So much love
I bought this backpack in green, and I absolutely love it. It is so soft, the whole thing is super floppy and feels like an old, worn-in backpack. The canvas is really good quality, and the zippers are nice and sturdy. The zippers go all the way down the sides, too. Like 3/4 of the way down the bag so you have plenty of room to put things in. The one downside is that the straps aren't padded whatsoever, they are just a couple layers of soft canvas. But surprisingly, they never hurt my shoulders. I have even carried my laptop, several textbooks, and a water bottle in it and it never hurt.My favorite thing about the bag, though, is that I swear it is expandable. It looks small laying on my bed, but I can just keep shoving more and more things into it and it seems to never fill up. Even when it is filled to the brim, it doesn't look overstuffed. Also, I'm a girl. Even though this bag is labeled as "mens," it seems a little small for a guy. Especially anyone bigger than me. I'm 5"7" and abour 170 lbs. Hope this review was helpful!!

Black and bling: The LBD gets revamped for another season

While fashion insiders claim midnight as the new black, this tried and tested color remains a never-fail wardrobe staple, especially among Houstonians at recent bashes.
And the little black dress (LBD) has not lost its hierarchical standing, and gets revamped on a seasonal basis. Nothing hides holiday bloat like black, after all. But making a noir ensemble exciting requires add-ons: perhaps bright hued stilettos by the likes of Jimmy Choo, architectural necklaces (Hervé van der Straeten), brooches on brooches, statement cuffs (Lulu Frost for J. Crew) or layered lace (Dolce & Gabbana).
Another approach might be to mix patterned hoisery by Wolford and a cropped jacket (leather, palettes, or metallic tweed) with a streamlined sheath. Still find yourself in a closet crisis? Embrace your inner Eartha Kitt with an animal print, or pull a Coco by piling on opera length pearls.

In a way, all museums are treasure houses, places where valuable things are guarded and preserved. But what makes something a treasure? People invest different kinds of value in artifacts—aesthetic, historical, personal, spiritual. Value is, after all, in the eye of the beholder, and the treasures we Americans have placed in the National Museum of American History reveal a great deal about who we are, as individuals and as a nation. What kinds of treasures has the Smithsonian collected, and why? How has the meaning of treasure changed over time? What makes something worth treasuring?

It's been more than seven weeks since reports surfaced stating that Mike Napoli was Boston bound, but we might actually have a resolution relatively soon. According to CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman, Napoli and the Red Sox have made progress and continue to try to work out an agreement after the original three-year, $39 million deal hit a snag. Multiple reports have indicated that the Red Sox are trying to alter their original deal with Napoli, after a hip issue was detected in the veteran during his physical with the club. The Sox reportedly want some form of protective language, or they could seek a shorter deal out of fear that Napoli won't remain healthy for the duration of a multiyear contract. Heyman reports that there is a belief that there will be a resolution to the situation by next week at the latest, even though Napoli and the Red Sox are keeping their options open. Napoli is reportedly talking to a couple of other American League teams, while the Sox have been linked to some other first basemen, including Mike Morse, Casey Kotchman and Lyle Overbay. Napoli reportedly is expected to be ready for Opening Day. Photo via Facebook/Mike Napoli

