Health - Burn fat better
By Joe Beer
Health - Burn fat better
Health - Burn fat better (BikeRadar ©)
For fitness riders, the question "Why would I want to be able to burn fat?" begs the obvious answer - to get in better shape and look it. But for fit athletes who already have a well-worked lipolysis system, the answer might not be so obvious.
But tapping the body's fat in training increases endurance, reduces the likelihood of 'bonking' and increases fitness. So how exactly do you improve it?
Starting with the basics, you have two choices of fuel; carbohydrate and fat. Carbs provide around 1,500 to 2,000 calories when muscles are fully 'carbo loaded'. This 'higher-octane' fuel can help you go long by combining with fat use or it can fuel quick efforts or sustained high-intensity riding on its own.
The fat stored under your skin and within muscles themselves is a very high calorie fuel depot
Even lean riders like Lance have over 30,000 calories stored as fat, and there are quite a few fit riders carrying well over 100,000. This is clearly a significantly larger potential fuel source than carbs. Fat use generally increases steadily as a ride draws out, starting with the use of fat droplets stored in the muscle and then gradually using fat circulating in the blood stream that is coming off the 'chub' stores spread around the body.Tapping the generous body fat stores saves limited glycogen, but remember even at steady riding levels you will still use carbs.
FAT BURN TIP Keep the ride intensity under 80% of your max heart rate (HRmax) and ride for long periods
Build the engine
Training is crucial for optimising your dual fuel burning engine. If you can increase your oxygen carrying capacity and the architecture of fat use by riding regularly you will be many times more efficient than the irregular rider.
Studies show that one effect of training regularly is that less lactate is produced at a given level of effort. For example, unfit people (VO2max=25-35ml.kg.min) may have a significant increase in lactate (LT or Lactate Threshold) at 50%VO2max. Trained athletes (VO2max60-70ml.kg.min) are likely to have this same lactate increase at around 70 to 80%VO2max.
More importantly, data suggest that fat usage may be 80% higher in athletes compared to obese individuals. Data from well-trained riders in the study (VO2max of 64ml.kg.min) suggests that fat use stops above 87%VO2max, and the peak area is around 45 to 65%VO2max. This equates to around 70 to 85%HRmax. If you want to work out the approximate percentage of VO2max you are working at, use this equation... %VO2max = (%HRmax x 1.345) -50 Eg riding at 80%HRmax gives (80 x 1.345) - 50 = 57.6% VO2max
FAT BURN TIP Training regularly, even turbo training sessions, helps use fat as fuel more than any special food, supplement or psychological trick and during a 2-hour endurance ride does not save glycogen but it does significantly decrease the use of fats stored within the muscle fibres
Type One 'endurance' muscle fibres were found to be the main area of fatty droplet use. Interestingly, glycogen storage after fasted sessions, on water alone, was much greater than the feeding during the ride. This suggests these fasted water-only rides up to 2 hours could be used to boost peak levels of fat use by 50% and post-exercise muscle glycogen storage by 200%.
However, for all those pulled in by 'fat burning' spinning sessions, aerobics classes and 'step', be sure you are number savvy. Fat use probably only provides 0.5g to 1g per minute. This will be greater during later stages of training sessions and in very fit riders (maybe 600 to 800 calories per hour). But, a carb meal 30 to 90 minutes before your ride will greatly turn down your fat burning engine, switching to more carbs.
Fasted rides (when you don't eat before going out) on water or fasted rides on a 5% fluid replacement drink tap fat
Have breakfast after the ride (if you're going over 2 hours eat breakfast on the bike in the form of regular carb foods - about 40 to 60g per hour)
Take a rider with bad meal timing; lack of consistent riding, who's training too hard and fat use will be very poor. However, if you leave 2 hours between eating and riding, train fasted up to 2 hours once a week, keep in your steady riding zone (60 to 80%HRmax) most of the time and stay consistent, then you will be a good fat burner.

Digital painting. Practice. Wanted to see if I could paint something from scratch with no references while using one standard brush. It isn't real great; but, hey, like they say...practice makes perfect. I hope so anyway. lol
This one looks tremendously like traditional art so good job. This is actually ART.. Unlike 90% of the stuff I see here. Please keep up the great work and never stop practicing and exploring and expanding
Holy cow ...
You have a engrossing image there. Clean work.
Wonderful work!
It doesn't look bad - I like the overall look. Especially textures are painted well, I'm not so sure about the colours. Good to know somebody is learning digital painting from the scratch (it seems like everyone on DA is miles and miles away when it comes to skill) - I'd like to learn it as well, I have problems with finishing any of my digital painted works
It's a bit of a pain; but, def offers a liberty you cant find with any other medium.
Awesome and scary D:
Brilliant piece.
Awesome! Totally love the vibe of this piece man, well executed. A dark image on a minimalistic and white canvas, killer!
oh he's melting. very intersting. how'd you come up with this?
It just evolved into this from a few smudges of an idea. lmao An intuitively progressive subconscious manifestation. lmao
From scratch? woah! Sick!
You are one cool octogenarian
You are one cool octogenarian
fantastic work my dear friend
It's a nice practice man.
It's very weird but I like it!
This is actually really sharp, Phil. I like the conceptual, minimalistic approach a lot.
Cool concept man, looks good to me!
What ... da ... F ... is that xD, pretty awesome

Excellent choice!
This review is from: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming G1.Sniper Z5S LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Excellent board, it does OC very well (i5 4670K @ 4.4GHz and 2000MHz on ram) BIOS is too simple, sometimes I feel lost then I realize it was right in my face, the look is extremely appealing in my white and green build, I could say it is a stripped down board since it only has the features you need (awesome Ethernet, awesome sound card).
Cons: The "skinny desing" is awful, I mean the board is too slim to go on the 3 stand off on the left, so when you plug in your 24 pin power or your ram it bends and it scares me, but its fine so I guess the UD certification is good
Other Thoughts: Overall great board, once again Gigabyte was able to beat my expectations, I just dont understand why they stopped using green for their "G1" series, it's beautiful and different.

