The Tru Trussardi Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection presents an aristocratic man and woman with a rocker spirit. They love to be bold by wearing tasteful classic clothes mixed with super cool, trendy items. Cosmopolitan and dynamic, the Tru Trussardi man and woman nonchalantly move in a chic metropolitan world and their look turns them into true style icons.
A queen of metropolis, sophisticated with a cool attitude
The Tru Trussardi woman prolongs her tropical dream by wearing floral prints on T-shirts and silk blouses that abandon fresh, bright colors for shades of ruby red and cornflower blue. The time has come to accept the scepter of queen of the metropolis, wearing flowing dresses embellished with Lurex threads, pearl gray sequins, and prints as well as tiny polka-dots inspired by tie prints from the Trussardi archives.Outerwear, which includes sartorial jackets or boyfriend styles, features geometric cuts and distinctive silhouettes in double fabrics, colored mélange tweed, or ultra-soft polished wool. Leather garments underline the rocker soul of the collection, with dresses and pleated skirts and two key pieces: the color block biker jacket and the shearling jacket with contrasting lining.The collection presents striking contrasts such as delicate colors used for cool garments with attitude. Murmansky collars and trim are precious details, while two-tone crocodile jacquard motifs are used for clothes with classic, reassuring lines, which make them strikingly new and completely changes occasions for use.The color palette combines warm, inviting nuances such as ruby red and byzantine purple with cooler shades of blue. Delicate peach is paired up with icy gray and dark brown, while Persian green is combined with the dark hues of smoky gray. Gold, bronze, silver and metallic colors are combined with black.
A man with an elegant and casual image
The Tru Trussardi man never leaves anything to chance in his wardrobe. The entire collection focuses on details: classic blazers in unlined wool or wool/steel blends seem deconstructed, young and original. They're made so that the extremely refined fabrics are even seen on the reverse side, offering an elegant yet casual image.Shirt prints are borrowed from tie motifs: colorful small checks are the choice for cotton poplin, while plaid patterns are used for flannel. T-shirts have a rocker vibe: prints come directly from the CD covers of eighties bands with their electric colors and flashy graphics.Knitwear is worn from fall to winter and comes in various weights. In the Tru Trussardi man's wardrobe, solid color knits are combined with mélange ribbing. Norwegian jacquard motifs directly from Trussardi's historical archives and the innovative Japan-effect knitwear that is chemically treated to appear unevenly washed out are perfect for making a fashion statement on any occasion.Outerwear includes a leather-look coated nylon parka and bomber jacket besides smooth or quilted nappa leather biker jackets and shearling jackets with a lining in a contrasting color.Blue is the predominant color of the collection and comes in nuances ranging from bora blue to brighter aviator blue and also deep ink blue. Cool opaque hues harmoniously blend with brighter fall colors like lambrusco red, tobacco, warm tan and ebony. Icy and stone grey are paired up with black, bringing to mind futuristic winter urban scenes.Shop the S/S 2014 Collection

Treat the multiple triggers behind inflammation for lasting relief from sensitivity flare-ups.
Itching, burning, stinging and redness are the obvious signs of sensitive skin. The triggers behind these sensations are less clear: genetics, hormones, stress, chemical assaults, foods and even aggressive skin treatments can intensify skin's highly reactive state. The common thread behind irritation, flushing and stinging is inflammation. When paired with the loss of skin's protective barrier, skin health is compromised and becomes highly reactive.
UltraCalming™ contains UltraCalming™ Complex, our exclusive complex clinically proven to control neurogenic and immunogenic inflammatory pathways that lead to skin sensitivity.

Comments about ultracalming cleanser:
I have dry, sensitive skin with redness and I find the product to be calming. The gel does not dry out my skin and leaves my skin soft. I enjoy the lavender scent. I use this product in combination with makeup removing cleansers and it works great.
Comments about ultracalming cleanser:
My skin has never looked better
Comments about ultracalming cleanser:
Love this cleanser... easy, effective and leaves my face comfortable. I put it on and rinse it off in the shower or take it off with a baby washcloth. My father (in his 80's) gets red, irritated patches on his face, but won't fuss. I got this for him and it has taken care of the problem (and I can always tell when he's gotten lazy and stopped using it!) Great pump and value in the large size too!
Comments about ultracalming cleanser:
Love that this product may be used with or without water.
Comments about ultracalming cleanser:
I used this product for about a week after having a facial at a spa while on vacation. It didn't clean my skin well at all. In fact, it left noticeable makeup residue. It was very disappointing considering how good other Dermalogica products are. I switched to the Special Cleansing Gel, and I love it.
Comments about ultracalming cleanser:
This product is good for very sensitive skin. I have somewhat sensitive skin and the special cleansing gel works great so I prefer the lather of that gel over the ultra calming cleanser.
Comments about ultracalming cleanser:
My skin seems to vary day to day. One day it's oily and the next it's dry and flaky. The one thing that always seems to stay the same is that it is extremely sensitive and gets very irritated by the environment. I have been using the special cleansing gel and the skin resurfacing cleanser for years and I love them! I thought I would try the ultra calming cleanser and I am so glad I did. The cleanser is delicate enough not to irritate my skin on those days it's feeling extra sensitive yet strong enough to remove all the grime and makeup from my face. I would highly recommend having several different types of the dermalogica cleanses on hand to fit your changing skin needs due to the changing seasons.
Comments about ultracalming cleanser:
I got an Ultracalming Kit after having a facial with all Dermalogica products at a spa while on vacation. On a makeup-free face, this product is great. My face was smooth and not tight. That night, however, washing my face before going to bed, this product was not good at all. It didn't remove my makeup, even after using an eye-makeup remover first. There was still residue on my face, requiring me to use another product to rewash my face. I was very disappointed as other products I liked very much. I will stay with my tried and true cleanser.
Comments about ultracalming cleanser:
I love how it cleanses without drying my skin.
Comments about ultracalming cleanser:
I have combination sensitive skin. For some reason, my skin has been painfully breaking out lately, with oil in my t-zone and dry patches (yikes!) everywhere else. It was awful. I ended up having a terrible reaction to another skincare line. I returned it and bought this, praying it would soothe my skin, which felt as if I had been though a chemical burn. It was the best thing that has ever happened to my skin. I am highly sensitive to fragrance, so I am extremely happy to have found Dermalogica- wish I had discovered them years ago. This cleanser is moisturizing but effective. Love and will continue to purchase over and over again!

Teaching Strategy
His teaching and related educational activities are directly informed by latest research in the subject matter concerned. Particularly his postgraduate students appreciate a teaching style based on research-informed workshops, integrated design exercises and dynamic group work activities. Unless absolutely necessary, he avoids giving standard lectures based on countless PowerPoint slides with little student staff-interactions.
His personal basic teaching approach is based on a modern and liberal philosophy to learning, where taking initiative and responsibility are high on the agenda. His philosophy is informed by knowledge about teaching and learning, which he acquired through formal training in teaching in higher education and through knowledge and methodology development in my subject area.
His CV comprises relevant evidence, which is directly related to my teaching, education and supervision expertise. Important aspects of my own basic approach to undergraduate and particularly postgraduate teaching are outlined where appropriate. His reflection is based on personal experience of teaching and learning in higher education on all levels including research studies undertaking by groups of students (all levels).
His plans for the future are to continue with his unique teaching style, but to be guided by my more teaching-active colleagues to pitch his teaching at the right level, and to adjust to new developments in the education sector. The overall aim is to optimise student feedback and student progression.

