We use it daily to help our clients successfully complete their projects by identifying the specialized skill sets that our clients need immediately. By taking advantage of our stringent technical evaluation process, our clients can be assured that we are introducing them to the top consultants in the industry.
Big data roles demand a high degree of quantitative and technical expertise (particularly, data science and big data technology), reality is that the requisite skill sets are difficult to cultivate and only possessed by a limited supply of highly-sought people. The supply of talent is growing, though demand is growing at an even faster pace.
Don't put your Big Data project on hold until you find the perfect person to fill the opening in your organization. Use one of our consultants to get the project off the ground. Often times you can hire a slightly junior individual after the heavy lifting has been done by a blueStone consultant.
Companies increasingly rely on data insights to understand and predict customer behavior. Between customer loyalty programs as well as other internal and external data sources, companies have more access to data than ever before. But what does it all mean?
blueStone Staffing's Mobile group specializes in the recruitment of development, QA and mobile technology experts on a contract and contract-to-hire basis. With an impressive track record, our consultants provide the in-depth knowledge and personal touch of a boutique, married with the resources and reach of one of the most respected brands in the staffing industry.
We are preferred mobile development partners to numerous key players in the mobile development space and have been deeply involved in the mobile OS ecosystem since our early days of operation.
When staffing for contract mobile app development resources, our consultants understand the complexities of this dynamic and versatile marketplace completely, and have witnessed the OS dominance shift from Symbian through to Android and iOS!
With over 122,000 open Cyber Security jobs posted within the United States. Cyber Security is the hottest field today. Given the very real possibility for massive financial losses and serious legal ramifications in the event of a cyber security breach, it's no surprise that CIOs consider Cyber Security attacks a very real and serious threat. blueStone Staffing's Cyber Security group understands the challenges an organization faces today protecting themselves from internal AND external Cyber threats and attacks. The need to augment and protect your department is essential.
While some folks hate to say "been there, done that", we take pride in it. Having worked ourselves in ERP software related roles, we can better understand your SAP jobs, Oracle jobs or any other ERP jobs around.

WASHINGTON — The Army is putting the finishing touches on a bold new strategy for how it pre-positions stocks of critical equipment around the globe, how it uses those stocks to speed deployments — and who pays for it.
Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno ordered the revised strategy last year as part of his vision to make the service more capable of deploying quickly to meet threats, and assist in humanitarian and disaster relief missions.
And a key element of the plan is to pass off some of the cost of using and resetting the equipment to the combatant commanders.

This European Standard specifies the requirements and the relevant tests for automatically controlled sterilizers employing ethylene oxide (EO) gas as the sterilant, either as a pure gas or a mixture with other gases, being used for the sterilization of medical devices and their accessories. These sterilizers are primarily used for the sterilization of heat labile medical devices. This European Standard specifies requirements for ethylene oxide sterilizers (EO-sterilizers) working at super or sub atmospheric pressure for: - the performance and design of sterilizers to ensure that the process is capable of sterilizing medical devices; - the equipment and controls of these sterilizers necessary for the validation and routine control of the sterilization processes. This standard applies when the sterilizer manufacturer declares compliance with EN 1422 as a means of conformity assessment to the essential requirements of the MDD when intending to supply an EO sterilizer. The test loads described in this European Standard are selected to represent a number of loads for the evaluation of the performance of EO sterilizers for medical devices. However, specific loads may require the use of other test loads. This European standard does not specify those tests which are necessary to determine the probability of a processed product being sterile, nor the routine quality control tests required prior to release of sterile product. These topics are addressed in prEN ISO 11135. This European standard does not specify requirements for occupational safety associated with the design and operation of EO sterilization facilities.

