A report in the New York Times last week brought on a wave of emotion in me regarding the 3 years I worked at Savvica and travelled extensively to Gurgaon. I miss it!
In India, Dynamism Wrestles With Dysfunction
GURGAON, India — In this city that barely existed two decades ago, there are 26 shopping malls, seven golf courses and luxury shops selling Chanel and Louis Vuitton. Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs shimmer in automobile showrooms. Apartment towers are sprouting like concrete weeds, and a futuristic commercial hub called Cyber City houses many of the world's most respected corporations.
To compensate for electricity blackouts, Gurgaon's companies and real estate developers operate massive diesel generators capable of powering small towns. No water? Drill private borewells. No public transportation? Companies employ hundreds of private buses and taxis. Worried about crime? Gurgaon has almost four times as many private security guards as police officers.
This is one of the things I miss, as strange as it may sound. Indians have a word for this kind of creative (hasty?) problem solving:
jugaad—n. an improvised or jury-rigged solution; inventiveness, ingenuity, cleverness. Origin: Hindi, India
I've seen this admirable approach in many of my former colleagues and particularly in the Indian entrepreneurs I've met and worked with. These people remarkably know how to get things done in difficult environments.
If you are into India & fiction, I highly recommend the novel The White Tiger, by Aravind Adiga, which takes place partly in modern Gurgaon.
I miss you India, see you again one day!

Standards for Academic Progress
Federal regulations require that Kent State University review the academic progress of students who apply for federal financial aid - whether they are a previous aid recipient or not. The purpose of this review process is to measure whether a student is making satisfactory progress toward his or her educational goals. Changes to the federal regulations, effective with the 2011-2012 academic year, required Kent State to change how Satisfactory Academic Progress will be monitored.
Below is an outline of the new Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy, effective when academic records are reviewed by the Financial Aid Office at the end of the Spring 2011 semester.
Old Policy
New Policy Effective Summer 2011
GPA: Undergraduate students
Undergraduate students must maintain a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA
Undergraduate student with
0 - 29 overall earned hours: Minimum 1.00 cumulative GPA
30-59 overall earned hours: Minimum 1.50 cumulative GPA
60 + overall earned hours: Minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA
Overall earned hours include overall institution earned hours plus overall transfer earned hours.
Percentage Completion (pace): Undergraduate students
Undergraduate students must complete (with a passing grade) at least 67% of all hours attempted during the previous academic year
Percentage completion will be evaluated based on the student's KSU transcript. Percentage completion will be calculated by dividing overall institution earned hours by overall institution attempted hours.
Undergraduate student with
0 - 29 overall earned hours: 50% overall completion rate
30-59 overall earned hours: 60% overall completion rate
60 + overall earned hours: 67% overall completion rate
Percentage Completion (pace): Graduate students
Graduate students must complete (with a passing grade) at least 65% of all hours attempted during the previous academic year
Percentage completion will be evaluated based on the student's KSU graduate transcript. Percentage completion will be calculated by dividing overall institution earned hours by overall institution attempted hours.
65% overall completion rate is required
Maximum Time Frame: Undergraduate students
Undergraduate students pursuing an associate degree can attempt up to 79 hours.
Undergraduate students pursuing a bachelor's degree can attempt up to 174 credit hours
Undergraduate students pursuing an associate degree can attempt up to 98 hours.
Undergraduate students pursuing a bachelor's degree can attempt up to 188 credit hours
Satisfactory Academic Progress will continue to be evaluated at the end of the spring semester or when the FAFSA is received. Students determined to be in violation of the SAP Policy may already have received an award offer that includes federal aid for the upcoming year. Once in violation, the student is no longer eligible for this aid, and it will not transfer to the student's Bursar account.
The following programs are affected when a student is not in compliance with the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy:
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
- Federal TEACH Grant
- Federal Work Study
- Federal Perkins Loan
- Nursing Student Loan
- Federal Direct Loans (subsidized and unsubsidized)
- Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan
- Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan
- Alternative Student Loans (various lenders)
Appeal Process:
Students in violation of the SAP Policy are welcome to submit an appeal to the Student Financial Aid Office or their Regional campus financial aid representative. Effective with the 2011-2012 academic year, students who receive an approval decision can be approved for only one semester. At the end of that semester, the student must either be in compliance with the SAP policies or meet these standards during the approved semester:
Students in violation of the GPA and/or Percentage Completion standards:
- Complete the semester with a minimum 2.00 semester GPA
- Complete (with a passing grade) a minimum of 67% of all courses attempted during that semester
Students in violation of the Maximum Time Frame standard:
- Register only for those courses identified by an academic advisor that are required for graduation
- Complete all attempted courses during that semester a minimum 2.00 GPA
Students who fail to meet these standards will not be permitted to receive federal financial aid for future semesters until they are in compliance with all the SAP standards. Neither paying for classes out-of-pocket nor sitting out for an enrollment period is sufficient for students to re-establish eligibility for federal aid.
To review the complete Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy, please visit www.kent.edu/financialaid/forms. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact the Kent State Trumbull Financial Aid Office at 330-675-8860 or email@example.com.
A student must be officially admitted and enrolled in an eligible degree program to receive federal aid funds. A regular student is officially accepted for enrollment for the purpose of obtaining a degree or approved certificate. If the student is merely allowed to take some courses before being officially admitted to a program (for example, a guest student), the student is not considered to be a regular student and will not be eligible to receive federal financial aid until he or she is officially admitted to a degree or approved certificate program. Guest students will not be awarded federal financial aid. If a student is cited for academic progress due to his or her status as an undergraduate nondegree student, or a student with an undeclared major, the student must contact the college or school office to declare a major. A copy of the change of major form must be submitted to the Student Financial Aid Office.
Federal financial aid available to post-undergraduate and graduate nondegree students is limited to Federal Direct Student Loan programs (subsidized and unsubsidized) at the undergraduate loan levels. Aggregate loan limits include loans previously borrowed as an undergraduate. To be eligible for a loan, the student must be enrolled in required coursework at least half time (minimum 6 credit hours per semester) and meet one of the following criteria:
- Enrolled in a second bachelor's degree program for which the student will receive a second bachelor's degree upon completion of all academic requirements. Students seeking a different major within the same degree will not be eligible.
- The student has earned a bachelor's degree and is enrolled in an associate degree program for which the student will receive an associate degree upon completion of all academic requirements.
- Enrolled in courses required for admission to a graduate or professional degree program (there is a one-year limit of federal financial aid eligibility for required prerequisites). If the student is simply taking courses to raise his or her GPA in order to be admitted to graduate school or a professional degree program, the student is not eligible to receive Federal Direct Student Loans.
- Enrolled at least half time in an elementary or secondary teacher certification/licensure or re-certification/licensure program.
- Enrolled in an approved certificate program.
Post undergraduates and graduate nondegree students must submit a completed Program of Study form. This form can be obtained from the Kent State Trumbull Financial Aid Office or www.kent.edu/financialaid/forms. This form must be signed by an academic advisor verifying required coursework. Each semester you attend during the award year must be listed on the form.

