Where should I be working?
I'm currently working at an Australian government department, but I don't see my long term future in the job I'm in, and I am not convinced that another job in the same, or even a different department, would suit me any better. So, what are some good uses for the following set of skills / experience? [more inside]

Civil Service eligibility list
My friend had an oral board examination for a civil servant position on her city. At the end of the interview she inquired about the rest of the hiring process and was told that was it; that from the group of examined candidates they will chose the person. [more inside]
Reprimanded at work how to keep my job and my dignity?
Having trouble sublimating myself when I feel attacked at every turn and attitude is given but when I defend myself I'm seen as a bitch. I'm not a bitch but also not willing to be thrown under the bus constantly. Long. [more inside]
Leaving My Job - How do I navigate resigning?
This is the first job I'll be leaving because it's just time for me to move on. Previously, I've left because I was moving or school was starting up again. This time, I don't have that to fall back on. I want to put in my notice tomorrow - Help! [more inside]
Job Reference Screw Up
You are always supposed to ask someone if they will provide you with a positive job reference. I did not do that with any of the references I listed on a job application. I just went on an interview and I think they will be calling my references soon. I realize now that this is a major faux pas. Is there anything I can do at this point to save this situation?

Mefibrarians! I'm a librarian mom re-entering workforce! Please hope me!
So, I got my MSI from Michigan in 2005. (Bachelor's in English). I worked for 2 years, but then my daughter came along and I've been a full-time parent ever since. I've wanted to go back this past year, but re-entering the workforce has been really difficult! Should I be networking? Having informational interviews? What else? Is it too late to go back?

Hypochondriacal and Neurotic Thinking = missed Work. Your Tips Wanted!
I was physically ill as a child, in the hospital more than school, and through young adult years as well. Mom was/is classic hypochondriac. As an adult for the last 20 years and in my early 40s, I have let it hurt my work record and advancement. [more inside]
How do I email my job references
My academic and professional references have asked me to keep them informed of what jobs I'm applying to, both so that they have a heads-up, and so that they can let me know if they've been called. I haven't been very good at doing this consistently because I don't know how to phrase that email. [more inside]

Tell me about a time when you...
I'm preparing for several interviews and I want to figure out a way to finally effectively answer the ONE question that has always been interview-kryptonite to me, which has always been a a variant of: "Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with my coworker and how you resolved it." [more inside]
New "dream" job is anything but. Now I'm pregnant. What do I do?
My new job is not the dream job I thought it would be. It's been 2 months and I'm miserable with the workload and how I'm being treated. Am I being unrealistic? Do I tough it out or look for a new job and claim bad fit? Complications: suddenly pregnant. [more inside]

Why do I regret turning down this job opportunity?
Four months ago I was laid off from a company where I had worked for almost 15 years. I received a severance equivalent to 30 weeks of pay. About half of that was paid to me in bi-weekly paychecks while I could still technically be called an employee of the company. The other half will be paid in a heavily taxed lump sum check in the next week or so. more inside... [more inside]
Hire me even though I ran out so fast you saw a blur?
I had a great second interview for a position that I believe I will excel in. I did the best I could and answered as truthfully as possible. I believe things were going well and both managers seemed receptive, yet had their poker faces on. My mistake was when I got up to leave, I grabbed my purse and forgot to shake their hands and walked out. Is it a big deal? [more inside]
Professional jobs after felony conviction

Financial advice for a very fortunate 18 year old with a 401k?
There isn't any matching, but my employer does contribute a flat amount. How much of my paycheck should I contribute to this 401k? How should I operate the 401k, and what kinds of investments should I make? How much should I save or invest seperately, in other accounts? Are there any other actions I should be taking, financial or otherwise? [more inside]
What to do if I'm being paid less than agreed upon in an interview?
I recently took a part-time job tutoring at a nonprofit, and was told that I'd get paid $X/hr. Today, I was pulled aside and told by my supervisor/interviewer that I would instead get paid $Y/hr. I should have confronted her about it at the time, but I wasn't confident that I could think clearly in the moment so I asked for some time to think things over. What should I do so that I can get at least some of this back? [more inside]

