The English stage musical reached its zenith in the period from 1910 to around 1930, combining the genres of musichall and operetta to wonderful effect, before the Broadway musical style became the rage. Most of the composers of these fabulous shows have been long forgotten except by enthusiasts, but now their light and joyful tunes are being rediscovered. This disc follows 'The Monckton Album' - one of our best sellers, and features orchestral and vocal works by Herman Finck, director of the Palace Theatre in London and one of England's best loved composers and conductors in his day. Superb performances by Pirjo Levandi and Kelli Uustani (sopranos), Mart Sander (baritone) and the Orchestra of Bel Etage.

Spirited Estonian performers, charming British theatre music: a delightful mix. Selections from Decameron Nights show Hermann Finck at his best. [three stars awarded] Geoff Brown (BBC Music Magazine)
As with the companion Monckton album the cast and orchestra provides crisp pleasure. We hear right from the opener that the small band is well attuned to the Light Music theatrical genre. You will enjoy this album of Herman Finck's easygoing music. It certainly deserves to stand alongside the better known Monckton. Jonathan Woolf (MusicWeb)
|An excellent cross-section of Finck's music; this music is good, well written and enjoyable.. Divine Art ... have captured the mood and the spirit of Edwardian times ... this CD is a piece of musical archaeology: it is exciting to unearth it some 90-odd years after it was composed. The singers and the band sound perfectly home in the music hall environment. John France (MusicWeb)
Finck's music and the sounds of the voices are very pleasant indeed. The orchestral and vocal interpretations are true to that era [when the music was written]. Maria Nockin (Fanfare)

They won't remember the names of the victims, but they'll sure remember his.
We have made violence into a media phenomenon where we will revere those who cause chaos. It takes work and dedication to be famous unless you have the strength to pick up a weapon. You ask a kid who shot JFK and they'll sprout conspiracy theories about Lee Harvey Oswald, but you ask them what JFK even stood for and they won't be able to respond. We don't erase the right ones: we remember Ted Bundy but can't name his victims. It's broken and backwards and we reward violence with exultation instead of making sure their name is forgotten.
A man has killed seven human beings and already people are flocking to view the video he made on why he did it. His manifesto is already being passed around the internet. He is already hero status to certain kinds of lowlife scum.
And I won't remember him. I refuse to learn his name. I refuse to watch his rant on why anyone would deserve to die and I refuse to discuss who he used to be or all the warning signs we didn't see or what his favorite activities were. I'd much rather learn about the victims. I will not make him my celebrity. I will not let him be a part of history.
I am sorry for us today. I am sorry for every person who is scared to be called a feminist because it might result in death. I am sorry for all of us who just want to live our lives without being a victim. I am sorry that survival is considered beating the odds. I am sorry for the keys between my fingers and the glances behind me and the extra layers just in case and the heavy purse and the fighting stance and every method I have of preparing myself for the war we're not allowed to talk about - I am sorry they do not make us that safe, that there is nowhere we can be safe unless it is alone. I am sorry for every girl who is blaming herself for the death of seven others just because she turned down a boy. I am sorry that she thinks she is guilty when there is nothing to feel guilty for.
I am sorry for the people who have lived such closed and restricted lives that they think rejection is the worst possible fate a person can go through. I am sorry for every boy who thinks that unless he loses his virginity, he's not worthy. I'm sorry for every man suffering from mental health issues who is yet again watching as he is labeled a danger to society. I'm sorry that the quickest way we have to excuse these people is to call them crazy. I'm sorry that our society has structured it so you cannot run from what these people do. I'm sorry for every boy who likes holding hands and has a quiet soul and just wants to plant gardens and I'm sorry that they'll tell you, "A man needs sex and violence," I'm sorry that they'd lie to you like that. I'm sorry that if you're a man, your shadow smells like a graveyard of our bodies. I'm sorry you'll feel defensive because you don't want to be known as one of them - I'm even more sorry that the more I hear "he was just so normal and such a nice guy," the less likely I am to be trusting of you. I'm sorry that murderers don't carry around large signs warning me off, I'm sorry that there is no way for me to determine if you're cruel or not. I wish there was. It would save me a good deal of effort.
I am sorry for us. I am sorry for the way we feel safe for a moment only to have the ground wrenched out from under us. I am sorry how they will make this another pointless debate about gun restriction. I'm sorry for the fear every college girl suddenly feels as she sees the reactions - "he's a hero," "this is why every man deserves a pity lay," "now maybe you understand the pain of the friendzone" - because for some reason, even though girls rejected a boy who would become a murderer, it's still somehow their fault instead of a symbol of how disgusting he was. I'm sorry that girls like me want to be strong but can't be because we're small or quiet or filled with panic. I'm sorry that we have ways to get around turning guys down because we're terrified of what will happen. I'm sorry that we watch while we're told that men are like animals and will turn wild if we don't wear the right clothes, if we don't say the right words, if we don't let them use their fists to tear apart this world - but at the same time, we're told that men are the only ones fit to be leaders. I am sorry we have been raised as rainbow fish surrounded by sharks and then are told we are imagining the world wanting to swallow us. I am sorry that our skin smells of blood, that our backs are creaking with the weight of the stories we hear, I am sorry we live as whispers passed between each other, I am sorry the scars so often go unnoticed. I am sorry we will be silenced. I am sorry this poem will mean nothing in two day's time because his actions will still ring louder than any response we could have. I am sorry we have to watch as he is defended. I am so, so, so sorry, and there is no way to fix it. People are proud of hating feminism. People are proud of a murderer. People are proud of what he did.
I am sorry for us today. I am sorry, and we are not safe.
— Rest in peace. None of you deserved this. /// r.i.d