New For 2014A plug-in hybrid called the 2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid joins the lineup, replacing the conventional hybrid Porsche introduced just two years ago. The 2014 Porsche Panamera S also becomes more efficient, as a supercharged V-6 replaces the old 4.8-liter V-8. A long-wheelbase body style is now offered for 4S and Turbo models. All Panameras benefit from a mild face-lift.
Vehicle SummaryThe 2014 Porsche Panamera is a very sporty full-size luxury car. It offers nearly all the prestige and comfort of a full-size German luxury sedan and nearly all the performance of a German sports car. To top it all off, it's a rather practical hatchback, as well, with rear seats that fold down to provide extra cargo room. The Panamera is offered with an astonishing variety of powertrains, ranging from a V-6 to a plug-in hybrid to a turbocharged V-8. Although the four-door encountered some hostility when it debuted in 2010, mainly from enthusiasts who bemoaned Porsche's expansion beyond sports cars, it has gone on to become one of the brand's most popular models.
OverviewThere are lots of four-door vehicles that claim to be sports cars. The 2014 Porsche Panamera actually means it. Sure, it may look a little frumpy with its bloated, hatchback profile. And you'd be forgiven for preferring to relax in the back seat of its luxurious cabin, which smells like the inside of a Coach purse. But get behind the steering wheel of a Panamera, particularly one of the high-performance variants, and you'll find the reflexes, poise, and power of a world-class sports car.
The Panamera, like most Porsches, comes in a dizzying array of trims. The newest addition to the lineup is the Panamera S E-Hybrid, which replaces the Panamera S Hybrid. The key improvement is that the E-Hybrid can travel up to twenty miles on battery power alone. The rest of the time, the 95-hp motor and lithium-ion batteries support the 3.0-liter supercharged V-6. Porsche says it can accelerate to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. The automaker has not yet publicized fuel-economy estimates, but the 2013 S Hybrid was EPA rated at 22/30 mpg city/highway.
A supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 is now also offered on the regular Panamera S. The six is both more powerful and more efficient than the 4.8-liter V-8 it replaces. Alas, it doesn't sound nearly as sweet. That's a small price for Porsche, which needs to lower its Corporate Average Fuel Economy in the United States, and for customers in China, who avoid engine-displacement taxes. The influence of the growing Chinese market can also be seen in the addition of a long-wheelbase, "executive" variant (affluent Chinese owners often have chauffeurs). This is a big car -- just three inches shorter than a long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz S-class -- but it still seats only four.
For those who will abide none of this environmentally friendly hullaballoo, Porsche still offers several satisfying V-8 models. The newest, the all-wheel-drive GTS, has 440 hp and a chassis agile enough to embarrass many two-door sports cars on track day. Above that sits the Panamera Turbo, which puts out 520 hp and accelerates to 60 mph in less than four seconds, according to Porsche.
The 2014 Porsche Panamera doesn't quite do it all. Beyond the stodgy styling, which a recent face-lift has failed to fix, the Panamera is something of a distant, cold machine with somewhat numb steering -- it's a four-door sports car but not necessarily a four-door Cayman. At the same time, the 2014 Porsche Panamera's firm suspension and slender sport seats prevent it from cosseting occupants in quite the same fashion as a similarly priced full-size luxury sedan. And yet few vehicles at any price can match the Panamera's all-around excellence.