I have only 80 hours left of work, but should I bail early?
I have severe social anxiety and depression, but I've been trying to work part-time with the support of my state's vocational rehab program. I have a natural exit point from this job coming up on August 27th, and I intend to take it. I don't know, though, if I can make it that long. [more inside]
What are inter-disciplinary and atypical uses for math MSc?
I have just completed my MSc in mathematics in Europe. I do enjoy math, but I spent my uni years feeling like a autodidact hippie marooned on an island full of Mr and Mrs I-Want-A-Good-Job. My main interests revolve around humanities (literature/history/anthropology) and economics (but not finance), and instead of starting a "stable" well-paying career I dream about something inter-disciplinary. I am very open to earning little money and relocating just to do kind of work that engages those skills. What are some random uses of my degree? [more inside]
Help in Acclimating to New Job
I haven't had a job in an office in over ten years. I've gone to school, I've done freelancing, but it's been over ten years since I had to get to an office and work for several hours and then come home. I start next week and was wondering what advice you might have in terms of acclimating to a new job after working on my own (or being in school) for so long. [more inside]

Going in for an interview for a job I'm not sure I want
I have been asked to come in for a job interview at a company I have interviewed at before. They have since hired someone else for the position, but have asked me to come in for a similar job as the work load has increased. For a number of reasons, I'm not sure I will be interested in the position, but I want to hear them out and I want to keep these connections in the future. Is there anything I should keep in mind or do to to ensure that it goes well? [more inside]

CareerFilter: for life or money?
Help me navigate a tricky career dilemma! I have two similar but different offers; I'm qualified for both. In the absence of a choice I'd take either one. One is less certainty but more pay and better long-term, the other feels better but the pay and long-term advancement are poor, i.e. I'd have to change jobs to get promoted significantly. I'm 28.

How to lie for the jobs you don't want while waiting for your dream job?
I'm a recent grad with an MA in Philosophy and a BA in Economics. Tired of academia, I'm seeking opportunities in finance, not because of the money, but because of the work itself. While I'm sending out resumes, networking with alumni, etc., for my dream job, bills also need to be paid. I figure I should try to get any gig that pays at all, at least temporarily. My question is: How do I lie in the interviews for these boring $9/hour administrative positions? [more inside]
Afraid of being fired: how do I keep the fear from crippling me?
I have crippling, perhaps justified fear of being fired. My fear is making my performance suffer, causing me misery and probably making firing more likely. How do I stop thinking like this? [more inside]

On job searching and hope.
Looking for experiences of job seekers who were offered a job long after the final interview. What is the LONGEST amount of time you have waited for a verbal and written offer? Some background: i quit my job somewhat unexpectedly to relocate after some crummy Life Things happened. I have been job searching for almost 7 months. I work in academic research (coordination and managerial roles, I am not a trained phd researcher). Back in the late fall I had a promising phone interview. The in person portion did not go quite as well, but I still had a good feeling. They told me that hiring occurs at a glacial pace and I probably wouldn't hear from them for a vague amount of time. I want this job and I want to convinced myself that maybe I am still in the running, but I still feel like I would have heard at least something by now. I was also told I would be reimbursed for part of my travel since it was out f state. It had been two months and nothing. I know they have not hired for the position yet and I was told it would be slow, but... Your experiences with long hiring processes? Or time between final interviews and offers or rejections?
How do I make peace with the stress of contributing to society?
Having a career is hard work (Duh). But I didn't know it would be this... all-consuming. How can I stay happy and stress-free when I suddenly have a tiny fraction of the "me time" I used to have? [more inside]
Was I slandered, or am I just paranoid?
I recently got the opportunity to apply for a cherry job that would have solved a lot of my current problems, but I seem to have blown it. I'm wondering if a bad employer reference might have done me in? [more inside]
A Job Offer with a Fee?
I just received a job offer yesterday at the place of business that I temp at. It requires that I stay there for at least one year, or else I must pay a fee. I like the thought of having full-time work with benefits and am very thankful, but I don't feel that I fit in the city I'm in currently and didn't see myself staying for another year. But I have to be careful about any risks I take with leaving my job because I don't have a family (as they were abusive) or anyone to rely on financially should things go south. Is this a good deal? Should I take this job? [more inside]