Accountability, when discussed in organizations, usually focuses on employees as subordinates. Managers expect people to be accountable for the results of their work, as they should. A problem develops when people are not as productive as expected and managers cannot or do not hold people accountable. This occurs in spite of the coaching and counseling training that many organizations rely on as the way for managers to approach their responsibility. When the initial focus of accountability is on the person in the subordinate position, it is difficult for accountability to work. The initial focus of accountability should be on the leader.
The leader should be accountable for his or her leadership before he or she expects accountability from others. The way to accountability as a leader is through credibility. People tend to embrace accountability to someone who is equally accountable to them. When you, as a leader, fulfill your role well you become someone to whom others willingly become accountable. Voluntary accountability is much more powerful than relying on authority and power. Becoming credible requires attention and intention to your leadership role. Here are three ways to build your credibility in a way that develops accountability.
Create ownership by offering opportunity
I find that leaders value people who take ownership in their work. Ownership increases accountability. If you, as a leader, want to increase ownership, then be accountable to provide people the opportunity to own their work. It must be work worth owning from their perspective. They have little interest in doing your work. Unless you are accountable to provide opportunity, you may find it difficult to hold them accountable as owners.
See results by positioning people to achieve –
The fundamental need for accountability develops when one fails to meet expected results. I have worked with managers who believe people do not want to or cannot succeed so they exert control that results in micro-management. In the end, these managers still struggle to find significant productivity. If you want people to deliver results, be accountable to position them to achieve. Most people can achieve more than they realize. An effective leader positions team members to surprise themselves, even though he or she is not surprised. He or she sees the potential in people and believes they want to succeed.
Experience progress by developing healthy relationships –
Many times, work groups cannot progress because people do not work well together. Even maintaining the status quo presents a challenge in these cases. Managers get frustrated from endless turbulence. If you want people to progress in the ability to work together, you as a leader must be accountable to develop healthy relationships within the team. If you do not fulfill your accountability to guide people on your team out of relational turbulence, you should not expect them to progress in their ability to work together.
There are many ways a leader can be accountable to followers at both the team and organizational level. If you want to increase accountability from those in your organization or on you team, first make sure you are credible as a leader. You will find the willingness of people to be accountable to you increases with your credibility.

CMBT - WOW! This is an all in one! I have left home without my wallet but never my iPhone. This is a two for one...A true must have!
CMBT - Because I don't have a butt I sit lopsided due to having a wallet on one side, therefore getting this case and rid of my wallet I will be able to sit flat for once.
CMBT- I have been waiting for something like this to come around. i made one out of duct tape for myself but it didn't last long.
CMBT - have had so many difference cases and hated each one for scratching my phone on the silver part but i think this case would be the solution to my dilemma as it doesn't cover the silver part. Plus who needs a wallet these days anyways
CMBT- I can leave my house without my wallet, when I am in a rush, but never without my iphone :-D
CMBT - After Redlasering something for a cheaper price I won't have to reach for my wallet, ain't that nice!
CMBT - I would love to ditch my wallet because it hurts my a**. I usually leave it behind in the car or at home and just take a CC and ID with me...this would rock and make that easier to do!
CMBT- I'm looking for a way to stop carrying a wallet and this case will solve the problem. Thanks!!!
CMBT - who needs to lug a wallet around when my DL and CC will fit snugly in this? Love the "regular" Barely There case and this would be a nice complement.
CMBT - I need to ditch my wallet! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ONE OF THESE FOR SO LONG! it got so bad i was working one night and asked a customer where he got his iphone case (it was leather and had a place for cards on the flip) This one is SOO much better. I hate having to carry arround a precious wallet AND a precious phone it would be way easier to consolidate!
CMBT - I would like to get rid of my wallet because I can't keep it in my front pocket as it can be too bulky, and the back pocket makes it awkward to sit down for any period of time.
Please pick my entry. Burlap.
CMBT- Who needs a wallet when u have the iphone.. which is also a WALLET !!
CMBT - That is awesome. I was looking to get something like that in the near future, like just for the money/wallet aspect because I'm in college now and less in the pockets is always better. I have a normal wallet now but the bulk is a pain. If I had the case I would have my Visa my ID and my iPhone. Thanks.
CMBT -i need one because i have my phone 24/7 and i always forget my wallet

Truths and Facts. Does Science prove anything?
There is a great deal of interest of us in examining claims of 'truths' and 'facts'. In such examination there is a noticeable stress on scientifically proven facts which can be taken as fundamentally true. This is possibly because mathematics is the language of Science and we make mistake thinking mathematical proofs to be reflecting the essence of scientifically proven facts.
Does science necessarily prove anything? The way mathematics proves a proposition?
It is surprising that such a basic debate cannot be laid to rest and a conclusion arrived at even after 1934 book by Karl Popper: The Logic of Scientific Discovery.
Alan Moghissi, Matthew Amin and Connor McNulty of Institute for Regulatory Science, Alexandria, Va wrote to the editor of Science (the magazine) disagreeing with Peter Gleick and 250 members of the (US) National Academy of Sciences writing to the editor of Science : All citizens should understand some basic scientific facts. There is always some uncertainty associated with scientific conclusions; science never absolutely proves anything.
Is there an absolutely proven scientific fact?

