Thanks, Mal--I'll check those sites out.
I'm a total newcomer when it comes to MMORPG's. This would be my first. That's one of the reasons I'm really looking forward to playing it.
I mean, I've sat down and watched my buddy play WoW before, but this would be the first time I've played anything myself of this genre.
Sounds like the Sorcerer would be the way to go for me. On Oblivion I'm always the magician.
Didn't you say you were running it on Vista? I know you have the 32-bit version, but performance between yours and mine has been very similar on most games so far. I think I'll give it a try on Vista either tomorrow or Sunday. I have a precal test on Monday though, so I might not be able to get to it until then.

Say I have a low contrast scene where the shadow value falls on zone III and highlight on zone VI which I'd like to be zone VII in the final print. What differences in a final print would I see if I printed a neg with a range from zone III to VI (given N development) printing the highlight up to zone VII using a higher contrast filter vs. giving that negative N+1 development to bring it up to zone VII and printing with a normal contrast filter?
My experiences have been that a lower contrast negative printed using a higher contrast filter gives more pleasing mid-tones, and highlights with more contrast than printing a neg given N+1 assuming there is adequate shadow detail. N+1 negs seem to have the mid-tones pulled up in value as well.
Anyone have thoughts, suggestions on this?

text: GPS Dongle for your ASUS Transformer Prime now Available Stormy Beach 16 April, 2012 1 Comment Gotta hand it to ASUS. No matter what the issue is with their products, they seem to always find a solution that works for their customers. Be it a timely software update to solve issues or a hardware add-on, they make it happen. One of the more constant complaints for many Transformer Prime owners was the lack of a stable GPS connection. After figuring out what caused it, it was determined to be a hardware issue and not something they could solve via a software update. Instead of just ignoring the issue and the complaints, ASUS did something about it. They created a snazzy dongle for your device that any Prime owner can obtain free of charge. While some may think that this is not the most optimal solution, it is the best one available. After seeing a few images of the dongle, I was happy to see how they designed it. It still isn't the prettiest of additions, but for those of you that rely on a stable GPS connection in your life, it is now available. To get your hands on the item, you will want to head to ASUS Extension Application page. Fill out all the pertinent information and you should be good to go. Maybe the next tablet edition will have a slightly better design that won't require hardware additions. Source: ASUS via AndroidPolice

