SoCalGas Receives "Utility Of The Year" From The Greater Los Angeles African American Chamber Of Commerce
LOS ANGELES, April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) received two awards at the recent Greater Los Angeles African American Chamber of Commerce's (GLAAACC) 20 th Anniversary Economic Awards Dinner on April 5 in Los Angeles. GLAAACC awarded SoCalGas with its Utility of the Year Award and Richard D. Hobbs, SoCalGas' director of supply management and supplier diversity received GLAAACC's Small Business Advocate Award. The event featured representatives from corporations, nonprofit groups, local businesses and individuals committed to GLAAACC's mission of advocating and promoting the economic growth and development of African American business by focusing on developing business opportunities, alliances and legislative advocacy.The mistress of ceremonies for the event was Vivica Fox, television and film actress and producer, and Nicole Y. Lame-Hale, assistant secretary for Manufacturing and Services at the U.S. Department of Commerce, was the keynote speaker at Friday's event. "For twenty years, GLAAACC has played a major role in developing and sustaining African American businesses in the region. Without the support of corporations and individuals such as Southern California Gas Company, this would not have been possible," said Gene Hale, chairman of GLAAACC. "We have a long history of partnerships with diverse business enterprises," said Anne Shen Smith, chairman and CEO of SoCalGas, who served as dinner chair for the event. "For several decades we have worked alongside such groups as GLAAACC to promote, develop and grow small and minority businesses. Having access to a larger pool of qualified firms has led to more competitive pricing and higher quality of goods and services that we use to deliver safe and outstanding service to our customers." SoCalGas achieved a record year in 2012 for contracting with Diverse Business Enterprises (DBEs) with nearly 42 percent of its contracting budget going to minority, women-owned and service-disabled veteran businesses for goods, supplies and services. And, SoCalGas' commitment doesn't stop there. Its diverse workforce of more than 8,300 employees includes 64 percent minorities. And of its top leadership, 56% percent are either women or minority.

Balanced Professional Massage Therapy
Monica Holden is grateful for two reasons: she's been able to practice massage therapy for more than 17 years, and she found a mentor in Dr. Myk Hungerford. This tenacious woman worked for half a century to train medical sports massage therapists during a time when professionalism in the field was hard to find because so few therapists carried briefcases. Monica had the great fortune of training under Dr. Hungerford at the American Institute of Massage Therapy, and now she pays it forward by presiding over a staff of certified therapists. These pros bring their massages to homes and offices, where they knead sore sinews with Swedish, deep tissue, shiatsu, and reflexology techniques.
100% of 19 customers recommend
"the staff was great and very professional!"
"It was great! I was able to make a same day appointment and it was a great massage. Will definately use them again."
"Monica was very nice when booking the appointment. Jennifer was very professional and on time. Would definitely recommend them."

My long weekend is over and it's back to the salt mines today. Yesterday saw me spending most of the day indoors unfortunately. The wind made it too chilly to sit outside for any length of time and even going for a walk wasn't an option with my nose making it difficult to breath. Oh well, today is a new day and despite going to work with some swelling still apparent, I'll survive. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon and begin there work of assisting my body to fight the infection.
I made a very yummy veggie stir-fry for dinner last night...I even made sure there was left overs so that Garry and I could have ready made lunch today. Veggie stir-fry is one of my favorite meals. It's a clean out the fridge kind of meal. I love using up veggies that are left over in the fridge in this manner.
My goal today is to take my breaks at work and do some walking. I really need to get back in the habit for many reasons. Taking that break from the computer screen, being the biggest reason.
My positives:
Health care, it's there when a person needs it.
That it's been over a year since I've had the need to go to a doctor.
Breathing a bit easier this morning...antibiotics must be doing their job!
A short work week...only 4 days.
Making some head way on this week's to do list.
Glad to be going back to work today...I've run out of reading material! By being at work...I can easily walk out of my department and go and select some books ! (I work at a library)
Life...ahhhhh, how often we take it for granted instead of appreciating all that it has to offer us.
Have a wonderful Talking Tuesday....yep, it's Talking Tuesday....take the time to interact with those around you and those you haven't talked to for too long.

It has been a while since we have talked about what is supposed to be the greatest employment story in the history of Minnesota: the new Vikings stadium, with its price tag of over a billion dollars and thousands of jobs. Continue Reading →
Minnesota Vikings stadium
Recent Articles
German profit, Minnesota failure
Many questions surround Vikings stadium transparent roof
KSTP, Channel 5, on November 3, 2014, reported the results of its six-month investigation into the transparent (see-through) material to make up 60 percent of the new Vikings stadium roof. They even sent a reporter to the manufacturer, Vectorfoiltec, in Bremen, Germany. Thus, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (on Germany's western border) gets the steel for the stadium and Germany gets the see-through ETFE (ethylene-tetraflouroethylene) for the roof. This will be the first NFL stadium with a transparent (see-through), ETFE, non-movable roof. This reflects the level of NFL involvement in decisions made for our stadium. Continue Reading →

Mpls civil rights director to 'ride herd' on hiring goals
But reporting specifically on hiring of Blacks still won't happen
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
Minneapolis Civil Rights Director Velma Korbel pledged recently that her department will have a "distinct presence" in addressing issues of employment equity and monitoring construction hiring goals in the city. She also said, however, that the department is still not in a position to specify how many African Americans have found work on publicly funded construction projects. "The [Minneapolis] City Council was very clear that they needed someone riding herd on the work that happens" in the city, said Korbel recently to a small group of city residents March 22 in South Minneapolis at an Early Mornings with [City Council Member] Elizabeth [Glidden] event. "One of the main things we are working on right now is the NFL stadium," she pointed out. The Minnesota Vikings stadium workforce goals are 32 percent "minority" and six percent women.

