Previous to reading The Next Forever, I hadn't read its big-sister novel, Pretty Amy. At the time, I honest to goodness didn't know this novella was connected in any way, shape, or form to that novel. I had seen Pretty Amy before on Goodreads and read its description, but never gave it enough thought to purchase and read. The only reason for this is because I had been burned so badly in the past on other contemporary novels/ novels presently-set in my many years of reading. By my confusion and Burstein's amazing, awe-inspiring, moving, and most of all breathtaking style of writing, I have now a new love for the contemp. genre. Lisa's gift did what no other book could do. I don't even think I could call Lisa's way with words a gift; it spans so far beyond that. Lisa is an artist with what she does with letters and words. She bends them to her will, infuses them with emotion, and forces them onto the reader. She is very talented indeed.
The story of the two teens may seem cliché to some people, but it stole my breath with every word, every thought Amy or Joe had. As the main protagonists, they too became artists and painted a world where thoughts consume and temptation beckons. They twisted and danced around each other as they showed us what was like to be them. To have everything and be tempted to lose it. To have everything and might not want it. Watching them struggle was hard. I felt like I was the one who was having these doubts rather than the protagonists.
There were many things I loved about this novella. One of them being the fact that you didn't have to read Pretty Amy to get acquainted with each character on an emotional level. It felt like I had read Pretty Amy and more when the protagonists thought of their history together. Honestly, this could have been a stand-alone and I wouldn't have been the wiser, so articulate is Lisa when she shows glimpses into their past. Or rather glimpses into Pretty Amy.
Lyrical and playing deeply into the reader's emotions, The Next Forever shows what it feels like to question everything.

The Next Forever was a great refresher from all the other paranormal/dystopian novels that I've been reading. It's the perfect, short, and relaxing read. It's a book of doubts, questions, and loyalty...
Lisa Burnstein had me captivated the instant I started this book! I couldn't put stop! She had me questioning both Amy's and Joe's faith and if they were actually meant to be. Lisa shows the conflicts and temptations that stems from insecurity and honesty within relationships. Amy questions her inner self and "Will you go back to the way you were before?" is always harboring her mind. Joe wants a way in to the fraternity, even though he knows Amy wouldn't want him to. They both meet new characters and rediscovers their selves.
I loved how The Next Forever was written. Kept at a good pace, the book flowed really well. The only thing I didn't like was how that I felt like I met a fake Amy not the real one. And I think that she most definitely can she fun without passing her limits! Other than that, it's a great read most teens will enjoy! The battle between oneself is revealed and The Next Forever gives an insight on a real and raw relationship
where everything isn't perfect...

The transition between high school and the "freedom" of college can be hard on a relationship. Some survive, some don't. For Amy and Joe, their relationship is put to the test as Joe tries to keep a secret by lying to Amy and for her part; Amy's eyes are wandering to the bad boy in the shadows. What if they both get caught red-handed? Can their relationship stand the drama?
Short, simple, yet filled with conflict and a feeling of darkness, The Next Forever by Lisa Burstein is a quick read that actually nails the feelings of many young couple going off to college. Well-written, with two interesting side-characters that made this tale, and two concurrently running sides to the dating/dishonesty coin, Ms. Burstein wraps it up neatly at the end! Great dialogue, great snippets from inside everyone's heads and hearts.

It's no secret that I'm a fan of everything about this book - 1) It's New Adult. 2) It's a contemporary romance. 3) It's told through alternating points-of-view. Slam dunk.
I like how Lisa Burstein approaches the college dating scene from the perspective of a long-term, committed relationship. Usually, it's all about finding 'the one,' but what if you're already with 'the one?' Would you get bored? Would things get stale? Would change force you apart? Would you go looking for excitement with someone else?
And that's where things get interesting. Amy has a troubled past, police record and all. Joe is the solid, dependable guy who keeps her on track. When he asks her to move in with him, she freaks.
The inner conflict of Amy trying to bury her bad girl side is compelling. Deep down, she knows what she wants. But it's allowing herself to feel worthy of happiness, that's the problem. It's easier to play a role, than to be who she really is. That's why she agrees to go to a party with Trevor, a guy totally unworthy of her. She's testing her limits to see how far she will go without Joe holding her back. Will she get drunk and sleep with Trevor to prove a point? Will she be strong enough to resist the temptation? The tension is well-crafted.
Meanwhile, Joe is seduced at a frat party by Emily, a cosmetology student looking to snag a future lawyer. Joe doesn't want to cheat on Amy, but with a half-naked girl throwing herself at him, he begins to entertain the possibility, especially after a few beers.
Burstein does a good job of questioning whether or not we need someone else to validate our happiness. Can a college-age couple stay devoted to each other in a world filled with casual hook-ups, raging hormones and easy dorm room access? This freedom of choice brings confusion to the clarity they have when they're alone together. They both stumble when they try flirting with someone else. It doesn't feel natural. It doesn't feel right. Not to mention, Trevor and Emily are more practiced in their seduction techniques; they are literally forces of nature.
Will Amy and Joe stay strong or will they succumb? The final confrontation between the four characters is one dramatic scene, and the resulting fallout is a surprise not to be missed.