MR TMay 24 2013: Wow, the amount of times someone that doesn't understand what science is has said to me
"science is just theories anyway' or 'science is never 100% so nothing science finds is true' or 'science is just another way of thinking about things'
Science is a PROCESS, you have an idea, conduct an experiment in a LOGICAL way, get a result then publish so other people can repeat the experiment and scrutinise you.
So far it is the ONLY decent process humanity has discovered for investigating the world around us and producing reliable, useful information. There is a reason the technology in hospitals or modern computers isn't made by reading horoscopes or the bible. Would you deny it to be TRUE that both these devices save lives in some way or another?
Comment deleted
MR TMay 24 2013: The origin of the word science is quite irrelevant, the meaning of words can change over time, this discussion is about what science is now.
Spot on! science is the main process used for advancing technology. Its more of a general statement I made using specific examples but what Im saying is that I'm tired of hearing people so easily 'poo poo' a methodology that gives the world so much!
I can quite confidently say that science/technology has saved more lives than say horoscopes, as I can think of a million ways in which science does on a daily basis, a million more than for horoscopes, ask your self the same question, how many can you think of for each?
Of course I cannot say that is absolute 100% fact as with anything but if everyone had to note that at the end of every statement, they would waste a lot of time!
May 26 2013: Science is "organized knowledge" who's knowledge? GODS knowledge, we have the power over it by understanding it. without the "understanding" we would not have power over it. GOD gave us the understanding in birth for a reason. so we may be at play. think of the universe full of LEGO"S that are smaller than one another and bigger For GOD has gave his children the understanding of them to be at play so his children may put these LEGO"S together to discover and claim. For mankind does not create only discover and claim, "But i speak Thy TRUTH, unless it is written nothing can be created, so be it thy discovery who may claim" Amen
May 24 2013: @MR T: I think it is highly probable that Peter Gleick understands what science is. You can google his background. It is also highly probable that Karl Popper understood what science is. I did not start this debate on the reactions of common folks. Why do you think these experts are so doubtful about the absolute knowledge of science?
MR TMay 24 2013: Its my belief that its not possible to have absolute knowledge about anything at any time, science of course is no different. The essence of that is that we are fundamentally human and limited in our capabilities.
Say you have an experiment and the result of which has a 99.99% certainty. You can say what you have found is likely to be fact, this is useful as now you can use it to make decisions. Whether it is absolute truth or not is irrelevant, if you know something has 99.99% certainty of being correct then it is pretty useful.
In my opinion the only big limit of the scientific process is that it cant tell you what questions you should be asking in the first place.
Lastly who is saying the results of science are absolute anyway?
May 24 2013: You are talking about uncertainty on account of observational limitations. I think science has revealed uncertainty at a more fundamental level - where things are uncertain even if there is infinite precision of observation.
If things are that uncertain fundamentally, the ideas like 'correct' and 'pretty useful' become subjective. I mean it can be pretty useful to believe that there is a supernatural God who is looking after our actions - useful because that can help to maintain a moral order.
I have referred a link in my OP. I think it gives a fair enough idea about who is saying results of science are absolute.

Russian Helicopters is here at the Singapore Airshow (Stand U87) exhibiting three models: the Ka-32A11BC medium twin in rescue and firefighting configuration; the Ka-226T light twin with a medical module; and the Mi-38 heavy twin, which is primarily designed for passenger and cargo transportation.
Kamov Ka-26
Turning heads at Le Bourget whenever it takes to the skies is Kamov's Ka-52 helicopter. Its co-axial rotor blades and comprehensive weapons suite mark it out from the herd and, amazingly for a helicopter, it even has ejection seats. With the Ka-52 now in Russian army service and being touted for export, the design bureau is busy working on a maritime version for the Russian navy.
EASA certified the Turbomeca Arrius 2G1 turboshaft that powers the Kamov Ka-226T light twin, Kamov parent company Russian Helicopters announced this week. The Ka-226T is a coaxial-rotor helicopter that features a service ceiling of 24,000 feet, according to the manufacturer. It seats eight, including the pilot, and has an mtow of 7,900 pounds.

Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar defeated Kurt Bills in Minnesota's U.S. Senate race, according to The Associated Press. The race was called just minutes after polls closed at 8 p.m.
Klobuchar earns a second term in the U.S. Senate. Polls leading up to the election showed her with a sizeable lead.
Klobuchar's popularity, name recognition and big campaign fund kept big-name Republicans from stepping forward to challenge her.
Bills, a high school economics teacher and first-term state lawmaker, rode support from Ron Paul backers to become his party's nominee. But he had so little money he couldn't mount a major TV presence.
Klobuchar, a former county prosecutor, ran hard anyway. She played up several pieces of legislation she worked on with Republicans as evidence of her bipartisanship.
Bills is a high school economics teacher in Rosemount and a one-term state representative

