Cape San Blas, located at the southernmost tip of Florida's Great Northwest, is home to the #1 beach in the continental United States!
What's so special about Cape San Blas?
No amusement parks or hi-rise condos
No cell phones, pagers, or alarm clocks
Almost no cars......very few people
It's what you don't have (or want) that makes this place special.
Cape San Blas is a get-away...away from the noise...away from the crowds...away from the busy schedules, the telephones, the responsibilities. After a week of enjoying the simplest of pleasures, it's hard to go home.
And it's always nice to come back again.
Families make memories here that will last for lifetimes.
- children get to hold a fiddler crab in their tiny hands
- families share a campfire on the beach - and fall asleep under a blanket of stars
- couples walk...and talk...like they've always meant to do
- teenagers play volleyball on the beach with good friends they just met
- grandparents sit in the porch swing to watch the sunset
- children and grandchildren join them...and listen...and learn to appreciate age
- photographers capture the magic of a morning thunderstorm
- fishermen feel the anticipated tug on a baited line
- surfers ride the foamy crests of warm southern swells
- kayakers glide over miles of white sand below emerald green water
- everyone stops...and listens...and enjoys the experience
- and time stands still

By David Krueger Herald Writer
Basketball isn't the only thing that runs in Cannen Roberson's family.
Along with his father, Gunnar, and uncle, Stanwood assistant coach Harlan, the Roberson's also share unique names. Cannen Roberson isn't sure where his name came from, but he's grown to like his unique moniker.
"I'm not really sure," Cannen Roberson said. "I think they just liked the name."
Roberson, a senior for the Stanwood basketball team, moved with his parents to Stanwood before his sophomore year of high school. The Robersons lived in Spokane, another hoops hotbed, before Gunnar Roberson got a job out west.
Gunnar and Harlan played basketball at Lake Stevens High School. However, Harlan was an assistant coach at Stanwood, so when Gunnar asked him where Cannen should go to school, Harlan said the choice was obvious.
"My brother (Gunnar) called me the summer before Cannen's sophomore year and asked me, 'Where should he go to school? Where should I start looking for a house?'" Harlan Roberson said. "I said, 'Duh! Stanwood's a good place to live.'"
That was all Gunnar needed to hear.
"It was pretty set that I was going to go to Stanwood because my uncle coached here," Cannen Roberson said.
The timing couldn't have been better. Stanwood head coach Zach Ward, who was best friends with Harlan, had graduated eight seniors from his varsity team. With more than half of the team gone, Cannen Roberson, Mason Garcea — another sophomore — and freshman Josh Thayer were all thrown into starting roles for the Spartans.
"It was kind of unique how it all works out," Ward said. "It's kind of cool how it came full circle. … He came in as a sophomore and started. We had eight seniors the year before so we were kind of in a rebuilding mode. He was really young, but you could tell he had the skills."
Roberson quickly made the transition from role player to leading scorer in his junior season, going from 10 points per game to an average of 18. Ward said the Spartans "leaned on him more" as a junior, and began to work a lot more of their offense through Roberson.
The summer before this season, Roberson worked with Harlan and a few other players to elevate his game even more.
"It's a special deal to coach your nephew," Harlan Roberson said. "He's worked so hard in the offseason. I had the privilege of training him and a couple other guys. He probably gained 20 pounds of muscle in the offseason. I pushed him as hard as I possibly could and he just answered the call."
The results have been undisputable.
Roberson, despite drawing constant attention from opposing defenses, is averaging a Wesco 3A North-leading 16.3 points per game, while averaging 6.5 rebounds. The versatile 6-foot-5 guard/forward can post up defenders smaller than him, and shoot from long range — or really anywhere else on the court — while playing against those that have a height advantage.
"He's our glue," Ward said. "He's not a vocal leader but you hear people say he does everything on the court. He's the equivalent of a 5-tool baseball player."
It's not just his scoring that makes Roberson, who used to pitch when he played baseball, so valuable.
"Even nights when he's not shooting well, I know he's going to get seven or eight rebounds, a few assists, a steal and a block," Ward said. "It's really nice to have that."
Roberson had 16 points in Stanwood's regular season-ending win over Shorewood last Friday that capped a six-game winning streak. The game before that, Roberson finished three assists short of a triple-double in the Spartans' 75-37 win over Everett.
"He played 16 minutes (against Everett) and was three assists short of a triple-double," Ward said. "He'd be fantastic on my fantasy basketball team if I could get him. If only he was eligible to be drafted."
Roberson, along with the rest of the Stanwood team, appears to be peaking at just the right time. Roberson said the team is really tightly knit this year, and that's translated into a successful — and fun — season.
"We're doing really well and enjoy playing with each other and have great chemistry," Cannen Roberson said. "It's been a lot of fun. This year's probably the best one that we've had. We've got a lot of guys that know their roles and utilize those roles.
"Our goals at the beginning were win the league. Then going into the postseason district championship and then obviously getting to state."
Along with Roberson, Stanwood has many pieces in place to have a good postseason run, Harlan Roberson said. Drew Sears (6-feet-10) and Drew Stang (6-8) provide height, Thayer and Garcea, two more three-year starters, take care of the guard position and there's depth coming off the Stanwood bench to go along with the league's leading scorer.
"We feel great. We went 12-1 in the regular season in our league," Harlan Roberson said. "(Mountlake) Terrace was our only loss and we were up (by 11 points) at half and for some reason the ball wouldn't go in the basket in the third quarter. We feel like we're in a really good spot. We feel like we have the pieces at every position to make a good run. It's as complete a team as Zach and I have had when we have been here."
A 15-5 regular season record has the Spartans dreaming big. Cannen Roberson said Stanwood has its goals figure out.
"Getting to the state tournament would be nice but also bringing home some hardware would be perfect," Cannen Roberson said. "We're pretty confident about it. We realize that we have a good team and when we're on, we're pretty good."
In order to do that, Stanwood is going to have to navigate a loaded 3A District tournament that features two teams in the latest Associated Press Top 10. Mountlake Terrace (No. 8) and Glacier Peak (No. 10) enter the tournament, along with the Spartans and Shorewood — both of which also received votes in the poll.
"We realize that there's some really, really good teams in the league. But I think we're good as well," Roberson said. "We're not afraid of them or anything, but we respect them. We played with them in the regular season and I think we can do some damage."
Stanwood is playing in the 3A tournament this season after being a 4A team the past several years. During its last two 4A district tournaments, the Spartans have had some early exits and heartbreaking losses.
Harlan Roberson thinks that Stanwood has learned from those games, and is ready to make sure history doesn't repeat itself.
"I think they feel like it's their time this year," Roberson said. "They're definitely aware of the past, but there focused on only one thing. And that's Wednesday night and that game against Shorecrest."
While it's Cannen's final season for the Spartans, he won't be the final Roberson at Stanwood. Two more uniquely-named Spartans will continue the trend of Robersons. Cannen's brother Skout is a sophomore, and is "probably going to be bigger than Cannen," according to Harlan.
Then there's Harlan's son, Cannen's cousin, who is also aptly named for basketball: Cort.
Said Harlan: "When you grow up in a family with pretty unique names you pass it on."