Author Gus Lee to Speak to Record Graduating Class
Gus Lee, whose award-winning books describe his family's journey from hide-bound, pre-communist China to a relatively free but sometimes forbidding America, will share his story with the largest graduating class in Whitworth College history during the school's 114th commencement ceremony. Lee will speak about "Embracing Tomorrow with Moral Courage" to more than 460 graduates, including his daughter, at 3 p.m., May 16, in the Spokane Arena.
Whitworth President Bill Robinson will be the keynote speaker for the college's graduate commencement ceremony at 10 a.m. on May 15 in Whitworth's Cowles Memorial Auditorium. His address, "Seeking and Dwelling" will be delivered to about 100 graduates receiving master's degrees in education and international management. Robinson is in his 11th year as Whitworth's 17th president and has helped lead the college to record levels of student enrollment and retention, financial strength and external visibility.
Professor of Communication Studies Ron Pyle, who along with Associate Professor of Psychology Noelle Wiersma was voted Most Influential Professor by the graduating class, will speak on "Who do You Think You Are?" at Whitworth's baccalaureate ceremony at 10 a.m. on May 16 in the Whitworth Fieldhouse.
A significant number of Whitworth's graduating seniors have been awarded selective fellowships at top graduate schools, including half of this year's physics graduates. Caleb Hug, who double-majored in computer science and applied physics and won a prestigious Goldwater Scholarship for his senior year at Whitworth, will attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Ben McDonald, also a computer science and applied physics double-major, will attend Vanderbilt University; Brian Woodburn, who double-majored in math and physics, will attend the University of California Berkeley; and Seth Hubbert, a physics major, will attend the University of Massachusetts.
"Whitworth has made a strong commitment to improving on the high quality of its math and science programs," says Richard Stevens, associate professor and department chair in physics. "A number of new facilities, including a new observatory in physics, a new IR spectrometer in chemistry, and a computer-science lab funded by the National Science Foundation have enabled the college to offer access to research opportunities for our students. However, it is the aptitude and motivation of our students themselves that enable them to succeed."
Lee was Whitworth's Ada Redmond Reader in October 2002. While on campus, he visited classes and read from his most recent book, Chasing Hepburn: A Memoir of Shanghai, Hollywood and a Chinese Family's Fight for Freedom (Harmony Books, 2003). The book, lauded by Publisher's Weekly as "a rewarding, ambitious memoir...that resonates with vibrant detail and effective dialogue," opens in 1909 with Lee's grandfather rescuing Lee's mother from the Chinese foot-binding ritual. It then follows the family's break with Chinese tradition and search in America for the independence and freedom epitomized by their screen idol, Katharine Hepburn.
Lee's first novel, China Boy (Dutton, 1991), which is based on his childhood, was a Literary Guild selection, a New York Times Best Novel for 1991 and an American Library Association Best for the Last 50 Years; it is currently in its 15th printing. Lee's other books include Honor and Duty (Knopf, 1994), a Book of the Month Club selection and a Chicago Tribune Best 10 Novels of 1994; Tiger's Tail (Knopf, 1996), which was optioned for a film by Twentieth Century Fox; and No Physical Evidence (Ballantine, 1998), which won an Independent Publisher Book Award.
Prior to becoming a full-time author in 1993, Lee had notable careers in law and the military. He attended West Point and served in the U.S. Army as a drill sergeant and paratrooper. Lee earned B.A. and J.D. degrees from the University of California at Davis, where he also served as assistant dean of students for the Educational Opportunity Program and project coordinator of the Asian American Studies Program.
After receiving his law degree in 1976, he re-joined the U.S. Army and served as defense counsel and command judge advocate. After concluding his military service, Lee returned to California where he worked as an attorney and legal educator. He has served as a corporate vice president, senior executive for the State Bar of California, and deputy directory of the California District Attorneys Association.
He has provided leadership consulting to corporations including Bank of America, Kaiser Permanente, MCI and Lucent; has addressed the National Conference of Supreme Court Justices; and is an adjunct staff member for the Center for Creative Leadership. Lee resides with his family in Colorado.
Located in Spokane, Wash., Whitworth is a private, liberal arts college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The college enrolls 2,200 students in more than 50 undergraduate and graduate programs.

HUGE Glee Spoiler: Is Rachel Engaged to Finn? Photographic Evidence!
We've been going crazy searching for clues to if Rachel (Lea Michele) will actually accept Finn's (Cory Monteith) marriage proposal on Glee. And now? We finally have an (almost completely definitive) answer!
Around 8 PM on January 18, Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk tweeted this adorable photo of all dressed up for Valentine's Day.
"Happy valentines day @msleamichele," he wrote. The photo is super-cute, and we totally love Rachel's pretty little heart dress, but OMG IS THAT A RING ON HER FINGER??????
(Note: You may need to enlarge the pic. But you can totally see the ring.)
Lea is totally dressed in costume as Rachel in the shot, and do you see that huge sparkler on her ring finger? Call us crazy, but we're taking this as pretty solid evidence that Finn and Rachel DO, in fact, get engaged.
Um, squee!
Can't get enough Gleetastic goodness? Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter!

Houston Rockets (4-5) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (4-5) 9:30 p.m. At long last, the Lakers will have their man on the bench. Mike D'Antoni is expected to make his Lakers debut tonight in Los Angeles when his Lakers take on the Rockets. The turmoil of the last few weeks seems to have faded and Los Angeles is actually winning games. Kobe Bryant is leading the league in scoring and even Dwight Howard is starting to look a bit healthier. The Lakers still will be without Steve Nash and so tonight's offense might be a watered-down version with Bryant leading some pick and rolls or Pau Gasol operating at the elbow. It will remain a feeling out process for sure in the early going. Defensively is where D'Antoni will have to make sure he is on his game -- or that Howard is. James Harden has taken the league by storm in the early going and continues to pour in points. This does nto seem to be a one-week wonder but rather the kind of play the Rockets expect from Harden every night. I am a...