The Next Forever by Lisa Burstein
Book 1.5 of the Pretty Amy series
Publisher: Entangled Publishing
Publication Date: January 13, 2013
Rating: 4 stars
Source: eARC provided by the publisher
Summary (from Goodreads):
One night in college can change everything…
Away at college, Amy just wants one night alone without her high school sweetheart, Joe. So when he invites her to go to the library, she heads off on her own instead. How she ended up at a house party with the mysterious bad-boy Trevor is another story…
Joe so isn't going to the library. He needs space from Amy, too, so he's decided to rush a fraternity, to get back the swagger he had in high school. But it doesn't take long for the brothers to invite him to the real rush here the beer is flowing and one particular girl has set her eyes on Joe.
Over the course of one wild night, both Amy and Joe will have to decide if their futures belong with two new people, or whether the next forever will have their first loves in it.
What I Liked:
First, let me start by saying that this book is very short, as it is a novella. It involves Amy and Joe, characters from Lisa Burstein's debut, Pretty Amy. Here's the thing:
I have never read Pretty Amy.
When I accepted an eARC of this book from Entangled, I didn't exactly realize that this novella was based off of Pretty Amy. Nevertheless, as I was reading The Next Forever, it was obvious that I did not read to read Pretty Amy to read this novella. So much is explained in The Next Forever, that background of the series is not need.
Ms. Burstein does an excellent job weaving in past moments betwen Amy and Joe, and showing the characters' thoughts about each other, how they were in the past, and are now, as a couple, in the present. The indecision of both characters is clear and understandable; it's two people in college, finding their way through their new relationship, from being friends to more than friends.
I absolutely loved how this novella was broken down into chapters of alternating points of view. Readers truly get to see the how Amy feels, and her feelings are paralleled with Joe's feelings in the next chapter. I really cannot say enough about how well the emotions and feelings are explored in this book - on both sides.
And the ending: this novella is short, and the ending is expected (in my opinion), but I really liked it, and thought that it was sweet.
What I Did Not Like:
While I loved seeing into Amy and Joe's past, some of the lengthy passages are a little stifling. I followed the story easily, but sometimes it was too easy to get confused with the past and present. This was not a huge factor in my overall judgment of the novella.
Would I Recommend It:
Yes, I would! Even if you have not read Pretty Amy, this novella is a quick read, and it deals with college-age issues.
4 stars. Nice job, Ms. Burstein!
Posted May 16, 2013
Wow! Lisa's craft, story, and characters is simply amazing.
This novella takes place after PRETTY AMY, but can be read on its own - and I absolutely recommend that you do. It packs a punch, that's for sure.
A couple in college, tension, and uncertainties. So very well written.

Amy and Joe have started college after spending a wonderful summer reacquainting themselves and spending every moment together - just the two of them. Suddenly thrown in a different setting where there are new experiences to discover, new people to get to know and new temptations, Amy and Joe try hard to remember why they are together in the first place. Joe tries to hard to hang on to Amy, while Amy struggles once again with who she wants to be.
It was great to visit with Amy and Joe and see them together after all they went through to resume their friendship and take the next step into couple-hood. This time around we get to read a bit of Joe's side of the story and truly get an idea of what his feelings are toward Amy. Through his point of view I got to know him better and understand why he had his doubts and hesitations. I admired his loyalty to Amy, his caring side and his need to take care of her.
This time around Amy got on my nerves just a bit. I understand that what she went through previously had affected her in a tremendous way, but to her have question herself again and put at risk everything she worked so hard to achieve with Joe just didn't sit well with me. Then again, she is a young woman in college trying to decide which path to take and her only other experience had been who she had been in previous years, so in the end I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and keep on reading.
I'm glad I did since I enjoyed reading how both Amy and Joe came to realize what truly mattered in their life. I liked how the author, Lisa Burstein, brought each characters' point of view to the page revealing their needs and insecurities and I especially liked how they went about in resolving their issues. I believe that the author portrayed their relationship and the struggles of having a relationship at this time in their lives in a realistic and believable way. She didn't hold back and make it an easy choice - Amy and Joe lied, pondered and weighted their needs and wants against what was best for them and their relationship. I appreciated that fact because it gave me hope that this couple had a chance of making it.
The Next Forever is a novella in the Pretty Amy series and in my opinion, it should not be read as a stand alone story. I believe that Pretty Amy, the first book in the series, should be read first so that the reader gets the full scope of what Amy has gone through and why she struggles with this particular issue and get the full story of how Amy and Joe came to be a couple.
I received this title from Entangled Publishing through NetGalley in exchange of my honest opinion.