A rich pallet of folk and singer/songwriter with a hint of country and a dash of Celtic music – all the ingredients of a Canadian Kitchen Party!
Paragraph Description:
Blending brave and honest songwriting, first-rate musicianship, and a huge helping of native Canadian wit, Nancy Beaudette is an artist of songs and heart. She was raised near Cornwall, Ontario, a place sustained by farming and millwork where French and English languages were friendly neighbours. Her songwriting delves into those roots, weaving a nostalgic past into lush songs of familial history, good-humored folly and poignant observations of life and loss. Nancy's 2015 release of "South Branch Road", her 8th CD, was received with critical acclaim, adding to the numerous accolades accrued through the years. In 1997 Nancy won a CGMA for song of the year (Canadian Gospel Music Award – highest honor for gospel music in Canada), and has been a Winner or Finalist in some of the industries most distinguished competitions, including Mountain Stage New Song Competition, Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, Great American Song Contest, and the Independent Music Awards. On-stage and off, this beloved songwriter practices hometown hospitality. Come to one of Nancy's shows and you will experience first-hand all the warmth and welcome of a Canadian kitchen party!
Nancy's Extended Bio here
Quotes from the press:
"What I love about Beaudette's work is how many layers there are to each track…And her prose evokes a type of energy and emotion that only few musicians are capable of arousing." – Alec Cunningham, Journalist, Knoxville, TN
"Beaudette is the type of artist who is likely to be compared to Mitchell, Baez or Judy Collins…[these] songs would have worked on an album by Mary Chapin Carpenter or Tricia Yearwood." – Alex Henderson, Journalist, Political Reporter, Cultural Critic
"Possessed of a gift for insightful songwriting, Beaudette consistently weaves tales with common threads that, when combined together, create a beautiful tapestry that she uses to tell tales of love, loss, and life lived to the fullest." – Andrew Greenhalgh Thirty Three & A Third Record Reviews
"The songwriting and vocals mirrors the creativeness of Shawn Colvin…Nancy Beaudette [has] a knack for creating intelligent stories, catchy choruses, and highly-textured instrumentation." – Matthew Forss Inside World Music
"Beaudette is already a bright bulb on the independent music scene but the release of South Branch Road demands that light shine even brighter. I can't even remember the last time I enjoyed an album this much. It's beyond extraordinary!" – Jonathan Pappalardo My Kind of Country

2009 Grammy Performers
What Grammy Performance Are You Looking Forward to Most?
Wow, a ton of people are going to be performing at the Grammys this year! The list — expected to add up to a record number of performances — goes on and on, full of exciting names like M.I.A. (well, provided she's not giving birth) and Radiohead (who have never appeared on the Grammys before now). There are also some intriguing collaborations, including Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift singing Swift's adorable song "Fifteen." In contrast to the young'ns, some veteran musicians will also be taking the stage, including U2 and Stevie Wonder.
Here's a complete list of who's singing what, though there could still be plenty of surprises thrown into the mix. Take a look and then tell me: Whose performance are you looking forward to most?

anyone know how to replace the blower resistor?
I have a 2005 grand cherokee laredo and the ac only works when the fan is set to high. the guys at the dealership said it was most likley the "blower resistor" does anyone know how to get to the thing? could there be more problems? this thing is killing my gas millage.
The link Rob posted is mostly accurate with the exception of Step 2 to Step 4.
Don't do the outboard side first and don't use a screwdriver to pry the door off its mount. You're likely to damage the mounting tab or the trim that way and it's totally unnecessary.
At the top of the door are two stops. There's a convenient fingerhold for each of them. Pull the stops down to clear the dash panel and open the door past the stops. Continue swinging it down as far as you can, then yank the door off the hinges, inboard (left) side first. No tools, no fuss, no risk of mars.