Don't Just Don't
This review is from: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming G1.Sniper Z5S LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Physical design and UEFI
Cons: Everything else. After a few months this board started to break down. Keyboard would light up followed by the mouse. Then sound stopped playing as well. I tried to fix sound by all the methods I could think of but still a no go. This board was to be used in an up coming international mod competition. This has been a real shame.
Other Thoughts: Don't let appearance be your deciding factor. Do your research. Wish it could have worked out.

Complicated BIOS setup!
This review is from: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming G1.Sniper Z5S LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Nice board layout. Easy to install and everything fit. Good User's manual and the APP center software is useful.
Cons: Overly complicated BIOS for anyone other than a dedicated Gamer or over clocker.
Other Thoughts: Over the past several years I have built several computers for myself and family members using ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI motherboards without any problems.

Yay! Gigabyte
This review is from: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming G1.Sniper Z5S LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: In response to my previous review and 3-star rating -- Gigabyte Support for Newegg customers has sent a new Alpha BIOS to me which has fixed all issues except for the very minor annoyance of switched SP/DIF port identifications. I can easily live with that. I'm only telling Gigabyte this so that they can get it 100% sorted out in the final BIOS update.
Cons: I didn't mention it in my first review, but there are lip-sync issues between audio outputs and HDMI video output. It would be nice if Gigabyte could offer BIOS or Realtek driver settings to deal with these issues -- one for HDMI (Intel) audio and others for mobo/Realtek (speaker, USB, optical coax, and digital coax) audio output. Right now the USB audio port on the mobo seems to be worse than the other mobo audio ports.
Other Thoughts: Digital audio output quality of this motherboard to an outboard DAC (Peachtree DAC-iTx) is really excellent.

Can't Get Audio to Work Reliably with I7-4770k IGP
This review is from: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming G1.Sniper Z5S LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Nice feature set, Dual UEFI BIOS. Very low power in sleep mode (1.2w) and power-on idle mode (12w). Very low power using Speedstep while watching HDTV (37w). I7-4770k runs relatively cool, even when transcoding using Quick Sync (max 60 deg.C @ about 65w). Fan speed control is very effective for my low noise HTPC build.
Cons: Fulfilled all expectations except for very annoying HDMI and SPDIF sound output issues -- very unreliable. I watch TV via HDMI directly to my TV using Redmere 1.4 cables with audio return via optical cable from the TV to my dedicated DAC SPDIF optical input. I also listen to hi-rez audio via SPDIF coax digital to my outboard DAC. However, I have to constantly reset sound options after sleep mode, power off/on or switching sound output modes. Oddly enough, Win7 Pro shows swapped SPDIF port IDs - I get SPDIF coax only when I select SPDIF optical. I've tried all combinations of Intel driver updates, BIOS updates, Realtek updates, TV firmware updates, etc. Nothing works. Appears to be an Intel CPU & mobo BIOS issue with finger pointing both ways -- customers caught in the middle. Many other mobo brands including Intel's own have the same issue with Haswell CPUs -- do a Google search on "Haswell HDMI handshake problems"
Other Thoughts: Built as a very low noise HTPC without a dedicated GPU. At this point I'm trying to decide if I send the mobo back for a different brand or buy a dedicated GPU or buy a dedicated sound card.

Unsure about this board
This review is from: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming G1.Sniper Z5S LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: I like the looks of this board.
Cons: Super lag time with the on board video on boot up.. Screen goes black for about 5 to 7 seconds. The onboard network adapter is ok on down load, but is dead on up load. The speed was checked on 3 other computers on the same network all showing 65.3 down and 18.5 up. This board showed 61.2 down and .00 upload. The. cables were changed, but no difference. All settings were rechecked. Its dead. Keep loosing 2 of my 4 USB 3.0 drives. The mouse lags for about 10 seconds after the system is fully booted. I believe this board has some problems.
Other Thoughts: At first I though I had a bad install. So I wrote zeros to my drive and formatted and then reinstalled the entire works. I was hesitant to finish loading all my programs as I was frustrated at the performance of this board. I would take another one if I knew they could give me one that did just what they advertised.

This review is from: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming G1.Sniper Z5S LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Looks are amazing. Green and Black is absolutely gorgeous on the board. The quality of the PCB and components are TOP no better. Gigabyte is the best when it comes to that area. Bios is great too.
Cons: Killer LAN is GARBAGE!!!!! Seriously after using Intel LAN or even Realtek is an improvement over this thing. Also the sound pops and crackles randomly. Not too happy with that. Especially when the board is geared towards sound.
Other Thoughts: Good, But I have had better for cheaper. I am sure with a couple driver updates this will be an excellent board.

My Green PC Is Complete
This review is from: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming G1.Sniper Z5S LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Very Green, if you're trying to make a green themed pc the sniper series is really your only choice, and I'm glad I bought this board.
Cons: Very Stripped down board, but that is also why this is so much more affordable over the standard Sniper G1.
Other Thoughts: If you are looking for just a basic gaming rig and want to make it look pleasing to the eyes, this is the board for you. It may only have 6 SATA but they're all the Intel ones, no extra controller to worry about going wrong, and it doesn't have 4 PCI Express but for the price range you're probably not running 3/4-way SLI/X-Fire. It is a very simplified board, but as far as I'm concerned that's a good thing, if they could possible extend the board that 1/4" so we could have the 3 right sided atx screw locations I would consider this board perfect.

Summer Camps Featured on MetroScope
Gary Bloxom of MetroScope interviewed music faculty Emily Ross and Justin Smith about Marylhurst's summer camps.
This special hooding ceremony adds to the graduation experience by making it possible to focus on advanced degree candidates and their accomplishments. It allows graduate faculty and staff, family and friends a chance to witness the ceremonial hooding of the graduate student in a more intimate setting.
NOTE: This special hooding ceremony does not take the place of commencement. Graduate students are encouraged to celebrate their achievement by walking in commencement.
The origins of academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities were taking form. The hood that forms part of today's academic dress was originally a head covering for bad weather. Later it was dropped to the shoulders in the form of a small cape. Eventually, the hood became a separate piece of apparel bearing even more symbolism than the gown. Today, hoods are the most expressive component of the academic costume. They serve to communicate the owner's school, degree and field of study through their length and the colors of the lining and binding.
Today's hoods have evolved from a serviceable article of clothing to a type of elongated scarf draped over the shoulders and displayed down the back with the lining turned inside out.
Marylhurst University master's degree graduates and candidates receive their hood because of the level of education they have pursued beyond the baccalaureate degree. The Marylhurst University's colors are blue and gold, hence these colors on the hood. The velvet trim on the hood signifies the scholar's field.