No Dinosaurs in Heaven
New York: Jezebel Productions, 2011. 53 minutes.
"No Dinosaurs in Heaven addresses concerns about who is teaching students what in classrooms across America — a cultural conflict that has been flaring up off and on for decades," writes reviewer Brandon Haught. While Haught appreciates the two storylines involving NCSE's rafting trip through the Grand Canyon and Schiller's own experiences with a science education professor who rejects evolution, he finds the film to be too narrowly aimed at the partisans of biblical flood geology, and overall unfocused.

Good Product Poor Documentation!
This review is from: Bracketron Universal Vehicle Laptop Mount LTM-MS-525
Pros: Sturdy build quality easy to use (after you figure it out see other thoughts). Light weight, folds away works great 15.6" laptop and 17" tested with both sizes. The vehicle mounting part is easy, 1 bolt your on the road!
Cons: I am very displeased for 120$ that there is NO type if instructions other than a few pics. This thing has extra parts, and all kinds of things that I got NO IDEA what they are for, very annoying and aggravating! I think I got all my parts, but not sure since ALL the parts were laying all over inside the box, there were plastic bags but nothing was in them they were all over in the box. Did NewEgg send me a 2nd hand return unit? or is the QC that poor from Bracketron? I am very displeased, this product should be more in the 65$ range for the aggravation of "Figure it out yourself"
Other Thoughts: After you get your engineering degree easy to get together, kidding there. Anyways, I am going to do a video and a write up on this product for a review and also for explanation for people that are like me when you make a 100+$ purchase you EXPECT to have some kind of REAL instructions how to build/put together a product that needs assembly. I can tell you on my site for review it will get a 3 out of 5 star rating due to the poor QC and Instruction. Just take time lay everything out and you will get it. I will update this after I get the REAL instructions, review, and video done here in a few weeks. As far as I am concerned Bracketron should pay ME a fee for taking time to do this! Since I charge 100$ a hour they would owe me more than what I paid for this for doing THEIR JOB!

Saints deal nears final approval
Published: Thursday, June 18, 2009 at 4:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 18, 2009 at 4:43 p.m.
BATON ROUGE Gov. Bobby Jindal's plan for the state to lease office space from New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson part of the deal to keep the team in Louisiana has sailed through the state Senate.
There was little discussion about the bill today before it was unanimously approved. It heads back to the House for approval of changes before it heads to Jindal.
The measure to sidestep the traditional leasing process for state agencies already was approved by the House.
Benson plans to buy and redevelop a vacant office complex and a vacant former mall next to the Louisiana Superdome. Under the Jindal administration deal, the state agreed to rent office space from the Saints owner in a deal to funnel money to the NFL team while limiting direct cash subsidies.
In exchange, Benson agreed to keep the Saints in New Orleans through 2025.

I am currently having a UTI! I never get them unless I am pregnant. I also had some light pink spotting, I know that when I DTD it was about 2 weeks ago the 16, 18, 24. We aren't actively trying. DD is going to be 1 next week, just wondering when I should try to test? ANyone have any clue about this? I had some cramping went to the doctor to get medicine for the UTI, but they said I don't have any UTI, or anything else. They gave me the medicine any way because I have the symptoms, but they did a urine test (this was all on tuesday) came back negative.
I don't want to be on "I didn't know I was pregnant" so If anyone have any ideas what day I should test that would be most helpful! Thanks ladies.
I'm Shawnda by the way! Good luck ladies getting those BFP's.