This is a cute little love story about discovering who you are and learning to make the right decisions for your own reasons. Amy reminded me a lot of the struggles that my own teenage girls go through. Making decisions because it is what people expect of you versus making decisions because it is what you want to do. Amy had gotten into trouble in high school by doing what her friends expected - and then Joe had saved her. Joe, the boy who had loved her in silence since she was ten, who had lived across the street from her forever, but who had only recently became so much more.
Amy has a little bit of a destructive streak and is having a hard time figuring out why. She begins to learn a little more about herself one night while attending a party with Trevor - a bad boy who lives in her dorm. She has been watching him since college started, but she is usually shadowed by her boyfriend Joe. Trevor knows just which questions to ask to make her second guess herself.
Joe, knowing how Amy feels about fraternities, tells her he is going to study at the library - but instead attends a frat party - one that he is considering rushing. He soon finds himself with a half-naked girl, who is one of many girls there, whose soul purpose at the party seems to be for hooking up with the frat boys and their guests.
Their decisions that night will either make or break their relationship - but you will have to read it to find out!
It was a quick read at only 97 pages - but it is one that I am going to recommend to my daughters - to let them know that the way they are feeling is normal and all a part of growing up!

Ahhhh, GOBSMACKED!
THE NEXT FOREVER by Lisa Burstein is such a short read (a small novella), yet it was epic! Obviously, cheating isn't right, but I don't know how she made me enjoy reading the story of a boyfriend (Joe) and girlfriend (Amy) at separate parties, wondering if they'd end up hooking up with someone else.
I absolutely recommend this novella. I haven't read book #1 in the series, so if you haven't, don't worry.
As much as I enjoy naughty, sexy reads, I always, absolutely need a message to take from a book. I assure you, that THE NEXT FOREVER, is a great read, and leaves you with more than lust and want from the sexual-tension taut scenes. It satisfied me wholly as a reader, which is why I give it *5 stars*.

"The next forever was all that mattered."
I am truly at a loss with my review. I want to talk about The Next Forever, and how amazingly honest and insightful I found it to be, but I can't make my heart go there.
Lisa Burstein is a gift to young women, and the people who love these girls. I wish, so much, that Pretty Amy and The Next Forever had been around when I was younger. How much easier my life might have been if I had been able to hand my mom, dad, or boyfriend (now husband) one of these books and said "You truly want to know me? What's going on inside my head? Here, read this." I find so much of myself in Amy that it is scary. And the way in which Burstein is able to convey the angst, the questions, the doubts that consume Amy's thoughts... it truly blows my mind.
The Next Forever is not "Pretty Amy 1.5: Amy and Joe Live Happily Ever After". What it is is a honest, sometimes heartbreaking look at what happens next. The doubts Amy has about her choices, her ability to think and speak for herself. Joe has his own worries. He's a "saver". What will he become to Amy if she no longer needs him to rescue her from herself. For this, I give Burstein major love. So often in books, we want that happy ever after, wrapped up nice and neat. But that's not life, and it's not fair to always portray it as such. Like we all do, Amy and Joe realize that each day is takes work, each day is a gift, and each day is it's own forever.
Once again, Lisa Burstein has proved to me that her books are invaluable, must-reads if you were, have ever or will ever love an "Amy". THANKS, Lisa, for giving all of us a voice.

