well constructed
Solid Performer!9/1/2014
Very sturdy ladder. Easy to use. A little on the heavy side, but I'll always opt for a solidly built ladder.
Going UP!6/6/2014
Excellent design, ease of use, easy to store in tight space. The ladder is very amazingly strong. I can reach spaces safely.

One of the easiest ladder I have used.
Heavy duty ladder4/9/2014
Easy to use. Built sturdy for a big man.
Nice Product3/15/2014
very easy setup. Product is very sturdy and has a little weight to it. Setup in minutes.
Perfect for my application!3/1/2014
Although a little heavier than I'd like is very versatile and easy to use in a wide variety of situations. It stores nicely in my coat closet and is handy to pull out and extend when I need attic access in the closet's ceiling entrty door.
Sturdy and Convenient11/7/2013
This ladder feels sturdy, as you climb it. It folds up small enough to fit in the trunk or back seat of a car. It opens easily, but you have to unlock each rung, independently, to close it. It would be nice if the rungs would lock closed, as well, to make it easier to move it when it isn't fully extended. It is heavier than I had hoped, but manageable. I would recommend it to others.

Pryal: A Manifesto for the Freelance Academic
Katie Rose Guest Pryal, Clinical Assistant Professor of Law at UNC-Chapel Hill, has written "A Manifesto for the Freelance Academic" at Vitae. The subtitle is "Five principles to guide you in a career without a university employer." At universities today, an increasingly large percentage of classes are taught by adjunct or untenured professors, and this trend is not likely to change soon -- Professor Pryal says as much in her essay.
Pryal's SSRN page is here and her webpage is here. As To Kill A Mockingbird remains among my favorite novels, I look forward to reading this essay soon.

Strippers Are 'Employees' Under Nevada Wage Law
Sometimes you cannot make these cases up. Dancers who perform at a Nevada strip club are employees, not independent contractors, and therefore are covered by the state's minimum wage law, the Nevada Supreme Court rules in a unanimous opinion (Terry v. Sapphire/Sapphire Gentlemen's Club, Nev., No. 59214, 10/30/14).
A copy of this decision can be found on the Nevada Supreme Court's web site, here. In a 20 page decision, the Court applies the economic realities test that is also applied in FLSA cases.

Effective Plea Bargains for Noncitizens
I have posted Effective Plea Bargains for Noncitizens on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
In Padilla v. Kentucky, the United States Supreme Court held that the Sixth Amendment requires criminal defense attorneys to advise non-citizen clients regarding the deportation risks associated with a guilty plea. The Court held in that case that a defendant's guilty plea may be involuntarily made when defense counsel fails to advise the client about those deportation risks. Trial judges accepting guilty pleas from criminal defendants have a duty to confirm the defendant makes the plea voluntarily and intelligently. Judges make this determination through the plea colloquy -- a series of admonishments and questions with the pleading defendant done prior to accepting the plea. Padilla at a minimum requires trial judges to inquire whether or not the defendant is a non-citizen, and if so, whether the defendant has received the correct advice regarding the guilty plea's immigration consequences. The judge's failure to do so may result in a conviction tainted by ineffective assistance or supported by a plea not voluntarily and intelligently made.
This Article suggests trial judges should take affirmative steps prior to accepting a non-citizen's plea to reveal whether counsel has provided relevant and correct immigration advice to the defendant. Part I discusses Padilla's facts, rationale and holding, Part II discusses the requirement for a voluntary and intelligently made guilty plea in modern plea bargain jurisprudence and Part III discusses the process for obtaining post-conviction relief for Sixth Amendment violations under Strickland v. Washington's ineffective assistance standard. Part IV closes by discussing best practices for trial judges and counsel to safeguard a non-citizen's rights while developing a record that anticipates post-conviction Sixth Amendment claims.
I presented this paper at an immigration law symposium hosted by The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice in April. The students and faculty hosting the event were top notch and I appreciated greatly the chance to meet and work with them all.

