Elizabeth Forward softball team edges Highlands, 3-2
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Undeterred by Highlands' game-tying home run in the top of the seventh inning, the Elizabeth Forward softball team scored a run in the bottom of the inning for a WPIAL Class AAA first-round victory.
Mercedesz Boyce scored on Lauren Cain's single for a 3-2 victory over the Golden Rams at Hempfield.
The Warriors (13-6) will play South Fayette in the quarterfinals 2 p.m. Tuesday at Baldwin.
Highlands (7-6) saw its season end with an opening-round playoff loss for the fourth straight season.
Down 2-1 with one out in the seventh, Golden Rams sophomore Katelyn Kuniak blasted her second home run of the season over the left field fence to tie the game.
Jessica Cartia led off the bottom of the seventh with a single. After Boyce entered the game, she was sacrificed to second by Lexi Ribarchak, who went 3 for 3.
Ashley Baker's bloop single sent Boyce to third and set the stage for Cain's single to make a winner out of freshman pitcher Lauren Mathews.
"Unfortunately, they get that blast in the seventh that tied the game up," Elizabeth Forward coach Harry Rutherford said. "It was a little disheartening, but I got a ninth-grader out there in only her second year of pitching, so this is a lot to expect out a freshman to come into these types of games."
Despite enduring two layoffs with the rainy weather last week, both teams played well defensively.
Katie Grosholz led off the fifth with a single, and Melissa Gustafson bunted and was retired. Grosholz strayed too far off second and was thrown out by Kelsey Benedek.
After Kuniak's homer in the seventh, Olivia Graff walked and Gorsholz attempted to bunt. Cartia dived in front of the plate to catch the bunt and fired to get Graff, who had broken for second.
"We train that way all year," Rutherford said. "When we first start practicing, I drive it into their heads that it's not only one play, there's always a second play to be made."
With Grosholz striking out just four, Highlands defenders handled the other 15 outs flawlessly.
"They're a group of good-hearted girls," Golden Rams coach Jenn Koprivnikar said. "Our outfielders and infielders both cover a lot of ground, and our catcher (Holly Penn) does a good job making the calls on high pops."
Highlands took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third. Cassidy Runyan's single brought home Gustafson.
The Warriors quickly tied it. McKenna Kern's single scored Courtney Hrabosky.
Elizabeth Forward took a 2-1 lead when Kern drew a bases-loaded walk.
"The strike zone looked tight, at least to us, but we told Katie she had to work through it," Koprivnikar said. "And she did."

- butter
- icing sugar
- milk
- food paste colouring, 2 types
To make the icing, put the butter into the mixing bowl of an electric mixer and blend on high speed until mixed. It's best to use butter at room temperature.
Pour in half of the icing sugar and blend until fully incorporated. Add the other half of the icing sugar and blend. Increase the mixing speed as the sugar and butter incorporate. Add milk and blend.
Put the buttercream icing into two separate bowls and, using a wooden skewer, add one food colouring to each until the icing is completely coloured. Don't worry if the colour is streaky.
Take a piping bag with a star nozzle, invert the bag over your hand and spoon in the first colour. Taking a skewer, make a cavity in that icing and spoon the second colour of icing into the cavity.
Push the buttercream down and pipe the icing on a cupcake to create a multicoloured swirl.

Here are a few muscle cars that changed hot rod history. 1965 Pontiac GTO This legendary coupe helped to ignite the muscle car era.

|Maternal multiple micronutrient supplementation has limited impact on micronutrient status of Bangladeshi infants compared with standard iron and folic acid supplementation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20053938 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Knowledge about the impact of maternal food and micronutrient supplementation on infant micronutrient status is limited. We examined the effect of maternal food and micronutrient supplementation on infant micronutrient status in the Maternal and Infant Nutrition Interventions in Matlab Trial. Pregnant women (n = 4436) were randomized to Early or Usual promotion of enrollment in a food supplementation program. In addition, they were randomly allocated to 1 of the following 3 types of daily micronutrient supplements provided from wk 14 of gestation to 3 mo postpartum: 1) folic acid and 30 mg iron (Fe30Fol); 2) folic acid and 60 mg iron; or 3) a multiple micronutrient including folic acid and 30 mg iron (MMS). At 6 mo, infant blood samples (n = 1066) were collected and analyzed for hemoglobin and plasma ferritin, zinc, retinol, vitamin B-12, and folate. The vitamin B-12 concentration differed between the micronutrient supplementation groups (P = 0.049). The prevalence of vitamin B-12 deficiency was lower in the MMS group (26.1%) than in the Fe30Fol group (36.5%) (P = 0.003). The prevalence of zinc deficiency was lower in the Usual food supplementation group (54.1%) than in the Early group (60.2%) (P = 0.046). There were no other differential effects according to food or micronutrient supplementation groups. We conclude that maternal multiple micronutrient supplementation may have a beneficial effect on vitamin B-12 status in infancy.