Template:U Oneiric/Internet
Current revision as of 15:36, 7 January 2013
Internet Applications
Internet applications enable you to make full use of your Internet connection. Web browsers, Email clients, Instant Messengers, and more are included in this category.
Web Browsers
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox is the ubiquitous web browser. Based on open source components, it is trademarked and cannot be altered or re-distributed with any change that involves the name or trademarks. Install the current version:
sudo apt-get install firefox
Firefox Plug-ins
Adblock Plus plug-in (block ads in a web page)
Adblock Plus blocks ads that appear in web pages. It is an important tool to limit tracking and undesirable website elements, as well. You can subscribe to a free filter service, and can add to the block list individual ads and website elements with a single click.
sudo apt-get install xul-ext-adblock-plus
- You can also add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> AdBlock Plus. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
- Recent versions of Adblock Plus allow the display of a large number of "partner" ads unless you disable this undesirable behavior:
- Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Adblock Plus -> Preferences -> Filter preferences... -> Allow some non-intrusive advertising (unticked)
Because Adblock Plus appears to now be creating holes in its own blocking service, it is probably worthwhile to stop automatic updates and only update Adblock Plus selectively (in case the developers in the future decide to create even more holes in the plug-in's blocking capability without the corresponding option to disable the behavior).
NoScript plug-in (controls scripts)
The NoScript plugin is considered one of the most important security measures for browsing the Internet. Most viruses and trojans gain access to computers from the Internet through scripts. This plugin allows you to choose which scripts to allow and blocks the rest.
- Add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> NoScript. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
- NoScript has a long of websites on its "whitelist." It is important to review this list and remove the websites for which you don't wish to automatically allow scripts (I remove them all).
- Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> NoScript -> Preferences -> Whitelist
- A large number of websites use multiple locations/URLs to assemble their webpage content, a process which is blocked by NoScript's ABE (Application Boundaries Enforcer) function. I have found it necessary to disable ABE in order for most of my websites to function correctly.
- Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> NoScript -> Preferences -> Advanced -> ABE -> Enable ABE (unticked)
- Many websites now use aggressive pop-ups to place advertising in front of the actrual content. While NoScript can block these ads, there will be a "placeholder" still blocking the content unless you turn off the placeholders:
- Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> NoScript -> Preferences -> Embeddings -> Show placeholder icon (unticked)
- Most websites use scripting extensively these days, so that you may need to "Allow" a website in NoScript. To block the individual undesirable elements of the website, use AdBlock Plus.
Bookmark Favicon Changer plug-in
In the newest versions of Firefox, there are some bugs regarding the Favicons (the small icons that appear in the address bar) and the Bookmark icons. This plug-in will restore the icons that get erased (leaving a blank dotted box) or allow you to choose your own Favicons / Bookmark icons.
- Add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> Bookmark Favicon. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
RefreshBlocker plug-in (prevents redirects)
RefreshBlocker allows the user to decide which websites (and pages) will be allowed to redirect (based on META tags within the webpage). Although Firefox (as of version 3.5) blocks all directs by default, the behavior is not customizable; it is therefore preferable to turn off the Firefox redirect control and use RefreshBlocker instead.
- Add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> RefreshBlocker. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
- Turn off the Firefox automatic redirect blocker:
- Firefox -> Enter about:config in the browser location bar -> right-click on "accessibility:blockautorefresh" -> Toggle to change the value from true to false
Video DownloadHelper plug-in for Firefox
The Video DownloadHelper plugin allows the download of videos (including Flash videos) from sites like YouTube.
- You can add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> Video DownloadHelper. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
User Agent Switcher plug-in for Firefox
Now that Firefox is the world's leading web browser, this plug-in should no longer be necessary. Still, there still exist a few old web apps that will only run on IE (and for them this plug-in may be useful). The User Agent Switcher plugin allows a browser to masquerade as another browser, allowing (most of the time) browser-specific content to be displayed.
- You can add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> User Agent Switcher. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
Unplug Download Management
The UnPlug add-on lets you save video and audio which is embedded on a webpage.
- You can add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Browse All Add-ons. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
Lucifox (eBook reader extension)
Lucifox (Lucidor for Firefox) enables e-books to be read and e-book catalogs to be browsed in a Firefox window.
- To install, go to the website and click "Download Now."
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Firefox plug-in
This package also installs the Java Runtime Environment. (JRE is also installed when OpenOffice or ubuntu-restricted-extras is installed.)
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
Note: You must accept the license to use this product.
Adobe Acrobat Reader for Firefox Plug-in
This plugin is allows you to view Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files within the Firefox browser.
- Read Add Extra Repositories and enable the Oneiric partner repository:
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu Oneiric partner
- then install Adobe Reader:
sudo apt-get install acroread
- Alternatively, this plugin is also available from the Medibuntu repository. Add the Medibuntu repository to your repository list:
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ Oneiric free non-free
- then install:
sudo apt-get install acroread mozilla-acroread acroread-plugins acroread-fonts
Adobe Flash Player for Firefox Plug-in
To install the official Adobe Flash plugin (Flash 10) for Firefox:
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
Gnash Plug-in (Open source Flash Player replacement)
Gnash is available in a 64-bit version as well as a 32-bit version. It is the open source replacement for Adobe Flashplayer.
sudo apt-get install gnash
After installing, change your web browser's Preferences -> Applications so that SWF and SPL files use Gnash.
VLC plug-in for Firefox
This package allows the popular VLC player to play media within the Firefox browser.
sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc
Gecko MediaPlayer Plug-in for Firefox
Gecko MediaPlayer is a browser plugin for all Gecko-based browsers (Firefox, SeaMonkey, IceApe, Opera) that allows Mplayer to play multimedia within the browser. Install:
sudo apt-get install gecko-mediaplayer
An alternative is to use the mplayer plugin for Firefox. Install:
sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
Kaffeine Plug-in for Firefox
This package allows the Kaffeine media player (often used in KDE-based desktops) to play multimedia within the Firefox browser.
sudo apt-get install kaffeine-mozilla
Helix player plug-in for Firefox
This package installs the Helix player (the open source player that plays Real Player content in Linux) as well as the plugin that plays RealMedia within the Firefox browser.
sudo apt-get install mozilla-helix-player
Moonlight plugin for Firefox
Moonlight is part of the Novell Mono project that is an open source implementation of Silverlight (the Microsoft multimedia presentation platform). It is based on FFMpeg. It is made to work best with the Firefox 3 web browser, as a plugin (but also works with other mozilla browsers). Version 2.3 is available as a plugin for mozilla-based browsers:
sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla
- The stable version 2.4 is available here. The Moonlight 3.99 plugin (compatible with most Silverlight 3/4 content) is here.
- Netflix under Moonlight
- Netflix streaming requires both the capabilities of Silverlight 2.0 and Digital Rights Management modules. Although the current version of Moonlight 2.0 will run most Silverlight content (including Netflix content), Netflix has not yet released Digital Rights Management modules for Linux. Please contact Netflix directly for further information or sign a petition.
- An HTML5 Netflix plugin (currently being developed by Google for the Chrome browser) may soon be available. Another alternative is the Netflix Android app which can be used in a virtual Android environment.
FireFTP for Firefox
FireFTP is a Firefox extension for FTP transfers.
Firefox Widgets
Turn off browser bar drop-down list in Firefox
This is the most frequently asked problem regarding Firefox. To turn off the location browser bar drop-down list (and therefore not show your browsing history):
- Firefox -> about:config (in the location browser bar) -> browser.urlbar.maxRichResults -> right-click -> Modify -> set value to 0
Turn off SSL certificate name in address bar
In newer versions of firefox, the validity of the SSL certificate associated with a website is displayed as a color-coded background to the Favicon (the small icon displayed in the address bar). However, Firefox currently also displays the name of the site issuing the SSL certificate, which can be annoying, since for most sites this is a duplicate of the domain name (which then gets displayed twice in the address bar). To turn off this behavior:
- Firefox -> about:config (in the location browser bar) -> browser.identity.ssl_domain_display -> right-click -> Modify -> set value to 0
View Firefox cache
In a new window/tab, enter about:cache in the Firefox address bar. You can view and save individual elements (from all open windows/tabs) in the cache from there.

