Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 10/3/13
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti expects Gareth Bale to use the next 15 days to recover from his latest injury. The 24-year-old, who cost Real £85.3million from Tottenham in September, suffered another setback on Wednesday as a thigh muscle complaint ruled him out of a 4-0 Champions League victory over FC Copenhagen . Following the resounding win over the Danish club - in which Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria scored two goals apiece - Ancelotti moved to allay fears over Bale's condition, promising the winger would use the upcoming international break to reach a "good physical condition". But on Thursday morning, Wales manager Chris Coleman called Bale into his squad to face Macedonia and Belgium in World Cup qualifiers on October 11 and 15. Dragons boss Coleman did, however, confirm the player would not actually feature in either game. Ancelotti had told Real's official website: "We are not worried, he has not played because of muscle fatigue and it is nothing special. "...

Watering during dry spells
Yes, it is very dry out there and yes, your plants need water, but so many folks will lose plants because of not knowing how best to water. Over-watering, watering at the wrong time of day (which can cause plant diseases) and not watering thoroughly are all poor watering practices. Watering is an art, and when done well, will help plants thrive and at the same time will preserve this precious resource.
If you have a choice, always water in the early morning as the temperature is on the rise.
When you water, make sure that you water thoroughly and that the water penetrates deep into the soil so the moisture goes down to the roots where it is needed. Thorough watering will encourage roots to grow deep and be less dependent on frequent watering.
Lawns, too, only need to be watered once a week during hot weather, but again, make sure you let the water penetrate down to the roots so they grow deep and the grass becomes more self-sufficient.
Vegetable gardens are the most challenging in the heat. If you always water in the morning and water only the root zones of all your plants, this will go a long ways to prevent diseases like mildew, botrytis and even blight on potatoes and tomatoes.
Planters and baskets offer a different challenge, especially when it's so hot. Water them thoroughly in the morning so they're less stressed during the day. But before you water them again, feel the weight of the basket and make sure it feels light. If it feels heavy, it is already wet enough, and you should wait until it dries out before watering again.
When you water by using a water breaker with at least 400-1000 holes at the end of your hose for the most efficient distribution of water into the soil, and always use a wand so you are not constantly having to bend over. Focus on watering the root systems and try to water in the morning for the most resourceful use of water. Soaker hoses and drip systems are the most effective way to save you time and to use less water.

Less watering may hurt more than help, officials say
One size does not fit all when it comes to water restrictions in Southwest Florida, representatives from local utilities told water managers Wednesday.
The once-per-week water restrictions that helped reduce water usage on the east coast during the summer could have devastating results on the west coast if adopted across South Florida during the dry season, local officials told members of the South Florida Water management District.
Residential demand for water to irrigate lawns on a single day would surpass local utilities' ability to deliver it, said Howard Wegis, staff engineer for Lee County Utilities.
"If we go to one day, it could cause fire protection problems and all sorts of other public safety issues," Wegis said. "One-day-per-week restrictions would put a hardship on our system."
District officials were in Fort Myers to discuss their new Water Shortage Plan. Members of the district will incorporate the local comments into a recommendation for water restrictions, which could include imposing once-per-week irrigation district-wide. The water management district board is scheduled to vote on new restrictions at its meeting next month.
If the district adopts sweeping one-day-per-week restrictions Lee County and other utilities might be forced to seek a variance to split watering among several days per week, said Kurt Harclerode, special operations manager for Lee County Utilities.
Some areas along the Southwest coast may be able to get away with watering a little more because local conditions are not as bad as they are on the east coast.
In Cape Coral, for example, the Mid Hawthorn aquifer is 16 feet above where it was last year at one measuring point and five feet above last year's level at another measuring point.
Still, locals fear the district will draft one sweeping set of restrictions, that lump the west coast with the east coast, where conditions are far more drastic. Lake Okeechobee, a significant water source for parts of the east coast, dropped to a record low over the summer and continues to be several feet below average for the year.
In the past, restrictions were based upon the availability of the water resource, Harclerode said.
"We have areas that are not anywhere as bad as they have been in the past," he said. "What we do on the west coast is not going to affect Lake Okeechobee levels."
Cape Coral, which uses no potable water for irrigation, may also ask for a variance from the district. The city has year-round, twice-per-week water restrictions, some of the stiffest in Southwest Florida. The city doesn't have a problem adopting stiffer rules. In fact, it almost did earlier this year when water levels in the city's canals dropped significantly before summer rains returned them to normal, said George Reilly, the city's utilities manager.
"Our concern in Cape Coral is it's going to be one size fits all," Reilly said. "We think we need to be the ones that manage it because we'll manage it more closely than (the district) will."
If narrowly designed water restrictions keep the Cape from meeting the water demands of its residents, more than $100 million worth of landscaping is at stake, Reilly said.
Water managers should also consider a public safety variance, which would allow people to water their lawns to prevent fires from spreading, said John Wilson, director of Public Safety for Lee County.
But too many variances can be a bad thing.
If every municipality on the west coast asks for a variance, residents and the authorities that must enforce the restrictions could get confused, said Patty DiPiero, spokeswoman for Lee County Utilities.
"The public doesn't have a clue when they are suppose to be watering," DiPiero said. "Every time you do a variance you are creating an ordinance nightmare and the public doesn't know when to water."
But for now, variances are the only way the district has to make exceptions for the rules, said Mark Elsner, director of the implementation division for the district's water supply department.
There are too many utilities to tailor each restriction specifically, Elsner said.
"We're in this for the next six to eight months together," he said. "We need to cooperate and work together to make sure the intent of the water restrictions are met."

