I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rite Aid (Brooklyn, NY) in June 2014.
I emailed my resume directly to the Hiring Manager for a position after seeing a job posting on the window of a local Rite Aid store, and my email was answered the next day inviting me for an interview the following Monday. Monday came, but the interview had to be postponed to Wednesday. On that Wednesday, I interviewed for the position of Asset Protection Agent, but the person I interviewed with thought my personality was so "dynamic" and "engaging", that he asked if he could consider recommending me for the Wellness Ambassador position. I wasn't familiar with that position, but I was in desperate need to begin working, so I was open to the suggestion. I was asked to be certain to fill out an online application while waiting for the next interview. Two days later, I got a call from a representative in Human Resources, who conducted a "pre-screening" of me over the phone, which was a very basic and pleasant interview. She kindly informed me that I would need to fill out a survey if I had not done so with my application, and if not, she would email it to me. One Monday of the next week, I got an email from the Human Resource representative to let me know that she would be forwarding all of my application "materials" over the Hiring Manager in the Pharmacy department of the store in which the position was available. (I assume that meant I passed the survey, as the process probably would have ended there if I had not.) Two days later, I got a call from the Pharmacy Manager (hiring manager) to schedule an interview for the very next day. During the interview, I met with both the Pharmacy Manager and the Store Manager. They were very busy that day, so they could not be as formal about the interview as they would have liked to, but they both explained to me the gist of the job duties, what they would expect from me, the hours I can expect to work, etc. After all that, the Pharmacy Manager said, "I think you would be GREAT for this job. I will go ahead and submit my recommendation for you." So, I was then scheduled for another meeting with the Supervisor over the Pharmacy Manager as well as the Human Resource Representative. This particular interview was a lot more frustrating, as it was much longer than any of the other interviews, the questions were all very scenario-based, and the number of questions asked seemed endless. Before the questions, however, I was asked to watch a short video of a Wellness Ambassador at work, which I thought was impressive. I was then shown the job description of the Wellness Ambassador, and then the two of them took turns asking the questions. The interview last well over an hour. They thanked me, told me that they would be in touch within the next day or two, and that they would let me know their "decision", which I was confused about considering I'd already gotten a "decision" from the person who was doing the actual hiring. Finally, after 3 restless days of waiting, I finally got the call from the Pharmacy Manager that I could go finish up the next steps of the "hiring process".

Wellness Ambassador InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at Rite Aid in June 2014.
The process took about 5 weeks start to finish. There was an initial screening with a HR recruiter, immediately after that she had me do a survey. I was then contacted by the pharmacy district manager for an interview. After interviewing with him I was told I would interview with the HR manager, which I did the next day. Then I was called back to interview with the district manager. All the interviews were very informal and were more of a conversation. They made the process very ray and relaxed but they asked the typical interview questions.
Interview Questions
- How comfortable are you approaching people and stating a conversation? Answer Question
The salary was given during the initial interview with the recruiter but during the interview with the PDM I was told that the salary would actually be higher than initially stated, which was true when the offer was made.

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Rite Aid (Angels Camp, CA).
I started by applying online, got a phone call a few weeks later from the front end store manager. We talked on the phone and discussed a time that worked for the both of us to get together for an interview. After the first interview, I was told right then and there that I would be getting another interview for this position. The next interview was with the Pharmacy manager. After this interview, a couple of days passed and I got another phone call from the front end manager telling me I had passed the interview with the pharmacy manager, and I would need to travel to the main branch for my district to speak with the pharmacy district manager. This interview was a little more stressful and much more scripted. I was told that I would be called within the week with a yes or a no, and that I would not just be left out in the wind. A week passed to the day and the phone rang. They offered me the position. Overall, it was a lot of work, but worth the hassles.

Not really much negotiation. This was my first job, they told me what my going rate would be and I took it.

I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rite Aid (San Jose, CA) in August 2012.
Walked-into a local Rite-Aid store to ask if they were hiring. Store manager informed me of this new position they are looking to hire. I filled out an in person application. She called me an hour later to ask me to fill out an on-line survey (for logic). Hiring store manager from another store called me back and did a brief phone interview and set me up to have an interview with the pharmacy manager. After an hour interview with her, she referred me to have an interview with the Pharmacy District manager, who hired me. Did a drug test (within 24 hours) and background check is pending. Also, training is required.

Total Recall: Who's the Man?
We count down 10 of our favorite movie Men.
First, some ground rules. We decided against loading up the list with superheroes, so there's no Batman, no Spider-Man, and no Blankman. Secondly, we decided to go with movies that end with "man," so don't get all bent out of shape over the fact that The Man with the Golden Gun and The Man with Two Brains didn't make the cut. Without further ado, here are some of our favorite Men!
more info...
|10. Encino Man (14%)
A caveman (Brendan Fraser) caught in a prehistoric avalanche is thawed out by a high school dweeb (Sean Astin), waking up to a radically different California filled with sun, babes, and Pauly Shore. Astin cleans up the caveman and figures hanging out this exotic character will improve his social standing, only to find the girl of his dreams falling for Fraser. Bummer! Riding the wave of good vibes and MTV-style bodaciousness cresting at the time of its release, Encino Man is an undemanding comedy that milks early '90s SoCal culture for all it's worth.

Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2008 to manufacturing, and concomitantly with this milestone of the development suite, made available for download the final version of .NET Framework 3.5. Together with Visual Studio 2008, the .NET Framework 3.5 is an integer part of the company's commitment to support developers with the necessary resources to enable them to build, not only software products but also services, on Windows Vista, the Office 2007 System and Windows Server 2008, as well as the web. As of now, Visual Studio 2008 RTM, has been made available exclusively to MSDN subscribers, but the same is not valid for the .NET Framework 3.5.
"For over 15 years, Microsoft has delivered visual design surfaces that enable developers to graphically author even the most complex applications. Visual Studio continues Microsoft's commitment to making its platform more accessible and developers more productive with integrated designers for .NET Framework 3.5 components such as Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)," revealed S. "Soma" Somasegar, corporate vice president of the Developer Division at Microsoft.
The .NET Framework is offered by the Redmond company as a managed code programming model. The process of building application for a range of Microsoft platforms from Windows clients to server offerings and to embedded devices is streamlined via the .NET Framework. Essentially, .NET Framework 3.5 comes as a collection of incremental additions to previous versions of the resource including .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0. You will be able to download .NET Framework 3.5 via this link right here on Softpedia.
"The Global Launch of Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 on Feb. 27, 2008 will provide a great opportunity to highlight how our customers are making the most of Visual Studio 2008 and demonstrate how they can benefit from the power of the full Microsoft application platform, including Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008. You'll also see how our partners are delivering great products that extend and enhance Visual Studio 2008. But remember -- don't wait. Visual Studio 2008 is available right now to MSDN subscribers, and will be available soon to other customers through our various other channels", Somasegar added.