Disrespectful Grown Up DaughterMy daughter is 22 years old..she has a baby that is a year and a half old. Before I say anything let me tell you that her son is the light of my life. I enjoy everything to do with him. When she became pregnant she was a sophomore in college. In order for her to finish, I said(even though I am disabled with a bad back, and several other health issues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, severe edema, etc...), that I would take care of her son full time to allow her to finish school. My husband and I have taken care of him completely, both financially and physically..and in every other way that counts...We dont have much to do with the father of the child, he hasnt seen the baby much, and sure hasnt contributed to raising him...We didnt expect our daughter too..we told her to just concentrate on school..she would see him on weekends and available times during the week.. I still do absolutely everything for her when shes home too, its not just about taking care of her son..I do her laundry, I cook for her, I serve her, I do EVERYTHING for her and her son...She has managed to say Thank you exactly one time, that was last year, in a letter, which yes I did appreciate it, however actions would go MUCH further at this point. She talks down to me CONSTANTLY, laughs at me, tells me Im ridiculous, you name it, it has been said...the problem is, we used to be SOO close..up until she was around 19? We had the BEST relationship..I don't know what happened, but she has completely changed. She does nothing but take advantage, and talk nasty to myself AND my husband. We have both had it, and are stuck, due to the fact that we DO love the baby SOO much, and know that if we say anything out of line, she threatens to take him away. Any suggestions? I am sick of being hurt by all this..I found this forum today, after a particularly nasty bout with her, and looking around online out of desparation..I need some answers...
Let her take him away. He is her responsibility after all. You have definitely enabled her to be disrespectful by disrespecting yourself. I always use this gauge to inspect my actions, behavior and life. If the situation, circumstance or incident happened or occurred in my best friend's or another person whom I cared deeply about, what advice or words of wisdom would or could I give? Then I do everything humanly possible to do just that! Sometimes it's difficult, so I pray and then do it. You always have the answers. You just choose to ignore your own best advice any times.
I know you posted this a couple of years ago, but I'd like to know how things are going. Are you still caring for your grandchild? I agree with those who said you're doing too much for your daughter. She sounds spoiled. She needs to grow up and learn to be more independent. As she's now a parent, it's time for her to take responsibility for herself and her child. You need to set some boundaries. For heaven's sake, quit doing her laundry and everything for her. She's capable of doing domestic chores herself.
She should also take a more active part in raising her son.
I don't understand why she can't care for her son while she's in college. I did it. In fact, I had three sons while I was in college. And since my husband was in the Air Force, we lived a long way from home and were our children's sole care givers, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
Perhaps your daughter doesn't like her dependence on you and her anger is an expression of her inner turmoil.
Whatever the case, don't let her talk to you with disrespect. Tell her that you'll no longer tolerate it. I don't know where you live, but in some states, grandparents can go through legal channels to get visitation rights. And since you raised the child, you may even be able to get custody.
Good luck.
i have 3 children son 24 middle daughter 23 and youngest 22 the first and last treat me with such disrespect name calling abusing me the 22 yr old has moved in and out and everytime it worse sh comes and goes allday she leaves messes all around the house takes things with out asking and borrows money she doesn;t pay back when promised she doesn;t come home for a few days walks in doesn't say a word to us and than leaves again she calls me names and when she has company exspects me to walk on egg shells her and her brother are alot alike the only dif.is he wont get work and has children he could careless about my middle girl is my best friend my angle today i got my fill of the youngest she has been told over and over you me money i am struggling and not asking for rent or any costabution she wont lift a finger or do anything to show she is happy she can come home she been gone for a few days walks in my home with her friend packs a huge bag of clothes to go away with her girlfriend on a weekend get away all at her exspence she has all the money in the world when it comes to her wants so i told her her things will be in her car and she will not get the rest until i get the money she owes am i wrong i just am so fed up
Kick there ***** out !!!!!!!!!
I have realized that I don't actually like who my daughters have become! In their company I feel uncomfortable and I find when I do spend time with them I always come away feeling distraught and sad. I helped to raise my first two grandchildren for the first 6 years of their lives due to my Daughter's ineptitude only to be disregarded and left out in the cold after I decided I wanted a life and moved to another town. Love did not bridge the distance for her, she felt I was being selfish for moving away! Consequently I rarely see my grandchildren whom I had an incredible bond with for those six years, no doubt they will grow and forget who I was and what times we had. I don't expect her to ever tell them what I did for her after all why should she? Why would she want them to know how bad it was for them during those early years. Easier to make it seem I was unreasonable and uncaring for moving away I guess. As for my other daughter she wanted exactly what her sister had ie a full time carer and someone to help with baby when the going got tough, and before anyone comments about how I should let them get on with it and learn responsibility just try it when you can see your grandchild suffering due to their total lack of empathy and ineptitude! Catch 22 I call it stuck between a rock and a hard place ..... Damned if you do and damned if you don't. You see if you don't then what? You have to be in the sidelines watching, observing and hoping they will get 'it' and that your grandchild will be ok ... I don't think so! I take responsibility for most of it of course, as all Mothers know you don't get a text book when it comes to raising a child. Many factors come in to it ... How you were raised, boundaries and the ability to have them which was my biggest mistake I had none! Nope, no boundaries at all. I was raised by a Mother who did her absolute best but she had to work full time so she wasn't always about and I was never disciplined, lucky me yes but it didn't help me really in the long run. With my own children I just wanted them to have as much fun as possible, thinking they're only little for so long they must have fun! Ok, I did make it known when I wasn't happy with them for behavior etc but discipline, nope! So here I am, alone now. Neither one of them has an ounce of respect for me I have served my purpose no longer needed and disregarded. Am I sad? ... Yep and just a tad bitter too! Judge me all you want for what I am about to say .... I really regret having them! When they shout at me and say 'I didn't ask to be born' guess what I say ... 'And I didn't ask for you to be born either but my God I tried hard and sacrificed to be a decent Mother, and I was!'
Now is the time to pray for our children because I know that my two little girls, now adults ages 21 and 23, are like total strangers to me. I was a single mom when they were both born. Their father was a deadbeat *****-donor who did nothing for them.I lived with my parents, but I took care of my kids. My mom and dad helped me so much but they told me that they were not going to babysit for me to run wild. They babysit while I worked or while took some courses at the local college. I'm glad that they were strict. It taught me responsibility. Anyway, I went through the good, bad, and ugly with my girls. We weathered many tough storms. Certain family members looked down on me and my girls because no one wants to be around broke people. We didn't care. We had eachother. Well the years passed by and they go off to college and I remember like it was yesterday telling them that they better focus on school so that they won't jeopardize their scholarships. I told them that even though you may befriend people with money, never forget your roots. Well, its like I don't even know these women anymore. Now, Mr. Deadbeat was nowhere around when they were younger and never gave me a dime of child support, even though I pursued him in court. He was too sorry to hold down a job in order for me to get anything. Now they act like he is the chosen one because after 18 years of their lives, he resurfaces. He sees two college-graduates and he's latching on for a free ride. My 23