Weber "Tweedifying" Champ Mods
By Gerald Weber in Vintage Guitar Magazine
"When Fender changed from the tweed series amps to the Blackface amps, the tone changed to a more scooped
midrange kind of tone. Although a signature sound, valid and usable, there are some people that find the tweed
sound more desirable for blues. <snip...Three basic mods. you will only need two 22K ohm half watt resistors
and one or two .02 mfd @ 400 volt capacitors and solder.
- Get rid of the tone controls
Yes, those tone controls reduce gain and scoop mids. The mod for this involves three steps. Looking at the back
of the volume pot, remove the wire from right lead and tape it off. Now remove the wire from the right lead on
the treble pot and solder it to the right lead of the volume pot. Looking at the board and coming off pin 1 of the
first 12AX7 you will find a 250pf cap connected to two 100K ohm resistors. Change the 250pf cap to a .02 mfd
@ 400 volts and remove one of the 100k ohm resistors. you have to be sure and remove the right one! The
100K resistor that is mounted longways (horizontal) on the board is the correct one to remove. Actually it is the
one that connected the 250 pf cap to the the .047 and .1 cap originally.
This part of the mod was probably the most noticeable. The stock circuit has a very scooped midrange
tone to it and the bass can get REALLY flabby if you turn the bass pot up much higher than 4 on any of
the black/silverface champs. The best way I can describe it, is that this mod makes the amp "blossom".
The increased mids give the amp a much fuller tone. And much to my suprise, the bass, although
uncontrolled after this mod really smooths out and looses its former flabby character.
- Change the feedback loop
From the speaker jack, there will be a wire running to the board connectedto a 2700 ohm resistor (red violet
red). This is the feedback resistor. You are going to remove it and replace it with a 22k resistor--but wait--the
new resistor is going to be connected differently. One resistor lead goes in the same eyelet that the wire coming
from the speaker goes (like original), but the other end of the resistor goes to pin 8 of the first preamp tube.
There is already a wire on pin 8 so make sure and leave that connected.
The part of the mod is a little deceiving... If you're only on step two, and you listen to the amp with just
#1 and #2 of the mod, it appears to bump up the gain quite a bit. But the following step lowers the overall
voltages to the amp and the gain gets reduced again. So from what I can tell, this is a compensation step
for the mod to follow. It's not really mean't to be used on it's own to change the amp's tone.
- Change the power resistor
On the far end of the board near the multi-section can type filter cap, there is a 10K, 1 watt resistor (brown
black orange). Change this to a 22K with a half watt. Now you have yourself a virtual Tweed Champ (or Tweed
Champ with Vibrato if you converted a Vibro-Champ). Time to play that guitar (HARP!)
This part of the mod is where you get the warm "tweed-like" tone. Call it the "brown sound" or what
ever you like. But this definitely gives the illusion that you're not playing a black or silverface amp
- Fine Tune the Gain
On the board you will find an electrolytic cap that connects to pin 8 of the first preamp tube. If your amp has too
much gain, remove this cap. The tweed Champ did not have this cap, but you might want to listen to it before
you remove it because you might like the extra gain. It was put on the Blackface to help conpensate for loss in
the tone circuit. ( you have the option of removing a cap that goes to pin 8 of the preamp tube. If you leave it
there, the amp Has more gain.)
I listened to the amp with this cap in place and it was a little gainy for my tastes. But then again I wasn't
looking for an amp that would break up as early as possible. So to put it back closer to the tweed design
and give it a little more clean headroom, I removed the cap and I liked it better with out it. The amp still
starts breaking up at around 4 or 5, but not as dramatically. Now the overdrive has a creamier tonality to
Additional Mods to try:
1) Change the rectifier tube
Although all Champs came with a 5Y3 rectifier tube, you might want to experiment with a 5U4 or GZ34
rectifier. These will increase the plate voltage resulting in more power, more headroom and more bottom end. A
solid-state rectifier will also work with this amp.
Didn't try this. Maybe I will at a later time when I get the 10" speaker I want to eventually use.
2. Slow down the vibrato on your Vibro-Champ
If you converted a VC, you may want to slow down the vibrato speed. This can be easily accomplished by
changing a cap. On the board you will find three caps in a vertical row whose values are .01, .01, and .02 mfd.
Change one of the .01 caps to a .02 mfd for slower speed.
I LIKED THIS !!! The normal Vibrochamp vibrato goes from a moderate chop to full tilt rapid fire
unuseable-for-anything vibrato. This mod tames the beast! I found that space is at a premium where
those ceramic .01's reside, so a .02 orangedrop won't fit. But a .02 mallory 150 slips in there just fine with
a little lead bending. The end result is a much more useable range of vibrato. The low end gives you that
old timey slow throb that sounds so good with slide playing, to a faster (but still useable) Vibratone on
high vibrato speed. I even thought about changing out both .01's with .02's to slow it down even more, but
I left it .02-.01-.02.
3. Change the speaker
I should have covered this first because this is the part of the speaker that makes the sound! Most Champ
speakers have either been replaced with the wrong impedance replacement resulting a very low power or the
original speaker has lost its effiency, resulting in mushy lows and low volume. Replace with a 4 ohm 8 inch
I'm shopping around for a blown vintage alnico 10" that I can have reconed for 4 ohms. When I do, I'm
going to change out the original 8". Stay tuned...

We got it at a significant discount thanks to a friend who works for Apple, and I had a friend who is a liscenced Apple tech come and set everything up for her, her email , icloud, install the office suite (word, excel etc.. ) and copy over my itunes library to her computer (we share an apple id for itunes)... we even put ap hoto of her and her best friend on the desktop and then repackaged it as if it were new... seeing her face when she turned it on and saw it was all set up was the best part of the whole gift.. I would much rather invest in the stabiliyt and longevity of a macbook with its defenses against viruses and the fact that she can take it to college in four years..I'm relentless about regular updates and maintenance on both our machines.... it was the absolute right move..

