NHL Draft Lottery tonight – Isles eye top pick
All eyes will be on the NHL offices in Toronto this evening, as the 2012 Scotiabank NHL Draft Lottery, a weighted system to determine the order of selection for the first 14 picks of the 2012 NHL Draft, will take place at 8 p.m., EST. Tonight's telecast will be televised by TSN in Canada. NBC Sports Network (Verizon Fios Channel 590, Time Warner Cable Channel 481, RCN Cable Channel 691, Cablevision Channel 719, Directv Channel 603, Dish Network Channel 151) will air tonight's lottery in the U.S.
With hopes of securing the top overall selection in June's NHL entry draft, the Islanders will hold a 10.7% chance of moving up from their present fourth slot to nab the coveted top pick. The Columbus Blue Jackets, who finished 30th overall with a league-low 65 points, will hold the best chance – 25% – of locking up the top overall pick.
Here are the odds for the remaining 12 non-playoff teams: Edmonton Oilers (18.8%), Montreal Canadiens (14.2%), Toronto Maple Leafs (8.1%), Anaheim Ducks (6.2%), Minnesota Wild (4.7%), Carolina Hurricanes (3.6%), Winnipeg Jets (2.7%), Tampa Bay Lightning (2.1%), Washington Capitals (via Colorado – 1.5%), Buffalo Sabres (1.1%), Dallas Stars (0.8%) and Calgary Flames (0.5%).
No team can move up more than four spots, or move down more than one. Therefore, only Columbus, Edmonton, Montreal, the Islanders and Toronto can pick first overall.
Nail Yakupov, a highly-skilled winger hailing from Nizhnekamsk, Tatarstan, Russia, is the consensus early favorite to be selected with the top pick. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Yakupov, scored 80 goals in his two seasons playing junior hockey for the Sarnia Sting in the Ontario Hockey League. He has drawn comparisons to the two other Russian wingers to be selected with the first overall pick – Ilya Kovalchuk (2001) and Alexander Ovechkin (2004) – along with the "Russian Rocket" Pavel Bure.
Other notable forwards expected to be selected near the top of June's entry draft include: Mikhail Grigorenko (C, Quebec, QMJHL), Alex Galchenyuk (C, Sarnia, OHL) and Filip Forsberg (LW, Leksands IF, SWE)
A quartet of young, highly-skilled defenders have also been bandied about as potential top-5 selectees. They include: Ryan Murray (D, Everett, WHL), Matthew Dumba (D, Red Deer, WHL), Griffin Reinhart (D, Edmonton, WHL) and Morgan Rielly (D, Moose Jaw, WHL).
If successful, the Islanders will pick first overall for the fifth time in franchise history. Other past top selections include: Billy Harris (1972), Denis Potvin (1973), Rick DiPietro (2000) and John Tavares (2009).
The New Jersey Devils won last season's draft lottery, moving up from the eighth spot to select Swedish-born defenseman Adam Larsson with the fourth overall pick. One pick later, the Islanders selected forward Ryan Strome from the Niagara Ice Dogs.

Lincoln's Ghost Walks - Legends and Lore
Take a 90-minute nighttime tour of sites throughout Springfield that are linked to spirited stories about Lincoln's life and death. Founder Garret Moffett based the tour partly on local lore about Lincoln's visions and dreams, as well as on reported ghost sightings.
Fall Festival at New Salem
Typical autumn life on the 1830s Illinois prairie will be demonstrated. Costumed interpreters will demonstrate daily tasks such as candle dipping, butter churning, soap making, basket making, spinning wool, gardening, natural dyeing, and fishing with nets. Demonstrations of meat smoking will take place in one of the log village's period smokehouses, and wild game cooking will be demonstrated in the log homes. Visitors can step down into the cellar at the tavern to see how fruits and vegetables were preserved during the winter.
Undying Words 1858-1865
A powerful look at Lincoln's greatest words and how they helped end slavery in America. "Undying Words" explores the most important speeches of Lincoln's career, showing how his views on slavery evolved as he sought to hold the country together.

Chewing tobacco, snuff, snus, and dissolvable tobacco in the shape of sticks, pellets, and strips are all types of tobacco products that are not smoked but used in other ways. All types of smokeless tobacco contain nicotine and chemicals known to cause cancer (carcinogens).
Chewing tobacco comes in 3 forms:
A piece (plug, wad, or chew) of tobacco is placed between the cheek and gum. Users chew on it for several hours and spit out the tobacco juices and saliva as they build up.
Snuff and snus are ground tobacco. Moist snuff and snus are sold in cans or sachets (pouches that look like tea bags). Users put a pinch (dip, lipper, or quid) of moist snuff between the cheek or lip and gum. Sachets are placed between the cheek and gum. Dry snuff is a powdered form sold in cans. A pinch of dry snuff can be placed in the mouth or sniffed up the nose.
The newest forms of smokeless tobacco are finely ground dissolvable tobacco that is flavored and shaped into sticks, pellets, or strips. These forms melt in the users' mouth within 3 to 30 minutes, delivering nicotine. These new stick forms of smokeless tobacco contain 3 times more nicotine than an average cigarette.
Nicotine in smokeless tobacco is what gives users a buzz. It also makes it very hard to quit.
Every time smokeless tobacco is used, the body gets used to the nicotine and starts to crave it. Craving is one of the signs of addiction. Another sign of addiction is called tolerance. This is when the body adjusts to the amount of tobacco needed to get a buzz. With continued use, more and more tobacco is needed to get the same feeling.
Many smokeless tobacco users say it is harder to quit smokeless tobacco than cigarettes.
Some people believe smokeless tobacco is OK because it does not cause health problems from smoke and smoking. This does not make smokeless tobacco safe, however. Some smokeless tobacco delivers more nicotine than cigarettes, making addiction more likely. There are also direct effects of smokeless tobacco on the mouth.
Trying to quit can be difficult, but it is not impossible. Here are some tips.
Your chances of being cured are higher if oral cancer is found early. Check your mouth often, looking closely at the places where you hold the tobacco. See your doctor right away if you have any of the following:
If you use smokeless tobacco, your doctor and dentist should carefully examine your mouth at each checkup.