How has India affected me? That is a question I have been asking myself for the past couple days. Almost as important as the journey itself is the time taken for reflection at the end. So in taking time for reflection I realized a few things about my worldview which I will discuss that India has shaped. I would say one of the biggest things that India helped me to do while developing my worldview is become more empathetic. I think I could have study India and Indian culture for years but until I actually chose to visit India I would probably never have been able to truly empathize with the people of India, being there around a vast diversity of people helped me see what they experience in a new light. I think that another thing that India did was create some cultural curiosity in me. Being there, in India, caused me to want to find out and understand more about there culture. I found since I have been back that I have actually looked up some information about India and pulled out an atlas to find out more about it. Two weeks is certainly not enough time to learn very much about a culture but it is enough time to create interest in that culture that will last beyond the two weeks. I also know that my worldview has been shifted along with some of my paradigms on business and culture in India. Now whenever I see India I have a personal sentiment towards it and a certain level of understanding of what actually happens there. When I read about something on yahoo that happened in Delhi I will have a mental picture of where it is and what it looks like. Being in India changed my view of India, maybe even created a view that did not even exist in the first place. Reading my first blog the opening was "What do I know about India? Actually almost nothing." I think the fact that that has changed shows a level of success with the program. I know that looking back on what I have learned has really changed India from that country on the other side of the world to that place I visited. This change has helped me relate better to the people of India and understand their culture which has caused me to have an expanded worldview. Looking at just these three aspects has amazed me. India did and will play a role in the direction of my life over the next few years. It was an awesome cultural experience and I am glad that I chose India as my international experience through Carlson. Thank you all!
So it's my last day in India, what can I possibly say about the experience I have had in the past two weeks. Crazy, hot, lots of sitting, each of these were a part of what we went through in India. I was surprised by some things, especially land prices, I just can't believe how high they are here. I am very thankful they are much lower in the US! One of the other things that surprises me is amazing amount of diversity in India. There are so many different cultures all meshed in to one huge populated country. It is so interesting how many languages that people speak, I'm sure some of the languages are similar but still, speaking 5 or 6 languages sounds like so much work. One of the unique things that I found was how many contradictions there are. I would see three different presentations and there would be three different population and GDP figures in each of them. I think that the huge amount of diversity is probably what ends up leading to that. Overall, I think the trip was a great success. I would go again, I think that in 5 years I will be really glad that I truly chose a cultural experience like India instead of something that might be more "fun" like Australia. India was definitely an eye opening experience!
Well, we're finally back in the states. While reflecting on our two weeks in India, it really is impossible to touch on all of the experiences I had and the information that I have learned about Indian culture, but I will try my best to highlight my favorite parts. First off was the ridiculous driving that occurred every day. I am absolutely amazed how traffic in India can run the way it is without having about 20 accidents a day. I felt that our driving experiences encompassed the phrase best describing India in general, an "organized mess". Next would have to be the extreme heat we encountered in Delhi. I know we heard over and over how hot it was going to be, but I never dreamed it would actually get up to those temperatures. I never knew that it could actually get hotter when the wind blew, let alone 10 degrees hotter with just the slightest breeze. Finally, the companies we were able to visit really piqued my interest throughout the trip. From Target's mirror image campus to Infosys' resort of a campus, it was truly amazing to see the places that these companies have built over in India. The business culture was also much different than the US, but the Indian people have made it their own and clearly have been successful. Last but not least, never forget the Bak Bak Bar. Thank you everyone for all of the memories, it's been a wonderful trip!
When I first heard of the term ERP, or Enterprise Resource System, all I really understood about it was how ERP systems are extremely expensive to implement and only the largest of companies utilize their products. Throughout all of IDSC 3001, I never really understood what an ERP company really did. I haven't taken the ERP course yet either, so I haven't seen an ERP system in use either. Our visit to SAP really cleared up exactly what the big players in the ERP market really do and what each company's strengths are in the field. I felt that while our trip to SAP probably was the shortest in time, it had the most information on what the company really does and what SAP is doing to continually grow its company. The presenter did a wonderful job explaining how SAP is stronger in its applications provided to its customers, whereas Oracle, SAP's main competitor, is very strong in database structures, and not so much in applications. I really enjoyed learning about the movements towards cloud-based information storage and consulting that SAP has done in recent years. Out of all the companies we visited, I would pick SAP as the one I would like to work for the most in my future.