Why do you not run Grand Abolisher s?
June 16, 2012 7:38 a.m.
They are weak, very situational and more of a control or sideboard card than anything else. Grand Abolisher is wasted against most decks and is just a waste of 2-4 slots in a base 60 agro deck.
June 16, 2012 8:06 a.m.
Ah, okay, I've started noticing that in my own deck, and with Cavern of Souls your creatures aren't going to be countered anyway.
June 16, 2012 6:38 p.m.
It's good verse some burn and control players that like to screw with you during your turn and it means you can Oblivion Ring their Shrine of Burning Rage before it triggers etc but in general I don't side board it.
June 16, 2012 11:20 p.m.
Have you considered Gideon Jura instead of Elspeth Tirel ?
June 17, 2012 12:28 a.m.
I have a few times and might try it. To be honest I don't sideboard planeswalkers in that often which may be a mistake on my part. I have a playset of gideons so I might play around with it and see where it gets me. :)
June 17, 2012 11:53 a.m.
deadsightsx says... #15
awesome deck, humans are some of my favorite creatures this block, but i agree, o-ring is better then fiend hunter for control, especially because fiend hunter can only exile creature. only time fiend hunter is ever good is if trying really hard to go for an infinite combo, or if u boost him up, but boosting him takes away from the other creatures ur boosting, or giving him some protection, otherwise he quite easy to tackle. since ur playing more aggro i really cant see much else u can add :)
June 18, 2012 4:46 p.m.
EXCELLENT BUILD, i really love it! It has a unique feel too it, fun to playtest, and playtest against, and you are probably the only person with a great sideboard on this site!
June 18, 2012 9:05 p.m.

June 18, 2012 9:06 p.m.
i suggest trying to make one with no swords, seeing as they cycle out soon.
June 18, 2012 11:59 p.m.
MemniteShyamalan says... #19
If your biggest problem is getting locked down by control I would strongly recommend side boarding Grand Abolisher . Just a suggestion, but I think it could save you from losing to control, and at the very least, would be pretty damn useful.
June 19, 2012 midnight
@Kinder5 Most of the deck rotates out soon so there is no point. When the blocks change I will make a new deck but at that stage I loose...
So making one without the sword would be pointless at this point.
@MemniteShyamalan I've tried abolishers and they are good but honestly they are a waste in the sideboard currently in my mind. They may go into the side board after rotation but Cavern of Souls , Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and card:Grafdigger's Cage give me enough against the control that I verse at FNM. I'm not downplaying the viability of the card, simply it's viability for me currently.
June 19, 2012 3:32 a.m.
MagnaLynx21 says... #21
Unless your meta demands it, 4x Riders of Gavony seems a bit overkill.Also, give Nearheath Pilgrim a try over Timely Reinforcements . In my testing with him in White Weenie decks, he's just as good, especially when strapped to a Mirran Crusader or a growing Champion of the Parish .
Take a look at Mr. Pilgrim in one of my variants (deck:boros-guild-innistrad-mirrodin-division) and you will notice that against a variety of aggro match ups gives you such a boost at staying ahead in the race, which is often key.
June 19, 2012 7:57 a.m.
I'm surprised everyone else's meta doesn't need them to be honest. The amount of human, spirit, myr, wurmcoil reanimation , vampire and zombie decks around atm is astonishing. Naming any of these shuts down the respective decks.
Never thought about Nearheath Pilgrim but I think I'll stick to my guns until the sets change over in october, it's serving me very well as it is. Nearheath Pilgrim isn't going to save me verse hardcore burn but Timely Reinforcements is.
June 21, 2012 2:43 p.m.
You'd be amazed just how much my meta was seven shades of Delver or Spirits or Zombies. Nothing else. Like the deck a lot. Nice work!

card:Conjurer's Closet to boost the Champion of the Parish
June 23, 2012 5:28 a.m.
@Dritz Thanks man. :D
@fadelightningmm Um... Yes card:Conjurer's Closet does indeed pump Champion of the Parish ... that doesn't mean it should be included in the deck. It's a very specific, very expensive card (for the curve in this deck) that will be useless 99% of the time. Make a case for it over the cards already included?
June 23, 2012 11:09 a.m.
Smite the Monstrous for praetors or titans, Revoke Existence for wurmcoil!

