For many candidates looking for computer information technology jobs, having a crystal ball to determine what aspects of their background carry the most weight for hiring managers would be most welcome. Luckily, the good folks over at Bullhorn Reach – a provider of social media recruitment solutions - recently released the results of a study that shows what pain points are sending up the most red flags in the minds' of employment gatekeepers.
Conducted in August 2012, the researchers surveyed a mixed bag of 1,500 recruiters and hiring managers and determined what factors are most likely to either accelerate a candidate through the hiring process or terminate him/her from consideration for an open position. Here's a snapshot of the most important findings:
- 70 percent of respondents said that candidates in their 30s were the most placeable.
- 39 percent of respondents stated the most damaging behavior that a candidate can engage in is job hopping.
- By contrast, 31 percent of respondents stated that prolonged unemployment was the biggest barrier to employment while 28 percent suggested the most significant obstacle is gaps in employment history.
How significant is unemployment?
36 percent of respondents suggested that being unemployed for six months to one year exponentially decreased a candidate's chances of getting a new gig. And this makes sense as hiring managers may fear that the candidate has allowed his/her skills to rust or hasn't adapted to cutting edge technologies being utilized at that organization.
And if candidates aren't seriously heeding these results, they should also note the fact that recruiters stated it is easier to place someone with a criminal background than someone who has been unemployed for two years or more. That means that you could have knocked over the local convenient store and still have a better chance at landing a new role than a candidate who has been apathetic about his/her search. Sounds like a stretch, but the data doesn't lie.
Concerned? The IT industry is waiting.
Whether a candidate is seeking full time or contact work, the IT industry is a beacon of stability. With half the unemployment catalogued for the nation as a whole, technology professionals are in high demand and largely in the driver's seat of the hiring process.
For example, according to USNews Money's list of the 25 Best Jobs of 2012, careers in computer programming, computer systems analysis, web development, database administration and software development were all in the top 10 based on stability, projected growth, salary and satisfaction.
And if a candidate fancies contract work, a recent study by OnForce found that 41 percent of the 533 independent technical professionals polled expressed more optimism about their job prospects, up from 39 percent who stated the same last year.
So, if you're among the body of people concerned with unemployment making you unemployable, then now may be the time to migrate to the IT field or sharpen your technical skills to make you more marketable to prospective employers. IT is stable, it's sexy, it pays well and can be deployed in virtually any industry. What are you waiting for?

Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider and some of his biker buddies are planning a ride to raise money for premature babies.
Two of the Long Island native's four children were born 7 1/2 weeks premature, prompting his involvement in the March of Dimes' "Bikers for Babies" event May 21.
"When you're in there in that preemie ward, you see a lot of seriously ill babies," the 51-year-old singer says. "Your baby is in there at 4 pounds and you're so worried, and they're bringing in 1-pounders, 11/2-pounders. You look at these kids with respiratory problems and circulatory system issues and all kinds of problems, and the medical expenses are astronomical."
He's asking fans to sponsor him by pledging any amount through a link on his Web site.
"Bikers are real softies when it comes to babies," Snider says. "You see some of them with stuffed animals on their bikes."

Anaheim gave shortstop Orlando Cabrera a $32 million, four-year deal last night, and the Houston Astros cut Wade Miller when they refused to offer the injured pitcher a 2005 contract...
NEW YORK Anaheim gave shortstop Orlando Cabrera a $32 million, four-year deal last night, and the Houston Astros cut Wade Miller when they refused to offer the injured pitcher a 2005 contract.
On a busy day of deals among players eligible for salary arbitration, Minnesota outfielder Jacque Jones agreed to a $5 million, one-year contract, and Toronto right-hander Justin Speier got a $4.15 million, two-year agreement. Players on rosters who weren't offered contracts by 9 p.m. Pacific time become free agents.
Among players who were already free agents, two left-handed relievers agreed to two-year contracts, with Steve Kline getting $5.5 million from Baltimore and Kent Mercker $2.6 million from Cincinnati. Los Angeles and left-hander Wilson Alvarez finalized a $4 million, two-year agreement, and Texas completed its $1.8 million, two-year deal to re-sign OF David Dellucci.
The big three-way trade that would send Randy Johnson from Arizona to the Yankees could be sent to commissioner Bud Selig for approval today. The deal also involves Los Angeles, which would send outfielder Shawn Green to the Diamondbacks.
But the Yankees are moving ahead on another front. New York owner George Steinbrenner is scheduled to meet with free-agent center fielder Carlos Beltran today in Tampa, Fla.
On the trade front, San Diego acquired outfielder Dave Roberts from Boston for outfielder Jay Payton, infielder Ramon Vazquez, minor-league right-hander David Pauley and $2.65 million.
Cabrera replaces spunky shortstop David Eckstein, who was not offered a contract by the Angels. Cabrera was dealt from the Montreal Expos to Boston in July and helped the Red Sox win their first World Series title since 1918. But Boston replaced him with Gold Glove winner Edgar Renteria, who left St. Louis to accept a $40 million, four-year offer from the Red Sox.
Cabrera's deal calls for a $4 million signing bonus payable over four years, $5 million next season, $6.5 million in 2006, $7.5 million in 2007 and $9 million in 2008.
D.C. stadium deal reached
District of Columbia Mayor Anthony A. Williams and Council Chairman Linda W. Cropp reached agreement on a stadium financing package that they said will satisfy Major League Baseball by guaranteeing construction of a permanent home for the Washington Nationals along the Anacostia waterfront.
Under the agreement, which the full 13-member council is to vote on today, the District would pursue private financing options for several months. But Cropp said she will drop a requirement that half the ballpark be privately financed.
Mike Cameron, New York Mets center fielder, had surgery Friday to repair cartilage in his left wrist and won't be able to play until after Opening Day. Cameron, 31, felt discomfort in his wrist during a game in September, and the pain reappeared during workouts last week, the Mets said. Team doctors told him he can resume full activity in March, but won't be able to play for the team until after the Mets' opening game on April 4.
Left-hander Kent Mercker agreed to a $2.6 million, two-year contract with Cincinnati.