Before we went to India, my only knowledge of India food was of the delicious curry that I had gotten from Spice (great restaurant by the way if anyone is in Burnsville or Lakeville!). I knew it was going to be a vital part on how my experience in India went, so I hoped for the best that my body would be able to cope with the heat that most Indian food came with. In short, it didn't. The food for the first week was bearable, but after a week of the same foods my stomach was practically begging for some sort of greasy, fried food. The normal foods that I ate at most meals were oddly spiced chicken, which I usually found multiple bones in, and lots of rice and random sauces that I did not know the ingredients of. The fact that we had buffets for most of the meals had its pros and cons. I felt that all of the food was similar in the end so it was tough to try new things, but if I did find something that I liked. The one food that I consistently felt comfortable eating was the naan, because screwing up bread is pretty hard to do. One thing that I found really interesting was how much effort that goes in to making the food. The fact that it took us about 4 hours to complete our meal with 14 of us helping out the chef made me really respect the amount of time most Indians put into their food. In our cooking class, it was amazing to see how much experience it must take to have all of the ingredients and spices put in at the right amounts, especially when cooking for such large groups. Overall, I am glad I experienced the Indian cuisine, but nothing can beat a juicy, American burger in the end.
Study abroad in
It had been such a long time that I had an active social activity outside of a family boundary. Although I go to school, my main activity is within the family boundary. So, I was worried how to interact with other students I go to
While I had a lot of fun, I also experienced both side of
I don't think that I can be happy if I had to live even without a pair of shoes, but the speaker's comment made me think about greed. I realized that many of my satisfactions come from how much I have more than others. I have a healthy and happy family, house, car, and most of all; I have an ability to do what I want to do. After seeing happy people in
Overall, going to
Between the cold weather and a much slower schedule now that I am back in Minnesota, I almost feel like our trip to India never happened. It is so much quieter, not just because of a lack of traffic and constant movement, but because I don't have 13 other people around me constantly. The latter part is something I actually miss a lot; we really had such a great group that made the experiences in India - both the highs (Taj Mahal, Target Presentations, site visits) and not so great parts (heat, long bus rides, giant rats, funky smells) - all the more exciting.
It is hard to believe that just a week ago we were literally on the other side of the world. I feel like we were finally settling in as we already had to board the plane to go back to the States. That being said, we really packed a lot in to the two weeks and made the most of our visit. I really feel like I saw some of the growth and development in India (especially in Bangalore) that I read about in India Becoming and was able to taste a hint of it from the insides of different international firms that we visited. Our experience at Christ University also helped to paint a fuller picture through guest lectures and cultural events prepared by the students. Specifically, it was really great to connect with our student guides, Taher and Aishwarya. They contributed so much feeling to our trip, making it feel less like a tour of India to more of an interactive visit with friends. Overall, I felt that Christ University was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and I loved the time that we spent there.
Leaving India, I think I bring back a bit of a new perspective on travelling and an excitement about learning more about the country. At times my comfort level was challenged whether it be because of lack of hygiene, pollution or food issues, but I really learned the importance of positivity and gratitude for what I have and the opportunity to travel. Keeping these values and good-humored travelling companions in tow, I feel like I can adjust and make due nearly anywhere. Obviously we weren't roughing it by any means, but our India trip has me geared up to come back again and to explore new parts of the country (maybe not in such nice conditions) in the not-so-distant future. Lastly, our trip has gotten me excited for my program in Copenhagen and has me looking forward to where my studies in Diversity and Change Management may take me. In India, it was very apparent that intercultural understanding and communication is central to the success of any international business. These experiences reaffirmed my interest and drive towards connecting culture with business in my career, and I look forward to see where this path will lead.