Install the current version:
sudo apt-get install iceape
Opera is a proprietary browser and internet suite (currently free on PCs) also used in some mobile devices and gaming consoles. It includes email, an address book, IRC chat, integrated BitTorrent, and webfeeds. A limited number of plugins are also available. Download from the website and follow the instructions or install from the Opera repository:
echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get install opera

Who are the best and worst celebrity neighbors?
"There goes the neighborhood." That seems to be the would-be consensus if Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were to move in to any particular community.
Real Estate website Zillow has named the newly-engaged couple the least desirable celebrity neighbors of 2013. Zillow cites the couple's reputation for "living an over-the-top lifestyle, with drama and the paparazzi never too far behind." It says "No one wants to live next door to a family who has cameras following them everywhere and seems to seek out as much attention as possible."
The cast of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" also made the undesirable neighbor list, ranking second ahead of Justin Bieber and Mile Cyrus who tied for third.
On the flip side, late night funnyman Jimmy Fallon was named the most desirable next-door celeb on Zillow's seventh annual Celebrity Neighbor Survey. Fallon was cited for his "positive, funny and relatable vibe."
Country couple Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton tied with Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence for second place on the most desirable celebrity neighbor list. Interestingly enough, Kim and Kanye also showed up on the desirable list, although at the very bottom with just two percent of votes.

In the Dark Streets Shineth: A 1941 Christmas Eve Story
by David McCullough
Product Description
Christmas Eve, 1941. Mere days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt met at the White House. As war raged throughout the world, the two leaders delivered a powerful message of hope that still resonates today.
Bestselling author and renowned historian David McCullough relates a compelling story about the spirit of Christmas and the power of light to shine in difficult, dangerous times. Also sharing the stories behind the songs "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas," this beautifully designed book is filled with historic photographs and uplifting messages that will bring the Christmas spirit home to your family.
In the Dark Streets Shineth also includes a DVD of David McCullough's presentation of this story at the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's 2009 Christmas concert.

This is a sweet book. I was not around in 1941 but because of my parents I heard many stories from this era. It was very interesting to read the speeches given by the President and Winston Churchill during a very uncertain time. The pictures were a nice touch too. I read the book before putting on the DVD -- and I have to say that after watching the DVD I wanted to go back and look at the pictures again in the book. The DVD is a fun addition.

I absolutely loved this book. Fantastic combination with the DVD and book. It got me in the spirit of Christmas so quickly. I think it makes a great Christmas gift for others, but also is a must-have for your Christmas book collection.

The book by itself is great, but add the DVD and you have an amazing experience.

I was expecting more of an actual story, and was a bit disappointed to hear that it only takes about 15 mins. to read. But this is an amazing book. Such a powerful message and story. I was near tears when I learned the story behind the song "I'll Be Home For Christmas". It's a great book to share with friends and family.
By John, Submitted on 2015-02-25
This book is a compelling, quick read with an inspiring message of hope that would make a wonderful gift for anyone this holiday season! Reading the Christmas messages of two very prominent men from history during rough times not only in the U.S, but around the world was really quite interesting! David McCullough did a great job as he usually does!