This application is a continuation-in-part of copending application Ser. No. 614,332, filed Sept. 17, 1975 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,060,711. The present invention pertains to devices for permitting the reencoding of magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) information. More specifically, the invention pertains to a device for carrying a document that has been mutilated or erroneously encoded, and for providing a predetermined area for the receipt of correctly encoded MICR information.
Data processing systems may be utilized through the expediency of numerous types of input/output equipment; the basic purpose of such equipment is to place the information to be provided to the data processor in an appropriate form for machine reading. The source documents containing the information to be supplied to the data processing system may be encoded in machine readable form so that automatic reading equipment can sense the information, translate the information into appropriate electrical form for utilization by the processor. One such document encoding system used by many organizations, most notably banks, is the magnetic coding of information on the document. For example, checks have been essentially standardized in size and format so that they may be processed utilizing automatic reading and sorting equipment. To this end, checks have been standardized incorporating a "clear band" extending along the bottom of the check in which certain information is placed in machine readable form.
The information placed in the clear band is standardized and referred to as MICR characters. These characters appear on the bottom of the check as printed numbers and symbols which have been printed in an ink containing magnetizable particles therein; when the information contained on the document is to be "read", the document is passed through a sorter/reader which first magnetizes the magnetizable particles and then detects the magnetic field of the symbols resulting from the magnetic retentivity of the ink. The characters and symbols placed in the clear band are generally segregated into three separate fields. The first of these fields ("transit field") will contain the appropriate symbols and characters to identify a bank, bank branch, etc. The second field ("on us field") will contain the account number affected by the transaction. These first two fields will typically be "pre-encoded"; that is, they will be placed on the check before the bank sends the check to the customer for his use.
The third field ("amount field") obviously cannot be pre-encoded since the amount for which the check is drawn will not be known until it is used. Accordingly, after the check has been presented to the bank for payment and is to be processed through its various data processing systems, the amount of the check must be encoded at the appropriate location on the clear band prior to the introduction of the document to a sorter/reader. This latter step in the encoding of a check is commonly referred to as "post encoding" and is typically accomplished with special encoding machines having a keyboard operated by an individual who observes the amount of the check and encodes the amount in MICR characters in the amount field of the clear band.
Since post encoding is performed by human operators, it is not uncommon for errors to occur and for the wrong amount to be post encoded in the clear band. There are several techniques presently in use for correcting the problems caused by such erroneous encoding. One such technique is the utilization of an envelope in which the erroneously encoded document or check is placed; the correct MICR coding is then post-printed along the bottom of the envelope and the envelope is thereafter processed with the erroneously encoded document being carried thereby through the processing equipment. These techniques are also used when the document is mutilated and cannot be handled by the automatic equipment. Similarly, certain conditions may present themselves with respect to a document such that new or additional encoded information is required; these types of documents, known in the banking industry as "exception items", lend themselves to the use of carrier envelopes.
Prior art devices for carrying erroneously encoded documents such as checks and exception items usually take the form of envelopes and have several disadvantages. Since the erroneously encoded MICR characters must be supported sufficiently above the lower edge of the carrier so that the reading equipment will not be affected by the MICR characters on the document, prior art carriers are constructed having a pocket that supports the document substantially above the lower edge of the envelope; further, the envelope extends downwardly from the pocket to provide a new "clear band" which is used to receive correctly encoded MICR characters. The envelope thus encoded, with the document therein, is then processed in the document handling machinery. Since the machinery, such as a sorter/reader, may handle documents at a rate of 3,000 documents or more per minute, the acceleration and deceleration imparted to the envelopes create significant problems. For example, the envelopes characteristically have one open end or an open top to permit the document to be inserted; during the processing the documents sometimes "fly" out of the envelopes.
When the envelopes with the documents therein are accelerated through contact therewith by a belt or rotating drum, air pockets created within the envelope can sometimes cause wrinkling or tearing of the envelope with a resulting jam in the document handling equipment. When the envelopes are sorted by the equipment into "bins", they are subjected to violent deceleration forces which sometimes cause "fliers" and damage to the envelopes. Further, the forces applied to the envelopes tend to cause the front face of the envelope to slide longitudinally relative to the back face, thus creating wrinkles that get caught and tend to jam the document handling equipment.
Documents such as checks are typically photographed on microfilm to provide a permanent record for the bank prior to returning the check to the customer. The check is preferably microfilmed on both sides although in extenuating circumstances (such as when some prior art carrier envelopes are utilized), the bank will be satisfied with microfilming only the front face of the check. To facilitate the rapid and automatic microfilming of the checks, the envelopes should at least be translucent. That is, they should permit identification of the information on the front of a check without having to remove the check from the envelope. To meet this requirement, prior art carrier envelopes sometimes resort to a clear plastic front surface on the envelope; unfortunately, the clear plastic materials cannot receive and support all of the magnetic inks used for encoding; thus, the front surfaces of these prior art carrier envelopes must include a back surface that extends below the clear plastic front surface to receive the encoding magnetic ink. Utilization of the clear plastic also presents another problem: unless the plastic is so thick as to be economically unfeasible, it is not sufficiently stiff to withstand the longitudinal accelerations imparted the envelope during processing. Therefore, the back surface of such envelopes is usually formed from a relatively heavy paper. However, the paper is opaque and will not permit microfilming of the back of the check. Also, some documents go through an optical character recognition device which uses a heat-producing, quartz-iodide lamp that causes differential expansion and contraction of the clear plastic top material resulting in buckled or warped carriers that can possibly jam automatic equipment.
The several requirements of a document carrier in the environment of automatic handling and processing machinery, namely, the necessity to see through the carrier for microfilming, the requirement of a suitable surface for receiving and supporting all magnetic inks, sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand document handling acceleration and sufficient toughness to prevent ripped seams when encountering separating mechanisms, together with the necessity of avoiding wrinkles, air pockets and "fliers" have militated against the complete acceptance of prior art document carriers.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a document carrier that will receive and support a document during document processing.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a document carrier that will support a document during automatic processing while permitting both the front and rear faces of the document to be microfilmed without the removal of the document from the carrier.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a document carrier for receiving and supporting a document which provides an ink-receiving surface that will properly receive and support all magnetic inks.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a document carrier for receiving and supporting a document having sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the accelerations and decelerations imparted thereto by automatic processing equipment without permitting "fliers" or mutilating wrinkles or air pockets to occur.
These and other advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art as the description thereof proceeds.
Briefly, in accordance with the embodiment chosen for illustration, a document carrier is formed from a flat sheet of translucent material such as parchment. The sheet is perforated along a fold line so that it may be folded to approximately one-half its original area. One surface of the sheet is coated with a cohesive material as more clearly defined herein. The opposite surface of the sheet is printed along at least one edge thereof with a filler material to form a clear band for the receipt of magnetic inks in the form of MICR characters. An erroneously encoded document is placed on the cohesive side of the sheet and is generally centered on half of the sheet. The sheet is then folded along the fold line with the cohesive surfaces of the two halves of the sheets coming into contact with the exception of that portion covered by the document. The document is thus enclosed in the carrier and contacted on its front and back surfaces by the cohesive material to restrain its movement in the carrier. The parchment is translucent, thus permitting microfilming of both sides of the check while a clear band is provided by the filler printed or otherwise coated along one edge of the carrier.
The present invention may more readily be described by reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a document carrier constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention showing an erroneously encoded document or check placed thereon.
FIG. 2 is a drawing of the document carrier of FIG. 1 shown in its folded condition enclosing the erroneously encoded document and showing re-encoding post-printed MICR characters along the clear band thereof.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 2 taken along line 3--3.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken along line 4--4.