Research Interests
His main research areas in terms of publication output are as follow: treatment wetlands, integrated constructed wetlands (ICW), sustainable flood retention basins (SFRB), permeable pavement systems, decision support systems, ponds and capillary suction time. About 45% and 46% of his research is in water resources management and wastewater treatment, respectively. The remaining 9% are in capillary processes and water treatment.
His SFRB concept assesses the multi-functionality of all large water bodies with particular reference to their flood and diffuse pollution control potential. A novel and unbiased classification system allows all stakeholders to clearly define the purpose of a water body that can be classed as an SFRB. Communication among stakeholders regarding the most appropriate management of SFRB is greatly enhanced. Moreover, the SFRB concept addresses the need to assess the flood control potential of all European water bodies as part of new legislation.
His research has led to the incorporation of findings into national and international guidelines on wetland and sustainable drainage systems. The greatest impact has been made in the area of ICW in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and England. Prof. Scholz contributed to the design guidelines of wetland systems as a research consultant. The guidelines assist managers in all aspects of ICW planning, design, construction, maintenance and management. Moreover, specific guidelines were written for ICW used by farmers to treat farm yard runoff in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and Ireland. These guidelines are specifically mentioned in national legislation.
The guidelines on SFRB and ICW have led to the international uptake of both the SFRB and ICW concepts and the researched hybrid sustainable drainage systems. This work has particularly benefited the British Isles, and Central and Northern Europe. For example, ICW are now being constructed in Belgium, Germany, the United States of America and China.

I came across this Chanel ad, of the beautiful Crystal Renn, on the über fab Madison Plus blog. This ad, according to The Cut, is being used for a store reopening on Spring Street in New York. While many question whether Renn is still considered a plus-size model, The Cut is questioning why they decided to crop out her body. It's a valid point, being that Jean Paul Gaultier ad's included her entire body in his fall campaign.
What do you think?
Is this a big deal or are some making a big deal out of nothing?

I take Keppra 250mg once a day. I have noticed that by 6 in the evening I get some dizzy spells. I am supposed to take 250 twice a day but I am very moody and afraid if I take more this will get worse. Am I getting dizzy cause the medicine is wearing off or is this a side effect. I have been taking it for a year now.
Re: Keppra
I took Keppra for a little while, it made me very moody also to say the least, and my Doctors took me off of them immediately. I was also a little dizzy by time to take meds or if I was a little late. I am now on Depakote ER, Zonegran, Trilepital
Re: Keppra
I was the same way. I was very moody, no one wanted to be around me. I was dizzy aswell. The dizziness should not be because the medicine is wearing off. It, for me atleast, was a side effect of the medicine. I also stopped taking Keppra and now take Lamictal. It has made my life much easier.
Re: Keppra
Well, if you have been prescribed to take 250 mg of Keppra twice a day, then maybe that's what you need to be doing. When a person with epilepsy has been prescribed to take their antiepileptic medication, that was prescribed by their doctor, then you take the medication however many times per day, each and every day. It's not a, "oh, I'll take the medication whenever I feel like it"; or, "I'll take the medication whenever I feel like I'm having seizures." If unless the doctor makes the prescription differently, the person is supposed to be taking the medication day by day, in order to maintain a steady balance of the medication inside the bloodstream. The highest dosage amount that is going to be inside the bloodstream is going to be roughly around 30 min. to an hour after the person has taken their medication. And the lowest dosage amount inside the bloodstream is roughly going to be shortly prior to when the person takes their next dosage amount of medication. For example, with you being prescribed to take 250 mg of Keppra twice a day, this would mean you should be taking your medication every 12 hours. So if you take your first daily dose at roughly 8 AM in the morning, the highest dosage amount that has been absorbed into the bloodstream should be within one hour after you took that 8 AM dosage. Then, at roughly 8 PM in the evening, you should be taking your next daily dosage amount of medication. And again, the highest dosage amount that has been absorbed into the bloodstream should be within one hour after you took that 8 PM dosage.
When treating seizure activity by antiepileptic medication, the person is trying to "Maintain" a steady flow of medication inside the bloodstream.
Here's something else that the person needs to focus their attention on. If it appears that the person is experiencing side effects from the medication, then the question is: "When are those side effects taking place?" If the side effects appear to be occurring at some point after the person has taken the next daily dosage amount of medication, then that might be an indication that the person is taking too high of a dosage amount. Next is if the person is experiencing additional seizures; "When are those seizures taking place?" If the seizures appear to be occurring at some point before the person is due to be taking their next dosage amount of medication, then that might mean that the person does not have enough medication still in their bloodstream in order to control their seizure activity. Now, if the side effects are taking place shortly after the person has taken the next dosage amount of medication; And, if seizure activity is taking place before the person is due to be taking their next dosage amount of medication, then that could be a sign that the doctor needs to make an adjustment with the prescription, by increasing how many times the patient is to be taking their medication per day. For example, if the person is taking 250 mg of Keppra twice a day, if side effects are occurring after the medication has been taken and if seizure activity is occurring prior to when the person is due to take the next dosage amount of medication, then the doctor should make an adjustment by not only lowering the dosage amount of medication, but also prescribing the patient to take the medication three times a day.
Yes, there's a whole lot more detail involving treating seizure activity by medication, that doctors are supposed to be explaining to their patients. But there's no guarantee this will always happen. Sometimes talking to a doctor might be somewhat the same as if you're talking to the wall.

Re: Keppra two times a day, Keppra XR one time a day
XR = eXtended Release. If this isn't being taken and you are taking regular Keppra always take medicine two time a day
Re: Keppra
Hi Ckidd2000,
I utilize Keppra in an unorthodox manner too. The only medication I'm taking now is Keppra. I take Keppra mainly to prevent secondarily generalized tonic-clonics (TCs).
My TCs usually strike in the middle of about monthly clusters of strong partial seizures. To be prepared for the prodromal phase of my clusters, I take a minimal dose of Keppra before going to sleep each night. The prodromals are very vague, and not very reliable, but tend to be of some value as an earliest possible warning. By trial-and-error, and the best to minimize my prodromals to clusters of seizures, I take an alternating weaker, then stronger, minimal doses every other day before going to sleep each night. When the physical side-effects of Keppra become annoying (for me, mainly easily irritated "dry" throat and lungs), I reduce the minimal dose lower until recovery, or a distinct warning event. With a pre-ictal event, or warning, to a cluster of seizures, I take a moderate dose of Keppra immediately. My pre-ictals to a cluster of seizures is a day, to hours, before stronger seizures in a cluster before possible TCs. If, and with continuing and stronger pre-ictals and partial seizure, I then take up to a maximum dose of Keppra for the weighted time period. So far, I haven't had a notable TC for 21 months now, when they were monthly without any treatment, and just about every other month, following "professional" advice.
My seizure clusters usually reach a peak during a sleep cycle. Most research finds more than 50% of typical seizures occur during sleep cycles, the next most common, without differentiation between sleep and awake, and the least common concentrated only during complete wakefulness (the exact opposite is generally believed, because of the riddle that people are asleep when they are asleep). My non-cluster partial seizures have not responded to any medical treatment in my 58 years of life. About 35 years ago, a total carbohydrate-free diet for weight-loss/muscle-mass somewhat stopped my partial seizures, but the diet, diet expenses, and problems with bouts of hypoglycemia, tend to make the continuous diet untenable in economic practice. Bouts of painless and painful migraines, distinct from seizures, do not respond to any continuous treatment, but do respond to brief intermittent treatments, for very short periods (i.e., an isolated, occasional, dose of Keppra tends to stop my migraine, but frequent, or continuous use for TC control, neutralizes this otherwise beneficial effect of Keppra).
When a Medicaid snafu interrupted my Keppra prescriptions, I went a week without taking any Keppra. Luckily, this happened about two weeks before my period of strong seizure clusters, and rough periods of "drowsiness", "raggedy" going to sleep, and vivid dreaming were a problem, with a stronger, than other recent, clusters near schedule. I cited the "red-tape" at: epilepsy-dot-com/discussion/992143
Regular Keppra has a short half-life, so if my seizures leading to TCs were totally unpredictable, it would probably be better to take Keppra every 12 hours at large enough doses to continually block TCs. Since I can make predictions, I can reduce the frequency and the average size of doses of Keppra, and prevent needless side-effects and continual intoxication levels, while relying on how fast Keppra works when I receive a warning.
Doctors tend to be stuck with a "standard practice" philosophy. Long before my epilepsy became life-threatening with massive TCs, doctors told me that epilepsy was rare and outside of "standard practice", with my signs and symptoms. With stronger seizures, Medicaid/MediCruz dispensed haphazard doses/sources of carbamazepine and acetaminophen as "standard practice" until kidney and liver failure, then short and abrupt termination because of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, because the Medicaid neurologist vanished.
Since my non-cluster partial seizures are intractable, I now follow the advice "Complete control of partial complex seizures is sometimes difficult to achieve. Since the seizure manifestations are often not too disruptive, the patient may prefer incomplete control over the side effects of high doses of medication." "Drug treatment: principles and practice of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics" by Graeme S. Avery, (1980, 1987), Chapter XXV, "Treatments of Seizure Disorders" by H. Kutt and F. H. McDowell, page 1023. This stance is beyond the understanding of many neurologists who demand a high rate of success, and/or claim nearly 100% accuracies. In fact, a doctor can't even measure something as simple as a person's height with nearly a "100%" accuracy and precision to the population's value.