With the bones of the yet-to-be-completed Ace Museum as the backdrop, Los Angeles-based menswear store Union served up an appetizing sartorial spread of diverse pieces to mark his arrival for Highsnobiety Magazine Issue 8. While there, Future discussed what the future holds not only in terms of music, but fashion, technology and more.
Where do you see the state of fashion 10 years from now? What labels do you see thriving?
The future is the Future. I see my brand Freebandz apparel growing into a full-fledged fashion label as well as brands that I keep in my closet right now. Brands like En Noir, Hood By Air, Public School, etc. that have been on a steady rise over the past couple of years. These brands will be household fashion labels by then as they represent the future and the youth.
Many artists use mixtapes as a way to curb music piracy. What do you see as an artist's next great weapon in the fight against illegal downloading?
I see artists partnering up with music downloading and streaming apps like iTunes or Spotify more and more. I think the mixtape culture will continue, but the means of distributing them will change. iTunes will start to share mixtapes in the hip-hop category, but you will be able to download them for free. This can potentially sell more music for artists as well because once you are in the iTunes store, you start browsing for other music from that particular artist.
What can listeners expect from Honest?
An incredible body of work. I put everything into this record and worked with some of the best, most creative artists in the industry to build it out. Honest will be my best project yet. I'm just excited for the world to hear it.
You've been quoted as saying "I don't really let people in to my world. You've gotta save something for yourself. You can't just let everybody know everything about you." Coming up in the so-called "Facebook Generation," how do you balance wanting to stay connected with your fans while still maintaining a personal life?
You gotta stay true to the art. If you stay true to the art, everything else will fall in line. If you put out a great body of work, your fans will connect with it automatically. I don't need to respond to every post on social media, but if I post new music that's how my fans will connect. With my personal life, I've always kept that private. I've never had too much trouble separating the two.
Artists like Jay Z and Eminem put out records in 2013 at 40 years old and up. What do you see your music being like in 10 years when you're nearing 40?
Phenomenal. I think Jay and Eminem have continued to put out great material over the years. It's hard to say since everyone compares their current records with their past records, but even if those past records didn't exist I think fans would think these current albums are incredible. My music will evolve with the time, but still maintain quality.

MASSENA The Town Council may move ahead with seeking appraisals on property at the Massena Intake and Massena Point turned over to the town by the New York Power Authority as part of the 2003 relicensing agreement.
Council members Wednesday discussed the towns options for selling the land, including having the property appraised and whether to go through a real estate agency or advertise the property on their own. Councilman John F. Macaulay said he believes it would be in the best interest of the town to go through a real estate agency.
(I would like to) get real estate people involved in future endeavors. We should go ahead and get (the properties) out of our hands, let them work on it, Mr. Macaulay said.
Mr. Macaulay said the properties would have to be appraised before the town could begin to work with a real estate agent.
Before we give it to a real estate guy wed have to know the price, some kind of value to put it on a listing, he said.
Councilman Charles A. Raiti said he believes the council will vote on whether to have those properties appraised at its next meeting Jan. 16. Once the land is appraised, the council will have to weigh its options.
Mr. Raiti said in order for the property to be advertised on national websites, the town would have to agree to an exclusive listing, meaning that for a set period of time, all offers and advertisements would have to go through one broker. Mr. Raiti remains in favor of going through a Realtor, saying it would save town officials time and effort.
They do all the marketing and all the labor, (and could) possibly get some national advertising on the property, he said.
Mr. Gray would like to look at exclusive listings through any interested agents, to find one who will list the property for the lowest possible commission. He also expressed a hesitancy to move ahead on the properties, particularly Massena Point, in order to find the best possible deals.
There is no way we are selling Massena Point for $10,000, when it is worth $200,000, Mr. Gray said. That is an extremely valuable piece of property and it might not be the right time to sell it. But theres no way Im going to sit back and dump it for a bottom-basement price.
Despite his hesitancy to sell the Massena Point property, Mr. Gray would like to have it appraised, noting the town might be able to reduce the costs of the appraisals by having them both appraised at the same time.
More than 300 acres of land formerly held by NYPA was returned to the towns of Massena, Louisville, Lisbon and Waddington at no cost following the 2003 relicensing of the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project. But little has been done yet with those parcels. Officials blame a lagging property market and a general hesitancy throughout the region toward making large investments during uncertain economic times.
According to a study completed by a consulting firm retained by NYPA in January 2011, nine parcels of property along the shores of Waddington, Louisville and Massena are best suited for a marina or other large-scale commercial development.
The study evaluated land currently or formerly owned by NYPA in the three towns adjacent to the St. Lawrence River. Its conclusions are meant to show the towns which parcels would be the easiest for shoreline development, proposals that could include a marina, commercial dock or restaurant.
Those nine parcels are on or near Whitehouse Point and Whittaker Park in Waddington, on Mutton Ridge and adjacent to the Lake St. Lawrence Yacht Club in Louisville, and near the Massena Water Intake and Robert Moses State Park in Massena.