What do I buy the preschool teachers for x-mas?
I am a teacher, and gift cards are always nice and very appreciated.
Mommy of Jack, 7/20/07
When I was teaching, my favorite gifts were the ones homemade (or a least partially homemade) by by students. Their help made the gifts special. Some of the most memorable... a painted votive candle holder, a homemade wooden "snowman", and a glittery snowflake pin.
If you choose to go the ever popular gift card route, have your child make cards to accompany the gifts.
The earth is made from stardust. Our bodies are made from the earth. We are the earth come to life. -S. Schimmel
If a giftcard (movie, coffee, etc)just is given then it really is nice to have a handmade card to go along.
cookies and candies are always welcomed and i know my family enjoys me sharing them. :-)
Honestly: some of my favorite gifts have been a simple homemade card from my students, a little beaded bracelet/necklace, etc. Something that they made but that doesn't need a place on a shelf at home, but can have a place on a shelf at christmas time at school.
This year for Christmas Dd and ds teachers will be given movie passes for 2. I can buy packs of movie tickets for cheaper at costco. They will each make cards too.

Last year DD and I made little baskets with homemade German Christmas Cookies and the teachers loved it

I'm a daycare teacher who works at the daycare where my dd goes. She has her main teacher from 7 (but we get there at 8:30) to 2, then that teacher goes home and another one comes in. I'm just gonna get her main teacher a gift because for one it's during those hours that they do all their art, circle time, music, lunch, nap, ect. From 2 to 5:30 they mainly have freeplay. Also, there are many different teachers that go in her room for the afternoon care and that is just too much to buy for.
As a teacher tho, anything is appeciated. We love our babies.
Don't forget the personal thank you!

Update on OlgaOlga used her previous loan to purchase winter clothing. The season was good, sales went well, and Olga was able to make an additional profit. She spent some of the profit on the family's needs and the rest on business expansion. This time, Olga is requesting a loan to purchase fall merchandise, such as sweaters, warm shirts and jackets, at a good price. Currently, she is able to buy merchandise at a discount, which will allow her to make an additional profit without raising her prices.