Three smart strategies for boosting lead quality
Over recent years, more website owners and marketers have become familiar with the term, Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO).
CRO is particularly attractive to search marketers who have witnessed the relentless rise of both click costs and SEO competition. Increasing conversion is a great way to control search costs.
However, when it comes to lead generation, most of the CRO strategies being discussed today focus on improving lead quantity, making the assumption that "more is better".
While more leads may indeed be a good thing, it's also possible to be flooded with too many unqualified leads that chew up sales resources. In this post, we'll take a different tack and look at three strategies aimed at boosting lead quality and hopefully overall sales throughput as well.
1. Unique Positioning and Meaningful Differentiation
Similarity to competitors and lack of meaningful differentiation is the number one killer of lead quality. If you're seen as a commodity, prospects are more likely to be talking to multiple companies, shopping for the lowest price.
Lack of meaningful differentiation is the norm in commodity markets. Do a Google search for "promotional products" and the messaging within ads is all the same. E.g.
- Quality options, printed with logos
- Put your logo on creative giveaways
- Get custom made corporate gifts with your logo printed
All different ways to say the same thing.
With every provider selling different flavours of vanilla, is it any wonder lead quality tends to be a problem in the promotional products industry (one example of many)?
Now consider a radically different strategy.
One company selling promotional products re-positioned themselves as an expert in "lumpy mail". In other words, direct mail that features enclosed promotional or novelty items to improve cut-through and impact.
Instead of just selling product, they sold business owners a compendium of professional direct mail letters containing sample sales copy that ties into each promotional item. For example, a letter with a pair of casino dice enclosed might have the headline, "Are you gambling with your <BLANK>?").
By providing clients with a value-added solution, they ended up selling all their promotional items at prices 30% to 50% higher than their competitors, in a competitive vacuum – and their customers were happy to pay.
2. Education-Based Marketing
Rather than going straight for the quick conversion and risk generating a non sales-ready lead, it often makes better sense to spend some time pre-educating prospects to understand what you do, how you're different, and how you can help them.
One of our clients was a property developer who was plagued by phone calls from under-qualified leads, who required a great deal of sales time in order to "bring up to speed" with basic information before they were ready to make a buying decision.
They adopted an education-based marketing approach that first invited prospects to request a Free Report explaining their methodology and approach to property development. The Report also discussed several qualification criteria for potential clients.
By pre-educating prospects in this way, the result was a smaller volume of much more qualified enquiries, resulting in significantly more new business overall.
3. Disqualifying Language
Disqualifying language tells prospects who shouldn't buy your product or service. Some marketers wonder whether to disclose price in their sales copy – especially if they're worried the prospect might shy away before they understand the value.
However, if you find yourself fielding enquiries from prospects whose budget is well below your minimum, doesn't it make sense to nip these calls in the bud? A little phrase like, "Our services start from as low as $15,000" can work wonders to deter clients who are looking for a much lower-priced solution. Then there are differences in the way people operate with respect to "price" and "value". Relentless price shoppers are often unpleasant to deal with and more trouble than they're worth.
Why not weed them out early, with something like this: "If you're the kind of person who isn't prepared to pay a little extra for a vastly superior product, this is not for you." If improving sales lead quality is on your radar, try these three strategies and watch your sales productivity and throughput soar.