year old has a 14 month old son. I have two younger children, ages 10 and 17 months. That's right, my grandson is 3 months younger than my daughter. I have a wonderful man in my life, whom my oldest daughters dislike. To sum everything up in a nutshell, all I have to say is that I did the best that I could for them. I'm not going to say that I was the best because Lord knows I wasn't and am not now. They both have called me a horrible mother and an even worse grandmother. They recently visited my parents (who live right around the corner from me) and didn't think enough of me and their younger siblings to call or stop by. To all those parents, either mothers or fathers, who are dealing with these type of children, please pray to God for strength and guidance. Pray, believe, and meditate that your relationship will get better and it will. Sometimes the best thing to do is give a person his or her space until they realize that they should try to do better.
We have a similar story, It is so hard for me to let go I did it 7 years ago and it was like mourning a death I did it though, and now were back at it ,I dont get whats wrong with these selfish kids of ours today its so frustrating and wrong , they just dont seem to give a damn, now I am dealing with my sweet aging Mom with Dimentia and my stupid father moved them 3 hours away when she and I could have all the time in the world together as I am still single and want so bad to give back to her what she gave to me as a child. This sucks
Its an ugly truth that we as parents often feel that we have to put up with mistreatment and verbal abused from our grown adult children because we are afraid that they will use the grandchildren as manipulating tools to get back at us. It has happen, in fact it has happen to me. I have done everything in my power to provide and care for my children. I am not perfect but I have done my best to make sure they had a good home without drugs, alcohol or violence. I showed them love and patience. But there comes a time when we have to regain our self respect because if we continue to let them disrespect us we not only loose our dignity, we disvalue ourselves and they will only get worse. They are not going to wake up someday and say gee I have mistreated my parent. They will never wake up if we dont stand up for ourself and in fact will continue thinking we are worthless,and manipulate us by holding our grandchildren as hostage if we dare speak up or else never see them again. Do you think that your grandchildren are going to respect you for allowing the abuse, because that is what that treatment is., plain and simple abuse and get ready because the grandchildren, no matter how much love you have shown them , will also begin to show you disrespect. I know its utterly heartbreaking. When I told my daughter I was heartbroken by her behavior, she told she didn't give a f**** how I felt. I could not sleep for days. But no more, I finally told her she would no longer disrespect me , she is an adult now, grow up, deal with the consequences of her actions and stop using my grandchild to manipulate me. and yes I cried afterwards, but I didnt let her see it. I am using prayer to heal from it, from the hurtful words, and from not seeing my grandchild except for moments here and there. I pray everyday the God intervene and help her see the truth. But most of all I pray that God watch over my grandchild and her. They are now living with one of her girlfriends, trying to figure things out. I know that they will either grow up and learn that in order to survive they will have to work hard in order to provide what I provided for her, her baby and her husband or loose everything.

I deserve respect and love, but I am not going to beg for it. I will always love her, my grandchild but I have had enough of the abuse and manipulation. I pray that he is safe and pray for their return when they are ready to face the truth and accept that all I did for them was because I loved them not because I had to or because I have no self respect. God does not want u sto allow them to abuse us, he wants us to stand up for ourself. God will help us but he is waiting for us to ask him to intervene. It may take a while for them to learn on their own, otherwise we are just enabling them to fail.
well said
Tigger71004 hold on a bit frmr has a point but not put it to diplomatically you NEED to bring in a little tough love Sit down and work out a plan of action with your daughter about work scheduales for school and homework ,then what chores you would like for her to do towards helping with HER baby and its environment,You could forinstance pull back on help for one day and then let her find out just how hard you've been working so she can carry on playing at being a child and not taking on her responsibilities as a parent.But remember you are her parent and you set rules that hopefully give the best for ALL of you.Any more help please feel free to message me
How do you suppose she learned to be ungrateful and unresponsible for her actions? Do you suppose it is because her parents did not hold her accountable? The REAL question is, when are you going to stop doing everything for her and allow her to stand on her own two feel? THAT will be tough but it's the only way.