COMMUNITY FORUM ON GLOBALIZATION AND JOBS-Andrew Stelzer
Last night, over 100 people gathered at the University of South Floridaââ¬â¢s St Petersburg campus to learn about globalization and discuss how to deal with some of its negative effects. After watching a video that touched on the loss of American jobs in the last 15 years, both in manufacturing and customer service, a panel of 6 people spoke to the crowd about their perspectives. The panel included and economist, a journalist, and Michael Kell and union organizer for operating engineers local 925 ACT
The word ââ¬Åglobalizationââ¬? was never defined, but the discussion centered on jobs; centering on a few themes: companies moving to other countries for cheaper labor, the lack of workers rights both in the US and abroad, job related immigration, both illegal and legal, and the medias role in educating the American public on how these systems work and what we can do to cope with lower wages and fewer jobs. Robert, Trigaux, an business writer for the St Petersburg times, described the Tampa Bay areas history with call-center employment as a typical example of the global ââ¬Ërace to the bottomââ¬? where companies chase cheap labor and drive wages down. ACT
Then the crowd split into groups, numbering between 5 and 7 people, they each met for 30 minutes and tried to come up with answers to three questionsââ¬Â¦ The diversity of the groups was a chance for people who might not normally speak about politics or economics to share ideas and debate. Journalists were asked to participate in one group discussion; WMNFs reporter was in a group with three students, an engineer, and a college graduate whoââ¬â¢s working two jobs. ACTS
People brought their own personal experiences to the discussion, reinforcing the notion that globalization is nothing that happens ââ¬Åover thereââ¬?, itââ¬â¢s something thatââ¬â¢s happening here at home. ACTS
Because the forum was sponsored by the Poynter Institute, one question was---What can the media do to help people understand and address the problems of globalization? 2 ACTS?ââ¬â ââ¬ÅGroup number 9..ââ¬?
Although many particiapnts were upset about the the loss of American jobs and increase in corporate control of the worldââ¬â¢s economies, most people seemed to think it isnââ¬â¢t as simple a saying ââ¬Åglobalization is evil.ââ¬? ACT ââ¬ÅWe have a story that shows the good and the bad of globalization..ââ¬?
This was the second community forum on globalization; there are plans for another one in the next month or two. For information on future forums, go to www.wmnf.org and look for information related to this news story.comments powered by Disqus

How to revise chemistry? What is the best way to revise chemistry for examinations? Exam revision is a chore, and, there is no way round it, but remember that hard work pays off and the biggest resource, apart from your teacher, lesson notes, textbooks, internet etc. is YOUR potential ability to learn, AND developing a positive attitude to study, that enables you to work hard to succeed.
There is no magic revision method - quality time study - this is science not alchemy!

West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie made it a miserable return to the Hawthorns for Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo with a second-half winner to stun the Champions League holders 2-1.
The Nigerian international headed home a cross from Shane Long whose opening goal had been cancelled out by Eden Hazard.
It condemned Di Matteo, who spent two years as Albion boss, and his side to a first away Barclays Premier League defeat of the campaign.

President Mugabe returned home yesterday from the Far East where he was on his traditional annual vacation. The Head of State and Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces spent a fortnight in the Far East.
President Mugabe landed at the Harare International Airport in the morning and was welcomed by Vice President Joice Mujuru, Defence Minister Emmerson Mnangagwa and State Security Minister Sydney Sekeramayi and senior Government officials, including service chiefs.
In a brief interview with journalists after landing, President Mugabe said 2013 was definitely a year of reckoning.
"The figure 13 is bad luck for others, not us," he said, in reference to his political opponents.
The country is going for elections this year and failure by Copac to wind up the constitution-making process is likely to see the country holding elections under the current supreme law.
President Mugabe is on record stating that the country would go for elections with or without a new constitution.
Contrary to some media reports that President Mugabe had rushed home, Presidential spokesman Mr George Charamba yesterday said that President Mugabe was scheduled to come back at 6am on January 10. He only arrived at Harare International Airport at 9.30am.
"Those that are late by a good three-and-a-half hours can never be deemed to have rushed back home. In fact, we are angry that he was late," said Mr Charamba.

In 1948 the first of the two Kinsey reports on human sexual behaviour was published, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. The publication of Sexual Behavior in the Human Female followed in 1958. Dr Alfred Kinsey (23rd June, 1894 - 25th August, 1956), a zoologist and head of the Indiana University's Institute for Sex Research, based his reports on thousands of personal interviews conducted by himself and his research team, and their findings both outraged and fascinated fifties America. The reports went on to become best sellers and revolutionized public perceptions of sexuality and morality.

The Diabolo Dance Theatre of Taiwan has merged traditional diabolo with contemporary dance and gymnastics, becoming the first artistic performing group to combine these creative elements with theatrical ideas. These young performers, ranging in age from 8 to 24, have mastered the skills of playing diabolo with musical rhythm, ballet, gymnastics, jazz, and martial arts. Diabolos have been one of the most popular toys for children in China for over 4,000 years. Spinning, tossing, swinging, looping, and bouncing are the five basics in playing the diabolo. For better control of the rolling diabolo, a player needs to learn how to breathe along with the movement and how to concentrate on the flying diabolo.