Wolf leading pack among Democratic gubernatorial candidates
Support for Gov. Tom Corbett remains strong in heavily Republican Butler County, despite polling numbers that show low support statewide, the head of the county's Republican Committee said.
"I don't think if you took that poll in Butler County, the results would be the same," committee Chair Jeff Smith said.
A Quinnipiac University survey of 1,405 voters showed that 52 percent of registered Democrats would support Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf, and 33 percent of all respondents would vote for Corbett in the general election. The poll said that five other candidates also outpaced Corbett in support.
In a separate Franklin & Marshall College poll, Wolf, a York County businessman and former state revenue secretary, outpaced seven Democratic candidates in the May 20 primary, with 36 percent of voters saying they'd choose Wolf. Another 48 percent said they didn't know whom they'd choose.
Rebekah Smith, 34, of Butler, who participated in the Franklin & Marshall poll, said she doesn't yet know what Democrat she'd support.
"I'm pretty undecided at this point. I haven't had a chance to research everybody," said Smith, a registered Democrat taking courses at Kent State University.
Smith said her top issue in the campaign is jobs. The poll said that 25 percent of respondents think education is the most important issue facing Pennsylvania, while another 23 percent said unemployment and personal finances were most important.
As of last week, there were 57,808 active Republican registrations in Butler County, and 37,641 active Democratic registrations, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State.
Another Franklin & Marshall poll participant, Richard Baker, 86, of Cranberry, a retired minister, said he also didn't know whom he'd vote for in the Democratic field.
The state Democratic Committee recently decided not to endorse a candidate, but not because it thought anyone wasn't qualified, said Georgiann Kerr, head of the Butler County Democratic Committee.
"We have so many great candidates, we didn't want to endorse anyone," Kerr said. "The electorate will pick from whomever in the primary."
Kerr's group will host a candidate forum from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday at the American Legion in Butler, featuring governor, lieutenant governor and congressional candidates. Kerr said she didn't have a frontrunner for the governor's race, and discounted the polling.
"We'll just have to see on (Saturday). I haven't made up my mind yet," Kerr said.
Smith attributed Wolf's top showing to an early campaign ad blitz.
He said Corbett's low numbers weren't reflective of the governor's performance.
"The governor made a lot of tough choices when he came in," Smith said.
Wolf donated $10 million to his campaign, raised $3 million and far outpaced the others in his fundraising total.
Smith accused opponents of "distorting" Corbett's record. He pointed to critics who said Corbett cut education funding.
Smith said the "cuts" were actually school districts losing federal stimulus money.
"People have portrayed the governor as a bad guy," Smith said. "As time goes by, when there are two candidates instead of eight, when people start really looking at the record, you'll really start to see a change in the polls."

Road crews are preparing for what old man winter may bring Friday night and Saturday morning.
Workers with Lexington's Streets and Roads Division began pre-treating roads Friday morning in expectation of a winter storm that could bring several inches of snow to some parts of the state.
When it comes to snow removal, Lexington officials have a priority plan in place with first priority routes being major arteries in and out of the city, such as Main Street and Nicholasville Road. Priority two streets are major connecting streets, such as Red Mile Road and Loudon Avenue. Priority three streets are school bus routes. Priority four include streets into and out of subdivisions.
To create even more of a potential hassle, the Saturday before Christmas is typically the busiest shopping day of the year, meaning a lot of people could be out on snow covered roads Saturday morning.

WASHINGTON -- On top of confirmation fights waged by liberal Democrats, President Bush now faces trouble from a potential conservative Republican presidential candidate.
Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas has quietly put a hold on Bush's nomination of Julie Finley to be U.S. ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) because of her fervent support for abortion rights. Finley has been a major contributor to Bush and is a longtime Republican leader in the District of Columbia.
The White House contends that Finley's proposed diplomatic post has nothing to do with abortion. Brownback argues that the OSCE, a European multilateral organization, often gets into women's issues, including abortion, and that the U.S. representative there often pulls the organization away from radical initiatives. It is supposed to police human rights standards established by the 1975 Helsinki Accords.
Sources close to former Secretary of Commerce William Daley report that there is an outside chance that he still could challenge politically declining Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich in next year's Democratic primary.
Daley, the brother of Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, could have had the governor's nomination for the asking in 2002 but instead took a corporate position in San Antonio. Now back in Chicago, he is looking seriously at the governor's office but is more likely to try in 2010 than in 2006.
A footnote: Friends of Jim Edgar say the two-term Republican governor is seriously considering a comeback against Blagojevich in 2006. But most Republican politicians doubt that Edgar is serious about running.
Gov. Bill Richardson, who has been a big hit back home in New Mexico, has been striking out in some speeches around the country preparing the way for a possible place on the national Democratic ticket in 2008.
A recent fund-raising speech to a Hispanic-American group in Chicago fell flat. Democratic politicians complained about Richardson's trademark sarcastic sense of humor, well-known in Washington where he served in Congress and as secretary of energy.
Richardson, whose mother is Mexican, would be the first Latino on a national ticket. While several new Republican governors were succumbing to calls for higher taxes, Richardson was cutting rates in New Mexico. But he is considered a better bet for vice president than president.