"As majestic images of Half Dome and Horsetail Falls fade in and out on a giant screen, the music builds and then melts to mirror the majesty of a church or echoes the Southwestern style as a mission takes the screen. When the final moonlit mountain went dark, the music stopped and the full house erupted. The effect is both inspiring and humbling." —J.T. Long, _Sacramento Press _

The movie about the queen of rock 'n' roll has its own history, having passed through the hands of several writers, directors and stars, including Catherine Hardwicke and Renee Zellweger. It's only one of at least two competing projects that have been brewing since around 2004. The other currently has Broadway star Nina Arianda in the lead and Marthy Macy May Marlene director Sean Durkin calling the shots. Neither should be confused with the 30 Rock, Jenna Maroney-starring unofficial biopic.
Amy Adams is the chosen Janis for Get It, and assuming the film goes ahead this time, she'll be belting out tracks including Piece Of My Heart and Me And Bobby McGee.
Ron Terry wrote the script with his wife Theresa Kounin-Terry and the producers have rounded up independent financing for the film. Focus Features are apparently considering snatching distribution, but that's still not locked in.
If Daniels does sign on, he should be cranking the cameras early next year. His latest, pulpy thriller The Paperboy, should land on our cine-mats next year.

When I was feeling a little lonely last weekend, I went on a mayjah online shopping spree. The first of my purchases arrived this afternoon, so I figured best to start sharing now! I posted a couple of weeks back that I received my first OCC Lip Tar. I really enjoyed how different it was, so much that I needed two more.
The package was just a plain old white box, nothing too special. I don't really care if my items come packaged very fancy, though, as long as I can recycle most of it.
The insides. Plenty of padding for a couple of tubes IMO. Not sure if they use more padding for other products they sell like eyeshadow jars and nail polish.
The Lip Tars were in a baggie (guessing just in case they leaked/exploded) and there was a promo post card (same image as on their website, http://www.occmakeup.com/)
I posed the new ones with my old one. In order they are Cha-Cha, Strumpet and Interlace.
And then dummy me flipped them on my hand, so they turned into Interlace, Strumpet and then Cha-Cha.
Since orange-y lips have been an obsession lately, I decided to give Cha-Cha a whirl. The following are the results of my trial. Don't mind the rest of my face, it's my gym makeup (a little tinted moisturizer and some mascara. No, I can't even go to the gym with a nakey face.)
Some got on my teeth I think. It came off again, but I wasn't going to re-do pictures just because of that. I mean lipstick teeth happens sometimes, right? I didn't go out with it like that.
Then somehow this happened. I know it's not flattering and don't even remember the camera going off. Oh well, might as well post it, right?
Overall I really like the idea of Lip Tar. It comes in a tube like a gloss, comes out even thinner than a gloss, but dries down into more of a lipstick (no stickiness whatsoever) I still have not gotten the hang of making it last, though. I have heard people say it lasts hours and hours and hours, even thorough eating/drinking. I didn't even make it TO dinner let alone THROUGH it. Ah well, I'll get there.

The north of England has a shale gas resource of
1,300 trillion cubic feet (tcf), according to a long-awaited
analysis by the British Geological Survey (BGS). But BGS says it
may not be possible to get any more shale gas out of the ground
than it assumed in an estimate two years ago.
The assessment was released today in a Department for
Energy and Climate Change (DECC)
report, on the day energy minister
Michael Fallon hailed as "the day that Britain gets serious about
shale". Chief secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander said the
estimate "confirms the huge potential that shale
gas has for the UK".
But where is all this gas, how does it compare to
other countries, and how much will it be possible to use?
Where is it?
The BGS estimate covers the Bowland shale found in
the north of England, in Lancashire and east of the
The shale rock in this area is found at two different
depths. The green represents the distribution of the upper layer of
rock, the orange the lower layer and the purple the area where both
are found - it the North York moors for example.
How big is it?
According to DECC, the UK
consumes about 3 tcf of gas a year - so
a figure of 1300 tcf is clearly pretty significant. To provide some
comparison, figures calculated from the US
Energy Information Administration
suggest that France has a shale gas resource of 2335 tcf.
At today's press conference, BGS's Professor Mike
Stephenson was at pains to emphasise the new number refers to
the shale gas resource - the total amount of gas that is there -
rather than the amount of gas it might be possible to get out,
known as reserves or recoverable resource.
BGS highlighted a number of different factors
affecting the difference between resource and reserves:
The difference between the two figures is determined
by a wide variety of factors - including environmental constraints,
government regulation, infrastructure and political attitudes
towards the technology as well as the technical difficulties of
actually getting the shale gas out of the ground.
Converting resources to
Stephenson was reluctant to be drawn on what BGS's
new figure for the shale gas resource in the north of England might
mean for the country's ability to extract shale gas - arguing that
it is very difficult to make a reasoned assumption when such a lot
of issues affect the calculation and before
test wells have been drilled in the UK.
The US-based
Energy Information Administration
recently estimated that it might be technically possible to extract
four per cent of the UK's shale gas
resource. But the EIA's assessment didn't take economic, social or
political factors into accont.
In 2011, BGS
estimated that the north of England
yield 4.7tcf of the gas - a figure
that's about 250 times smaller than today's estimate. Stephenson
described the figure today as "back of a fag packet" - but also
told Carbon Brief it's "not unreasonable" to conclude that it could
be right.
A lot of shale gas
Michael Fallon said today that it would be
"irresponsible" for the country to ignore the opportunity shale gas
represents - and that the new fuel has the potential to generate
tax revenues and community benefits as well as energy
It's clear that the fuel will form a part of the UK's
energy mix, and that the country could access to quite a
significant resource. Despite the release of today's figure,
exactly how big that will be remains something of an unknown