Hobby People Sport Flyers Quick-1 EP Jet (video added)
Well, if anybody has seen this new Quick-1 EP Jet from Hobby People, you already know it looks fast just sitting there.
I guess since there haven't been any postings about this jet on RCG, I will start a build/discussion thread about it.
The thing I like most about this jet, is that it's depron, so it's stiff, that it has a low parts count out of the box, and it actually performs great with the stock power system.
Soo, here we go:
Power system/servos:
KMS 2208/09 outrunner
KMS 18 amp ESC
Impulse 1330 mah 3 cell lipo
Mojo E8 servos (x3)APC 5X4.75 prop
Firstly, upon opening the box, I found all the parts to be wrapped in plastic, all undamaged, and ready to be assembled. The depron has this laminate over it which seems to help with it's strength and durability. Looks to have been cut with a hotwire. A photo illustrated manual was included as well, which I quickly skimmed through to get an idea of how the build would go. Looks pretty easy to an experienced foam builder/flyer like me.
The manual has you first install the recommended motor into the rear of the fuselage, which is prebuilt, and with firewall and plywood parts glued into place.
The next steps were to install the carbon fiber flat spars into the LE and TE of the wing, ouside of where the vertical fins would be mounted. ll the carbon pieces were precut, so it was straightforward.
The manual has you epoxy them into place, but I hate havingto glue carbon fiber in place, so I broke out the scotch tape, and taped them in place. I haven't had any problems doing this before, nor have I had the tape tear on me. Plus, this allows for an easier and clean removal if something goes horribly wrong...
After sanding down the tips of th carbon to get them flsh with the wings, I moved onto the next step, which was beveling the ailerons, and tapping them into place. I find beveling to be easiest with a ruler, and a sharp hobby knife, whereas they suggest you sad a bevel into the surface. Either way works, just I find cutting cleaner.
Up next was to install the wing into the fuselage, which was a breeze. The cutout in the rear of the wing made this easy. I decided to use gorilla glue fast cure to build the plane, as it's cheaper, dries a lot stronger and more flexible, and I need only a very thin bead to get the job one well.
The manual instructs you to next glue the precut carbon spars onto the botom of the vertical fins, or fuselage booms. Again, I hate gluing carbon onto foam, so I just used scotch tape here. Worked fine, but I had to wait for the glue to dry on the wing first before I could glue the booms on.
After about 20 minutes, I now glued the booms in place, checking their measurement to be 90º, which was a snap with the sanding block
At this point, I had a big smile on my face, as this park jet was now taking shape, and beginning to look fast.
Now, I had only to mount the round carbon wing spar, which just rests ontop of the wing, and ges through the booms,and the fuselage. I just tapped it int place, instead of gluing. This wrked pretty well, and I only used 3" strips of tape to get the job done. No flex.
With only the elevator left to assemble, I hopped to it. Again, the manual instructs you to glue a precut carbon fla into the TE of the horizontal stab., but I jut tapped it. Next, I beveled the elevator, and notice something in the manual:
"IMPORTANT Make sure that when you sand the bevel into the bottom of the elevator, that the precut elevator control horn mounting hols are orientated towards the right side."
I found the elevator servos slotcut into the left side of the wing, whih is no biggie to someone ike me.

I am planning on finishing the review when I'm at my pc, but I had to run this morning
Not to spoil the review, but it's my new favorite plane to fly, and will go with me everywhere
So, now after hinging the elevator, I proceeded onto measuring out the centerpoint on the elevator, and marked it. I then glued the elevator into place using gorilla glue fast cure, again using my handy sanding block to make sure it was perpendicular to the fuselage booms.
The manual now calls for the installation of two carbon rods cut to 6 7/8", or 175mm. Then, I glued them into place on the centerpint of the elevator, and onto the bottom section of the fuse booms.
Radio Installation:
The next few steps involve installing 7-9 gram servos. I chose Mojo E8 servos, as I had a few of them on hand, and they provide plenty of torque for a model of this size. You will need 3 of them: 2 for ailerons, and one for elevator.
I had to cutout the servo mounting slots a bit more, as my servos were a bit wide. I got them installed pretty easily then, and glued them in place with a smal dab of gorilla glue on the bottom of the wing. Slid them back out first, then added the dab, and slid them back into place, to make a clean installation.
The next few steps explain how to make control rods. I'll go over them a little bit: cut a 1" piece of the supplied piano wire, and make a z-bend in one end. Cut the carbon rod to length, and cut a 1 1/4" piece of heat shrink tubing. Slip the heat shrink onto the carbon rod, and put the piano wire in place, then add a drop of CA into the top. Using a heat gun, shrink the tubing, leaving about 1/8" of space between the carbon rod, and the z-bend.
After making 2 of he above for the ailerons, I then finished them off by repeating the above steps, but centering the surface, with the z-bend installed into the 2 part control horn with plastic clip on back. Then shrink the tubing into place, using a piece of aluminum foil between the rod and the foam to protect the foam from heat damage.
Next, I proceeded onto doing the above, but for the elevator. I mounted my elevator servo with a piece of double sided tape. I accidentally went ahead of myself, and forgot to install the plywood standoff, ot keep the rod from flexing, so I had to cut up the heat shrink, and pull the z-bend off, to slip the part on, then reassembled it. I then glued the plywood standoff into place using tpae and gorilla glue fast cure, which I let sit overnight.
Now, that assembly was almost done, I used the included velcro to install the ESC, receiver, and battery, which fit nice and snug into the bottom of the fuselage, exposed in the cooling airflow.
The batry is mounted with a piece of velcro the width of the battery, on the opposing side of the leads. The "hook" side of the velcro is mounted inside of the fuselage, in front of the fuselage shelf inside which holds the electronics. It's a vert nice and snug fit, but only allows for marginal space to connect the battery to the ESC. I suggest adding about an inch of wire onto the battery or ESC to allow for an easier connection. Wit the recommended inpulse 1330 mah 3 cell lipo, the battery leads are just long enough to allow a bit of slack between the ESC and battery. My thunder power lipo has a shorter lead, so it fits very tightly.
That just about completes the assembly of the plane. I setup my control throws for 1" (125mm) up and down on all surfaces.
The grand total AUW, even with all that tape, is a whopping 11.25oz.!! The manual suggests an AUW of 12oz.