Video: Dom Kennedy – "My Type Of Party"

Dom Kennedy's new video for "My Type Of Party" has about 15 girls who look like Karen Civil and a random-ass cameo from Sean Kingston. The Yellow Album drops in a few hours exclusively on Live Mixtapes.

Paul from Collingswood: I wouldn't be jumping up and down just yet for Hillary Clinton for president. The job she did as secretary of state was just OK.
During her tenure she didn't establish any precedents, she didn't make any doctrines or many diplomatic breakthroughs. Let's just say OK, maybe a C.
What she is responsible for, her and the president, are four dead Americans in Benghazi. For that she should go back to Arkansas and hide.
Anonymous: When I look around at the ads in these papers, poor St. Valentine he must be turning over in his grave.
Valentine's Day is not meant to buy these sleazy underwear for women. That's not part of the love; it is part of sex. Candy, flowers and a little jewelry, that's enough. None of this stuff, and who is buying it, young people. All they think about is sex, sex, sex. This is a disgrace.
Marge from Blenheim: I just want to thank the best delivery person for the Courier-Post, Mike Farley, who always has the paper on my back step early in the day rain, snow or shine. Keep up the good work, Mike.
Anonymous: Gun control will not work it gives the government more power over our lives. When I was young, you could order a gun through the mail it came right to your house no questions asked. There were no mass shootings.
The problem today is parents don't raise their kids right plus there is no God in the schools so kids don't have any morals. Mass shootings are common now unfortunately. Gun control will not work.
Ed from Runnemede: In answer to Earl from Collingswood I am a Republican who voted for Obama.
I looked on my computer why Romney didn't run for a second term as governor of Massachusetts, and the answer was no one would vote for him. He was a horrible governor. Infrastructure was failing, debt was rampant, unemployment was 11 percent, and he was the man that said he would create 12 million jobs his first year as president in office.
The only good thing he did as governor was reform Massachusetts health care, which is the same as Obama's health care.
Anonymous from Deptford: Since a few judges in Philadelphia got away with giving away some free tickets for people who committed offenses, I think we should all get our money back for the red-light camera tickets we got. What do you think?

DENVER, Colo. (AP) A former Aurora teacher involved in a hit-and-run crash that left a 16-year-old girl with a brain injury has been sentenced to five years of probation.
Thirty-year-old Erin Jackson, who was sentenced Friday, struck a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty Aug. 5 to attempting to leave the scene of an accident that caused serious bodily injury.
Jackson was accused of running a red light Feb. 27 and striking Deyondrah Bridgeman as the girl was in a crosswalk near East High School in Denver.
Jackson turned herself in to police a day after the crash. Bridgeman continues to receive daily therapy.

Later this month we'll be releasing the music from our production of Richard II on CD and as a download at the iTunes store. You can pre-order it from our online shop today.
The recording is the first in a series which captures some of the live and specially commissioned music composed for our productions. The album will be released on CD and for download from 18 October 2013.
We commission more new music than almost any other organisation in the UK and yet, when the production is over, the score is consigned to the archive and rarely heard again – until now.
Long lost music by Vaughan Williams
The Richard II recording contains words and music from the production which opens shortly in Stratford-upon-Avon. There are speeches from the play from David Tennant, Jane Lapotaire and Michael Pennington. And Paul Englishby's original music composed for the current production is recorded alongside music from the 1913 production by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
The Vaughan Williams composition is taken from our archive and not heard since the time of the production's performance. He also composed music for The Merry Wives of Windsor and Henry V in the 1913/14 season.
Copies of the CD, priced at £5.00, are available now to pre order from the RSC online shop.

Mung Bean Soup with Coconut Milk (Maş Fasülye Çorbası)
I got these mung beans at Bloomingfoods a month ago, but since I didn't know what to do with them, they were locked in a jar waiting for me to come up with an idea. I did some research on them and found out that mung beans are used in either Central and East Asian cuisines or Indian cooking. I decided to go with Indian style and make a soup. (Jen and I decided to add coconut milk at the very end, so the recipe probably became a thaindian one) I will try later the Central Asian style and make lamb stew with them.
This is a chunky soup;
I didn't smoothen it
with a hand blender,
so you should probably
chop everything finely
or grate them if possible.
1 cup mung beans
3 tbsp olive or sun flower or corn oil
1 onion, chopped finely or grated
1 carrot, grated
1 bell pepper, chopped
1/2 bunch green onions, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can petite diced tomato or 2 tomatoes, grated
1/2 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp crushed pepper
3 cups of water
1 can coconut milk
1/2 bunch parsley (or cilantro) to garnish
-Although these are dry beans you don't need to precook them. Mung beans are really tiny (and very cute) so even if they are dry it is easy to cook them. I cooked them for 5 minutes with the pressure cooker. It would probably take at most half an hour or 45 minutes to cook them with a regular pot. Or you can soak them in water over night.
-Heat the oil in a big pot and cook onions and garlic for a couple of minutes
-Add green onions, peppers, and carrots. Stir for 5 minutes
-Add tomatoes, ginger, turmeric, curry, garam masala, cumin, mustard seeds, crushed peppers, and salt. Stir for another 5 minutes, and add mung beans and water. Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes
-Pour in coconut milk and simmer 10 more minutes.
-Garnish with parsley or cilantro. You can also squeeze a little bit of lemon juice on the soup.
This soup turned out to be a great one.

