the job interview. The following is some advice to handle those tricky situations when interviewing that may be difficult to talk about let alone explain.
A. Returning to the Workforce After an Extended Absence.
1. Be able to explain why you have decided that now is the time for you to return to the work force – why now?
Have a prepared convincing statement about your goals or intentions of remaining in the work force after being away for a period of time – this is best done by scripting and practicing your answer so that you feel confident saying it in the interview.
2. Make sure that you are up-to-date on changes that have occurred in your field in your absence.
You might consider taking a brush up class or course. It is important that you be able to show that you can "hit the ground running," particularly with so many candidates to choose from in this economy.
3. Do some research, using the internet to discover what is required in the type of position you are seeking.
Job postings
are "wish lists" that employers put together in hopes of finding the perfect candidate. Use these postings to see what employers are seeking and make sure that your resume and your interview answers address the employer's "wishes."
4. Focus on your strengths – the skills that you have used in the past.
Think of five skills that you consider you do "best." If your strengths are in sync with the employer's wish list, emphasize your ability and past experiences using those skills to show that you have "been there and done that" and can do it again.
5. Send a follow up letter (or email) after the interview to remind the interviewer what you would bring to the position and to address any concerns that you may have picked up on during the interview.
B. Changing Careers, But You Have No or Little Experience at the New Career.
1. When you change careers the focus will be on the "softer" skills – referred to as "transferable" or "portable" skills.
These skills include communication skills, ability to work with a diversity of people, ability to plan and organize, time management, etc.
2. Each candidate is unique. What makes you unique?
Think about your personality and your personal traits. One of the things that the interviewer is looking for is "someone to fit in" – who is likeable – who will work well with the other team members.
Personal traits could be the tie breaker between two equally qualified people. Think of at least five personal traits that make you unique – friendly, flexible, quick learner, reliable, responsible, easy to get along with.
3. Believe in yourself. Show confidence in the interview that you can do the job.
Any sales person will tell you that when you believe in your product and its reliability it will is far easier to sell and influence someone to buy.
4. Prepare five to ten questions to ask about the company.
It is also important to listen to what is said as a way to formulate other questions. If a certain topic, for example, "databases," has been brought up, be sure to ask questions about the database; the challenges and the problems with the database.
5. Prepare stories about your past experiences where you used similar skills that would be needed for the position you are interviewing for.
When you can show examples of past successes, you will have a better chance of showing the interviewer that you have used similar skills even if the job duties are different.
C. Moms Returning to Work After Time Off for Children.
1. It is very important to assess what you have to offer. Not just the skills required for the position, but the "added value" you can bring.
An example would be your ability to work with a diversity of people, or coordinate events without missing deadlines, or stay calm in the face of stress. These are all skills that most "mothers" can do without even breathing heavy.
Sometimes no matter how much you prepare for your job interview and how much you try you will receive a rejection – and not get the job.
When rejection comes, it may trigger old wounds from past life experiences. You may feel angry and fed up with the way you are being treated.
Instead of being stuck and feeling rejected, take back the power by staying proactive.
If you really wanted to work for that particular company, sit down and write a letter, stating how disappointed you were. Remind them of all the positive traits you could bring to the organization. Let them know that you are still interested in working for the company if something should change or open up.
Resilience is needed in today's job market. This is no place for "sissies" – be prepared to keep trying. Never give up and be sure to be prepared for those interviews!

Review: Lepage offers eye-popping 3-D `Siegfried'
NEW YORK Welcome to the 3-D "Siegfried" - and we're not just talking about the dwarfs, the dragon and Deborah Voigt.
Sure, all of them were onstage Thursday night as the Metropolitan Opera premiered the third installment of Robert Lepage's production of Wagner's "Ring" cycle.
But the Canadian director has found a new technological trick to make this latest effort unique: computerized projections that interact with the set and create an optical illusion that we are watching the singers against a living, three-dimensional backdrop.
The basic set remains the same as in "Das Rheingold" and "Die Walkuere" - a 45-ton "Machine" composed of two dozen giant planks that rotate (still too noisily!) on a single axis and move up and down to form various shapes: a stand of trees, a mountainside, the roof of a cave.
Now the 3-D projections can lend this metallic surface an appearance of depth and movement. Thus, in the brooding opening measures of Acts 1 and 2, snakes and other creepy-crawly creatures really seem to be writhing through a thickly wooded terrain. Later, the rocks that form the dragon's lair appear to jut out in front of us. And - most magically of all - the forest bird who sings to Siegfried flies through the air and lands on the branches of trees.
All this with no glasses required!
Lepage has been criticized in previous installments for allowing his massive set to circumscribe the movements of the singers. That's still true to some extent, though he may be learning from his mistakes.
The Act 1 forest cave where Mime the dwarf has reared the young hero Siegfried is scrunched back on one side into a trough behind the apron (similar to Hunding's hut in Act 1 of "Die Walkuere"). It lessens the impact of the climactic sword-forging scene and means that to move between the cave and a hillside, the singers have to keep climbing up and down an awkward set of steps.
But in Acts 2 and 3, Lepage opens up the apron, giving room for more natural interplay among the characters. As a result, the final scene - in which Siegfried climbs through a ring of magic fire to awaken the sleeping Bruennhilde on a mountaintop - is both visually stunning and dramatically engrossing, even without any 3-D.
Musically, by far the most noteworthy ingredient of the night was the astonishing playing by the orchestra as led by Fabio Luisi, the Met's new principal conductor.
In the first two acts, Luisi wove an elegant, chamber music-like texture with brisk tempos that made clear how closely this opera resembles the scherzo of a symphony. In the final act, when Wagner's orchestration thickens, Luisi elicited magnificent waves of sound without sacrificing individual detail.
Luisi took over conducting duties for ailing music director James Levine, who has done so much to build the orchestra into one of the finest in the world. Levine still hopes to conduct three complete "Ring" cycles in the spring, but if he cannot, it's now clear the project will be in terrific hands.

Last Time on Superhero Renders
WOWEEEEE, your facial morphs for your Batman Family, WW and Supes are just so spot on! Great Googly Moogly!
Thanks, Richard.
Honestly, in Batman's case (and Batgirl's, to a slightly lesser extent), the cowl does, like, 90% of the work (thanks again, Cage!). Wonder Woman uses stevekitt52's Diana of Themyscira morph at 50%, with a little dialspun tweaking, and Superman and Robin are totally dialspun. I'm not quite the master morpher that CD20xx is/was, but my goal was to be at least evocative of George, Adam, Burt, Yvonne and Lynda, if not 100% Madame Tussaud accurate, so your praise means a lot. I appreciate it.

So I thought of something in a game like Destiny I would like to have. I don't know if this is in any other games, but whatever. Say you get this armor piece for a character that looks really cool. Then you get better armor that has better stats, but looks less cool. I think it would be really awesome if you could give the armor with better stats the skin of the cool looking armor. You could make your character look however you wanted without making him suck compared to others on his level. I think THAT would be true customization. Thoughts?
Kempolazer8/28/2014 9:21:39 PM PermalinkThe only disadvantage to this would be you could hide your exotic armor piece in pvp. Once we all learn the exotics and their abilities identification of said items will be a nice advantage to have. Adds more tactical thinking.