Looking for an active and outgoing partner
I am a 40 year old legal professional who has grasped life by the horns and am taking it for all I can. I feel that I have gained the success in the professional side of my life and now I want to do the same in my personal life. I am at a stage in my life where I want to begin building a foundation with someone special and create memories that we can look fondly upon years from now. I want to date someone who is out going and adventurous. Someone who does not want to watch life pass them by. I am very active and looking for the same quality in a partner. I workout 4 days a week primarily doing An intensive bootcamp I have focused on improving myself physically in the past 6 months and have made great strides with no intent of slowing down. It would be great to have a partner who has a similar mindset, but doesn't let it overtake enjoying other aspects of life - balance in everything is key. I am looking for the guy who wants to wants to sing at the top of his lungs in the shower, come home and cook together in the kitchen, who grabs your hand just at just the right time to let you know that he is there for you, a man who gives one glance and you simple knows he loves you. I believe in all thats possible - i wont settle for less than i deserve and for that matter less than you should deserve of yourself :) As far as the perfect date - for me would be a sat night at an eclectic dinner with a nice bottle of wine followed by the theater or symphony. In contrast, since we are talking weekend... Sunday we would be on the 50 yd line of a buccaneers game. We will have tailgated for three hours and be kicking back some beers, cheering on the game. Hard to place yourself there? if not...drop me a line! :)

WIP] Warlock - Victim of killing.people
Yep, I've been looking into the very nice tutorials stickied in the tutorial/learning sections. Killing.people's thread caught my attention in particular because I'm used to working with photoshop (but not as a painting program). Anyway, I watched the .avi s he put in there and tried to emulate. This is what I came out with:
I might finish this up but I need to sit back and think about what I just did before (or sleep) I continue.
Feel free to drop in comments about the technique or anatomy. Hair and fabric tips would be awesome. I think this was about 1-1.5 hours of work.

So far I like it... it would be cool if you'd finish it ... the face is looking good... the rest needs to be finished and more detailed...
I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected, enough to step aside and, weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...