Sergeant Joseph "Joe" Newton Armstrong
23 December 1944 — Red Bank, Hamilton County, Tennessee
JOSEPH NEWTON ARMSTRONG was born April 29, 1924 in Red Bank, Hamilton County, Tennessee, and died December 23, 1944 in Achern, Baden, (Baden-Württemberg) Germany.
"Joseph Newton Armstrong" (7) a descendant of SADLER Methodist preachers:
{Louise Frances Adeline (6) Sadler m George Joseph Armstrong, Reverend Jasper Newton (5) Sadler m Daisy Mae Turner, Reverend Caelie Newton (4) Sadler m Adaline Blankenship Smith, John Wesley (3) Sadler m Sarah Gregory, John (2) Sadler m Tiny}, Henry (1) SADLER m Elizabeth "Betsy" Carpenter
1943, July 17th, Joe N. Armstrong, a resident of Hamilton County, Tennessee, enlisted at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia and he was assigned Army Serial Number: 34880417.
In the basement of Red Bank United Methodist Church (3800 Dayton Boulevard) for years has hung a framed sign with names of the church's World War II veterans. The name plate of Sgt. Joe N. Armstrong is in black, indicating he was killed in battle. The church seems to have much more knowledge of Sgt. Armstrong. He is remembered by a Sunday school class named after him.
Article from Chattanooga, Tennessee Newspaper in December 1944:
Sgt. Armstrong Now Listed as Killed in Action
Sgt. Joe N. Armstong, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Armstrong of 3510 Redding Road, Red Bank, was killed in action in a medium bomber mission over Germany on Dec. 23, 1944, the War Department notified his parents Thursday. He had been reported previously as missing on that date.
Sgt. Armstrong was a gunner on a B-26 Marauder bomber. It was shot down over Achern, Germany, (Achern, Baden, (Baden-Württemberg) Germany) during a mission over Neckarels, Germany.
The youth relinquished an alternate appointment by Representative Estes Kefauver to West Point in order to join the air forces as a private following graduation with high honors at Red Bank high School. He was faculty representative for the 1943 class exercises and was a member of the National Honor Society. He was also an instructor in weight-lifting at the Frye Institute.
Sgt. Armstrong held the Good Conduct Medal and the ETO Service Ribbon.
His grandmothers are Mrs. W. B. Williams of Knoxville and Mrs. J. N. Sadler of Chattanooga.

Fiftyeight years ago:
On 16 December 1944 the Germans launched their great counter offensive, known as the "Battle of the Bulge", against the Allied armies in the west, and made considerable progress during the next week under cover of weather unfavorable for flying. It was not until the weather finally improved enough during the night of 22 December 1944 that the full strength of the Allied power could be used to block General Von Rundstedt's offensive. As a means of doing this, it was imperative that the main enemy lines of communication and supply to the Bulge be severed. This lead to one of the most remarkable events during WW II, the lost of thirty-eight B-26, Martin Marauder Bombers on 23 December 1944, from the attack from German anti-aircraft guns and the German Luftwaffe.
On 23 December, 1944, based at Dijon, France, the 95th Bombardment Squadron and under the 17th Bombardment Group (Medium) AAF, Army Air Corp/Force flew out on Mission number 49, for the target: Neckarelz Railroad Bridge, Germany. When skies cleared on December 23, the 17th struck at Neckargemund road and rail bridges, missing the bridge itself, but severing rail lines to the southeast. The 95th Squadron lost still another B-26 to flax, air ship battle number 73, serial number (43-34238). Mission #49 from takeoff to target to return landing took five hours total. The 17th BG used "battle numbers" on their tails instead of squadron codes as in 9th AF. Planes 50-74 belonged to the 95th Bombardment Squadron.
Excerpt from Combat Diary of Tactical Sergeant Delbert F. Kretschmar, Battle No. 54, which appears at the following website: http://www.b26.com/html/people/dk/combat_diary.htm
"Mission was a railroad bridge at Neekars, Germany. Cloudy over target and didn't drop. On the way home was jumped by fighters, ME - 109s, 40 fighters. They got one of our ships, Battle No. 73. I saw three chutes come out. We got five fighters. salvoed our bombs. Plenty of flak and was a rough mission."
The B-26 Marauder Bomber, Ship No. 73 was shot down by a German Luftwaffe fighter plane, a Messerschmitt, Me-109. The American Bomber, Airship No. 73 spun down 1 and half kilometer NW of Achern, 20 km SW of Baden-Baden, Germany. The explosion created a crater 5m deep and 12m wide. It is explained by war analysis that number of chutes spotted included the Luftwaffe pilots. There was one survivor of the B-26 Battle No. 73.