Mykethecorpsman says... #31
I like this deck it has good synergy but that fact its mono colored is off putting cause u loose out on some benefits of other colors. With Champion of the Parish u could use Thatcher Revolt or Increasing Devotion and he will be powerful. or green with Champion of Lambholt and all those awsome green miracle cards that boost.
June 25, 2012 1:27 a.m.
There is a trend in magic atm that complicated is better. It's not true. Mono white is incredibly strong in this block.
Complicated is complicated.
Better is better.
They do not always overlap.
June 25, 2012 1:42 a.m.
Still love your deck, bud. It's just concise, and vicious. My White/Black deck can't quite hang with it. The only silver lining is that I tried to design it with the format change in mind (I only recently picked up playing again after a hiatus since the original Mirrodin block).
June 25, 2012 3:59 a.m.
Addendum: Maybe it can? I did a play test where the first few turns were virtually identical between the decks (T1: Champion, T2: Champion, T3: Gather the Townsfolk, T4: Champion...). Afterwards my deck just shined at what it did best... and dropped a Terminus somewhere in there :P. I think all in all, your deck is more consistent, and poses a faster kill... but I have enough creature control in my deck to feel at least semi-safe a majority of the time.
Have you peeked at the M13 spoiler yet? Or in general, have you thought of an idea for a new deck after this one phases out?
June 25, 2012 11:44 a.m.
StarScream says... #36
Wow. that is all I have to say is wow, good job. It would be a huge pain to vs this deck.:)
Just started my lifesteal and lifegain deck, check it out, maybe drop a suggestion.
June 27, 2012 3:40 p.m.
Weston Ayarza says... #37
easiest thing your opponent can do to shut this down is creature control. Orings and basically every removal that isn't black or green. ;D So I'd consider some card:Faith's Shields or maybe a 1 of. if anything it's just nice to have a pro from the only colored blocker on their field, but it's a very versatile 1 drop. Situational, but situational against what a weenie deck loses to. Just an idea.
June 27, 2012 8:57 p.m.
There's enough creatures to deal with it. Faith's shield is just going to use up spots and won't make a different. You can't put in every single counter card just because wizards prints them or you end up with 2 creatures and a bladed bracer + 37 "WHAT IF HE USES THIS!?" cards. It's agro, win strategy with agro is to kill hard or go home, not to outlast or out maneuver.
June 28, 2012 11:44 p.m.
I know it's not fast, but have you considered or tested card:Cathars' Crusade? It's probably shit in this deck, but it never hurts to try. :D
June 30, 2012 2:40 p.m.
great deck could you help me improve mine, at Rascal125 it is my mono white humans, im trying to keep things in innistrad, Dark Ascension, Avacyn Restored, and things that are coming back from m12

nice awesome job! i used to run a mono white deck but changed to red/white for avacyn then changed it to a naya deck idk if you could help but if you look it would be nice =)

I'm stuck here trying to find some suggestion or improvement to make me sound smart... I'm having difficulty. Silly idea that won't work but splash green for autumn's veil? Yea I know it's silly. This really does fit the bill of amazing white weenie. Only thing I could possibly think of is accorder paladin for a human battle cry with tokens. It also schleps fill a small creature 2 mana slot.

Wow... just wow...
...It's a standard deck... It says it's a standard deck... you really shouldn't be giving advice.

Don't give a "Suggestion" just for the sake of it. If you can substantiate your comment with anything more than "My friend runs this so you're doing it wrong", then just give it a +1 and move on.
July 3, 2012 10:42 a.m.
If the manabase can support a green splash for Gavony Township , it is a strong late game card for such an aggressive deck (if it gets to a late game). Township is an uncounterable engine to keep the deck becoming more powerful if your opponent has actually developed board presence and didn't die early on.
+1 for such a well thought out deck, and I'm sorry if you've already heard that suggestion before.