Kulkuohjeet kohteeseen Promised Land Lodge
Kartta ja saapumisohjeet
Promised land lodge is located in the south coast of Zanzibar which is 1 hour drive from Zanzibar town where the international airport and the harbour are located.
Although taxis are available, you will probably want to walk through Stone Town. After all, most of the alleys are barely wide enough for a bike to pass.
Journeying outside Stone Town is most comfortably done with a taxi or a private car, however a network of dalla-dallas, small minivans, exist which service all the major villages on the island.

Now don't get me wrong, i have a special place in my heart for the raptor. That's saying alot, considering i hate ford. that aside, the 2500 modified to be a RR'r is the correct choice for this test. the transmission, engine, and suspension are nearly perfect for the job. a long arm lift, 35's, and tuner chip are the minimum requirements for the project. in short, 3k in mods. Believe me though, they make a difference. I would love to see the results of that test. in video.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will determine if the level of virus in HIV-infected patients taking antiretroviral medications for prolonged periods decreases or persists at a stable level. It will also examine whether new gene changes (mutations) occur during drug suppression.
HIV-infected patients who are 18 years of age or older, have been enrolled in another NIH protocol, have been suppressed on antiretroviral therapy and have very low levels of virus in their blood may be eligible for this 5-year (or more) study.
Participants come to the NIH Clinical Center about every 6 months for a physical examination, routine and research blood tests and leukapheresis to collect white blood cells for T cell analysis. For leukapheresis, blood is collected through a vein much like donating whole blood, but the blood is directed through a machine that separates and extracts the white cells and returns the rest of the blood components to the patient. Patients may also have an optional third clinic visit each year for another blood draw.

|Official Title:
|Analysis of HIV-1 Replication During Antiretroviral Therapy
- We plan to investigate the relationship of HIV-1 viral RNA levels and genetic variation in patients on antiretroviral therapy over prolonged periods. [ Time Frame: End of Study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- 1. Investigate the determinants of HIV- 1 viremia in suppressed patients [ Time Frame: End of Study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- 3. Investigate the genetic and immunologic characteristics of patients with HIV-1 suppression on antiretroviral therapy who experience rebound viremia [ Time Frame: End of Study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- 2. Provide human subjects protection oversight for samples accrued in protocol 97-I-0082 and 00-I-0110 [ Time Frame: End of Study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|September 2008
Combination antiretroviral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus serotype 1 (HIV-1) infection has resulted in profound reductions in viremia and is associated with marked improvements in morbidity and mortality. Therapy is not curative, however, and prolonged therapy is complicated by drug toxicity and the emergence of drug resistance. How drug resistance emerges during suppressive antiretroviral therapy remains poorly understood. Investigating the characteristics of HIV-1 replication during suppressive antiretroviral therapy will yield important insights in understanding the emergence resistance, and requires patients who have suppressed viral RNA levels. Prior National Institutes of Health (NIH) protocols have made important observations regarding the kinetics of HIV-1 decline in response to therapy, the levels of HIV-1 viremia during suppressive therapy, and the nature of HIV-1 genetic diversity prior to and following initiation of antiretroviral therapy. In the process, these studies have generated a useful cohort of patients with suppressed viral RNA levels, who have been extensively characterized from a virologic and immunologic standpoint. Similarly, patients from other NIH protocols have been followed for prolonged periods before and after therapy has been initiated, and they also have stored sample sets that would be useful in new studies of HIV replication. The HIV Drug Resistance Program (DRP) has studied samples from protocols 00-I-0110 and 97-I-0082 to develop a number of new, sensitive laboratory techniques to measure and quantitate genetic variation and to investigate immune response parameters. To further advance understanding of HIV-1 replication during suppressive antiretroviral therapy and the emergence of drug resistance, we propose a new protocol to study these 2 patient cohorts (from the above cited protocols) and selected patients in other protocols with a new series of studies. The primary objective of this protocol is to investigate the virologic and immunologic characteristics of HIV-infected individuals undergoing antiretroviral therapy. Upon implementation, this new protocol will provide human subjects protection for samples collected under the two prior protocols, whether patients enroll in the new study or not.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion criteria for this protocol comprise all of the following conditions:
- Age greater than or equal to 18 years.
- HIV infection with documented reactive ELISA and positive western blot.
Prior enrollment in 00-I-0110, 97-I-0082 OR patients with long term evaluation at NIH for whom additional sampling will be useful for protocol objectives, including:
- Available stored specimens from pretherapy period.
- Ongoing suppression of viremia with bDNA less than 50 copies/mL, OR
- Suppression of viremia to less than 50 copies/mL followed by rebound viremia during therapy.
- Patients must have a private physician for routine medical care.
Any prospective study subject who has been previously withdrawn from any prior study for inability to comply with study procedures will be considered ineligible for this study.

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress

Have a trashcan kind of day Mar 02, 2012There's something funny that happens when you have children. Well, there's a lot of not funny things that happen, like gray hairs and stretched abdominal muscles, but there are non-physical benefits to keeping people with a very young sense of humor around: Lots of ordinary things are just .. not ordinary. The other day when leaving the house the children noticed the trashcan had blown over in the wind. "WOW!" they exclaimed, "I bet he's never been on his side before! I wonder if he loves it?" Because seriously, where do they come up with this stuff? Upon much discussion about the happiness a trashcan feels in his new position, experiencing the world through this new perspective, learning new things about the ground, tires, leaves, they decided...

It's a confusing time for everyone involved. This particular morning, the Boy couldn't get a grip. He woke with a nasty case of being four.