A delay of the PS4 / Xbox(Next) would be very interesting.
I would give Wii U much more time in the market that can offer the same level or slightly better then the current PS3/Xbox360

A delay of the PS4 / Xbox(Next) would be very interesting.
I would give Wii U much more time in the market that can offer the same level or slightly better then the current PS3/Xbox360, but on the flipside should help increase quality / development of launch titles of the next gen PS4/Xbox(Next).
Posted 31 December 2012 - 18:58
The Wii U is simply a more expensive version of the X360 and PS3 without the software support. It's not an 'upgrade' for existing console owners, which makes it a tough sell. The only real market that Nintendo has is younger children / families. Obviously a processor delay for the upcoming consoles wouldn't hurt Nintendo, though it's not exactly a huge benefit either. Microsoft and Sony will almost certainly be in hype mode by next Christmas, meaning that the Wii U will struggle to get noticed.

People are still stupidly spreading this "its games aren't all rated 'M for mature' so that means it's only for kids" garbage?

Why do you even have to ask this question? You know the answer.
Super Mario Bros. in the day was a solid title enjoyable by any gamer. What makes New Super Mario Bros U "kiddy?" Is Super Mario Bros for the NES "kiddy" as well because there's no blood, gore, or sex?
Posted 01 January 2013 - 15:26
Well the Wii U can already Offer far better quality then the 360 and PS3 it is just the developers who need to make it so as the current games most of them are just straight forward ports with some Wii U stuff tacked on . the Wii U has a really far more beefed up much newer GPU then either 360 or Ps3 and once developers really home in on CPU optimizations and GPGPu utilization some really great looking games will come out of the system as it is tho the system itself is more powerful just for the fact the current port games look the same as the otehr systems yet render on 2 separate screens in real time
New Super Mario Bros U
Nintendo Land
Pikmin 3
The Legend Of Zelda
Posted 01 January 2013 - 15:29
In reference to the "mature vs kiddy" debate, I enjoy LEGO games more than most bullcrap pushed out by companies. I would take playing LEGO Lord of the Rings with my brother in the same room, or Nintendo Land with my family, over Black Ops 2 any day. I wonder why? Oh wait, that's because the former games are engaging without stupid gimmicks or unnecessary "maturity."

Cats love it, but arrives half crushed
By mrsgreenjeens
from arizona
I wanted to give my kidney cat green lipped mussel oil, and she is so picky she can detect anything added to her food, so when I found this product with it already in it, I decided to give it a try. She loves it, and so do my other cats. Problem is, they only like it as treats, not reconstituted. But that's ok, since it has nothing bad in it and they eat raw for their meals anyway. My only complaint is that I waste an awful lot of this because of the three bags I have rec'd so far, at least one third to one half of each bag is all crumbs, which are wasted since they like the little logs as treats which I can toss to them and have them chase around the room. I sometimes use the crumbs as toppers when they are being finicky, but that's a HUGE amount of toppers! I've tried reconstituting the crumbs and none of my three will eat this as a meal. It's the strangest thing. But since they love it as treats, and I give my kidney cat treats constantly to try to keep the weight on, I'm still very satisfied. With other similar products, they get picky and I have to keep changing it up. Not with this one.
Merchant response: No email was provided, but if you are the author and see this, please contact us so we can check if the issue is our packing error or if the product comes from the distributor this way. We can put packing notes in your account if helpful.

Too expensive for so little
By DesmondsMommy90
from SC
My kitty loved it. He took to it right away but it says its supposed to reconstitute and give you more than the actual weight but it doesn't. My cat went through a whole bag in just a few days and seemed to be hungry even after feeding twice a day. Its good but should cost at least half of what it does.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
My cat loves this!
By msmegnicole
from Texas
My cat was curious about this raw food at first, but not long after(the next day), she dove in and gobbled up the food! She eagerly awaits this at food time, and literally every time, she gobbles it up. The smell is very appetizing for her! It only contains a few ingredients, and it contains Dr. Jean Hofve's favorite source of Omega 3's- green lipped mussel, so it's already a step above a few other sources of raw. I like that it's convenient and doesn't have to be frozen. You just scoop out the food and mix with room temp-warmish water. If they are used to pate style food, you can just mash it up and it's even better! It's great for people wanting to step into the raw food slowly. Give it a try, and highly recommended for those picky cats that may not want to try other things!
My cat keeps trying to bury this
By Wally
from New York, NY
I have 2 cats and tried this with both of them for close to a month. I've tried soaking the pellets in warm water, using the pellets as treats and mixing it with other food. Neither cats like this food and will only nibble at it if I withhold all other food so that they have no choice. That's not the kind of relationship I want them to have with food.
Merchant response: Try using the rest as a topper to a new food so it does not have to be wasted.

Hmm, lets see, which is the more precise control mechanism again? Which one requires a larger hit target? Is calling the SS a full screen menu (NSS) anything but painfully obvious? Funny, seems pretty clear that RT is the glove that makes Desktop users feel analog.
You edited my quote so as to take away relevant context...
Equating the start screen to a full screen menu was meant to be both sarcastic and ironic, in response to your understanding of a metaphor. (I shouldn't have to explain that)

The fanboys are on the AMD side, they've taken a habit of getting ****y about it when people advocate the use of Intel processors for some reason. I used to be in the same corner myself, back in the days when Pentium 4s were crap and Athlon 64s were not I argued the other way around. Reality is what it is and if people choose to get angry about it, that's their problem.