McDonald's corporation, recognizable around the world for its iconic "Golden Arches," has proven its staying power for more than half a century. Its menu items include the iconic Big Mac and Quarter Pounder hamburgers, french fries and thick milkshakes, and breakfast foods like the Egg McMuffin. The restaurant has continued to change and evolve with the times and with its customers' preferences, expanding to include items such as fresh salads, wrap sandwiches, and low-calorie dining options. Even in times of economic upheaval, McDonald's has continued to grow and thrive, making a McDonald's job application a very solid investment in your professional future. The company can offer job security, scheduling flexibility, training and advancement opportunities, and a chance to work nearly anywhere in the world. After all, with more than thirty-three thousand restaurants in one hundred and twenty countries, serving sixty-eight million people per day, McDonald's clearly has a booming business where you can be assured of steady employment!
Apply At Your Nearest Location Right Online!
McDonald's Online Job Application
The McDonald's job application form is available online for application to any location in the United States. You can begin by selecting your own state, then narrowing your search by categories of "Crew," "Management," or "Support," or go ahead and search all categories. Every listed job opening includes information about the specific location, pay, benefits, and requirements, and a red "Apply Online" button leading to the McDonald's application form itself.
Download and print the McDonald's Application here.
Minimum Age for Employment at McDonald's
McDonald's hires workers as young as fourteen at some United States locations, but due to the restrictions on working hours for teens under sixteen, not every location hires employees that young. Depending on local labor laws and individual restaurant policy, the minimum age may be sixteen. You can check the minimum age requirement at the specific location where you intend to submit your McDonald's application.
McDonald's Hours of Operation
Hours of operation vary from one location to another, particularly when the restaurant itself is located within a larger venue like a shopping mall or airport which dictates the hours. Having said that, many McDonald's restaurants are open from early morning (six a.m. or earlier) until late night (midnight or after), which means your McDonald's application can result in a flexible schedule, working around your other commitments, such as a school schedule.
Entry Level McDonald's Careers and Income
Your application for McDonald's for an entry-level position, such as crew member, will begin at minimum wage (and therefore is determined by the minimum-wage laws of your individual state). The entry-level position at a McDonald's restaurant is designated in the position listings and McDonald's online application as "Crew Member," either full time or part time, and the responsibilities will range from food preparation to customer service to clean-up. McDonald's restaurants make it a point to cross-train their crew members to be able to serve in a variety of capacities, so you will gain the training and experience of every aspect of the business, and feel comfortable filling in for any task, from fryer to front counter to drive-through.
McDonald's Careers in Management
One of the undeniable perks of McDonald's careers is the opportunity for growth. With a robust training program (affectionately referred to as "Hamburger U" by employees who have been through it), McDonald's invests a great deal in its employee team. The company believes strongly in promoting from within and developing its own existing workforce into an ever-stronger team, while also availing itself of incoming managers with experience in other facets of the restaurant industry. Whether you are an existing McDonald's employee or an experienced manager submitting your first McDonald's employment application, you can be sure you'll receive the training that will ensure your success, and the benefits suitable to your management station.
Management positions within the McDonald's company range from swing managers (who may still be paid at hourly rates, but at higher rates than the minimum-wage starting pay of crew members) to assistant managers and store managers. As a manager, you will be expected to be available to work any shift, but the salaries of full managers generally range from thirty thousand to fifty thousand dollars annually, depending on the local cost of living and the individual's level of experience.
Basic Tips for Applying at McDonald's
From the McDonal'ds corporation website, select the "Careers" link and select your state, as well as the job type (Crew, Management, Support, or all three) for which you wish to search. (Or go directly to the career page at http://www.mcstate.com/careers to make the same selection.)
The list of available positions in your area will be displayed, along with the specific location of the restaurant where that job is located. Click on the hyperlinked job title of any position to view the pay, hours, benefits, and responsibilities, as well as the red "Apply Online" button if you wish to submit a McDonald's application online for that position.
For each McDonald's position for which you want to apply (you can apply for as many individual positions as you like), the "Apply Online" button will take you to an interactive McDonald's application online form. The very first screen will ask for a "Promotion Code," and supplies a code which you can use if you haven't been given one. (You might already have one if you are responding to a particular employment advertisement, or have talked with a restaurant manager about a position, and been given a particular code for your application.)
After the Promotional Code screen, the online application will guide you through a series of screens collecting information from your name and contact information to your work experiences and references. Answer the questions as they come up, click "Submit" at the bottom of each screen, and voila! You have just applied to begin your career with McDonald's!
Advanced Tips for Applying at McDonald's