|View Signatures for Minor Capital Outlay Policy
The Trustees own all California State University San Marcos facilities, regardless of the original source of construction or acquisition of funds, and have delegated authority to manage the facilities on a daily basis to the President of the University.
Minor Capital Outlay projects are limited to those construction projects that correct deficiencies, provide new or improved facilities, add access or provide equipment for a minor capital outlay project whose estimated cost is $600,000 or less. The Minor Capital Outlay projects list is determined by the Executive Council and specifically managed through the Planning, Design & Construction department. The State of California appropriates funds to the campus annually, if bond funds are available, for minor capital projects within the following limitations:
A) By Trustees' policy, health and safety items requiring correction as dictated by the Division of Industrial Safety, State Fire Marshal, State Public Health, or other authoritative agency, must be given first priority.
B) No projects relating to parking lots, student residences, campus unions, health centers, student recreation or other non-state funded projects may be undertaken with state funds.
C) No equipment may be purchased from minor construction funds except to equip minor capital outlay projects.
D) Projects involving alterations or additions to buildings shall be approved by the State Fire Marshal and the Access Compliance Unit in the Division of the State Architect before proceeding into construction.
E) No funds from this allocation may be used for routine maintenance, deferred maintenance, or special repair items.
Planning, Design & Construction staff is responsible for submitting the Minor Capital Outlay Projects list to the Chancellor's Office annually in the spring. The process is as follows:
- PDC requests projects from the President, Provost and each Vice President on October 1st of each year. The format for these project requests can be found on the PDC website.
- The project requests are returned to PDC no later than November 30th of the same year. Consideration will only be given to projects with written approval from the President or another member of the Executive Council. PDC will develop a preliminary cost estimate and verify the project type for all projects submitted by deadline.
- The President and the Executive Council will review a proposed priority list for submission to the Chancellor's Office in February or March of the following year.
- Upon approval by the President, the proposed priority list and all associated documents will be submitted to the Chancellor's Office.
- PDC will respond to any comments from the Chancellor's Office and notify the President, Executive Council and any affected parties of any significant changes to the campus request.
- The President and all affected parties will be updated periodically as State funding process proceeds. Official notification will be given by PDC when appropriations are approved and allocation orders completed.
Campus personnel can submit requests for minor capital construction funds via the Web at www.csusm.edu/pdc/ . Prior to submitting requests to Planning, Design and Construction, all requests must be approved by the appropriate AVP, Dean, or Unit Head as well as by the appropriate Vice President/Provost.

All right. In that case the answer is "Yes, you can". I already answered that in my previous post. E-TTL flashes, controlled from the ST-E2, can always be mixed with any desired number of individual slaves.

How much time should I take for my maternity leave?
I'm not sure how much time I should take for my maternity leave. My mate wants me to stay home for six weeks. This is my first child and I'm not sure whether that'll be too little or too much time. How do I figure out what's right for me?

I AM 16 WEEK & I THINK I WILL BE TAKING OFF ABOUT 1-2 WEEK BEFOR MY BUNDLE OF JOY GETS HERE JUST SO I CAN TIE UP LOOSE END & HAVE A LITTLE ME TIME BECUASE THE BABY WILL BE A HUGE ADJUSTMENT FOR ME (MY SON WILL BE 11 WHEN THE BABY GETS HERE)posted 10/10/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I manage a bakery, in a supermarket. It's a very labor intense job. I'm 27 weeks now and it's becoming very hard to keep up, and get everything done. My back hurts all the time, not just because of the baby, but because of the non stop physical labor. I'm going to my doctor tomorrow and I'm going to discuss with her how soon I can take my leave. I asked my boss if I could do "light duty" but in all honesty, there is no such thing. My coworker who runs another stores bakery (she's about 32 weeks) had to leave last week beacuse she had started to have complications. I just don't want to get to that point. And your body (like mine is now starting to say now) will tell you when you should. If I had a less stressful/less labor filled job maybe I could hang in there till right before, but with a job like mine, it's virtually impossible.posted 10/07/2007 by MIssyDice
In Puerto Rico we have by law, 8 weeks with full pay and benefits. My agency, give us 4 additional weeks, so it will be a total of 12 weeks full pay. After that you can take the FMLA, which will be a additioanl 12 weeks (un-paid and with no benefits). so if you plan ahead you can take 24 weeks, and any additional vacations that you have accumulated.posted 10/03/2007 by very anxious
I am European and in most European counties woman are entitled to take 6 months with full pay and a further 3 months unpaid. Unfortunitly I live and work in the US so my emplyer doesn't pay any maternity leave. I am planning on taking a minimum of 4 months, my husband and I are trying to save as much as possible at the moment so that we'll be ok when I am on leave. Basically I think you should take as much time as you can financially afford, this time in your life is so special and you're never going to get it back.posted 09/19/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
There are VERY few companies that will offer a paid maternity leave, and honestly it makes sense. I will begin my leave in another month before my baby is born, and it really puts everyone else out while I'm gone. Everyone has been great about being flexible with my leave, but however understanding a company is they still take quite the hit in so many ways when a woman takes 3 months out of the year off. You've got to plan ahead as best you can financially. My husband is a full-time graduate student now and we live off my income, so having so much unpaid time off will hurt. But we have been pinching and cutting back financially, putting a little aside every month since we found out I was pregnant so we can pay our bills while I'm on leave out of that savings account. It will be tight, but I don't think an employeer should have to pay me while I'm on maternity leave.posted 09/05/2007 by math9254
A friend of mine signed up for Aflac short-term disability insurance, which allowed her to be able to take off 12 weeks. It may be worth checking into a company like that.posted 08/29/2007 by wintermomMpls
mcp823 - I agree that you should contact a lawyer immediately. What you describe is blatant discrimination and illegal. As a higher up in the company, you owe it to other employees in your company to fight this culture established by the CEO. You may also want to contact a career counselor. Even if you decide to move to a new position after the baby was born, and who would blame you, you company does not need to know that. You have stated your intention to come back full time - and they have to act accordingly. They legally cannot withhold promotion based on pregnancy either. So work with a career counselor to stand your ground and get a title that describes your actual responsibilities (before you go on leave). Then if you do decide to look for a new position, you are negotiating from the point of an accurate current role and can find something at the correct level for your skills. I would want to leave if I were you, but hang in there until you've fought the good fight. Good luck.posted 08/27/2007 by zoraray
I think every woman is different. I am very fortunate to be due after my short term disability at work increases to 13 weeks paid at 100% (currently I get 6 weeks at 100% and 7 weeks at 2/3 pay which can be suppliemented with vacation time). I plan on taking at least 12 weeks (13 if I can). Both my sisters worked for places where they didn't have any kind of benefits and just save money for several months before my niece and nephew were born and stayed home as long as they could (I believe 6 weeks each). They wanted to stay home longer, but financially, couldn't. I know other women who want to come back to work after 6 weeks, so I would do what feels right for you.posted 08/27/2007 by BeckyS727
I am due in December with my first. My company's disability policy will pay me 55% of my salary for 5 weeks (regardless of whether it's a vaginal birth or C-Section). Does anyone know if you can also apply for state disability benefits? And if so, any useful links to find info on in for Illinois?posted 08/23/2007 by Bunga29
As a Canadian living in Quebec I have the option of taking 40 weeks with 75% pay or 50 weeks with 25 weeks at 70% pay and 25 weeks with 55% pay. There ia salary cap for of $57,000 for 2007. Nonetheless, I feel this gives new mothers the opportunity to spend valuable time with their newborn. It is unthinkable to me, that a mother would have to send her baby to daycare at 3 mths. Obviously, depending upon where one lives, I can understand that some moms do not have the choice to do otherwise. This I think is rather unfortunate.posted 08/20/2007 by twinkiestar88