In a meeting of East and West, Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man joins forces with Appalachian folk guitarist Lee Knight and Ugandan musician James Makubuya to create a fascinating blend of two musical cultures and to revisit the music from her album, "Wu Man and Friends." Wu Man is an internationally renowned pipa virtuoso, cited by the Los Angeles Times as "the artist most responsible for bringing the pipa to the Western World." Born in Hangzhou, China, Wu Man studied at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing where she became the first recipient of a master's degree in pipa. Wu Man was selected by Yo-Yo Ma as the winner of the City of Toronto Glenn Gould Protégé Prize in music and communication. She is also the first artist from China to have performed at the White House with the noted cellist with whom she now performs as part of the Silk Road Project. Her touring has taken her to the major music halls of the world including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.
Lee Knight
Raised in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, Lee Knight became interested in folk music while in high school. During college, he became familiar with the music and stories of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, as well as of the Adirondacks. He wanted to learn the music and stories from traditional sources — people who had them as part of their culture and community for generations. He also collected songs and stories from other parts of the world, including England, Scotland, Central Asia, Columbia and the Amazon region of Peru.
Lee Knight currently works as a folk singer, story teller and outdoor leader, performing at concerts, workshops, Elderhostels, festivals, camps and schools. He leads hikes, canoe trips and guides whitewater rafts. He plays various instruments, including the five-string banjo, various guitars, the Appalachian dulcimer, the mouth bow, the Cherokee flute and the Cherokee rattle, as well as the Native American drum.
Dr. James Makubuya
Dr. James Makubuya is an associate professor of music at Wabash College in Indiana. With the endongo (8-string bowl lyre) as his main instrument, he is a proficient performer of several instruments, including the akogo (thumb piano), adungu (9-string bow harp), endingidi (1-string tube fiddle), amadinda (12-slab log xylophone), and engoma (drums). He is also an accomplished dancer and choreographer, having studied with several master musicians and dancers from various East African musical traditions.
Dr. Makubuya was born and brought up in the culture of the Baganda, in the East African nation of Uganda. He graduated with a B.A. in Music & English Literature from Makerere University in Uganda, a Master of Music degree in Western Music from Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., and a Ph.D., in Ethnomusicology from UCLA.
His most recent solo performances include Carnegie Hall, the London Trinity College of Music, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. He jointly produced a CD, ]Wu Man and Friends, in 2005 with Wu Man, Lee Knight, and Julian Kytasy.

Old Folks Jokes
Holiday weekends are a good time a few laughs. amba at ambivablog sent these along about a month ago.
- Reporter interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?" the reporter asked. She replied, "No peer pressure."
- The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.
- An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Walmart.
"Walmart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Walmart?"
"Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week."
- Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.
- I've still got it, but nobody wants to see it.
- These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, "For fast relief."
- Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she replied. "Two years older than me." "So you're 96," the undertaker commented. She responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it?
And finally, if you've heard these before:
- My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Can you believe that a copy of these jokes is now hanging on my refrigerator? I tore them out of an old Saturday Evening Post yesterday as they seem to "hit home"!
Oh how I needed a laugh this morning
Thank you
Now if I could just remember the stories long enough to share them :)
Tickled me too. Just what I needed to finish off my pleasant Sunday.
Good morning pick-me-up! I laughed at all except this one: "Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out."
This was my serious strategy, to stay skinny all my life until the wrinkles started.
Love these! On Susan's comment about eating to fill out the wrinkles- have you noticed that middle-aged to older men look younger when they lose weight, but women look older. That filling out the wrinkles thing, ya' know...
Very funny -- I can always use a few jokes!
Those were great. I needed a good laugh today.
There used to be an actor called Bernard Miles who did character sketches of Hertfordshire life eg :
Wife to Husband : "Where would you like to be a'buried ?"
Husband to wife : "On top 'a you dear".
And then there's a Yorkshire joke :
Man goes to see his late wife's headstone. It says, "Lord ! she were thin". (It should have been "Lord ! she were thine".) So he says to the monumental mason, "You've left out the 'e'". Some days later he returns to the church yard and there is the corrected headstone, "Ee, Lord ! she were thin"
I can attest to that last one! Plus, I can't hear anything.
Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out. ....
I KNEW there was a reason I kept eating!
Ah yes, delightful laughter too for both G and I.
Can you stand more jokes on aging? The 90 year old widower is getting married and his grandchildren are puzzled and wonder why. One says, "I'll bet she's a good cook, huh Grandpa?" Grandpa replies," Can't boil water." Well I bet she's good looking, huh Grandpa? Reply: "Ugly as a mud fence", She must be real smart then, huh Grandpa? Reply: "Dumb as an ox". Well why are you marrying her Grandpa? Reply: "She can still drive at night"'
Another joke: The old man goes in for his physical and the doctor runs a lot of tests and tells the man to return for the results. When the man returns the doctor says, "I have good news and bad news, which do you want first?" The old guy says he guesses he wants the bad news first because after that he will need good news. The doctor tells him that he has Alzheimer's. The man is very upset and asks the doctor what could be good news after that devestating diagnosis. The doctor says, "The good news is, after you get home you won't remember".
Pretty bad, huh?