Posted 13 April 2013 - 19:32
DDR4 supported CPUs for the public won't be around until the end of 2014 or maybe 2015. Since they cost way to much for anyone to use.
Just when people count out AMD, they seem to come back with something good.
Posted 13 April 2013 - 19:41
I think what they've managed to get done with the comparatively little amount they have is very commendable. I blame all the rest of the world (of software architects) that most office and consumer space programs won't take advantage of (any kind - Intel, AMD, ARM-OEMs) multi-core setups easily, nor do they show any particular inclination of doing so any time soon. Blaming developers won't solve anything, though, so... mustshifttheblametoamdyesyesyes

Villa Park
Barclays Premier League
(Attendance: 40,053)
By Paul Brown
Alex McLeish has hailed Jermaine Jenas on the eve of the Manchester United clash, insisting: "We love quality at Aston Villa and JJ has it in bundles."
McLeish has been impressed with the cameo displays of Jenas in the Norwich and Swansea matches.
And, as he finalises his thoughts ahead of the Red Devils encounter, McLeish has offered a ringing endorsement of the talents of Jenas.
McLeish has a wealth of options at his disposal in the central ground, with Barry Bannan, Fabian Delph, Stan Petrov, Steven Ireland and Chris Herd all challenging for places.
And the boss insists it's up to these players to turn it on in training and matches - and give him no choice when it comes to selection.
He said: "It was good to see Jermaine come back into the team against Swansea after being unable to play at Tottenham.
"He has a composure and calmness. He will be short of match fitness having not played for a long time.
"But we crave quality, we love quality. This guy has it in bundles.
"He's available for selection so we will definitely consider him. He's had a good week.
"He came on last week and enjoyed his contribution. He has trained well this week aswell. He's raring to go. If I pick him he's telling me he's ready.
"Competition is strong for places. I am looking for players to make the difference.
"They have to give me the top performance possible and then I can say to other players that are banging on my door 'Hang on, he's doing great.' It's as simple as that.
"The only thing I worried about in my own career was losing my place. That drove me to keep my position.
"There's a nucleus here now. Any guy who takes up the gauntlet and is able to turn around and go 'leave me out after that performance', that's what I am looking for."
The EA SPORTS special FIFA 12 gaming hub will be at Villa Park on Saturday. The giant game arena named 'The Dugout' will be located at Trinity Road so fans can test out the new game. 'The Dugout' is an award-winning, state-of-the-art exhibition trailer from EA SPORTS - our official football action game partner - that allows visitors to trial the latest video games on High-Definition (HD) technology.

Face SPF 30 Cucumber Matte Finish
This sunscreen has a matte finish and cucumber scent thanks to Cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract.
Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer with Retinol
Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer contains a unique complex of ingredients (including retinol) proven to remodel your skin.
Add to Faves?
In order to make the Best Products list, a moisturizer must NOT be packaged in a jar and have a state-of-the-art formula that:
Regardless of your skin type (more on that below) or texture preference, all of the moisturizers on the Best Products list meet the formulary requirements mentioned above.
What remains offensive, however, is that most of the moisturizer formulations don't warrant their outlandish claims, ridiculous prices, or your belief that you've finally found the fountain of youth. No moisturizer, regardless of claims will "eliminate wrinkle," "lift sagging skin," "restore youthful contours," or "make you look years younger."
What each will do, to some degree, is restore a healthy barrier (essential for allowing skin to repair itself and generate new collagen), reduce inflammation, help prevent (not completely eliminate) free-radical damage, restore vital elements needed to maintain healthy skin, and create a feeling of smoothness and softness that most will find aesthetically pleasing. A great moisturizer can do a lot to fight multiple signs of aging, but it cannot replace cosmetic corrective procedures or the need for daily sun protection, exfoliation, and other critical aspects of skin care.
Moisturizers for oily skin are difficult to evaluate. As a rule, if oily skin is not being irritated or assaulted with harsh skin-care products, it does not need a moisturizer. Lotions and creams in general can be problematic for oily skin; even gels and serum-type moisturizers can feel heavy on oily skin though without question these lightweight textures are preferred for oily skin.
Those with oily skin should stick with ultra-light serums, gel-textured moisturizers, or toners, which should supply all the hydration and important ingredients oily skin needs. Keep in mind that when a lotion or cream-textured moisturizer is labeled as being for someone with oily or combination skin, it is meant to be used only over dry areas, not over oily areas.
Packaging is a big deal for state-of-the-art moisturizers, and we're not talking about visual appeal (though this entices many a consumer and fashion magazine editor). Rather, we're referring to the need for opaque, non-jar packaging that demonstrates the manufacturer has made efforts to ensure the continuing potency of the key ingredients, particularly antioxidants and plant extracts, after you start using the product.
Almost without exception, antioxidants are prone to degradation when repeatedly exposed to light and air (the manner in which they work to protect our skin bears this out). It is thus very disappointing to report that hundreds of the moisturizers reviewed on this site did not make the Best Products list and were not rated a "Best" solely because of clear or jar packaging.
The other issue with using a moisturizer packaged in a jar is that you're repeatedly dipping your fingers into it, which isn't most hygienic way to take care of your skin, not to mention the bacteria transferred with each use further degrades important ingredients.
Lastly, keep in mind that the only difference between daytime and nighttime moisturizers is that the daytime version should contain a sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater (and include one or more of these UVA-protecting active ingredients: avobenzone, titanum dioxide, zinc oxide, Mexoryl SX, or Tinosorb).