I have just learned that Mas is used in Gaziantep(a city in South East Turkey) as well. One of my dear friend's mom cook us the traditional Gaziantep Mas soup. A similar recipe is in{http://www.discovergaziantep.com/mas-corbasi-a-soup-with-green-lentils-and-rice.html}. My friend's mom did not use rice but some type of noodle (eriste). Tarragon (tarhun) and mung beans (Mas) gives a strong taste to this soup.ReplyDelete

Pals of "True Blood" star ALEXANDER SKARSGARD say he's notoriously bad at putting names to faces – even when the face is pretty and famous – but the Swedish-born actor blew the minds of buddies at an LA coffee shop when a sizzling hottie with super-short hair and even shorter shorts waltzed up and said "Hi," gushed about loving the new season of "True Blood" – then flashed a big smile, purred that she'd see him around and split for the exit.
Said My SpyWitness: "Alex just nodded politely as she walked away until one pal blurted, 'Dude! You don't know who that WAS?'"
Alex looked blank until the guy sputtered: "That was MILEY CYRUS, you dumba**!"
Suddenly horrified he might have offended a fellow star, Alex ran to catch up before she exited, gushing, "It was good to see you, MILEY – please have a great day!"
Said the source: "Miley, smiling like she knew Alex was covering his butt, said, 'It's all right if you don't remember who I am!' – then reminded him they'd met THREE times at Hollywood club Beacher's Madhouse."

Do you need to contact Dr. Heinz? Please go to this post.
On Tuesday, May 7, 2013, Dr. Matt Heinz, my brother, was appointed by President Obama to serve as a Director of Provider Outreach, in the Office of Intergovernmental and External Affairs, part of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
I helped Dr. Heinz kick-off his bid for Congress in 2012 with the creation of the splash page for his campaign website. While he was not chosen for the congressional seat, his career path has moved in a positive direction and he started his new job in late June 2013.
Those of you who know my brother will understand why he has also chosen to continue his work as a hospitalist in Tucson, Arizona a couple weekends per month while serving as a Director. Dedication and commitment are two words that come to mind.
Here are links to articles about this exciting new job opportunity for Dr. Heinz, and might I say, Congratulations!
Update: A new personal website is in the works for Dr. Heinz — please keep in touch for launch!

Greetings Ranchers,
I want to share my story with you guys and need your advice regarding the same. I'm working in an indian MNC for the last 4.5 yrs.
I started my carrier from here. Initially for the first year I was given a maintanece project in Mainframes. There I learned Cobol
and CICS. As it was a maintanece and suport project I did not get a chance to enhance my Cobol skills beyound a certain level. The
code written was too complex and too large for me to undustand. Time went by and then this project came into production support
mode. For the next year I was allocated to the production support. I got extremley frustated as I did not get a chance to do any
development work. I talked to my manager about it and he shifted me to a different department promising me that the work at a new
place will be on
which is ever growing. Initailly I was happy that I have got out the den and the way java was growing it was
a tempting opertunity. This new department (say dept B) has another EAI based maintanece project on JMS. Here I started learning
java and did
1.4 with 95% marks. After a few months the horror began. My very Rude manager told me that this project is going
on 24X7 support and I'll have to come on night shift. I was furious and hinted my Project lead that I may resign if asked to come
on night sift. My project lead and my manager then gave me a carrot, They said that each resource from this project will be sent to
onsite on rotational basis for 3 months. starting from my project lead. So I stayed back in the same project waiting for my
opertunity. I studied
in the meantime, but as I did not have any live project to work on my knowlege was not
complete. months went by but my turn did not come. I asked my manager about it and he said that i need to work harder to impress
the client and then my opertunity will come. So i did. They got my B1 filed and I was happy hoping... hoping... for prosparity,
monetory, if not intellectually. Then the next shock came. The project got scrapped. Everyone from my team started resigning. I was
very nervous as I now did not know Mainframes, not worked on java. I heard from other colleges who gave the interviews that
interviewers ask very difficult questions and one has to have good skills to get selected. I got scared and felt that I need to
work on at least one java project before applying nywhere else.
Now for the last 6 months I'm in a
maintance project and still but onsite is still nowhere in sight. I'm also not satisfied with my current package,My manager is asking me to wait for another 4 months only then they can think over it.
I'm feeling really confused at this point of time. I need to go to onsite to have good financial balence in life now. Also I need to do some good work? What should i do? I waited for so long and remain so loyal but of no avail.
Please advice.