Flight Performance:
After doing my usual preflight checks (checking control throw directions, checking CG, checking throttle, and range check, as well as checking everything for a strong fit), I htrottled up, and got a bit of a running start, and threw it forward.
I thought the plane was gunna fly like it's overweighted, and underpowered, but at half throttle, the plane got airborne, and was now cruising around. Took about 10 clicks of right aileron to get it to fly level. I knew my CG was back too far because the nose was pitching up from level flight, and I knew the elevator was centered as well. No biggie to me, I just flew around at half throttle.
At this point, I wanted to test full throttle, so I punched full throttle, and pointed the nose upward. It has a very nice climb rate at about 60º. Vertical power is a bit lacking, but I don't mind at all. Vertical is for 3D
So, now I wanted to check out its aerobatic performance, and soon found out it flies very nicely inverted, however requires about 1/4 down elevator to maintain level flight. It does outside and inside loops from level flight, with a bit of throttle management. It does rolls, and barrel rolls in either direction nicely. Soo, now I wanted to see what it would do in a stall. I pulled full elevator while cutting the throttle, and loe and behold: An Elevator! So, now I really wnated to stall it. I punched full throttle, and went vertically, then cut the throttle. It stalled out, and flipped right over, with the nose pointed down. I regained complete control after about 10 or so ft. of free falling, and it gaining speed.
Slow flight is also very nice. Just bring the throttle down, and be gentle on the controls to not put it in. I haven't flown a jet the does both higher speed flight, and slow speed flight, all in the same convenient package.
I have to say, I am very impressed with this pusher jet at this point.
Landing the plane is also a breeze. All you have to do is keep the nose level with the ground, and cut the throttle about 2 ft. up. I like to come in from a somewhat shallow dive from about 40ft. up, and cut the throttle on the way down. It comes in real slowly this way.
There isn't any touch and go potential with this plane, as once it's in, it doesn't want to go back up easily. Too much surface area contacting the ground.
-Fast building
-Excellent parts fit, and quality
-Awesome flight performance even without a rudder
-Plenty of power on the recomended system
-Preassembled fuselage, with everything precut
-Silkscreened graphics
-Fuselage has the elevator cutout on opposite side the manual states
-Bit tight inside the fuselage for receiver, ESC, and battery installation
-No landing skids to protect bottom of fuselage
I have to hand it to Hobby People. They have made a really awesome sport jet, that can go fast, or slow way down. It's going to go everywhere with me now.
This jet would be perfect for lazy sunday flying (like I have been doing today), or getting a few of them, and having a race at your club.
Flight Video!
Sorry for the bump, but I got a flight video of the plane
A bit shakey, because my camera man refuses to use the camera boom

Xpress, I got one for Christmas and am planning on ordering the motor etc later this week. You commented about the power. Did the recommended motor do what you wanted or would a size bigger be better. Yeah, I know that sounds like a dumb question to many. Interesting video. You're a braver person than I. With the houses, trees, tractor and traffic, it makes me glad my club field is so close! I'll make note to put the standoff on before sealing up the pushsrods. Cheers.
The recommended KMS Quantum 2208/09 outrunner motor is plenty of power for it. With a 1300 mah 3 cell pack (~13-15C), the motor will push the plane vertically for a few hundred feet, before it begins to fall off to the side. It's a sporty jet, that loves to fly slow as well as fast. I'd estimate around 60mph from a dive. Also, I can get 10 minute flight times easily, however with full throttle use often, the motor tends to heat up. Also, check the prop adapter bolts when you get the motor. 2 of mine were too short to reach, and the other 2 were just long enough.
And thanks I tend to be too lazy to walk over to the open parkinglot across the street, and just fly in my neighborhood. I've got ~7 years flying experience, so I'm pretty good at dodging the trees, houses, and that pesky light up the street
^I haven't flown a Lynx before, but I can tell you this would be a perfect 2nd or 3rd plane. Or, if you're like me, then it'll be a perfect low flying pylon racer
Rchotdeals has a motor combo 2208-09 2600 kv and esc for 30 bucks I think. Its not the KMS motor but looks like a good sub. For some reason they don't give a prop size for this. What are the battery compartment measurements? This looks like a good fun inexpensive prop jet. Your flying in the neighborhood is mighty impressive.
^But my neighborhood is going away this weekend. Moving to a tree filled area
Prop sizes would be 5" for a ~1700-2000Kv motor, something like a 5x4 prop. As for battery compartment, any 1300 mah sized lipo will fit in there (with the exception of Hobby City 1300 mah lipos). The recommended Impulse lipo is a perfect fit, however the mounting method can hack at the airframe.
Maidened my Quick jet yesterday and you are correct about the kit. I did used an under hand toss into a perfect climb out and flight. The 2208-12 outrunner is a good match with a 6x5 apc and 1300 lipo from RC hotdeals. The 2208 will take the jet nearly straight up. With the generous wing area the jet also slow flys and will land at walking speed without tip stalling or having the bottom falling out. Really a good deal at 25 bucks,great quality, performance and really good instructions. My hats off to Hobby People and Sport Flyers.
^6x5 prop seems a bit big. Maybee want to try a 5.25x4.75 to keep amp draw down, and prevent the motor from overheating.

You may recall Sam Wang, the Princeton neuroscientist whose statistical analyses I referred to frequently during the 2012 election. He now has an article in the New York Times where he analyzes the actual risks for causing autism versus the frequency of news coverage. As he says, "by far the largest risk is genetic. In comparison, the measured impact of environmental risks ranges from nonexistent to small, unless you work directly with chemicals in a factory."
The results are strikingly presented in this graph and shows how the fear of vaccines causing it tends to dominate the coverage even though there is no statistically significant case to be made for it.
The vaccine fear-mongering of a few continues to cause trouble, with new reports of mumps outbreaks in Ohio and elsewhere.