Ever thought of bumping out Sword of War and Peace and replacing it with another Silver-Inlaid Dagger and Spirit Mantle ? It seems like the sword would be cast, and then you'd have to wait another turn before it can be equipped, thus giving your opponent a turn to react. The other two can be both be dropped and enchanted/equipped for the same mana that it would take to cast the sword. Normally I'd choose a mythic equipment that performs so very well over an uncommon one, but in this case your deck is so focused on rushing in damage with Silverblade Paladin or Mirran Crusader that I can't see the sword helping with your attack-before-my-opponent-knows-what-happened plan.

While I agree with MrJacob, it might not change things all that much, since pretty much by turn five they're dead on board if they don't play a day on turn four. But, it's definitely something to think about post-rotation.

It's simply amazing, I've used it a bit differently but it is to good to lose; Even against a heavy removal deck I've still won by turn 4
July 12, 2012 7:43 p.m.
This is one of those decks that I would love to own, its just they come with a hefty price tag of $250...Is there any deck out there which has the same purpose as this, but maybe not with the $250? I know its probably very unlikely though.Thanks

MrJacobobobobobo says... #55
@ Rapeydom: If you take out the 4 Cavern of Souls the deck loses $100 off it's value. If you cut the two Sword of War and Peace s as well and do what I said with one more dagger and aura, then the deck costs a little over $100 to make. Sound more reasonable?
July 14, 2012 8:45 p.m.
MrJacobobobobobo that does seem a little nicer, but what would you replace the cavern of souls with?
July 15, 2012 7:52 a.m.
Just plains, this deck will be updated when I finish tweaking my m13 version. So if you wait that long then you'll run cathedrals.
July 15, 2012 8:35 p.m.
...oh, how I shit my pants realizing that all my decks except mono -green and mono - black infect can't touch this deck... even my modern tokens failed a playtest.
Scary thought: I tested this vs. Reanimator in Legacy. Though close, 2/0 record for this deck. Props to you. +1
Additional comment: I am going to find a deck in standard that can consistently beat this soon. I'll comment w/ more details.

White humans/tokens are becoming very popular in my shop. My zombie deck can keep up with them but it is always a tough match to win. This looks like one of those decks, I guess i have to start boarding in more black sun's zeniths

Question: What's going to happen to the deck when Scars rotates out? It's so efficient right now... since I won't be able to really do any serious playing, I'm trying to plan as many different directions out as I can. And this deck is positively dynamite!
July 23, 2012 1:02 a.m.
I have to see what is coming in from the ravnica block before deciding on a rotation combo. I've tried to convert it to a black/white exalted deck but it just ramps too slowly. Atm all my time is going into the designs for a green/white human tournament deck for serious competition.
July 23, 2012 1:05 p.m.
Ah, right on! I was just talking to a buddy of mine, saying that after Birds and Llanowars both phase out, I see card:Avacyn's Pilgrim being a common thing, and Green/White decks becoming commonplace.

sideboarded angel of jubilation for ..... ?
August 4, 2012 8:47 a.m.
The reason for Angel of Jubilation is already listed in the deck explanation. This is my FNM deck which works for the meta I play against. All sideboards and even small deck changes are available depending on the meta. TBH I'm kinda done with this deck now and will bench it soon. The current deck competition deck I'm making that is more inline with the current meta is deck:alus-synergy-v2-tournament-edition.

FACT I playtested my PTQ deck against mostly just this deck lol. SO DEADLY

Some POSSE members steer away from bibs for fear of overheating and the occasionally constrictive fit. However, one leg into the Patagonia Powslayer bib and we were sold. Because Patagonia takes into account a skier girl's assets and the fact that they move a lot when they ski, this bib feels custom-tailored. When you have to dip out to go to the bathroom, the pants won't slow you down thanks to zippered vents that run from the upper waist down to the knee with a button closure at the top. Simply unbutton, unzip, and open up for immediate relief. On the men's side, a gusseted crotch panel and subtle knee articulation provide major mobility. Built in belt loops let you drop your top while hiking without dropping your bottoms, too, and the knees are articulated without making you feel like you should be squatting at all times. The Gore-Tex Pro material is waterproof, windproof, breathable, and packable to the extreme, yet because the material is so thin, it feels a bit loud when you move.
The Patagonia Powslayer pant has a great ergonomic fit built for movement with extensive venting, comfortable, and fully protected from the elements, season after season.