It is your decision either to trust your manager or quit.
What is preventing you from seeking the job outside??
Do it aggressively I am sure if you are good you will get tons of offers in current indian market.

Thanks for the reply. I have self doubt. How can I overcome it? I have only worked so far on maintance projects. No develpment work from the scratch. I feel I'm useless

I have gone through similar phase when I was a fresher but with guts I changed company and switch to java.
I guess bug fixing is more difficult than devloping something new since you work on someone else logic.
The job market is good and you have already experience in java and other technolgies.All your fears are self created and you will see around that people with different intellect levels are able to survive in the industry.All you need is to apply for interviews and study from interview point to get job in bright company.How long you can stay with false promises in present company?

Start attending itnerviews and you may not peform well in first 2 interviews. If you dont clear interviews dont get diappointed and tkae those interviews experience to understand what the interviewers are expecting. Start preparing a notes with information in which areas you are strong and which areas you need to improve. Then you can clear the interviews. In this situation preparing for certifications will help you to gain more confidence.
Good luck

"My manager is asking me to wait for another 4 months only then they can think over it." --quote
Your manager is just trying to make you be quiet for 4 months. He needs 4 months before "they" can start thinking over it??? Apparently "they" already thought over it and you were denied.

Well, it is obvious you wont be getting much anymore out of your current job, so definitely you need to start looking out for a new job.
Like its already been suggested, start attending interviews, I am sure there are plenty of companies who would be interested in giving you a chance for an interview, so take that chance, and if you study well, I am sure you will get into a good job.
I know going onsite may help with your financial opportunities and so on, but that should not be the only priority for you, who knows, maybe a job change may bring you a better package and an offshore assignment?
Finally, do not worry too much about not having worked from scratch on any project, doing maintenance work, etc. Its all about handling the interview for you right now, and focus on doing that well, btw, like it was already said, working with someone else's logic is harder than developing from scratch.
And you have to live with it, most of the time, indian companies seem to get maintenance projects...not a generalisation though, just my limited observation.
I agree. Here's the link:

Dot Dot Dot is still relaxing and funny after dozens of times, watching it with various friends. It is so close to total excellence that it is worth some nitpicking, so here goes :)
derp combo at the start -- the timing is confusing. there are four mistakes before the combo breaker, starting with the first word "i" -- but the timing of the gray text makes it seem like it starts with the second word, and has no last mistake for the 'breaker.
february 3, 2010 -- the date in the selectors starts out too close to the final date; it would use the time-board effect better if it had 3x more flipping, including the year... and there are 2 more seconds in which nothing's happening visually that could be used. This could also be something that spins down to the right number, rather than being clicked by a mouse (from a much MUCH higher number, in each case) -- it's the only point at which there's any sense of an 'outside mouse' interaction.
"the entire time" -- this sequence of kinetic text is confusing. It should take up the whole screen if it's to be clearly a 2-d manipulation of letters... and the reuse of letters without preamble is more confusing rather than charming even once it's clear.
"this review is worthles" - the last word is inaudible b/c the soundtrack has gotten too loud; but its subtle pronunciation in the original track is fabulous. tone down one or amp up the other to improve that section.

One out of every four Alabamians do not know how to read, which makes simple tasks such as balancing a checkbook or filling out a job application seem impossible.
The Adult Education Department at Wallace Community College is doing its part to help fight illiteracy. Crrently, the college has 44 volunteer tutors that help others learn to read. However, with seven potential students on their waiting list, the organziation needs more help.
Wallace College is offering free training for reading tutors May 9th-11th, with sessions lasting only 3 to 4 hours.To be a tutor, you must know how to read and you must be a high school graduate. Once training is completed, tutors will be assigned a student within a few days and meet with them at a neutral location once a week.
Tutors say when their students learn to read, they feel empowered because it boosts their self esteem and it helps them get better jobs. According to Pam Meredeth, being able to read changes lives and opens doors to endless possibilities.
Anyone interested in becoming a reading tutor can contact the Wallace Community College Center for Economic and Workforce Development at 556-2373.