Referring now to the drawings, the document carrier 10 is shown therein formed from a substantially rectangular sheet 11 of transparent or translucent material. While certain clear plastic materials may be used, the thickness required to provide the necessary rigidity usually militates against its use. I have found that a translucent paper material such as parchment provides satisfactory strength as well as the necessary translucency to permit the viewing of the front and back surfaces of the document to be carried. The parchment used is commercial grade, acid-dipped parchment containing no filler and is not coated. I have found the thickness of the parchment to be preferably 2.5 mils. The sheet 11 is scored or perforated along a fold line 13 to permit the sheet to be folded in half parallel to its longer dimension to form top 12 and bottom 14 halves as shown.
The sheet 11 is coated on one surface thereof, as indicated in FIG. 1, with a cohesive material 15. The term cohesive as used herein refers to that type of a coating which is uniquely adhesive unto itself and not adhesive to other types of surfaces. Cohesives are sometimes used in sealing the edges of pieces of paper wherein the cohesive surface will not adhere to another part of the paper but instead will adhere to a correspondingly cohesively coated portion.
The cohesive material utilized in the structure of the present invention is readily commercially available and is applied to the paper in liquid form through the use of a roller. The technique used is well known and need not be discussed here. Basically, the cohesive material is made from a rubber-based compound mixed with a solvent which, when applied in liquid form, subsequently dries with the evaporation of a portion of the solvent leaving a surface exhibiting a substantially increased coefficient of friction but which nevertheless will not adhere to other surfaces except to a correspondingly cohesively coated surface.
The thickness of the cohesive coating is not critical and need be only thick enough to provide the cohesive action; very thick layers of cohesive material are to be avoided since they may reduce the translucency of the resulting layered structure. I have found that an approximate thickness of 0.0003 inches performs satisfactorily in the carrier of the present invention.
As mentioned previously, the sheet 11 is formed from an unfilled parchment which provides sufficient strength and rigidity as well as translucency; however, parchment (as well as most clear plastic materials) does not readily receive all magnetic inks. Magnetic ink used for printing MICR characters is usually printed on the receiving surface through the utilization of transfer tapes. Different tapes from the various manufacturers thereof exhibit different characteristics. It is important that the resulting MICR characters have sharply defined edges and be free of voids. Banking industry standards require that the MICR characters have no voids therein greater than a 10 mil square. These stringent requirements, as stated previously, render unfilled parchment surfaces unsuitable. Accordingly, the surface opposite the cohesive coating 15 is provided with a border of a filler 17 to provide a MICR ink receiving surface. While the addition of fillers to the parchment will generally destroy its translucency, the border upon which the filler is placed surrounds the document and does not interfere with the view of the document.
The filler used in the document of the present invention is a commonly used filler of one of a variety of fillers available in the paper industry. Fillers may comprise starch, titanium powder, clay powder, resins, aquapell, and in this particular instance, the powder is a silica powder that is mixed with a carrier such as printers ink and applied to the document using a flexographic printing process.
The carrier of the filler may be colorless or may be a commercially available printing ink (assuming, of course, that the printing ink does not contain any magnetizable material that would interfere with the magnetizing and reading of the MICR characters). I have found that additional advantages may be obtained by using a colored ink as the carrier for the filler as will be explained more fully hereinafter. The thickness of the filler is not particularly important and simply mixing the filler with the ink and applying the ink in the above-mentioned commercial printing process is more than adequate.
The front surface of an erroneously encoded document 19 is shown and includes a transit field 20, an "on us" field 21 and an amount field 25. The fields 20 and 21 are pre-printed on the check but the amount field 25 is post-encoded. It may be noted that the check was drawn for the amount of $12.34 whereas the amount field 25 was erroneously encoded as $12.35. Document 19 is thus erroneously encoded and the document carrier of the present invention is utilized to correct this error and transport the check during automatic document handling procedures. The document or check 19 is positioned as shown in FIG. 1 and may be generally centered on the lower one-half of the sheet 11. The document or check 19 must be positioned above the portion 23 of the border 17 formed along the bottom edge of the sheet 11 since the border will form a clear band for the receipt of the re-encoded information. The positioning of the document or check 19 is not critical and need not be precisely placed; that is, it may be shifted longitudinally or may be moved up or down and may even be placed at an angle with respect to the sheet as long as the check does not intrude on the portion 23 of the border 17.
The sheet 11 is then folded along the fold line 13 and the cohesive coating 15 of the upper and lower halves of the sheet 11 come into contact with each other on three sides of document 19. It is important to note that the cohesive coating 15 of the upper and lower halves also come into contact with a substantial portion of the document 19; that is, in the embodiment chosen for illustration, the lower half 18 of the document 19 is firmly gripped by contact with the cohesively coated upper and lower halves of the folded sheet. The entire document is totally enclosed since the upper edge 24 of the carrier has been formed by folding the sheet 11 along its fold line 13 which in turn forms a closed top for the carrier. The document 19 is thus prevented from moving longitudinally in the carrier and, as a result of the significantly increased coefficient of friction of the cohesive material in contact with the front and rear face of the document 19 along its lower half, the document is prevented from sliding in any direction within the carrier. Since the higher coefficient of friction prevents relative sliding motion between the surface of the document and the carrier, the possibility of wrinkles or other surface deformation of the carrier during processing is prevented.
The portion 23 of the border 17 along the bottom edge of the sheet 11 forms a clear band having an exposed surface of magnetic ink-receiving filler. Fields 20 and 21 may be re-encoded in the clear band as shown in FIG. 2. However, the amount field 25 that was erroneously encoded on the document 19 is replaced on the carrier with a properly encoded amount field 25. The carrier 10, with the document 19 enclosed therein, may now be processed in the document handling equipment.
The area of the document 19 contacted by the cohesive material may vary; for example, while the embodiment chosen for illustration suggests that approximately one half of the document be contacted by the cohesive surfaces on the sheet 11, the area may be increased or reduced provided relative slippage between the surface of the document 19 and the sheet 11, or relative slippage between the opposed uncoated carrier surfaces, does not permit wrinkling resulting in jamming of the sorter/reader equipment.
As mentioned previously, the border 17 was printed with a colored ink containing a filler; while the coloration of the ink is not required for the clear band portion 23 of the border, it is convenient to print the entire border in one step using a pigmented or colored ink. The border, thus colored along the leading or trailing edges 27 of the carrier 10, provides an appropriate media for the detection of the leading edge of the carrier as it passes through the document handling equipment. That is, many document handlers incorporate optical detection techniques for triggering electrical circuits used in the reading/sorting process. The pigmented or colored ink along the edges 27 enable the document carrier 10 to positively trigger such optical detectors; further, colored ink along the portion 23 (or clear band) may also be used to trigger optical sensors in the reading equipment to indicate that the carrier is not skewed with respect to the read heads of the equipment.
A corner 29 of the sheet 11 may be trimmed at any angle as shown in FIG. 1. The corner, thus trimmed, facilitates the separation of the two halves of the sheet 11 cohesively in contact with each other to thereby enable the removal of the document 19 therefrom.
The document carrier of the present invention may be constructed using two separate sheets of cohesively coated translucent material. For example, instead of folding the sheet 11 along a fold line, two sheets corresponding to the two halves of the sheet 11 may each be cohesively coated and may be positioned beneath and on top of the document 19 as shown in FIG. 2. However, if two separate sheets are to be used, provision must be made to seal the top edge formed by placing one sheet on another. While the embodiment chosen for illustration is preferable in most circumstances, the use of separate sheets lends itself to automated handling of the document carrier during the placement of the document in the carrier.
In use, when a magnetically encoded document such as a check is erroneously encoded, the document is placed on the cohesively coated sheet 11 in a manner described above. The sheet is then folded along the fold line 13 to enclose the document to expose a clear band having a magnetic ink-receiving, filler-coated surface. The document carrier with the erroneously encoded document therein is subsequently correctly re-encoded and the combined document and carrier processed in the document handling equipment. The leading edge of the carrier properly trips the optical sensors of the equipment while the translucency of the parchment permits microfilming of both sides of the document or check. The check is firmly held in place in the carrier and is not permitted to separate therefrom during the automatic processing of the carrier. When the carrier encloses a document, the cohesively bonded, double-layered parchment provides structural rigidity to withstand the acceleration and deceleration encountered in modern document handling equipment. After processing, and if desired, the document may be removed from the document carrier by separating the cohesively adhering layers of parchment; however, the document cannot be removed except by the deliberate action of a person desiring to retrieve the document from the carrier.