Just as a matter of curiosity, if anyone here worked at the top level management for the WWE (both with creative and with the actual business side of things), what would you do differently and why? Personally I would reduce RAW to a two hour show.
You have all been such a great help so far and I really do appreciate it.
You're only looking at it from the creative side. The third hour of Raw brings them enough money to warrant the extra toll it takes creatively. I don't honestly think that the quality of their content would get any better if Raw was shorter. It would just mean we have to waste less time watching it. Its not like Raw is bad because the writers are spending too much time focusing on the low/mid card stories and not enough time on the main event stuff. Raw is bad because creative/Vince are doing a terrible job.
What I would suggest would be to create multiple teams of writers that focus on different segments of the show. You have your main event/top program writers, your low/mid card writers, your divas writers, etc. That way every team has adequate time to focus on their respective stories and aren't all stretched too thin. I would also make sure that each team has a story/character continuity person who keeps track of stories and characters. That way all their stories make logical sense and follow continuity. Same with characters. It would make sure a character never does/say something that doesn't fit. It would just make the show overall more cohesive.

Good hotel, very good breakfast, very helpful staff especially Isabel, always ready to provide good tips about restaurants and places to go. Room quite standard, but clean. We did not use pool or gym facilities.
Spent a week at Mediterraneo Park, Roses, as part of a Treyn holiday. Lovely hotel in a beautiful coastal town. Fairly new hotel I would think and it is about 200m from the seafront. Spacious, clean and tidy room which had a comfy bed, small bath and shower. Our room was on the front side of hotel with a balcony that got the sun all day Good choice of European TV channels in the room and hotel entertainment in the bar some evenings. Outdoor and indoor pools including childrens play area and pool. Bicycle hire from reception. Food outstanding, amazing choice for breakfast and dinner - can't fault the catering so had few meals out. No kettles are provided in the rooms, so bring your own travel kettle and makings if you like a morning cup of tea. The room had a fridge but we had to pay 19 Euro for use of the room safe for a week. One of the better hotels we have stayed in.
We stayed for one week at the beginning of October and were pleasantly surprised. We booked with Travel Republic and you just have to be carefull when booking that you select the 4 star part of the complex and not the 3 star bit (that may of been ok but we did not go in). Our room was on the 4th floor overlooking the pool. The rooms were fairly large and the bathrooms were excellent. The room cleaning was always satisfactory. There is a nice bar to meet up in and the prices are reasonable for a Hotel. The dining room is very large and operates a buffet style self service. We found there to be a good selection of food at breakfast time including pastries, fruit and yogurt as well as full english with a good choice of fresh bread. A smashing start to a day. Dinner was really good value with nice fresh salad always available. There was a varied choice of meat and fish together with various vegetables and a large choice of dessert. There was something to suit all tastes so you need not be anxious about the quality or quantity of food on offer. The beach front is about 400yards away and the centre of Roses is a fifteen minute walk along the delightful promenade. Only bad points were the noisy aircon and the flies around the pool. All in all a splendid choice. Try it next season when it re-opens.
Stayed in this hotel as part of a Treyn trip. Great location near beach and promenade. We were half board which was a result especially as we got wine too. The food at breakfast and dinner time was self service buffet style. It seemed to be freshly cooked and the variety was incredible. Far too much choice which meant we overate for the entire week. Cannot criticise any of it.Room a very good size with large bathroom including bidet and bath with proper height shower over it. Very clean and well maintained throughout.Highly recommended. It is about a two hour drive from Barcelona.
This is ine of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. We came as part of a Treyn Holiday group. The food is excellent, whether it is breakfast or dinner, choices to munerous to mention. Room was excellent, clean tidy and well appointed. Refreshed every day by pleasant and helpful staff.All the staff here are polite, friendly and very helpful.I would have no hesitation in recommending this Hotel to anyone visiting the area of Rosas and the surrounding area.
We stayed here half board for two nights in early October. The room was very clean, good size TV (with BBC 1), hair dryer, small balcony. The dinning room did get very busy, both at breakfast and evening dinner time, but there were enough staff to cope and replenish the buffet food, which was excellent.Pool and gardens with lovely covered beach bar.The hotel is a 15 minute easy stroll from the centre of Roses. It could be very busy in the height of the season with young families, but nevertheless it does seem geared up for it.
We stayed at this hotel in Sept, booked through Treyne Holidays, to be honest we were overwhelmed at the standard of the whole hotel, the buffet was excellent with a tremendous choice of good food (NOT the normal hotel buffet warmed up meals). The rooms were spacious & spotlessly cleaned, Reception and waiters you could not fault, location 5 min's from the sea.Would we go back A definite YES