Here is the short list of what people sometimes think about DevOps, which is NOT true.
•DevOps is for cloud only companies This is not true, because none-cloud companies can run software in cloud too.
•DevOps is for devs No, because Operators (Ops) are required to operate software.
•Ops resources need to learn how to code No, they only need to learn that automation takes more important role than before.
•DevOps is only Only for the cloud deployments This is sometimes true, because OnPrem environments do not support that high-level of automation degree.
•It works for small deployments but ours is complex The more complex project the more benefit from automation.

KIRKMAN Keeps Things Fresh with Variety of Skybound Titles
Robert Kirkman may seem like he's filling all his time with a certain zombie apocalypse, what with plans to go bi-weekly with The Walking Dead comic book this fall, plus season four of the television series of the same name launching in October.
But the writer also continues to write several other series, while also shepherding the Skybound imprint at Image Comics, personally guiding titles like Thief of Thieves and looking for new potential hits like Clone and Ghosted.
We caught up with Robert Kirkman at Comic-Con International: San Diego to find out how he manages all these separate projects, why it's important, and why he thinks publishers that reboot/renumber are missing the point.
Newsarama: Robert, with how busy you are right now, how are you keeping up with some of your other comic book work? What's your schedule like, and why is it important to you to keep the variety in your comics?
Robert Kirkman: It's important because it's fun! I enjoy what I am doing, I'm lucky in life to be doing that. I really love working on The Walking Dead, I love doing Invincible, I love Super Dinosaur. I love working on very different things, having certain moods for the things that I do. I love telling different kinds of stories. I really enjoy it, I make time for it. I have a fairly regimented schedule where I do this here, do that there, and if I slip up I have to work at night, but it seems to all work out, and I love what I'm doing.
Nrama: So each of your projects come from this need to scratch a different creative itch?
Kirkman: Yeah, definitely. I love that all of my projects are completely different. I feel like if I was doing something exactly like The Walking Dead I'd get bored doing the exact same thing. I love that I get different things from different books. They're all different.
Nrama: So, Invincible just saw the return of arguably is greatest villain, Angstrom is back again! What is it about him that led to him becoming this years-long arch-nemesis?
Kirkman: Well, I get carried away sometimes. Angstrom was not supposed to be out of the book from like issue 63 to issue 103. I remember looking back at one point and going "oh, I haven't gotten to that yet. Dangit, that's been a lot of issues!"
But I really like telling long-form stories, and I love that superhero comics are the kind of comics where a guy is introduced in one issue, then five issues he does something else, and ten issues later he does something bigger, and you can tell these stories over long periods of time. I don't know that Angstrom is necessarily Invincible's biggest villain, or his Nemesis, but he's definitely a big part of the story. I think that having him come back after so much time gives it weight. It's really cool to me that fans can read issue 103 or 104 and know that there's stuff in that issue that was planned when I was writing issue 60.
It's kind of stupid that it took me so long to get to it. I feel like when you have a superhero book that's been running over 100 issues, people have invested a lot of time in that! People are invested in the story and the characters, and you have to pay off things. You have to reward them. This is your reward for reading issue 60 through 103. Everything means something, nothing's going to be forgotten. I do a lot of work on making sure that's the case here.
Nrama: Other publishers are a little scared of high issue numbers, it seems, of late…
Kirkman: It's incredibly foolish! All market data indicates that the new number strategy doesn't help books longterm, which I find hilarious. But keep doing what you're doing!
Nrama: What do you do to keep Invincible fresh so that new readers can come into it if they're finding you through your other work?
Kirkman: I think the trade paperback program is very important. Having all your trades in print, and clearly numbered so that it's a series that's almost like a manga series – when you go into a book store and see there's 45 volumes of Naruto. That, I think, encourages you to try a series and get into it.
I don't understand the thinking that "Volume 17" is something you don't ever want to see, that people would see that and say "I can't get into that, that's too many books!"
Because of the digital market and the prevalence of trade paperbacks and graphic novels in the bookstore market, they're very available, and it is fun to be able to go in once a month and buy a new Invincible trade and get caught up! I think having the big numbers, having a long-running series, gives a series weight, it makes it seem substantial. It makes it seem like it's worth investing time into. But, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong!
Nrama: I find the whole format of Thief of Thieves very interesting, the idea of creating this character and circumstance, then handing it off to other people, checking back in, what was the impetus behind that?
Kirkman: Sure! I've been overseeing the book since the beginning, sort of like a showrunner. Nick Spencer, James Asmus, Andy Diggle, those are the guys writing the scripts, but the overall story is something that's worked out between all of us, and was dictated by a lot of my plans for the series early on, and a lot of ideas that have come up along the way.
It's a lot like a television show, that's where it came from. I thought it would be a fun exercise to have a lot of different writers contributing to the same story, so that the overall tapestry would be richer. There's a lot more experiences being plugged into it. I was really enamored to see how things work in a television writers room, and wanted to try that in comics. So far it's been really cool!
Nrama: So are these your guys now? Are these three going to continue to rotate in, or will you be adding and subtracting folks as time goes on?
Kirkman: We'll just have to see, won't we? (laughs)
No, it's an ongoing process. Whether or not there are other new names brought into the mix, we'll have to see. But I think it's going really well and it's a fun process.
Nrama: Super Dinosaur is very unique in its quest for fun – you seem to have a lot of fun telling those stories. Do you find yourself giving something relatively new like that the same amount of focus that you'd give Invincible or The Walking Dead?
Kirkman: Oh, absolutely. I mean, it's a monthly series, all my books get the same amount of focused. Every now and then I'll get sidetracked on things with everything, but I feel like we get caught back up. I'm super invested in Super Dinosaur. I feel like it's an important book, because there needs to be more kids stuff. I think it's great that all-ages books are doing so well in the marketplace in a lot of different areas for different publishers.
It's a lot of fun to do. I like being able to take a break from Invincible and Walking Dead and Thief of Thieves, where it's very adult-oriented dark stuff and do something that's a little more fun, a little more light-hearted, but still complex and cool and has big storylines. It's a lighter side of the ideas that I have.
Nrama: Do you feel like that stems from being a father and wanting your own kids to be able to read your work?
Kirkman: Oh, definitely. Jason Howard and I were working on Astounding Wolfman, and his kids are a little older than mine, but we'd talk about it and we'd realize "it's really kind of cruddy. We do a book, we work in comics, and our kids can't see anything we do!" So Super Dinosaur was something we both decided to do so that we could share with our kids. Our kids really do enjoy it quite a bit.
Nrama: Are there some other ideas you have in the works that maybe are just a page of a notebook but not out there getting developed yet?
Kirkman: Oh man. I'm always working on stuff that's all behind the scenes that could come out years and years from now, or next month. I have a lot more projects in me. Let's just say that. I have a few things in the works that hopefully will be announced someday soon, we'll see! There's definitely more stuff out there that I'd like to do.
Nrama: Why is Skybound so important to you as an imprint, and what has the process of bringing other creators in and helping them tell their stories like Clone and Ghosted been like for you?
Kirkman: I think doing The Walking Dead and my other work has given me the opportunity to shine a spotlight on cool stuff. Any Skybound title that I do is a title that I found, that I think deserves the biggest spotlight possible. If I can use my resources to bring new readers to something, I think it's important to do that. It's nice having my own little corner of Image Comics that I can do whatever I want in.