Ants and bugs generally creep me out, but I have respect for the resourcefulness. If someone could create packaging with ant exo-skeleton properties, it would be really useful, not to mention, probably make them a lot of money.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Australian law firm Allens has appointed partner Nic Tole–a resources specialist–to lead its energy and resources practice across Asia as it builds on a recent alliance with Linklaters.
Mr. Tole, whose clients here included iron-ore giant Rio Tinto, will move from to Hong Kong from Perth in October.
He will also take a senior leadership role in a pan-Asian joint venture with Linklaters, announced in April. The two firms plan to build a team of up to 30 partners and 60 lawyers, mostly based in Asia. They'll work on energy and resources deals across the Asia-Pacific region, including emerging resources hot spots like Indonesia, Mongolia, Myanmar and Laos.
Move over King & Wood Mallesons and Ashurst Australia, there's another Aussie law firm in town that has connected with a global player with a view to capturing the Asian market.
Australia's Allens Arthur Robinson and U.K. "Magic Circle" firm Linklaters Monday announced an alliance which will see both firms establish an Asian joint venture and share resources elsewhere in the world.

What kind of pain are you in because of repeated patterns and scenarios in your life? Do you keep finding unhealthy or abusive relationships? Do you struggle with addictions? Or maybe your are afraid of what will happen to your children as they grow up-do you feel guilty for what is happening in their lives? I hear you. I have lived this way and my biography is a testament to how the trials and tribulations of all my challenging life experiences... Full Bio
I hear you. I have lived this way and my biography is a testament to how the trials and tribulations of all my challenging life experiences have given me the tools I need to be an effective personal development life coach of YOU University. I realized this once I started working on my own emotions and feelings with my coach and mentor, , the founder of .
I was born into a family with alcohol and addiction issues on both sides. I grew up viewing drinking as a normal part of daily life and saw no harm in indulging to the point of excess myself. Having a predisposition to addiction, I fell in love with self-medicating and quickly becoming an addict.
Also, as a small child I was sexualized and molested. The immature coping skills I learned in order to survive this part of my life coupled with addiction became a toxic combination. This led to many troublesome and challenging situations as well as unhealthy relationships.
I was born to be persistent and never gave up searching, whether was conscious or subconscious, for a peaceful life instead of one filled with constant turmoil. The journey for a meaningful life purpose took many years and included experiences that I know are valuable knowledge for transformational learning.
I looked for love from the wrong people and attracted men who needed to be taken care of and dominate me. I allowed myself to be violated and taken advantage of. I ended up in drug and alcohol treatment programs as well as domestic violence classes. It wasn't until I realized that I was the person in control of my destiny, that I began to see to it that I could ensure it to be positive.
With this new plan in place, I choose to be the single parent of three dynamic kids. They are perfect reflections of me.
Their collaborative learning from me is the most important job I have in life. I am currently enrolled in YOU University. As I reinvent myself, I am learning that I am highly intuitive and posses a keen awareness of people's feelings. I am open and honest when I connect with people and love the collaboration that happens in life coaching. I find joy in rapidly evolving. I am excited to be pursuing my passion and to have realized my purpose in life.
My whole life I have been training for this career in transformational learning, even when I didn't know it. I am right where I need to be, doing exactly what I am good at. I can't wait to connect with you and share my fearless zest for life.