The Bank of England is in discussions to set up a renminbi-sterling currency swap agreement with the People's Bank of China to spur trade and investment between the two countries.
Mervyn King, governor of the BoE, met Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the PBoC, on a trip to China on Friday. They agreed to try to sign a swap agreement soon, as the UK looks to establish itself as a leading offshore hub for renminbi trading.
Sir Mervyn said it was a "significant milestone" in the dialogue between the two central banks.
"London is growing rapidly as a centre for RMB business. The establishment of a sterling-renminbi swap line will support UK domestic financial stability," he said.
The swap would mean that if there were a shortage of renminbi outside China, the BoE would be able to provide liquidity to UK banks, he said. The renminbi is expected to become one of the world's most commonly traded currencies in the next decade.
The move marks a change of direction for the BoE. Last year, top investment banks in London had asked the BoE to provide a renminbi swap line to shore up confidence among companies and investors who are nervous of trading the renminbi due to liquidity concerns.
The BoE's previous position has been that it would only arrange a swap line if the financial stability of the UK was at threat. But George Osborne, the chancellor, has been vocal about the need to expand business with China.
Mr Osborne said the agreement "cements London as the western hub for the fast-growing renminbi market".
"It is another sign that, in the global race, Britain is seen as open for business by emerging and established markets alike," he said. "We have already seen evidence in 2013 of a significant increase in renminbi trade in London."
The UK Treasury is trying to promote London – already the global centre for currency trading – as an offshore hub for renminbi trades. At the end of last year, China Construction Bank became the first Chinese bank to issue a renminbi-denominated bond – known as a dim sum bond – in London.
Bankers welcomed the news. "This is a positive step forward in eventually rolling out London as a major offshore RMB centre. The push forward to internationalise the RMB is taking a marked leap forward and this is a part of the broader push by China to open its capital account," said analysts at HSBC.

For unforgettable encounters ranging from Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska to Fernando Henrique Cardoso, the Brazilian president who put the B into Brics, visit www.ft.com/lunchbook
China's currency is tightly controlled and cannot be traded freely outside its borders. But it has already set up an estimated 20 swap lines with other countries, including Australia, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia and New Zealand as part of its efforts to internationalise its currency.
Under a swap agreement, central banks agree to exchange each other's currency and can then lend the money to domestic banks to improve liquidity.
The BoE has open swap lines in place with the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank.
London is currently the global centre for foreign currency trading, accounting for 37 per cent of all daily trades, with New York in second place accounting for just 18 per cent of global currency trade.
While Hong Kong remains the centre for trading offshore renminbi, London recently overtook Singapore as the second largest centre, according to Swift, the global payments company.

2006 Mercedes-Benz C280 4MATIC Q&A
2006 Mercedes-Benz C280 4MATIC Question: wheel noise in tight slow turns
The car makes noises similar to a four wheel drive being turn tight on dry payment. The car is a c280 4matic, is this a big problem? - farmedout
Answer 1
Its hard to comment on a noise without being able to hear it. I presume its not a clicking sound due to a worn axle CV joint, or a brake or wheel bearing issue. I am not familiar with Mercedes but I know Honda use a special oil in there 4WD if the wrong oil is used the car "chatter" when taking a turn. Have it checked out, if the differential/transfer box oil hasn't be changed it may be a good idea to change the fluids. - patrick mannion
Answer 2
If the noise is a chattering/vibration from the center of the vehicle, it's most likely a problem with the transfer case. Transfer case issues are a fairly common problem on C and E class vehicles. Some times flushing and changing the fluid can solve the issue but usually the transfer case will need replacement. - JParsons
Answer 3
I have a 2006 C280 and had a similar problem. After flushing and changing the transfer case fluid 3 times they finally changed the transfer case. All is well now. - navyguy1980

