Hey Guys!
Has anyone figured out a way to lower the output of the little clip-on flash, so that I can fire with flash in more rapid succession? I'm feeling limited by the refresh rate (feels like 2-2.5 seconds but I couldn't find a stat) of the on-board flash, since the strobes can definitely fire much faster then that.
Would love any suggestions!

"It changed me completely because I haven't always had an inner confidence," Simpson, 29, said Friday at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, Calif. "The journey really was finding something beautiful inside me, and [knowing that] I own it."
As a performer and celebrity, Simpson has been a shape-shifter in every sense of the word. She was a sexy vixen in short-shorts as Daisy Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard, but she's also tried to emulate iconic beauties, such as Lana Turner and Brigitte Bardot, in photo shoots for magazines from W to Vanity Fair.
Indeed, every aspect of Simpson's appearance – her bust size, hairstyle, weight, you name it – has been scrutinized and sometimes held up for ridicule in the media. Though sometimes hurt by the treatment she's received, Simpson says the commentary helped her gain perspective while working on The Price of Beauty.
"I've always had a calling to be a positive light and role model for girls and women in the world," Simpson says. "This show is my light. You'll see my life changed.
"[I've] had to go walk the runway with tall, skinny models, and I almost puked," Simpson added. "A runway? I'll be the first to fall on my face!"
One lesson she learned while filming her new show: "You can't let anyone else [define] beauty for you. I carry myself differently [now]. And any man I find, they are going to be darn lucky."
The Price of Beauty premieres on VH1 at 10 p.m., Monday, March 15.

On November 7th, the Young Executives of Color Program (YEOC) held its second session of the 2009-2010 school year. November's theme was Ethics and with the support of Ernst & Young, Jilberto Soto—a YEOC mentor—led an amazing day. After introducing students to the six pillars of ethics and sample frameworks, Jilberto started off the morning by asking students to create their own ethical mission statements. Creating statements allowed students to process the information as well as evaluate their own moral priorities. They then broke out into college prep groups for focus topics on UW admissions, planning for college, and academic success strategies.
Ernst & Young took center stage in the afternoon with presentations on resume building, negotiations, and ethics in the workplace. Students paired up and put their negotiation skills to the test – assuming the roles of a buyer and car salesperson. Teams were required to compromise on key issues with the ultimate goal of enlarging the pie for everyone involved. Some sellers drove a hard bargain though and buyers are still bitter today……. Ultimately the negotiation was a fun learning experience for students, showing them the importance of fair dealing and lifetime customers—if a seller wanted repeat sales—versus short term profits. How amazing is it that high school students can gain first hand experience with key business terms such as "distributive barganing" and "logrolling"?
The session concluded with announcement of team Femme Fatale Plus Deux as winners of October's photographic scavenger hunt competition. Cleary the group to beat!
A big thanks to Jilberto our project lead for the session!!
Thanks also to EY contributors: Yhoni Keleta, Annie Graebner, and Robiel Isaac!
And our college prep presenters: Jennifer Rance, Toka Valu, and Pam Lacson
Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is is politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.
–Martin Luther King Jr.

CORTLAND, N.Y. -- After their first day off since training camp began, the Jets were back on the field at SUNY Cortland under cloudy skies on a cool Tuesday morning.
Let's just cut to the chase and get right to breaking down some stuff we saw.
1. The defense teed off on the offense. Dennis Thurman had the D get after it all day long. At times it felt like an 11-on-11 drill actually had 13 guys on defense, and that all of them were rushing the passer. This made for some rough sailing for both Geno Smith and Michael Vick, which Darryl Slater gets into in some more detail here.
2. Another sloppy day. This is to be expected in camp, but especially after an off day. There were penalties and some drops and other missed assignments. "Sometimes you give guys an off day and things ... it's, like, I don't get it," head coach Rex Ryan said. "You're not as sharp, the focus doesn't seem to be there." Ryan felt the defense was better, but he didn't exactly want to give it a pass, either. "It's like my dad always used to tell me," Ryan added, referring to his father, Buddy, and his twin brother, Rob. "I'm going to make sure I hit both of you, to make sure I got the right one."
3. Dexter McDougle still getting reps with the starters. Dimitri Patterson continues to get most of the first-team snaps at left cornerback, but McDougle again got in there for several, too. Let's just say the third-round pick out of Maryland is still learning. He got beaten badly by wideout Stephen Hill at one point. "It's new," said defensive backs coach Tim McDonald. "The level of expectations are little bit different. You're going against the best of the best, week-in and week-out, and not just once in a blue moon."
4. Willie Colon came back ... and promptly drew a penalty. Colon, who had been out with a knee injury, returned to team drills on Tuesday, and right away he got flagged for a false start. Colon had led the Jets with 12 penalties (11 accepted) last year, which was just one shy of the league lead. He was visibly upset with himself afterward as he angrily got down to do push-ups, which all Jets employees do whenever there's a penalty.
5. Everything you wanted to know about Dee Milliner's practice. It's all right here, a minute-by-minute breakdown, from start to finish.
6. Zach Sudfeld getting first-team reps. Sudfeld, the big tight end, worked mostly with the backups and made a big catch over the middle at one point. Sudfeld had a good practice on Sunday, too. It's early in camp, but it's starting to look like the Jets might be cooking up different ways to use him.
7. Drops. We mentioned above that there were drops. In one-on-one position drills, Jalen Saunders, Quincy Enunwa, Jacoby Ford, and Eric Decker—believed to be his first of camp—all dropped passes. Ford also had a really bad drop in 7-on-7s on a throw from Vick in which he was wide open.
8. Who looked good? How about Greg Salas, Daryl Richardson. Salas had a few catches, but on one along the sideline, he did a terrific job getting his hands out to corral the ball. Later, he snared a quick 15-yard out in front of McDougle and somehow got his feet down. Richardson, meanwhile, show a quick first step in hitting the hole on more than one of his carries. He's probably fourth on the depth chart, but like Salas, he's definitely making a case for a roster spot.
9. Another tough day for Tajh Boyd. The rookie quarterback was picked off by Jeremy Reeves after basically heaving the ball up for grabs. And shortly afterward, on another snap, Boyd just up and dropped the ball.
10. Injury report. Lots to mention here. These guys all left practice early: Wideout David Nelson (groin), running back Bilal Powell (hamstring), running back Alex Green (chest), cornerback Ras-I Dowling (foot), tight end Colin Anderson (thumb), tight end Jace Amaro (knee). Safety Calvin Pryor (concussion), linebacker Antwan Barnes (knee), and defensive lineman Zach Thompson (shoulder) stayed in the rehab area. Wideout Quincy Enunwa (hip) was limited to individual and position drills.