Colloquialism Definition
In literature, colloquialism is the use of informal words, phrases or even slang in a piece of writing.
Colloquial expressions tend to sneak in as writers, being part of a society, are influenced by the way people speak in that society. Naturally, they are bound to add colloquial expressions in their vocabulary. However, writers use such expressions intentionally too as it gives their works a sense of realism. For instance, in a fiction story depicting American society, a greeting "what's up?" between friends will seem more real and appropriate than the formal "How are you?" and "How do you do?"
Colloquialism Examples in Everyday Life
Colloquial expressions vary from region to region. Below is a list of some colloquialism examples of American origin:
- a bunch of numpties – a group of idiots
- to bamboozle – to deceive
- go bananas – go insane or be very angry
- wanna – want to
- gonna – going to
- y'all – you all
- go nuts – go insane or be very angry
- look blue -look sad
- buzz off – go away
Examples of Colloquialism in Literature
Example #1
Mark Twain in "Adventure of Huckleberry Fin" used Black American Vernacular to realistically show how the "negroes" [Black Americans] talked:
"I didn't want to go back no more. I had stopped cussing, because the widow didn't like it; but now I took to it again because pap hadn't no objections… But by-and-by pap got too handy with his hick'ry, and I could't stand it. I was all over with welts. He got to going away so much, too, and locking me in. Once he locked me in and was gone three days. It was dreadful lonesome."
The use of double negatives is evident in the above passage that is a typical characteristic of Black American Vernacular.
Example #2
John Donne uses colloquialisms in his poem "The Sun Rising":
"Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?
Saucy pedantic wretch,"
The poet addresses the sun in an informal and colloquial way as if it were a real human being. He asks the sun in a rude manner why had he appeared and spoiled the good time he was having with his beloved. Not finishing there, he commands the "saucy pedantic sun" to go away.
Example #3
We cite the use of colloquial expressions in a play "Burro Genius" by Victor Villasenor:
""I don't understand!" roared my father, putting his money back in his pocket. "Hell, I've forgotten more than you or most people will EVER UNDERSTAND!"
"Salvador," said my mother as quietly as she could, "why don't you and Mundo go outside and let me talk to this woman alone."
"Damn good idea!" said my father."
"Salvador" uses colloquial words like "Hell" and "Damn" that gives insight into his aggressive and harsh nature. The idea of using Colloquialisms is to put in diversity into the characters.
Example #4
Yet another instance of colloquialism can be seen in "Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck:
"Sure I will, George. I won't say a word."
"Don't let him pull you in—but—if the son-of-a-bitch socks you—let 'im have it."
"Never mind, never mind. I'll tell you when. I hate that kind of guy. Look, Lennie, if you get in any kind of trouble, you remember what I told you to do?"
Lennie raised up on his elbow. His face contorted with thought. Then his eyes moved sadly to George's face. "If I get in any trouble, you ain't gonna let me tend the rabbits."
In the above example, the writer shows how vulgar colloquial expressions can be depending upon who uses them and when they use them. The above colloquial expressions are realistic enough as they are uttered by middle aged men of a working class who are not well educated and refined.
Function of Colloquialism
Colloquial expressions, in a piece of literature, may give us deep insights into the writer's society. They tell us about how people really talk in their real life. Therefore, they help a writer to form strong connections with readers. Colloquial expressions impart a sense of realism to a piece of literature which again attracts readers as they identify it with their real life.
Moreover, they add variety to the characters which makes them more interesting and memorable.

With training camp a little over a month away most of the New York Knicks are spending their time preparing for new head coach Mike D'antoni and his "seven seconds or less" offense. Several members of the Knicks have already reached their goals.
Quentin Richardson is now 15 pounds lighter then he was at the end of last season. Stephon Marbury is said to be in great shape. Jared Jeffries, Mardy Collins, Chris Duhon, and David Lee have all worked very hard all summer long. It can be assumed that Jamal Crawford and Nate Robinson will be ready to go. Conditioning has never been a problem for either one of them. Heck, even Zach Randolph has lost some weight and claims he will be ready for the new uptempo style.
However, a source from Chicago has informed us that Eddy Curry does not appear to be in better shape. I was told by an anonymous source that he has not been going to the gym enough and he needs to lay off the fast food. The source is believed to be creditable. Curry has been hosting house parties where several beautiful women have been seen entering his Chicago home.
If what the source has told us is true how long will Curry last with D'antoni and his uptempo style of play? The only conclusion that I can draw is that Eddy Curry plans on being a role player which sums up his career of under achieveing.

Weeknote 561
August 22nd to 29th
To be honest, I don't know much of what happened around me this week, so this note is probably very self-centered.
Directly upon my return from Malmö, I dived into a project that was mainly done during my absence. Florie, who also just returned from her holidays, and I had to give a presentation on Wednesday. On Monday morning it was all too much… I didn't see ourselves explaining our work with all the confidence and conviction necessary. But after two long days of hard work in Keynote and in my mind, we had something I was comfortable with. I felt really good talking about what we did. The presentation went fine, but there was no time to rest: for the remainder of the week I joined David and Sean for Puichon.