Lander on Adjuncts
David Lander, an adjunct professor at St. Louis, is guest-blogging at The Faculty Lounge. So far he has posted, in order of publication:
- Impacts of recent developments on the use of adjuncts
- How many adjuncts and what courses should they or should they not teach?
- Maximizing the benefits of adjuncts
I have two initial responses:
Lander writes in the first post, "And if a school is looking for a quick way to cut a few thousand dollars from its expense budget, reduction in the number of adjuncts may seem a handy way to find that reduction while asking "underutilized" tenured faculty to teach the courses the adjuncts had been teaching."
This is true, but aren't greater saving realized by not hiring a tenure track professor and using two adjuncts to teach elective classes otherwise being taught by full-time staff, leaving required and bar classes for the the full-timers? At many adjunct pay scales, this approach would hold greater appeal to the bottom line.
Lander writes in his second post, "One very important concern is the effect of the dependence on adjuncts on scholarship and publications. Although many adjuncts do write articles, nearly all of the true legal scholarship is done by full-time faculty and very little is done by adjuncts. This lack of scholarship has many negative implications...Research and publications will suffer in any area where full time faculty is replaced by adjuncts. Areas which make major use of adjuncts such as trial practice, bankruptcy, and sports and entertainment law have probably reached a tipping point where the amount and quality of research is significantly affected by the mix of adjuncts and full-time faculty working in these fields."
I would certainly agree that in the law school arena adjuncts on the whole are less productive scholars than are full-time professors on the whole, if journal articles and books measure "true legal scholarship." The question, though, is this: How many fully tenured professors are no longer productive scholars (and here)? It seems unfair to criticize adjuncts for not contributing scholarship when tenured professors - those best situated to make scholarly contributions - do not themselves write.
I am looking forward to more from Mr. Lander during his time at The Faculty Lounge.

NYS Dep't. of Labor applies right to control test to determine employee status
Dunno v. Commissioner of Labor, ___A.D.3d___(3d Dep't. Sept. 25, 2014), is an interesting case. The court held that a security guard was an employee and not an independent contractor. The court applied the common law right to control test, reasoning:
In making such a determination, the Board considers whether the putative employer exercised control over the [*2]results produced or the means used to achieve those results, with the means being the more important consideration (see Matter of McCollum [Fire Is. Union Free School Dist.—Commissioner of Labor], 118 AD3d 1203, 1204 [2014]; Matter of Joyce [Coface N. Am. Ins. Co.—Commissioner of Labor], 116 AD3d 1132, 1134 [2014]). Here, the testimony of both claimant and Anthony Stone, the principal of ASISS, established that claimant completed an application for employment and was hired at a rate of pay established exclusively by Stone. ASISS assigned claimant to a specific location, established his hours of work and covered him under its workers' compensation insurance. Furthermore, it provided him with an employee code of conduct and required him to call in to an automated system at the beginning and end of each shift, to sign a time sheet and to submit incident reports. The client was not informed that claimant was an independent contractor, claimant was required to request time off two weeks in advance and ASISS would find a replacement if claimant was unavailable for his shift. Claimant was required to adhere to the company dress code by wearing a dark suit and tie, as well as a company lapel pin, while on duty. Furthermore, any complaints about claimant's performance would be handled by ASISS and claimant would receive his pay even if the client did not pay ASISS. Accordingly, while there was other evidence in the record suggestive of an independent contractor relationship, we find that substantial evidence supports the Board's determination that claimant was an employee (see Matter of Anwer [Exclusive Fragrance & Cosmetics, Inc.—Commissioner of Labor], 114 AD3d 1114, 1115 [2014]; Matter of Lamar [Eden Tech., Inc.—Commissioner of Labor], 109 AD3d 1038, 1039 [2013]).
This decision is highlighted because it illustrates some of the factors courts examine in determining employee status. However, the decision is not particularly well written because it merely stated that other evidence in the record supported the opposite conclusion (that the individuals were independent contractors) and the court did not weigh this evidence.