Daniel Lavecky spotted a gap in the market for internet-based financial and payment solutions for banks.
After realising Pure Commerce was too small for Australian banks he expanded to Asia and now has 65 staff globally with offices in Sydney, Seoul, Singapore, Zurich, London and Auckland and a turnover of $15 million last year.
The Sydney-based payments company has now been bought by US-based payments giant Euronet Worldwide.
Pure Commerce signed the deal with Euronet last week, after almost five months of exclusive talks but Lavecky declined to reveal the price paid.
Founder and chief executive: Pure Commerce
Age: 38
Based: Singapore
I noticed that there weren't very many internet-related products, either for business or internally, for the use of the bank when I was an intern at the Commonwealth Bank.
One comment when I spoke to a manager there was, "Why would anyone want to buy shares over the internet?" So that gave me a feeling that banks in general didn't really appreciate the power of the internet.
Our model uses the internet in the same way that Hotmail was one of the first ones to deliver email free of charge globally.
We're very lean, very nimble, very flexible, and that's because as an entrepreneur, you have to be.
Our model is to create very complex, very large applications, which we hosted and provided to the banks completely free of charge. We charge for usage.
We deliver the feeling of comfort and of security, delivering services across the internet. That was critical to the growth of the business.
The growth of Asia has just been tremendous. With Asia, we've found that the banks were very open to new products because they wanted to deliver in retail, within commercial, within their enterprise groups.
We have a very scalable model so we've invested a tremendous amount of money over the years in building our financial technologies that we scale and sell to banks across Asia Pacific.
In Asia, it's a very different style of marketing. It's not about how much money you can spend on the top line. It's about relationships, and it's about trust.
It's not about getting off a plane, briefcase in hand, and having meetings, because you'll get nowhere. The way to be successful in Asia is about having great relationships, where there's a level of trust.
In Asia it's all about, "Am I friends with you first? Then I'll do business with you," as opposed to, "I'll do business with you, then I'll develop a friendship relationship with you." It's completely different.
As chief executive I'm looking at pipeline growth. I'm looking at revenues: are we on target? I'm looking at expenses to make sure that we're in line with our budgets, and I'm also looking at key goals that we've set on a yearly basis.
There is a tectonic shift in labour markets, and I say that to all Australians, that concept of distance has become irrelevant. When I live in Singapore and I want to show my parents my children, they can have a Skype call.
The concept of distance will become even less important in the coming years as we start to get the national broadband network, and 4G on mobile phones becomes even more prevalent.
The jobs are moving over into low cost countries, and they're not coming back. In the next four years there will be a tremendous shift of offshoring of white collar jobs and we're already seeing it in the technology industry.
Australians need to consider the world as their true market, and that labour needs to consider that they are now facing challenges on a global basis, and they're competing for roles on a global basis.

On the plane from EKATI, I overheard a mine geologist bemoaning his lot. "I could have become a miner and earned more, but I wanted to do geology and now look at me," he said before the noise of the plane drowned him out. I thought of this lad when I came across the following un-readable graph:
Let me try and explain this graph which has some interesting information in it.
Along the X-Axis is plotted the number of years a geologist has been working. Along the Y-Axis is plotted the number of dollars a geologist with X-years' of experience thinks he/she should be paid. The big name for this is Salary Expectation Versus Years In the Industry (SEYI).
Now you probably cannot read the numbers very well. For that I say sorry, but I cannot get a better, bigger version into this blog, and the creator of the graph won't give me a link that I can pass on to a better, more legible version. Here is what the graph compiler writes about this graph:
An analysis of InfoMine's proprietary salary database showed that the average starting salary expectation for a geologist in Canada in 2010 was around USD $60,000. It also showed that over time, Canadian geologists expect an annual salary increase of around 4%, more than twice the Canadian inflation rate of ~ 1.8% (2010). With the increase of industry experience, the salary gap between the 20th and 80th percentile increased significantly. It grew from USD $25,000 at the beginning of a geologist's career to more than $80,000 with 20 years of experience. This gap is most likely a result of the job setting (office versus field/remote), as well as of the industry type, such as the differences between government and academic positions versus industry (exploration, mine service, mine production), and by commodity. Individual expectations in this study were in line with surveys issued by the CostMine division, including "Canadian Mine Salaries, Wages and Benefits, 2010 survey Results", with average salaries of Cnd $78,000 and $104,000 for mine geologists and chief geologists, respectively.
Kind of tough to understand, so here is my explanation:
The average geologist, just starting his/her career in Canada (mining or otherwise, I presume) expects a salary of $60,000. This does no mean that is what they get: there is always a disconnect between expectation and achievement; between what you think you should get and what you actually get.
Now for the 4 percent number. Seems if you read the graph a-right, the longer the geologist has been working, the more they expect as a salary. Again this does not mean that they get more, just that they hope to get more if they change jobs–jump ship to put it simply. The rate of increase of expected salary is 4 percent per year.
Now as pointed out that is more than twice the rate of inflation. So either geologists are in deep illusion about salaries or they are being paid sufficiently more to inflate their expectations. Or maybe they are just setting impossible goals when out job hunting.
As for the gap between the 20 and the 80 percentile. The quote attributes this to different jobs as a geologist. For example a geologist with an easy job in a depressed sector may have lower salary expectations than somebody in a booming sector. At least that is how I read the quote.
Of course there are other possible explanations. Once you have been working as a geologist for twenty years, you pretty much know your worth and the industry know your ability. Maybe this gap between the 20 and the 80 percentile is a reflection of personal objectivity regarding one's ability. Some geologists just know they are good, and obviously some geologists just know they are not. Hence some expect more money when seeking a new jobs, and some acknowledge that they will have to settle for less.
Still $80,000 is a big difference in expectation between competent and incompetent geologists. Maybe though that is a reflection of reality. If all the geologist can do is log core after 20 years why pay him as much as a geologist who can find a great new ore body to mine?
I am told there are many more graphs like this, and the promise is someday to make them public. In the meantime, if you are curious, email Jan Pfeifer firstname.lastname@example.com> and ask him for information, advice, and help.
As for the correlation to actual salaries earned by mining geologists as tabulated by CostMine, all I can say is take a look at the many, far more detailed postings on this blog of publically-available information about mining salaries. You can find them all by way of a simple search using the Search box above. Alternatively here are links to a few:
To end, a picture that proves that if you earn enough, you can stand on a beautiful beach having your photo takne by a beautiful girl!