GUEST BLOG: Foundry Feature Episode Series
By Cerebrusfilms - September 20, 2013
My name is Cerberusfilms and I'm here to tell you about a project that we at StarbaseUGC.com have been working on for the past few months.
Since the release of the Foundry, people have told many great stories in the Star Trek universe. Some have been epics to rival the length of The Motion Picture, and others have been no longer than an episode of TNG, yet still had the same impact and storytelling power.
With that in mind, a group of Authors from StarbaseUGC came together earlier this year to create the first, fully fledged Feature Episode Series entirely created in the Foundry!
This series consists of 6 missions, created by some of the best and most prolific authors in Star Trek Online, including (in no particular order) Kirkfat, CaptPFDennis, Zorbane, Drogyn1701, Castmodean, Rellimtime82, RogueEnterprise, Cerberusfilms and Bazag.
Without further ado, I present:
"Purity" revolves around the core principles of the Federation, and their defense from within and out. How much latitude should Starfleet be allowed in their search for resources? Should we put our needs above those of an entire Civilization? Is the Federation all it claims to be? All these questions and more are asked and answered in this series.
The first mission "Purity: Of Denial," will debut for Federation Players on Tuesday, the 1st of October, with each subsequent episode being released every Tuesday following until the 5th of November.
With the kind support of the STO team, each mission will be spotlighted, providing extra rewards to those who complete these missions.
Please follow @StarbaseUGC on twitter, as well as check out StarbaseUGC.com to keep up to date on the latest developments on this series.
We can't wait for you all to play the episodes!

Steelers Welcome William Gay Back To Team
March 4, 2013 12:56 PM
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Steelers announced they have signed veteran cornerback William Gay.
The team said it is a three-year contract, but did not disclose financial terms.
Gay was originally selected by the Steelers in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL Draft.
He spent last season with the Arizona Cardinals, and had two interceptions, and three forced fumbles.
The team says in his five seasons with the Steelers he started eight postseason games and helped the Steelers win two AFC Championships and Super Bowl XLIII.

I have a tb mare, shes 10 year old has never been raced and has two small sarcoids under her belly near her back legs arnt affecting her in anyway and havent bothered her since they apeared havent changed shape or anything, any ideas or suggestions what to do?
Sarcoids are odd and hard to get rid of. They are a non-cancerous tumor. I just used Vecteryn on mine and it eventually fell off. My boy no longer has it on his lip :)
I would say that if they're not changing and don't bother her, I would leave them well alone. They can be very tricky to deal with, and sometimes end up being "irritated" and get worse if people attempt to treat them.
If I were you, I would let them be. They don't pose an aesthetic issue if they're that far under her belly, so I would just keep an eye on them, and if they change in any way, that's when I'd get in contact with the vet.
If they are small and dry just leave them alone. In some cases they just stay that way for long time. I agree with the above poster: if you start messing with them it can get worse, not better.
Georgia, I agree with everyone else, I would not touch them until you have to. I'm not sure if you've seen this thread, but I am in the midst of aggressively treating sarcoids, but only because my mare's body sort of made the decision for us. For months, I had just been watching them since they were staying the same shape/size. Almost overnight, the sarcoid turned into a large, bleeding nodule, so then we began treating.
The "rule of thumb" advice I got from one vet was to leave them alone if they're the size of a pea; if they get to be the size of a grape, it might be time to act. Obviously that would be a judgement call for the owner/vet. Good luck!
There is something I found in my "The Horse.com Magazine" tonight. It's called XXTERRA. It's an herbal paste made to treat sarcoids. It's sold to vets ONLY so if you want some (sold in 1oz and 2oz) then you'll have to contact your vet and have your horse inspected. Then you two can talk from there. Best of luck!

Kathleen Mueller has seen rock band Bon Jovi live "between 5 and 10 times," but none of those performances came close to the experience she had with the group on Saturday night.
Kathleen Mueller has seen rock band Bon Jovi live "between 5 and 10 times," but none of those performances came close to the experience she had with the group on Saturday night.
The North Eastham, Mass., resident was among the 2,000 or so who caught a free, impromptu concert by the "Livin' On A Prayer" quartet at Mohegan Sun when it performed for a small crowd because of the statewide travel ban that kept many people from the venue.
"This show was so special because it was a once-in-a-lifetime event that will likely never happen again.
There were no assigned seats. Fans literally could walk right up to the front of the stage," Mueller said.
She left her central Massachusetts home about 4 p.m. on Saturday with friends and got to Mohegan Sun in time for the last five songs of his spontaneous set.
Bon Jovi had planned to use Saturday's concert as the world kick-off for the band's "Because I Can" tour.
But when Gov. Dannel P. Malloy restricted travel in Connecticut Saturday night, organizers knew the crowd would be light.
Instead of canceling the concert, Bon Jovi invited everybody at the casino to watch them play a 2-hour set.
The band will return to Mohegan Sun on Oct. 25 with its tour, and honor all tickets from Saturday's show.
"Bon Jovi recognizes how much preparation it takes for fans to attend a concert and they wanted to honor that the best way they know how," the band said on its website.
"It was just something that will never happen again, to be able to see them with such a small crowd, and with no limitations on where you could move within the theater. It was just magic," Mueller said. "It was slow going on the roads, but wow, are we ever happy that we did it."