Additional Information
About HOPE UkraineHOPE International, a Christian faith-based non-profit organization, has been operating in Ukraine since 1997. HOPE Ukraine was the organization's first international venture. In addition to its core microfinance activities, HOPE also supports an active children's ministry in Ukraine in the form of "Tomorrow Clubs," after-school programs that teach children the gospel through games, skits and songs.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Penetration and shielding are two underlying principles in determining the physical and chemical properties of elements. We can predict basic properties of elements by using shielding and penetration characteristics to assess basic trends.
\[ F=k \dfrac{q_1q_1}{r^2} \tag{1}\]
The force that an electron feels is dependent on the distance from the nearest charge (i.e., an electron, usually with bigger atoms and on the outer shells) and the amount of charge. More distance between the charges will result in less force, and more charge will have more force of attraction.
In an ideal setting (for atoms at least), every electron should feel the same amount of "pull" from the nucleus. This means that the negative to positive charge ratio should be 1:1. However, that is not the case when observing atomic behavior. When considering the core electrons (or the electrons closest to the nucleus), the ratio is 1:1, or at least close to it. As you proceed from the core electrons to the outer valence rings of electrons, the negative to positive charge ratio falls below 1:1. This is because of shielding, or simply the electrons repelling each other, but these same core electrons penetrate and feel more of the nucleus than the other electrons.
\[ F_{electron-nucleus}=k \dfrac{Ze^2}{r^2} \tag{2}\]
Penetration describes the proximity of electrons in an orbital to the nucleus. Electrons which experience greater penetration experience less shielding and therefore experience a larger Effective Nuclear Charge (\(Z_{eff}\)), but shield other electrons more effectively. Electrons in different orbitals have different wavefunctions and therefore different distributions around the nucleus.However, contrary to what many think, penetration is not the outer electrons penetrating through the shield of the core electrons. It is actually just how well the electrons feel the nucleus. This is similar to the idea of outer electrons penetrating, but not the same. They are not the same because the core electrons have more penetration than the outer electrons since they (the core electrons) feel the strongest pull.
\[ F_{effective\; electron-nucleus}=k \dfrac{Z_{eff}e^2}{r^2} \tag{3}\]
To relate the idea of penetration, we can use the idea of \(Z_{eff}\) or the effective nuclear charge. It is essentially the number of protons' charge minus the number of electrons shielding- basically how effective the nucleus is at attracting the electrons. Since core electrons do not shield themselves, they penetrate the most and are exposed to the most (effective) nuclear charge.
Different orbitals have greater nuclear penetration than others. Penetration refers to how effectively electrons can get close to the nucleus. The electron probability density for s-orbitals is highest in the center of the orbital, or at the nucleus. If we imagine a dartboard that represents the circular shape of the s-orbital and if the darts landed in correlation to the probability to where and electron would be found, the greatest dart density would be at the 50 points region but most of the darts would be at the 30 point region. When considering the 1s-orbital, the spherical shell of 53 pm is represented by the 30 point ring.
In a multi-electron system, the penetration of the nucleus by an electron is measured by the relative electron density near the nucleus of an atom for each shell and subshell of an electron. For example, we see that since a 2s electron has more electron density near the nucleus than a 2p electron, it is penetrating the nucleus of the atom more than the 2p electron. The penetration power of an electron, in a multi-electron atom, is dependent on the values of both the shell and subshell of an electron in an atom.
Therefore, for the same shell value (n) the penetrating power of an electron follows this trend in subshells:
And for different values of shell (n) and subshell (l), penetrating power of an electron follows this trend:
and the energy of an electron for each shell and subshell goes as follows...
An atom (assuming its atomic number is greater than 2) has core electrons that are extremely attracted to the nucleus in the middle of the atom. However the number of protons in the nucleus are never equal to the number of core electrons (relatively) adjacent to the nucleus. The number of protons increase by one across the periodic table, but the number of core electrons change by periods. The first period has no core electrons, the second has 2, the third has 10, and etc. This number is not equal to the number of protons. So that means that the core electrons feel a stronger pull towards the nucleus than any other electron within the system. The valence electrons are farther out from the nucleus, so they experience a smaller force of attraction.
Shielding refers to the core electrons repelling the outer rings and thus lowering the 1:1 ratio. Hence, the nucleus has "less grip" on the outer electrons and are shielded from them. Electrons that have greater penetration can get closer to the nucleus and effectively block out the charge from electrons that have less proximity. For example, \(Z_{eff}\) is calculated by subtracting the magnitude of shielding from the total nuclear charge. The value of \(Z_{eff}\) will provide information on how much of a charge an electron actually experiences.
Figure 2: This image shows how inner electrons can shield outer electrons from the nuclear charge. Image used with permission from Wikipedia.
Because the order of electron penetration from greatest to least is s, p, d, f; the order of the amount of shielding done is also in the order s, p, d, f.
Since the 2s electron has more density near the nucleus of an atom than a 2p electron, it is said to shield the 2p electron from the full effective charge of the nucleus. Therefore the 2p electron feels a lesser effect of the positively charged nucleus of the atom due to the shielding ability of the electrons closer to the nucleus than itself, (i.e. 2s electron).
These electrons that are shielded from the full charge of the nucleus are said to experience an effective nuclear charge (\(Z_{eff}\))of the nucleus, which is some degree less than the full nuclear charge an electron would feel in a hydrogen atom or hydrogenlike ions. The effective nuclear charge of an atom is given by the equation:
\[ Z_{eff}=Z-S \tag{4}\]
We can see from this equation that the effective nuclear charge of an atom increases as the number of protons in an atom increases. Therefore as we go from left to right on the periodic table the effective nuclear charge of an atom increases in strength and holds the outer electrons closer and tighter to the nucleus. This phenomena can explain the decrease in atomic radii we see as we go across the periodic table as electrons are held closer to the nucleus due to increase in number of protons and increase in effective nuclear charge.
Example 1: Fluorine, Neon, and Sodium
What is the effective attraction \(Z_{eff}\) experienced by the valence electrons in the three isoelectronic species: the fluorine anion, the neutral neon atom, and sodium cation?
Each species has 10 electrons, and the number of nonvalence electrons is 2 (10 total electrons - 8 valence) but the effective nuclear charge varies because each has a different atomic number:
The actual charge \(Z\) of the nucleus of a fluorine atom is 9, but is screen appreciably by the core electrons (four electrons from the 1s and 2s orbitals) and partially by the 7 electrons in the 2p orbitals.
Diagram of a fluorine atom showing the extent of effective nuclear charge.
So the sodium cation has the greatest effective nuclear charge, and thus the smallest radius.
A radial distribution function graph describes the distribution of orbitals with the effects of shielding. The small peak of the 2s orbital shows that the electrons in the 2s orbital are closest to the nucleus. Therefore, it is the electrons in the 2p orbital of Be that are being shielded from the nucleus, by the electrons in the 2s orbital.
The following is the radial distribution of the 1s and 2s orbitals. Notice the 1s orbital is shifted to the right, while the 2s orbital has a node. The shift is due to the proximity of the electrons to the nucleus in the 1s orbital. Nodes may be determined by the formula: {(n-L-1)=nodes}, where "n" describes the "shell", or energy level the electrons reside, and "L" describes the orbital's angular momentum, or the "shape" of the orbital. Recall that L=0 corresponds to the s-orbital, L=1 to p-orbital, L=2 to d-orbital, and L=4 to f-orbital, and the s-shell consists of 1 atomic orbital, p-shell to 3 atomic orbitals, d-shell to 5, and f-shell to 7.

The lack of a tail defines the Manx cat -- even though some Manx are born with nearly normal tails or little stumps. That lack of a tail is also the primary health issue in Manx cats. The potential spinal defects are part and parcel of the gene that produces no tail in the breed.
Manx Syndrome
It's unlikely your cat will suffer from Manx syndrome, because most breeders don't allow kittens to leave before they are 4 months old. By that time, most affected kittens have shown signs of Manx syndrome, and likely have been euthanized. While sometimes the spinal issues are obvious in small kittens, often the signs don't appear until after the first month or more -- up to that four-month period. Kittens with Manx syndrome may have trouble walking, but more importantly, lack bladder and bowel control or suffer from colon defects.
Spinal Bifida
Spinal bifida occurs when the spinal cord's neural tube doesn't completely close. It's part of Manx syndrome, but some cats aren't so severely affected that euthanasia is necessary. Less affected cats may move with an odd, hopping gait, or not possess full use of the rear legs. Others may use more of the hind legs to move than a normal cat, walking on his hocks rather than his feet.
Manx Tail Arthritis
Even if your Manx was born with a long tail, it's likely the breeder had it docked when he was just a few days old. That's not purely for cosmetic purposes. As Manx cats with long tails age, the vertebrae calcify, becoming arthritic and quite painful, often requiring amputation. It's another side effect of Manx genetics. It's much easier for a newborn kitten to have the tail removed than to have the operation performed on a middle-aged feline.
Fetal Death
Female Manx usually have smaller litters than the typical cat. That's because approximately 25 percent of kittens conceived when two purebred Manx mate die in utero.