majic13's sketchbook
Hey hey howdy. I've been lurking the forums for a while, soaking my brain in the massive amount of talent around the place and generally working on getting inspired. What follows is a bunch of pages from my sketchbook. Pencil and ink for the most part, with a few coloured pencil bits mixed in.
I got a Chinese calligraphy set for Christmas, with the ink stick and brushes and everything. Spent a while playing around with it, and this is the result.
I'm pretty new to inking stuff, normally working in digital format and thus relying heavily on the safety net of ctrl-z. This is a foray into the scary world of real ink, where if you get it wrong you're stuck with it. Dip-pen and black ink. Crosshatching makes me crazy.
Further updates as I fill up the pages.

More sketchbook nonsense. It's been a while since I posted here, much to my shame.
Attempt at mi-go technology, specifically brain-cylinder sensory attachments based on descriptions in HP Lovecraft's The Whisperer in Darkness. Clunky 1920s-style tech on the left, weirdo alien Mi-go technology on the right.
Playing around with brush-tip pen. Fungoid lifeforms indigenous to Yuggoth.
Yet more Mythos stuff - this time a Hound of Tindalos.
More Hound sketches. And a, uh, a puppy of Tindalos also.

A bunch of marginally more polished stuff here.
Genesis 1:31.
One day the little mi-go took Timmy in his brain-cylinder to sit and look at the distant yellow star that shone its pallid light upon Yuggoth. Around the star travelled a tiny little blue speck, minute and insignificant in the infinite void.
"Home... home... home..." said Timmy in his funny, crackly voice. "...I want to go home..."
The little mi-go, carrying Timmy in his brain cylinder, flew past the silent city of green pyramids. The city was unspeakably ancient, the last remnant of a civilisation that had flourished and vanished long before the Mi-go first came to Yuggoth. Constructed according to strange geometries, the pyramids' polished flanks reflected constellations unknown in Yuggoth's skies.
The little mi-go kept well clear of the cyclopean city, for there are places on Yuggoth where even Mi-go dare not venture.