Call target and walmart and find when they get their electronic shipments in and check back each week. They are going to tell you they don't know when they get it it just comes, so thats why you got to check back every week.
I'm finding it very hard to get hold of a nintendo wii
Every store I try has sold out and i'm not buying on ebay or amazing as it's over £250 compared to the £180 in the shops
Any help please? + rep to anyone that can help
Call target and walmart and find when they get their electronic shipments in and check back each week. They are going to tell you they don't know when they get it it just comes, so thats why you got to check back every week.
Don't Be A Fan Boy Its Not Benaficial
You need to speak to clerks at your local stores and ask them for recommended times to check back. Here in the U.S., places like Gamestop get some merchandise like Wii's via UPS, which for them usually comes around the same time. So if you were really into getting one, you could periodically call to see if any came in.
It has worked for many people so far.
ask gamestop or a game store or best buy when they get their shipments in, then just go there the day of when it opens and try to get one. PS my name is sam too! woo! good luck in your search. have you checked amazon.com?

RIP: Hidden in Plain View, Counterfit Pennies, The Early November
thanks to idjut for the sig!
I wouldnt just show up at opening for just any store. Large stores will not stock items as they get them, so for stores like that (Walmart, Target, Bestbuy) checking at opening is best. BUT for smaller stores like Gamestop, its best to check around the time they get their daily shipments in. Example: at my local Gamestop, the UPS guy usually gets their around 1:00pm, so thats the ideal time to call or stop by.
Edit: even if you dont see any systems on store shelves, it still helps to ask someone that looks knowledgeable and friendly, because often they will tip you off when you can get one.
Thanks for the suggestions, just that i've never heard of these stores as I live in the UK
You just gotta spam the store with calls
but seriously though, If you call stores such as Gamestop, EBgames, Target, WalMart, you'll eventually get an answer saying they have some in. Call everyday in the mornings, and in the afternoon. This should do it.
"We've all been down this path before
You're trapped in this town
And it wears you down
When we leave today maybe you'll understand
That this constant struggle isn't always in the palm of our hands."
I was gonna say that when I saw the british currency symbol. If you have any electronics/department store in the UK that sells TVs, stereos, video games, then you should call them constantly. If you know anyone that works at a electronics or a department store ask them if they can hold one for you. And if push comes to shove, then go with EBay unless youre will to shell out a lot of money.Originally Posted by Piggy-pack
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups! Be my friend <3
Right, this only counts if you live in england..Northern England.
Go the the Trafford Centre of a friday morning..get to GAME between 10.00 AM and 10.30 AM. You'll be sure to get one..but the place will still be crowded. My friend did this, and he managed to get hold of two XD
Oh, and the reason i say friday, is because most fridays is when GAME's stock comes in.
Enoch was right.
I recently got my Wii from Gamestation in Burton on trent, try sourcing one from them if you have a store near you. They had the best deal (for me) regarding games and price in my area! I am pretty sure they will let you pre order it for when they next geta delivery! Also, had a problem with one of my Wiimotes and they exchanged it straight away and threw in the Wii Play version for no extra money! (sounds like i work for them but i dont haha)
I would avoid GAME as they are as vague as possible about when they are getting any in and its a first come first get process there. Argos are pretty good at being able to let you know when they are getting them in even if it may not be for ages!
I hope you manage to find one, especially if its for a xmas present.

Commissioners asked to contribute toward EMA operation
May 27, 2013
LISBON — FirstEnergy is asking Columbiana County commissioners to begin contributing something toward the operation of the county Emergency Management Agency....
Shows the true colors of Mike Halleck...what a baby - someone calls you out on something - so you walk out of the meeting?? You pay more for someone who has no qualifications to run the EMA - but will give him raises when he does get those qualifications. Or maybe its nepotism at its finest...people getting hired because of their name. You hire someone and pay them more on someone else's dime - and when they ask you to ante up you cry like a baby.

Culture shock in London. Especially after Moscow.
The big news seems here to be that the BBC broadcast Jerry Springer: The Opera last night. It is a West End musical starring David Soul (Starsky and Hutch) that contains some 300 swear words and depicts Jesus Christ wearing a diaper and as "a bit gay."
This is the kind of camp stuff that was going on the in USA in the 1990s that almost led to the elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts. Now the BBC has gotten some 40,000 protest letters and the Conservatives want to punish the network.
The whole thing seems pretty stupid in a world after 9/11. Radio Four had an interview with David Soul and a Christian critic, and there was a time warp quality. Don't we have more important issues facing us right now than Jerry Springer? (Is he still on the air?) Plus the Christian was saying the BBC should do good, high-quality stuff and the American tv actor was saying the BBC should air crap. How embarrassing! American TV can air crap, but if the BBC has any justification for its existence at all, it is that it shows good TV.
The tube is full of advertisements threatening people that they will be fined 1000 pounds if they don't pay their BBC licence fee. Sitting on the train, you stare at a poster saying something like 'We have a database of every television license in England' and the TV police will track you down if you don't pay up.
I interviewed Michael Grade, now head of the BBC, when I did my Masterpiece Theatre book--he produced some wonderful British classic costume dramas for the Mobil Corporation. Now, as George Bush the First used to say, his BBC is in 'deep doo-doo'. No wonder people are mad--they can go to jail here if they don't pay the BBC for Jerry Springer.
No wonder, that London seems paradoxically crappy. There's still the charming English historical stuff, but contemporary British culture seems to be pure 'rubbish,' to use an old-fashioned English term.
We didn't see the Jerry Springer BBC TV special because last night we went to the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Romeo and Juliet at the Albery Theatre in Leicester Square.
Not much better. We walked out at halftime. The best thing about it was the nice old West End theatre. Juliet was a poor man's Gwyneth Paltrow, Romeo noone at all. The production was of the dreadful Shakespeare's Bawdy codpiece-grabbing smutty school that is all too widely spread in the US. Leering and bellowing. Yuck.
Perhaps this reflects a past power struggle at the RSC. A couple of years ago we saw some terrific productions in the Barbican. Then it was announced they were shutting down due to some sort of god-knows-what British intrigue and financial problems. They were completely closed in London for a long time. We eagerly awaited the RSC London reopening. Because we were there on the last night in The Pit, when the RSC actors cried and recited Prospero's speech from The Tempest about revels being ended. It was fantastic, memorable, theatrical, emotional. Brilliant.
That was then. Now, the RSC seems to have reinvented itself, almost the Jerry Springer Shakespeare Company.
The capper to our lousy night at half of Romeo and Juliet was seeing the homeless people camping out in the subway tunnels leading to Charing Cross tube station. The scene reminded us of New York City before Mayor Giuliani.
What's wrong with these people?