NORTH BONNEVILLE — With every passing adult fall chinook salmon at Bonneville Dam, a monster Columbia River return becomes a new record.
On Friday, the season's cumulative count topped the old mark of 610,000 tallied in 2003. Through Monday, the count totals 698,592.
The fall chinook run continues into December.
Why is this year's return a record?
Stuart Ellis of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission said the strong numbers are due in part to several high spring river flows, spilling water over dams, and good ocean conditions.
"This fall chinook run is not only big, but it's got a lot of natural-origin fish going to a lot of different places," Ellis said.
"This year's run of upriver fall chinook is through the roof, and a positive sign that regional efforts to rebuild this salmon population are making a difference," said Guy Norman, regional director of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Upriver fall chinook migrate north off Canada and Alaska, Norman said.
Obviously, ocean survival conditions were good, he added.
The Columbia River Technical Advisory Committee met Monday and projects 832,500 upriver bright fall chinook will enter the river in 2013. The initial forecast was for 434,600.
The Bonneville count is only a portion of the run. Sport and commercial catches in the lower Columbia add to the total.
Chinook crossing Bonneville Dam beginning Aug. 1 are classified as fall fish.
The fall run includes wild fish headed to the Hanford Reach, the free-flowing stretch of the Columbia downstream of Priest Rapids Dam. The fall run also includes hatchery chinook heading to a variety of facilities including Priest Rapids Hatchery on the upper Columbia and Lyons Ferry Hatchery on the lower Snake River.
The Technical Advisory Committee initially forecast that 36,300 tule (dark) stock fall chinook destined for Spring Creek National Fish Hatchery at Underwood in eastern Skamania County would enter the Columbia.
That number was upgraded on Monday to 69,000.
The highest daily chinook count at Bonneville Dam prior to this fall was 45,884 on Sept. 11, 2003.
That daily count was topped three times between Sept. 7 and 10, with the single-day fall chinook mark now being 63,870, tallied on Sept. 9.
Sport fishermen took advantage of the megarun of fall chinook.
At Buoy 10, the name given to the fishery between the mouth of the Columbia River and Tongue Point upstream of Astoria, the sport catch was the best in 25 years.
According to Washington and Oregon biologists, sportsmen made 37,200 trips from Aug. 1 to 22, keeping 15,500 chinook and releasing 4,100.
From Aug. 23 through Sept. 1, only hatchery chinook could be kept at Buoy 10. Biologists estimate there were 20,900 trips, with 6,800 chinook kept and 8,600 released.
Between Tongue Point and Bonneville Dam, the sport catch is the third highest since at least 1980.
So far, there have been 114,357 trips, with 26,137 adult chinook kept and 7,248 released. The record for kept chinook catch is 28,169 in 2011.
Joe Hymer, a biologist for the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, noted there are lots of jacks, 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds in this fall run, a good sign for a big return next year.
Ellis also said the recent counts are exciting.
"If we manage these fish correctly, and do the things that we need to do to take care of their habitat and take care of their passage conditions, it's possible to get big runs of fish," Ellis said.

Native American Project Struggles for Funding
Nichols, Max, THE JOURNAL RECORD
While we are anxious to see the opening of the new Arena, Downtown Library and Oklahoma City Museum of Art this year, long- range plans for still another major attraction are reaching a crucial stage.
That's the $120 million Native American Cultural Center, which is being designed for a 300-acre site on the North Canadian River near the junctions of Interstate 40 and Interstate 35. I have been writing about it since the early 1980s, and state Sen. Kelly Haney, a driving force in the project, once said he recalled talking about it back in the 1960s.
Now, the basic concept has been developed by Johnson Fain Partners of Los Angeles and Hornbeek Larsson Architects of Edmond. The "crucial" part, quite naturally, is funding.
The Native American Cultural and Educational Authority needs $13.5 million from the state of Oklahoma to qualify for $33 million in federal funds, said Executive Director Tommy Thompson. That's the crux of a complex situation, though it's just part of the overall funding.
The federal funds have been approved unanimously by the U.S. House of Representatives and stand a good chance of being approved by the Senate, but the $13.5 million in state money won't come easily. Gov. Frank Keating, the Legislature and state agencies are all struggling with major budget cuts this year because of the slumped economy.
While that struggle continues, it's important to understand how far the Cultural and Education Authority has come in developing this project, which could become a destination for tourists from all over the world. Certainly, it would add to the National Cowboy Museum and Heritage Center and the Oklahoma City National Memorial in making Oklahoma City a destination for people from all over the country.
Here's how the funding works:
Received so far are $6.5 million from the state and $5 million from Oklahoma City. That's a total of $11.5 million.
The project needs $13.5 million to reach the $25 million required to qualify for the $33 million expected in federal funds. Thompson said Sens. Jim Imhofe and Don Nickles are committed to leading Senate passage of the federal funds bill, which would supply $8.5 million a year over four years to keep the project moving.
Beyond that, however, the funding road to reach $120 million will not easy. Part of it has come in a donation of the 300-acre site valued at $10 million, including dirt from the project to develop the North Canadian into three lakes, but far more is needed.
Overall, the budget calls for $45 million from the state. That includes the first $6.5 million and the $13.5 million needed to qualify for federal funds. That means another $25 million will be needed in state funds over the course of the project.
In addition, the project calls for $19 million in private funds, with $100,000 received from the Phillips Petroleum, $5 million from the Corps of Engineers and $3 million in existing bond funds.
Anticipating that all that will happen, what will we get in the form of a cultural and educational center to attract visitors?
The basic concept, said architects Shaffer and Hornbeek, is to develop a center that will represent all Native Americans, including 59 tribes that are represented today. …