It was the album Wide Open Spaces that introduced us to this wonderful band after multiple years of obscurity on independent labels. "I Can Love You Better" brought them to Top Ten, and it offered the highly underrated Kostas another . Although there's a bit of uncertainty to the vocals and production, the song still holds up thirteen years later. That same album would later go on to launch three straight Number Ones: "There's Your Trouble", "Wide Open Spaces" and "You Were Mine", which sounded far more confident and tuneful. "Trouble" didn't shy from the banjo, fiddle and steel, but it had a catchy melody and just enough pop sheen to cross over. Similarly, "Wide Open Spaces" was delightfully acoustic, but easily accessible to just about anyone with lyrics such as "Who doesn't know what I'm talking about / Who's never left home, who's never struck out / To find a dream and a life of their own…" This cut was followed by a more pop-leaning heartbreak ballad, "You Were Mine." This song aches with emotional yet direct lyrics such as "What right does she have to take your heart away / When for so long you were mine." And to close off this album, the Chicks gave heartbreak a hardcore honky-tonk spin on "Tonight the Heartache's on Me."
Album number two, Fly, saw an impressive eight singles make the charts. Strangely, two of those tracks (the melancholy "Cold Day in July" and the fun "If I Fall You're Going Down with Me") are omitted from this selection, but that's only a small complaint when one recalls those other six singles. "Ready to Run" blasted up the charts in late 1999 with its delightful tale of a runaway bride and its ear-tickling Irish lilt. Next came the ubiquitous "Cowboy Take Me Away," with its vivid list of "I want"s and yet more yearning. I've been using that word a lot, but it surely fits in well. Maines had just turned 26 when the song came out, so she was no doubt right in the middle of that long lists of wants that many young adults no doubt have. Keeping the theme quite firmly, "Without You" is a plea for a lost love to come back — perhaps the same man she was pining over in "Cowboy." Faced with the heartbreak, she chronicles the goodbye in unusual metaphor ("square people in a world that's round") on "Heartbreak Town" and dances her troubles away on "Some Days You Gotta Dance." Of course, any mention of Fly would not be complete without the notorious "Goodbye Earl." In so many ways the black sheep of early-2000s country radio, it contrasted its twisted, dark storyline of domestic abuse being avenged by murder with a sprightly melody and bold, sassy delivery. (What's more, it's yet another reason why Dennis Linde is perhaps my favorite songwriter in the genre.)
Home pushed the Chicks' bluegrass influences up to eleven, and boy, were they ever present on the Darrell Scott composition "Long Time Gone." Here, the loss of country music lifestyle, down to the sound that defines the genre, is lamented tunefully. Next came a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide," the plodding melody of which is only made more obvious with the bare-bones bluegrass instrumentation the Chicks gave it. But that slight sonic misstep (if not commercial — it was a #1 AC hit) is more than made up for on the top-notch "Travelin' Soldier," easily my favorite Dixie Chicks song. Here, the central character befriends a soldier who has to go off to war, and his death in combat goes unnoticed by everyone except her. By painting in so many details, one easily gets a crystal-clear picture of the sadness experienced by the female lead. The album wisely skips the sappy "Godspeed" and jumps ahead to their rendition of Patty Griffin's "Top of the World," which rivals "Travelin' Soldier" in its stark sadness — this time, over a man who has realized too late that he has not been there for a woman who needed him.
For obvious reasons, the Chicks were absent from radio after "Godspeed," and "Top of the World" did not make the charts. It was the angry, vitriolic "Not Ready to Make Nice" which (briefly) returned them to the country and pop top 40, while concurrently addressing the entire hatedom head-on. "I'm mad as hell and I don't have time to go 'round and 'round and 'round" may seem like a simple statement on the surface, but Maines' anger in those words cuts like a knife. "Everybody Knows" is a little less angry when it talks about the effects of fame and success on a celebrity, but it was no doubt fueled quite strongly by the backlash. Even less angry is "The Long Way Around," which feels like a more mature look from the life journey that started with "Wide Open Spaces" despite a couple subtle digs of its own.
As I mentioned, this collection didn't shy from the album cuts. Some of these offer sounds that the Chicks' singles rarely showed, such as the more rock influences of "Give It Up or Let Me Go" and "Lubbock or Leave It" or the breakneck bluegrass of "Sin Wagon", "White Trash Wedding" (both of which saw some minor chart action despite not being singles) and the instrumental "Lil' Jack Slade." Taking the Long Way is the most heavily represented here, offering five cuts beyond the singles shown here. The presence of these songs gives the album a slight unbalance towards that album, but that's only a minor complaint when those songs are every bit as excellent as the rest. (Well, if I have to nitpick, "Silent House" and "Lullaby" both overstay their welcome.)
In short, there is very little that the Dixie Chicks couldn't do musically. Whether they were playing straight-up country, bluegrass or a little bit of rock and folk, it all sounded equally professional, tuneful and entertaining. Existing fans of the band no doubt have all 30 of the songs already, but for anyone seeking out a comprehensive disc that offers all of the Chicks' best work in one package, The Essential Dixie Chicks highly lives up to its name.