NEW PHILADELPHIA A new complex along U.S. Route 30 outside of Lisbon is being constructed to replace a maintenance facility being used by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT.)
ODOT announced the Columbiana County facility will be a bigger better version of the 45-year-old former maintenance facility. The work cost $7.6 million and will include an additional 4,000-ton salt structure next to the existing 4,000-ton structure, separate buildings for equipment and truck storage, a mechanical service area, a wash bay, fuel station, material lay down area and main garage building with offices.
The demolition began Tuesday, and the 34 full-time county workforce has been temporarily relocated to the Columbiana Park District at 300 S. Jefferson St. in Lisbon.

The 45-year-old Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Columbiana County maintenance facility on U.S. Route 30 in Center Township has been demolished to make room for a new $7.6 million complex to be constructed by Regency Construction Services out of Lakewood. The new complex will include: a main garage building with offices, a fueling station, a material lay down area, a wash bay, a mechanical service area and truck and equipment storage buildings. An additional 4,000-ton salt structure will be built next to the existing structure. Columbiana County's 34 full time ODOT workers maintain 654 lane miles and 189 bridges. Related story on page 2A.

ODOT District 11 Deputy Director Lloyd MacAdam said in the release, "This investment in eastern Ohio's transportation system will improve customer service and the overall efficiency of our operations."
The 34 local employees are responsible for maintaining 654 lane miles and 189 bridges.
The prime contractor for the design-build project is Regency Construction Services of Lakewood, and some site work is expected to be completed next spring, according to the release.
Design-build means design and construction are taking place at the same time, reducing the overall schedule for faster completion.
"We've chosen this contracting method with a very aggressive schedule to ensure that our workers are back and in this new facility before next snow and ice season," MacAdam said.
The workers are expected to be back on site sometime in November.

I will always remember Penn State's last trip to Minnesota, in 2010, because things got a little crazy.
The Nittany Lions won 33-21. Starting quarterback Rob Bolden had to leave the game with a concussion. And his fill-in, some guy named McGloin (I think his first name is Matt), threw a pair of touchdown passes to Derek Moye to save the day for PSU.
Little did I know (little did anyone know) that game was the start of something big for Matt McGloin. He blossomed into one of the leaders of the 2012 team that finished 8-4. And he is now a member of the Oakland Raiders.
Penn State returns to the scene of McGloin's first big day Saturday and the 5-3 Lions are facing a far better Minnesota team this time around.
The Golden Gophers are 7-2 and have won three-straight Big Ten games (Northwestern, Nebraska and Indiana). They have an impressive running game, an improving quarterback in Philip Nelson, and a defense led by 6-6, 311-pound defensive tackle Ra'Shede Hageman.
This is a pretty solid Big Ten team, a team that is playing with a lot of confidence. You wonder about Penn State's confidence Saturday given the Lions' road struggles against Indiana (44-24) and Ohio State (63-14).
Two big keys for Penn State will be a better first-quarter start and the defense's play against the run.
The Lions have not scored a point in the first quarter of their three road games. They must find their way into the end zone early against Minnesota.
And there is nothing fancy about the Gophers' offensive attack. They will try and maul PSU at the line of scrimmage and pound away with the run. Minnesota averages about 220 yards per game.
If the Gophers run the ball that well against the Lions, I don't give PSU much of a chance at earning its sixth win.
PLAYERS ON THE SPOT: Penn State's offensive line. The Gophers have some good players up front and Bill O'Brien likes to throw. How many times will QB Christian Hackenberg get hit in this one?
DON'T BE SURPRISED IF: Minnesota approaches 40 points. The Gophers have a dual-threat QB and the Lions' defense may struggle after halftime.
PREDICTION: Don't see it. Minnesota is better than the Indiana team that beat the Lions by 20. Form will hold Saturday. MINNESOTA 38, PENN STATE 30.

In a radio interview with WBNS in Columbus, Ohio, former Ohio State linebacker Chris Spielman said he heard Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor was allowed "to operate by his own set of rules."
The ESPN college football analyst had plenty to say about the situation in Columbus. Here is some of what he said, according to SportsRadioInterviews.com.
"I think he's played his last game. What would I do? I mean I would do a real investigation if it's true. I don't know if you guys have heard this. I've heard through players, former players, that TP operated and was allowed to operate by his own set of rules. Being late to meetings. Being late to practice. Not showing up for workouts. I don't know if that's true or not true. If it is I'm so disappointed in the leaders of the team that allowed that to go on, that allowed a player, not to show up without either confrontation, physical or verbal first, physical if necessary.
"If the coach or coaches would not back you up in allowing this behavior to go on and him operating by his own set of rules then that is the coaches responsibility, so if he is allowed to continue and if I made that decision that yes he should be allowed to come back after five games it would be under a zero tolerance policy. That would mean if he was two seconds late for a meeting bye, bye. That's how I would operate. I would have to go by my initial gut reaction to that. I don't know if you guys heard that or not, but that's what I heard. He operated under his own set of rules."