> Hip Dislocation
What is a Hip Dislocation?
A hip dislocation is a severe
injury in which the upper, ball–shaped portion
(head) of the thighbone (femur) is completely displaced
from the rounded socket (acetabulum) portion of the
outer pelvis where the head is normally located within
the acetabulum. In some cases, the head only partially
displaces from the acetabulum (subluxation) and returns
to its normal location within the acetabulum (reduction).
There are three major types of hip dislocations:
hip dislocations: The femoral head is forced out of
the acetabulum and rests behind the acetabulum. This
is the most common type of hip dislocation. A posterior
hip dislocation can damage the sciatic nerve, which
is a major nerve of the lower extremity located just
behind the hip joint, and is often associated with fractures
of the posterior lip of the acetabulum.
hip dislocations: The femoral head is forced out of
the acetabulum and rests in front of the acetabulum.
An anterior hip dislocation can cause damage to neurovascular
structures in front of the acetabulum.
fracture–dislocations: In some types of fractures
of the acetabulum, the femoral head displaces past the
confines of the pelvis into the lower abdomen. This
injury can also result in damage to neurovascular structures
and requires special techniques and implants to fix
Hip dislocations are an orthopedic emergency. If you
suspect you have suffered a hip dislocation, an ambulance
should be called immediately.
Hip dislocations are usually the result
of high-energy trauma, such as automobile and motorcycle
accidents and falls, in which a hard, direct blow is
delivered to the knee or hip. Athletes who take part
in contact sports, such as football, rugby, or hockey,
are also at risk. Children under six years of age, whose
bones are not fully formed, can be susceptible to hip
dislocations from less severe trauma, such as falling
while walking or doing splits.
Several other serious injuries can
be associated with, or develop as a consequence of,
a hip dislocation, despite appropriate care. These include:
to the sciatic and femoral nerves in the leg
of the acetabulum, femoral head, and upper portion of
the femur
of the femoral artery and vein, known as vascular thrombosis
muscles, ligaments, and soft–tissue structures
of the hip and thigh
to the joint surfaces of the hip
(also called avascular necrosis), a deficiency of the
blood supply to the femoral head that causes the bone
to die and collapse
arthritis. This would depend on numerous factors, such
as the amount of damage to the cartilage of the joint
surface at the time of injury, the presence of fractures
of the femoral head or acetabulum, and, potentially,
the length of time before the hip is reduced.
There are usually three parts to an
orthopedic evaluation: medical history, physical examination,
and tests your physician may order.
To help achieve an accurate diagnosis,
your physician will ask you to describe your present
problem, as well as the location, severity, and duration
of your symptoms. You will be asked when and how your
symptoms began, what aggravates and relieves your symptoms,
and any history of previous trauma or treatment. You
may also be asked about your other medical conditions,
such as diabetes and allergies, previous surgeries,
medications you are taking, and your social history
including profession, hobbies, tobacco use, alcohol
consumption, and living situation. Your physician may
also ask you about physical and athletic goals. This
information may help your physician decide what treatment
option might be best for you.
Since a hip dislocation usually is
the result of high–energy trauma, your physician
may conduct a head–to–toe (multi–system)
evaluation to look for associated injuries. In particular,
your physician will concentrate on the affected hip
and lower extremity. Your physician will look for lacerations
and bruises, weakness, and abnormal pulses, sensation,
and reflexes. The position of your hip and lower extremity
also provides your physician with valuable information
regarding the direction of your possible hip dislocation.
If your hip is extended and is rotated to the outside,
you may have an anterior dislocation. If your hip is
flexed and rotated to the inside, you may have a posterior
Your physician may use the following
to look for fractures and dislocations of the bones
and joints.
reduction of a dislocated hip, a CT scan, commonly referred
to as a CAT scan, is usually obtained to look for the
presence of bone fragments trapped within the joint
and to make sure that the head is completely reduced
within the hip socket (acetabulum). If there is a fracture
associated with the dislocation, then the CT is useful
in characterizing the nature of the fracture.