A debate over Christian Zionism
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Thursday) | Listen to this entire show:
Good afternoon, welcome to WMNFâs Radioactivity program. Iâm Rob Lorei. Coming up, a debate over the support conservative Christians are giving the state of Israel in its conflict with the Palestinians.
But first about two minutes of listener comments. One from a listener who has a program suggestion and most of the rest about yesterdayâs interview with Pam Haengel of the Florida Voters Coalition. Some listeners wanted to defend the Post Office from a criticism that was made yesterday during the program in which absentee ballots might be lost in the mail.
Our topic today is Christian Zionism, the belief by some Christians that Israel should be supported in all that it does -- including the continued occupation and expansion of settlements in the West Bank.
Some people see it as standing by a strong ally in the Middle East and promoting the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Others see it as encouraging human rights abuses against Palestinians and a misreading of the bible. Weâre joined by two people on opposite sides of the issue.
The Rev. Stephen Sizer is a vicar in Christ Church in Surrey, England. Heâs the author of the new book, Zion's Christian Soldiers. Heâll be speaking in Tampa at the United Church of Christ 7308 E. Fowler Avenue at 7:30 p.m Friday and at USF's Marshall Center at 7 p.m. Monday.
Weâre also joined by Rabbi Shalom Adler, who is a regular spiritual commentator on the Sunday Simcha. Rabbi Adler was born in England and is the child of Holocaust survivors. He has studied in rabbinical colleges in Europe, Israel and the United States, and was ordained at the Central Lubavitch Yeshiva in Brooklyn in 1983. Since 1988, he has been the spiritual leader of Young Israel-Chabad of Pinellas County, an Orthodox Jewish congregation in Palm Harbor. He is fluent in Hebrew, both the biblical and modern versions.comments powered by Disqus
Commentsresponse to debate over Christian Zionism radioact
In August, Journalist Amira Haas of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, addressed IMEMC journalists in Bethlehem and issued this challenge: âIf you work to force Israel to see what they are doing, they will be forced to change⦠Jews create so much hatred,â she said, âpolitically it is possible to convince the US and Europe that to support Israel is to destroy it.â While living in Bethlehem, I saw the effect of the crushing Israeli policies that work to the detriment of peace. The excuse that they operate for security is a ruse that instigates retaliation and fosters suicide bombers. Demoralized, angry and desperate, the impressionable young are made easy prey for believing a life without hope isnât worth living. Israeli occupation breeds the futility that leads to suicide bombers. What surprises is that there arenât more. And perhaps there would be except for the overwhelming number of peace movements throughout the occupied territories. Sadly, they go underreported. When I first arrived, I had expected to hear hate talk against Jews and calls for the destruction of Israel. I heard neither. The protests and demonstrations I saw were non-violent and there was strong desire to seek peaceful solutions. Rabbi Adler said he hadnât recently been to the occupied territories. I wish he would go now and believe he would be warmly welcomed. Iâd like him to see the demonstration at Al Khader where every Friday a prayer meeting is followed by a peaceful protest against the building of the wall on village land. And I wish heâd speak with protestors and also with the Israeli soldiers who roll a large coil of barbed wire across the road and threaten them with pointed guns. Iâd like him to see the protest at Um Salamona, and hear the director of the Popular Community in south Bethlehem deliver his challenge to Israeli soldiers, âLetâs talk,â he says, âWhy are you armed, we are not: we want peace.â And I want him to visit Nablus where Israeli militia make nightly raids and kidnap citizens. Then go to Belin and Jenin where peaceful demonstrators confront rubber-coated bullets, tear gas and foul smelling spray; Travel south to the village of At-Atawi where peacekeepers, including Jews from Israel, escort children to school so settlers donât harass them. I want him to go through checkpoints and take alternate roads Palestinians must take to avoid Jerusalem. Iâd like him to visit prisons where about 11,000 Palestinians are presently interred. Unless you spend time there, live and listen to the silenced voices of over three million Palestinians, it is not possible to fully understand the economic and emotional affects of the Israeli occupation.

ABC has tapped NASHVILLE's Chloe Bennet for Joss Whedon's upcoming AVENGERS-inspired series S.H.I.E.L.D., The Hollywood Reporter announced.
Bennet is reportedly filling the last 'regular' role in the drama, taking on the role of 'Skye,' a "confident woman who is slightly obsessed with superhero culture and the shadow organizations that exist within it."
She joins the previously announced Ming-Na (ER), Clark Gregg (THE AVENGERS), Brett Dalton (KILLING LINCOLN), Elizabeth Henstridge, and Ian De Caestecker in the ensemble series.
S.H.I.E.L.D. stands for the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, a covert, quasi-military peace-keeping organization which was featured in this summer's Avengers movie, and is a long-time staple of the Marvel universe.
The project was written by Whedon, his bother Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen and is based on a collection of Marvel comic books. There have been no details as to which Marvel characters will be featured in the TV version. On the big screen, the organization included overseer Nick Fury, Captain America, the Hulk, Black Widow, Tony Stark and Thor.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is expected to premiere in Fall 2013.