Washington Township in Gloucester County isn't the only Washington Township singing the "Which Washington Township? Blues."
There are six at last count, and that does make for some confusion.
In Washington Township, Mercer County, there's a move afoot to change the municipality's name officially to Robbinsville Township. The change will be on the ballot in November's general election, according to a story in the Times of Trenton.

SHELBY - Shelby went to the free throw line 20 times Friday night, and made 17.
Columbian went three times, and didn't make a foul shot.
"There was certainly a discrepancy, wasn't there?" Tornadoes coach Bill Beaston asked rhetorically after his team fell, 56-43, to the Whippets. "I think we worked hard to get calls. Unfortunately, we didn't, they did. I guess they earned free throws a little bit better than we did tonight."
Shelby led most of the way, grabbing an 18-13 lead after the first quarter and increasing its advantage at each stop. The Tornadoes made a bit of a run in the fourth quarter, cutting a 12-point deficit down to six on a Josh Flint 3-pointer with 4:50 left in regulation, but were unable to get closer.
Shelby coach Troy Schwemley said free throws were a big factor in his squad hanging on.
"We've shot a lot of free throws in the three games we've played," Schwemley said. "That was something we talked about: Getting to the rim, being aggressive. When you end up outscoring a team by that margin, that's the difference in the game right there. Definitely happy with the amount of free throws, and with the amount of how many we made."
Grant Fenner led the Whippets (2-1, 1-1 Northern Ohio League) with 18 points and nine rebounds. Fenner was especially strong in the first half, scoring 14 points and knocking down a 3 just before the first quarter buzzer.
Fenner was quieted in the second half, but teammate Austin Rohde stepped up to take his place, scoring 11 of his 17 points after the break.
"We probably didn't do a good enough job getting the ball to Grant in the second half," Schwemley said. "Grant was having a really nice first half; glad Austin made some shots, but Tiffin did a nice job of tightening up on Grant."
Beaston, who watched his team fall to 1-2, 0-1, was disappointed in TC's defense.
"I thought we lacked energy tonight, especially on the defensive end," he said. "If we lack energy defensively, we're not going to be very good. We have to be a team that defends first."
Columbian's leading scorers were Cody Daniel and Derek Dryfuse, who each registered 10 points. Schwemley said he was worried about defending TC's point guard, Bryce Lonsway, who scored eight.
"Their point guard, Bryce Lonsway, is so good at penetrating and creating for others," Schwemley said. "I don't think you want to be in a one possession game with him with the ball down the stretch. One of our keys was limiting his looks, because he does so much to get others open. He still did it throughout the game, but it never seemed like they were able to get it close enough."

Just last week I posted some hike write-ups in Franklin Canyon Park. I enjoyed the park a lot, but wondered about the closures of certain trails and why the Hastain Loop was littered with fences and what appeared to be cameras.
Apparently, the gates were for portions of the trail that left National Park Service land and entered private land (PDF) partially owned by developer Mohamed Hadid. Hadid had been trying to stop hikers from using the trail on his land and, according to the Save Franklin Canyon site, is also trying to level the high point of the Hastain Loop that I wrote up – which is sadly by far the best view in the entire park.
This week, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge ruled that Hadid can no longer restrict access to the trail, and must also remove all fences and construction equipment along the trail as well. In California, private land that is in continuous use by the public for five years is automatically considered a public easement if the private owner doesn't do anything in that five year period, or if the land has a history of public use. When Hadid purchased the land in the early 2000s, the public right of way was already well-established. A similar case is being worked out with Runyon Canyon's infamous Pink House.
I'm sure this will continue to go through the courts for a while, but at least for the time being hikers have won a major victory in the park.

Stopping in today to share a few photos of our bedroom. I realized that with the move coming up I should probably share a few of my favorite aspects of our current bedroom before I have to box everything up.
I kind of feel like our bedroom has been the most neglected room in the house (poor guy). We don't really "hang out" in there and it's seem more as a place to sleep and store clothes. There's usually piles of laundry scattered around and most certainly an unmade bed. In the new house, the bedroom is getting bumped up on the priority list ;)

Progress is made from equal parts inspiration, perspiration and subversion. All great ideas start as rogue thoughts, beyond the paradigm of the current, but eventually that idea becomes the status quo and it must be crushed to make way for the next great innovation; that is the natural cycle of progress. In terms of solid state drives, we have seen SandForce controllers rise toward market domination, mainly because of the affordability they present, at a time when SSDs were beyond most users' budgets. Rapidly dropping SSD prices are changing the storage landscape once again, however, and the world is ready for a fresh new idea to take over.
After OCZ acquired Indilinx in early 2011, industry insiders were abuzz with the possibilities that could come down the pike. A year later, OCZ's ownership of Indilinx properties means that they are in a unique position where they don't have to rely on SandForce controllers for their mainstream line. Fusing Marvell silicon and Indilinx firmware, the result is the next generation Vertex 4 SSD.
The OCZ Vertex 4 is the latest addition to the award-winning Vertex family utilizing an Indilinx-infused Everest 2 platform. The OCZ Vertex 4 uses dual Arm controller architecture for leading speed and reliability. The OCZ Vertex 4 is also equipped with Ndurance 2.0 technology for advanced NAND flash management and long-life reliability, able to withstand many read and write cycles. OCZ offers the Vertex 4 in capacities ranging from 64GB through 512GB with up to 550 MB/s sequential reads and up to 85,000 random write IOPS. OCZ backs the Vertex 4 with an industry-leading 5-year warranty, higher than any SSD OCZ has ever released.