I love the design of this book! It is beautiful, simply beautiful. This book has got to be one of the best books to give to family and friends, bar-none.

|Summary: Postfix plugin to support PostgreSQL maps
Postfix plugin to support PostgreSQL maps. This library will be loaded by starting postfix if you'll access a postmap which is stored in PostgreSQL. Authors: -------- Wietse Venema <firstname.lastname@example.com>
IBM Public License ..
* Thu Feb 10 2011 email@example.com - bnc#667299 - Postfix LICENSE not marked as documentation * Mon Jan 17 2011 email@example.com - add some min LDAP support for virtual LDAP-users o sysconfig "WITH_LDAP" o add ldap_aliases.cf o SuSEconfig.postfix virtual_alias_maps = ... ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap_aliases.cf * Tue Jan 04 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - update to 2.7.2 * Bugfix (introduced Postfix 2.2): Postfix no longer appends the system default CA certificates to the lists specified with *_tls_CAfile or with *_tls_CApath. This prevents third-party certificates from getting mail relay permission with the permit_tls_all_clientcerts feature. Unfortunately this may cause compatibility problems with configurations that rely on certificate verification for other purposes. To get the old behavior, specify "tls_append_default_CA = yes". Files: tls/tls_certkey.c, tls/tls_misc.c, global/mail_params.h. proto/postconf.proto, mantools/postlink. * Compatibility with Postfix < 2.3: fix 20061207 was incomplete (undoing the change to bounce instead of defer after pipe-to-command delivery fails with a signal). Fix by Thomas Arnett. File: global/pipe_command.c. * Bugfix: the milter_header_checks parser provided only the actions that change the message flow (reject, filter, discard, redirect) but disabled the non-flow actions (warn, replace, prepend, ignore, dunno, ok). File: cleanup/cleanup_milter.c. * Performance: fix for poor smtpd_proxy_filter TCP performance over loopback (127.0.0.1) connections. Problem reported by Mark Martinec. Files: smtpd/smtpd_proxy.c. * Cleanup: don't apply reject_rhsbl_helo to non-domain forms such as network addresses. This would cause false positives with dbl.spamhaus.org. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c. * Bugfix: the "421" reply after Milter error was overruled by Postfix 1.1 code that replied with "503" for RFC 2821 compliance. We now make an exception for "final" replies, as permitted by RFC. Solution by Victor Duchovni. File: smtpd/smtpd.c. * Sat Dec 11 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - update vda patch o remove 2.6.1-vda-ng.patch o remove 2.6.1-vda-ng-64bit.patch o add vda-2.7.1.patch - rework main.cf.patch o remove 2.2.9-main.cf.patch o add 2.7.1-main.cf.patch * Tue Dec 07 2010 email@example.com - prereq init scripts network and syslog * Thu Aug 12 2010 email@example.com - Remove obsolate postscripts - bnc#625657 - SuSEconfig.postfix and smtp_use_tls - bnc#622873 - postfix doesn't start if ipv6 is disabled * Tue Jul 06 2010 email@example.com - reworked bnc#606251 stuff (not checked in to Factory) o used my_print_defaults command for parsing of /etc/my.cnf o using quotation marks: "$PF_CHROOT" o added sysconfig option POSTFIX_MYSQL_CONN=(socket,tcp) * Wed Jun 16 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - bnc#606251 - postfix chrooted mysql.sock lost on mysql restart o Now MYSQL_SOCK_DIR is mounted with '-o bind' to postfix CHROOT * Thu Jun 10 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - update to 2.7.1 * Bugfix (introduced Postfix 2.6) in the XFORWARD implementation, which sends remote SMTP client attributes through SMTP-based content filters. The Postfix SMTP client did not skip "unknown" SMTP client attributes, causing a syntax error when sending an "unknown" client PORT attribute. * Robustness: skip LDAP queries with non-ASCII search strings, instead of failing with a database lookup error. * Safety: Postfix processes now log a warning when a matchlist has a #comment at the end of a line (for example mynetworks or relay_domains). * Portability: OpenSSL 1.0.0 changes the priority of anonymous cyphers. * Portability: Berkeley DB 5.x is now supported. * Thu May 20 2010 email@example.com - fix obviously lost POSTFIX_MYHOSTNAME in SuSEconfig.postfix * Wed Apr 07 2010 email@example.com - New file check_mail_queue.

A good day to everyone on the BT forums.
I signed up specifically to ask this question. I am looking for a good wireless card that supports all the great features BT has. The chip I'm looking for must be available in a PCI-E format and I would like it to be compatible with A/B/G/N. I have been looking around a bit and found the AR5008E-3NX that will fit into my laptop and supports packet injection but this chip seems to be rather old and slow and I was hoping that some of you could give me advice on maybe buying a more recent chip. If this card is the best I can get please let me know as well.
Thanks very much,

Greeneville, Tenn. – The Brevard College softball team was swept by the Tusculum Pioneers on Tuesday afternoon in a twinbill hosted by Tusculum. The Tornados fell 5-0 in the opener, and Tusculum came back from a 3-0 deficit to defeat Brevard 4-3 in the second game of the doubleheader.
Brevard fell to 23-10 on the season, and 3-3 in South Atlantic Conference play. Tusculum improved their conference record to 5-1 and are now 24-9 on the season.
Game One: Tusculum 5, Brevard 0
Box Score
The Pioneers struck first in the opener when Ashley Burke singled home Taylor MacDonald in the bottom of the first inning, giving Tusculum a 1-0 lead. MacDonald reached on a single, and was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. She got to third by way of a wild pitch before being brought home on the Burke single.
Tusculum added on to their 1-0 lead in the second inning when with the bases loaded, starting pitcher, Martika Elmore (Fayetteville, N.C.) walked in a run, putting the Pioneers up 2-0. Lindsey Umberger hit a bases loaded, two-out, base clearing double to put Tusculum on-top 5-0, which is were the score remained for the rest of the game.
Elmore was charged with the loss, falling to 12-6 on the season. Elmore went all six innings for Brevard as she was touched for five runs on seven hits. Erin Searcy picked up the win for Tusculum. She moved to 11-7 on the season.
At the plate, Brevard had just three hits. Chelsi Mallory (Mechanicsville, Va.), Kayla Clemens (Sebring, Fla.) and Sarah Carlos (Eagle River, Alaska) each delivered a hit for the Tornados. Carlos' was a double.
Game Two: Tusculum 4, Brevard 3
Box Score
In the night cap, Brevard jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Kayla Dorsey (West Palm Beach, Fla.) hit a one-out double to left field. Mallory was next to the plate and singled through the left side, advancing Dorsey to third. Clemens brought Dorsey in with a single of her own.
The Tornados increased their lead by a run in the second. Carlos led off the inning with a walk and was advanced by a sacrifice bunt laid down by Brittany Jones (Fort Mill, S.C.). Emily Boykin (Chapel Hill, N.C.) followed Jones by smoking a double to right centerfield, scoring Carlos from second to make it 2-0.
There wasn't any scoring following the second, until Brevard was able to make it 3-0 in the sixth. Mallory hit a one-out single and was able to score when Becca Curlee ripped a two-out double, putting BC up by three.
Things looked good for the Tornados, but the Pioneers' bats awoke in the bottom of the sixth. Tusculum struck for four runs putting them on top 4-3 heading into the seventh inning. Brevard was unable to respond in the seventh as they fell 4-3.
Alyssa Miller (Davie, Fla.) was tagged for the loss as she fell to 11-4 on the season. Miller went all six innings for Brevard and was touched for four runs on eight hits in the loss.
The Tornados are back at home on Saturday, April 1st, when they play host to South Atlantic Conference rival Mars Hill College. Brevard is set to square off with the Lions at 1 p.m. at the Brevard College Softball Field.