Below is more historical details about B-26 "ERMA", as written about in the German newspaper Achern und Bühler Bote March 8th and March 11th 2003.
Newspaper information provided by Andreas Charvat. "I have made a translation of these German newspaper articles on basis of my faded knowledge of German language":
"It was a dry winter day with snowcovered Schwarzwald-hills and not many people around. The weather was ideal for attack by enemy bombers. An American B-26 bomber was shot down over Sasbach about 1:00 PM, and the plane exploded in an area that today is the Industry Park "Sasbach-West". The memory of this crash became alive again in December 2002, as digging work revealed the front wheel strut and wheel hub of the twin engine bomber.
Erwin Fisher, who has done the research about this incident, established cooperation with the local aviation historian Andreas Charvat from Rastatt, and they managed to describe the crash and fate of the crew in greatest detail. The bombers was on their way back to Dijon after the attack on the railroad bridge at Neckarelz, and were heading west over "die Hornisgrinde". The planes gave reflections from the winter sun, and one could see the airplanes through the contrails. Then the air raid siren sounded, and the people of Sasbach sought cover in the bomb shelters in the local mines and their own cellars. German fighters chased the American bomber unit and attacked the bombers.
One bomber was hit, and dived to the right and spiralled to earth. It looked like it would crash in the center of the city of Sasbach, but in the last moment the bomber flew over Sasbach and crashed west of the railway-track on a farm field. A farmer from Sasbach worked near by the crashsite, and survived the explosion of the plane. He was badly hurt by flying parts from the plane. Just after the explosion eye-witnesses of the air combat and crash came rushing to the crashsite, and found the dead crew members. Copilot Williams bailed out and survived. He was blown towards the southwest and , and landed in the fields around Fautenbach. German soldiers sought for him without result. He was found by a Polish POW named Jan Pyzik, who worked in a workshop in Fautenbach. Pozik handed him over to the police in Achern, and Williams was sent to the hospital in Achern and became later a POW.
Jan Pyzik was described as a good worker. He lost his life January 7 1945 in an explosion accident. The six crewmembers of the B-26 was buried in Achern, and later exhumed by an american commision May 21 1946. The bodies were transferred to Bad Liebenzell and later to St. Avold in Lothringen, and are now buried in USA."
The story of August Serr, who was the farmer who survived the explosion of the plane, tells this story through his grandson Roland Serr. He had heard this story from his father Willy, who was nine years old in 1944.
"The farmer August Serr was 42 years old in 1944. He was working in the fields this winter day with his cow spanned ahead of his wagon.
A German fighter had the american B-26's in sight, and attacked them with high speed. One B-26 which was hit fell to the ground. Roland's grandfather August was near by, and walked up to the wreck of the bomber, as it suddenly exploded. The explosion threw up vast amounts of earth which completely buried August Serr. He was badly hurt, and punctured his eardrums.The crater from the explosion could be filled by a small house. The cow fled in panick with the wagon and returned to the stable, but had later to be slaughtered due to its injuries. August Serr managed to run back to Sasbach in spite of his injuries."

Spirit Airlines announced today that it will begin operations at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on October 24. This news comes on the heels of the US Airways, now the New American, increasing the presence of the largest airline in the world in Phoenix and of Volaris Airlines announcing nonstop flights to Mexico starting October 19.
"Phoenix is open for business," Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton said. "Our economy continues to grow with more visitors and clients traveling to our city and investing in our region. America's Friendliest Airport serves as a hub of economic growth for Phoenix and we welcome expanded flight options at Sky Harbor."
Spirit will fly nonstop daily to Dallas/Fort Worth beginning October 24 and add daily service to Chicago O'Hare and Denver International beginning November 7. DFW is currently served by American/US Airways with 14 daily flights; O'Hare is served by American/US Airways and United with 5 daily flights; Denver is served by US Airways, United, Southwest and Frontier with 24 flights per day.
"These additional flights are evidence that the city and the airport have weathered the tough economic times and are ready for growth," Phoenix City Manager David Cavazos said. "With their strong presence in Latin America, we hope that these are the first of many domestic and international cities that Spirit will serve from Sky Harbor."
Spirit Airlines is based in Miramar, Florida and allows customers to save money on travel by offering ultra low base fares with a range of optional services, allowing customers the freedom to choose the extras they value. Spirit's all-Airbus fleet currently operates flights throughout the U.S., Latin America and Caribbean. The airline will move into Sky Harbor's north concourse in Terminal 3.
"Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport fits Spirit's growth strategy by continuing to take customers to the big cities they want to go to at an affordable price," said Spirit's Senior Director of Network Planning, Mark Kopczak. "We look forward to serving even more travelers to and from the Phoenix area with Spirit's ultra low fares and optional add-ons for a total price that's tough to beat."
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is among the top 10 busiest airports in the country, with over 1,200 daily nonstop flights to 100 destinations.
"We are delighted to welcome the airline into the Phoenix Sky Harbor family, and to offer passengers additional options to some of their favorite destinations," said Phoenix Aviation Director, Danny Murphy.

The East Baton Rouge Parish school system has managed to spend $40 million on school construction and repairs during the past three years thanks to the 2009 federal stimulus act, producing more results than originally planned in some cases and less in others.
The School Board on Thursday heard two presentations that told much different stories on the federal largesse, partly because the money was overseen by different construction management companies tackling different kinds of work.
The upshot is that money for classroom additions that CSRS/Garrard Program Management oversaw went much further than the roughly equal amount of money for school repairs and improvements that Volkert Inc. oversaw.
The $40 million was generated through the sale of no-interest federal construction bonds offered through a program called Qualified School Construction Bond. The bond program was expanded as part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The school system sold two rounds of QSCB bonds in 2010. The money from both rounds had to be spent by late 2012.
CSRS/Garrard Program Management is a joint partnership, which has overseen most school construction in the school system since 1999. It oversaw the spending of $21.1 million of the $40 million raised through the sale of bonds. Taxpayers will have to repay investors who bought the bonds over time.
CSRS was originally slated to build a new temporary classroom building, as well as 12 classroom additions, but managed to stretch that money to build 16 such additions with $356,000 left over.
Earl Kern, program manager with CSRS, said two of the additions were larger than originally planned and the money available also allowed expansion of a few school parking lots.
Volkert, however, cut back the number of projects it was originally tasked to do and spent its entire allotment.
Volkert representatives reported Thursday that the firm had managed $18.3 million and completed 182 school repairs and improvement projects at almost 50 schools.
"We really take pride in the work we've done and have really had a chance to impact many of your facilities," said Phillip Russell, a vice president of marketing for Volkert.
That 182 school repair project total is up from the 130 projects the firm had expected to complete when Volkert reported to the School Board in September 2011, but fell well short of the 266 jobs the school system had originally estimated that amount of money could cover.
Volkert did its own estimates of how much all the work would cost after taking on the project in the summer of 2011 and found the school system's numbers were $5.9 million short of what would actually be required. School official have never said who conducted the estimates or why they were at odds with Volkert's estimates.
Volkert's selection for the QSCB work caused controversy at the time.
In April 2010, the School Board chose Volkert to handle the first round of work paid for by QSCB bond proceeds. Volkert edged out six other firms.
Volkert had sought unsuccessfully to land a 2008 program management contract, but the School Board voted narrowly to retain CSRS, which had overseen school construction since 1999. On Thursday, the School Board deadlocked, 5-5, on whether to extend CSRS's contract through 2018; the board plans to discuss the issue again at its Feb. 21 meeting.
The board chose Volkert in April 2010 even though three other firms, including CSRS, asked for significantly lower fees.
The Baton Rouge Area Chamber urged the board to hold off on signing the contract to allow for an outside investigation. General counsel Domoine Rutledge conducted an internal inquiry that found the process was within legal bounds. Board President Jerry Arbour then signed the contract.
Between summer 2010 and the end of 2012, Volkert shepherded a series of mostly smaller projects, including repaving, exterior painting, new doors, new intercoms and security equipment, resurfacing and new tracks, and new and replaced canopies.
Clay Slagle, senior program manager with Volkert, told the board that projects were changed because original estimates were so off, but also to meet additional needs. He cited as an example a new fire alarm system for Lee High, which was reopened in August.
"Projects locations and project scopes were adjusted by EBR to best meet school needs as we moved through the program," Slagle told School Board members Thursday.
When it was hired in 2010, Volkert promoted its efforts to recruit contractors and subcontractors owned by minorities, women and or business defined as "disadvantaged businesses." Volkert said almost 13 percent of its management fees went to a diversity subcontractor, the Baton Rouge-based Mel Inc.
"We are pleased to report a 19.14 percent participation overall by minority firms in the construction," Slagle said.
"We packaged the work to allow them to compete for that work," Russell said.
Board member Evelyn Ware-Jackson asked Russell how Volkert was able to repackage the work.
Russell responded that "sometimes you break it into smaller pieces." He said those efforts were successful when it came to paving and door replacement, with participation rates of 47 and 38 percent respectively.
Volkert, however, reported no minority participation when it came to replacing windows, working on tracks and stadiums, and installing fire, security and intercom equipment.