When we think of summer jobs, we often think of teenagers and college students home for the break. We might even think of pre-teens looking for little jobs [3] to do around the neighborhood. Summer jobs for adults don't seem to enter into the picture. However, with the employment market recovering slowly, and with some adults looking to make up lost hours, some of those college students and teenagers might find themselves competing for positions with older adults.
Whether you have seen a reduction in hours, or whether you are just looking for a little supplemental income this summer, an extra job can be just the thing. Here are some things to think about if you are an adult looking for a job:
If you Don't Already Have a Job: Resorts, Hotels, and Summer Camps
For adults who don't have another job, there are a number of jobs that can be done during the summer time. You can see what seasonal opportunities there are at resorts, hotels and summer camps. Check with local marinas, parks and campgrounds. If you enjoy working with children, you can look for jobs at summer camps or day camps. Apply to be a tour guide at nearby historical sites and attractions if you know a lot about your area. If you don't mind traveling and need the job [4], you can apply at amusement parks and tourist attractions in other states.
Even if you have a day job, you can hire on for evening work at nearby seasonal resorts. In some cases, local hotels might hire more help for evenings at the restaurant or bar, and you could do that in addition to your more traditional 9-to-5 job. Find out what summer seasonal opportunities are available in the early morning as well. If you don't have to be in until a little later, you might be able to pick up a three hours helping at a resort hotel's 5 am to 8 am breakfast. You might be surprised at the seasonal options in your local area.
Working Around Your Day Job: Evenings and Weekends
During the summer, you might find that you have some options for finding work in your locality. In my college town, there are a number of retail, fast food, restaurant and calling center jobs available during the summer months as the students go away. In many cases, it is possible to find work in the evenings and weekends. An increase in business is expected — coinciding with a decrease in workforce.
Apply at jobs around town. If you are willing to work evenings, weekends and holidays, you might discover that there are a number of options available to you. One of the best options for many is bar tending or waiting tables. You can really clean up in tips if you work in the right place, and you rarely have to work during the day.
Creating Your Own Job
In many cases, it is possible to create your own job [5] as an adult. You can offer a variety of services to work around your own schedule. These services can include:
- House cleaning
- Yard care
- Landscaping
- Minor maintenance and repairs
- Hauling (helpful if you own a truck)
- Helping others with computer research
- Day care/babysitting
These are all services that many people need during the summer. Hire yourself out for services on the weekends, or on days when you aren't working. Just make sure that you have all of the proper licenses that might be required in your state.
What other summer jobs can you think of for adults?

Aloe vera, pronounced , also known as the true or medicinal aloe, is a species of Succulent plant in the genus Aloe that is believed to have originated in the Sudan. Aloe vera grows in arid climates and is widely distributed in Africa, India, and other arid areas. The species is frequently cited as being used in Herbal medicine. Many scientific studies of the use of extracts of Aloe vera have been undertaken, some of them conflicting. Despite these limitations, there is some preliminary evidence that Aloe vera extracts may be useful in the treatment of wound and burn healing, minor skin infections, Sebaceous cysts, Diabetes, and elevated Blood lipids in humans. These positive effects are thought to be due to the presence of compounds such as Polysaccharides, Mannans, Anthraquinones, and LectinsLectins.[1][2][3]
Aloe vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed Succulent plant growing to 60–100 cm (24–39 in) tall,spreading by Offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on the upper and lower stem surfaces. The margin of the leaf is serrated and has small white teeth. The Flowers are produced in summer on a spike up to tall, each flower pendulous, with a yellow tubular corolla 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in) long. Like other Aloe species, Aloe vera forms Arbuscular mycorrhiza, a Symbiosis that allows the plant better access to Mineral nutrients in soil.[4]
The natural range of Aloe vera is unclear, as the species has been widely cultivated throughout the world. Naturalised stands of the species occur in the southern half of the Arabian peninsula, through North Africa (Morocco, Mauritania, Egypt) as well as Sudan and neighbouring countries, along with the Canary, Cape Verde, and Madeira Islands. This distribution is somewhat similar to the one of Euphorbia balsamifera, Pistacia atlantica, and a few others, suggesting that a dry sclerophyl forest once covered large areas, but has been dramatically reduced due to desertification in the Sahara, leaving these few patches isolated. Several closely related species (or sometimes identical) can be found on the two extreme sides of the Sahara: Dragon trees and Aeonium being some of the most representative examples.
The species was introduced to China and various parts of southern Europe in the 17th century. The species is widely naturalised elsewhere, occurring in temperate and tropical regions of Australia, Barbados, Belize, Nigeria, Paraguay and the US It has been suggested that the actual species' distribution is the result of human cultivation and that the taxonomy could be doubtful too.[5]
Alternative names
- In India, Aloe vera is known as Korphad, Kattar vazha and various other regional names.
- In Nepal it's known as "Ghiu Kumari".
- In Pakistan, the plant is known as Quargandal.
- In Indonesia, it is known as Lidah Buaya (or "Crocodile's Tongue").
- In Thailand, it is known as the "Crocodile Tail".
- In Vietnam, it is known as the "Nha Đam" plant.
- In the Philippines, it is often called either "Savia", "Savila", or "Sabila".
Scientific evidence for the cosmetic and therapeutic effectiveness of aloe vera is limited and when present is frequently contradictory. Despite this, the cosmetic and alternative medicine industries regularly make claims regarding the soothing, moisturizing, and healing properties of aloe vera, especially via Internet advertising. Aloe vera gel is used as an ingredient in commercially available Lotions, Yogurt, Beverages, and some Desserts.
Aloe vera juice is used for consumption and relief of digestive issues such as Heartburn and Irritable bowel syndrome, although it bears significant potential to be toxic when taken orally. It is common practice for cosmetic companies to add sap or other derivatives from Aloe vera to products such as Makeup, tissues, Moisturizers, Soaps, Sunscreens, Incense, Shaving cream, and Shampoos. Other uses for extracts of aloe vera include the dilution of Semen for the artificial fertilization of sheep, use as fresh food preservative, and use in Water conservation in small farms. The supposed therapeutic uses of Aloe vera are not exclusive to the species and may be found to a lesser or greater degree in the gels of all aloes, and indeed are shared with large numbers of plants belonging to the family Asphodelaceae. Bulbine frutescens, for example, is used widely for the treatment of burns and a host of skin afflictions.
Aloe vera has a long association with Herbal medicine, although it is not known when its medical applications were first suspected. Early records of Aloe vera use appear in the Ebers Papyrus from 16th century BCE, in both Dioscorides' De Materia Medica and Pliny the Elder's Natural History written in the mid-first century CE along with the Juliana Anicia Codex produced in 512 CE. Aloe vera is non-toxic, with no known side effects, provided the Aloin has been removed by processing. Taking aloe vera that contains Aloin in excess amounts has been associated with various side-effects. However, the species is used widely in the traditional herbal medicine of China, Japan, Russia, South Africa, the United States, Jamaica, Latin America and India.
Aloe vera may be effective in treatment of wounds. Evidence on the effects of its sap on wound healing, however, is limited and contradictory. Some studies, for example, show that aloe vera promotes the rates of healing, while, in contrast, other studies show that wounds to which aloe vera gel was applied were significantly slower to heal than those treated with conventional medical preparations. A more recent review (2007) concludes that the cumulative evidence supports the use of aloe vera for the healing of first to second degree burns. In addition to topical use in wound or burn healing, internal intake of aloe vera has been linked in preliminary research with improved blood Glucose levels in Diabetics, and with lower blood Lipids in hyperlipidaemic patients, but also with acute hepatitis (liver disease).In other Diseases, preliminary studies have suggested oral aloe vera gel may reduce symptoms and inflammation in patients with Ulcerative colitis. Compounds extracted from aloe vera have been used as an Immunostimulant that aids in fighting cancers in cats and dogs; however, this treatment has not been scientifically tested in humans.
Topical application of aloe vera may be effective for Genital herpes and Psoriasis. However, it is not effective for the prevention of radiation-induced injuries. Although anecdotally useful, it has not been proven to offer protection from sunburn or suntan. In a double-blind clinical trial, both the group using an aloe vera containing Dentifrice and the group using a fluoridated dentifrice had a reduction of gingivitis and plaque, but no statistically significant difference was found between the two.
Aloe vera extracts might have Antibacterial and Antifungal activities, which possibly could help treat minor skin infections, such as Boils and benign skin Cysts and may inhibit growth of fungi causing Tinea. For bacteria, inner-leaf gel from aloe vera was shown in one study to inhibit growth of Streptococcus and Shigella species in vitro. In contrast, aloe vera extracts failed to show antibiotic properties against Xanthomonas species.[6]
Culinary uses
Aloe is also used as a food substance. Some molecular gastronomists have begun to take advantage of its gelling properties. Perhaps the most notable among these is Chef Quique Dacosta's "Oysters Guggenheim," created at El Poblet in Spain.[7]