Kingdom of Horses has been around for 7+ years in various different designs of websites. In the beginning it was a hobby/personal website devoted to everything about horses. Soon a classified section and a forum was added. Neither grew very much due to far too many other horse websites doing the same thing. They were both abandoned and other facets of the horse world were covered. The website had a news section with news videos of horses in the news. Horses in history was a big favorite with lots of visitors.
In November 2012 a decision was made to change the format of the website from a stagnate website into a more dynamic blog type presence. This has the big advantage of being able to cover a small facet of the world of horses in a blog type post rather than trying to cover everything on a large page and risk it not being read. At the same time I (Janice), the editor and webmaster decided to let someone else do the daily writing of the blog posts while I took a more behind the scenes roll. When I do find the time I still write a post now and again.
One author was added right away and that was Kellie. It was her idea of changing the format of the website. About a month later, JanS came aboard with her writing style and vast hands on knowledge of horses. She is also the blog owner of All the Creatures and comes with plenty of years of blog owning experience. Both of them are personal friends that I knew from when I first became a horse owner, many years ago. I will continue to monitor the back end of the blog, handle advertising, work load and marketing.
There are no plans to add new authors or contributors in the near future.

Answering the GCSE question
"Explain, briefly, why some people are prejudiced against Jews."
Some weeks ago, I devoted this column to the above question, which was included in a GCSE paper on religious studies set recently by the Assessment & Qualifications Alliance (AQA).
I argued that the question was entirely reasonable and that I hoped the AQA would preserve the answers, which might yield valuable data on the perceived causes of anti-Jewish prejudice in this country. A reader, who did not entirely agree with these views, has challenged me to write the sort of answer an intelligent pupil sitting that GCSE paper might have offered to the question about which I wrote so approvingly. Here, therefore, is an imagined answer, as it might have been penned by - say - a media-savvy 16-year-old living in north London.
"In my opinion, some people are prejudiced against Jews because Jews are clever at exploiting the law for their own ends, using sneaky legal devices to side-step our democracy. In our English lessons we've studied Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. In this play, the Jewish moneylender Shylock is portrayed as a selfish and obstinate man who thinks a lot of himself because he sticks to the letter of the law, no matter what human misery results. Here in north London there have been some recent examples of this as reported in the local papers.
"A few years ago, there was a scandal in Hendon when a group of Jewish leaders wanted to build a girls' school in a warehouse on an industrial estate. The local council's planning committee turned down their request. The very next morning, in complete defiance of the council, they sent in the builders to convert the warehouse, which was soon operating as a school and causing traffic problems and anger among local residents.
Jews are clever at using the law for their own ends
"Then a government inspector was called in. The Jews told him that now there were more than 200 girls at the school, and that if he went against them these girls would have no school to go to. So in my view the inspector was blackmailed into agreeing that the school could stay open, even though the elected local authority had ruled against it.
"Just a few weeks ago, in another part of London, there was a similar story. There are many Jews in Hackney and they have many children. So a group of these Jews set up a school in a house. Unlike in Hendon they didn't even ask the local council whether they could do this. Other residents in the street were very annoyed - there was a lot of noise and disturbance from the 'school' and more traffic.
"So Hackney Council tried to get the school closed. But the Jews got the services of some very clever people, who convinced a government official that the 'school' should stay open, and to hell with the views of the elected local authority. Now some residents of the area are saying that the value of their properties is falling, and that they will move out. Which is probably what the Jews wanted all along, so they can buy more properties cheaply.
"I'm not prejudiced against Jews. They've suffered a lot from the Nazis. But when Jews behave as I've described you can understand why some people are prejudiced against them, can't you?"
Now, dear reader, I want to ask what mark you would give the above imagined essay. A common failing at GCSE (and also at A Level and degree level) is that the answer does not address the question set. But this is clearly not the case here. The response is narrowly focused, and is grounded almost exclusively in the candidate's admittedly parochial knowledge. But it is evidence-based, reasonably well written, and makes an argument. You could even say it was perceptive. It is clearly of "pass" standard and would probably merit a C - perhaps even a B.
To get a grade A the candidate would, I think, have had to acknowledge that Jews were not the only group to exploit the planning laws, perhaps pointing to a case or two of large corporations who had done so. But he or she might have added that they were the only group to exploit planning laws in the name of religion, and with the backing of their religious leaders.
And had this argument been deployed, it would have been only too true, wouldn't it?