text: Young, Nicholas An introduction to Hilbert space. (English) Zbl 0645.46024 Cambridge Mathematical Textbooks. Cambridge (UK) etc.: Cambridge University Press. 239 p. £ 9.95/pbk (1988). The present book is intended primarily for an undergraduate audience. The authors believes that a sound grounding in Hilbert space theory is the best way how to approach functional analysis. It consists of sixteen chapters dealing with the following topics: Inner product spaces, Normed spaces, Hilbert and Banach spaces, Orthogonal expansions, Classical Fourier series, Dual spaces, Linear operators, Compact operators, Sturm- Liouville systems, Green's functions, Eigenfunction expansions, Positive operators and contractions, Hardy spaces, Approximation by analytic functions and approximation by meromorphic functions. This last chapter and the one concerning the positive operators may be of interest to electrical engineers, since some recent developments, particularly in control and filter design, require familiarity with this aspect of operator theory. The book presupposes introductory courses in real analysis, linear algebra, topology of metric spaces and elementary complex analysis. The chapter concerning Hardy spaces requires a certain familiarity with Lebesgue measure.Reviewer: L.Janos Cited in 47 Documents MSC:46C05Hilbert and pre-Hilbert spaces: geometry and topology46-01Textbooks (functional analysis)46C99Inner product spaces, Hilbert spaces47B06Riesz operators; eigenvalue distributions; approximation numbers, $s$-numbers etc.of operators34L99Ordinary differential operators47B15Hermitian and normal operators41A30Approximation by other special function classes47A10Spectrum and resolvent of linear operators47A70Eigenfunction expansions of linear operators; rigged Hilbert spaces46B03Isomorphic theory (including renorming) of Banach spacesKeywords:Inner product spaces; Normed spaces; Hilbert and Banach spaces; Orthogonal expansions; Fourier series; Dual spaces; Linear operators; Compact operators; Sturm-Liouville systems; Green's functions; Eigenfunction expansions; Positive operators; contractions; Hardy spaces; Approximation by analytic functions; approximation by meromorphic functions BibTeX

This review is from: Eclipse 1.8" Red 4GB MP3 Video Player T180
Pros: None
Cons: It lasted about a month. Touch screen control seems to be pressure more than touch (cheesy). It still plays mp3s but the touch screen control is gone. I cannot swap screens. It was not worth sending back.
Other Thoughts: Buy something else.
Did you find this review helpful?
They shouldn't have sold this design
This review is from: Eclipse 1.8" Red 4GB MP3 Video Player T180
Pros: You can talk to someone at the company.
Cons: Impractical interface.
Other Thoughts: You can reach Eclipse on the phone and talk with someone easily! This is great. They had a satisfactory solution to the problem of "list by folder" not really listing the folders.
Did you find this review helpful?
Not Bad at all.
This review is from: Eclipse 1.8" Red 4GB MP3 Video Player T180
Pros: Got this when looking for an MP3 player. 4 GB built in hold tons of files. I put an 8 GB in the expansion slot for more files. FM radio picked up all the stations that I like. Did not play with the voice recorder yet. Over all does want I wanted and more. I would recommend it.
Cons: The video play glitched and was a little choppy on one of the pre installed videos and the music sync with video was off. Another one was fine. Comes with demo version of utilities. Video player only plays AVI, I knew that before I bought it. There are free converts for videos online.
Other Thoughts: I removed the installed music and videos. Odd but the volume level goes to 31, (insert Spinal Tap joke here). Has a very good sound, even with the basic ear buds that come with the unit. The touch screen take a little getting use to, not as sensitive as a smart phone.