Good stuff Antony, lmao.
I get if you don't have an iPhone and you just play along mindlessly, but seriously that guy at the end has a 4S too lol. I guess in his head, since the 4 and 4S look the same, he figures the 5 looks the same too.
But the whole it's lighter and thinner thing...I dunno haha. That's a funny vid, I love Jimmy.
The variable that made them think it was better was that they just mindlessly buy whatever comes out. If Apple made it, it must be better somehow. :/
only 5K views, but over 12K likes and 2K comments?? WTF??
Dude at 0:57 = thinner Hulk Hogan lololol
Wow, Apple users are not really bright. It does look the same though its just taller. Smh.
This all seems so juvenile to me. This whole "it's super cool, it's the best, it's mine, I love it!! Oh wait, now everyone likes it....It sucks now! It's not the same as before, I'm to cool for it now that so many people love it too!".
It's the same mentality CHILDREN have with their favorite music. They feel like they are better then all these NEW fans. They feel like they don't stand out anymore, they dont feel special anymore now that EVERYONE has a iPhone. It's pathetic really...
If you rely on your PHONE to stand out in public or in your circle of friends...You should be learning how to become a more interesting, intelligent person...not coming to Apple forums to try and fill your thirst to stand out and be "different". Guitar maybe?
Even with the iPhone 5, Apple has hit a design plateau. They've hit it with the MacBooks, iMacs, Mac Pro too. None have changed significantly in the last few years or more.
And you know what? That's perfectly fine with me. I care more about what's on the inside of the device. A 3+ year old design is still looking very very nice.
film 100 people telling them this is the new iPhone.
only show the 10 idiots that believed you.

The Eriseci alphabet was invented by Brandon Klug for a book he is hoping to write. Eriseci is used to write Erisa, the language spoken by the Ali'uni, a race of angels who inhabit the Earth in secrecy. The script is meant to look like the steeples and bell towers of the cathedrals where the Ali'uni are said to come to Earth from their realm.

It's finally here Isles fans, The Islanders will take the ice for the first time in over 5 months and start the 2009-2010 season. we've been waiting for this since the dismal 08-09 season ended on Easter day with an embarrassingloss to the Bruins. This year starts with the same expectations as last year, finishing in the basement for another season. Fans and pundents are already salavating over the thought of picking Taylor Hall in the 2010 draft. I would hope the season doesn't come down to that AGAIN!
But there is one optomist on the team, Richard Park. Park spoke to Islanders Point Blank's Chris Botta and told Botta and the rest of Islanders Country "I'll give you this: when April comes around, I expect us to be in position to compete in the playoffs." Park, who is a well respected vet has an extremely optimistic outlook for this season and should be taken very seriously. Its nice to see someone not counting the isles out before they even hit the ice.
What else.........oh ya everyone at training camp is impressed by John Tavares's hand shake. The young star has made a splash at training camp and has been taken under the wing of of Veteran and captain candidate Doug Weight. Reports from Katie Strang, the only New York reporter covering the Islanders and video from the Islanders website provide footage of Weight showing Tavares the ropes and giving him tips throughout camp.
Although Johnny boy is not gunna be playing, along with several other big name players, but hey it's Islanders hockey and right now i couldnt have asked for a better birthday present than the return of Islanders hockey. So break out the Jerseys and get ready for a late night cause it's almost hockey time.no comments
So Dany Heatley finally got his wish on Saturday, September 12th. Heatley and a 5th round pick head to San Jose while Milan Michalek, Jonathan Cheechoo and a 2nd round pick are moving to Ottawa.
But after all the speculation and rumors and demands, I look at this trade and my first thoughts are: "So what?"
This is a trade that will help Ottawa, yes; they got rid of the unhappy Heatley, and receive a 2nd round pick to nab a young prospect. But Cheechoo has not been too great an offensive force since winning the Rocket Richard trophy in 2006, and Michalek doesn't combine with Cheechoo greatly enough to equal a tandem sizeable to fill the gap left by Heatley. It was obvious that there were little options out there for Ottawa to get full return for what they'd lose in Heatley, and while they receive a decent duo in return, it's likely not enough to change this team for the better and get them back in the playoffs.
And look at San Jose, they lose Cheechoo and Michalek, and just a few weeks ago also traded away Christian Ehrhoff and Brad Lukowich to Vancouver. Yes they get Heatley, but they're remodeling this team a little late.
Don't get me wrong, the combo of Heatley getting passes from Joe Thornton is a scary though. Thornton is a great set up man and now has an excellent finisher in Heatley. And yes, Heatley has had a successful playoff run with the Senators when they went to the Finals in 2007. But one man's experience and goal scoring ability isn't going to be enough to turn an entire team's postseason failure around just like that. While I wouldn't be surprised if the "professional" prognosticators start picking the Sharks to represent the Western Conference in this year's Stanley Cup Finals, I personally do not see it happening.
Ottawa has gotten rid of an unhappy Heatley, which will help locker room morale, but what they received in return was not enough to fill his void, they're not any closer to the playoffs without him then they were with him. And San Jose gives up two players for one, granted a very good one, but depth has taken a small blow. San Jose is marginally improved at best, and for a team that hasn't gotten past the second round of the playoffs since the lookout, they needed more than just a marginal improvement to be considered a true threat.
The Heatley trade demand, nixed Edmonton trade, and now the San Jose deal have dominated the offseason trade news while a Phil Kessel trade has been under the radar. But in the end, a rumored deal to send Kessel to Toronto may end up making a bigger impact on those teams than the Heatley trade will on the Sharks and Sens, despite making much more noise since June.no comments
If you were hoping to see John Tavares in an Islanders Jersey Mondaynight in Terrace, BC Monday he wont playing. According to Newsday and Islanders Point Blank the number one draft pick wont be playing in Monday nights game and the team never intendedfor him to play in the first place. Definitely a disappointment for all the fans in Terrace and the fans who will be tuning in on NHL Network, CBC, and MSG Plus.
The Kraft Hockeyville Game will Air on timed Delay Monday on MSG Plus at 10:30 for all the fans on the Island who dont get NHL network, who will also be airing the game live.
Speaking of the Kraft Hockeyville Game, for any fans looking for all around coverage of this exciting event check out Greatest Hockey Legends.com for coverage all weekend on the event. Along with the great coverage the site features great articles about past and present stars and stories from around the NHL and this weekend they have some great stuff on our beloved New York Islanders.