CPAC: Scenes (mostly) from the PJTV set
CPAC 2011 was a bit unusual for me. I spent almost no time at the blogger's lounge, and no time at all watching speeches.

Two of Rolland's team members traveled from Dallas, TX to Mexico City last week to help train technicians in the Armor Series. Mike Brown and Fernando Rede were both very willing to travel and share their knowledge with our business partners south of the border. Mike and Fernando trained nearly 20 technicians how to operate and troubleshoot products in the Armor cash management series.
Mike says that "along with bringing the Armor knowledge, we wanted to bring the Rolland spirit." The knowledge Mike and Fernando brought not only improves the service we can provide in Mexico, but also increases the work available to the trained technicians, expanding their skillset and strengthening their career. "The technicians were great. Very eager to learn. And the Rolland team in Mexico was very hospitable." Adrianna and Jose Luis Romo, who run the Rolland in Mexico City, put on the training event.
Jose Luis Romo was quick to send his appreciation back to Dallas for the work Mike and Fernando did in training the Mexican technicians. Mike and Fernando had just as many praises for the hospitality they received from the Rolland team in Mexico. This greatly executed training seminar embodies the Rolland creed of delivering inspired service and we are proud to award Mike and Fernando the Inspired Service Award this week.

Adam lives a semi-misanthropic life beside the seaside in Northumberland in the UK. He spends most of his days in the attic and sometimes throws pebbles at passers-by. His first book, Dial M for Monkey was published in 2006 and was a cult success on both sides of the Atlantic.
The time Adam doesn't spend writing is spent building websites including his own www.adammaxwell.com where you can also see more of his short stories, flash fiction and listen to his award winning podcast.
If you keep coming back here and visiting his website he may consider a cessassion of pebble-throwing but if you wave at him he will not wave back.

on Feb. 05, 2012 :
I stumbled upon this neat little book from the author's website, after looking up "writing prompts". The author offers a Writing Prompt Generator on his website, which I quite liked. So when I saw that he also had an e-book with 500 prompts, I was quite interested.
The book is, as the title suggests, a compilation of writing prompts - 500 of them to keep you going. The premise behind the prompts - and (pun intended) what prompted the book - is that a lot, if not the majority, of the writing prompts out there are very dry, giving you a word or a vague concept to work with. One notable example taken from Maxwell's book is "The Sea". Yeah, that wouldn't be very inspiring to me neither - at least, not in the aim of overcoming a writer's block!
Therefore, in his book, Maxwell proposes to give us a series of actually functional prompts, that should get your creative juices going. But he doesn't stop at that. After a brief description of the major genres of fiction, he then proposes us a story generation - with instructions and a couple of examples on how he used it with his own prompts. If your really blocked, you can use his exercise and ask yourself the right questions from the prompt to up with the basis for characters, location, conflicts, climax, etc. I personally found that very informative and useful - I know I'll be using it!
Follows 3 short stories from 3 other authors using the prompts, along with a commentary on how they used them. And throughout the book, it is always emphasized that the prompts an ideas on how to use them are only there to get us started - ultimately, what we decide to do is up to us, and the sky is the limit.
Overall, I quite enjoyed this book, and would recommend to anyone who enjoys writing and might need a bit of extra inspiration and a push to stop procrastinating - be them a seasoned writer or a newby, like me.