Let's get this out of the way up top: of course the Mets should consider trading Ike Davis, in the right scenario. They should consider dealing anyone in the right scenario. David Wright is terrific, but would you deal him for Ryan Zimmerman, who is younger and signed to a more affordable deal than Wright likely will be? R.A. Dickey is great, but would you deal him for Gio Gonzalez, who is much younger and signed long-term? Ruben Tejada is a fine shortstop, but would you deal him for Jurickson Profar, the all-world prospect from Texas?
The answers to all of these questions is yes, I believe. So the issue here isn't that Ike Davis, who Adam Rubin said could well be traded this winter. Lucas Duda would play first base instead.
Presumably, Davis would be dealt for prospects, or to address the Mets' paucity of major league caliber outfielders, perhaps address catcher, and though I'd hope not, perhaps to address problems in the bullpen. Dealing the known quantity which is Davis' production to date for the speculation of bullpen arms would be most distressing.
However, the problem isn't that trading Davis for competent outfield help is so outrageous, given the team's current situation. Lucas Duda is probably a perfectly average answer at first base. And as I've written here before, Davis and Jon Niese are two tradeable commodities that can address other areas of need.
The problem is that the very reason they are valuable to other teams-young, cost-controlled players with significant upside and an established, locked in rate of production-should make them valuable to the Mets, too. And the reason the Mets would need to trade them is because the other avenues of building a team-specifically, money to fill any other holes-have been eliminated under current ownership.
So even though Niese and Davis would not only help the Mets in 2013, but stand a good chance to help in 2014, 2015 and beyond, the Mets would consider dealing them to either address gaping holes in the major league roster that could be filled by free agency with solvent ownership, or a farm system that simply hasn't developed everyday players ready to contribute at the major league level anytime soon.
Instead, they'd be pushing the reset button again. Prospects who are almost ready could contribute by 2014, or they could not. The hope would be to bunch as many of them together as possible, and put together a core of Matt Harvey, whichever other pitching prospects develop (Zack Wheeler is the best of the bunch, by far), and… I guess Ruben Tejada.
Is that a contending team in 2014? I guess, maybe. Possibly.
It's sure not as likely to be one as if the Mets kept Davis and Niese around, building with their young, cost-controlled players who already have panned out. But that's the new reality for the New York Mets. Jose Reyes and David Wright might not be in their price range anymore (or Wright might not stick around, even if they find a way to afford him). And even the recent successes from the farm system, the new building blocks, are simply trade chips themselves.
But don't mistake the fact that the Mets have Lucas Duda, a reasonably good hitter who might fake his way through first base, as some kind of organizational strength to trade Davis from, any more than trading Niese because they have a few pitching prospects is dealing from strength. Look around baseball. These aren't positions of massive talent. They only look that way compared to what the Mets have on hand at, say, outfield, or catcher.
Meanwhile, in a perfectly Mets twist, there's the unnamed organizational source in Rubin's article trashing Davis' work ethic. You could build an all star team of the guys the Mets have publicly disparaged on their own roster. It is self-defeating, and yet never seems to stop.

Addressing Societal Energy Challenges through Technology Innovation: Thermochemical Recuperation for Hydrogen Enriched Combustion
David Vernon, University of California
Friday, November 20, 2009, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
Modern energy systems present important opportunities for efficiency improvement, particularly through integration of systems for multiple service extraction by redefining waste as an input to subsequent processes. This presentation introduces my research on the utilization of waste heat to produce hydrogen, as well as the use of hydrogen enrichment to improve efficiency and reduce emissions in internal combustion engines.
Addition of hydrogen to air-fuel mixtures in spark ignition engines has been shown to enable ultra-lean or high exhaust gas recirculation operation that increases efficiency and reduces emissions.
Thermochemical recuperation (TCR) processes utilize heat from the combustion exhaust stream to power catalytic reformation of the primary fuel in order to efficiently generate a hydrogen-rich gas for hydrogen enrichment. Under some conditions TCR will increase the net heating value of the processed fuel. My research has explored novel application of autothermal reformation techniques to TCR in order to utilize waste heat over a wide range of temperatures while providing a stable source of hydrogen.
Integration of TCR and hydrogen enrichment of spark ignition engines has the potential for 30% increases in efficiency and 95% reductions in engine-out NOx emissions. By focusing research on waste resource utilization technologies we can increase systems integration and achieve transformational increases in efficiency and sustainability across a wide range of applications.
About the Speaker
David Vernon has a B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an M.S. in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering from the University of California, Davis, where he is currently a Ph.D. candidate. After graduating from UW Madison, David worked for five years in fuel cell research and development with W.L. Gore and Associates, Los Alamos National Lab, Polyfuel Inc., and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Since 2003 David has been pursuing a Ph.D. in Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering, with a minor in Transportation Technology and Policy, at the University of California Davis. David's M.S. research characterized the heat transfer limitations for hydrogen production by endothermic steam reformation. His doctoral research leverages this previous work with a focus on using exhaust waste heat for thermochemical recuperation and hydrogen enrichment of internal combustion engines to reduce emissions and improve efficiency. David's future research will focus on integrated design of energy systems for multiple service extraction by using waste as an input to subsequent processes.

A good chunk of the Brussels press corps is in Berlin this week for an annual trip by foreign media to meet German government leaders. On Tuesday morning this included a session with Guido Westerwelle, the German foreign minister, where he vociferously defended the embattled Cathy Ashton.
Ashton, the EU's foreign policy chief, has come under surprisingly public attack recently for her handling of the north Africa crisis, particularly from Belgium's foreign minister Steven Vanackere, who made a rare public rebuke of her performance last month in a Belgian newspaper interview.
But Westerwelle insisted Berlin, at least, was on her side. "Germany and myself, we will support Cathy Ashton," he told the motley group of Brussels-based journalists who had assembled at the foreign ministry. "She has our full support and especially my personal support." Read more

Hello everybody.
I have a question and I searched on how to solve this problem, but I found something easy and similar to what I want, it would be the following:
I need a form where the user to select an option in a combobox form fields change.
eg:selects option 1 Field 1, Field 2 and Field 3 are displayed to fillselects option 2 Field 4, Field 5 and Field 6 appear to fill
And when submit identifies himself was filled fields of option 1 or option 2
Anyone know any tutorial or can point me what should I do?
Hi edumax. Welcome to the forums.
You need JavaScript for this sort of behavior, so your question has bee moved to the JS forum.
Hi ralph.m.
Do you have any examples of this, or know any article that talks about this?
This isn't my area, but I know there are lots of form scripts online that have this kind of functionality—like jQuery forms. I'm not sure how easy they are to customize, though.
Another option is to set up your form through Wufoo, a popular form building service. You can set up conditional rules depending on what options the user has selected. Here's a video on how it's done with Wufoo:
Thanks for that tip I did not know this site, but I can not use it because it is an exercise of college.
Here's an example of the kind of thing I'm thinking of, using jQuery:
it comes near a bit of what I need.
Maybe if I change the "tr" for a "div".
but my question is how to do it with a combobox.
and when you click register, identify what type of record that is being made.
Thanks for your help, certainly showed me the way.
If someone else wants to help. =]
I got a part of the solution.
I asked a question in stackoverflow and "@TheSmose" showed me this code:

LoneWolf15 - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkUntil ATI adds HARDWARE ENCODING (from all I know, the Theater 200 does not) of at least MPEG/MPEG-2 (better MPEG-4), the extra money doesn't justify buying an All-In-Wonder. I'd rather spend my money on a Hauppauge WinTV PVR card, or something else that does that job so I can encode video and free my CPU for other things I might be doing. Reply
Tewt - Saturday, November 26, 2005 - linkNo Theater 550 chip and outdated Gemstar Guide will keep me from buying another AIW card. BeyondTV is ok but it is too buggy/incompatible(esp with ATI AIW cards) and accesses the internet waaaayy too much. Though I liked the automatic download, I had switched to the Gemstar Guide because it didn't access the internet so much and take a lot of CPU usage while just operating in the background. But Gemstar feels old in that I cannot set an automatic download(for instance, once a day check for updates at 9pm) and it cannot get all the channels/programs listed correctly. Not to mention, I've never had a satisfying experience with ATI's multimedia center. Tivo has been out so long, why can't ATI, Hauppage or Snapstream get it right when it comes to ease of use/installation/update?(Yes I know its PC versus consumer electronics but I hope you get my point).
For now the best I can hope for is my Hauppage/BeyondTV combo.
ElJefe - Thursday, December 01, 2005 - linkI know this is now an old thread, but I have to add some things:
550 chip has been rated as being LESS clear in picture quality than the 200. yes it has been by all in wonder reviewing sites as well as me personally. For regular tv cleaning up the picture type of function, 200 actually does it better. 550 has some synthetic cleaning procedures for fuzz and such, but sometimes it degrades the picture.
200 actually is where it is at.
But the non hdtv is mad gay.
Leper Messiah - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkMaybe the picture quality is better, but ATi has really stagnated in this market. nVidia needs to get serious in this market and force some competition! Reply
NullSubroutine - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkagain, i think there are alot of people like me who have 19" LCD's who run 1280x1024. seeing who the fastest in 1600x1200 really isnt helpful. i request to have 12x10 with 4x 8x restored in all future benchmarks. Reply
huges84 - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkI second that. The high resolutions are nice for some people, but 1280x1024 with some AF and AA should be a standard test. This helps a lot bigger section of your audience make a decision than 1200X1600 does. Reply
g33k - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkLooking at the 16x12 4aa benchmark it would seems like ATi would be the way to go for 12x10 with 4aa/8aa. Their cards suffer less of a performance hit with AA enabled. Reply
AaronAxvig - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkI have the X600 AIW, and I must say that ATI has dropped the ball on its software. 3 times I have tried getting the TV software to run decently, but I never can. Just last night I tried, on a clean install of XP Pro, with the newest drivers from ATI's website. I thought all was going well, and recording some TV. Then BANG, it freezes. 1/2 hour of recording is gone, and the TV program is stuck there. This is the same thing that has always happened to me. You can't use task manager to end the program; the only way is with a hard reboot. Can't even shut down. So, until ATI does some hardcore fixing (or I find out how to fix it), this card will remain a novelty to me. Reply
quasarsky - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linki'm getting really sick of ati not adding the theatre 550 chip. c'mon ati. get it together! :( Reply
quasarsky - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkoh and at's comment about the card will always be more expensive than a 1800xl regular card? ha
my x800xt aiw card was cheaper than alot of x800xt cards, and it was $275 shipped brand new from buy.com :-D Reply
BPB - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkHow does the X800XL compare to this card? I know neither has the Theater 550 chip, but I was thinking og getting a second turner card anyways for pip, and so I can record one show and watch another. The X800XL is much cheaper and probably meets my needs. Reply
yacoub - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkMore confirmation that a $320 7800GT is still the way to go. Reply
Wilco - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkInteresting the GUIDE Plus+ website lists NVidia as a partner for PC cards but not ATi. Reply
rqle - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkI stopped buying these "AIW" cards. Couldnt jusify the price and continous upgrade. And bought a PCI version of ATI TV card, makes upgrade much easier, doesnt matter what video card i use, still have similar functionality. Reply
erwos - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkNo HDTV tuner? Check!
Only one DVI out? Check!
No Theatre 550? Check!
No availability? Check!
What an underwhelming product. I like the AIW concept as much as the next guy, but it seems like they've really moved nowhere with the video features in the past few years.
-Erwos Reply
Jedi2155 - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkAlthough I'm a ATI Fan...(fan, not fanboy), I find it annoying that they are still using the Theatre 200 chip....where are you 550??! Reply
agent2099 - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkCouldn't have said it better myself. You'd think by this time the AIW cards would be incorporating HDTV tuners. Reply
phusg - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkHere here. Although nowhere in the article does it mention the lack of HDTV support, I guess you got it from ATIs site. You would expect it on a 4Q 2005 >$400 card really though wouldn't you? Reply
bloc - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkAnand's Benches have the 7800 GT over the X1800 XL
while FS has X1800 over the 7800 GT
Who's right? It makes a difference as one card is consistenly beating the other.
Viperlair has x1800 on top
motherboard.org has 7800 GT
JarredWalton - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkDifferent games, different levels, different settings, and different benchmarking methodologies. Combine those four aspects and you'll get variance in the scores. Our BF2 benchmark uses the Operation Clean Sweep level, which appears to run slower than other levels. Reply
bloc - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkOne card consistently performs better though.
It's not like one card does better with some demo's and the other card in different ones.
Something to consider...as I think if AT saw the XL beating the GT in all benches, the reviews may be better. As would FS with the inverse.
JarredWalton - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkMeh. I generally consider the X1800XL and 7800GT to be about equal. The problem is, why would you want to spend extra for a card that includes an old TV-IN chip? Theatre 200 is not that great. If it were a 550, the additional cost would be worthwhile. I think there are far better TV cards out there that could be used with any setup.
Personally, I've never been a big fan of the AIW series: upgrade your GPU, and lose the TV tuner function! With other tuner cards, you can move them around to other PCs quite easily and GPU performance isn't a factor. Just my opinion, though. Reply
Doormat - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkWow. Nothing mentioned about the whole GPGPU aspect of the X1x00 series of cards. This is the most synergistic part of the whole AIW/X1800 experience. Having the GPU transcode the show on the fly to a suitable format (MPEG4, H264, whatever) for your PSP or your iPod would be an extremely powerful feature. Reply
ElJefe - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkhm what do you mean? didnt aiw already encode and record tv? it does on mine? soemthing different now?
I am trully chipper that this card is out. now i can finally buy a new system. My 9800 aiw pro with 754 a64 system is not completely outdated but before summer it will get to be.
No mention of rage 200 vs 550 theater chips and stuff. hm.
gota go check this out. 429 isnt too expensive for it. you get ALOT of stuff with aiw, and also PICTURE QUALITY, something that is never mentioned in reviews, is always superb on them, hm, i guess it's ati again. Nvidia never bothers to excell in this area. a shame really.
Doormat - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkIt records, but what about when I want it to record in MPEG2 for my home viewing, and then transcode it to MPEG4 for my PSP or iPod Video. Thats the single biggest hook for getting people to buy this card - roll your own videos for you device. And not one nary of a mention in the AT article. Reply
tayhimself - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkBut is the transcoding accelerated by the AIW card? Some sort of new AVIVO feature? This article does seem to forget about AVIVO which was a big marketing push for the X1x00 series launch. Reply
Doormat - Monday, November 21, 2005 - linkNo, the transcoding is accelerated by the X1x00 chip, hence my reference to the whole GPGPU thing in my first post.
There was an article a few weeks ago about how the X1x00-series chips will have custom programs to transcode video...
Encoding this nearly 5-minute clip, at DVD resolution, takes about 2 minutes 17 seconds with DivX 6, with single-pass encoding at 1 megabit. Windows Media Encoder can produce a high-quality single-pass transcode to WMV9 at 1 megabit in about 4:35. Windows Movie Maker 2 takes a few quality shortcuts to produce a DVD resolution clip at 1.5 megabits in 2:05. That's all pretty good: This is, after all, one of the fastest CPUs money can buy, paired with very fast RAM.
How fast does ATI's new Avivo Transcode app get it done? Try 24 seconds! Okay, that's "give or take a second," because the MPEG-4 profile finished a 1-megabit encode in 23 seconds, the MPEG-2 and Windows Media Video 9 profiles were done in 24, and the DVD profile at 6 megabits finished in 25 seconds. That's all at the default full resolution, too. Crunching down the output resolution by choosing the "WMV9 for PMC (Portable Media Center)" profile at 700 kilobits per second completed the job in 17 seconds. Reply