My blog has been kind of quiet the last few weeks. I needed a little break after I released the first two volumes of my new book series. I'm happy to be blogging again.
A couple of weeks ago I finished reading a book, Resilience, by Navy Seal Eric Greitens. Eric spoke at the Pritzker Military Museum and Library in Chicago at the end of March, but I was unable to attend his program due to a lecture I was giving. I did order his book as soon as I read the program description. This book isn't the typical military book I usually read. My readings lists are primarily World War II related. But something about this book called out to me and I had to buy it and read it.
The book is basically the edited correspondence from Eric to his friend and former Navy SEAL team member, "Zach," who is struggling with PTSD, and finding a purpose in life after the military. There are pieces of letters or quotes from "Zach" which help put the entire book into perspective. There were many times throughout the book, where I felt a passage was speaking about a friend in my life, or a past situation, and therefore brought even more meaning and understanding to me as I read. I even recommended one friend in particular read the book as it seemed to call out his name at certain times. He started and we have been discussing pieces of it.
In my opinion, this book isn't one to read in one weekend. I picked it up and put it down many times over the course of a few weeks. Each time I read chapters of it, I learned something new about myself, my past struggles, and current life situation. While the book was written after many letters were exchanged by Navy SEAL friends, the strategies in this book speak to the struggles we all face in our lives. Eric offers his friend and the readers, sound advice for looking at our lives, our purposes, discovering and remembering what is most important, and helping us remember why we get out of bed every day.
I think the most important part of this book, for me at this moment in my life, was the chapter on FREEDOM. So many people tell me I need to stop working so hard all the time and find balance. Of course, we all see balance as a seesaw going up and down and never level. Eric doesn't see life-work balance that way. We are never in perfect alignment because something is always calling us or needing our assistance – work, family, friends, community, or ourselves. He said, "Give yourself the freedom to live a life that's balanced – not like a seesaw but like a beautiful work of art." I love that quote. The more I thought about the idea of balance, the more I see it as a circle balanced on a pole – all the pieces of our life connect and sometimes we can't separate work from family or community from ourselves. They all work together in harmony. The chapter ends with this quote:
A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.
I love that quote and feel my life is this way.
If you like to think on the bigger questions in life, where you have come from, where you are now, and where you see yourself going, I encourage you to pick up this book. I believe if I read it again in a month or six months or a year, I will learn new things about myself as I look at my past and experiences. The book is timeless.
Finally, I suggest you find a friend to read the book with and have your own book club discussions about it. By talking about the things you read and thinking about your own life, it can open up a new world of conversation. It is another way to bond with those you care about. I hope you enjoy it.

Every spring, the Forchheimer lobby is host to the annual Medical Students Poster Weeks, where current Einstein medical students display the research they have conducted throughout their time in the program. The kickoff reception was held on March 20, 2012, and the posters will be on display through early May.
Research can be invaluable to the medical student experience, whether it is laboratory-based to provide better understanding of the science that informs clinical practice or community-focused to offer further insight into the patients and communities they will one day be serving. Many Einstein's medical students elect to conduct research in a diverse range of areas that include basic science research, clinical investigations, and community-oriented public health projects, which are detailed in the posters currently hanging in the Forchheimer lobby.
One such research poster, "Partnering for Health Promotion of LGBT Youth of Color at an Urban Community Center," is presented by medical students Chelsea McGuire, Mariya Masyukova, Sanchit Gupta, Anthony Bowen, Christopher Lin-Brande, Desmond Sutton, Sarah Milburn, and Caitlin Schrepel. The poster details the continuing efforts of educational development and employability programs at the local Bronx Community Pride Center, in particular the student-run GED classes.
Commenting on her research experience and the Bronx-community outreach it involved, Ms. McGuire noted, "I was particularly drawn to community-based research because it held the promise of getting out of the classroom or clinic and into a setting where I could interact with others that are part of the Bronx community, not strictly as 'doctor'; and patient."
The research poster session is sponsored by the office of medical education.