What Do Education Lawyers Do?
The National School Board's Association has a web page dedicated to careers in Education Law which readers may find of interest, here. They describe what school board lawyers do in part, as follows:
Advisers Guiding School Boards on Legal Matters
School lawyers are employed by school boards to represent their school districts in legal matters. These lawyers need to wear many hats. Their job duties include offering advice on legal and policy matters, researching legal issues, and representing the school district in litigation matters.
Why do school districts need lawyers?
School boards and district staff must deal with legal issues daily. A school board attorney helps district officials to follow the web of state and federal regulations affecting schools, and to avoid costly litigation. When litigation is necessary, a school attorney advocates for the school board before courts and administrative bodies. - See more at: https://www.nsba.org/services/council-school-attorneys-cosa/what-school-lawyers-do#sthash.lcA6RFaf.dpuf

Call For Papers
The Journal of Law and Health's Annual Symposium at Cleveland Marshall Law School has issued a call for papers which provides in part:
You are invited to submit an Article for possible inclusion in the Journal of Law & Health's Annual Symposium: The Social, Ethical, and Legal Consequences of Sports-Related Brain Injuries. The Journal of Law & Health is a student-run publication dedicated to publishing innovative articles that offer diverse perspectives on the intersection between law, health, and medicine.
The selection of the Symposium topic was a result of the myriad of new research on the prevalence of traumatic brain injuries in sports and the long-term health consequences that result from head injuries. Further, high profile legal disputes, such as the NFL's $765 million settlement with retired players, has thrust the discussion of brain injuries in sports into the legal arena as well. The Symposium aims to facilitate a well-rounded discussion between, judges, legislators, academics, and medical professional on the social, ethical, and legal issues that may occur as more research becomes available on brain injuries in sports.

BA in Law
The University of Arizona has become the first college in the nation to offer a BA in law. A Findlaw article about the program, which still requires the student to attend law school if they want to be a lawyer, is available here. A press release from the school is available here.
Personally, I think it is a good idea. It may give a student some idea whether they really would like to become a lawyer. I also think that legal concepts are important in a whole host of fields where people work with lawyers as clients. I am thinking of accountants, insurance agents, real estate brokers and even labor relations professionals.

Randall, A Reasonable Penalty Under The Circumstances
Harvey Randall just updated his wonderful treatise on NYS Public Employee Discipline entitled "A Reasonable Penalty Under The Circumstances." We reviewed this book before and it just gets better and better. Every lawyer who practices in this area should have a copy of this book on his or her desk.
The publishers description is as follows:
A Reasonable Disciplinary Penalty Under the Circumstances is a 442-page volume focusing on determining an appropriate disciplinary penalty to be imposed on an employee in instances where the employee has been found guilty of misconduct or incompetence. It is available in two formats - as a large, paperback print edition, and as an ebook (PDF).
Offenses considered in the book run from A [Abandoning a post without authorization] to Z [Zero drug tolerance policy violation].
The material in the was developed specifically for use by administrators, union officials, attorneys, arbitrators and others engaged in disciplinary actions involving public officers and employees serving with New York State as the employer and employees of its political subdivisions pursuant to the State's Civil Service Law, its Education Law, contract disciplinary grievance procedures negotiated pursuant to Article 14 of the Civil Service Law [the Taylor Law] and other relevant statutes, rules and regulations.
It is also a valuable resource for those involved in disciplinary actions involving public officers and employees serving with other jurisdictions.
It can be purchased here. A free excerpt from the book can be found here.

Instructor at Yoga School Is An Employee
Matter of Yoga Vida v. Commissioner of Labor, ___A.D. 3d___(3d Dep't. July 31, 2014), is an interesting case. In the context of Unemployment, the court had to decide whether a Yoga instructor was an employee. In concluding that she was, the court applied the right to control test and reasoned:
Classes were held in Yoga Vida's studios and students were solicited by the company. [*2]Yoga Vida published class schedules on its website and set the duration of each class. Instructors were compensated by check according to a negotiated rate, with some instructors preferring a set rate for each class and others electing to take a percentage of the fees that were collected from students who attended classes. Patton averred that the instructors were an integral part of Yoga Vida's business (see Matter of Professional Career Ctr., Inc. [Commissioner of Labor], 105 AD3d 1219, 1220 [2013]), and he personally ensured that they were properly certified and had adequate training and expertise to conduct classes. While Yoga Vida disputed that it supervised the instructors, Patton conceded that he would personally address instructors regarding their manner of instruction if it posed a risk of injury to the students or if they were otherwise engaged in conduct that he found objectionable. Overall, despite the existence of evidence that could result in a contrary result, the record contains substantial evidence to support the Board's decision that Yoga Vida had sufficient control over the instructors' work, thereby allowing for a finding of an employer-employee relationship (see Matter of Anwer [Exclusive Fragrance & Cosmetics, Inc.—Commissioner of Labor], 114 AD3d at 1115; Matter of Human Performance, Inc. [Commissioner of Labor], 28 AD3d 971, 972 [2006]; Matter of Fitness Plus [Commissioner of Labor], 293 AD2d 909, 910 [2002])