More truths and myths about 'True Grit' movies
CORPUS CHRISTI - Last week's column about "True Grit" struck a nerve. Judging from responses from friends and acquaintances, this topic interests them more than South Texas' pressing societal issues addressed in the unsigned editorials they darn well know I write.
It should come as no surprise, therefore, that an audience-seeker (and -finder) as astute as Bill O'Reilly also would use the two "True Grit" movies as grist for commentary. Like me, O'Reilly's bigger point was not to write a movie review, but to make a bigger point. Like me, his bigger point didn't stop him from indulging his inner Ebert. Like me, he liked both movies but preferred the original.
That may be the extent of our common ground.
My big point was that both movies provided an excellent heroic female role model in central character Mattie Ross. I preferred the original mainly because it was romanticized and the ending was happier — more suitable an influence on my 14-year-old daughter, who hasn't seen it yet. The new version, which I took my daughter to see, is stark and its Mattie suffers much more for her heroism.
O'Reilly's big point is that the poetic original and prosaic remake reflect our own loss of hope and sense of decency in the intervening years. "We once were a country with boundaries and rules of behavior," according to O'Reilly. "Now many of those boundaries are gone. ... In 1969, when 'True Grit' played in the theaters, Americans were looking for heroes like John Wayne to show them nobility. Today there are far fewer heroes, and we don't expect much nobility, even in the movies."
I would expect a large audience to agree. Not me, though I recognize the tug of emotions that O'Reilly knew he would tap when he wrote those words.
John Wayne the actor, the personality, the American icon, indeed was the standard-bearer of heroism and nobility that O'Reilly says Wayne was, and asserts is missing today. Jeff Bridges, who in Wayne's role of Rooster Cogburn emphasizes the character's character flaws, doesn't pretend to represent those qualities. Unlike Wayne, who provided a welcome respite for those bothered by the significant societal changes of the late 1960s, Bridges in these troubled times "offers no antidote," O'Reilly says, correctly.
O'Reilly revels that John Wayne won an Oscar for "True Grit," praising him for dwarfing his co-stars so effectively that they "look like Lilliputians to Wayne's Gulliver." Wayne beat out "serious" actors (emphasis O'Reilly's) Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight for that Oscar.
Wayne indeed was large, physically and as a presence, like a large, great athlete who appears larger than what's listed on the roster. O'Reilly is shrewd to focus on the guy we guys all wish we could be, and that foreign countries accuse America of being. But he did not dwarf actress Kim Darby's performance as Mattie. She stole this film, which focused more heavily on her character than Wayne's. He was the perfect prop. The failure of his John Wayne-ness to intimidate Mattie underscores the trueness of her grit.
I agree that the original "True Grit" reflected its time and that it was a John Wayne vehicle. I see it also as a vehicle for what then was called "women's lib." Mattie, not yet even an adult, defeated shrewd businessmen and dangerous criminals with her wits and bravery, and refused to submit to the social boundaries of her time. I can't imagine a better symbol for the women's movement then, or role model for my daughter now.
I disagree that today there are far fewer heroes, that we no longer seek them, and that we have fewer boundaries. How immediately after pilot Sully Sullenberger landed on the Hudson and saved all those lives did we revere him? Ask a "stewardess" of 1969 how different stewardess-ing then was from flight-attending today. Ask any woman with then-and-now workplace experience about today's boundaries versus 1969's, and which she prefers. These boundary improvements since 1969 are not just workplace regulations. They're common decency.
O'Reilly laments the gritty explicitness of today's "Grit," a complaint I don't recall hearing about the crucifixion in "The Passion of the Christ." I remember it being praised for making more clear how great the sacrifice. If our movies are more explicit today, maybe it's not our thirst for violence so much as our appreciation for honesty.
It's interesting that O'Reilly mentions Hoffman and Voight having lost out to Wayne for the Oscar. Both were nominated for "Midnight Cowboy," a movie full of explicitness and indecencies I won't describe in this family newspaper. Those who've seen it recognize the irony of O'Reilly's assertion that our boundaries have eroded.
We know enough of O'Reilly not to be surprised that he would use these two movies to draw the parallels he did. As predictable as it might have been, he did an excellent, thought-provoking job of it.
Who could argue with O'Reilly that John Wayne "was larger than life, a symbol of the insurmountable American spirit," or that we could use more of it these days? I just don't think we ever lost it. Not much was better in 1969 than today, except that John Wayne was still alive. And John Lennon.

In many ways, Microsoft is typical of a massive company. It's visibly slow to react to things, and it takes a very long time for the firm to manoeuvre. But 2012 is looking like the year it finally gets its ducks in a row. Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and... >>

Tantei means 'detective' so I was expecting some sort of mystery. I thought they would be detectives. Sure, cute and entirely moronic detectives. But detectives all the same.
How sadly disappointing.