I'm creating a sample library for halion and need a few vocal samples, simple ooh's and aahs with real vibrato. If anyone can help me out, that would be great. You must be okay with a commercial use though. It will be a small libary. At most, I expect to make 700 hundreds dollars of it. A few patches will use the vocal samples.
I could also use some sustained cello and other stringed instruments as well.
OK, as for classical instruments, try this link:
British Philharmonia instrument samples
And, regarding vocal samples, some of them can be found here:
free vocal sample pack
I know it is not much, but I guess we all need to start from somewhere, don't we? All the mentioned samples are either under CC license, or Royalty-free, similar to CC.
For more research I'd suggest you registering at KVR Audio and looking here.

I contacted this company after my last bike was stolen and I was looking for a replacement.
Not only are the prices including delivery and the most competitive on the market I explained that my previous bike had been stolen and I would like a replacement within five days for a particular day. My new bike arrived in three.
It was great that my order was acknowledged and processed straight away and I would definately recommend this company to my friends.

Against all my expectations in trying it, this product is 100% effective. I take 2-3 pills with each substantial meal and I have lost over 20 lbs. I can eat more calories and fat and still remain at a stable weight. I'm very cynical and scientific about supplements, assuming that they're bunk and a waste of money, but I researched the logic behind CLA as a chemical and decided to try it. I'm completely convinced that it's safe and sustainable in its effects. I intend to keep using it indefinitely to maintain the significant weight loss and energy results it provides. Recommended!

Drinks giant Coca-Cola has announced it is to fund pioneering research into consumer behaviour for recycling, greenwisebusiness.co.uk reports.
The manufacturer has long sought to reduce its own carbon footprint, having recently imposed a target on itself to reduce carbon emissions a third by 2010. It has since reduced the volume of water needed to make each litre of its products and cut the carbon footprint for the UK alone by 11 per cent.
Coca-Cola's latest step in achieving its goal will include researching consumer behaviour where recycling is concerned. It is hoped that the results of this unique and in-depth study will offer all businesses more information to help ensure their packages and materials end up in recycling bins after use.
Entitled 'Recycle for the Future', the study will be undertaken alongside researchers from the University of Exeter. It will see a total of 20 households measured to ascertain their recycling habits and get behind the reasons for each decision. The test group will be made up of 10 households in London and a further 10 in Normandy, France.
Coca-Cola announced that it is researching the issue in such depths in a bid to get into the "black box" of the household to see what exactly is prompting the decisions on whether or not to recycle.
Commenting on the study, director of sustainability at Coca-Cola, Joe Franses, told recyclinginternational.com: "Recycle for the Future is groundbreaking research for us.
"Across our business we put onto the marketplace 12 billion bottles and cans every single week. But when you look at the value chain, packaging accounts for 48 per cent of the carbon footprint of the drink in your hand, so reducing the carbon footprint of that bottle through the simple act of recycling is absolutely fundamental to bringing that carbon footprint down."

Interested in a computer science degree? This book list is a great one to consider reading before embarking on that degree, but it seems to be missing a few things to really be a substitute for a degree:
1. Intellectual curiousity
2. Persistence
3. Fairly high cognitive ability during periods of prolonged stress
4. Time spent programming
Anyone working on your degree or just finish one? Please let us know what you think. What would you add to either list?

Almost two in three SMEs support a simpler Fair Work Act, new research has revealed.
The latest MYOB SME Snapshot survey quizzed more than 500 of the accounting software provider's SME clients in an attempt to gauge their opinion concerning SME-centric issues.
MYOB chief executive Tim Reed said that with 122 federal awards, the Fair Work Act is unnecessarily complicated.
"SME operators want to do the right thing by their people, but keeping track of all the details across multiple awards can be tough. From speaking to our clients, we know it can be a real barrier to hiring new staff," he said.
"SMEs want to do the right thing but are worried about getting it wrong under a complex system. We're all for government moving ahead on a simpler Fair Work Act, and it's great to see this on the agenda of new Small Business Ombudsman, Kate Carnell."
With recent debate regarding GST reform dying down over recent weeks, the survey found that 52 per cent of SMEs opposed an increase to the GST, with 35 per cent indicating that they would be concerned that customers would spend less as a result.
"With the prime minister now taking a GST change off the cards, we'd encourage government to now take some simple steps to reduce the GST compliance burden on small business," Mr Reed said.
"In an environment that's all about boosting productivity and innovation, reducing the $13.7 billion that SMEs spend complying with GST and giving them back the 84 hours a year that SMEs spend on average collecting tax for the Australian government will free them up to grow their businesses and be more successful."

Why we blocked comments on a story today
Tragedy struck the McCarthy family yesterday, with the death of Dr. Owen McCarthy. They are well-known in this community, and have contributed much over the years. His prominence led us to assign columnist Vin Mannix to write a feature obituary, paying heed to Dr. McCarthy and his service to the community.
But there was a disgusting lack of respect among the comments – so inappropriate and hateful, especially on an obituary. The only good thing that came from this: Many of our readers e-mailed or called me, asking that we remove the comments. Thank you for helping police the website. We rely on you for this, and are reassured that you care enough to flag the offending remarks.
We also have provided a Legacy link for those of you with thoughtful notes to the family.
8 comments:
I know that newspapers have to do all they can these days to stay above water, and story comments on the website help to drive traffic and repeat traffic, but it's symptomatic of the internet as a whole - the commenters, hiding behind witty attempts at user names, use the anonymity as a license to get in touch with their inner idiots. Commenting should promote thoughtful discourse, but it's not happening here or most anywhere else. The reality is that it lowers the perception of the newspaper, and highlights the idiocy of many in our "community."
- January 20, 2010 at 11:34 PM
I applaud the editor for deleting the inappropriate comments. The McCarthy family should be shown respect at a time like this. Hopefully in the weeks to come they may find peace.
- January 21, 2010 at 9:53 AM
Since you have censored the comments, hard to tell what was so bad about what was posted.
I can only assume some people mentioned that he, and his wife, were involved in Medicare fraud in the past.
It is funny how a newspaper like yours is free to voice your opinion, but when it comes to free speech, you censor your readers.
This went on for years when George Bush was president. People said some hateful things about President Bush and you NEVER censored them.
- January 21, 2010 at 10:02 AM
I just wanted to know why the comments were censored.
Is it because the late Dr. was practicing Medicare fraud?
It is funny how this paper has allowed many negative comments in the past, but protects this Dr.
You would think it was an abortion doctor the way this liberal newspaper has protected anything negative to be said about him and his felon wife, who was in charge of cheating the taxpayers out of hundreds of thousands of dollars of medicare monies.
He was a corrupt man and so is his wife.