in response to rtheb
Karan8488- the advice given by rtheb is fantastic, as my feelings are exactly the same. However I fear on the 32bit issue you may have some issues, all of the functions bootcamp 5.0.5033 fixed are reliant on a 64bit OS. However, there are a ton of custom made drivers out there, trackpad++ comes to mind, that were lovingly built to fix issues that apple has left in the dust.
Thank you so much everyone for the support, being a programmer/designer, a lot of my world is inside a computer, so it means a lot to get some empathy from it!
I just don't get the screen freezing issue...rnwjr, I did however get an update notification for nvidia again, and chose NOT to update it, being I am working HEAVY in Windows 8 now, I'm using office 2013 project, visual studio 2012, and the adobe cs6 suite, along with my companies quickbooks pro 2013. I haven't had a freeze yet.
I'm going to investigate later today, I really want this to work for everyone.

http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents First off, did you have windows ever installed in your MacBook? Like vista/7 or something? If not, I'm on my iPhone so bare with me, as its a clunky suggestion, but I would use the link I posted above and download the oldest set of drivers, and see if you can install, and at least get a little functionality, then we can work on what's not working individually. As long as you get see kind of bootcamp version installed, you can always just use individual drivers from the newer updates

Have used win 7 worked perfectly at that time the prob with 8 is that trackpad is working but no right click and touch to click neend to press that button and noo sound at all not in speakers not in earphones, no brightness change but I am ok with it

Trackpad++ worked for me and audio also worked installed some driver now I just can't control brightness and that f1 buttons didn't work only

in response to projectRelentless
I think project Relentless may be on to something about previous versions.
Here is a link to Bootcamp 3.0 with all the updates to get to Bootcamp 3.3
I would try and install these starting with 3.0 and upgrading incrementally and see how it goes.
If everything starts working I would then try installing the Bootcamp 4.0 drivers for your Mac.
Hope this helps.
BTW both compressed and uncompressed files at link so use whichever you are more comfortable.

I checked in Mac OS (10.8.3) on my macbook boot camp version 5.0.2(462) so the whole driver setup for bootcamp 3 won't install give error that it is for boot camp 3 though I can install individual driver by opening it but whole setup won't run boot camp driver package 4.0.4131 give me error that it is not made for my computer by apple site says it is for all the MacBook from 2006 to 2010 model and bootcamp driver 5.0 won't install because I am using 32 bit ver of win and it is for 64 bit so it gave me error this software can't be run

Are you trying to run these drivers under Windows?
I don't understand that Windows would give a hoot where the drivers are from?
Did you try Apple > Drivers > Bootcamp.msi and try to install from there?
Karan8488 Mar 28, 2013 2:09 PM

Bootcamp 3 drivers were from original Mac OS snow leopard disc which I got with MacBook and the other 2 downloaded from apple official support site

thats great, if the brightness and the f keys are issue, your doing great! for the brightness and f keys, these will be issues, as the only win8 drivers are the elusive 64bit which you cant install... did you try to install them manually?

Hey project,
I have a mid 2009 MBP
- 2.53 GHz
And I was able to sucessfully install windows 8 through bootcamp by following your instructions. I was able to install both bootcamps (4.0.4033 and 5.0.5033) and all seems to be fine except that I get frequent freezes. This problem started after the 10.8.3 update and I was hoping your "trick" would help fix this. Have you experienced any freezing issues with your Windows partition?
FearlessSpeech Apr 2, 2013 4:27 PM
in response to mygavin
So I really apprecaited your guide, I've read the entire thread and followed every step including the nvidia stuff and getting the right drivers folders. I'm having the same issue as rnwjr and mygavin. My competer completely freezes at random, seemingly unconnected to what programs or processes are up at the time. The mouse pointer disapears after a few seconds following the freeze and the terminal is totally unresponsive. Cannot pull up task manager and am forced to hold the power button untill it shuts off.
Frezes happen at random. They have happened while simply surfing the internet, downloading things, installing things, once while just looking through the control pannel. They can happen within as little as two minutes of me starting up or up to three and four hours later. They seem to be getting more frequent. In fact, one happened while typing this. I was forced to boot into OSX where Apple proved their awesomness by auto-recovering this very post since they detected I has lost my connection. I sincerely doubt it is a RAM issue since when I look at resource monitor, even with my game running, it is never using 100% of the physcial memory. (Usually around 70-80%).
Win 8 64bit
I have NVIDIA control pannel showing version 314.22
2.66 Core 2 Duo
Nvidia GeForce 9400M 256 MB GPU
Model designation 5,3
Bootcamp I used first the Win7 drivers (as you said in your fixing post) and then the new Win8 Drivers, these all installed fine. On screen brightness, sound, tap to click, so on and so forth all work with no problem. What little time I was able to spend logged into the game did show an improvement over my XP days (auto detect settings increased in a few categories and frame rate went up 10fps).
Is there somewhere in windows I can go to have it scan for all driver updates at once? I'm still finding a lot of the Win 8 UI just confounding and frustrating. I am upgrading from Win XP 32 bit which ran without any stability issues other than the very rare freeze while gaming. The only purpose for this partition is to game, which is why I upgraded to 64bit so that I could actually have access to all 4gigs of RAM.
Also, PS, you said you upgraded the RAM in your MacBook... is that hard? I was under the impression its nearly impossible to make modifications to these macbooks because of the way the internals are set up.
Thanks so much for your guide, sorry about your wife leaving you.
Edited to include bootcamp version information.