When are they going to drop the Swear filter ?
I frequently see people 'bypassing' it.
Today, (as well as others) I see this:
I don't get why it's OK to post pictures with profanity in it now.
Not so long ago it would have brought the dreaded Warnings.
Anyone at home, including member's kids, or a boss at work, could see these images, over your shoulder.
I know that probably, a majority of the members are used to profanity.
I don't understand ...

Everyday for many months, walkers, bikers, stroller-pushers, puppies and more members of the Alameda community were treated with the calm presence of the Alameda Beach Buddha at the intersection of Broadway and Otis.
Many residents shared fruit, feathers and other gift of thanks with the Buddha, who looked out over the bird sanctuary and San Francisco Bay.
At special holiday times, some Alamedans would put a colorful plastic wreath or even a wreath made of flowers on the Buddha. Interesting objects found in the area were also given to the Buddha, rather than just being casually thrown away.
And for a time, there was a Buddhist teaching taped to the statue: "Today is only today," it read.
That special message seemed to resinate with with many Alamedans who stroll by the Bay as often as possible to relax, take a deep breath or two, watch a heron resting nearby and appreciate our daily life on the Island.
The Alameda Journal would greatly appreciate any news on the Alameda Beach Buddha. The empty spot where the Buddha used to sit lies empty. But the wonderful reflection and open spirit it embodies lives on.
Even without the Beach Buddha, there are ways for Alamedans to find out more about Buddhist teaching. The Orgyen Dorje Den, 2234 Santa Clara Avenue, practices Tibetan Buddhism. Also, the Buddhist Temple of Alameda, at 2325 Pacific Avenue, holds Buddhist services and events.

Here are some easy promotional offers from credit cards that have helped me save for an early retirement! I regularly supplement my income and boost my savings rate by taking care of my credit and only applying for the most lucrative offers, like the ones below. Earlier I earned more than $2,500 in rewards. Updated as of JULY 2015.
Earn 40,000 Bonus Points, Worth $500 in Travel Rewards
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is a rewards credit card offering new cardholders 40,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 in purchases within the first 3 months. This is quite a good deal, as 40,000 points can be redeemed for $500 in travel when you redeem through Chase Ultimate Rewards. Earn 5,000 additional bonus points after you add the first authorized user and make a purchase in the first 3 months from account opening. No annual fee for the first year, $95 in future years. They also now offer 2 points per dollar spent on dining at restaurants, airfare, hotels, car rentals and other travel expenses, as well as 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases.
(This card is the "big brother" of the regular Chase Sapphire® card, where you can get 10,000 points after you spend $500 in purchases within the first 3 months, and an additional 2,500 bonus points after you add the first authorized user and make a purchase in the first 3 months from account opening. There is no annual fee in the first year or subsequent years.)
50,000 Points Worth $500 Cash, $625 in Airfare
Here's another bonus worth $500+ for all you freelancers, consultants, and small business owners out there (even if you don't even know it). The Ink Plus® Business Card is offering 50,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 in the first 3 months your account is open. $95 annual fee, waived for all first year cardholders. Also earn 5 points for every dollar on everyday business expenses on up to $50,000 in purchases.
Many people aren't aware of the fact that they can apply for business credit cards, even if they are not a corporation or LLC. Why? Because any individual can be a business as well. The business type is called a sole proprietorship.
80,000 Bonus Points worth Multiple Hotel Stays (Up to 12 Free Nights)
The Marriott Rewards Premier Credit Card is currently offering 80,000 bonus points after spending just $3,000 in the first 3 months of Card ownership. Unlike other cards on this list, you're not going to want to convert those points to gift cards, because you'll lose a lot in translation. Marriott rewards points are best used to stay at Marriott hotels, and 80,000 points is good enough for a one night stay at any Ritz Carlton hotel in the WORLD. If one night of luxury isn't your thing, you can use the 80,000 points to stay at a Category 1 hotel for over a week!
In addition to the 80,000 bonus points, new cardmembers also receive a free night's stay at any category 1-5 hotel. That means up to 12 free nights; which is quite the sign-up reward these days. There is an $85 annual fee.
Citi ThankYou Premier Card
Brand new, the Citi ThankYou Premier Card is currently offering 50,000 bonus ThankYou points to new customers when they spend $3,000 in the first three months of card ownership.
ThankYou points don't translate into your usual 100 points = $1, but when you redeem for gift cards … it does. There is also a 25% bonus when you redeem your points for travel, thus 50,000 bonus points can turn into $625 in rewards. Triple points on airfare and travel, double points on restaurants and entertainment and single points on everything else, the Citi ThankYou Premier Card has a $95 annual fee; waived for the first year.