Nick Gordon Rumors
Twins Sign Nick Gordon
3:00pm: Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets that Gordon also receives scholarship money, which takes the deal's value to roughly $4MM, though the scholarship's value doesn't count against the Twins' bonus pool.
1:31pm: Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports (via Twitter) that Gordon signed for the slot value of $3.851MM.
1:21pm: The Twins announced, via press release, that they have agreed to terms with fifth overall pick Nick Gordon. The highly touted Gordon will head to Fort Myers, Fla. to participate in Twins mini-camp before joining the Rookie-level Elizabethton Twins in the Appalachian League. That season begins on June 19.
Gordon, a high school shortstop out of Florida, is the son of longtime Major League closer Tom Gordon and the brother of current Dodgers second baseman Dee Gordon. He ranked fourth among draft prospects per ESPN's Keith Law, fifth according to MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis, and sixth according to Baseball America.
Scouts have praised Gordon's speed, arm and glove as his best tools, noting that he's a very good bet to remain at shortstop in pro ball. That doesn't mean that he's an all-glove prospect, however, as his bat has drawn high praise as well. Law noted that Gordon has "surprising power given his small frame; largely thanks to very strong wrists and above-average bat speed." Mayo and Callis touched on Gordon's ability to use the entire field at the plate, while BA called him an above-average hitter with doubles power that many scouts feel will grow into average home run power as he learns to pull the ball. MLBTR's Zach Links spoke with Gordon prior to the draft as part of MLBTR's Draft Prospect Q&A series.
Gordon was committed to Florida State, though the expectation was that he would sign out of the draft. He is the third consecutive Top 5 pick that the struggling Twins have had; Minnesota selected No. 1 overall prospect Byron Buxton with the second pick in the 2012 draft and picked right-hander Kohl Stewart with the No. 4 overall selection in last year's draft. Gordon is represented by the Beverly Hills Sports Council.

Draft Prospect Q&A: Nick Gordon
MLBTR is re-launching its Draft Prospect Q&A series this season in order to give our readers a look at some of the top names on the board in this year's draft. MLBTR will be chatting with some of the draft's most well-regarded prospects over the next couple of weeks as they prepare for the 2014 draft on June 5-7.
Florida's Nick Gordon is universally regarded as the best shortstop in the 2014 draft and, according to some, is the best position player prospect in the draft. With a pedigree like his, it's no surprise. Gordon is the son of three-time All-Star right-hander Tom "Flash" Gordon and the younger brother of Dodgers second baseman Dee Gordon. While his father made his mark in the game and Dee continues to see his star rise, all signs point to Nick making a terrific legacy of his own in the years to come.
At 6'2″, 170, Gordon exhibits tremendous speed both on defense and around the base paths. Of course, he also boasts a terrific arm for the shortstop position and, in fact, many believe that he could pursue pitching if he wanted to. At the plate, the Olympia High School star projects to be an above-average hitter, but his intangibles and makeup have scouts drooling just as much as his physical tools.
In 27 games last season, Gordon, reportedly being advised by Beverly Hills Sports Council, which also represented father Tom "Flash" Gordon and represents brother Dee, posted an absurd slash line of .494/.576/.843 in 99 plate appearances and stole 13 bases. The youngster has had the attention of college scouts and pro scouts alike for years, but his senior season helped to boost his stock even further.
Gordon, ranked as the fourth-best prospect in the draft by ESPN.com's Keith Law, No. 5 by MLB.com, and No. 7 by Baseball America, spoke with MLBTradeRumors late last week about the draft process, the possibility of going No. 1 overall, and what he's learned from watching his father and brother:

Draft Links: Astros, Gordon, Howard, Top 5
Brady Aiken and Carlos Rodon have been mentioned the most frequently as potential options for the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, but CBS Sports' Jon Heyman expands on a rumor that has been picking up steam that could have the Astros cutting a deal with high school shortstop Nick Gordon (brother of Dee Gordon and son of Tom Gordon) in order to spend more heavily elsewhere. Heyman notes that it could very well be just a rumor, but it's "stirring intrigue in baseball circles." It wouldn't be the first time that Houston cut a deal at 1-1, as just two years ago they elected to select Carlos Correa in order to later sign Lance McCullers Jr. and Rio Ruiz to over-slot deals. One agent tells Heyman that he thinks Houston will look to cut a deal, with a second agent telling him the Astros are "all about the deal" and rival executives expressing that they simply can't even guess what the Astros and GM Jeff Luhnow will do.
Here are several more draft-related links with the draft less than one week away…
- ESPN's Keith Law tweets that he didn't buy the Gordon/Astros rumor when he first heard it, and he's still not a believer.
- Scout.com's Kiley McDaniel tweets that the Gordon rumor is still alive and adds another to the mix, noting that the Blue Jays could reach and select Virginia righty Nick Howard as high as No. 11, while several other teams in the teens are kicking the tires on Howard. That would be quite the reach in comparison to the rankings of Howard by MLB.com (No. 75) and Law (No. 59). Baseball America is more bullish on Howard, ranking him 25th among draft prospects.
- Law appeared with ESPN's Buster Olney on today's Baseball Tonight Podcast to discuss a host of draft-related topics (Law appears from the 23:00 mark to the 45:00 mark). Law began by sharing a great deal from his experience with the Blue Jays' front office, including the inner workings of a draft room, the unheralded successes of some area scouts and the change in decision-making processes as the draft progresses into the later rounds.
- Law also broke down the top of his most recent mock draft. In discussing the No. 5 pick (he has Gordon going to the Twins), he notes that Minnesota seems to be down to Gordon or LSU right-hander Aaron Nola. Law adds that he was on-hand for Nola's most recent SEC start and saw executives from teams "from No. 2 on down," including Marlins GM Dan Jennings, White Sox VP Kenny Williams and Cubs GM Jed Hoyer. Law says the Twins have been targeting Gordon "all spring."
- Law feels that if Aiken, Rodon and Kolek are all off the board, the Cubs will cut a deal at No. 4 and turn around to "crush pitching" with their next several picks. He currently has them selecting Oregon State outfielder Michael Conforto, who brings an element of plate discipline that their current top prospects lack. He adds that he could also see them cutting a deal with Nola, though he sees Nola as more of a mid-rotation starter (that could be in the bigs in a year's time) than an ace.
- The White Sox selection of Kolek is "the lock" of the top five picks, says Law. He also adds that Marlins ownership has pushed strongly for Rodon due to his proximity to the Majors and marketability as a Cuban-American left-hander. Law calls his slider the best overall pitch in the draft. (Note that these bullets are a very brief summary, and those with heavy interest in the MLB draft will consider the Olney/Law segment time well spent upon listening to it in its entirety.)

You are a God! You are master and ruler of a loyal nation. You have unimaginable powers at your disposal. You have claimed this world as yours. But there are others who stand in your way. You must defeat and destroy these pretenders. Only then can you ascend to godhood and become the new Pantokrator. When you start the game you decide what kind of god you are and how your DOMINION affects your lands and followers. It is an expression of your divine might and the faith of your followers. If your dominion dies, so do you. Your dominion also inspires your sacred warriors and gives them powers derived from your dominion. In order to win and become the one true god you have to defeat your enemies one of three different ways: conquer their lands, extinguish their dominion or claim the Thrones of Ascension.

From one of the preview videos, I have paused on the nation selection screen and here's the complete list for Middle Era :
Arcoscephale, The Old Kingdom
As Far as I know :
If someone see a preview from another era, please feel free to post the complete list of the era nations in this thread. ^_^

Berytos, Phoenix Empire; Machaka, Lion Kings; Pelagia, Pearl Kings; and Urd, the First City; are new in the EA.
Lemuria is new in the LA, and it supposedly corresponds to Spirit Gate Ermor of Dominions 2 which focuses on different types of spirits and ghosts instead of the longdead of classical Ashen Empire Ermor.
There isn't any great and meaningful in-game detail to be had about the nations yet, but Berytos is allegedly inspired by Phoenecians and has a lot of sailing, Pelagia was split from Oceania and also exists in MA as Triton Kings, and that Urd is based on early Sumerian history and myth and inhabited by Enkidians who are a race of giants.