While the Puget Sound region is thriving, the prosperity generated by our vibrant economy is not shared by all. Our historically robust middle class is steadily shrinking, as income is increasingly concentrated among the wealthy.
Expert panelists and regional leaders from local government, business and labor sectors will identify specific ways we can blend our social equity and economic growth goals for our region, including steps by local government and voluntary actions businesses in our community can take to materially benefit their employees and the workers of the businesses they sub-contract with.
In advance of the event, we encourage you to give some thought to the determinants of equityand what your organization or business can do to help make this region known not just for its innovation and prosperity, but its inclusiveness and opportunities for all residents to succeed. Below you will find additional information to further understand the scope of the issue and the potential resources that can be leveraged to help close the income gap in our region. Let's work together as a community to reduce this gap!
Income inequality is a growing issue which—for many complex reasons—has worsened significantly in recent years. Below are resources we recommend for learning more about this problem and potential solutions.
The Self Sufficiency Calculator for Washington State
This calculator provides a variety of resources, including the Self Sufficiency Standard, which measures how much income is needed for a family of a given composition – ranging from a one person household to a large family – in a given place, to adequately meet its basic needs without any public or private assistance.
Using the Calculator you can look at your overall budget, see the Self Sufficiency Standard cost-of-living approximation for your family type, and learn about resources that can assist you in planning and making progress toward economic Self Sufficiency.
The Self-Sufficiency Standard for Washington State 2014
The Self-Sufficiency Standard for Washington State 2014 provides an updated look at the data used to calculate how much income a family must earn to meet basic needs, with the amount varying by family composition and where they live.

For more than 29 years, Pamela has been a leading member in the city of Seattle and Greater Puget Sound Region. She is a tireless advocate for equality and social justice, building community partnerships and strengthening community engagement. In 1982, she began a career with the City of Seattle that would span 30 years.

Over 60 representatives from regional technology companies, K-12 and higher Eeucation institutions and government leaders gathered at Northeastern's Seattlegraduate campus last week to brainstorm actions that be taken collectively to better meet the region and state need for workers skilled in computer science.
The Washington Technology Industry Association (WTIA) and its Workforce Development Committee, chaired by Northeastern University Dean Tayloe Washburn, hosted the event. The meeting started with a dramatic demonstration of a code-teaching robot named NAO, an innovative medium that is now being used in approximately 1,200 K-12 schools and universities around the world. We then heard an update on the WTIA's active role in developing tools to help small and medium technology companies adopt internship or co-op programs as a time-tested recruiting technique. Community college leaders in attendance also outlined the two federal Department of Labor grants they have submitted. Organizations like the WTIA,AT&T, Impinj and Tableau Software are each integrally involved in these grant applications, and have committed to help the colleges develop curriculum aligned to industry needs and also help teach the courses. If these grants are awarded, it will significantly boost the computer science capacity of community colleges across the state.
The bulk of the meeting was devoted to reviewing a draft Computer Science Shortage Strategic Plan which has been spearheaded by Washington State House Education Committee leaders, Rep. Drew Hanson and Rep. Chad Magendanz.The plan is designed to direct new state investments in computer science in the most effective manner. The specific programs identified would:
1) help increase the role of computer science courses in K-12
2) increase the computer science degree production from higher education institutions
3) improve and increase the numbers of professionals trained to teach computer science.
This summit attracted top computer science leaders from the Washington Roundtable's Partnership for Learning, Project Lead the Way, Ada Academy, Washington STEM, the University of Washington Seattle and Bothell campuses, Washington State University, City University and representatives of Microsoft, F5 and other technology companies.
The state legislators collected specific feedback from these stakeholders on all elements of the draft Strategic Plan, and will return with new drafts prior to putting forward specific bills to the Washington State Legislature in 2015. Contact our Dean, Tayloe Washburn, if you would like to participate in the Workforce Development Committee or be kept abreast of its work.

As the veteran services specialist at Northeastern University, I'm honored to serve our veterans and servicemembers on campus by helping them navigate the services we offer. I know first-hand the challenges of separating from the military, looking for employment, finding a place to live, and starting school after years away from the classroom. I'm proud to say that when I was finally ready to start again, I attended Northeastern's College of Professional Studies to earn my bachelor's degree.
It's no secret that Northeastern University puts significant emphasis on career development for our students. Being prepared for and savvy about professional life after graduation is a core key to success for students across all industries. Through our renowned Co-Op program, Northeastern's relationship with over 3,000 companies world-wide means a sure connection for students when they need it most.

SEATTLE — Across the street from Amazon headquarters, flanked by a prestigious biology institute on one side and a Filipino-Vietnamese food truck on the other, sitsa storefront in a booming biotech enclave of the city. The space is decked in red and white, with modernist lounge chairs and molecule-shaped sculptures suspended from the ceiling.