Masters winner Bubba Watson proves a small team brings success, says Ewen Murray
Golfers should look at Bubba Watson and stop over-complicating their preparations, says Ewen Murray.
Last Updated: 09/05/14 1:43pm
It's where the golfing aficionados meet to welcome the new season, it's where the worlds best players arrive with their games in the best possible shape and it's where we say goodbye to the harsh winter and hello to the long warm summer.
This year was not the best tournament. Bubba Watson won magnificently as well as professionally but the chasing pack lacked the Augusta experience to take the tournament down to the wire and too many if the big names were well below their best.
All credit to Sweden's Jonas Blixt and the hugely impressive, Jordan Spieth. They pretty much gave their all and have much to be proud of. Their time may well come in the near future.
My own highlight of the week was to be honoured to have the company of six time winner, Jack Nicklaus in the commentary box on both Thursday and Sunday.
Jack's insight and comments were what you would expect from him. What struck me was his simplistic words on how he became a six-time Master with 12 other majors. Many players, too many in fact, talk about the team they have built around them. The dieticians, the coaches, both short and long game, the physical trainers, the mind guru's, the agents and goodness knows what else.
Jack mentioned his lifelong coach Jack Grout, a man he would meet up with on two occasions throughout the season. He talked about his yardage book, he was the first player to use this, and the warmth and the company of his family. No hangers on, just those closest to him. Them and his belief, talent and knowledge would be his armoury.
The players who failed to make the cut on the Friday evening was like a who's who of golf. Major winners, world golf champions, players champions, past champions, many of whom are in the top 30 in the world rankings. I'm beginning to think so much is done for so many players, they can no longer do the simple, yet very important things for themselves. Not all are in that category, but the larger percentage are.
One of the most refreshing players is Ian Poulter. Ian deserves all the success that has come his way. He is a hard worker, a realist and a player who has utilised the best if his gifts and extracted the most from his career. Yet inexplicably, after a third round of 70, he wanted to retire to a room with padded walls to get the frustration out of his system. 70? At Augusta? Frustration? Time to get real, I think.
His reaction to that excellent two-under par round on a difficult Saturday was wrong for so many reasons. It was an impressive 18 holes and yes, like all rounds, could have been better, but after his savaging of a good day, it was no real surprise Sunday produced an average round despite being close to the top of his form.
There are no secrets around the corner. There is only one winner at the end of it all and the man who plays well and controls his mind and emotion will succeed. If there ever was a secret to success, Jack Nicklaus had it. His circle was small, he was comfortable with that and it proved to be a supremely effective formula.
The new Masters champion has never had a coach. His circle is similar to Nicklaus. His wife and adopted son Caleb is his world. His golf is played through feel. He is an underrated player who knows where the club face is and he knows what angle to attack the ball.
Bubba Watson will win more often than many others who have greater technique. He is at ease with his lot and like Nicklaus, the lack of others around him frees up time and space for himself.
In Jordan Spieth, America has a wonderful prospect for the future. His maturity at 20 years of age is admirable. He lambasted his own behaviour during defeat to Ernie Els in the Accenture Match Play earlier this year and I have no doubt he will look back on last week and see where improvements can be made.
Here is a man who dropped out of college to gamble on getting into tournaments via the dreaded Monday qualifying route where one or two places are available.
His sister is disabled and with part of his earnings he has started a charity that will help many who have the same troubles in life. His whole career is ahead of him and I have no hesitation in saying he will make a great success of it. He is a very impressive individual with his feet firmly on the ground.
Jonas Blixt is a member of the European Tour and therefor qualifies for Ryder Cup selection. Another of my co-commentators last week, Paul McGinley, will have been impressed the way he stuck to his task down the stretch and seemed unfazed by the pressure on the back nine at Augusta. Jonas has his base by Jacksonville Beach just a mile or two from the TPC at Sawgrass and another top performance at the Players Championship in three weeks' time will give European Captain McGinley some food for thought.
I enjoyed Paul's company and he is evolving into an excellent commentator. Right now he is focused on doing the best possible job for his team. He is a deep thinker, thoughtful analyser and I have no doubt he will do a superb job at the helm for Europe.
Tiger Woods will miss out on defending the Players as he continues his convalescence after back surgery and it's doubtful he will be at Pinehurst for the US Open.
He was missed last week. We have become so used to seeing him challenging for majors and hopefully the procedure he underwent in Utah last month will be a complete success and his recovery will be a speedy one.