Yeah I remember Keith............. A few guys tried to actually CHANGE things for the better and that was promptly SQUASHED by the absurd bureacracy in charge of MMA.............. I'd still love for you to answer my years old question about why it's okay for states to FORCE mma and boxing into these laughable Commission regulations and why INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS sports like High School football, the NFL, rugby and cheerleading (yes, cheerleading) don't have to abide by the ACs. Oh and please explain how that isn't "selective enforcement" while you're at it................ *awaits a wise-ass remark that side-steps the difficult issue I brought up*

mr kizer, your example of 10-8.5 vs 10-8 is a good one that i think the half pt system could be useful. in a three round fight in particular, it is difficult to give a 10-8, but if the looser of the round offered no offense or meaningful defense, but was not beat up, an 8.5 would seem more fair. likewise, if the round is very close, giving the loser a 9.5 appears more fair vs a 9. the judges still need to choose the winner, the half points might make things more fair. didnt K1 in NV use the half points? how do you think that went.thanks for your input. kizer>>>>>profato
7/20/10 1:22 PM by KeithKizer
I think it is something to keep in mind. I am all for giving judges additional tools if those tools are effective. One issue I see is that there are debates at times as to whether a certain round should have been scored 10-9 or 10-8. I can imagine it being even more difficult to differentiate between a 10-8.5 and a 10-8 for a round. I do not think the number of rounds scheduled for a contest or exhibition is at all relevant as each round is supposed to be judged on its own merit.

My Mom used to sing the Pepsi Cola one:
Pepsi Cola

10 full ounces that's a lot
Twice as much for a nickel, too.
Pepsi Cola is the drink for you.
(Not sure about the ounces, might have been five.)
My sister who was born 14 years before me, remembered old time radio in the early fifties. Mom and Dad liked Ma Perkins.
I know time passes between panels and between days. I kept looking for the boxing gloves, lying somewhere. Wally took them off fast. There's no reason Aaron had to draw them. I just kept looking for them. Not for long, though.

Old time radio, such as Gunsmoke and Dragnet ran in the 1950s as well as their TV counterparts. So, Charlie Brown might be tuned into a radio show. I'm not sure what the last one to air was, but it was either Suspense or Johnny Dollar. Before my time, but fun to listen to online.
I sorta figured this out yesterday. Closest I've ever gotten, anyway. :)
Jim does have the hanger wire from the lantern around his arm. Perhaps he will use that to collect/use fire, like an ember bucket. He may be going to the light to get flames to hurl down. I can't recall if Holly's lantern, which Jim has, was flame or battery. If it is flame (or the guts light or candle removed), Jim can cause a lot of hurt from up there.
I took this two ways. The child's vision was considered bad because he couldn't (to the doctor) read the 20/200 E, or that the boys vision was too good (able to see the bee on the pointer) and needed to be equalized to be average. Like the Twilight Zone in which beautiful people needed to be ugly.
It seems Samson has done some screenwriting.
Cats do have collarbones, but they are considered floating because they aren't attached at the shoulders.
I've been to Washington Island. It is a nice place. You can eat fish boil there (fish, potatoes and corn) and ride Icelandic horses. Sievers loom and model railroad benchwork factory is there, too. You can only get there by ferry and there are no one way tickets sold. The Island is cut off by weather in the winter. The beach has thousands of round rocks rather than sand; the rocks are totally smoothed by the waves and currents and was up on the shore. Too many people were taking them, so there is a fine. At the coordinates Annie gave there is an observation tower. Most of the Island is wooded, and the roads only make a crossroad in the center. This Island is off the Door County penninsula. A great place to go.