ASCOT, England (AP) — Pre-race favorite Toronado used a decisive surge over the final furlong to win the Queen Anne Stakes, the opening race of the Royal Ascot meeting.
Toronado, the 4-5 shot ridden by Richard Hughes, won the 1-mile Group 1 race by 3/4 of a length ahead of 6-1 Verrazano. Anodi, 9-1, was third.
It was the 4-year-old colt's first race since last August and gave trainer Richard Hannon a winner at Royal Ascot for the first time since taking over the family stable from his father, Richard Sr., six months ago.
Toronado's run also gave Qatari Sheik Joaan Al Thani his first win of the week as he looks to establish Al Shaqab Racing's position in elite horse racing.
The day began with the traditional royal carriage procession along the course. Queen Elizabeth II was joined by Prince Phillip and Prince Harry in her carriage.

Unable to update the new Sylink.xml
Hi all,
I would like to move some of my users to another SEPM Server via Sylink.xml but I am fail. Last 3 months, I had tested successful but not after upgrading the SEPM & SEP Client to 12.1.3.
Please kindly advise and assist.
Comments 10 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Try this documentHow to deploy/update communication settings from your SEPM to your SEP clients machines with SEP 12.1 RU2
what is the error message?
did you try sylink drop?
Help Link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=54619
You can export the sylink file from new server and deploy on clients using deployment tool. Below link help you to restore it.
1) take a system connected to the old SEPM where no attempts to move it have been done
2) copy its current sylink.xml to another folder as backup
3) replace the sylink.xml with a new one in the way to like
4) if it does not work, open and compare the currently used sylink.xml with the backup copy of the old one
5A) if they are the same, the replacement failed, we need focus on steps you apply to do it
5B) if they are different but the SEP agent is still connected to the old SEPM, it means that the SEP agent is failing to connect to the new SEPM and it then fails over to a backup copy of the sylink.xml (not the one created by you but another one automatically created by SEP for such cases), hence focus on the connectivity to the new SEPM.
NOTE: I don't mean a bit-by-bit comparison of the sylink.xml files, just look at the list of SEPM servers at the moment

Service and sacrifice noted: Collier Honor Flight set to make initial D.C. trip by Veterans Day
When the United States suddenly found itself a combatant against two imperial powers in World War II, the outlook was pretty grim. Still reeling from the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese fleet, the men and women of the "Greatest Generation" simultaneously confronted the Nazi regime in Germany, which had swept across continental Europe, and was strangling Great Britain's transoceanic lifeline with the U-boat war in the Atlantic.
Our citizens answered the call, and after four years brought both conflicts to successful resolution. Now, with many of them in their last days, the generation of their children and grandchildren is called on to help honor those veterans, and show them that what they did — literally saving the world — has not been forgotten. This is the mission of Honor Flight.
"If not now, when? And if not us, who?" asked Lois Bolin rhetorically, echoing Ronald Reagan.
She has been working with the fledgling Collier County "Flight Hub" or chapter of Honor Flight, helping to raise awareness for their goal. Honor Flight flies military veterans, many octogenarians or older, in their 80s and 90s, to Washington, D.C., specifically so they can tour the memorials on the National Mall honoring their service.
"There were 1,000 World War II veterans a day dying in this country," said Bolin. "Now it's down to 600 a day," with so many already gone. Honor Flight wants to let them know their service has not been forgotten.
After Navy veteran Debi Strand and Air Force veteran Sean Lux served as Guardian for last month's Honor Flight out of Bradenton, they decided it was time for Collier County to honor its own. Honor Flight Networks, the national umbrella organization, readily approved the new Collier County chapter as an official Honor Flight Hub.
Strand said that she and Lux felt a sense of urgency to launch a local Honor Flight Hub when she learned that there were more than 135 veterans who have been waiting to take the flight from Southwest Florida, adding, "Some veterans on this list have already waited two years, and many of those are no longer with us. "
The Collier County Honor Flight group has become the fastest-growing in the country.
"We're the youngest Flight Hub in the country, and the fastest to fly," said Bolin. "We've raised $60,000 in three weeks."
The group's inaugural flight will take off from Southwest Florida on Nov. 9, in time to escort 50 veterans to the nation's capital for Veterans' Day ceremonies, along with 50 "guardians." Each veteran is paired with a guardian to make the trip easier for him or her. Guardians pay their own way, estimated at $400, and there is no charge for the veterans being flown to the capital.
"It's an ambitious endeavor to get a flight out by this Veterans Day," said Lux. "But we have to try."
Flight priorities are given to World War II, Korean War and critically ill veterans who have not seen their respective memorials in Washington, D.C. There is no charge for veterans making their once in a lifetime flight.
Naples resident Wayne Smith, a much-decorated Air Force pilot who spent five years as a POW in North Vietnam after being shot down in his F-4 Phantom, has been selected as honorary chairman for Collier County Honor Flight.
The national Honor Flight headquarters has committed to match Collier County's first $10,000 received for their first trip to Washington, D.C., which is estimated to cost between $70,000 and 100,000. Collier County Honor Flight is preparing corporate sponsor packages to help facilitate the initial journey, and several individual donations of up to $5,000 have already been received from benefactors who preferred to remain anonymous.
To learn more on Collier County Honor Flight or how to sponsor a veteran or become a guardian, contact Sean Lux at (239) 777-9295 or write to firstname.lastname@example.com. Donations can be made to The Community Foundation of Collier County and earmarked for Collier County Honor Flight. The group's website is under construction.
Collier County Honor Flight, which is in the process of obtaining its own nonprofit status, is currently housed at the Community Foundation of Collier County. To reach out to veterans and the community, the new Honor Flight is partnering with the Military Officer Association of Southwest Florida, Collier County Veterans History Project and Naples Spirit of 45.