Among the biggest winners in Friday's early trading are Smith & Wesson (Nasdaq: SWHC) and Cooper Cos. (NYSE: COO).
Soon after President Obama took office, gun sellers did a brisk amount of business on fears that firearms laws would soon become more restrictive. This chart of gun maker Sturm Ruger (NYSE: RGR) paints quite a picture. Its shares rose nearly 1,000% before a recent pullback.
More recently, these stocks have been cooling off under the theory that "everyone who wants a gun now has a gun."
Unlike Sturm Ruger, Smith & Wesson had not previously been as much of a beneficiary of the "gun trade." While Sturm Ruger's sales grew 81% in the first three years of President Obama's term, Smith & Wesson's sales grew a more modest 22%, or less than 10% annually.
Perhaps the company's current momentum is a sign of rising appeal among gun owners for Smith & Wesson. A positive sign for future results: Smith & Wesson's backlog spiked 130% from a year ago to $392 million.
Looks can be deceiving
When a company tops profit forecasts, you need to dig deeply into the numbers to see just why the quarter was so good. That thought comes to mind after parsing the results of Cooper Cos., a healthcare firm that primarily focuses on contact lenses and women's healthcare. Though Cooper delivered a stellar quarterly report Thursday evening and though shares are hitting new all-time highs, looks can be deceiving when it comes to the company's growth prospects. Earnings per share (EPS) grew an impressive 26% in the company's fiscal third quarter, to $1.36, but sales grew just 8%, to $378 million. For a bit of context, Cooper has not boosted sales in any given year in the past decade, except when it has made an acquisition.
Third-quarter earnings were almost completely due to a lower-than-expected tax rate. In other words, investors are bidding up a stock 7% this morning that really just met estimates (when lower taxes are excluded).
Make no mistake, Cooper's projected profit growth is decent. Citigroup has just upgraded its earnings model and sees earnings rising 11% this year to $5.06, 11% in fiscal (October) 2013 to $5.61 and 12% in fiscal 2014 to $6.28. Yet shares now trade for more than 15 times that fiscal 2014 forecast, and it's very hard to justify any higher multiple than that. This is a solid company, but you want to own it when shares are not quite so fully valued.
Action to Take --> Smith & Wesson has already made a huge run off its low, though it could keep rallying if the odds that President Obama wins re-election continue to strengthen. Analysts at Benchmark Capital see further upside to $13 or around 13.5 times this fiscal 2014 EPS estimate of $0.96. The very strong backlog implies that the stock should at least be able to hold its own in the near-term. The biggest risk: A Romney victory, which cools off the "gun trade."

The last Plantagenet alliance was not, if we're entirely honest, a resounding success. It ended with the body of the leader, Richard III, being dragged in ignominy through the streets of Leicester before being lost for centuries beneath what became a council car park.
So hopes were not high at the High Court yesterday for the case of Plantagenet Alliance Ltd vs Council & College of Canons of the Cathedral of St Martin, as a small band of Richard III enthusiasts fought a latter-day Lancastrian hegemony, in the hope of returning their murdered sovereign to his York home.