Review copy received from publisher.
"Maybe because now we were more than friends, it also meant we were less."
THE NEXT FOREVER is a tightly written, fast-paced novella. I didn't actually know this was a novella when I requested it, but I'd heard great things about Lisa Burstein, so I jumped at the chance to read something written by her. And even though I typically do not enjoy novellas, I was thoroughly invested in Amy and Joe's story by the end.
THE NEXT FOREVER is full of tension (both sexual and the regular kind) and suspense. The pace moves quickly, but nothing seems rushed. The chapters alternate between Amy & Joe's voices, and Burstein does a great job at giving them both distinct voices and personalities. I do wish I had read PRETTY AMY before this, as I think it would give a lot more insight into the characters. And even though I still enjoyed THE NEXT FOREVER, I would recommend reading PRETTY AMY first.
All in all, this is a solid story and I look forward to reading Burstein's other work.
Posted February 5, 2013
Why I Loved It: Oh Amy and Joe. There has been some serious growing up on their part. Ms. Burstein's adult novella is missing some of the grit of Dear Amy, but the romance is there in full force. Once again this is real romance. When you are in a serious relationship, most people doubt, question, and fear what the commitment means. Ms. Burstein shows her power as a writer in her ability to recreate parts of growing up that everyone experiences.
Many of us won't go as far as Amy or end up walking home half-naked girls wearing your clothes leaving you in turn half-naked like Joe. But we doubt our love, mentally explore other options. Once we leave the honeymoon stage of the relationship getting older can be a scary reality along with the reality of depending on someone else to love you. Once again Amy's decisions frustrated me, left me emotionally spent as she made on little stupid decision after another. But I understood. I got her and Joe. They are very relatable characters.
College and feelings of loneliness that come were captured perfectly. Love and hope were so perfectly portrayed that I wonder at the magical pen Ms. Burstein must have. Just kidding, she is just a literary genius. This novella, after Pretty Amy, has put her on my auto-buy list. She's just that good, in my opinion.
Who Should Read It: Definitely a must for people who loved Pretty Amy. I think you could probably read this one on its own even if you have not read her first book. I think people who love reality portrayed in a book, complete with a happy ending, will love this book.

I was given a copy of this novella by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
After hearing a lot of cheeping in the twitterverse about this book; I needed to read it to see what all the fuss was about. Within the first few pages I could see the need for fuss. As you may know, I am not a huge fan of short stories as the pace has to be quick and the characters are often underdeveloped. Well, I started this book knowing it was a short novella therefore I was giving it the benefit of doubt. Take note: this is how a novella is done!
I loved it, the pages were few but the content was jam packed. Lisa Burstein crammed so much characterisation into the MC's that one sentence could literally reveal a whole history. Joe and Amy were so well developed; the interaction between them was loaded with intense emotion.
I didn't read the first book in the series 'Pretty Amy' beforehand as I had read Lisa's blog post stating that the books were pretty much standalone and could be read in any order. I didn't feel by jumping straight into this book that I had missed half of the plot or the backgrounds of these characters as Lisa done a great job of weaving some previous details throughout the story. There are of course some unanswered questions I have and I will definitely be reading Pretty Amy in the near future!
My opinions changed as I read this story and I have learned that I make assumptions very quickly. When we were first introduced to Amy, she was having doubts about her relationship with Joe. Their relationship felt very intense and I got the impression they felt obligated to be together due to their past. So when 'bad boy' Trevor was introduced with his cigarettes, leather jacket and smouldering looks I wanted Amy to go off to the party with him and have fun as I assumed Joe was holding her back. I couldn't have been more wrong. Amy wanted to test herself to see if she could be a person without relying on Joe and that they were in this relationship for the right reasons.
"I'm doing the same thing, finding my worth in someone else's eyes. I guess I was just making sure that for once you were my decision."
"You were always my decision. You will always be my decision."
Temptation is put in both Amy and Joe's path (Joe's comes in the form of "Slutty McSlutterson") but it is their connection to each other and the realisation that they do want to make their relationship work that unites them.
This book is about a night of self discovery for both Joe and Amy. They soon find out that it is easy to promise each other forever when you are 17 but trying to make it as a couple in the real world without losing who you are as an individual is the real challenge. For Amy and Joe to learn how to strike the balance and move forward together as a couple gave me a warm mushy feeling.
"I knew that if life were as simple as locking her door and ordering takeout, we could stay like that for the rest of our lives. I knew that life wasn't that simple, but for the next forever maybe it could be."
Posted January 30, 2013
I LOVED Pretty Amy, it totally said what was true, and I think I could save a lot of girls from doing things they shouldn't. It was a great life lesson.
THE NEXT FOREVER wasn't a life lesson, it was a NA Comtemp. Romance, and it was still good! I loved reading Amy and Joe's story.
The only thing that didn't enjoy very much, was how they kept arguing with themselves throughout the whole book, they weren't sure what they wanted, and they were having a hard time figuring out what they wanted, so through the whole book, it was them arguing with themselves.
Now, I'm not an adult yet, I'm still a teen, a young teen at that, and maybe I just didn't understand that. (most likely)
But the ending did it in for me, it was such a happy ending, and I hope we get to read more about Joe and Amy in the future!! And the cover...woooeee...;)