Sleepy Wrap
I had found this baby carrier/wrap while searching for a gift for my friend and her fiance in preparation to welcome their baby into the world. "Magnolia Sunshine". I personally didn't love the name, but they are free spirits and so I felt that this sleepy wrap would be perfect for their progressive/hippie lifestyle and new child. The wrap can be used in a variety of ways allowing the child to be carried close to the chest, on the back, and in a variety of positions that make baby and parent feel secure and comfortable. From reading about this product, the testimonies on the website and all the pictures of happy customers(parents & children) was enough of a reason for me to get this for my friend and her new baby. I also liked that this product can grow with the child (up to 45lbs in some cases!) and also has versatility.

Welp a company finally contacted me about "getting to know my background more" when I applied for their web designer job. I'm unsure of how to prepare for this (interview). The company which contacted me is apparently a staffing company that fills up jobs for other companies. What kind of questions should I expect? I've listed I have several years of experience on HTML/CSS (job requires advanced knowledge of this), and I only have three sites to my name which I've coded for. How do I plainly put it that my experience has been on this website helping people, and fiddling with code / side projects on my own? I HAVE been coding for years...
What questions should I expect?
Each company is going to be different. I think the best thing you can do is to present yourself as not only confident, but also enthusiastic about the position. Ask questions! Most hiring managers (or anyone doing the actual interview) want to know that you're truly interested in working for them. Asking questions is a great way to show interest in both the position and the company. And if you start to feel nervous, remember - they are not there to intimidate, they are expressing a curious interest in you, they want to get to know you. Or they wouldn't have scheduled the interview in the first place. Something about you got their attention. Use that.
Best of luck!
I agree with everything @WolfShade ; has mentioned and I'll also add a bit more.
Go in with a list of questions, about the position, the company (who are they?, what do they do? how many employees do they employ? etc.), as the questions are answered, ask follow up questions. You should be able to spend 10 minutes on your questions alone.
I'm also going to quote myself from another thread:
You need to be able to do the above. If you show all of the above, you'll have no problems getting a second interview.
As @WolfShade ; says, each company is different and a recruiting company is even more different. They will probably know what are your expectations. Not only salarywise but also in terms where you want to be in the medium-long term (say 5 years from now) especially because you're very young (yep, I do remember you :D)
You're right to suspect that they will ask you about your past projects. The fact that you have only three under your own name doesn't matter. What matter is what you've done in those projects and the bits a pieces that you did elsewhere. In any case, you will have to explain the problem you solved, how you solved it (in easy words) and why you chose that particular option and not other.
So let's say that you improved the CSS of a particular web page. You can then say "well, it had to be adapted to mobile devices and therefore I used media queries to do this. Media queries are very popular to sort out this kind of situation. Since the column on the right is merely superfluos information, I decided that the column would be hidden for mobile devices else the page would be too long to scroll in such small screen"
If it is a personal project, you can always tell them that you created that particular project because you wanted to experiment with different techniques or that you wanted to gain more control over a particular aspect of CSS/HMTL or wanted to challenge yourself to find new solutions to a known problem and be creative with your code.
As long as you can explain your decisions, you should be fine.
If you're just going to have an interview with the recruiter, then you're just going to have to give them things that they can sell. Technical Recruiters are salesmen (or saleswomen in most cases). They probably don't know the difference between CSS and CS (computer science), all they really know is buzzwords. They are salesmen and you're the product. Some are very good, some are not. But even if they aren't good, they can still help you get your foot in the door with an interview and you can become the salesman.
Most of the time they just want to meet you to make sure you're clean and presentable. If they test you on any technical knowledge, it's going to be in the form of some standardized test developed by someone else that will then feed them back information in the form of selling points.
I've been through recruiters a few times and talked to A LOT during job searches. Often you will find that you will be speaking with one and the job they are recruiting you for gets filled and they forget you exist. It doesn't really matter how well you impress them, all they really know is buzzwords and if you don't fit those specific buzzwords, then you don't meet the qualifications. I mean it could be something as simple as the difference in "PHP Developer" and "Web Developer" (who works in PHP).
I've learned to not much much energy into talking with recruiters until they start talking about definitive times for interviews.
Now if you start talking with a Senior Recruiter, then you need to treat them like they are the ones with the job. They've been around the block and they know their stuff. There is a big difference in these people though, they are generally older (30-50) and have extreme confidence, as opposed to the young good looking recent college graduate who acts like they will start crying if someone yells at them.
One of the problems is that I'm unable to find out which company will be the one hiring me. The recruiting company places IT people across "several of the biggest companies in the Pittsburgh area." So I probably won't find out about which company until I do the interview. I can ask some basic questions about them there though.
As far as salary goes, I shouldn't be too picky I presume? It being my first job in the field. I don't want to make it seem like I'm picking the job purely for the pay. How should I play that off? Would saying "I don't care about the pay" work as a hindrance to me?
The woman who contacted me, her title is "Talent Qualification Specialist - Pittsburgh"
Thanks! I'm definitely enthusiastic. I plan on mentioning that this isn't just a career to me, it truly is my passion and I will be dedicated.
Long time no see Molona! What should I say about my salary expectations? Should I look at entry level job salary comparisons and kinda give them a figure in that range? Or should I shoot semi high and haggle it down?
In two of the websites, I was sub-contracted by a member here to take a PDF and code the home page. From there, the person was able to employ that on the remaining pages since the structure made it easy to do that. Hopefully I can get my new website up and running to have my portfolio online before the interview - so I have something to show
So I have to shave :(? Shouldn't be a problem . I'm getting back into the game, and was wondering if doing more CSS3/HTML5 studying would be more appropriate than making sure I'm technically sound in all other areas.
I'll remember that about Senior Recruiter. I do not believe my recruiter is one.
It depends on what's your goal. If you can't prove your experience and what your goal is to get "your first job", go medium-low but not for the minimum, especially if you told them that you have years of experience.If you believe that your knowledge can be put to the test and you can solve any problem or be tested successfully by a seasoned coder, then go for medium-high, furthermore if you can prove your experience and how good you are.If you don't know how much you're worth, then again, I'll go for medium-low.
Since this seems to be a recruiter, ask them. They should know the field and what it is currently paying. They should have filled this role for other clients and know what salary was negotiated. Ask them what range they see being offered for these positions and then discuss with them based on your resume and experience where they think you fit in that range.
Another good thing to do is to search for it.
Keep in mind, your searches are not guarantees. If the recruiter gives a number that is 10-20 thousand less than what you see online, that very well could be accurate. If they give a higher number, that smile and say "that sounds good".
Having a number in mind lets them find a company who is in that range. So long as your experience lines up with that salary range, you will be good to go and the recruiter can tell you this information (at least the good ones can).
I'll just add my 2 cents here (because, that's good advice), but never ever aim for low! That only shows you don't value your abilities. Always aim for medium (middle of the salary range) or higher if you feel confident in your abilities. Also remember to negotiate any vacation days, sick days, etc. That usually is always overlooked and is negotiable (when salary might not be too negotiable). The point is, just make sure you feel you have what you need to be happy in the position being offered.
Lastly, when being hired mid-late in the calendar year, your vacation days will be very limited as companies usually only give out the full amount at the beginning of the calendar year. So be ready to negotiate this if you already have holiday plans.
Agreed, but it depends upon the company. For example, the company that I currently work for starts vacation/holiday hours on the fiscal calendar (July 1) instead of the calendar year. It all depends upon how the company models itself.
I would put myself above average, personally so I'll go for maybe a smidge above the average and see what they say. Thanks.
Gotcha. Thanks.
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks
Along with that, make sure you also look into insurance. Some contracting firms have decent insurance rates, while others provide bare boned and/or outrageously priced products. Not necessarily a deal breaker unless you have a family to support, but something to be aware of. One firm talked a big talk and offered me a 15% raise from my salary at that time, but when I priced it out after insurance, it was only a couple hundred dollars more a year as their insurance was more than double what I had been paying....
This is relevant if you're in the job market.
I completely agree with @mawburn
Though... I've never dealt with Senior Recruiter but had horrible experience with all recruiter. They do not care about when to call you or setting the interview schedule. They only understand buzzwords and will try to convince you that the job they have is your dream job. At least from my perspective, you don't need to shave or even wear suits if you're interviewing a recruiter.. heck.. I would only do "phone interview" with them as they do not have the power to hire you on the spot. I'm pretty sure they have multiple candidates for the same job you're competing. They do not care as long as someone gets hired. I strongly advise looking for a job at monster or other job sites where you don't have to deal with them. Again, I've never dealt with Senior Recruiter so.. maybe they are worth your time. Good luck!
That's very weird... The first thing that all recruiter said was "We have job available at XYZ for ABC and here are the benefits". Only thing they were very hesistent to say is the salary range and instead ask me what I expected. Do not fall for this trap! Some say like "It depends on the skills and experience you have". This is very true but ask a question back "With my current skill/expereince, what should I expect?". If they keep not answering then you can just ignore that person unless you really want to be hired by XYZ company.
Not my experience with recruiters in the initial stages. Before they actually submit your name, yes. But on initial contact, usually not, especially if they are looking at multiple positions and companies. They'll just touch base to get an initial idea of skills/aspirations before a more formal meet/greet and discussions of salaries before submitting names anywhere - with permission of course. If the company puts your name in without your permission, run away. They'll be blacklisted quickly for that....
I've had great success with recruiters. Granted, I typically reach out to them and tell them what type of position/company I'm looking for and the location I want to work in (if you are wanting/willing to move to a new city/state/country).
All of the ones I've dealt with have allowed me to set boundaries. You can call me between X and Y, if you call outside of that, be prepared to get my voicemail. If it is urgent, send me a text (I can usually read those any time and excuse myself if I'm currently busy). Keep the conversations short and to the point.
The recruiter likely wants to size you up so they can find the best option(s) for you. When they set you up for an interview, be sure to check for other amenities (if they matter to you). Do they have a flexible work schedule? Can you work remote? What type of workflow practice do they employ (Agile, Waterfall, etc)? Open layout or cubicle? etc.
You guys maybe right. The most horrible experience one was when I entered an office that was filled with crazy recruiter monkeys. There were phones everywhere, people running left/right, peer pressuring me to setup an interview the next Morning. This was around 10 years ago... so I think you guys know more on recruiters then me.
Not really.
If you submitted your resummé, they will do a generic interview simply to see how you look and behave and your skills, and then check what position you may fit into with the companies they already work with.
If they contacted you but they don't tell you the name of the company, it is either because the company itself doesn't want them to disclose it (maybe because it is a major company and if someone one that a position is open there people will go crazy and send thousands of CV and would ask for higher salaries) or because they have more than one company with openings and similar characteristics, and depending on how they see you and your presence, they will send you to one or other.
I never had a problem with recruiting companies. Even today, they give me quite a bit of work although, of course, the salary can't be as high as if you're directly hired by the company