The Complete Guide To Job Searching: The Resume
Your cover letter will be accompanied by a resume. A good resume will explain why you are qualified for a job, and provide a brief summary of your experience, education and skills. Just as companies use marketing to entice consumers to purchase their products, a good resume is your tool to persuade employers to interview you. This is the desired outcome - to land an interview so that you can show the prospective employer, in person, that you are a perfect fit. Your resume should show your strengths and accomplishments, and mirror the description of the job you want. If the description is "SEO manager," use "SEO manager" in your resume. The employer should not have to guess if you are qualified for the position.
Creating a polished resume, and one that will attract an employer's attention, takes time, effort and (usually) multiple revisions. Keep in mind that a separate resume, catered to each specific position, might be needed for each job for which you are applying. Working on the resume in four steps can be helpful:
You will need to compile information about yourself including your previous positions (including dates of employment), job responsibilities and accomplishments, volunteer work, skills, education and activities/associations. Other personal information will include any licenses or certifications. In most cases, leave out information regarding your health, disability, marital status, age or ethnicity. It is illegal for most employers to inquire about these specifics and it is information you are usually not required to provide.
There are three primary resume formats from which to choose, defined by the way your experience is presented. You should select the format that represents you in the most favorable way:
The chronological resume is the most common, and lists work history starting with the most current and going back in time. For each position, list the title of the position you held, the name of the employer, the dates of employment or number of years working there, and pertinent accomplishments. Three to five statements describing how you excelled at each job is usually adequate, and the resume will look best if each job has a maximum of four lines of text beneath the title. Since a chronological resume focuses on dates and titles, it may not be the best choice to people with inconsistent or very brief work histories.
The functional resume focuses on skills rather than job titles. This format may be ideal for people who have a limited work history, or those who have work experience, though not necessarily in any position that relates to the job being sought. To write a functional resume, identify several skills that are required for the desired position and find examples in your work history to support those skills. A functional resume also includes a brief work history, listing only job titles, firm names and employment years.
Finally, the combination format unites the most favorable aspects of the chronological and functional formats, and features your history and skills. A combination format may start with a chronological listing of work experiences, and then expand each position into skill categories. Conversely, a combination format might be based on the functional format while stating the organization where the skills be utilized.
A resume's style is its appearance: the font, design, length and the paper on which it is printed. First and foremost, the resume should be easy to read and navigate. If the font is too small or if it is disorganized or otherwise unreadable, it will likely end up in the "NO" pile. While it is good to write your resume in such a way that it stands out from the pile of hundreds or even thousands of applicants, you should not try to get noticed by using oddly-colored paper, unusual fonts and lots of graphics. Bullet points help employers scan for important facts, and white space (blank lines between sections) make the document easier to read. Use the same style throughout the resume, aiming for consistency. If one job title appears in italics, all job titles should be formatted the same way, and so forth. This is not only professional, but also make the entire resume easier to read.
In general, recent graduates or people new to the workforce can aim for a one-page resume. People with normal work histories may use two pages, and those with very lengthy or complicated histories may need three pages.
In a tough job market, those who are tasked with combing through piles of resumes may jump at the chance to eliminate one from the stack. Having spelling mistakes and grammatical errors is one way to make sure your resume is forgotten. Once you have your resume completed, it is essential that you proofread the entire document, word by word, since spell check can only go so far to identify mistakes. Keep in mind that even correctly spelled words might be incorrectly used words. For example, know how to use there/they're/their, affect/effect, accept/except, than/then, your/you're, principle/principal, and it's/its. "It's" is only used as a contraction for "it is" or "it has." The possessive pronoun "its" has no apostrophe, as in: "the company and its employees. In addition to looking for spelling and grammatical errors, you should also eliminate any unnecessary words or phrases, sarcasm or negative content.
Fine-Tuning Your Resume
Once you have the basic information, format and style, you can fine-tune your resume so it achieves your goal of getting you an interview. Here are some tips for crafting a compelling resume:
- List the most important facts first (the reader might not read beyond boring or irrelevant information)
- Stick to what is marketable and provides evidence that you are a qualified candidate
- Address the employer's needs - use words that match what the company is looking for
- Use a resume template if you are not sure how to create an effective layout
- Use bullet points so readers can scan for important information
- Use standard margins (avoid shrinking margins so that everything fits on one page)
- Use short, easy-to-read sentences
- Include "white" space on the page: blank lines between sections to make it easier to read
- Use an appropriate number of action verbs to highlight accomplishments
- Use quantitative facts that support your expertise
- Keep the resume to one-two pages unless you have a lengthy and complicated history
- Use a readable and professional font that is large enough to be easily read
- Email yourself a copy, open it and print it out to make sure it formats correctly
- Include your contact information - phone, mailing address and professional email address
- Find and fix any grammatical, spelling and usage errors
- Use unusual paper and fonts
- List references on the resume (they should only be produced if asked for)
- Write in complete sentences (your resume will be too long and the reviewer will be annoyed)
- Include vague claims such as "I exceeded my goal" (quantify the numbers)
- Use too many action words (if everything is crafted around the use of action words, they lose their impact)
- Include an objective statement unless asked for (your cover letter should explain your interest in a particular position)
- Use an unprofessional email address such as "email@example.com" or "firstname.lastname@example.com" (firstname.lastname@example.com is a better choice) Include photographs unless specifically asked for
- Add information that is too personal or irrelevant
- Include links to social media unless is supports your cause (a blog that showcases your writing ability is OK; an invite to your personal Facebook account filled with party photos is not)
- Have any grammatical, spelling and usage errors