What do a bathroom, museum, and garden have in common? Cool architecture.
The Candoro Marble Works off Maryville Pike is like a little slice of Renaissance Italy in South Knoxville. A masterwork of marble craftsmanship that harkens to florid Old World European design, with a wrought-iron door, hand-carved flourishes and Tuscan columns, it's a bizarre anachronism in the middle of blue-collar Vestal, circa 2012.
"You're in this scruffy little corner of town, and there's this little Italian villa," says Matt Edens, a longtime local real estate writer and former Knox Heritage board member.
According to Knox Heritage Executive Director Kim Trent, the building was a showroom for the Candoro Marble Company, designed by prominent Knoxville architect Charles Barber (1887-1962) of Barber & McMurry. "It was basically a way for them to show off what they could do." She laughs, "When I first moved here, I immediately wanted to move in."
Today, the building serves as a museum and, occasionally, an events center of sorts for the Vestal community. But there's a lesson in the fact of its unlikely existence. That being, while Knoxville may not be a major urban center, due to its singular clashing of rural and urban sensibilities and unique cultural heritage, it's a good place to see some weird, wonderful architecture in some unexpected places. "There's always been pretty interesting architecture here," says Edens. "Some of it seems pretty unlikely. You turn a corner and say, 'Whoa!'"
For instance: It's a rare day that people walk out of a public restroom having had a memorable experience. But when you mention the public facilities at the park off Cherokee Boulevard in Sequoyah Hills, people usually know what you're talking about.
Because the restroom there, a beautiful little beveled stone chapel with women's facilities on the left and men's on the right, is just that memorable. And according to city parks and recreation director Joe Walsh, the neighborhood residents wouldn't have it any other way.
"We'd been trying to put in a permanent restroom in the park for a while, and we'd worked with the neighborhood association because those aren't necessarily the nicest amenities," Walsh says. "They asked us to make them as nice as possible. We had a budget, but they offered to chip in."
As it happened, the total cost came in within the city's budget of about $150,000 for the 600-square-foot facility, even with the perks. "It's got nicer gutters, a more elaborate interior, better material on the outside," Walsh says. "It's closer to the architecture you'd find in Sequoyah Hills."
Perhaps less graceful in character than other examples, the Airplane Filling Station at 6829 Clinton Highway is nonetheless a little slice of classic Americana, a bit of roadside bizarrerie that harkens to the popularity of both a hero of American aviation and mimetic architecture of the 1930s.
"Brothers Elmer and Henry Nickle built the filling station to look like the Charles Lindbergh airplane, the Spirit of St. Louis," says Roch Bernard, who heads up the Airplane Filling Station Preservation Association, a non-profit committee that is working to preserve the site, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
"This was the early 1930s, right around the time of Lindbergh's flight, and it was kind of a gimmick to attract customers," he continues. "There was a lot of mimetic architecture in those days — roadside buildings in the shape of pigs and planes and all kinds of stuff."
The filling station remained in business until the mid-1960s, Bernard says. For several years after, it served various other purposes; it was a mobile home repair supply, a bait and tackle store, a car lot (more than once), even a head shop, Bernard says.
In 2003, a local antiques dealer came in and placed a down payment on the property. Bernard joined in, and the Preservation Association was born. The organization is a nonprofit, and the volunteer members hope to find a new permanent owner interested in preserving the character of the old station.
There is a prosaic area of North Knoxville, in Fountain City, where, on the journey past Central High School toward Broadway, one suddenly experiences a brief, beautiful ripple in time and space. Because on the right, the flow of suburban clutter is suddenly interrupted by a little slice of the orient, a beautifully-kept little garden with stone walls, trails, exotic plants, a century-old bungalow surrounded by a pagoda/pumphouse and other oriental flourishes.
The property is known as Savage House and Gardens; its construction began in 1914, and continued as a labor of love for Arthur and Hortense Savage.
"They were avid gardeners; it earned Arthur the title of 'father of rock gardening' in Knoxville," Trent says. "For a time, they lived in the bungalow next to the garden, and continued to work.
The bungalow itself, where the Hortenses lived for a time, is a neat little cottage with a weatherboard frame and a hip roof, a gabled front porch, and a greenhouse the couple added on a few years later. Gradually, they built the elaborate gardens around it in stages and layers, heavily influenced by their extensive travels abroad. "A lot of oriental influence was common at the time it was constructed, all over the world," says Trent.
Over the years, they added various pools, a couple of water towers, the pumphouse, a rose arch overlooking a horseshoe-shaped pool, a sundial pedestal. The property is no longer occupied; it's owned by the proprietors of the nearby Montessori school. It's listed now on the National Register of Historic Places.
"They weren't architects; they were just a couple who wanted to create a beautiful place in East Tennessee," Trent says.

Document Number: 6797State Efforts to Promote Reading and Literary Activities in Communities - Rates of reading in the United States have been declining for at least two decades, with the steepest decline occurring among young adults. Fewer than half of adults read literature � poetry, plays, short stories or novels � in their leisure time. At the current rate of decline, literary reading will virtually disappear in the next half-century. Few would dispute the importance of reading for children yet the importance of literary reading in adulthood is not emphasized enough. This brief examines ways for states to promote reading and literary activities for families and adults, including reading of fiction or nonfiction for pleasure.

A second goal of the ASB climate change work during Phase II was to sample and compare trace gas fluxes from the various traditional and alternative LUS at the benchmark sites and to identify the soil-related, land-management and other factors influencing these fluxes. In addition to CO2, deforestation and subsequent land uses emit methane and nitrous oxide, two other greenhouse gases. Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas in terms of amounts and effects in the atmosphere. Most well drained upland soils serve as a net sink of methane through the consumption of methane by methanotrophic micro-organisms in the soil. However, there is increasing evidence that the size of this sink diminishes when land is converted from forest to other uses. For example, conversion to pastures in the humid tropics can result in a net emission of methane from the soil through the process of methanogenesis (Steudler et al, 1996; Keller et al, 1997).

I get this question a lot and so I decided to turn it into a post. Hit the jump to see my top favorite makeup brands.
Brushes from E.L.F are all that and then some!
Dear E.L.F. ,
Are you kidding me? Is this a joke? Exactly HOW can these brushes be so soft and apply makeup so beautifully AND be this affordable? Please explain.
I know I'm always dramatical, y'all but I kid you not–these brushes are fabulous. E.L.F. really surprised me with these. First up, let's rap on the brushes from the Mineral 5 Piece Bamboo Brush Set. Check this out…

If there is one brand the Clumps kids want to see more reviews of, it would be e.l.f. And rightfully so. After all, Clumps of Mascara is all about products for those new to makeup. And with e.l.f. having products that start at $1, why shouldn't they be highlighted on the site? Right you are, sugar plums. Check out the video review and quick FOTD (face of the day) of one of my many e.l.f discoveries.