Some new factions do not have descriptions, I've skipped those.
|Jul 28 2013, 7:36pm Anchor
Pelagia can convert water gems into pearls, cool way to give it a boost without gem generators... and Berytos seems to be very interesting. It is probably going to be the first new nation I learn.

Seems that EA will be Elephant galore with the new armies of Berytos and Machaka relying on them too.

Machaka has elephants yes, but it's not exactly the first thing I'd pick with them. Rely would not be my word of choice for their use for either nation.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Alex Brownsell, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 16 July 2012 10:56AM
The bank, which was fined £290m for trying to fix inter-bank lending rate Libor, last week pulled all ads amid a review of its marketing strategy in the wake of the crisis.
This weekend it rolled out a one-off print ad in the form of a letter from group chairman Marcus Agius, stating that Barclays was "truly sorry" for those who had been "let down" by the bank's actions.
Agius, who is also to step down as a result of the scandal, promises that staff "will not allow [themselves] to be distracted from what really matters – delivering for you, day in, day out".
He adds: "My colleagues work tirelessly to do just that. The Board and I thank them for their commitment and for their determination to ensure customers and clients are at the heart of everything we do. I also thank you for your business. It is our responsibility to earn the right to retain it."
The letter will be posted on Barclays' Facebook and Twitter pages, and sent out to customers by mail. It will also be available for consumers to pick up in bank branches.
A Barclays spokesman said its regular advertising plans remain under review. The bank has previously stated it aims to be "returning to a business-as-usual approach soon".
Barclays last week revealed a £120m, three-season deal to extend its sponsorship of the Premier League.Follow @alex_brownsell

There's not a whole lot of interest in this fight, and that's why there's not a terrific amount of money. I've known guys who fought for 700,000 and 5 years later they were fighting for 5,000. It's a shame, but you still have to pay the bills even if you lost 5 in a row … I remember a fan yelling at a losing fighter, "Get a day job." The boxer stopped and walked over to him, "I'm a cop punk, what do you do? Nothing? I thought so."Posted August 29, 2012 4:35 pm

C'monnn?!? is this matchup really necessary? Rubio should begin targeting some of Martinez's previous opponents (Macklin, Barker, Dzinziruk). or how bout Lee? Hell(?!), even Cintron or Fredo are more credible placeholder matchups than poor older and smaller Baldomir.Posted August 28, 2012 7:04 pm

Refrigeration mechanics work in a variety of facilities to repair, install, inspect, and maintain air conditioning and refrigeration appliances. These appliances may include exhaust systems, kitchen and food storage equipment, commercial grade washers and dryers, and heating systems. The day-to-day duties of refrigeration mechanics include checking for leaks in gas and refrigeration appliances, ensuring the movement and lubrication of bearings, and inspecting the condition of belts involved in appliances' motors. They assist other mechanics in their organization with electrical work, refrigeration and cooling unit installation, inspection and maintenance of gas lines and valves, and plumbing. Additionally, refrigeration mechanics are in charge of checking all electrical equipment to identify problems in control mechanisms, circuits, breakers, and valves. Depending on seniority, they may also supervise and train other mechanics. Most refrigeration mechanic positions are full time and may include benefits such as vacation and sick leave, paid holidays, and health benefits.Read More...
Refrigeration mechanic positions typically require experience in refrigeration and HVAC. A previous journeyman or apprentice position may be required, and at least three years of experience is typically preferred. Good customer service skills may be necessary if the mechanic interacts with clients. Proficient written and verbal communication skills are needed to effectively report, document, and inform supervisors of appliances' condition. Refrigeration mechanics must be able to understand product manuals, blueprints, diagrams, and schematics as well.
Refrigeration Mechanics typically list a handful of skills they use on the job. Most notably, skills in Equipment Maintenance, Systems Troubleshooting, System Repair, and Commercial are correlated to pay that is above average. Commercial and System Repair, on the other hand, are typically associated with much lower pay.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Refrigeration Mechanics, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $39K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $47K. For Refrigeration Mechanics, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $52K. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $53K.