Simulus Funded Nevada Geothermal Close To Going Bust
Back on June 26th, Obama cheerleading The Politico was rating "green" companies that received DOE loans, and determined that Nevada Geothermal Power (NGP) as a "mixed bag"
Nevada Geothermal: The company's Blue Mountain project in northern Nevada received a partial loan guarantee for $98.5 million in 2010. The project is already generating power, but production levels have declined because the temperature of the rock formation the company tapped into has fallen unexpectedly. In SEC filings, Nevada Geothermal says it is working to resolve the problem. A pump failure in March was also a financial setback for the plant. In October, The New York Times highlighted the company's financial problems and quoted an auditor's pessimism about Nevada Geothermal's ability to continue operating.
Not much of a mixed bag, but, we all understand that most media outlets work hard to protect Obama. Well, we've moved from "pessimism" to close to shutting down
(Washington Times) A geothermal energy company with a $98.5 million loan guarantee from the Obama administration for an alternative energy project in Nevada – which received hearty endorsements from Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid – faces financial problems, and the company's auditors have questioned whether it can stay in business.
Much like Solyndra LLC, a California solar-panel manufacturer with a $535 million federal loan guarantee that went bankrupt, Nevada Geothermal Power (NGP) has incurred $98 million in net losses over the past several years, has substantial debts and does not generate enough cash from its current operations after debt-service costs, an internal audit said.
"The company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its available cash and its ability to continue to raise funds to support corporate operations and the development of other properties," NGP auditors said in a financial statement for the period ending March 31.
"Consequently, material uncertainties exist which cast significant doubt upon the company's ability to continue as a going concern," the statement said.
If a company that is supposed to provide a service continuously needs outside money other than profits pumped in to keep it afloat, then it's time to just let it go. The DOE loan guarantee served to prop up a previous loan from TCW Asset Management Co., rather than being a loan which could be generously be termed "seed money." The whole "green energy" boondoggle is much like what was happening in the late 1990's right before the big DotCom implosion: companies with no viable product and/or no way to make a profit and operate off those profits were constantly given money by investors to continue operating until the eventual big crash.
This is also the Air America radio model: they saw big outside money pumped in for political purposes, constantly expanding their market to cities around the country, never seeing viable operating cash flow in and always relying on that same outside money, till eventually their broadcasts started being dumped and replaced by programs advising people on how to power wash their decks (which got higher ratings) and going bankrupt in January 2010, ceasing all operations. And it looks like this is the way so many "green energy" companies are going.
NGP said it will hold its annual shareholders meeting July 24 in Vancouver, British Columbia, during which Mr. Fairbank is expected to discuss the firm's debts, a recapitalization plan and steps that have been taken to reduce operating costs, including ending its registration and over-the-counter listings in the United States to eliminate the costs of Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements.
Sounds more like they are attempting to avoid having to show just how bad they're doing.
More: some folks are wondering about donations to Obama from NGP. Well, even though the Nevada office of NGP is a "US wholly-owned subsidiary", the company is actually Canadian, running out of Vancouver. So, with all due respect to Canada, the Obama admin. gave money to a foreign company which created no jobs. But
Since Nevada Geothermal's parent corporation is based in Canada, it would be unusual to see political contributions from the company's executives to American candidates. But the: Center for Responsive Politics also reports that Nevada Geothermal vice president of development and operations Max Walensiak: donated $500 to Harry Reid's successful Senate re-election campaign.
Kai Anderson, a lobbyist for Nevada Geothermal's partner corporation, Ormat Technology, is a former Senate aide to Harry Reid. Ormat's CEO Paul Thomsen is another former Reid aide.
I've tried running the names of NGP's team through Open Secrets, haven't found anything. So, to be fair, it looks like NGP may be part of the 20% of "green" loan recipients who weren't Obama donors.