Behind The Wire
David Simon on where the show goes next.
Simon: On The Wire, we were trying to explore this stuff you don't see—the dope on the table, all that has been done to death. Sometimes the real poetry of police work is a couple of detectives with their feet on a desk in the backroom looking at ballistics. And that sounds like anti-drama. But that's the trick to making good drama; the drama has to be earned. There have to be moments of anti-drama. You can't make a good show based on pure verisimilitude, pure anti-drama. But you have to acknowledge a lot of ordinary life. Most TV doesn't do that.
If I had to write a police procedural right now, I'd put a gun to my head. And I really have to say this, even Homicide [on which Simon was a producer and writer] was prisoner of the form. On shows where the arrest matters, where it's about good and evil, punishing crime, the poor and the rich, the suspect exists to exalt the good guys, to make the Sipowiczs and the Pembletons and the Joe Fridays that much more moral, that much more righteous, that much more intellectualized. It's to validate their point of view and the point of view of society. So, you end up with same stilted picture of the underclass. Either they're the salt of earth looking for a break, and not at all responsible, or they're venal and evil and need to be punished. That's a good precedent for creating an alienated America.
Slate: One thing that struck me about the show, from the get-go—and this may sound like base flattery: It reminded me of Shakespearean drama for the way that even the villains are humanized. No one is just a bad guy. Even Avon, whom I loathed at the opening of Season 1, I came to like.
Simon: It's funny you should say that, because the portrayals in Deadwood are in the Shakespearean model. On The Sopranos, there's an awful lot of Hamlet and Macbeth in Tony. But the guys we were stealing from in The Wire are the Greeks. In our heads we're writing a Greek tragedy, but instead of the gods being petulant and jealous Olympians hurling lightning bolts down at our protagonists, it's the Postmodern institutions that are the gods. And they are gods. And no one is bigger.
By the way: If at any point any character on the show ever talks as I'm talking right now, it would suck. It's crucial that the characters can't lecture us.
Slate: The second season is focused largely on white dock workers in Baltimore, and less on the inner-city ghetto. What was behind that decision?
Simon: If we hadn't gone somewhere else in Baltimore, we couldn't have said to anyone we were trying to write about the city. Ed and myself and Bob Colesberry—who inspired the visual look of the show, and who sadly passed away—the three of us said, we want to build a city. If we get on a run, we want people to say, "That is an American city, those are its problems, and that's why they can't solve its problems." If we had just gone back to the ghetto and continued to plumb the Barksdale story, it would have been a much smaller show, and it would have claimed a much smaller canvas.
Originally, the show created a new target each season. By the time we ended Season 1, we realized we could extend the Barksdale story over Season 3, to Hamsterdam, and that we could extend that target over the City Hall story. One of our five themes was the death of work and the death of the union-era middle class. So, we thought, do we go to the port? Do we go to GM? Do we got to Beth[lehem] Steel? They probably weren't going to let us film at GM, and Beth Steel was bankrupt at that point. We put out a few feelers and GM wasn't really open. But the Port Authority was open to talking to us. So, that's where we were going and everything developed from there.
You know, sometimes people in West Baltimore say to me, about Season 2, "We know you tried to take our show white, but it didn't work—then you came back to us." And I have to say, "Dawg, no. The second season was the most watched season." A lack of audience is not why we left it behind.
Slate: Do you think it was the most watched season because more of the characters were white?
Simon: It certainly helped. There are limits to empathy in this country. By the way, viewership for The Wire is now up—it's up 15 percent on HBO on Demand, and on second airings.

Veterans home passes inspectionApril 05,2013Veterans home passes inspection
BENNINGTON The Vermont Veterans Home has passed a state inspection and needs to pass one more to ensure it will keep receiving federal funds.
The home is on special focus status following a near-loss in funding from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services last year. That funding accounts for most of the homes $20 million budget.
Administrator Melissa Jackson told the Bennington Banner the inspectors from the Division of Licensing and Protection found one minor issue in Mondays inspection, an expired medication.

the stars of that backdrop...aren´t they supposed to be behind objects and not over them...? or is it intentional?
Thrawn's Revenge is a large-scale mod for Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. It includes the events of the Galactic Civil War after Palpatine's death at Endor, up until the signing of the Pellaeon-Gavrisom treaty. If you own the Steam version of EaW, you will have to complete extra steps to run the mod after installation. Please see the manual for these steps.
the stars of that backdrop...aren´t they supposed to be behind objects and not over them...? or is it intentional?
It's intentional, because they aren't stars, they're ice particles. We've had them in for several years now.
oh, thanks. thought it could be caused by some weird shader which is always displayed on the top...
Will I have to uninstall the 2.0 version to be able to play 2.1? Also thank you all for making such a great mod and I'm so excited I can hardly wait toplay it =)
Yes, you will have to uninstall 2.0.
This mod is cool but I personally don't like these ice particles. Is there a way to delet them?
how i get 2.1 on DESURA
The Desura version is not yet available. We are working on getting it released using that platform in the near future.
very nice