Our Middleman-Skimming Economy
Submitted by Charles Hugh-Smith of OfTwoMinds blog,
The Internet is enabling sellers and buyers to bypass the predatory State and the parasitic middlemen the State enforces.
Why do we read commentaries and analyses? To understand why the Status Quo is dying and to have a hand in shaping the new way of living that will replace it. Longtime correspondent Zeus Y. recently encapsulated the core dynamic of our era:
"Here's the deal between the two worlds right now: the Status Quo is dying but trying to take everything with it and the other is trying to hold the old world up enough to avoid complete collapse, buy time, and construct the airplane of the new world, all while flying."
Humans avoid changing current arrangements until there is no choice left but to change them--usually when the arrangement collapses in a heap. Greece is an interesting example of just this dynamic: the political parties left, right and center are desperate to keep the corrupt Status Quo intact, while those whose slice of the swag has vanished have already moved on to new arrangements that no longer depend on Central State swag or the many layers of middlemen that skimmed off most of the wealth for various monopolies, cartels and Elites:
After Crisis, Greeks Work to Promote 'Social' Economy.
Here's the Status Quo arrangement: the Elites trying to take everything they can before their vast skimming arrangement finally collapses:
Corruption in the EU and Greece (Acting Man)
Greek official bribed 'more times than he can remember'
At the time, Mr. Kantas, a wiry former military officer, did not actually have the authority to decide much of anything on his own. But corruption was so rampant inside the Greek equivalent of the Pentagon that even a man of his relatively modest rank, he testified recently, was able to amass nearly $19 million in just five years on the job.
Corruption across EU 'breathtaking' (BBC)
It's instructive to study the key strategy in Greece's social/community economy: get rid of the middleman.
There's a couple of things we need to understand about middlemen before we can grasp the revolutionary nature of a social/community economy.
A middleman adds value to both supplier and buyer by making transactions faster, easier and cheaper. A bank, for example, clears payments made with checks, and takes depositors' savings and loans the money out at interest to borrowers. Both of these transactions are fraught with various risks and complications, and the bank charges a fee for taking on the management of the transactions.
A wholesaler adds value by providing a market for both sellers and buyers that enables a transfer of risks and transaction costs to the wholesaler in exchange for lower prices to the seller and higher prices to the buyer.
The keys to this middleman economy are transparency, voluntary choices and the competition that arises in transparent voluntary markets. Middleman economies function for both sellers and buyers only as long as all transactions are voluntary and the costs and risks of using middlemen are transparent to all participants.
The problem, as Marx foresaw, is that profits are always at risk in such a competitive marketplace. Middlemen who raise their prices enough to skim big profits are soon abandoned by sellers and buyers who can get lower transaction costs elsewhere.
The ideal system for middlemen is the exact opposite of an open competitive market: low-risk fat profits flow to monopolies or cartels that obscure costs, and turn sellers and buyers into involuntary participants who have no other choice but to give money to the middlemen.
This is the middleman-skimming economy, in which middlemen are free to skim enormous profits from participants who've been left no other choice. The classic skimming middleman is of course the State (government), which holds a monopoly on violence and other forms of coercion (for example, threats from the F.B.I.: Green is the new red: Will Potter on the problem of treating environmentalists like terrorists).
Everyone who thinks the State is a warm and fuzzy uncle here to help the disadvantaged should study these paragraphs closely:
At the Tribune, I was covering breaking news, shootings, murders and local government, and it was all horribly depressing. It was not the type of thing I went into journalism to do. I had a background in college in environmental activism, and protesting the World Trade Organization and the economic sanctions on Iraq, and I wanted to be involved in something positive like that again. So I went out leafletting with a group of people. We just passed out pieces of paper in a residential neighborhood about animal testing. I thought that was the most I could do as a working journalist — something so benign. And of course, since I have the worst luck ever, we were all arrested and charged. It was the only time I've been arrested. Those charges were later thrown out, of course. It was a frivolous arrest. And it's still lawful to pass out handbills.
A couple weeks later, I was visited by two FBI agents at my home, who told me that unless I helped them by becoming an informant and investigating protest groups, they would put me on a domestic terrorist list. They also made some threats about making sure I wouldn't receive a Fulbright I had applied for, and making sure my girlfriend at the time wouldn't receive her PhD funding. I really want to think that I wouldn't be affected by something like that, especially given my activist background, but it just scared the daylights out of me. It really did. That fear eventually turned into an obsession with finding out how this happened, how nonviolent protesters are being labeled as terrorists.
They knew everywhere I worked, they knew my editors at the Tribune, they knew different journalism awards I received — and their message was, "Help us or we're going to put you on a different path." And they kept saying, "Don't throw all this away." And so at one point, I just said, "What are you going to make go away? This is a class C misdemeanor for leafletting, there's no way it's going to hold up in court, and you're talking about ruining my life." I of course never became an informant, and never thought about doing anything like that, but — it changed the focus of my work, without a doubt.
There's your warm and fuzzy State in action. I can attest from personal experience that these are exactly the same tactics used to suppress, undermine and criminalize the anti-war movement in the late 1960s and early 70s.
Pimping the Empire, Conservative-Style
Pimping the Empire, Progressive-Style
Substitute middleman-skimming operation for empire and you get the basic idea.
The State is thus the ultimate skimming middleman: Every transactional fee is set by a monopoly seeking maximum profit and/or leverage from every transaction.
In our middleman-skimming economy, the State partners with various private cartels to fix prices, guaranteeing immense profits for the corporate cartels and the State functionaries who enforce the involuntary trade.
Would you like to see the "competitive" healthcare available in your area? It turns out all the insurance plans are ultimately operated by two companies in the cartel--ditto for the hospitals, Big Pharma medications, and so on.
How about our "competitive" national defense weapons industry? Oops, there's only a handful of suppliers--or in many cases, one supplier. Here's your $1,000 hammer--sorry about the high cost, but our overhead costs include very large bribes paid to politicos under the polite guise of "campaign donations." We're sure you understand (snicker).
Higher education is another middleman-skimming operation. Want a degree that may (or may not) still have a few shreds of "value" in the real economy? Pony up $100,000, buster, or better yet, make that $200,000. Here's the friendly Federal government which will issue you the loans to pay us. Oh, and these loans can't be discharged in bankruptcy--they're due and payable for the rest of your days (with rare exceptions that require a full-time legal team and many years of effort).
In a no-middleman system such as the one I propose in The Nearly Free University and The Emerging Economy: The Revolution in Higher Education, students (buyers) pay the lecturers, working professionals/mentors, adaptive learning providers, etc. directly, cutting out the middleman universities entirely because the system is based on the professional model of accredit the student, not the institution.
The same elimination of middleman-skimming is possible in a cash-barter only healthcare system: The "Impossible" Healthcare Solution: Go Back to Cash (July 29, 2009).
The Internet is enabling sellers and buyers to bypass the predatory State and the parasitic middlemen the State enforces. Banks--no longer needed. Sickcare cartels--no longer needed. Higher education cartel--no longer needed.
If you still think all these cartels are essential, please re-read the article on how people find new ways of living and interacting once the corrupt skimming operations of the State and cartels collapse.
After Crisis, Greeks Work to Promote 'Social' Economy.
Collapse of this system is akin to the collapse of debt-based serfdom. It's called freedom, and it's only a disaster for the middlemen-skimmers. For the rest of us, it's a new arrangement with many advantages over the long term.