Northeastern University-Seattle and Seattle Works have partnered to offer scholarship opportunities to Seattle Works volunteer leaders and leadership training graduates in a variety of graduate programs at Northeastern's College of Professional Studies. A kick off party to commemorate this partnership was held on March 6th where attendees learned about both organizations and what this partnership now offers.
Eligible Seattle Works members will receive a scholarship covering 10 percent of the tuition for Northeastern University—Seattle's online and hybrid career-focused graduate degree programs in areas including corporate and organizational communication, digital media, global studies and international relations, the doctor of law and policy, nonprofit management, project management, and many others. Scholarship recipients will also receive a number of benefits including access to speaker and learning series.
For the past 25 years, Seattle Works has connected thousands of individual and team volunteers to a wide variety of public service projects and provided leadership training in nonprofit management and related areas. It has managed volunteer projects for such companies as Microsoft, Accenture, Starbucks, Jet Blue and UPS, among many others.
"Seattle Works volunteers aim to strengthen their communities and themselves. Pursuing graduate study at a first-class organization like Northeastern University—Seattle is a natural next step in growing as a professional and as a community leader," says Tara Smith, executive director of Seattle Works.
"Seattle Works and Northeastern are a natural fit, as we both offer programs and opportunities to help young professionals create and translate knowledge to meet global and societal needs," says Tayloe Washburn, founding Dean and CEO of Northeastern—Seattle. "By partnering together, we can help strengthen our region even more effectively."

Northeastern University- Seattle hosted a game design workshop where Professor Jay Laird directed a packed room through game design exercises and the Masters in Digital Media offered by Northeastern. Each group was tasked with developing their own games complete with rules and modes of play. The night was fun and full of laughs as each group creatively worked through the assigned tasks all the while learning what it means to be a game designer.
Professor Laird also touched upon the GAMES initiative and how Northeastern University- Seattle is breaking ground in video games designed for social change. The GAMES initiative focuses on getting and keeping middle school aged girls interested in STEM fields and topics through the use of targeted video games.
Below is a video of the work Northeastern students have done and a taste of what a Northeastern education can yield in the field of game design.

Puget Sound Business Journal, February 24, 2014
The U.S. needs 144,000 new computer science workers each year but graduates only 15,500 students with computer science degrees, according to Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith. This skills gap is one of the biggest challenges facing our region. In Seattle, there are thousands of open positions at Microsoft, Amazon and smaller companies, while half of millennials are unemployed or underemployed, and older job seekers struggle to find work.

I don't mind losing or getting beat but I've coached football as well as wrestling and never have I seen Defensive holding on a lineman on 3rd and 9 . San Diego got 3 first downs on penalties in that last drive -But the one that hurt was defensive holding against an offensive line man ? NEVER saw that before .
they're finally coming alive. musta been saving it up for the run to the playoffs
How about that Colt defense ? When 98 and 93 get rolling it spells trouble .
Nope -left on a cart -we are now starting hagler in his place -this is a man who let his wife beat him up then called the police on her -THAT is our new starting lmiddle linebacker -www.indystar.com-I repeat -the man let his wife slap him around and then called the police .
Ah, don't tell me that. I'm playing with the Colts defense this weekend in my fantasy league. Hopefully, someone just kicked him in the shin.
Man-Brackett is hurt -he is our defense -the captain and it's soul-calls all the allignments -the paper won't say how bad it is but sounds like he broke his Tibia-they keep saying Tibia injury -well, hell-you can fracture or break the damn thing -not much else . Luckily we are playing cinncinati then Detroit-hopefully he'll be back by then .But I doubt it cause they signed some LB from someone's practice squad .
He got knocked on his ass -Foster-got back up and threw the Pittsburgh running back back 2 yards -they settled for a field goal which let Peyton get back on the field and do his thing -never heard 60,000 people get so quiet so quickly -Dungy started Foster and some Behemoth they picked up on waivers -6'6''315-#99-Mannings legacy wil never be fully appreciated because the running game has always sucked and the Colts depend so much on Peyton -even with James , the only yards he ever got were off the stretch play when everyone had to play the pass-check out what he has done in Arizona.
Bracket - 58 - has been playing for the Colts for quite some time now. Yea, he's small as MLBs go but he was the starting MLB for the Super Bowl Champs. Eric Foster was one of my favorites at Rutgers. He was the key to their 10-2 season, an absolute blizzard on the D Line. He was the motivator for the defensive unit.
Thanks to Rutgers for #68 for the Colts -he may have saved their season with a monster hit on a goal line stand sunday against Pittsburgh -I think his name is foster -#58 would be a great linebacker if he were 20 pounds heavier -Brackett's tough , just a little small.
MLB, NBA, NFL NHL count all revenue, not just gate revenue. Congress allowed an exempion for the national sports leagues in the interest of the entertainment value.
I am a fairly intelligent human being but I do not understand the anti-trust laws in baseball-would you be so kind as to break it down for me-the base math says -even with TV revenue -payroll cannot be met by fan atendance etc.-is it legal ?
I was wondering if you might tell me where you found that photo of Austria ? You posted it under Where,with whom , Why-I love the Mountains -in collegeI spent part of a summer framing Condos in Breckinridge before I couldn't stand tearing up nature anymore -those condos were the ones used in that kidie porn ring busted not long ago-Seems everything I touch turns to shxx-the Sodom touch rather than Midas .
I'll recheck. If true, this is threat to scare off enlistments.
name's Navario, Jose Luis .-Being charged under Miltery Extraterritorial Jurisdictionary Act'' -this Act was put in place in 2000-Calley ,as I understand -or remember-was a hero amongst his troops -he did face a military tribunal-but this guy is facing the death penalty under Civilian jurisdiction -I think it sucks .
Calley was a military conviction not a civil one that you are alluding to. No, I didn't find any news of this.
RYou -did you ever find that Marine I was talking about ? This could set a really ugly precedent . I left his name and stuff on a post under yours on that thread -I think Calley -sp-should not have been court martialled -These kids get sent to bumfuck egypt and don't know the language or even the rules of engagement -if there were any in 'Nam-same here -you see a mutilated thing that used to be part of your platoon and -quite rightly -want to do what you were trained to do .
Nice video -it worked on youtube but not on TWT -i'd tell Schlotke but he'd worry himself to death over it -thanks
Don't what's up. It still works on the tube. Here's the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgDufa8NdH8
Sorry to bother you but I was curious as to what was on the Isaac Hayes video -it says ''Sorry ,this video is no longer available when i try to play it .