If you are applying for a managerial position, your application will probably include some additional elements, most likely including the request that you upload a professional resume. If you haven't yet created a resume for yourself, this is a great time to start–knowing that you will be able to continue adding to it as you accumulate training and job experience. There are a number of easy-to-use resume templates available, both online and within the "templates" of most word-processing programs like Microsoft Word. At its most essential, the resume is an easy-to-read listing of your education, your work history, your job references, and any other elements (like certifications and trainings) that might be relevant to your employment application–and of course, your contact information! (An essential item, but one that is sometimes forgotten by first-time resume-writers. You want to be sure a prospective employer can contact you for an interview or a job offer!)
Benefits at McDonald's
Even entry-level Crew positions at McDonald's benefit from a solid array of employee perks. Uniforms, flexible schedules, and employee meal discounts are provided even for part-time employees, and full-time employees (even at entry level) enjoy additional benefits of the McCrew Care Medical Insurance, scholarship opportunities, and the growth potential of the training opportunities within the company itself. Your McDonald's application for even an entry-level Crew position provides more than just a paycheck; it's a solid and reputable job experience, with the opportunity to gain training and experience for future job applications (or for growth and promotion within the company) and the opportunity to work with a diverse and dynamic group of people.
Managers enjoy annual salaries, as well as paid vacation, free employee meals, health, vision, prescription, and dental insurance, a continuing education allowance, life insurance, short-term disability insurance, McDonald's stock options, and additional incentives like merit reviews, crew service awards, enthusiasm activities, the managerial Gold card (an extensive discount program), and the McResource line, which assists employees with issues ranging from child care and elder care to legal matters, housing, credit counseling, health and nutrition, education opportunities, and more. McDonald's corporation goes the extra mile to help its employees in the broader context of their lives–not just when they're "clocked in" at the job site.
For anyone who enjoys travel, or who foresees a move in the near future, another advantage of employment with McDonald's is the ease with which you can transfer to a similar job at a new location. With McDonald's restaurants located in nearly every United States city–and liberally sprinkled across the globe as well–you can be assured that a job will be waiting for you at your destination if you have reason to move.
Useful and Interesting Facts about McDonald's
As you head into an interview, it serves you well to be able to speak knowledgeably about the company itself. Demonstrating that you have taken the time to learn about the company will impress your prospective employer with the fact that you've done the background research, and that you are truly invested in the opportunity to be employed there. Knowing specific information about the company also allows you to be able to speak specifically about how you will fit in there, and how your own skills, experience, and background make you an ideal candidate for the position in question. McDonald's itself hosts an extensive website with information about the company's history, values, menu, promotions, leadership, and more–so you would do well to do some reading-research before the interview. Some of the highlights you will find include the following:
McDonald's restaurant actually had its beginning in 1940, when brothers Mac and Dick McDonald opened a drive-in BBQ restaurant in San Bernadino, California. Eight years later, they redesigned their restaurant concept and re focused the menu, including only the nine most popular items; namely, the fifteen-cent hamburger and the cheeseburger, beverages (coffee, milk, and soft drinks), pie slices, and potato chips. The following year, they added milkshakes and replaced potato chips with french fries, for which McDonald's restaurants are now famous around the world.
In 1954, a traveling salesman named Ray Kroc had a conversation with the McDonald brothers about franchising, and took it into his head that he would take it on. Kroc opened his first franchise restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois the following year–complete with the now-iconic red roof and golden arches.
As he continued to add locations across the United States, Kroc made a point of standardizing everything about the McDonald's restaurants he opened, from the menu and ingredients to the friendly service of its employees. To that end in 1961, he opened a dedicated training facility, called Hamburger University, which trained managers in all the details of running a McDonald's restaurant, and granted its graduates a "Bachelor of Hamburgerology" degree.
McDonald's became a publicly traded company on the stock market in 1965, and debuted its first television commercial (introducing the mascot clown Ronald McDonald) in 1966.
The Big Mac joined the McDonald's menu in 1968, and the Quarter Pounder joined it in 1973. These two have remained such classics that a whole generation of adults can still chant the television-commercial jingles from their childhood.
McDonald's has made a community commitment to extend a helping hand to those in need, particularly to children with health issues. Since 1974, the company has sponsored "Ronald McDonald Houses" near children's hospitals across the nation, providing families with places to stay when their children are hospitalized with severe illnesses.
Many people can't imagine life without the Egg McMuffin, but McDonald's restaurants didn't feature a breakfast menu until 1975.
The Happy Meal, a kid-sized meal in a decorated lunchbox-type carton, often with a small toy included, was introduced in 1979.
One of the reasons for McDonald's continued growth and popularity is the fact that is has continued to evolve and change with the times. Its advertising, as well as its menu, has continued to keep pace with people's interests and appetites. As examples, the restaurants added fresh salads in 1987, premium salads in 2003, snack wraps in 2006, espresso drinks in 2009, and frappes and fruit smoothies in 2010. Many locations now even offer free, wireless internet.
Applying to work with the great team at McDonald's will set you up with far more than a paycheck. It's the beginning of a career, complete with benefits and opportunities!