I won't dispute that a portion of the $1000 hammer is due to kickbacks, etc.
However, said hammer probably can't be procured unless it meets MIL-Spec requirements and has passed MIL-STD testing, none of which (inlcuding the record keeping) is cheap.
"That fear eventually turned into an obsession with finding out how this happened, how nonviolent protesters are being labeled as terrorists."
Something tells me this journalist probably also labels all small government activists and tea party members as terrorists, just a hunch after seeing journalist after journalist do so.
So that simple answer to her is that she has done the exact same thing to another group of people and supported the government in that. Now she is suprised that the system she supports is being turned on her.
Indeed. If she were a real journalist this likely wouldn't have been the first encounter.
I could hardly agree with this article more, except that we shouldn't fear the collapse.
It's what occurs after the collapse that frightens me the most...
Why??? If you see it coming and position yourself properly what is there to fear??? No One gets out of this life alive anyways, so whats the point of fearing it then??? Just my 2c
Every time someone uses their credit card, the bank skims about a minimum of 2.5% on the transaction. That's just for the merchants.
The Sheep allow them to rape them at over 18%. Talk about "skim". Use cash as much as possible, they don't get to skim you on that.
Not really the same thing - you can get "cash back" cards that cut you in for a share of the 2.5%, and you can get cards where no interest is charged if you pay in full every month. But, that's only because some competition prevails.
Every credit card is no interest if you pay in full every month. You get cash back? At the expense of the merchant? LOL. You don't get any cash back. Your prices are higher because you get some cash back. Its all an illusion to protect the skimmers.
every credit card is no interest if you never pay it.
1) get a really good credit rating
2) get about 500k in available credit
3) convert it to cash
4) head to costa rica
this is the most practical retirement plan in america today
Cash back?! Great way to get a check for 3 bucks at the end of the year. And no interest is charged when the balance is paid in full because there are still one or two laws protecting consumers. It has nothing to do with competition.
However, said hammer probably can't be procured unless it meets MIL-Spec requirements and has passed MIL-STD testing...
And who do you think paid for that MIL-STD testing requirement?
That's right, the manufacturers. The worst anti-capitalists are the big corps.
Re: However, said hammer probably can't be procured unless it meets MI-Spec requirements and has passed MIL-STD testing, none of which (inlcuding the record keeping) is cheap.
Yeah, and Big-MIC isn't socialism, and neither is Big-AG, and Big-Road. And the OldFarts aren't getting socialist medical care either because Medicare isn't socialism because even tho it's run by the government and paid for by the taxpayers the fact FACT(look it up) that OldFarts are getting the benefits when they are over 65 means it's not socialism: this is plainly written in the Australian School of Economic Truths (look it up, it talks about Medicare Part D not being socialist too).
Oh, this can't be true.
Any article with the word Marx must be written by a Communist who hate Merica, and the troops.
Everybody knows that environmentalist are trrrrrsss, and the FBI shouldn't have to follow the Constitution when dealing with trrrsss, because it's just a piece of paper: Obummer said so himself when he attacked Eye-Rack.
And, everybody knows that free-markets are natural and the middlemen would NEVER colluded because middlemen are honest hardworking Mericans who made this country great, not a bunch on welfare parasites! That's who is causing all these problems "those people" on welfare who forced honest hard working middlemen to collude against their desire to have an open and free market just as that Australian Economists said that things should be if everybody was nice; which honest hardworking middlemen are, not a bunch of Commies like the author of this article who loves Marx and hates the troops.
This is a non-topic IMO. Nothing can be examined critically as far as social issues without first removing the main instigator of all of it, the government.
Obviously, far more patient people will be willing to burn time discussing this in depth though.
I think the author is trying very hard not to mention the elephant in the room.
The guy in the mirror?
I honestly think the author lives in Wonderland and every day is Christmas for him.
This guy has been eloquently scripting sales pitches for transforming our financial system to a system based on Bitcoin but he is afraid to mention it. It's taboo at ZH dpending on the current price action since so many here are "married-afraid to divorce" to PMs.
Hey, I thought you left for Asia? ;)
I agree with you Charles.....but tell me... how can i afford to pay ridiculous property taxes which fund education and pay for a tutor. it can only work if my entire community goes off grid....I can't see that happening
I know many doctors who prefer cash to insurance plans however their are too many people on insurance plans due to the high costs of hospital visits. The insurance companies have them by the balls
Especially when most people IN the community work for the government, or work for a corporation profiting from the government, or are living directly off the government.
What percentage of the population likes things exactly the way they are? Most people are only pissed off that OTHER PEOPLE are getting government loot. The guy in the mirror (or his parents) never gets immoral government/corporate loot.
Bitcoin = no middle man
Can I use my money without using a computer and a satelite link between me and my 'Money'?
Can I carry it with me? Do I still have 'Money' if the internet is down?
If any answers are NO, then it seems there are alot of middlemen between me and my 'Money'
They're going to steal it all.
If you're 55 or more you better read this re: ACA.
Yves makes a valid point.
However she is firmly in the camp of believers that "we can slay the dragon [of authoritarian government] by playing by the rules more sophisticated than the rule makers."
Which makes her a useful idiot at best and a shill at worst.
Perhaps you'll like this better since this is where she got it.
How did you determine just what camp of believers she is in?
Did I miss a "she" change on ZH? The only Yves I ever met was a guy- just sayin'. The journalist in this article sounds like a guy, too- talks about a "girlfriend". Yet, early commenters referred to a "she" in their replies.
She's a she. Saw her on Moyers disecting CDS's w/ Matt Tiabbe.
Read her blog regularly for ~1.5 years.
Then it became too much for me, her constant "but we can't do THAT!" evasion of more radical measures if the more cautious ones have obviously failed (for example allowing big banks to go bankrupt.)
You know someone who sees all the wrongs, but then shys away from hard cuts without any clear reasoning in the end simply becomes a shill for the status quo preservers - even if only in very good disguise.
"This is the middleman-skimming economy, in which middlemen are free to skim enormous profits from participants who've been left no other choice."
Exactly, So, I always use cash if posible. No hands between me and who I am paying.
I like a lot of Smith's offerings. I did however note a glaring mistake that nearly everyone makes. He says "A bank, for example, clears payments made with checks, and takes depositors' savings and loans the money out at interest to borrowers."
That is what I used to think. However what I now know about the "Federal Reserve System" I learned from their own publication "Modern Money Mechanics". In that publication it says that banks are forbidden to lend depositor's assets or bank assets, period! Banks lend NOTHING but created fictitious currency. Your signature on a "loan note" Mortgage instrument is your own credit as a promissory debt obligation, not bank assets.
If you want to understand the Federal Reserve System and fractional reserve banking "Modern Money Mechanics" is a good place to start. You will then understand part of the fraud perpetrated by the banking cartel on the world. It is money created from nothing and you got to pay them a lot more of "nothing" back. It is one of the biggest scams in history.
Sure wish I could have been in his chair when the Fed's tried to blackmail for turning informant.....
I would love to see such a system. All I can speak of is up here in Canada where the universities went to town spending like drunken sailors to expand operations while credit is still expanding and at low levels up here. This of course is passed to the students tuition.
I am simply looking at the educational system. Look at the US model with its city like campuses that boast everything under the sun from AAA athletics to AAA degrees of importance (what ever those really are is anyones guess) but the infrastructure of middlemen is staggering from the million dollar a year coaches to the proessor salaries to the
incredible loans that it takes to maintain these small or ever large city like campuses. How many hundreds of thousands of jobs are not needed? How much administration could we do without? How many pensions of retired professors are being paid for. It is like a snowball rolling down the hill. It gets bigger and bigger and bigger until it breaks apart when it's size becomes too great.
the more i read the more i just want to pull my hair out..i believe the reason the 1 percent have all the asets and money is because they are the only ones who understand how to play the game. i would think a high percent of those who write and coment on these artiles are in the 1 pecent but i am beginning to believe 50 percent must have had their money give to them.
Now go one step further and understand the 1 percent are doing all they can to keep the game so complicated only they themselves understand them!
To be clear: Some complexity exists for good reason - but most is just voluntary, unnecessary overcomplexity nowadays to keep bureaucrats busy, the populace confused and aspiring competition ensnarled.
I do not quite get the hostility of some here toward Smith.
He does offer a lot in getting set to avoid the extremes of unpleasantness when TSHTF.
I kicked in for ten bux to buy his book as I have a smart two year old grandson that will need education outside of the rotten public schools and his parents will need some guidance on how to go about it.
Gary North has done a great deal to move along that way too.
The homeschool movement of the better quality has a great deal to offer.