Is a small man with a small penis who lives in Columbia SC and hogs up and ruins the rants and raves page on Craigslist with his anger of dark skinned males with big penises who can dance and have good sex.
A mojo is one who resembles, in every way,Rush Limbaugh's secret twin brother who lives in a trailer/mobile home (not even a "double wide.") They have been making love to their mother since the age of 10 and they only orgasm when a woman talks about how small and pink their penis is... just like their mom used to do.

What's the Best "New" Scout Rifle?
(www.gunsandammo.com) by Tom Beckstrand-The concept of the Scout rifle popularized by Col. Jeff Cooper existed as early as World War II. While the Germans certainly didn't refer to their forward-mounted scoped rifles as such, their Mauser K98ks — fitted with ZF-41 scopes — closely match the criteria later mandated by Cooper. The Mauser rifles were a little longer and heavier than the he would have liked, but they were appropriately chambered, had the recommended glass in the right place and fed from stripper clips. A concept first fielded militarily by the Germans more than 70 years ago that still has a following today obviously has merits. The Scout rifle isn't perfect for every scenario, as it was — and is — intended to be a general-purpose rifle. Scouts don't work well if we're trying to shoot small groups on paper or if we're engaging multiple targets at close distances. However, they are simple to maintain and operate and quick to reload. Every rifle has a personality and unique characteristics. Scouts can best be described as agile, quick-loading and -cycling, short, light and featuring redundant sighting systems (one optical and one iron). The reason such rifles hold a captive audience is that they work when called upon for everything from killing game to defending the homestead. The effective range for the Scout is limited to the proficiency of the user, but it likely falls anywhere from 25 to 400 meters. Capable of functioning reliably with a wide variety of bullet weights under the most adverse conditions, the Scout concept promises to remain relevant for another 70 years. Here's a roundup of today's Scout — and Scout-like — rifles. Read more:

LG readies 55-inch 8K TV, and new quantum dot 4K display technology December 16, 2014 at 10:55 am
At CES 2015 — now less than a month away! — LG says it will show off a 55-inch 8K TV, and a 4K TV that uses quantum dots to improve image quality and color saturation. The 8K display is also notable because it's small — with a diagonal of 55 inches, this thing not only has an incredibly high resolution for a TV (160 PPI), but it will actually fit in most households, unlike the 85- and 98-inch 8K TVs that we've seen previously.
Jaguar concept car has transparent pillars, windshield HUD with Mario Kart-like 'ghost' mode December 15, 2014 at 1:41 pm
Jaguar Land Rover, the British automotive company that is most famous for its Jaguar and Range Rover cars, has unveiled a concept car with an incredibly elaborate heads-up windshield display, combined with "transparent" pillars that provide full 360-degree vision and remove any blind spots. Mario Kart fans in particular will like the advanced HUD: To help with navigation, it has a 'ghost car' mode, which projects an image of a small semi-transparent car onto the windshield, showing you where to go.
Hyper haptics: Invisible, touchable 3D shapes created with blasts of ultrasound December 10, 2014 at 9:29 am

Your next iPhone might use motors, thrusters to prevent screen-cracking falls December 3, 2014 at 9:07 am
You know that weird quirk of physics where toast and iPhones always fall face down? Well, I have good news: Your next iPhone might have the ability to change its angle mid-fall, so that it lands on its side or back, saving the brittle glass display. Apple is researching a whole host of weird and wonderful ways of correcting the trajectory of a free falling smartphone — such as using the phone's vibration motor to change the fall angle slightly, or mall canisters of compressed gas to act as retro thrusters that can slow the descent.
Corning unveils new Gorilla Glass 4, can now survive drops 80% of the time November 20, 2014 at 10:30 am

Why the iPhone 6 doesn't have a sapphire screen October 29, 2014 at 11:15 am

Haptic holographic display turns thin air into a touchscreen October 28, 2014 at 2:45 pm