Amy and Joe are in their first semester of college and are transitioning not only into the college scene, but also in a transition from dating in high school, to dating in college. It is obvious from the beginning that they have an intense relationship both physically and emotionally. What seemed like something that would last forever in high school now has gotten kind of blurred in college with a new school, new people, and new temptations. Joe was always a jock in high school and wants to pledge a fraternity. Amy was a bad girl who is now trying to turn herself around after a bad experience, but wants nothing to do with the fraternity/sorority scene. Joe needs space, and Amy needs to figure out why she has the hots for bad boy Trevor when she loves Joe. One lie sets off a series of events that test everything they thought they had, but also helps them to realize what they each really want.
The Next Forever is a short novella, but it there's a lot of emotion packed in its pages. The story is told from both Amy and Joe's point of view, which I really liked, because it enables you to really connect with both characters and get inside their heads. The whole novella takes place over the course of one night. Both find themselves in bad situations facing some really serious temptations. These temptations cause both of them to really look inside themselves and realize what they really what, who they really want, and if the choices they are making are for the right reasons. Joe and Amy are not perfect, and neither is their relationship, but sometimes it takes something bad to help you figure out what you have that is good and worth fighting for. If you enjoy contemporary romance then The Next Forever is a short, fast-paced, hot, and emotionally packed romance that you might want to check out.

I loved Pretty Amy, so when I saw that Lisa Burstein was writing a novella about Joe and Amy in college I was so excited!! Though you don't have to read Pretty Amy before this, I highly suggest it so you know the characters and what things they have gone through in the past. It really helps to understand why they are having the feelings they do in this. Even being a short novella, this packs quite a punch. Told in alternating POV"s between Joe and Amy, you get to know how each is feeling. What they expect out of each other, what they are afraid of, what types of doubts they are having. I loved how true their thoughts and emotions were. They really are trying to discover themselves better and wondering if there is room for the other.
Amy is still fragile and broken. She has been through a lot and now she is trying to see if trying to be a "good girl" and doing the whole college thing with Joe is what she really wants. She goes to a party with a random hot guy to test herself. To see if the bad girl she was wants to come out, but there's always Joe in the back of her head. How he makes her feel, how he's always been there. I could really feel how she felt while reading from her POV. She is so lost and confused and doesn't know what she wants. She still feels like she needs other people to make decisions for her, like she isn't strong enough to make them on her own. I was so irritated at her thinking she was being stupid and was going to throw everything away from making stupid decisions, but I also felt bad for her. I think we have all felt the way she is feeling.
Joe who is always the level headed one decides that he needs something different. He wants to join a Frat, but it's not because of the girls or the parties. It's for what it can do for his future. He knows Amy will be pissed so he lies to her. Then at the party he is expected to hang out with the half naked girls and get drunk, but in the back of his mind is always Amy. He chats up Emily at the party. She's pretty, she's flirty, and she's soaking wet and half naked. Joe is a really great guy, but he too has doubts in his mind. I think it was really great to get in his head more. I really liked getting to know him better.
What seems like an ordinary night at college of course is anything but. Both Joe and Amy are confused and are testing themselves more or less. They really do love each other, but at times you wonder if that love is enough. If they have been through too much and are too different. They are faced with a new place and new experiences and they need to decide whether they want to do it together or not. I thought this was beautiful and thoughtful. I loved going through this night with them and seeing things from both sides. Lisa Burstein is a master at making you love the characters she writes. They are no longer characters, but people who you feel like you really know. I am a big fan and can't wait to read Cassie's story, and Lila's and anything else she writes in between.

I enjoyed reading more about Amy and Joe, since I adored Lisa's Pretty Amy so much. This was a quick story to read, but at times lagged. For those who want to read a short story and loved Pretty Amy, this is a definite must read.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