Daniel Radcliffe is EW's Entertainer of the Year!: His 10 Most Memorable Moments
EW just named Daniel Radcliffe the number one Entertainer of the Year. Congrats, Daniel!
-Lucia Peters
It's that time again! No, not holiday time (though we're in full holiday swing here at BettyConfidential). No, not sexytime, either (save that for the bedroom). It's December, so that means it's almost the end of the year! And that, of course, means year-end celebration posts. So let's kick this year off with a little help from none other than Daniel Radcliffe!
You see, Entertainment Weekly just named DanRad Entertainer of the Year—quite the honor! The title has previously been held by the likes of Taylor Swift, Sandra Bullock, and Robert Downey Jr., among others, so he's in good company. Congrats, Daniel! It's been a busy year for you, and you definitely deserve it. In honor of the occasion, let's take a look at some of Daniel's most notable moments throughout the years, shall we?
1. Daniel's Acting Debut
Little Dan made his professional acting debut at the age of 10 in a 1999 BBC adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield. He played the young version of David in the first part of the two-part miniseries. The all-star cast also included Maggie Smith as Betsey Trotwood; little did Daniel know that this would be the first of many, many collaboration with the future Professor MacGonagall. Awww, he's so tiny!
2. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Ah, the moment when the world at large was first introduced to the young Mr. Radcliffe! Legend has it that when Chris Columbus, the director of Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, saw a video of David Copperfield, he pointed at Daniel and said, "This is what I want. This is Harry Potter." The very first image most Potter fans can recall seeing of the film is the one pictured above: Dan as Harry with his snowy owl Hedwig on his arm. Perfect? Yes.
Read 25 Things About Elizabeth Olsen
3. Equus
Daniel, wisely, knew that if he wasn't careful, he would only ever be thought of as Harry Potter—not something that bodes well for a career later on down the line. So in 2007, he took a gamble and signed on to play troubled teen Alan Strang in a high-profile revival of Peter Shaffer's play Equus. The role required him not only to perform onstage—something he'd never done before, and unlike many young British actors, hadn't trained for—but even more nerve-wracking, to play a nude scene. A lengthy one. Eight times a week. Naturally Potter fans flocked en masse to both London's West End and Broadway to see him and his Potter co-star Richard Griffith; but he garnered some nice critical reviews as well.
4. The Leather Vest Photo Incident
The infamous Leather Vest Photo Incident came hot on the heels of Equus. Some thought it was hot; some thought it was tacky; but either way, it forced people to see that Daniel was growing up. Risky? Maybe, but like Equus, it ended up paying off.
5. Grauman's Chinese Theater
2007 was a big year for Daniel: He and Potter co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were immortalized at Grauman's Chinese Theater in July, planting their hand, foot, and, yes, wand prints in a square of cement on Hollywood Boulevard. Now that's how you know you've made it.
More of Daniel's most memorable moments, including Deathly Hallows and the "I lost my virginity to an older woman" episode, up next!