#Balance#Life#Getting to know meEvents, months, season, holidays, years. Each one sliding by less influential each time. The daylight ends so early now. Darkness chills the children as they walk off school busses. Commuters rush in drizzle rain to the warmth and glow of home. There is a place I dislike to go. My mind swirls with lonely thoughts. If I chat loud enough, I do not hear her. I try to not hear winter breathing down my neck. A year? Two? More? How long has this winter lasted? Why is she here again, so soon? My children delight in the dark. "It's almost Christmas! Mom, look!" breathless they point at the houses already lit with twinkle lights. I smile, aching for their joy. I hold them close, hoping by some tactile osmosis, their enthusiasm for life will soak in to my bones. I cling to... Read more

#Life#The Flinger Family#Baby O#Working Mom"Mamma, will you play with me?" There are three other children at school outside playing under the careful eye of their pre-school teacher. I briefly consider the deadlines, the emails, the phone calls. "Yes, Buddy, I will." His face lights up and he runs to select a ball from the bin. We play "kick the ball" which could also be called soccer if we were a little more agile. At first we are tame, kicking softly, rolling the light red ball across the cement in the covered area back and forth from my large feet to his tiny ones. One of us kicks it a bit too hard and the other laughs as the ball bounces off the divider and the wall. We kick with a twirl. We kick with both feet after jumping. We kick until the ball flies over our heads and we giggle. I am... Read more

I ponder the past few days, how a few days can be such a grand event, how every group of few days provides alternate versions of life. Carrying my camera down the streets of Brooklyn, watching with the eye of an observer, I pictured myself walking to the cafe to meet a friend on this sunny morning. I would know the cafe barista because this is what we do most Saturdays. I'm not sure if I own a dog, a small one, in this alternate life, but if I do, he walks with me as the kids run ahead. I can see this all through my lens, and my eyes tear up for a brief second with the thought of my children, how wonderfully in love I am with them, how deeply I miss them every single trip, and how...

Is it possible to say that picture quality is better with small f number but on very small DOF, so this perfect quality degrades very quickly?
So basically is there any reason to shoot with big aperture except to separate foreground and background? It is mostly theoretical question, so I do not consider shutter speed and blur with big F etc. The question is about picture quality in perfect focus with different F numbers.
In other words assuming we have ideal photoshop which can separate each object from background, so we can easily programically blur background and get same quality image... - and I want to understand where I'm wrong

I've noticed that companies invite you for interviews but reject you because you don't have the experience. Even if your interview performance is good.
I find this odd because if they have your CV, they can see your experience and if you don't have the experience they should not be interviewing you (and wasting your time or producing false hope).
The only reason I can think of is I'm being used as a backup candidate, in-case they don't find the experienced person they were expecting. Then they would have to downgrade the job slightly and introduce (shock, horror) a bit of training.
04 December 2011 11:05 AM
As a general rule only about 5 candidates are interviewed regardless of whether 10 or 1,000 apply for the job. The fact that you made it into the top 5 probably means that on paper you are good enough for the job. Rejecting people on lack of experience is commonplace and always has been. It may have been possible that you were a backup candidate and another one had a 99% chance of being offered the job prior to the interview. This situation does indeed happen quite regularly but you probably will never find out.
My advice is to find out which areas you are weak in. A possibly substitute for work experience could be working on an open source project then documenting it.
05 December 2011 10:02 AM
Couldn't agree more. All else being equal the more experienced candidate is going to get the job, partly due to saving costs of training but mainly due to lower risk: if someone's doing the job already you know they are competent to do it! But out of 5-6 interviewed candidates there may well only be 1 or 2 who have all the experience; and they may not have the right personality, may only be applying to scare their present employers, may ask for too much money or may get offered a job elsewhere. If employers only interviewed candidates with "perfect" CVs they'd hardly interview anyone!
Job seeking in engineering at the moment is incredibly tough, but there are opportunities around, you've just got to keep plugging away at it.
One lesson which I've learnt the hard way: if you have any suspician that you are being invited to interview to "make up the numbers" there is no harm in asking for an informal telephone conversation first - it's quite reasonable to say that you're very interested in the position and you'd like to find out more about it first. That way you may be able to judge whether the job really is the right fit for you. (Obviously don't say you want to find out if it's worth you spending the time and money coming to interview, even though that's what you really mean!!) This can be particularly valuable if recruitment agencies are involved: they have been known to polish the truth when they tell the company about you, along the lines of "his CV says x but actually he's done y".

In your formal rejection letter(s), have the prospective clients given you specific reasons for you not being successful?
Have you tried mailing a letter asking for feedback? From experience this has often been met with constructive reasons for their decisions and this may tailor your next interviews to build on any weaknesses that may have let you down.
05 December 2011 02:07 PM
On paper you may have been equal to the other candidates but it's the on-site interview which then reveals that one candidate has more experience in relevant areas. Our CV's do not tend to cover all our experience else they would likely not be read and so we generally stick to the main points which are then explored in more detail at the interview. Also it can be the confidence with which things are explained. I have picked up two jobs where after starting I was informed that I came across as being more confident in the relevant areas I was explaining and yet I know the employer did not inform the rejected candidates of this and simply used the same reason you were given. Keep attending the interviews and sooner or later you will tick all the relevant boxes of an employer and it will then be the other candidates getting the 'sorry you did not have enough experience'. See each interview as giving more experience on interviewing and stay positive.