Pam's Asiago and Rosemary Beer Batter Bread
Pam Ellingson @wmnofoz
I developed this recipe from a beer bread recipe on a food blog called FarmGirlFare.com after seeing it mentioned on another members post. I switched out the Cheddar for Asiago, and added rosemary, chives and garlic powder. I also increased the size of the recipe to accomodate my 10 inch bread pan. It is a moist, dense loaf with great texture, and tastes wonderful. Try it, you will like it.
- 5 c
- ap flour
- 1 2/3 Tbsp
- sugar (1tbsp plus 2 tsp)
- 1 2/3 Tbsp
- baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp
- salt
- 1 Tbsp
- rosemary, fresh, chopped very fine
- 1 Tbsp
- dried chives
- 1/8 tsp
- garlic powder
- 2 c
- asiago cheese, grated on a microplane (very fluffy) about 4 oz
- 20 oz
- coors beer
Directions Step-By-Step
1Preheat your oven to 375° (I use convection at 350°) and prepare a 10"x5x4 bread pan by spraying with cooking spray.
2Place flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder and herbs in a large mixing bowl. Shred your cheese with a microplane so it is very fine and fluffy. Measure by lightly tossing it into the measuring cup and avoid packing it together. (You may use slightly more than 2 cups) Add the microplaned cheese and stir in well, but gently so it will not clump up.
3Add the beer to the dry mixture and stir until just blended and no dry ingredients are seen. It will be a stiff batter. Place batter into prepared pan and even out the thickness of batter in the pan. Brush the top with the egg wash and place in preheated oven. Bake 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Cool on a rack in the pan for 10 minutes then turn out and cool at least another 10 minutes before slicing. (If you can wait)

How to Engage Hiring Managers Using Social Media

Job Search and Housecleaning: An Odd Couple?
by Georgia Adamson - Dec, 2012
I am not necessarily recommending that you start your job search planning by literally cleaning your house, but the combination of the two activities is not such an odd couple as you might think at first. Whether you are the kind of person who finds housecleaning (or cleaning in general) therapeutic–I am not!–you could find it useful to consider some of the key aspects of housecleaning and how those might translate to an eff...

Get Your Hands Dirty: Messy, Gross, Great-Paying Jobs
by Annie Favreau - Nov, 2012
There's no getting around it: some jobs have a high "ick" factor. In these so-called dirty jobs, you've got to deal with stuff that would gross most people out—like disease, waste or even death. But without these positions, society would be a whole lot messier. As the saying goes, "It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it." But here's the not-so-dirty little secret: these career paths actually come with big benef...
10 Mistakes to Avoid in a Confidential Job Search
by Georgia Adamson - Nov, 2012
In an ideal world, every job seeker could be open about the job search with colleagues, friends, family, and even employers. However, in reality you often won't want your employer to be aware of your job search—at least until you've secured your next position (offer letter signed off and accepted). This is generally known and respected in the business community and should not be held against you by the companies you apply to....
Top Three Mistakes that could Keep you Unemployed

Technically, there are hundreds of ways to sabotage [literally] a job search campaign, but for the purpose of this discussion, I will restrict myself to three common mistakes most job seekers make. Over the past few months, I have observed a steady (and measurable) increase in the number of candidates finding "meaningful" employment opportunities. This is certainly a refreshing change from the horrendous unemployment stori...