Victoria Falls, Zambia
Traditionally, the majority of visitors choose the Zimbabwe side of the Zambezi River. However, the Zambian side also gives you much to explore. Along with a spectacular view of Victoria Falls, it provides an opportunity to explore the Mosi-O-Tunya National Park. Here you're likely to see antelopes, zebras, giraffe, and even elephants crossing the Zambezi and walking freely through the area. The Lower Zambezi National Park is known for both its incredible fishing and fantastic birdlife. The walking safari is another highlight. It sees a game guide lead travelers deep into the bushes as elephants and baboons rest a few yards away.

Mark Hayward's City Matters: Plenty to be thankful for
As I thought about Thanksgiving this week, I fantasized about Thanksgiving in an alternative universe. In my alternative universe, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was not so devastated by disease and death in its first winter (only 47 of the 102 original Mayflower colonists survived the winter, according to Wikipedia).
So, in my alternative history, Plymouth Rock got crowded quickly. Leaders of the Mass. Bay Colony started levying taxes to build an ornate dock, fund a few cushy jobs for their brothers-in-law and pay for colony-wide schooling beyond the eighth grade.
That caused about half the colony (the ornery half) to say 'I'm out of here' and move north. They made camp at falls on the Merrimack River, where they thrived off the abundant game, made peace with the natives and celebrated the first Thanksgiving feast, all on granite-hugging soil.
My story may be fantastical, but as we city residents gather today with friends and family, we have much to be thankful for.
-- That Myles Webster is a lousy shot. Six years ago, Manchester grieved over the death of police officer Michael Briggs. We dodged that bullet this March when officer Daniel Doherty survived a shoot-out between himself and Webster. Webster fired 12 shots at Doherty, most when the 25-year-old officer was on his back returning fire. At times, Webster was as close as three feet from Doherty, according to court testimony.
Doherty, who was hit five times, remains very much alive, although out of work because of his injuries. Webster is scheduled to go on trial next month for attempted murder.
If pretrial hearings are any indication, his lawyers might raise what I call a good-man, good-shot defense: that Webster didn't really want to kill Doherty and is therefore a good shot. (Talk about alternative universes.)
Of course, the prosecution will argue that Webster, who has a history of gun-related crimes, is a bad man, and a bad shot to boot.
-- That Jim O'Connell likes a good fight. For the past 20 years or so, school funding in Manchester has basically come down to two goals - keep taxes low and keep teachers on the job. Any reformers have tended to be quiet types content to send out emails and hold workshops.
Enter O'Connell. He has the time on his hands and the determination to keep parents active in a fight for better schools. O'Connell, whose Irish brogue betrays a leprechaun's cunning, didn't mind calling the Fire Department on the first day of school to say that overcrowded classrooms were a fire hazard.
The father of four frequently appears before aldermen and the school board to demand better schools. And much to Mayor Ted Gatsas' dismay, his organization - Citizens for Manchester Schools - boasts a website, bumper stickers and, apparently, staying power.
(In the interests of full disclosure here, Jim is a neighbor. If you stop to say hello to him, beware. He will talk at length about schools, politics and Ireland.)
-- For patient voters. Earlier this month, 49,052 people voted in the Queen City, which works out to roughly 58 percent of the voting-age population. (I'm using a 2010 census estimate of 85,090 Manchester residents who are 18 or over). Throughout the day, polling places had lines I hadn't seen since this summer when the third movie of the Batman trilogy came out. They were patient and proud. Like the outcome or not, the turnout shows that many - in fact, most - Manchester residents still believe in democracy.
-- The the wobbly Jet Stream. Last month, that great turnpike of upper-air currents whipped Sandy south of New England, saving us from the winds and rains that struck New Jersey and New York. Now if it can just settle somewhere between New York and Philadelphia for the next four months. Keep the warm air south of us, the cold air over us and let those nor'easters ride its slope like a kid down a water slide.
Thanksgiving is over at midnight. It's time for some big snowstorms.
-- For Sister Angie Whidden. When I did my Thanksgiving grocery shopping Wednesday, a man came up and asked me for a couple of dollars. He had two children at home, he said, and no way to give them a Thanksgiving dinner. Of course, my generous streak wanted to help, but I'm wary of giving cash to strangers, not knowing what it will be used for.
Thanks to Sister Angie, who died last month at 86, I suggested he seek out New Horizons soup kitchen and pantry. When she started serving soup out of a Winnebago to the homeless on Christmas Eve 1979, there were no homeless shelters or soup kitchens in the city. Few - if any - existed in the state. But because of her hard work and example, shelters, soup kitchens and pantries exist throughout New Hampshire. Because of her, no one will go hungry today who doesn't want to. (Of course, she started it all; it's up to us to continue her work, so please remember the less fortunate today and write a check to your local shelter or soup kitchen.)
-- For happy doggies. Last year, some Manchester residents took it upon themselves to build a dog park in the city. It lacks the pizazz (running water, agility courses) of parks in Hooksett and Derry. But no city dollars were spent building it (although it is on unused city land).
Of course, this is Manchester: Patrons are bickering over how to improve the park. But they will eventually agree, egos will heal and the park will prosper. To put things in perspective, Bedford is so divided on a dog park that it looks like residents will have to vote on a park this spring.
-- Manchester water. Two weeks ago, I visited my hometown of Syracuse, N.Y. Turning on the faucet there is like opening the valve in a chemical plant. The water stinks of whatever is used to purify it, and it tastes about as bad. (Nonetheless, natives claim Syracuse water is some of the best in the country. The mass delusion makes me think they've put something in the water besides chlorine.) Here in Manchester, I can drink gallons of our vintage Lake Massabesic waters.
It's fresh, clear and tastes like a mid-December snowfall. The longtime director of Manchester Water Works retires in January after 42 years at the city-owned utility. Thanks Tom Bowen, for the drink.

Simple Tips to Make Over Your Garden
If you're looking at your backyard in despair, take heart: Sometimes, it's the little things that can make a difference. We've rounded up a few simple, budget-friendly tips that can help enliven your outdoor space. Check them out after the jump...
• Choose a color palette to work with, be it an array of bright colors or a strict monochromatic scheme, and start repainting old terracotta pots. This gives a unifying theme to your garden, even if you only have a few potted plants. We also love the idea of using old tin cans, like the one picture above, for a more rustic look.
• Got old wood patio furniture? Set aside a weekend to clean it up and reseal it. It's recommended that you treat and seal it once a year to maintain it. If your teak has gone silver, and you're hankering to get it back to that golden-brown finish, you can use Golden Care 3-in-1 Teak Kit to bring it back to its former glory. Another way to spruce up your patio furniture? Picking up some inexpensive cushions at Ikea or Target.
• Add some lights. From expensive silver lanterns to $1.99 Christmas lights, lighting instantly makes an outdoor space seem inviting once the sun begins to set. If you have steps that lead out to the backyard, you could utilize that area by adding a small light to each step or wrapping a string of lights underneath the railing.
If you like a neater look to your flowerbeds, you can push decorative edging around the perimeter to tidy it up. We also love this idea for decorating a garden wall: Hanging potted plants from a trellis. Want to try it? HousetoHome.co.uk has a tutorial here. Don't have a garden wall? You can do something similar even on a balcony: Grab a few of Ikea's Asker containers and some S hooks, plant a few herbs in the containers, and hang them from the balcony railing.