Its interesting that you must have exactly the right experience to get the job. It also means that you are not learning anything new by doing exactly the same job as you were doing before. How are you supposed to expand on your skill set?
I guess once you're in the company though, you could move sideways and learn something new. But only in larger companies.
My last job (Electrical - designing wiring looms), I managed to get due to the other candidates not having sufficient experience. This is perhaps hinting towards a possible skills shortage in this area, and not electronics.
07 December 2011 09:36 AM
How are you supposed to expand on your skill set?
Immediately expanding your fundamental skill set by changing jobs is almost impossible. Generally people develop new skills through their current employement; the problem is - as you suggest - that you can get into a position where this is not practical. (Incidentally the size of the employer is not totally relevant here, a very small but growing company can give some of the best opportunities for development, as everyone has to help with everything!)
So a common reason for changing jobs is to move to an employer where there are more opportunities for developing your skills. I've changed employers three times in my career, each time was, strictly speaking, a demotion but each one allowed me to progress in a different direction because the new employer had different opportunities - one step backwards and three steps forwards if you like. But each job change did make use of my core skills at the time, so employiong me was very low risk.
Just remember that employers are recruiting you to do a job, not to give you a training opportunity! But there is no harm asking in interviews about what development opportunities there are, a good employer will be pleased that you want to progress (in the fulness of time).
That said, I'm currently job seeking myself, and am definitely looking for a position beyond my present role, but because I've taken on responsibilities considerably beyond my actual role I have a portfolio of evidence that I can move to a new position - because I've already effectively done it! That's the other way, but it's not easy to build up that evidence and make it solid.
Trying to change career is extrememly difficult, whether in engineering or anything else. It involves a lot of hard work and a fair amount of luck. My experience is that all you can do is keep pluggiung away at it, take advice from everyone you can, and keep your ears and eyes open. Good luck!

Sadly you'll never find out.
I once applied for a job in a university doing IT support (after having worked a couple of years in a different university).
I was turned down with a sited lack of experience.
No worries I got a job else where. Imagine my surprise when a much less experienced co-worker (who started after me) revealed to me that he'd applied for the same job, and been offered it (though at a reduced salary because he was not experienced)
no recruitment agencies involved we both applied directly to the same people, his would have been either his first or second IT job, I'd had >5 years experience in the type of job, including 2 years in a similar role...
fact is sometimes, (for whatever reason) you might not fit the job. either your character isn't right, you don't look the part the interviewer doesn't like you on sight. or in my case, your CV is rejected with no other contact, whilst less experienced people are invited to interview, and offered a job...
I.e perhaps the requirements of the job aren't properly described to people making the advert, or the job advert is just a lie to get people applying...
it's extraordinarily unlikely that people will apply for a different job doing exactly what they are doing or have been doing for years, (the only reason I was is because I split up with girlfriend and wanted to move to a new place) so lack of experience is a fit all excuse that can be used with impunity.
Don't fret it. keep applying and you'll find something
06 September 2012 05:20 PM
If there is a dictionary of Business Speak (or BS for short), then "Lack of experience" essentially translates as "Too risky" (in every or any sense).
It's an interviewer's way of lying to you to get rid of you without having to think too hard. Even if you ask for feedback, you may get this line. You may even get it for a "trainee role".
The whole interview process can seem like a game of chess, where your real qualifications and experience are not usually that relevant, and what they're really looking at is how convincing you are, because let's face it, until they've worked with you for a while, you are still a risk, no matter what it says on your CV. Frankly most engineering jobs are not that hard for someone with an engineering education to learn after a few weeks. The other issue is whether they think you are using the job as a stepping stone to something else to nab some free training at their expense.
You've got to remember that whatever HR people and engineering managers say or write, what they seem to want is the world on a stick... a 35-year-old with the quals and experience of a 55-year-old, and they want it for the salary of a 15-year-old.

If there is a dictionary of Business Speak (or BS for short), then "Lack of experience" essentially translates as "Too risky" (in every or any sense).
..or lazy, or arrogant, or uncaring, or has no real interest in the role, or just downright lied on their CV - I've seen the lot!
Lying, or letting down politely?
The last half-sentence is totally true. This first half less so: what you're looking for is a whole package, not just quals and experience but also interest, someone you could work with, and someone genuinely interested in the job
I don't know where to start with that extraordinary sentence. Show me an RF FPGA design engineer who can become a safety engineer in "a few weeks", or vice versa, and I'll employ him tomorrow!!!! After 30 years I'm still learning every day. I think you need to find a more challenging job
Absolutely. Fortunately an experienced interviewer can spot those a mile off.
Yes please. And they must be unattached so happy to work Christmas day and travel the world at a moment's notice. And be a master baker in their spare time so they can deliver hand made cakes to their manager once a week (or is that just what I want from my staff?)

I'd agree that the reason they use this lie is because they suspect that the candidate might be being dishonest about some aspect... probably not CV these days, but motive or motivation.
I'd also agree that it's used as a foil for when there's a personality clash.
I also think you can encounter some interviewers use this line if they despise people who are in some way more qualified than them in some aspect (not the same as being arrogant, just a factual thing, like having a degree instead of a HN-something, A panel where you could see that one loved the candidate and the other just hated them - but not for objective reasons.
I think the soft skills side - personality match (or "charm" if you like), belief in the motivation.
I certainly don't see how this line can be considered polite; if anything, it's cowardly. Just saying "we chose a better candidate" would be better than wheeling out this line.
"I don't know where to start with that extraordinary sentence. Show me an RF FPGA design engineer who can become a safety engineer in "a few weeks", or vice versa, and I'll employ him tomorrow!!!! After 30 years I'm still learning every day. I think you need to find a more challenging job"
You've misconstrued that whole sentence... of course you learn every day, and that's why we become engineers... but every engineering "trade" is learnable fairly quickly - becoming fabulous at it is another matter.