Title: Grace
Wed, November 15, 2006
Update summary:
I'm always talking about this trailer park that UG's and I used to hit up. It's full of trailer park chicks. They're all chain-smoking strippers. Well not all of them. The girl we met was. She didn't chain smoke but she was a stripper. I'll tell you what I remember about Grace. It was a cool, sunny afternoon. We wanted to score some pussy. By we, I mean Blumkin, Al-B, and myself. In the distance I spotted a skinny white girl. Her hair was blowing in the wind. The smell of anal was in the air. Her curvaceous ass giggled in the distance. She seemed easy going and easily led. Her eye's told me she lived a rough trailer park life. I asked her if she wanted to make some money talking to me for my documentary. She put up a little fight then hoped on. I was right. She was very outgoing and we learned a lot about life in the trailer park. We also learned a lot about how good she can suck a dick. She did suck a mean dick I'll tell you that much. She could ride a dick too. Like a pro despite being an amateur (Stripping doesn't count). Any who, so ya Blumkin hit it. All angles baby! I filmed it as usual, Al-B as usual almost killed us cause he kept looking back at the sex. WORTST DRIVER EVER! So ya, it was pretty cool. All in all one for the books. OH before i forget. We successfully pulled off and operation shine box (The bus went left, Blumkin ran right. We met up on the other side of the block). Funny thing is she left her shoes and purse in the car. That asphalt must have been burning as she walked all the way back to the trailer park (ten miles or so). Does the fact that I find this hilarious make me a bad person? -DIRT

It's almost here! A few images have been shown online, some specifications have been laid out, but the time has (almost) come to reveal the full 311RS Program. Instead of launching the car at SEMA, it was decided that we'd hold our own event specifically tailored to the 311RS.
With some help from etnies, we were able to connect with Oakley. They gave us time to lay out what we would like to do and how they fit into the program. And as luck would have, it they were into it. But they weren't just going to become a sponsor of the program, they were granting us access to their Worldwide Headquarters in California to host the 311RS Premiere. What?!
We are busy planning the event, but I wanted to get this info out there to you as soon as possible. The event will take place on March 8th, 2012 at Oakley Headquarters. Check the video below as a teaser, and expect more info to come very shortly.

Writer: Kansas back on top in Big 12 standings, boasts best record in conference but Oklahoma State the best Big 12 team
After Kansas lost three games in a row earlier this month, the Jayhawks, who were once the top-ranked team in the USA Today coaches' poll, fell below rival Kansas State in the rankings.
But Kansas blew Kansas State out by 21 points this week and is sure to move past the Wildcats in the rankings when they're released next Monday, as long as it gets past Texas this weekend.
Despite the Jayhawks' recent romp of the Wildcats, which put them in a three-way tie atop the Big 12 standings, and the fact that they have the best record in the conference, ESPN's Jason King doesn't believe Kansas is currently the best team in the Big 12.
King gave that honor to Oklahoma State, putting Kansas at No. 2 in his Big 12 power rankings and Kansas State at No. 3.
"Monday's 83-62 victory over Kansas State ended the Jayhawks' three-game losing streak," King wrote. "But c'mon … did anyone seriously think KU was going to lose that game at Allen Fieldhouse? We'll have a better feel for where this team stands after next week's trip to Stillwater."
In their only meeting this season, Oklahoma State beat a 19-1 Kansas team in Phog Allen Fieldhouse, 85-80, on Feb. 2. The loss ended an 18-game winning streak by the Jayhawks and a 33-game home winning streak. Kansas will face Oklahoma State next Wednesday. Both the Cowboys and Jayhawks are 8-3 in Big 12 play.
"The Cowboys have the inside track to the Big 12 title," King wrote. "They've already defeated Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse and will likely be favored in the Feb. 20 rematch in Stillwater. OSU will take a six-game winning streak into Saturday's home tilt with Oklahoma."

One would think that after taking six midterms, adding a second language class to my already rigorous schedule would be at the top of my re-do list for this year. I thought the same in the weeks leading up to the two-hour-long, cumulative exams. However, when I reconsider my year, I'm strangely happy to have added Greek I to my classes, but not for the reasons one would expect.
Aside from being able to read and write in Ancient Greek, and the knowledge of the mythology-based theocracies of ancient times, Greek has given me a taste of what I've been missing this year.
It has taught me that my fear has ...