According to his ideals of continuity and economy of labor, Jefferson preferred to spread the activity of plowing over the whole year and, whenever possible, he tried to make a single plowing serve a double purpose. In 1794, for instance, his rotation plan called for combining the actions of turning under the vetch with the "flush-plowing" for the potatoes and peas.
The Pennsylvania barshare plow was the form Jefferson preferred. A "short and light" one he bought for eight dollars from George Logan of Philadelphia was the model for Monticello's plows. And, from the early 1790s, the moldboard of choice was Jefferson's own moldboard of least resistance. He declared a barshare plow with his moldboard made at Monticello in 1810 to be "the finest plow which has ever been constructed in America."
Jefferson's slaves became accomplished plowmen (and women). They began their training early. Jefferson said that thirteen-year-old Robin "works well at the plough already." The Monticello harvest records indicate that the female farmworkers did some of the plowng. Jefferson's plan for the 1796 wheat harvest reserved eight laborers to "keep half the ploughs agoing": Rachel, Mary, Nanny, Sally, Thamar, Iris, Scilla, and Phyllis. Jefferson wrote his overseer in 1818 that, "when slack of work," the female spinners "might go to the plough."
Among the documented references to plowing found in Jefferson's letters and records are the following:
1775: "A large plough with 4. oxen ploughed 24. furrows half a mile long 10.I. broad & 6.I. deep in a day, which is about 1 1/4 acres."[1]
1793: "Every year, in my rotation, carries either the plough or the scythe through every field."[2]
1796: "Ploughing days have been this year as follows. Jan. 6. Feb. 15. Mar. 20. Apr. 25. May 17. June 19. July 23. Aug. 24. Sep. 20. Oct. 19. Nov. 24. Dec. 10 = 222." [3]
1798: "If the plough be in truth the most useful of the instruments known to man, it's perfection cannot be an idle speculation" [4]
1813: "Ploughing deep, your recipe for killing weeds, is also the recipe for almost every good thing in farming. The plough is to the farmer what the wand is to the sorcerer. It's effect is really like sorcery . . . . We now plough horizontally following the curvatures of the hills and hollows, on the dead level, however crooked the lines may be. Every furrow thus acts as a resevoir to receive and retain the waters, all of which go to the benefit of the growing plant, instead of running off into streams . . . . In point of beauty nothing can exceed that of the waving lines and rows winding along the face of the hills and vallies."[5]