I certainly don't see how this line can be considered polite; if anything, it's cowardly. Just saying "we chose a better candidate" would be better than wheeling out this line.
Not sure...I do see where you're coming from here, the problem with the "we chose a better candidate" line is that it instantly begs the question "better in what way?" Actually the best response is the blank "your application was unsuccessful on this occasion". What we typically do is:
Where a candidate is rejected as they genuinly have too little - or wrong - experience then we often tell them, sometimes quite specifically, as these are the candidates we may consider for other positions (it is quite common for me to interview a candidate for one position and decide they can't do that but could do another that we might not have even advertised yet).
Where a candidate has (for example) lied on their CV, doesn't seem genuinly interested, or just comes over as a pain in the backside, then it's likely to be "your application was unsuccessful on this occasion".
You've misconstrued that whole sentence... of course you learn every day, and that's why we become engineers... but every engineering "trade" is learnable fairly quickly - becoming fabulous at it is another matter.
We may be talking about different types of "engineering" here! An engineering role will typically take 2-3 years to "learn", if it takes a few weeks to learn it ain't an engineer role I think there may be confusion here about a "trade" and a "profession", the IETs view is that engineering is a professional role. Plenty of debate about that elsewhere on this site! (I am not going to even mention the difference between an engineer and a technician...whoops I did.)
The genaral point here is that candidates often grossly overestimate the time that recruiters have available to deal with candidates. We're all trying to do our "day jobs" as well, and we need to concentrate on finding the right person and getting them in. With the best will the world, companies are not there to provide moral support to unsuccesful candidates. HOWEVER, I would say to anyone rejected from an interview that it is always worth asking for feedback: you may well not get it as the company just doesn't have time (and also they don't want to get into legal arguments), but sometimes they will. You tend to get feedback when the recruiter thinks you're a good candidate but not right for that role / company, you can guarantee not to get feedback if you go in with a belligerent "why didn't you employ me?" question - no-one wants to employ Mr Angry! I had a wonderful example a few years ago of a candidate who was (although he didn't know it) second placed after the candidate we employed. The rejected candidate wrote what we considered to be an extremely aggressive later telling us that we had made a mistake and that we should reconsider him (remember he did not know who the other candidates were). As it happens, the first candidate didn't work out. Now, if the second placed candiadate had written a professional letter thanking us for considering him and hoping that further opportunites may arise then he would have been reinterviewed. As it was everyone agreed that this was not someone we wanted in our organisation.
With about 200 applications for every job, 199 people are going to be disappointed every time, and 5 out of the 6 on a typical interview shortlist are going to be very disappointed. All you can do is show good grace, and if you liked what you saw of the company let them know that you accept their decision but you'd welcome a chance to have a go for anything else. Rudyard Kipling's "If..." is really helpful to read when job hunting.

MASSENA Massena Memorial Hospital CEO Charles F. Fahd II said the hospital is getting closer to being able to open the Seaway Orthopedics facility, 271 Andrews St., purchased in 2012.
We are very close to hopefully hearing about the final approval processes from the Department of Health regarding the acquisition of the Seaway practice, Mr. Fahd said. We have two contingencies remaining, and both of those contingencies appear to have been satisfied and submitted to the Department of Health. We should hear back from them shortly.
Hospital spokeswoman Tina R. Corcoran said the facility is waiting for the certificate of need to be approved for an in-building therapeutic pool that patients would use for rehabilitation.
The contingency has to do with the therapeutic pool. There are issues that the Department of Health wants to make sure that it meets. I think one of the issues is a lot of hospitals do not have therapeutic pools. Were treading different waters. Its a learning curve, she said.
She said Senior Director of Ancillary Services Mark P. Brouillette has been working diligently on getting that resolved.
Were hoping it all comes to fruition in the very near future, she said.
A typical certificate of need process takes from six to 12 months, according to Ms. Corcoran. But Mr. Fahd said, because of the length of time this one has taken, he believes its the most difficult project he has ever worked on.
This is going farther out, Ms. Corcoran said.
Hospital officials announced in January 2012 that they planned to purchase the Seaway Orthopedics building for $2.95 million to expand their services. The Massena Town Board voted unanimously that month to allow the municipally-owned hospital to purchase the building, as well as the MRI and physical therapy equipment inside.
The 14,000-square-foot building was owned by Dr. Bedros Bakirtzian, who maintains a private orthopedic practice and operates physical therapy and MRI divisions out of the same building.
The hospital plans to take over the MRI and physical therapy and the vast majority of those divisions employees, Mr. Fahd said in January 2012.
Dr. Bakirtzian will maintain his orthopedic practice separate from the hospital and will not become an MMH employee. He will pay a monthly lease on 3,300 square feet of office space and another 2,100 square feet of apartment space for personal use.
Dr. Bakirtzian will remain in his office. He is still a physician affiliated with the hospital. He will be renting space from us. We will own the whole building, Ms. Corcoran said.
Hospital officials had been in negotiations for two years to reach a deal on the property. The sale was contingent upon the approval of a certificate of need from the New York State Department of Health. They received the certificate of need approval for the purchase of the building in late 2012.
This acquisition is part of a long-term interest of the hospital that will allow the hospitals Physical Therapy and Seaway Orthopedics Rehabilitation Programs to complement one another and ensure the hospital is taking the right steps in meeting the community needs in rehabilitation.
It will still be used for outpatient physical therapy like it is now, Ms. Corcoran said.