XCP: Allow storage Xenmotion to be used for backups (if up, source stays up, but leave target down)
Currently, storage Xenmotion allows either a shut-down VM and its storage to be copied to a new location or live storage Xenmotion takes a running VM + storage and relocates it to a new server/pool/storage location and runs it there and stops the source. Why not also allow the source VM to continue running or the shut down VM to stay shut down and instead of migrating, allow a total copy operation and leave the target VM/storage shut down so as to create a perfect backup snapshot? For disaster recovery or keeping a perfect clone handy of a VM+storage, this would be ideal and involve very little code change to what already exists to accomplish.
7 comments
Absolutely. The "cheat" given by A. Cooper below is not a very friendly way to have to do this, plus a halted VM would need to be started up to get this mechanism to work.
Any reasonable combination should be possible, in particular, halted to running on the target, halted to halted on the target, and running to halted on the target.
robert commented
Today storage xenmotion is a Problem if the Operation Fails - we had some VM's which have problems after migration (NTFS Errors, NLA Errors...) - so it would be useful to have the source VM's still there if something failed to have a fall back - if everything goes right we can delete the source VM's!
Has this not been considered yet for a future enhancement? It seems to have garnered quite a bit of interest (and votes).
A. Cooper of Citrix reports on the Citrix forum this trick for getting a (soon to be) shut-down VM to storage Xenmotion: "If you start the migration at the same time as issuing `reboot` in the guest, it will shut down and stay shut down until the migration is complete. Migrating a shut down VM is safe, and does even work when migrating a VM between Intel and AMD cpus". This has to be done via the CLI and requires the "force" option. So, the framework is pretty much already provided for most of the means of creating an off-to-off move, though not with the source already off to begin with. We therefore have on-to-on (shutting down the initial instance when done) and on-to-off (kludged, with the initial instance off at the end), and are missing primarily the means to perform an on-to-off (leaving the source on and the target off), as well as a off-to-on (not requiring to first force the VM to run to pull it off and resulting in a running VM target) migration, as well as a pure off-to-off migration (the VM stays down at all times both on the source and target).
Have recently tried migrating a shut-down VM this way and it appears to not work at all, and apparently requires the VM to be running to initiate the request. Why on earth, why? There is a "--live" (migrate without shutting the VM down) option in the CLI, so why would one not want to be able to migrate a shut-down VM and either bring the copied version up live on the new destination or leave it down, as well, in preparation for bringing up at a desired time? All these seem like little flags that can trigger what state to leave the VM in for both source and target VMs. Please consider broadening the scope of this extremely useful and powerful feature to offer a little more flexibility.
Lars, your point about a migration failing is very well taken, especially with really large VDIs, this can sometimes take hours (and, yes, do sometimes fail). Also, if you want to leave your development VM on your QA server yet want to run it elsewhere without losing the original location, you really do not want to delete your original copy.
Lars commented
Absolutely agree. I've needed this feature many times. In the event of a live migration failing (this happens) being able to move a shut down guest to new storage/server/pool would be worth gold.

How to Become a Human Resource Manager: Education and Career Roadmap
Find out how to become a human resources manager. Research the education and training requirements and learn about the experience you need to advance your career in human resources.
Do I Want to Be a Human Resource Manager?
Human resource (HR) managers maintain employee records, ensure proper compensation and work safety, and manage overall employee hiring, evaluation and labor relations. They also develop, implement and oversee training programs or procedures. Travel might be required for meetings or recruiting.
Job Requirements
The minimum educational requirement for human resources managers is typically a bachelor's degree; several years of experience and a master's degree may also be required. The following table contains the basic requirements for human resources managers:
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|A bachelor's degree is required; a master's degree may be necessary for some high-level positions*
|Degree Field
|Human resources managers typically study human resources or business administration; other fields of study may be appropriate as long as they include some human resources coursework*
|Certification is not mandatory, but some employers prefer to hire certified individuals*
|Up to five years of experience may be required*
|Key Skills
|Strong interpersonal skills are essential; managerial, decision-making and organizational skills are also useful in this profession*
|Computer Skills
|Human resources managers may use payroll and time-tracking, spreadsheet and human resources management system software**
|Additional Requirements
|Some positions require travel to other office locations*
Sources: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, **O*Net OnLine
Step 1: Earn a Bachelor's Degree
Typically, bachelor's programs in human resources are available through a college or university's business school or management department. Common degrees include the Bachelor of Business Administration in Human Resources and the Bachelor of Science in Human Resources. Students learn about labor management, compensation, employment law and employee development. They also might take core classes in accounting, statistics and information technology.
Success Tip:
- Complete an internship. During a bachelor's degree program, students should consider finding an internship to gain real-world experience. An internship might be offered as part of an academic program and can enhance a student's learning experience by providing practical context for concepts learned in the classroom.
Step 2: Gain Work Experience
Graduates of human resource bachelor's programs generally are prepared for entry-level positions, such as HR assistant or HR specialist. Responsibilities and tasks of these jobs might include assisting in keeping records of employee benefits, compensation, safety and relations. Entry-level human resource workers also might assist in employee orientation, training and development.
Success Tip:
- Join a professional organization. Many human resources professionals choose to join organizations devoted to their occupations. One such organization is the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM). Membership benefits include educational opportunities, such as access to certification preparation materials, seminars and conferences, and community forums where HR professionals can interact and form networking connections.
Step 3: Consider Certification
While it's typically not necessary to obtain certification to work in the human resource field, some employers look for certified individuals. A number of certification designations exist, including Professional of Human Resources (PHR) and Certified Employment Benefits Specialist (CEBS). The PHR exam consists of testing in six areas, including employee and labor relations, risk management, and workforce planning and employment. Eligibility requirements also include up to four years of experience in the field or a combination of education and experience. The CEBS is an 8-course program that focuses on group benefits, compensation and retirement. Individuals can also opt for a CEBS specialty track, such as Group Benefits Associate, Retirement Plans Associate or Compensation Management Specialist.
Step 4: Apply for a Manager Position
Most manager positions require some experience in the field; commonly, up to five years of work experience as an HR generalist or assistant is necessary. Prospective human resource managers must have excellent leadership, communication and interpersonal relations skills. They should have a firm grasp of employee and labor laws. Because human resource managers are at the core of hiring employees, they should be able to work within a stated business plan to develop staff for the needs of the business.