Two Dimmitt residents are in custody for allegedly selling drugs out of their home.
Raul Herrera, 53, and his wife, Carolina Herrera, 59, were arrested Thursday when Drug Enforcement Administration agents raided their house, the culmination of a six-month investigation.
Agents seized scales, 5.6 grams of cocaine and 11.8 grams of methamphetamine worth a total of $2,050, said Special Agent Terri Wyatt, public information officer for the Dallas Division of the DEA. Agents also took more than $12,000 in cash and a 1996 Cadillac. Other drug paraphernalia also was seized, according to law enforcement.
Raul Herrera has been charged with two counts of manufacturing or delivery of a controlled substance over four grams and under 200 grams. His bond was set at $400,000.
Carolina Herrera was charged with one count of manufacturing or delivery of a controlled substance over four grams and under 200 grams and manufacture or deliver of a controlled substance under 1 gram. Her bond is set at $220,000.
Castro County District Attorney James Horton said the DEA was asked to join the investigation because of the small-town nature of Dimmitt.
"Everybody knows everybody," Horton said. "It's hard to get a confidential informant on a deal like that."
Horton said additional charges could be filed against the couple.
Also arrested in the raid were Simon Tovar, 31, of Hereford and Irene Villegas, 45, of Dimmitt. Tovar was charged with possession of marijuana under 2 ounces, and his bond was set at $1,000. Villegas was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, and her bond was set at $500.
All were booked into the Castro County Jail.
Support also was provided by the Lamb County Sheriff's Office, Texas Department of Public Safety, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the Dimmitt Police Department.

Issuance in the cat bond market fell greatly last year. Will the ILS market bounce back this year?

lehman brothers
The insurance-linked securities (ILS) market all but ground
to a halt in the latter part of 2008. After years of growth,
capped by 2007's $13.7bn record issuance, the market suffered a
big setback in 2008 as figures dropped to $3bn.
With the global economy in turmoil it remains to be seen
whether the ILS market will bounce back and show that last year
was merely a blip or whether the market is dying out.
Cat bonds make up a large chunk of the ILS market and saw a
62% drop in issuance and a 52% drop in transaction count last
year compared with 2007, when figures hit a record $7.1bn. Cat
bond issuance fell to $2.7bn in 2008.

With an excess of capacity in the traditional reinsurance
market during the first three quarters of the year caused by
two quiet catastrophe years, issuance in...

1690 Nixon Drive
With tons of chain restaurants popping up all over the Moorestown Mall area, Al Dente Italiana (right across from the mall) is a fresh face among the crowd.
Called a "casual Italian restaurant that's a little bit more upscale," by Ken Knief, director of operations at Al Dente Italiana, the restaurant boasts fresh ingredients.
"We have a lot of familiar items," he said. "It's not uber-fancy, but we've been well received over the past few years."
The restaurant, open for nearly three years now, offers traditional Italian comfort food. And most everything is "made from scratch," Knief said.
"Eighty percent of our pastas are made in house," he said.
It's a laborious task, but it's well worth it, he added.
Flavor — If you like Italian food, then Al Dente Italiana is the place for you. Classic pasta dishes, such as lasagna or spaghetti and meatballs or sausage are on the menu, as well as favorites such as gnocchi or cheese ravioli.
But if you're looking for something a little different, try the cioppino — traditional fisherman's stew originally seen in San Francisco that includes a tomato saffron infused broth filled with clams, shrimp, calamari, blue crab and mussels served over linguine — it isn't "liquidy" at all, said Knief. "And it's loaded with fresh seafood."
Menu — Best-selling dishes include ravioli fritti, an appetizer of homemade five-cheese ravioli, lightly fried and served with pesto and marinara sauce which goes for $8.95 and a chicken cacciatore dip (coming in October) which may just top that one, Knief said.
"It's really unique. We take the traditional chicken on the bone and we hand pull the meat off, puree the sauce and serve it with fried pasta sheets," he said.
Other favorites include veal or chicken marsala — sautéed breast of chicken or milk fed veal with a hearty sauce of crimini, porcini and portabella mushrooms in a sweet Marsala wine and butter sauce served over cappellini pasta — and frutti di mare — a mix of scallops, mussels, fish of the day, clams and shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce over linguini.
Appetizers, soup and salads, pizza, panini sandwiches are all on the menu for lunch. Soups such as pasta e fagioli and lentil soup are very popular, said Knief.
Lunches start at only $7.99 and the dinner menu items start at $11.99.
Desserts/Drinks — Known for its award-winning homemade gelato, the restaurant's gelato was named best in the region in South Jersey Magazine recently, Knief said.
There are 18 different flavors every day, but the restaurant has featured more than 200 different kinds at one time or another. Staples such as double chocolate and lemon sorbet are always available, but different flavors are also pretty popular.
Chili chocolate, caramel sea salt, snickers and cappuccino are delicious, Knief said.
They also have homemade cannolis, tiramisu, chocolate silk layer cake and lemon cake for dessert.
Al Dente is also excited to be recognized by South Jersey Magazine for having the "Best Cannoli of South Jersey 2013."
And gelato lovers often come in just to order this sweet icy treat, Knief said.
"We get a lot of foot traffic," he said.
You can also buy it by the pint or quart.
The restaurant is BYOB, (Moorestown is still technically a dry town) something that Knief said he's very proud of.
"Even though we're a BYOB restaurant, we offer full and proper wine service. We've trained the staff to offer proper wine service and presentation, almost as if they've purchased the wine right here.
"That, unto itself, is what differentiates us from all the other restaurants in the area," he said.
They also serve Italian sodas with fresh cream, seltzer and syrup, cappuccino, latte and espresso (single or double shot and made to order) and bottled waters (San Pellegrino and Aqua Panna.)
Atmosphere — Al Dente boasts a modern Tuscan style with deep oranges and browns filling the space.
Dark woods and colorful paintings line the walls.
It's elegant, yet comfortable.
There are tables and booths, making it both adult and family friendly.
Half-price appetizers — Since they can't really have a happy hour here, the restaurant is starting an "appy" hour. Half-price appetizers will be featured on the menu soon.
Information — Al Dente Italiana is open Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
To make a reservation, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 856-437-6593. For more information, visit aldenteitaliana.com.