Just wanted to say hello from Northern Arizona. I have an 11 week old Pitbull female named Kaya and she is smart and loving, yet hyper and nippy still
We're training her as much as we can. She is in her crate at night, using the doggy door pretty good for the two weeks we've had it, although the recent cold is causing some accidents because she doesn't like going potty in 10 degree weather. She's also on a 100% raw diet going on 3 weeks now. She's doing very well with it.
As of today:

Wow, a custom compile for 95/NT? I wondered where you got it, then looked on your website.
I had been mostly using a version of Opera 10.6 (hex-edited to change references to some 98-specific APIs) that's pretty good at rendering, but its JavaScript renderer soaks up virtual memory like a sponge. SeaMonkey is better on Windows 95.
Windows 95 OSR2 was far more stable than the initial release of Windows 98.
"Internet integration" was a sham, and it amazes me that people defend it. For the record, it was technologically possible to remove IE from Windows 95. Windows 98's "integration" ruined the modularity and usability of the system, and occurred for no reason other than to circumvent anti-trust stipulations and increase the penetration of Internet Explorer by any and all means necessary. We're still paying for that today.
I remember Netscape 4. In fact, I was using it semi-regularly (albeit on my Windows 3.1 computer) as late as 2003.
Although it wasn't quite as lightweight as Netscape 3 (which was undoubtedly their high-water mark), it was generally stable and ran just fine on a 486.
It had none of the security issues that Internet Explorer 4 invited by going above and beyond the definition of what a web browser should do.
If it crashed, it seldom took the whole system down with it as IE would always do.
It didn't take the entire system hostage. It left the Windows shell well enough alone. It was uninstallable, like a normal application.
Its rendering capability was no worse than IE 4's. (If it seems worse now--and frankly, most people haven't used IE 4 in years so they don't really know--that's only because IE got ahead of it in rendering capability after Netscape had its air supply cut off and was in a mad scramble to do anything other than fade away without a trace.)
It was a more robust browser than IE 4 in practically every way. And if Netscape had been able to develop the software in a more natural manner (a la version 1-3) without a monopolist breathing fire at their heels with blatantly-illegal marketing practices, I'm sure it would have been better still.
(And before you claim that IE won the Macintosh market "fair and square," remember that Microsoft threatened to discontinue Office for the Mac if Apple didn't bundle IE as the default browser on its systems.)
Assuming it matches the rest of the laptop, black permanent marker works in a pinch. It worked on the Dell that I've been trying (painfully) to convert to a workable Linux system.
In any case, "Windows" is a key that I've personally found to be as useful as "Sys Rq"...
The difference, of course, is that recent Firefox releases are quite a bit better in terms of features, usability, rendering capabilities, and stability than Netscape Communicator 4.51 and the then-sub-prototypical Netscape 5/Mozilla Milestone 4 were ten years ago. I can think of no like advantage Windows Vista has over Windows 2000.
Let's get this straight: "Raise the minimum requirements to require Windows XP Service Pack 3 or higher," with no benefit, and no rationale other than for breaking compatibility for its own sake? If that's the case, I venture to say that Mozilla has seriously lost its way.
So, Microsoft ditched support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP pre-SP2? So what; the APIs are just the same now as they always have been. If anything, Mozilla should focus more attention to catering to users of OS versions that Microsoft left behind, where they have less competition...and chances are, the users of Windows 2000 are still using the OS that they are because they're frustrated with Microsoft's "support" policies and the further regressions (performance and usability issues, product activation) posed by newer versions of its products.
I'm seriously still bitter about them breaking compatibility with Windows 95 and NT4 a few versions back: One consequence was that the current version of Firefox was no longer capable of running off a version of Windows not unremovably inundated with Internet Explorer and its ilk. Short of a miracle of penetration from the Linux camp, how are we going to wean people off of a steady consumption of upgraded Microsoft products when we get attitudes and potential decisions like this?

The Rumor Mill :: College Football Coaching News and Rumors – Wednesday, Nov. 27
We've heard rumblings over the past several days that Rutgers coach Kyle Flood could be in trouble, and we added him to this week's Hot Seat list.
Now, the Asbury Park Press reports the situation for Flood might be even worse than we thought. Athletics director Julie Hermann is already under investigation and most agree if she goes, so does Flood.
Flood would be owed $850,000 if he is fired before Feb. 1, 2014. Keep an eye on this one.
With Rutgers headed to the B1G, the Scarlet Knights may want to start with a clean slate… or an old one. Greg Schiano anyone?
Mack Brown is only a few wins away from passing Darrell Royal on Texas' all-time Texas wins list. In fact, he probably hits the mark next season – if he returns.
Even though UT megabooseter Joe Jamail says that Brown will decide when he retires, sources continue to tell us this is likely his last season in Austin.
If Brown goes, who takes his place? As you've no doubt heard numerous times, Alabama coach Nick Saban tops the Longhorns' wish list. Earlier this week, Saban's wife Terry told the Wall Street Journal that the couple intends to retire in Tuscaloosa, but the Sabans certainly aren't above changing their minds.
If Saban does stay put, we continue to hear that Jimbo Fisher, Charlie Strong, Jon Gruden and Art Briles could all be in play.
Briles stated last week, that he "cannot envision" talking with other schools at season's end, but sources indicate he'd still likely listen to Texas.
Another name that has surfaced is Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Tomlin last coached in college at Cincinnati in 1999-2000, where he was on staff with Jimbo Fisher. Ian Rappaport reported a couple of weeks ago that Tomlin's job in Pittsburgh is safe for 2014.
Sources indicate Tomlin may be ready to move on – and that he'd have a keen interest in Texas.
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy's name is also making the rounds, both publicly and privately. Many believe he could emerge as a prime candidate at Texas.
At Florida, the Orlando Sentinel reports that Will Muschamp will return as coach in 2014, but that there will be "significant changes" on the staff. Sources tell us the two most likely sacrifices are offensive coordinator Brent Pease and offensive line coach Tim Davis.
Pease said today he believes he deserves to return.
You may remember Davis from his off-season spat with his former boss, Nick Saban.
ESPN's Brett McMurphy reports that FAU coach Carl Pelini was fired for not reporting conduct of staff and not for using illegal drugs. Here's an excerpt from a letter that interim president Dennis J. Crudele sent to Pelini:
"FAU did not terminate your employment because of a finding that you used illegal drugs. Accordingly to clarify these significant points … your resignation is withdrawn and your separation is converted to a termination with cause based on our finding that you failed to timely report certain conduct of a member of your staff, as required by your contract."
We continue to hear that Ohio State defensive coordinator Luke Fickell is a serious candidate. FAU AD Pat Chun said he would like to name the Owls' next football coach by Dec. 8.
Stephen F. Austin has fired coach J.C. Harper.
James Madison fired head coach Mickey Mathews.
According to the Daily News-Record, "JMU might be interested in as its new coach are Oakland Raiders quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo, Arizona co-offensive coordinator Rod Smith and Virginia Tech tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator Bryan Stinespring."
Elon has fired coach Jason Swepson. Swepson went 10-24 in three seasons.