After Bigg Boss 7, VJ Andy seems to have become a favourite with the channel that aired the reality show. As soon as BB7 got over, Andy was seen hosting India's Got Talent with Bharati Singh. And now the veejay is all set to showcase his dancing skills in the dance show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
A source says that Andy has been signed on for the upcoming season of the show. A theatre actor he has also been a choreographer for almost 15 years. Western dance is his forte. Karan Tacker, who is currently hosting Halla Bol, was approached to be a wild card contestant in the last season, but he did not take it up.
This time, sources say, he will be a part of the show. Karan, who shot to fame with Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai, has never done a reality show. A source close to him says that he is not a good dancer but would love to learn dancing on the show and have fun.

College Football Videos
Pitt has placed a premium on oversized offensive linemen in its 2010 recruiting class, and the Panthers have added their biggest prospect in 6-foot-6, 350-pound right guard Arthur Doakes of Lebanon High School.
Doakes picked the Panthers over scholarship offers from Middle Tennessee State, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple and Troy.
He's Pitt's 15th recruit from the Class of 2010 and its second on the offensive line, joining 6-6, 310-pound four-star right tackle Matt Rotheram of North Olmsted, Ohio.
"I really loved it there," said Doakes, who was recruited by tight ends coach Brian Angelichio. "I have a really good feeling about Pitt. They were the first to offer me. They make you feel like family."
Doakes can bench press 405 pounds and squats 550. But he didn't play organized football until eighth grade and has only one season as a starter at Lebanon.
Even so, the Panthers identified him as a prospect early and invited Doakes to their Blue Chip Day for a men's basketball game against Cincinnati and to coach Dave Wannstedt's individual skills camp in June.
"A lot of other schools wanted to wait for my senior film," said Doakes, who also was receiving interest from Connecticut, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Virginia and West Virginia, "but I'm glad Pitt saw (potential) in me."
Despite his size, Doakes projects as an offensive guard because of his ability to protect the passer. He started at right guard and nose tackle for Lebanon as a junior and blocked for Big 33 Football Classic quarterback James Capello, an Iowa State recruit who passed for nearly 3,000 yards last fall.
"(Doakes) moves extremely well," said Lebanon defensive coordinator Frank Isenberg, a West Mifflin graduate who played offensive line at Kent State. "We are primarily a pass-oriented team — we run a no-huddle 'air raid' and throw the ball almost every down — and he's an excellent pass protector. He's really light on his feet. He runs very well. We do a lot of screens, and what we like to do with Arthur is get him out in front. He creates a lot of lanes for guys to run through."

Trader Joe's has a really good BBQ Chicken Salad that I was obsessed with UNTIL I read the back of the container and saw how many grams of fat were in it. GAH-REAT. And that was for HALF the salad. There was a good week where I had that salad almost every single day at work. I couldn't stop myself.
I've been wanting to make my own/healthier version of this salad for some time now and here it is! Instead of the heavy mayo based Ranch dressing, I used creamy Greek yogurt and mixed it with fresh lime juice and Sweet & Spicy Tabasco Sauce. It adds a tangy sweet kick to the salad. If you have trouble finding that particular flavor, you could always add in a little bit of honey and regular Tabasco to mimic the flavor. I also took away the shredded cheese because there's so many flavors going on there that it's seemed unnecessary! I did add some avocado in it's place though...oh and lots of cilantro!
It's the perfect weeknight salad! And if you're thinking of packing it up for work throughout the week, just make a bigger batch of dressing and take it with you. Dress as you need it! Also, be sure to add the tortilla strips (or chips!) at the last minute. No one likes a soggy bite of tortilla in their salad. NO ONE.

Phoenix Suns
Updated Dec 27, 2012 - 9:21 am
Suns' Dragic leaves game vs. Knicks with injury
Goran Dragic was injured with 22.1 seconds left in the second quarter of the Phoenix Suns game against the New York Knicks Wednesday on a dangerous play.
Dragic was attempting a transition lay-up when J.R. Smith undercut him on a breakaway causing him to take a bad fall. Smith was charged with a flagrant foul one but was allowed to stay in the game. He could still face further discipline from the league.
The Suns' point guard did not return in the second half after suffering hip, wrist and back contusions.
Dragic finished the game with just four points and three assists on 2-6 shooting. He turned the ball over one time.
For the season, the point guard is averaging 14.1 points and 6.2 assists for the Suns this season.