That's right in less than 5 days we will finally get to see John Tavares skate for the first in full Islanders attirein a real game situation. The superstar hopeful will most likely take the ice Monday night in terrace, British Columbia along with the rest of the Islander squad marking the end of a long off season that started way back in April and seemed to last an eternity after the Islanders drafted John Tavares. Last week players started coming back to the island and skating at Ice Works in preparation for the start of training camp and most, presumable all are extremely excited to be back to work and for the start of this season. This team of young guns full of potential are all aiming high, especially recently signed rookie Matt Martin who had a break out season with the Sarnia Sting of the OHL last season. Martin told both beat writer Katie Strang and NYI Point Blank's Chris Botta that hes is aiming to play in the NHL this season for the Islanders. Martin told Katie Strang "I want to aim as high as I can. The team is rebuilding, so if you are really impressive in camp, anything can happen. I don't want to be unrealistic and say I think I should be a full-time NHL'er, but I think if I have a really good camp I could get some games up there and show them what I can do." If Martin shows he has what it takes I have no doubt the Islanders wouldn't hesitate to call him up.
On the Tavares side of things, John arrived on the Island last Saturday to much less publicized event and starting to learn his way around Long Island only getting stopped once to take pictures. "It'll be nice to just be myself, learn my way around the team, and just focus on hockey" Tavares told Newsday beat writer Katie Strang. Tavares will no doubt enjoy being in the shadows alittle bit here on the Islanders and be able to fully focus on hockey with out all the media pressure like he faced back in Canada.
The start of this season has been anticipated by every Islander fan world wide since drafting John Tavares, the biggest name to wear an isles uniform in a very long time. This young team has allot of potential and has shown in the past that they can stay competitive. This season will most likely not be a playoff run and once again end at regular seasons end but will most likely not be a last place finish this year. So fans start breaking out those jerseys and GET READY FOR SOME HOCKEY CAUSE ITS A COMIN!no comments
September 10th the Phoenix Coyotes summer bidding war will finally come to an end when the sales auction takes place and the team is given to its new owner.
Can we just give a team to Balsillie already? The NHL obviously is against him owning a team, and that's why the Penguins are still in Pittsburgh and the Predators are still in Nashville. But what's the problem, can't we just get this over with?
Phoenix has accomplished next to nothing since moving to the desert, and they aren't likely to break out with a deep playoff run any time soon. The Coyotes were 28th in attendance last year, and even if the team winds up staying in Glendale, does anyone really think their attendance will get better after this wild summer?
Five of the six Canadian based franchises finished in the top eight in attendance last year, so it's quite obvious that Canadians love their hockey and would be willing to support another team. Granted, you can point to the Phoenix franchise itself, which once resided in Winnepeg before moving south, out of Canada, as a failed Canadian market. But Hamilton fans likely would show up in great numbers, supporting and keeping a team in their city.
I think it is quite plainly conflict of interest for a league to own one of its own operating teams. Granted, Gary Bettman wouldn't become GM of the team and make roster decisions, but it hardly seems fair, or logical, for a league to own its own club.
To the credit of the NHL, they have said they'd only own it a year while searching for a capable owner who would keep the team in Phoenix. However, Balsillie and his legal group are trying to claim that the NHL will look for new owners that may relocate the team to a city the NHL is more interested in, perhaps Kansas City or Las Vegas; non-Canadian markets.
With the start of the preseason only a few weeks away, and the regular season less than a month away, it seems unlikely that the Coyotes would start the season in any city outside of Glendale. Balsillie did say he wouldn't object to moving the franchise in the middle of the season, however, that's absurd, and something more likely to be seen in a AAA league.
The few diehard fans that are in Phoenix should be allowed to have one last full season to enjoy, but the logical move is then for the team to be moved to a better market, like Hamilton. More fans, more tickets sold, more revenues, you get the picture. I get that coming out of the lockout the league said they were dedicated to their 30 markets, and that five years later a team relocates, but common sense has to come in to play at some point.
Let Balsillie have the team, let them move. I know there's going to be a fight between the league and the Toronto Maple Leafs if Balsillie is allowed to move the team to Hamilton, but that's another road to cross when the time comes.
Let the Coyotes play in Phoenix this year, then in the 2010 offseason, relocate them to Hamilton. Divisonal solution? Keep Hamilton in the West, but take them out of the Pacific and put them in the Northwest, so they're with the other three Canadian teams. Then move the Avalanche from the Northwest to the Pacific, and there you go.

Islander fans finaly got news today that gives them hope that owner Charles Wang's Oct. 3 deadline could be met with a decision on the Lighthouse Project. The Town announced a date of September 22, which is coincedentaly the same date as the Isles exhibition game in Kansas city (an event Charles Wang is planning to attend). Interesting to see where he will be that day and as always everyone needs to show up to support this crucial project that will effect the fate of not only the Islanders but Long Island as a whole.
In other news the Isles pre-season opener will be televised live on MSG Plus against the Canucks. This game will mark the first time John Tavares suits up in full Islanders gear in a game against another team. This makes this pre-season game an extreamly interesting one to tune into. Deffenetly the best Birthday present i could ask for, the return of hockey.no comments

I've had a letter from Sky saying ESPN is shutting down 31/7
Anyone heard anymore about this, or more importanmtly what happens to the UK's UFC coverage?
I've had a letter from Sky saying ESPN is shutting down 31/7
Anyone heard anymore about this, or more importanmtly what happens to the UK's UFC coverage?
BT according to multiple sources (tomato, brown, etc). Don't know if it means BT Vision will be suddenly popular or what?
MMA Officials London, Essex and East Anglia representative
Enter the most sensational announcement in the history of television...
If it goes to BT I will be quite shocked, thats an awful move in my mind for the UFC, unless you can access their programming at that point via Sky boxes, I'd imagine it will lose them more viewers than gain, at least ESPN could be seen by everyone with Sky, I looked at BT awhile ago, the packages are quite poor, there was no HD channels etc, it was a backward step in my mind so stayed with Sky / Dreambox combo and then jibbed Sky off until I got 6 months free everything.
At least Virgin and Sky share channels, I am not sure if BT share with anyone? I dont see how BT would be a step up for the UFC from ESPN at all, even with them buying the football rights etc - Setanta did that and look where they ended up in the UK, bust and dead as it didnt bring in the revenue they expected, surely the same will happen to BT, people wont fuck Sky off for a BT box when Sky still has more channels, more footy and generally a bigger better overall package to offer.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
BT will offer a separate subscription to their channel for sky customers. You will contact BT directly to receive it.
unclear as of yet what will happen with Virgin but many expect it to be available like ESPN is now.
"We will offer BT Sport on Virgin Media if it makes commercial sense to do so.
It's unlikely that BT will sell the channel directly to customers as this is not the way Virgin Media operates."
from BT make of it what you will......
If they can pull off a partnership with a channel that is willing to work to increase the viewing stats and increase the fan base that can only be a good thing. Anyone got any idea on what the subscription fee will compare?
I also noticed an option on my Sky Account to stay with my ESPN contract right until the close or give notice to cancel early.
We just stream it from the computer to the TV.