The trial of journalist Mam Sait Ceesay, the former press officer at State House, did not proceed at the Banjul Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, 25 March, before Magistrate Kayode Olagubutu.
The case was supposed to be called on the 24 March, but it coincided with a public holiday. The accused person, who expected that the case was going to continue yesterday, was in court and eagerly waiting for the prosecutor and his counsel to arrive, but who were nowhere to be found. The witness, who was supposed to be cross examined by the defence counsel, was not in court either.
The case was adjourned to Monday, 31 March.
Mam Sait Ceesay, the former press officer at State house, is standing trial for false publication. He pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against him.

YOU could be fooled into thinking this image had been digitally altered, as row upon row of apartments seem to stretch to infinity. But these are real tower blocks in Hong Kong, documented by photographer Michael Wolf in his series Architecture of Density.
"This image is beautiful and harrowing at the same time," says Wolf, who deliberately left the sky and ground out of frame to create the illusion of indeterminable size. "Viewed from a distance, the photograph could be mistaken for a supermarket barcode, but up close, the brutal reality of life in a megacity becomes apparent."
The photographs in the series are numbered instead of named, reflecting the anonymity of living in one of the most densely populated places on Earth, with 7.2 million people squeezed into 1104 square kilometres. In its densest district, Kwun Tong, there are over 56,000 people per square kilometre. London has 5285 per square kilometre.
The shortage of space in the city has forced Hong Kong's buildings skyward. It now boasts the most skyscrapers of any city in the world, with 293. This photo was taken in Tseung Kwan O, one of Hong Kong's many new developments, built on land reclaimed from the sea.
Rapid spread of disease is one complication of high density cities. Wolf began the project after the 2002 outbreak of SARS, when he realised that despite working as a photojournalist, he hadn't documented his own vision of the city. "What I love about Hong Kong is the rapid pace of change, the unpredictability, the wonderful chaos," says Wolf.
Architecture of Density is on display in the Flowers Gallery in London from 17 January.