Ten Questions You're Not Supposed to Ask About Islam
Sometimes, when people get emotional while discussing radical Islam, they tend to paint Muslims with far too broad a brush. There are millions of decent, hard working, patriotic Muslims in this country which explains why, as late as 2000, they were voting 78% Republican.
Unfortunately, we hear from those people far too seldom while the terrorists, radical Islamist shills at CAIR, and the dirtbag building the Ground Zero Mosque seem to grab all the headlines. That makes it easy to forget that there are American Muslims out there loudly and forcefully speaking out against terrorism.
Moreover, across the world, the United States has had traditional alliances with Muslim nations, some of whom have fought side-by-side with our troops. Even in hostile nations like Iran, large numbers of Iranians held spontaneous candlelight vigils to show solidarity with America. To view Muslims like that as our enemy seems rather foolish to me.
Along similar lines, some people on the Right argue that Muslims who don't believe in violence or jihad don't understand their own religion. This doesn't seem to be very…wise or helpful? Obviously, there are hundreds of millions of Muslims who don't believe that their religion is violent. Telling them that if they understood their own religion as well as non-Muslims that they would be murdering us seems like a lose/lose sort of argument to make.
All that being said, because of political correctness and the genuine desire by the American people to be polite and tolerant, a lot of extremely important issues are simply not being discussed — and that's a big problem.
When you refuse to talk about important topics because they make people uncomfortable, animus, distrust, and anxiety inevitably spread. On the other hand, when you have an open and honest dialogue about the real issues people debate privately, you can build comfort and trust and start to reach solutions that would never be possible in an environment where people are attacked and demonized simply for asking basic questions that most people have, but are afraid to speak out about.
So, with that in mind, here are 10 questions you're not supposed to ask about Islam.
1) Why do so few moderate Muslims speak out against Islamic extremism? How can we get more moderate Muslims to speak up and amplify their voices?
2) Of the "moderate Muslims" who have spoken out in favor of moderation or against terrorism, a number of them have later been tied to terrorist groups or have advocated radical policies. This causes a great deal of difficulty for people who want to ally with Muslim groups because the "moderate" they're talking to today may very well make them look bad by advocating radical policies in a month or two. What's the best way to deal with that?
3) Because of the concept of Taqiyya, many non-Muslims believe that Muslims have few qualms about lying to non-believers. Is this a legitimate concern? If not, why not?
4) When it comes to immigration, how does the United States tell the difference between radical Islamists and moderate Muslims? If we can't tell the difference, should that affect our immigration policies?
5) Widely accepted practices in large swathes of the Islamic world — like shariah law, honor killings, and death for apostates — are absolutely, unconditionally incompatible with western civilization. Should we be asking Muslims if they oppose those practices before we allow them to enter our country? Granted, they could lie, but the very fact that we would publicly label those customs as barbaric would send a strong signal.
6) Why does Islam have such "bloody borders?"
7) Much of the Islamic world has an extremely backward attitude toward women. Is this something that goes along with Islam or is it a cultural issue in the nations where Islam happens to have taken root?
8) Why is there so much rabid anti-Semitism in the Muslim world? Pointing to Israel doesn't seem to be much of an answer, given that what Israel does or doesn't do has no impact whatsoever on the day-to-day lives of 98% of the Muslim world.
9) Islam, as it's practiced, SEEMS to be an EXTRAORDINARILY intolerant religion. Yet, non-Muslims are constantly being told we have to be tolerant to Islam. Why should non-Muslims be so tolerant of Islam when that tolerance is not being returned?
10) While there are certainly individual Muslims who seem to fit in very well in western society, Europe has had a great deal of difficulty assimilating Muslims. So, it seems natural to ask: Is Islam on a widespread scale compatible with the freedom, openness, and traditions of western civilization?

The RFP encapsulates issues concerning transfer of technology (ToT), licensed production and lifetime maintenance support for the aircraft.
The first 18 aircraft will be purchased in flyaway condition and the remaining 108 manufactured in the country under a ToT agreement. The RPF says India will have the option to place a follow-on order for over 60 more fighters if required. The aircraft are likely to be in service for over 40 years.
The tender also contains an offset clause under which the foreign vendor will be required to reinvest 50 per cent of the value of the contract in the domestic defence manufacturing sector. The contract could take at least twoand-a-half years to conclude. The first fighters will take at least five to six years to arrive.
A defence ministry spokesman said the proposals from the contenders would be technically evaluated for compliance with IAF's operational requirements and other stipulations in the RFP. Vendors will be shortlisted after extensive field trials. The commercial bids of the vendors will be examined and compared after that.
The IAF has been pushing the government to speed up the procurement of multi-role combat aircraft (MRCA) to replace its ageing fighter fleet. There is also the prospect of losing air superiority over Pakistan. Its request for information for the MRCA deal was issued way back in 2001.
Tiding over depleting force levels is crucial for the IAF its existing 32 fighter squadrons are well below the sanctioned strength of 39-and-a-half. Worse, the squadron strength is projected to plunge to a lowly 27 during the 12th Plan (2012-2017). Pakistan has been striving to attain parity with the IAF with China supplying it the JF-17 fighters and the Americans, the F-16s. By 2011-12, the PAF is projected to operate 26 fighter squadrons.