This new degree program completes USI's offerings in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) areas, providing alignment with the needs of the workforce and preparing students for post-baccalaureate studies. (read more)
Learning Science by Doing Science
The Geosciences curriculum provides an overall understanding of our physical environment. It demonstrates the spatial and temporal vastness of the universe and the diversity of life through time, thereby offering a unique perspective on humankind's place in nature.
By emphasizing environmental applications of geology, the geology program for the major is designed to prepare students for the job market of the 21st century, regardless of cyclical employment patterns in the minerals industries. Nevertheless, the core geology program retains the traditional sequence of geology courses. Training in geology is supported by a broad base in mathematics, computer science, and allied sciences including chemistry and physics.
As the most fundamental of all the sciences, Physics governs all aspects of your everyday existence. The breath of air you just took, the car you drive, the cell phone you carry and the sounds you enjoy on your iPod—all are explained by principles of physics. The breadth of natural phenomena explained by physics makes it a very attractive topic of study for anyone with just a little curiosity.
The Physics program offers a spectrum of courses to satisfy any level of curiosity in our discipline. We offer astronomy and conceptual physics courses for those hoping to satisfy science requirements in the core curriculum. We offer introductory courses intended to prepare pre-professional and engineering majors for further study in their respective fields. For those with a higher level of interest in physics, we offer majors in Biophysics and Physics Teaching, as well as minors in Physics and Biophysics.
Students in the physics program enjoy small classes with a great deal of personal attention from quality instructors. Our excellent instruction extends outside the classroom as well, with hands-on projects, including research opportunities for all students in our program. Students graduating with degrees in physics are prepared for graduates studies in physics, medical school, engineering, and other post baccalaureate programs—or they qualify for opportunities to work in exciting research and development fields.

By Rikki King Herald Writer
MARYSVILLE — A Marysville police officer is challenging his firing after he left his handgun and his children unattended in the family van, leading to his 3-year-old son shooting and killing his 7-year-old daughter.
The Marysville Police Officers Association has filed a grievance on behalf of Derek Carlile. An arbitration hearing is set for October, City Administrator Gloria Hirashima said Monday. The dispute process is guided by the labor contract.
"The arbitrator makes a ruling and we will abide by that ruling," she said.
On March 10, 2012, Carlile, his wife and their four children were heading to a wedding in Bothell from their home on Camano Island. They stopped at a Stanwood antiques shop, and the parents got out of the car.
Moments later, they heard a thud. Their daughter Jenna had been shot by her younger brother. The gun had been in the van's cupholder, underneath some mail. Carlile typically kept the gun in his ankle holster. He told investigators he did not secure the weapon during the family's rush that morning.
Snohomish County prosecutors charged the officer with manslaughter. A jury in November was unable to reach a verdict. Prosecutors declined to retry the case after the mistrial.
The Marysville Police Department also conducted an internal investigation. On May 6, the city announced that Carlile had been fired. No other information was given.
The Herald obtained the internal investigation under state public records laws. It was conducted by an outside party, a retired police leader from another county.
Carlile was fired for committing a negligent act, endangering himself or others, not promoting a positive image as a police officer and of conduct unbecoming a police officer, the records show.
The city also cited the public scrutiny after the shooting.
Carlile was offered a position as a code enforcement officer, which he declined. He wrote that he loved being a police officer and that he couldn't see himself doing anything else. He'd been with the department about three years at the time of the shooting.
The termination letter signed by Mayor Jon Nehring called the firing "a very difficult decision." Carlile also received more than 14 weeks of vacation pay.
The investigation called the incident an "aberration." Carlile normally handled guns safely and he made a "singular mistake" with tragic consequences, the report said.
Still, that did not excuse his actions, according to a memo by Marysville Police Chief Rick Smith.
"While the investigator and the facts may make clear that this incident was an 'aberration,' the public expects law enforcement officers to understand and practice responsible firearms ownership. Which in this case, it means securing a firearm so that horrible accidents simply cannot occur," the chief wrote.
The officers association declined to comment for this story.

Cheryl - from Richardson, TX
It sounds like your cake board isn't strong enough to support the cake, and it's shifting as you lift the cake, causing it to crack. You can double or triple the number of cake boards you use, taping them together before covering with foil, or use foam core (and even plywood) cut to size as a base if your cakes are too heavy for a single layer. Also, make sure your layers are flat before stacking. If you leave a crown (dome) on the layer, it can also cause the layer to shift and crack.

Not saying it is fun or clever to commit a foul. Clearly not. Dangerous shit. The rules are there for a reason.
That said. It's crazy what people can do when they are pumped up, or think they can get away with.
Have you seen any wild fouls at local shows? Or can you think of any ridiculous rule breaking on big shows?
The wes simms stomp on Mir was outrageous. Kyle biting his chest was nutty as well. Will anyone ever out do dirty bob's axe kick to the back of matsui's head?

As of January 1, 2012, "residential land" also includes two acres or less of land on which a residential improvement is located and where the improvement is not integral to an agricultural operation conducted on the land. Prior to the House Bill 1146, the land associated with a residential improvement on property that was classified as agricultural was valued according to the agricultural use of the property as a whole regardless of the occupant's participation level.
Letter to property owners regarding HB 1146
Property owners that would like to express their concerns about this change in the law should contact their state legislators. You can determine your representative using the link below and selecting "Legislators" from the category list on the left of the map after you have entered your address. Colorado My Neighborhood Map
Colorado statutes define agricultural land for assessment purposes as one of the following:
Agricultural land is valued by capitalizing the landlord's net income into an indication of value using the capitalization rate established by law.