Breaking News — Bishop Gene Robinson announces retirement
The text of his retirement announcement is listed, in full, below.
First, I'd like add a few comments myself. I spent time with Bishop Robinson less than a month ago — something I should have shared with you before now. He was speaking at a gay-friendly church in Sherwood, Arkansas, a suburb of Little Rock.
It wasn't an Episcopal Church, by the way. It's a church that was founded by an Assemblies of God-educated, Presbyterian preacher. The audience at Open Door Community Church numbered only about 90 people.
This is a church where people cry a lot, I supposed. It had 100 seats and Kleenex boxes everywhere. More than 40 of them, by my count.
A Grammy winning artist, Cynthia Clawson, sang a song called "This Is to Mother You" — as a tribute to men and women who have dead mothers or mothers who have disowned them because of their sexual orientation. I looked around the room, and saw pain in so many eyes.
As Robinson prepared to preach, a pulled-pork barbecue luncheon warmed in the oven. Jay Bakker, son of evangelists Jim and the late Tammy Faye Bakker, sat attentively in the crowd. A few rows over sat Peggy Campolo, wife of Bill Clinton spiritual mentor Tony Campolo.
Robinson's message was aimed at gay churchgoers who are despised and rejected and aquainted with grief. The gay rights movement's march will prevail, he said. Full equality will be achieved. And some of the folks in the audience, he said, may even live to see it all happen.
Before the sermon, I asked the bishop a couple of questions and the subject of retirement never came up. I'm sure he was saving that news for his New Hampshire church family. "What are you doing here?" was the first thing he asked me, expressing surprise that I'd left the Lexington Herald-Leader. He smiled warmly and acted genuinely pleased to see me. I introduced him to my youngest child. We talked about Robinson's folks — sweet people who live in central
Arkansas Kentucky who I interviewed seven years ago. His parents were, quite understandably and justifiably, a bit media shy. And they weren't talking to hoardes of reporters. But Gene Robinson met me and trusted me enough to let me interview his parents. Given the green light by their world famous son, back in Oct. 2003, they shared with me what they went through when they learned about Gene's sexual orientation — and what it was like to see him in the eye of an international ecclesiastical hurricane.
My story ran here in Little Rock on a Sunday morning. Bright and early Monday, I got a kind e-mail from the bishop. He had enjoyed the story.
It's not my task to determine whether gays should — or should not — serve as successors to the Apostles. I know so many good people on both sides of this debate and my task, journalistically, is to be a good referee — not an advocate. But I think people of goodwill can agree on this much: It's nice that the bishop can (hopefully) live out the rest of his days with fewer death threats and less hate mail. And New Hampshire is a beautiful place to retire.
Bishop of New Hampshire Calls for Election of Successor
Announcement courtesy of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire
Convention of the Diocese of New Hampshire
November 6, 2010
I am using this time for closing remarks to announce to you an important decision I have made regarding our common life. On January 5, 2013, I will retire as your Bishop. To that end, I am hereby calling for the election of a Bishop Coadjutor for the Diocese of New Hampshire, who will succeed me in 2013. While this is an excruciatingly long period of time – two years and two months – from now, this period of time is essential for a smooth and unhurried process of transition, for the diocese and for me.
Let me share with you the reasons for announcing my retirement at this time:
I wanted to make this announcement to you in person. While I might have delayed this announcement a few more months, I could not imagine doing so by letter. I have been in the Diocese of New Hampshire 35 years, the last 24 of which have been in a diocesan position. Our time together has always focused on "relationship," and I could not imagine changing this relationship without telling you so personally.
By January, 2013, I will be approaching my 66th birthday. (This is where you say, "But bishop, you look so young!") I will have been a bishop over nine years, a reasonable and typical tenure for a bishop my age in the Episcopal Church, in what I consider to be one of the great and healthy dioceses of The Episcopal Church. Since the very beginning, I have attempted to discern God's will for me and for you, and this decision comes after much prayer and discernment about what God wants for us at this time. I received the diocese under my pastoral care in good shape, thanks to Bishops Phil Smith and Doug Theuner, and believe that I will be passing it along to my successor ALSO in good shape. I have tried to be a faithful steward of the trust and responsibility you placed in me. Only you can be the judge of that.
The fact is, the last seven years have taken their toll on me, my family, and YOU. Death threats, and the now-worldwide controversy surrounding your election of me as Bishop, have been a constant strain, not just on me, but on my beloved husband, Mark, who has faithfully stood with me every minute of the last seven years, and in some ways, YOU. While I believe that these attitudes, mostly outside the Diocese, have not distracted me from my service to you, I would be less than honest if I didn't say that they have certainly added a burden and certain anxiety to my episcopate. While my resignation may not stop such pressures completely, it does seem to be the right time for me to initiate the nearly-two-year process for your election of a new bishop. A three-month overlap will allow for a smooth and appropriate transition.
There are still things left for me to do. First and foremost, there is continuing to be a good bishop for you during the next two years. I don't intend to be a "lame duck," as you deserve a bishop during this interim that is "on all burners" for the remaining two years. I intend to continue to be fully engaged as your Bishop in the remaining time we lead the diocese together. You can do YOUR part by not sweeping me aside, either literally or emotionally, over the next two years, while I lead as your Bishop Diocesan.
Let me assure you that I am in good health – having lost 25 pounds put on over the last seven years in part by eating all your good food!! Especially that coconut cream pie in Colebrook! I continue in my fifth year of sobriety, which has been a total blessing to me. I continue to treasure my work and ministry with you, and it is a total joy and privilege to serve you and to serve God in this holy collaboration with you. After two more final, vigorous years with you, there are other things that I hope to do, in a new chapter in my life and ministry.
In the meantime, there is mission and ministry to be done. I have been on retreat with the senior staff, and we have set priorities for the next two years. My first priority during these two years will be to continue to support, nurture and pastor our clergy, lay leaders and congregations. Our School for Vestries, under the able leadership of our new Canon for Lay Leadership, Judith Esmay, is the fulfillment of one of my dreams for us. We will continue our focus on stewardship, vitality and leadership development in congregations. We will continue to be responsible stewards of our finances. We will continue to work with congregations in finding the best clergy available for ministry here in New Hampshire. Our fantastic diocesan staff will continue to see, as their primary mission, serving you, the people of the diocese. The Diocesan Council will shepherd us through a new and exciting accountability process for Fair Share giving. Our Mission Resources Committee, under the leadership of Benge Ambrogi, will be freed to focus on new and creative ministry projects in small and large congregations alike. It is such an exciting time in the life of our diocese, and I intend to jump into it with both feet!
For my own ministry as your bishop, both within and beyond the diocese, I will continue my work of evangelizing the unchurched and the "de-churched." I get to talk to probably more unchurched people than any other bishop in The Episcopal Church. On college campuses, speaking to various public forums, and also in my work with gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people, I get the opportunity to make the case for God and for God's Church – either to those who have never known God's unimaginable love, or to those who have been ill-treated, in the name of a judgmental God, and who have left the Church. Recent news brings us the tragic stories of teenagers who have taken their own lives because religion tells them they are an abomination before God and who believe that their lives are doomed to despair and unhappiness. I get to tell them a different story. By all accounts, I have had the privilege of bringing many people into the Church for the first time, or convincing them that the Church is becoming a safe place to which they can return with a reasonable expectation of welcome. This is EVANGELISM, for me, pure and simple. This is my attempt at fulfilling "the Great Commission" to go forth into the world, baptizing in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit – a calling not just for a bishop, but for each one of us.
I must admit to some anxiety about this change, but I've got plenty of time to deal with that. Since I was ordained at the ripe old age of 26, the Church has been my whole life. I love getting up at 4:30 in the morning to pray and to begin work answering your emails and questions and to respond to the needs of our clergy and congregations. Sundays continue with my weekly, official visitations in congregations which have enlivened, nourished and excited me for much of the last decade. I look forward to continuing in being intimately connected with you and your ministries. But as we are told in Ecclesiastes: "to everything there is a season." And now it seems to be the season to continue that ministry among you over the next two years, as you carefully choose your next bishop. He or she has no idea what a joy and what a privilege it will be to serve you, the people of the Diocese of New Hampshire
I have talked with the Standing Committee about my decision and they will meet on December 9th with Bishop Matthews of the House of Bishops Pastoral Development Office. The Standing Committee will begin the process of choosing both an Episcopal Search Committee and an Episcopal Transition Committee, which will begin their work in the new year. About a year later, in early 2012, nominees will be announced, with an election in the late spring of 2012. Allowing for the necessary consent process at General Convention, we will consecrate our new Bishop on (tentatively, subject to consent) Saturday, September 15, 2012. As with my own election, there will be a few months of overlap for the new bishop to get acclimated and for a smooth transition to occur. On Saturday, January 5, 2013, I will pass over my authority, and the Bishop's Staff which symbolizes it, to our new bishop, with joy and thanksgiving for what has gone before and for what is to come under new leadership.
I make this announcement with nothing but praise and thanksgiving to God for having the privilege of serving you. While I know that I have not been God's perfect servant during this time, I will leave in early 2013 knowing that I have given this ministry my best efforts. YOU are, and will continue to be, the reason I have not only survived, but thrived, during this tumultuous time in the wider Church. New Hampshire is always the place I remain, simply, "the Bishop." This is the one place on earth where I am not "the gay Bishop." I believe that you elected me because you believed me to be the right person to lead you at this time. The world has sometimes questioned that, but I hope you never did. You always treat me as a human being, a beloved child of God, and an eager servant of Our Lord. That is what I have tried to be, all along the way – and with every ounce of my being, I will continue. And God willing, I will leave this office in 2013 with even more love, more affection and more gratitude for you than when I assumed this role.
I know that this will have come as a shock to many of you, especially given how much I love being your Bishop and love the work we have undertaken together. I even hope that my energy and enthusiasm for being your Bishop has caused you to forget that I am approaching retirement age. But there it is!
There will be plenty of time in the future for remembrances, thanksgivings and reflection on our time together. For now, though, there is important work to be done. We need to let our fine Standing Committee and the future Search Committee do their jobs, and in the meantime, get on with being the Church and preaching the Gospel in this part of God's vineyard. New Hampshire has made a name for itself in the last few years, and although unwittingly, we have been on the national and international stage. It has given us the opportunity to proclaim God's love for ALL of God's children in profound ways. I do not expect that to be diminished in any way as we move through the next two years of transition and as you move into a new partnership with your new bishop! All I can say is that it is the most profound, blessed and exciting honor to continue as your bishop. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for loving me and working alongside me in bringing the Church in New Hampshire and the world ever closer to the Reign of God.
It's been a great, collaborative ride, and it will continue to be. All in the name of God, who loves us beyond our wildest imagining, and who will continue to lead us into the future as surely and as faithfully as in the past. Thanks be to God.
And now, I will ask our outgoing Standing Committee President to lead us in prayer, sending us into the world, to care for the People of God, preach the Good News, and continue as faithful witnesses to the Gospel.
The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, IX Bishop of New Hampshire