Surgery is a treatment option for severe
cases of
Dupuytren's disease. The goal of surgery is to restore
the use of your fingers and hand. In most cases, surgery removes the diseased
soft-tissue bands that connect your finger joints to the palm, and it may involve
a skin
graft. Total hand function may not be completely
restored by surgery. Even with successful surgery, thickened palm tissue may
develop again in the same place or in a new area of the hands. Reoperation is
often needed to keep hand function.
You may improve the
outcome if you do postsurgical rehabilitation with finger exercises and
splints, as directed by your health professional.
Depending on your condition, your surgeon will choose one
of the following surgical procedures:
In rare cases, the middle joint of the finger is fused
(permanently joined) to keep it from bending in.
When you are deciding about
surgery, think about:
aponeurotomy is a form of fasciotomy that is done as an outpatient procedure
local anesthesia. This procedure
may be good for people who cannot have surgery, or as a way to delay surgery.
But it only partially corrects pulling or contracture between the fingers and
the palm. Also, there is chance of damaging nerves of the adjacent fingers. And
there is a high chance the contracture will come back.

Stuart Barnes: Ireland's trip to Twickenham to take on England is shaping up to be a Six Nations classic
The high point of the Six Nations is set to be round three. Wales, after being utterly out-thought and outplayed by Joe Schmidt's team, have to beat France in order to restore both their pride and any hope of making it three Six Nations titles in a row.Back to story

Stuart, do you think Irelands line out and maul can be as effective against England and the very thoughtful lancaster an farrell?

Hi Stuart, At what point do you think Tom Young's throwing in to the lineout becomes a real issue and the coaches think of dropping him from the match day squad?

Sim Clack says...
Hi Stuart, The french press over here are waxing lyrically about France winning the Grand Slam (and they might), but after watching their first two games they really seems to be no game plan, or leadership. Individual performances (Fofana, Nyanga) are one thing but they seem lacking in any collective creativity and go forward...any thoughts?

Derek Brannigan says...
Hi stuart, Ireland have been good so far this year but in fairness so far we've played a poor welsh and scottish side, rugby is deteriorating on a domestic level within these countries, I do accept twickenham will be a huge challenge and the winners will be most likely champions if not grand slam contenders, my question for you though is looking at this current Irish team, how would you fancy theyre chances for world cup 2015 Thanks Derek

This release is also availabe in Spanish.
Researchers from the Laboratory of Anthropology at the University of Granada have devised a new technique to determine the age of living subjects using chest and dental x-rays. The study was carried out by Dr. Pedro Manuel Garamendi Gonzlez and directed by professors Miguel Botella Lpez, and Inmaculada Alemn Aguilera. This is of special interest in the case of alleged illegal minors, since this technique will make it possible to determine the age of an individual by analysing the x-rays of their bones, when used in legal medicine.
For the study, UGR researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis of 123 digital postero-anterior chest x-rays and 742 digital ortopantomographies, using the Image J computer programme, which analyzes digital x-rays.
In radiology, what is the maturation rate of specific anatomical bone structures" The research carried out at the UGR aimed at answering this question. In this particular case we have focused on the hyoid bone, the proximal clavicular epiphysis, the costal cartilage of the first rib, degenerative parameters of clavicle joints, certain abnormalities of the clavicle (conoid tubercle and the floor of the fourth ventricle) and cortical calvicular indicators, stated Pedro Manuel Garamendi Gonzlez.

The results of the project are of great interest for the legal medical practice, since they show the relative limits of current methods, nonetheless widely used and acknowledged by international study groups, such us the AGFAD (German group on age diagnostics). For instance, the fusion of the proximal epiphysis of the clavicle to diagnose ages of up to 21 years or the fusion of the greater horn of the hyoid to de

Traffic to be blocked for storm gate tests
The city is testing its storm surge protection levee gates at North Port Avenue and Stroman Road beginning at 8 a.m. Wednesday.
During the test, motorists should avoid that area as traffic won't be allowed across North Port at Stroman from 8 a.m. to noon.
The gates are protection for the downtown Corpus Christi area from flooding. Each year before the start of hurricane season on June 1, the storm water department conducts an exercise to hone installation skills and evaluate condition of the gates.
In addition to the gate at North Port, there are four other gates, which are located at West Broadway Avenue; near West Broadway across the Union Pacific Railroad tracks; near Stroman; and at the Museum of Science and History.
Equipment for those areas will also be checked before the season starts, but the gates won't be put up during this test.
For more information, please contact the storm water department at 826-1875.