3-piece wall-mounted acoustic panel that opens to create a vocal booth or provide acoustic absorption.
The Primacoustic FlexiBooth is a full size 24" x 48" wall-mounted acoustic cupboard that opens up to surround the voice talent and create a 16 cubic foot voice-over zone. This eliminates room ambiance from the voice, thus allowing the engineer to add the required echo or reverb to best suit the performance in postproduction.
From the outside, the FlexiBooth looks like a typical cupboard. It features an attractive black melamine finish that is easy to clean. Inside, ultra high performance 6lb per cubic foot fiberglass panels effectively absorb sound throughout the voice range. The acoustic panels are 100% encapsulated with micromesh and are covered in a tough yet attractive acoustically transparent fabric to enhance the fit and finish.
The FlexiBooth performs double duty as a variable room ambiance device. Those that have recorded in large professional studios will be familiar with the variable acoustic panels that are often used to tailor the room acoustics. For instance, a brighter more ambient room is as generally preferred with acoustic instruments or darker ambiance for voice, electric guitars and so on. By positioning several FlexiBooths around the room, one can easily create different acoustic environments by simply opening or closing the FlexiBooth doors. To reduce freight costs, the FlexiBooth ships flat and assembles in minutes using common household tools. The Primacoustic FlexiBooth provides a simple yet highly effective solution for vocal recording that can adapt to any room.
Comes in black/gray or black/beige.

Comments about Primacoustic "FlexiBooth" Instant Voice-over Booth:
The Flexibooth does improve acoustics during vocals within its realm of effectiveness (about 2 ft from the booth.) It also effectively deadens ambient sound for a mic placed inside that realm.
I felt this was a stylish choice compared to panels or blankets.
For that reason, the cabinet was the selling point of the booth- yet the boards are cheap MDF board. The corners of the boards cracked and the wood particles were exposed through the black finish. Especially at the corners. Received replacement, same issues in next box. I believe it's packaged poorly and does not protect the panels enough. And the finish is not very durable.
It Still functions, and I plan on touch up paint in the future. Based on the price, and the quality of the board, I feel acoustic treatments for the entire space would have been a better value.

As per one of the leading unlocked cell phone blog site, Redbox clarified rumors that they were planning to launch a streaming Netflix competitor later this year. CEO of Coinstar, the company that owns Redbox, confirmed that the service was in the works last year during an earnings call, but did not elaborate on how it would operate or how soon users could expect to use the service. He also did not have any information regarding the pricing model that would be employed with the new service.
Lowe confirmed today that the new service will be a subscription service in the same way that Netflix is run. No further information regarding exact pricing was given. At this point in time, Redbox runs unmanned DVD rental machines that allow users to rent a movie for one dollar per night. These kiosks are usually stocked with the latest new releases in an effort to compete with video rental stores.
Redbox did not reveal whether or not they had a partner for their upcoming streaming service, but it is assumed that they could not operate a subscription based streaming service without first partnering with a company that has the hardware to back up the operation.
Redbox is looking to directly compete with Netflix, after easily taking hold of the movie rental market. With Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, and other movie rental companies struggling to stay afloat with high rent prices, Redbox was ahead of the game when they launched the unmanned do it yourself kiosks that have become highly popular in recent years. It will be interesting to see how well RedBox will be able to compete with Netflix, which has already established themselves as the leader in the streaming market after cutting deals with all of the major console gaming systems, allowing gamers to link right up with their library of streaming movies and play them directly through the console platform.
PureMobile carries wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked cell phone such as Blackberry Bold 9780, Nokia N8 unlocked, etc..

PARROTS FOR SALE: Need to Rehome Adult Parrots
Posted by Lansing, MI on 3/20/13IP: 188.8.131.52
I need to rehome several adult parrots.
I have 1 pair of SI Eclectus, 1 Vos male, 1 Blackheaded
Caique DNA tattoo male, 1 Quaker Sex unknown, 1 Scarlet
Macaw Dna Male
Most are pet quality with some work. Macaw is a plucker
large vocab, sweet but will need to get know you before he
feels comfortable with you. He is not a screamer but does
like to tell our dogs to shut up when they bark. SI hen is
an egg layer not proven pair, however she is special needs,
both pet quality pair, must go as pair. Hen has splayed leg
but does not hamper her ability to perch or get around.
Pair is fully feathered. Caique is very sweet boy.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to spend with them as I
used to. I want them to have good homes with someone who
has time for them. Please don't write me if you are just
looking for cheap birds, I am in no hurry to have them
leave, I prefer a good a home vs a huge adoption fee.