When I was a kid we used to listen to a record album of silly songs.
One song went: "Glory, glory, hallelujah. Teacher hit me with a ruler. She bopped me on the bean with a rotten tangerine…."
I can't remember the rest. But even all these years later, whenever I hear the word "glory" that stupid song pops into my head. (And now it will pop into yours.)

ASU notebook: Sutton undecided on return
Will Sutton to decide after bowl whether to return to ASU; Brandon Magee praised after career night.
Arizona State defensive tackle Will Sutton will likely decide whether to return for his senior season after the
Sun Devils' bowl game, the junior said Friday.
ASU's 41-34 Territorial Cup win over Arizona in Tucson, Sutton celebrated on the field as ASU fans in attendance chanted "One more year." Wrapped up in the wild finish, Sutton was mum on his plans.
"It's crazy -- I don't know yet," Sutton said. "Probably after the bowl game."
Despite battling multiple injuries Friday night, Sutton gave the Wildcats offensive line fits with constant pressure. Sutton finished with five tackles, two for loss. He left the game to get medical attention at least three times for what coach Todd Graham called a foot injury. Graham also said Sutton went for X-rays after the game.
"He's going to be real sore," Graham said. "He's tough. He was playing. That's the way our guys were."
Graham said junior defensive end Junior Onyeali was also playing hurt and that ASU did not practice in full pads all week due to widespread bumps and bruises.
Sutton left the locker room at Arizona Stadium in a walking boot. Depending on what bowl game ASU ends up in, Sutton could have as much as a month to heal. This season, he also missed all but two plays of ASU's game against Oregon on Oct. 18 and the following game against UCLA with a bone bruise on his right knee.
Senior linebacker Brandon Magee registered a career-high 17 tackles in ASU's win Friday night, eclipsing his previous best of 13. He also contributed three tackles for loss.
"I didn't even know how many I got," Magee said after the game. "I was just trying to make plays. I've got fire every game, but tonight (the Territorial Cup) had to go home with us."
With his first 13 tackles Friday, Magee reached 100 on the season, most of any ASU player. Graham said Magee played all of ASU's 96 defensive plays.
"I know Marion (Grice) was the MVP, (but) my MVP was Brandon Magee," Graham said. "The leadership that he showed on the sidelines was phenomenal."
Magee, who missed last year's Territorial Cup with a season-ending Achilles injury suffered in fall camp, said he was proud of how the Sun Devils handled the win, simply shaking hands with their opponent and walking to a corner of the field to celebrate.
"I didn't play last year, and I felt like (UA) disrespected us by coming on our field and stomping on our (logo) like that," Magee said. "That's why when we won, you saw what we did."
The players heard from a few former ASU coaches after their big win Friday. First it was legendary former coach Frank Kush, who was in the visiting locker room with the team.
After taking a victory lap of sorts to let ASU fans touch the Territorial Cup trophy, Graham went to the locker room and was greeted by Kush.
"I got an opportunity to go in and hand the Territorial Cup to Frank Kush," Graham said. "I'm very grateful to him -- I'm proud to lead the program that he built. He was pretty excited. He gave (the trophy) a little kiss."
Graham said he and Kush met multiple times during the week, with Kush emphasizing the importance of the rivalry game each time.
Graham also said former coach Dennis Erickson, whom he replaced last December, texted after the game to congratulate him and the players.
"I want to thank him for leaving this program in such good shape and with such great young people he brought here," Graham said. "I want to thank him for his words, and I told the players that, too."

Purdue University has developed office furnishing standards and polices to promote efficient use of space and operating funds. Click here and scan to Furnishings to read Purdue's furniture guidelines. Consistent application of these standards will:
Our preferred furniture suppliers, (Productive Business Interiors - Steelcase, Commercial Office Environments - Haworth), have been selected based on their commitment to the University's recommended furniture standards. They have agreed to and support the following:
University funds should not be used to purchase furniture from vendors such as Office Depot, Staples, Walmart, etc.. These vendors do not offer commercial grade furniture that meets Purdue standards in regards to fire safety, or daily use ratings for example.
Purchasing furniture is a multi-phased process. It is best to start early! We believe following these steps will help ensure that you are satisfied with the end result.
Be advised: Changes to your current layout may require additional phone and/or data drops at a cost of roughly $310 each. These costs will be charged to your department and impact your available budget.
Now you are ready to get Purchasing involved.
Before furniture arrives, the purchasing agent will discuss with department what they would like done with surplus furniture items. Furniture can be stored in Ginsberg at a cost to department, salvaged, or moved to another department. Purchasing agent will make the determination on surplus items if they are to go into salvage area in warehouse or be disposed and advise the department to complete an ECS and what work orders to enter in schooldude.
When the purchasing agent receives the date furniture is expected to arrive, she will send this information to the department, ITS, Physical Plant and any others involved to give them an idea when installation may occur and make certain appropriate tracks and work orders are in place.
After furniture is delivered from manufacturer, the purchasing agent will work with department and installers to set an installation date. Department needs to verify all tracks or work orders with ITS and Physical Plant have been scheduled to be completed prior to the furniture installation date i.e. data/voice drops, computer equipment removal and re-installation, electrical work, painting, floor cleaning, etc..
Furniture will be installed as illustrated on approved drawings. Installers will not deviate from the drawings. Please do not ask the installers to do additional work during this time without consulting the purchasing agent first. Installation service will include the inspection of the new furnishings, wiping the new furnishings clean of smudges and dirt, as well as removal and proper recycling/disposal of cardboard, trash and other materials.
Installation services do not include the cleaning of existing furnishings and equipment that are being reused unless this service was specifically requested and included in the quote.
After installation, purchasing agent should be notified if you want to make a change. There will be an additional charge for the designer, installers, and any additional product needed.
The furniture installers are expected to carefully look over the furniture and report any problems to the vendor and the purchasing agent. However, we urge you to also carefully look over the furniture. Verify:
Report any such problems to the installer, if available and the purchasing agent. The purchasing agent will work with the designer for resolution and where appropriate, hold payment on items in question.