Hunter Hayes denying Selena Gomez relationship rumors
Listen to Hunter Hayes on iHeartRadio | Listen to Selena Gomez on iHeartRadio
Hunter Hayes says he's not dating Justin Bieber's ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. The country star adds that he doesn't even know how those relationship rumors got started.
Hunter tells CMT Radio he's only ever met Selena once, and that was a very brief encounter. He recalls that they "literally just shook hands and said hello."
While Hayes knows that being famous means his personal life will become tabloid fodder he says it's still "strange," and it's "the one part" of the business "that nobody kinda can tell you about or prepare you for." He adds that once the rumors got started he "kinda felt bad for Selena" because "she was awesome."
Hunter does admit he has a celebrity crush. But he's not willing to divulge who she is, because he doesn't want her to know. The singer explains that if they do ever meet and she knows how he feels, that "could be awkward."

text: Move over Justin Bieber, you have been surpassed. Baby, which had been the all time leader on YouTube with 803 million views since its debut back in February 2010, has been bested by Gangnam Style which now has 805 million views in just four months since its debut. Definitely going to pass a billion views before the end of the year. Apparently Bieber fans have been screaming on chat boards and trying to get Baby back on top, but there are just not enough people who care about Bieber any longer to make it happen. He has outlived his shelf life. Not saying that Gangnam Style has not outlived its shelf life too. I think this will probably be the ultimate one hit wonder, but I do have to ask if Macarena had come along now, would it have the most YouTube views ever. It seemed like it was a bigger one hit wonder.

Uncovering 10 Job Search Roadblocks
September 30, 2013
10 Mistakes Job Seekers Make...and How to Avoid Them
By Ford R. Myers, President, Career Potential, LLC
Many people make significant job search mistakes and never even know about it. These blunders are easy to make, and they can cost you the job offer or lose you thousands of dollars.
Below, I reveal 10 of the biggest mistakes, and explain how to avoid them.
Mistake #1: Relying on Online Job Postings
In general,
postings and "want ads" produce little value. However, it is also a mistake to ignore them altogether. Some of the best chances for jobs from ads are in specialty trade publications and web sites of specific industries [biopharma -
, healthcare -
]. I suggest you spend no more than five percent of your valuable time on public job postings.
Mistake #2: Mailing Unsolicited Resumes
Unsolicited resumes are considered garbage, scrap paper and wasted effort. Secretaries kill them, HR managers file them away, and hiring decision-makers pitch them. I advocate abandoning this job search tactic completely.
Mistake #3: Looking Only for Job Openings
Searching only for companies with "openings" is an obsolete job hunting method. The best jobs are rarely listed "vacancies" or "openings." Rather, many good positions are created for the candidate, often at the interview. The key is to shift your focus from "openings" to "opportunities" (which exist nearly everywhere). Remember: every company is hiring all the time, if you have what they need when they need it.
Mistake #4: Ineffective Networking
should be the primary focus of every job search – occupying about 90 percent of your time. However, I find that most people go about it the wrong way – by talking too much and by asking for jobs. The best networkers are big listeners rather than big talkers. They have a clear agenda, and are not shy about asking for feedback and guidance. Remember: networking is more about giving than it is about taking, so always come from an attitude of generosity.
Mistake #5: Leaving Yourself Open to Too Many Kinds of Jobs
Another key to a successful job search is to focus on finding the RIGHT job – not "just any job." Critical factors to consider include satisfaction, growth potential, location, cultural fit, great co-workers, a pleasing environment and competitive compensation. When the job market is really tough, it's imperative to be more focused than ever.
Mistake #6: Being Unplanned in Your Search
Most people spend more time planning a vacation than planning a job search. I suggest the following tips to conduct a proper job search: a well-thought out methodology, daily solitude and planning, space in the home dedicated to the search, a tracking tool to measure your progress, and a system for accountability.
Mistake #7: Doing it Alone
You pay a mechanic to change your oil; an attorney to create an estate plan. Why would you not invest in professional help with your job search? Career Coaches provide objective guidance, help you articulate your value, and provide a proven system for job search success. Many offer excellent advice on salary negotiations – often exceeding the job seeker's expectations. If you can't afford a career coach, take advantage of low-cost or free support from non-profit groups, universities, municipal programs, and so forth.
Mistake #8: Letting Others Control Your Job Search
I suggest working with a small selection of professional recruiters – they can serve an important role in your search. But you'll need to maintain control over the whole process. Of course, it is best to conduct your own research and target the right companies yourself. Remember: only you can "sell yourself" effectively and land a job.
Mistake #9: Not Preparing Well Enough for Job Interviews
When you boil it down, all job interviews are comprised of five basic elements: articulating your value, conveying your knowledge of the company, asking intelligent questions, negotiating compensation, and following-through. Each of these items has to be practiced in advance, so you can "ace" the job interview. "Winging it" just won't do. Also, be sure to do extensive research on the company and the interviewer ahead of time.
Mistake #10: Not Knowing Your Market Value
You must research and assess your value in the marketplace, so you'll be able to negotiate effectively. Never disclose your
requirements – always get the employer to name the salary or range first. The time to talk money is when the employer has made it clear that you are their top candidate, and after they make an offer.
It is very easy for even the savviest of job seekers to make these mistakes. By learning how to navigate these potential pitfalls from the outset, your job search will be more productive and yield more positive results.

text: The Texans are just so well coached and so accustomed to their system that they make it look easy. When your OC is as creative as Gary Kubiak you can make a good quarterback like Matt Shaub look great. It also helps that they have personnel guys that actually know what they are doing. It pains me to say these things because I dislike the Texans but Jason and Jerry need to be taking notes from thier neighbors down south tonight on how to build a football team.

AUSTINTOWN, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities say one man is hospitalized and four jailed in his beating following a gathering to celebrate the memory of a friend killed in an Ohio high school shooting.
Police tell The Vindicator newspaper (http://bit.ly/HqEdsE) officers were called on a noise complaint to an apartment in Austintown, outside Youngstown, where the group gathered Tuesday, the one-month anniversary of the Chardon High School shooting that killed three students.
Police say officers left and the suspects beat the 19-year-old victim, who was drunk, to keep him quiet. They're accused of then dragging him outside and into a van, with plans to leave him on a roadside.
Troopers say they pulled over the van and found the bloodied victim. He is expected to recover.
The four others, ages 19-21, are charged with felonious assault and kidnapping.
Information from: The Vindicator, http://www.vindy.com