Benghazi — With bloodshed in Libya continuing unabated, some political elites are floating the idea of a constitutional monarchy to restore order and unite the country.
"The return of the al-Senussi monarchy is now the solution and guarantee for the return of security and stability to Libya," Foreign Minister Mohamed Abdelaziz said Tuesday (March 25th) at the conclusion of Arab foreign ministers' preparatory meeting for the 25th Arab League summit.
"Contacts have already been made, and we're in touch with dignitaries and tribal chiefs in Libya, and also with the grandson of King al-Senussi, Prince Mohammed, who lives overseas," the minister added.
He noted that the 1951 constitution was being reviewed, adding that many believed it was one of the best in the region and world.
"Many tribal sheikhs who lived under monarchy and know it prefer such a system of government," he said.
Libyans are mixed over the prospect of a constitutional monarchy.
"I support the demand for the return of the king because it's the positive thing for Libya's condition," said Misrata lawyer Mansour Bourwila, 33.
"It's not strange that some Libyans have fears because they live in a country that just got out of a 42-year-old farce," Bourwila said. "These are natural fears. However... the desired monarchy will be controlled by the constitution and the oversight of parliament and will have specific and defined powers."
In her turn, teacher Hawaa Younes Said, 56, said, "Yes to the return of the prince to govern Cyrenaica so peace and security can prevail... We've had enough of this arbitrary rule in the last three years."
"Monarchy, accompanied by federalism, was and still is the ideal and final solution for the Libyan crisis," 38-year-old petroleum engineer Abderrazek al-Awami told Magharebia.
"If Prince Mohammed Hasan al-Rida al-Senussi can bring us back security and safety, why not?" journalist Saleha al-Mesmari agreed. "The most important thing is to spare the Libyan people these assassinations and bombings and get rid of terrorism."
High-school student Ayman Zidani, 17, is among those who reject the idea of a monarchy.
"It's impossible that one person govern a whole country alone. What we've seen and tried with Kadhafi was enough for Libyans," he said.
Gumhouria Bank employee Mohammed Suleiman agreed. "No to returning backwards. No monarchy and no Kadhafi-style jamahiriya; we want a new, successful rule," he said.
Others say the important thing is security for Libya.
"As far as I'm concerned, I accept even Libyan folklore artist Nadia Astar to rule Libya, as long as we get rid of these assassinations, bombings and concerns in the country," martyrs ministry employee Ali al-Houti, 33, told Magharebia.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
Score: 9.0 / 10
Guitar Hero was certainly not the first game in the music rhythm category, but it has become the most popular and has drawn attention to the genre from gamers and non-gamers alike. A full two years later and we are hit with the third generation of the title. The only thing is, the original captain steering the ship is gone.
* Screens from Xbox 360 version
When Harmonix moved on to develop Rock Band, a lot of speculation about Activision's new choice for primary developer (Neversoft) started to buzz the halls of the Internet. The long and the short of it is that they have not screwed it up, so you can relax.
The first thing that you will notice about Guitar Hero III is that it feels new yet comfortable. The presentation screens where you choose your band and the song
list have been revamped for a new, cleaner look. I personally didn't care much for the old presentation and didn't realize how much it bothered me until I saw how much better this one is.
The in-game graphics have received an overhaul as well. The singers have lip synch going on which makes you feel more like you
are part of an actual performance. The power meter and score meters are still there, but have also received some slight improvements. Oddly, the happy ending "You Rock!" looks somewhat out of place, with enough anti-aliased jaggies to shred a guitar case.
Speaking of shredding, one of Guitar Hero III's biggest improvements is the inclusion of the "boss battle mode". At first, I was a bit skeptical of how they could include something from a traditional game in one like this. I'm happy to report that not only is it a great idea, it works well and elements from it are also incorporated into the multiplayer aspect.
During career mode, you will face three bosses: Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Slash (Gun's N Roses) and Lou (the Devil). Instead of building up and unleashing star power, if you successfully build up a combo you will receive one of eight attacks. You can actually combine up to three of these at once, and you unleash them on your opponent the same way you would star power. This works in both the boss battle mode (something you will only encounter in the career mode) or against another player when playing multi-player.
These attacks include things like increasing the difficulty level temporarily, flipping the fret board for a bit and even a 'broken string' that you have to repair by rapidly tapping the broken fret button. They are all unique, all troublesome, and work well as a reward for playing well. During the boss battles, it's not just enough to survive until the end of a song – you must actually cause your opponent to fail.
* Screen from Xbox 360 version
Unfortunately, the PS2 version does not support online play. I know the network adapter wasn't the most popular add-on but many people do have it and it would be nice. (All other platforms are online, including the Wii.) At this time, due to proprietary networking on each console you can only play against someone with the same type of machine. The Wii does not currently offer downloadable content, but this could be addressed in the future.
The track list is pretty big at 71 songs, and over half of them are performed by the original artists (albeit, the majority of this comes from the bonus tracks which are often bands you may have never heard of). Still, it is impressive though the "Legends of Rock" subtitle may make you wonder when you see songs from last year mixed in with classics from KISS. Most people will find this a mixed bag, but then again it's quite difficult to please everyone no matter what choices are made.
As you play the game, you are awarded cash depending on how well you play. At times, you might even get a sponsor to allow you to buy things like additional songs, guitars, and outfits. I wish there was an option to customize your character more than just an outfit, but perhaps we'll see that in the next version.
Initial comments I have seen are giving this game a lower score because it fails to innovate. I disagree. The game has moved forward without abandoning those who love it for what it is. It's an incremental improvement at best, but that doesn't knock down the score for me. Forget the other versions exist and enjoy this one for the boss battles, great multiplayer and all around good rockin' time.

A Healthy Vegetarian Sukkot Menu
1 comment | Leave Comment
After too much meat over these holidays I am going veggie with this Sukkot menu. It is still high in protein and filling, but much healthier. Here is my menu, simple, healthy and delicoius:
Citrus Salad with Beets, Candied Kumquats and Tangerine Honey Vinaigrette
Chickpea Tagine with Couscous
Molasses Cake Parfaits with Poached Pears
The vivid flavors of this modern tagine are perfect for sukkot and any day. The tagine takes a bit of time to put together (as does any great dish), but once assembled, cooks itself.
The flavors also intensify and meld as the tagine sits. So, the dish is perfect for cooking a day or 2 ahead of serving.
If you feel you need to serve something else, here are a few other veggie and meat dishes that will go well with this menu.
Roasted Snapper with Sweet and Sour Citrus Reduction
Have a happy and healthy new year and tasty Sukkot.