text: Super Orgasm is described as a "peachy pink with gold glitter." It's a medium, warm-toned pink with gold glitter. It had semi-opaque color coverage, noticeably adding color and glitter to lips but the natural lip color still came through. It wore well for four hours. I noticed the texture of the glitter throughout the wear. NARS Belize (P, $26.00) is lighter, less shimmery. Urban Decay Flushed (P, $19.00) is less shimmery, less glossy. Milani Sweet Grapefruit (09) (P, $5.49) is less shimmery, darker. Paul and Joe Beaute Carnaval (06) (P, $29.00) is less shimmery. Maybelline Captivating Carnation (080) (P, $8.99) is slightly cooler-toned, less shimmery. MAC Meteoric (LE, $20.00) is darker, warmer. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Smoked Wild Salmon Mousse Canapés on Baguette Crostini
Yield: 16 canapés
These ingredients are:
Peanut-free Soy-free Tree nut-free
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened Add to list
- 4 to 6 ounces smoked salmon, coarsely chopped Add to list
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice Add to list
- Hot sauce or horseradish, to taste Add to list
- 16 slices baguette, about 1/4-inch thick Add to list
- Olive oil, for brushing Add to list
- Sprigs of winter herbs such as thyme tips, rosemary tips or oregano Add to list
- Small slices of oil-cured tomatoes Add to list
Additional garnish ideas
- Chives (snipped or cut into 1-inch pieces) Add to list
- Strips or diamonds of red bell pepper Add to list
- Quartered cucumber slices Add to list
- Capers Add to list
- Bay shrimp Add to list
- Chopped Kalamata olives Add to list
- Slices of radish Add to list
Combine cream cheese, salmon, lemon juice and hot sauce or horseradish in a food processor and blend until smooth. Mousse may be made and refrigerated up to 1 day in advance. If you do make this mixture ahead of time, allow it to soften before piping.
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Brush baguette slices with a little olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Toast for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly crunchy on the outside.
You may spread the mousse on each crostini with a short knife, or fit a pastry bag with a star tip and fill the bag about half full with the mousse. Pipe a rosette in the center of each crostini and garnish each with a sprig of herb and a slice of tomato (or your favorite garnish). Refill the bag as needed with mousse, pressing the new addition down towards the tip of the bag with a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent air pockets.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 9/28/12
Before his first game as Indians interim manager, Sandy Alomar Jr. thanked the man he replaced. In praising Manny Acta for helping him grow into a candidate for the permanent position as manager after the season, Alomar adhered to his personal philosophy: Put others first. That's just one reasons the Indians asked Alomar to move up from bench coach to replace Acta, fired on Thursday. Alomar took over as manager Friday for the final six games and will interview for the full-time job. General manager Chris Antonetti said Alomar and former Boston manager Terry Francona are on his search list and others currently employed by teams likely will be added.

Study reveals a clue to an important common pathway in neurobiology.
Researchers and physicians at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia will apply sophisticated technology and methodology in molecular biology and genomics to help better understand the basis for preterm birth and eventually diminish the leading cause of newborn death in the U.S.
A quality improvement project at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia used simple strategies and cues for families and clinicians to ensure that pediatric patients with cancer did not leave outpatient clinics or inpatient units without a flu shot.
Over the course of a three-year project, a study team hopes to determine whether guidelines that both involve a narrative component and give clinicians a voice have any effect on antipsychotic prescribing habits.

In basketball terms, Pennsylvania and Michigan are home to two of the top American cities.
Philadelphia and Detroit both have storied hoops histories. So who's better? That's what we here at ESPN RISE wanted to know, as we pitted the Great Lake and Keystone states in the first round of the Great State Debate.

Suspects In Hougom Shooting Will Get Separate Trials
Just one person shot and killed Sara Hougom at her La Crosse apartment this year...but two men have claimed responsibility.
Partly because of those dueling confessions, Pao Vue and Kong Vue will get separate trials in La Crosse County court. The two are suspected of murdering Hougom during a burglary attempt at a Division Street apartment building. Kong Vue's attorney, Mark Lawton, says an alleged confession by the other suspect would make it hard for the two to be tried together. Kong Vue is already scheduled to be tried in late August. No date has been set for a Pao Vue trial.