Looking for a distinctive dinner? Then check out this grilled pork and pineapple salad flavored with a tangy mayonnaise mixture.
©2014 General Mills, Inc. All Rights Reserved. This information will only be used to send an email to your friend(s) and will not be saved. Please read our Privacy Policy.
To broil pork, place on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning once.
Cook pork to an internal temperature of 150 to 165°F. This temperature ensures that even lean pork is tender and juicy.
Two 3/4-pound pork tenderloins are often packaged together. Freeze the extra tenderloin for later use, or marinate it in a mixture of oil, lemon juice and garlic. Grill the extra pork alongside the pork for this salad. Refrigerate the extra grilled pork to use for sandwiches or to reheat and serve at another meal.
For a stronger smoky-grill flavor, use pineapple rings in place of the tidbits. Add the pineapple rings to the grill for the last 10 minutes of the pork cooking time. Cut the grilled pineapple into small pieces and toss it with the salad.

Lincoln, Douglas, and Their Historic Debates
The Lincoln-Douglas debates were a series of seven joint discussions between Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, and Stephen A. Douglas, a Democrat, held during the summer and fall of 1858 in Illinois. Lincoln and Douglas had been debating each other for more than twenty years before their famous contest for the US Senate in 1858. They were longtime rivals with contrasting styles and sharp differences in philosophy. But from the beginning almost everyone realized the 1858 debates would be historic.

John Brown: The Abolitionist and His Legacy
On October 16, 1859, John Brown and a band of followers, black and white, attacked the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. The raid was part of a larger plan to destroy the slave system by freeing and arming slaves. The raiders were captured and John Brown was executed on December 2, 1859. The unique documents discussed here examine John Brown's beliefs and actions in the context of growing national divisions over slavery in the 1850s.

I'm the editor of a journal published by a professional society. The contractor who organizes our annual conference hires a photographer; I supervise him and collect the product of his work for the magazine. Because of the wierd contracting arrangement, I can't tell you what the photographer is paid (but I'm sure it's the going rate for the city where the conference is being held.)Originally Posted by jvarsoke
But I can tell you that the photographer delivers all of the work he produces. If he does any editing at all, it's in-camera on the fly. At the end of each day of the conference, I collect a CD from him containing the images from that day. And on a good day, may 5% are useful, the rest are trashed.

What travellers think
Travellers that stayed here think this hostel is best for
Unfortunately, this was my worst experience in a international hostel. First of all, only 1 person of their numerous staff spoke decent English, and in my six-day stay I only saw this person twice because of their rotation system. Signs and important information is only in German. Lack of control of loud groups of high schoolers. I had to complain every night because they were making noise (slamming doors and screaming) after midnight. No free Internet. There is no access everywhere.

This hostel is so cool! In a fantastic location (although a little out of the city, which is annoying - but super close to the forest!) and it's great that they provide lockers for free.

Bon accueil, ambiance sympathique, formule agréable, mais c'était mon TOUT PREMIER SEJOUR dans une auberge de ce type ! Petit déj en quantité et sous forme de buffet . Bilan : Très bon ! Même s'il serait à mon avis nécessaire d'ajouter un rideau à la douche (éclaboussures et "inondations" ).

Nice to have a car to move around. Ample parking space at the hostel . Very good spread for breakfast. If visiting the town centre it is more convenient to use public transport. Worthwhile to walk around the town. Take trips out to visit Titisee, Triberg , , Gengenbach and Strasbourg if you have a car.

It is the most horrible hostel I have ever stayed in. People in charge of the reception don't know their job at all. I knew I was arriving after closing hour so I sent four e-mails telling them about this situation and they never ever answered them. Getting notice of this ineptitude a friend of mine that speaks German called them to inform about my delay. When I arrived the guy at the desk didn't know at all about the call, however he grumped that I was late. Also, he tried to charge me more than expected because he didn't find me in their booking list. Very bad service. They take for granted people will book with them because it is a HI hostel.

WASHINGTON - A catchall government spending bill being debated by the Senate makes four long-standing gun protections permanent, including one preventing the Justice Department from requiring firearms dealers to conduct inventories to make sure weapons haven't been stolen.
Congressional aides from both parties say there are six pro-gun provisions that Congress has enacted annually in its spending bills since at least 2004.
They say that for this year's bill the Republican-led House wanted to make them all permanent. The aides say only four were made permanent, in exchange for the House dropping a seventh provision barring the government from requiring gun dealers to report some sales of two or more firearms popular with Mexican drug cartels.
The aides spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss lawmakers' deliberations.