I was one of the readers who reported abuse about the comments being made. They were vulgar and abusive. Just as the FCC would monitor inappropriate content, the Bradenton Herald was obligated to do the same. It had nothing to do with censorship or free speech.
Dr. McCarthy treated my elderly mother for a broken shoulder and she received excellent care. He was one of the few physicians left who truly had the "country doctor" bedside manner.
When Dr. McCarthy faced his legal issues the Bradenton Herald did not "protect" him in their reporting. They stated the facts as they knew them and certainly did not sugar coat anything. By the same token, the paper recognized in his passing that his good deeds, as well as those of his family far surpassed any purported wrong doings.
It is unfortunate that the positive comments, and there were many, had to be removed because of the actions of one person. But this person's comments were intended to be hurtful, malicious and threatening.
We all have the right of free speech. None of us has the right to menace.
- January 22, 2010 at 8:23 PM
I am a regular commenter. I look at it like a regular letter to the editor. I really disagree with your politically correct posture of not properly identifying criminals. I feel that the community needs to know who is committing crimes. Now on the the McCarthy tragedy. You made the right call on deleting comments. Some people can be so hatful. The survivors dont need to see those. For once we agree...

"Dear Anonymous",
It was an obituary, not a breaking expose. Would you want your past mistakes or misdeeds (and we all have them) slathered across the comments of your death notice while your family grieves for you?
You give the impression you think you were doing some sort of public service by letting the Mr. Mannix's readers know about this departed soul's supposed "criminal misdeeds". Since it was already publicly documented at the time, you did no such service.
Instead you found a way to cowardly hurt his family and make yourself feel important. Small children do this to each other when they need to feel better about themselves. Grow up.
- January 26, 2010 at 8:32 PM
He recently did some work on my knee. He really did have a great bedside manner and had no problems pulling up a chair and answer every and all my questions. I would have recommended him to anyone. He did seem to shake a bit, I wonder if he had Parkinson's or some other illness that might have made him unsure of his own health? Still a shame that other people won't have the chance to be treated by him.

Study Shows Growing Divide in Life Expectancy for Jews, Arabs
Central Bureau of Statistics annual report puts population at 6,990,700; 75% of Israelis are Jewish, 20% are Arab.
The Central Bureau of Statistics annual report on the Israeli population, issued Tuesday, shows a widening gap between the life expectancies of Jews and Arabs in Israel.
The life expectancy of an Arab male in 2005 was 3.1 years shorter than that of a Jewish male, as opposed to a two-year difference in 1999.
The difference between the life expectancies for Jewish and Arab females in Israel has risen from 3.1 years to 3.6 years since 1999. The average life expectancy in Israel in 2005 was 82.4 years for women and 78.3 years for men.
The report also shows that during the 2002-3 school year, Hebrew was taught in 97 percent of Arab schools, but only 9 percent of Jewish schools taught Arabic. Dance classes were available in 30 percent of the Jewish schools, as opposed to 4 percent of the Arab schools.
Theater studies are taught in 30 percent of Jewish schools, and only in 3.5 percent of Arab schools. However, communications classes are available in only 20 percent of Jewish schools, as opposed to 36 percent of Arab schools. In the fields of music and art there were no major differences between the two.
By the end of 2005, Israel had a population of 6,990,700 people. Of that number, 5,313,800 people are Jewish (75 percent), 377,100 are Arab (19.7 percent), and 299,800 people are described as "other," most of them relatives of Jewish immigrants to Israel.
The rate of population growth in 2005 was relatively low, standing at 1.8 percent, and consistent with the previous two years.
This rate of growth was characteristic in Israel in the 80s, a decade that saw little immigration.
The rate of growth among the Jewish population stood at 1.5 percent in 2005, while the rate of growth among the Muslim population was 3 percent. The rate of growth for the Druze population was 1.9 percent and 1.4 percent for the Christian population.
In 2005, a total of 143,913 babies were born in Israel, 70 percent of them to Jewish mothers, and 24 percent to Muslim mothers.
The report also shows that the birth rate among Druze population has dropped dramatically. In 1991, Druze women gave birth to an average of 4.1 children each, and in 2005 the average fell to 2.6 children per woman.
The average number of children for Muslim women dropped from 4.7 to 4, and among Christian women the number fell from 2.7 to 2.2. In the Jewish population, the average remained at 2.7 children per woman.