New to the area. Figured, WTH..
This is the hard part. I moved to the area about a year ago now and still have a lot of exploring to do. I work in sales and my job tends to be very demanding at times, so I thought I'd give this online thing a shot. I don't do the club scene much anymore, but do enjoy a beer, martini or scotch at different venues depending on the day. I look forward to meeting someone that I can go out and discover new things with as well as come home to on those tough work days.

Wow… I assumed that people were not very smart, such as people on the show that makes me feel bad that I live in New Jersey and am part of the same species-"The Jersey Shore." I was dying to know if my assumption was correct. It turns out I was, in a sense. Millions of years in the future there might be a bigger difference.
*If you are wondering how long it took me to write this, it did not take too long considering I let my feelings of "The Jersey Shore," out.

Approaching two months since the birth of little George, Prince William is fully embracing the Dad Life, as the Palace has announced today that William will be leaving the military after more than seven years of service. William will now "focus on his royal duties and charity work together with his wife," as the pair are set to move in to their digs in Kensington Palace within the next few weeks. The Palace's statement said William will be working in the "field of conservation," as well as with "charities on issues relating to children and young people, veterans and serving members of the Armed Forces." The Ministry of Defense said that his last shift as a search-and-rescue pilot took place on Tuesday.
This upcoming year, though, will be a "transition" one for William, the palace said, as he will not necessarily "carry out his royal duties full time." Somehow we can't see William spending his days catching up onBreaking Bad and idly Facebook-ing, so we hope we'll still get to see him out and about frequently despite this apparent scaling back.
William and Kate also have hired a nanny to help them out at home: rather than putting up a posting on Craigslist to find one, the couple chose a nanny they were already intimately familiar with: Jessie Webb, who actually was hired by Prince Charles and Princess Diana to take care of William and Harry some twenty years ago. Webb has much experience in Royal Nannying, as she also previously cared for William's cousin, Viscount Linley.

What is Vitacost Superior Silver?
Vitacost Superior Silver is a liquid supplement featuring a patented form of silver shown to be more stable and bioavailable than other forms.
Unlike colloidal silver or ionic silver, Vitacost Superior Silver contains micro-particles of silver uniquely "coated" with silver oxide. Considered "supercharged," these coated silver particles are attracted to surrounding water molecules, making them part of the structure of water. The result is a silver solution with greater stability and bioavailabilty than other ionic silver preparations.
Why choose Vitacost Superior Silver?

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 12/19/12
Titans WR Kendall Wright likely won't be playing Sunday, according to Jim Wyatt. Titans HC Mike Munchak updated Wright's status, saying that the receiver is "sore" from his rib injury and that the pass catcher isn't expected to play Sunday. The Titans have to face a tough Packers team that has a solid secondary, so the team will have trouble getting many big plays over the top without the threat of Wright on the outside. The post Titans WR Kendall Wright Not Expected to Play Sunday appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors.

I should know this stuff being a police officer and a CPST lol, but I'm just asking for reassurance.
A friend of mine was driving yesterday and slid on a patch of ice. Her car bumped the curb pretty good and 2 wheels briefly came off the ground. She said it landed pretty hard. Her daughter was in a Graco Snug Ride, which was bounced around during this. The baby (2 months) woke up crying. She asked me if she should replace the seat. I know Graco wants to replace after any crash. But was this really a crash? She said the tires may be slightly wonky, but her dad's a mechanic and will fix whatever is wrong. She's not reporting it to her insurance. I told her that if her gut says to replace it, then do it. The seat did its job by keeping her baby safe. She does have a relative who will give her a nearly new infant seat if she needs a new one.