Co-op Produce: 25% Savings
In our basket this morning was the following: 6 kiwi, 5 Gala apples, 5 pears, 3 grapefruit, 2 bell peppers, 4 tomatoes, 8 oz mushrooms, 6 oz blueberries, a head of celery, a head of green leaf lettuce, 4 oranges, 6 yellow onions, 6 cucumbers, 1 bunch of garlic, 7 bananas and 1 lb of baby carrots.
I paid $16.50 going through our neighborhood co-op. {See more about starting your own co-op here.} Out of curiosity, I decided to price out these items to see just how much savings this basket yielded. I used Grocery Smarts and sought out the lowest sale price from all the grocery stores we have here in Utah. Taking that lowest sale price, had I gone to Walmart and price matched {so I didn't have to run around to 6 different stores!} I would have paid about $22.05 for all of the produce I got this morning. Being as I only paid $16.50, that means I saved 25% on fresh produce- no coupons needed!
If starting a co-op sounds like too much work, another option is Bountiful Baskets. The advantage of starting your own co-op is more control over what produce you receive, as well as a lower price, being as we go through a different produce supplier. It's wonderful!

I've only done Bountiful Baskets a handful of times, but it seems to me that I got more than what you are describing for a little less money - $15.

Hi, I read the info on how to start your own co-op. Do you take turns picking up and collecting money like it says in the information, or do you have a few people in charge of it? Also, can you tell us who the wholesaler is for the produce your are purchasing? Thanks.

Anon- we're able to see how much BB costs per box of produce, being as they go through one certain produce supplier. The supplier we use is less $$. That's how we know it's cheaper for more produce. For instance, this week, our apples cost $21.XX per box, whereas BB's cost $23.xx per box. It all comes down to which supplier you use.
So there is a difference, but really, I don't think it's much. If we didn't have a neighborhood co-op, I'd use BB. I do like getting to vote on what produce we want too- that's fun!
Sak- we have 1 person in our neighborhood who has volunteered to coordinate everything. she gets all her produce for FREE for doing it for us. We pay her and she let's us know when everything's ready. A handfull of neighbors also go over and help separate it all out. It took us about 30 minutes to organize it all.

I have done BB for over a year now. I LOVE IT! I think the co-ops are a great opportunity for people and I feel it has always saved me money! The downside to BB is that you have to take what they offer for the week as compared to the co-op you participate in. Sometimes with BB you end up with strange items, but that also encourages me to try new recipes :)
- January 19, 2011 at 12:00 PM
- Claire said...
The produce you get looks so much better than BB's. I stopped getting BB's in July because our garden was producing, and I just started it up again, and now I remember another reason why I stopped: the quality is not great and there is always odd produce that we never eat and I would never buy. So to me, if I'm going to end up throwing it away then it's not a great deal. Your produce looks normal though and like stuff we'd eat. Is there a way to find out if any close to me is already doing the one you are? (I'd just rather not set it up:))
- January 19, 2011 at 12:02 PM

Claire- I've heard that about BB as well. :(

Did you help sort this morning? You had moree in your basket then I ended up with.
Thanks for figuring out the savings. Now I can tell hubby it's worth it and the bread is yummy!
- January 19, 2011 at 12:44 PM
- Utah Deal Diva said...
I did help sort, but I think I only came home with a total of 4 additional items- 1 more pear, 2 more tomatoes and 1 extra onion. Minimal differences.
- January 19, 2011 at 12:54 PM
- Julie said...
It was more then 4 items difference then what I got in my basket, but that's okay. I had my turn sorting last week.
- January 19, 2011 at 3:22 PM
- Julie said...
I'm really just jealous of the extra tomatoes! :-)
- January 19, 2011 at 3:42 PM
- Chantelle said...
I've been doing BB for about 3 months and am LOVING it! All my produce has been wonderful and it's gotten us to expand our palate. I don't get why people would throw away something they don't want to eat... share it with someone who will!!!
- January 19, 2011 at 6:59 PM
- Claire said...
white asparagus for example: we tried it and it was really bitter. I didn't know anyone else who would want it, so I threw the rest away. Everytime I've gotten the basket there's at least one thing in there like that.