Lee schools select Graham as next superintendent
Nancy Graham
FORT MYERS, Fla. - After nearly three hours of contentious discussions, the Lee County School Board selected Naples High School principal Nancy Graham as its new superintendent. Shortly after 1 p.m. the Board broke to send Graham a message to see if she would accept the position.
Graham would replace Joseph Burke who is retiring as superintendent on June 19th.
This morning's meeting pitted two factions against each other over the best approach to take in replacing Burke. Last week the Board had agreed to replace Burke quickly from a short list of candidates that included Graham.
The following day Board member Don Armstrong questioned if the district wouldn't be better served by conducting a national search for a new superintendent. Even today, Armstrong suggested bringing back Burke rather than letting him retire, a proposal quickly shot down by other board members.

Eat Smart Play Hard Visits Edina Public Schools
Oct. 31, 2013
By Andrew Doughty
University of Minnesota student-athletes visited Countryside Elementary School in Edina on Wednesday, October 30th as part of the "Eat Smart, Play Hard" program.
"Eat Smart, Play Hard" is an interactive and engaging program with a mission of educating elementary school children on the importance of eating healthy and exercising. Student-athletes from football, women's swimming and diving, rowing, and baseball reviewed different forms of basic physical activity, healthy alternative snacks, and making smart decisions for your body.
"It's a great chance for kids to visually see the importance of proper nutrition and physical activity," said Chris Hawthorne, a senior on the football team. "It is also a tremendous opportunity to really connect with kids in promoting daily dietary habits and daily exercises."
The group of eager children from kindergarten through third grade was also treated to entertaining videos created by former Gopher student-athletes Josh Hall (Men's Swimming & Diving) and Lucy Ennis (Women's Gymnastics). The videos further stressed the message of moderate portions of healthy snacks and exploring new ways to get adequate exercise.
The program concluded as the student-athletes passed out fruit and granola bars to the inquisitive group of students prior to spending a few moments answering entertaining and mildly amusing questions.

Greatest Ever
I'm sure this has been a thread many times and I've just missed it, but who would yall say is/was the greatest fighter in the UFC and why? Matt Hughes would have to be my pick (being a welterweight myself). He beat Royce Gracie and quickly. No, Royce wasn't in his prime, but still beating the winner of the first UFC is an accomplishment.

CUPERTINO, Calif. Sept. 23, 1999 - Symantec Corporation (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced that the beta version of Norton AntiVirus 2000 was named Best Buy by Computer Shopper. In the most recent edition of the online publication, scheduled for delivery on October 1, editors wrote, "This latest version [of Norton AntiVirus] takes a few leaps forward, both in features and overall look and feel . . . Anyone with a PC needs a good anti-virus prescription, and Norton writes the best." Norton AntiVirus 2000 is now available.
"Being named a Best Buy by Computer Shopper, one of the industry's most authoritative guides for intelligent technology purchases, is noteworthy," said Enrique Salem, vice president of Symantec's Security and Assistance Business Unit. "Symantec remains committed to continuously improving its products and services in order to better meet the needs of a rapidly changing computing environment."
According to editors, one of the most significant enhancements in Norton AntiVirus 2000 is targeted at reducing the risk of malicious Internet-borne code. Norton AntiVirus 2000 checks attachments to incoming e-mail by setting itself up as a local proxy server. "Given this year's headlines regarding macro-based viruses and worms being distributed through Internet mail systems, this is a welcome addition," editors wrote. All POP3-based e-mail programs can be set up; the most popular applications are automatically recognized. Editors also praised the product's flexibility in allowing users to turn off the feature, if necessary, and the ability to plug in to Netscape Navigator in order to check programs downloaded from the Internet.
Editors also singled out how the comprehensive scanning, reporting, and scheduling features of Norton AntiVirus 2000 integrate with a new graphical interface to ease setup and use. "In addition to some welcome cosmetic changes to the program itself, the interface now offers easier access to more information," wrote editors. "The left side of the screen has four categories [System Status, Scan for Viruses, Reports, and Scheduling] which, when selected, trigger a display of information and options on the right side." These options enable users to view the date of their virus definitions or rescue disk set and other relevant information, select the media to be searched as well as the settings to be used, view a Quarantine/activity/known viruses log, and scan or automatically run the update program.
"Of all of the anti-virus programs we've tested, Norton AntiVirus 2000 delivers the most comprehensive feature set and practically foolproof performance . . . Norton AntiVirus [is] the most dependable program we have encountered over the years . . . it's a powerful weapon in the never-ending war," editors concluded.