An electrical short leads to a trailer fire early Monday afternoon.
The Clifton Fire Department responded to Mockingbird Drive just before one p.m. and found at the bottom of a trailer on fire.
Investigators on scene determined an electrical short caused a spark which in turn caused surrounding wood to catch fire.
Damages are estimated to be a couple thousand dollars. Two men were treated at the scene for minor smoke inhalation.

The Capitals have signed right-handed center Caleb Herbert to a two-year, entry-level contract beginning next season and have assigned him to the Hershey Bears of the AHL.
Herbert, 22, was drafted by the Capitals in the fifth round [142nd overall] of the 2010 NHL draft and spent the last three seasons at the University of Minnesota Duluth. In 36 games this season, he recorded 12 goals and 19 assists, along with 85 penalty minutes.
The St. Paul, Minn., native was named to the 2013-14 National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) Academic All-Conference Team.
Last season Herbert finished second among Minnesota Duluth skaters in assists [19], third in penalty minutes [53] and fourth in points [25]. The Bulldogs list him as a junior business major at 5-foot-11, 195 pounds.

Stability & SRCs
The Rosgen classification system does not assess stability, but rather describes various river types and quantifies their morphological parameters. When the values of these quantitative morphological variables depart from value ranges typical of a stable state based on dimension, pattern, profile and materials, the channel may exceed a "stability threshold" resulting in degradation, aggradation, accelerated lateral extension, avulsion and other instability consequences. The corresponding instability or dis-equilibrium often results in a morphological shift (evolution) to a new stream type.
The sensitivity of stream types to imposed changes such as increase in flow, direct disturbance and riparian vegetation influence varies by stream type. These relations by stream type are shown in Table 3 (PDF) (1 pp, 66K) and reflect differences in potential sensitivity, recovery, sediment supply, stream bank erosion and vegetative controlling influence (Rosgen 1994, 1996). Contrary to some misinterpretations, this general relation does not imply that D, G and F stream types cannot be stable, as they often represent the stable (but geologically active) form in many valley types. A departure analysis must be conducted to understand the stable reference reach form within a valley type.
Applications of this table can be demonstrated in a recent Minnesota Department of Natural Resources publication (Devore, 1998), wherein a landowner claimed that streambanks and riparian vegetation improved by grazing compared to exclusion of livestock. The grazed reach that exhibited great improvement (Figure 24) is an E4 stream type, whereas the reach that was excluded from grazing (Figure 25) was an F4 stream type.

Figure 25. F4 Stream type (from Devore 1998).
If Table 3 is used to evaluate interpretations of the two different stream types, the following summary in Table 4 depicts the major differences between these two gravel-bed streams (Rosgen 1994, 1996).
Table 4. Comparison of management interpretations between E4 and F4 stream types (Rosgen 1994, 1996).

Exclusion of livestock on the F4 stream type would not result in a rapid vegetative response due to the poor recovery potential and reduced vegetative controlling influence. If the F4 stream type evolved (through active lateral erosion of the high banks) eventually to an E4 (the stable reference reach type) inside of the previous F4 type, then recovery potential and vegetative influence would change -- but then, so would the stream type. Without the benefit of the interpretations of stream classification, the conclusions that were drawn of the grazed reach being far more stable than the livestock excluded area, may come to the right conclusion, but for the wrong reason. Although good grazing practices improved the E4 stream type (good recovery potential), the poor recovery potential on the F4 is not related to the vegetation/cattle grazing program. The author has observed F4 stream types in north-central Nevada that excluded cattle for a ten year period without any visible difference on the grazed and un-grazed F4 stream type. When a stream type eventually evolves from an F4 to E4 stream type, however, the sediment supply decreases due to reduced bed and bank erosion.
Bedload sediment rating curve data, representing 55 individual Colorado rivers, were plotted indicating that bedload transport rates varied over six orders of magnitude for the same discharge (Figure 26) (Rosgen 1996). When the same data are stratified by stream type, much of the variability in the bedload transport relation can be explained by stream type (Figure 27) (Rosgen 1996, 2001b). Stream classification and channel stability ratings (Pfankuch, 1975) are coupled to further stratify differences in measured sediment rating curves, and to establish reference dimensionless bedload and suspended sediment rating curve data (Troendle et al, 2001). These methods are recommended for application in WARSSS.