1) There is a very good chance that the winner of the mayor's race will be rejected by half the voters and a good chance that the winner will be rejected by six out of 10 voters.
2) Things could be worse, and maybe they have been. In 1971, 1975, and 1979, a charismatic mayoral candidate given to fits of ego, arrogance, candor, and foibles in his bachelor lifestyle rallied his political base while writing off the "other" racial group and won a narrow victory. His name was Wyeth Chandler, and he was mayor from 1972 to 1982. The Peabody was closed. Downtown was emptying out. The Martin Luther King Jr. assassination was a recent memory, not a chapter in the history books. Firemen went on strike as buildings burned. Chandler got almost all the white vote and almost none of the black vote.
3) Willie Herenton increasingly refers to himself in the third person. This is not a good thing in Memphis or any other city.
4) Herenton has seemingly written off many of his former supporters, although his special assistant, Pete Aviotti, thinks he will get 65 percent of the vote. When Chandler hunkered down with his white base in 1975 and 1979, black Memphians, who were then slightly in the minority, said it was tragic. If Herenton gets almost none of the white vote after serving 16 years, it will be no less tragic today.
5) Herman Morris is Republican retro, from his supporters, who include John Ryder, Minerva Johnican, and Lewis Donelson, to his big house in Midtown, which was lit up like Christmas while his neighbors were still in the dark after Hurricane Elvis (luck of the grid, it was said) to his membership on corporate boards that pay more for meetings than most people earn.
6) It is well and good that Morris, who grew up in Binghamton, went to Rhodes and Vanderbilt Law School and has a very nice family. But it is telling that, until he was a candidate for mayor, he did not often attend neighborhood meetings in either his current or former neighborhoods of Evergreen and Vollintine-Evergreen.
7) If there was a public institution less open to scrutiny than MLGW under Morris (and Herenton, who appointed the board), it would be hard to name it. The place was a fortress. Its board made a mockery of open meetings by going into executive session in the morning and a perfunctory public session after lunch. Sure, the notorious Morris VIP list included Mom and some corporate chiefs. But it also included Morris pals at The Commercial Appeal, which conveniently low-balled the details of the retirement package Morris sought and Herenton rejected back in 2003.
8) Carol Chumney will speak truth to power, but what if she had the power? As a candidate, her favorite word often seems to be I, as in "what I did." Being mayor is about "we." An election is partly a popularity contest. In other circumstances, Chumney's distance from her council colleagues would be understandable, even admirable, given that two of them were indicted. As a mayoral candidate, it's a legitimate concern.
9) What about me? asks John Willingham. True, candidates have run on flimsier credentials, and Willingham is a former elected county commissioner with the endorsement of the local Republican Party steering committee. But when he had a one-on-one shot at an already weakened Herenton in 2003, he got about 30 percent of the vote. Only in college football do you expect a rematch after losing 70-30.
10) Chumney and Morris have a better chance than Willingham, but he won't support either of them. Enough said.

Samsung and Apple again meeting to negotiate settlement
Apple and Samsung have had a very interesting relationship over the past few years. One has sued another, and the other has sued the other back, over and over again, lawsuit after lawsuit. Well, according to the Wall Street Journal, the two companies got very close to a settlement in February, but nothing ever came of it. However, it seems that they are back at it again, trying to come to some sort of agreement that could, hopefully, end these seemingly never-ending law suits that are all over the place. Apparently what Samsung wants is a cross-licensing deal:
In the negotiations, described sparingly in heavily redacted documents from the U.S. International Trade Commission made public earlier this month and by people familiar with them, Samsung has pushed for a broad patent cross-licensing deal that could settle all outstanding litigation between the companies. It is unclear whether Apple was interested in such a deal.
There was talks of Apple offering this long ago, but Samsung thinking that the price was too high. However, it sounds like that might be the same thing happening here but the other way around. Hopefully these companies can figure something out, because the lawsuits are beginning to grow old (well, actually they have been for a while now). Keep an eye out for anything that could possible spawn from this.
What do you think? Wonder if the two can negotiate? What do you think will happen? Let us know in the comments, or tweet me @TiP_Kyle.

workout/routine to lose fat?
I'm tryingb to find the best workout to lose fat fast. I'm about 175lbs and about 14-16% body fat. I really want to get down to sub 9%. I've read alot about HIIT and low intensity. I try to do HIIT every morning. and low intensity about 3 or 4 days a week along with that. When i do HIIT i do it in the AM and its about 15 minutes on the bike. Do you think that running sprints may be more beneficial to me then stationary bike?
If you are doing HIIT 7 days a week PLUS some sort of low intensity cardio 3-4 times on top of that I would say you are overdoing the cardio. I would cut back the HIIT to 3-4 sessions MAX. You are running the risk of losing alot of muscle mass by hitting the cardio so hard. Just remember, it is alot easier to lose fat than it is to put on muscle so you really want to be careful.
thanx sleazy i'll definately keep that in mind and adjust accordingly..im thinking i'll do hiit on the days i dont train with my team ( so that'd be 4 sessions)
actually sleazy i had one more question foryou...how often do u recomend working abs?

Capital Intelligence assigns Saudi banking sector A- and A2 ratings
Emerging markets rating agency Capital Intelligence has assigned Saudi Arabian banks a sovereign rating of A- long-term and A2 short-term for full year 2001. The rating is based on audited accounts, taking interim financial statements into consideration.
Saudi Arabia conducts a highly effective regulatory and supervisory system of its banking sector, which consists of ten commercial banks, as well as numerous specialized banks, foreign branches, and other supervised institutions.
Like its economy, Saudi Arabia's banking sector is the largest in the Gulf. It is characterized by an asset quality which is very good by the standards of emerging markets and reasonable by almost any standard. Coverage of non-performing loans reached 104 percent at the end of 2001, with six of nine Saudi banks reporting coverage in excess of 100 percent.
Saudi banks are among the best capitalized in the developing world. All of the banks are in compliance with the Saudi Arab Monetary Agency (SAMA)'s eight percent risk asset ratio requirement, and most banks report ratios in the range of 19 percent, with a high of 25 percent. Liquidity in the sector is excellent, as Saudi banks benefit from a high level of non-interest bearing deposits.
Recognizing the volatility of those deposits, most banks maintain a similar portion of assets in safe and liquid government securities, allowing time deposits and capital to be deployed in a loan portfolio which tends to be short to medium-term. Despite a dependence on interest income, the profit picture at most banks is good and continually improving, notwithstanding a lack of growth in net loans in recent years.
Improvement in interest differentials and a downward trend in the system's cost ratio have both been major factors in producing robust ratios of return on average assets for almost every bank in the sector. Most banks are showing improvement at one or more levels of the income statement, which will ultimately produce higher profitability. — (menareport.com)

Kamal Haasan fans rush to Kerala theatres to watch film
Coimbatore, Jan 25 (PTI) Disappointed over the ban on the film Vishwaroopam in Tamil Nadu, fans of actor-director Kamal Hassan in the region have rushed to nearby Kerala, where the film was running to packed houses. The fans from the city had left by the available mode of transports to Palakkad, Velanthavalam and Shoranur to see the filmm police said. Some early birds got the opportunity to see the movie in Palakkad, 50 Kms from here in the morning, after which the screening was reportedly stopped following objection by a section of people, police said. However, they rushed to Velanthavalam, about 30 Kms from here, to watch the movie. PTI NVM RC