Mulch! You can get big bags of mulch for under $4 each. Use mulch to make paths, cover exposed dirt, fill in your flower beds, whatever! Also, put mulch around the bases of your trees and shrubs. Mulch keeps roots cool in the summer (warm in the winter), helps them retain moisture, provides nutrients, and gives your garden and landscaping a professionally finished look.
P-nut, you seem to love mulch as much as I do.....I want a bigger car to be able to haul more mulch!
I'm a fan of the mulch!
"Lighting instantly makes an outdoor space seem inviting once the sun begins to set." I truly believe that having a lighting system on your outdoor is very much needed for it has many benefits for you and your family.

Spring is here and it is great to start spending more time outside. There are many reasons why being outside is good for us, be it relaxation, exercise, time to recharge or time to unwind. We all know that being outside in nature is healthy, whether that involves taking a walk, flying a kite or working in the garden (my choice for the way to spend 'quality time'). What ever the reason why we we enjoy being outside, the sunshine offers us a way to absorb Vitamin D naturally.
In fact, Dr. Andrew Weil's web site (www.drweil.com) describes Vitamin D as the "sunshine vitamin" because our bodies synthesize this vitamin by exposure to sunlight. Dr. Weil lists five
reasons how this important hormone is used throughout the body:
- Helps to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus.
- Assists in the absorption of calcium and promotes bone mineralization, which may prevent or slow the progression of osteoporosis.
- Strengthens the immune system and protects against a number of serious diseases, including rickets and osteomalacia.
- May provide protection from hypertension, psoriasis and several autoimmune diseases (including multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis).
- Plays a role in defending against cancer (studies link a deficiency of vitamin D to as many as 18 different cancers).
It is recommended to get 20 to 30 minutes of exposure to the sun's light each day (depending upon your skin pigmentation). Take care to wear the proper clothing to avoid over exposure. Additional information on Vitamin D and to see if you are getting your share, check out Dr. Weil's web site at:
So, the next time someone asks you why you are spending so much time in your garden, remind them that you are getting your daily dose of Vitamin D. Enjoy!

Flying high: David Mackay is relishing his football with the Adelaide Crows. Photo: Sebastian Costanzo
Adelaide's David Mackay has used hard work, a little luck and family support to make the grade.
DAVID Mackay's father, Grant, toured Sri Lanka with the Australian under-19 cricket team and was a more than capable all-rounder at district level, but he never made the big-time because of a back injury.
His grandfather, Ron, was a professional athlete who ran in the Stawell Gift, but didn't win. He was a reserves player for Melbourne, but he never played league because he proudly served the Australian Army in World War II.
But Grant and Ron always lived their dreams from when David was a quiet two-year-old trying to kick a footy in the backyard, and today he's playing on the big stage - for Adelaide in a preliminary final against Hawthorn at the MCG.
Sadly, his grandpa died last year, aged 85, but David says he will be there, just like he and Grant always were for him at every training session and every game when he was a kid.
After a run of injuries in his first five years at Adelaide, including shoulder problems last year, Mackay, 24, has enjoyed his best season. And the half-back flanker knows he wouldn't be playing today if it weren't for the support of his grandpa and father who taught him to make the most of every opportunity. Mackay said he feels for players who did not get that same support and didn't quite get an AFL game - and there are many.
''I am lucky,'' Mackay said. ''Dad had me lined up to play cricket in the summer, but I played basketball. Yet, he still supported me. He was always there supporting me at footy training and at the games, and he gave me an important background in what was really important in sport, and what was important in competing against other people.''
Grant has travelled to Adelaide often to watch his son play, since his debut in 2008, and no doubt will continue to do so after Mackay last week signed a new three-year deal.
There were a few suggestions he might move back to Melbourne, but Mackay said there was no doubt about staying with Adelaide. ''You always miss home,'' he said. ''Things happen back there, like your sister [Jess] starting her own family and you miss the kids growing up. You miss your sister [Sarah] growing through her teens. You can't get that back, but you adjust to where you are.
''I get back there as much as I can, especially a lot of time off-season. You find a way to make it work; it's what you have got to do if you want to follow your dream and play for the club. It becomes easier over time.''
Helping has been the fact Mackay's girlfriend, Sarah, moved over from Melbourne 18 months ago to be with him in Adelaide.
Again, Mackay feels lucky, and grateful for the opportunity to remain with the Crows. He believes that's what this whole game is about; chances. ''It's about having a lot of luck and playing well on the right day when the right people are watching,'' he said.
''It's a tough game. A guy I played lot of junior footy with, Nathan Batsanis, who is now at Norwood [in the SANFL]. He was a real gun; a rookie at Port, but it just didn't work out. How he's not playing AFL is just amazing; he has such a great work ethic.''
It's funny, but all of this luck has just followed Mackay, yet he was a shy kid who, in his own words ''just followed a dream''. Maybe it was just discipline that stopped him from ''punching the lights out'' of Hayden Ballantyne during one of his confrontational poke-in-the-chest acts during last Saturday night's semi-final at a crucial stage.
''I try to stay out of trouble for the team's sake,'' Mackay said. ''I love this aspect about football; the opportunity to play your role in a team game.
''Again, I think it gets back to what my grandpa and my dad taught me; making the most of my chance to play in a team, and I love it here at Adelaide.''
Of course, Grant had visions of his son playing cricket. ''I've never played a game of cricket in my life,'' Mackay said. ''I think dad eventually gave up waiting for me to put the pads on.''
And the once-preferred basketball career as a point guard? ''I wasn't much chop as a basketballer; too short,'' Mackay said. Funnily enough he had plenty of luck in basketball, so maybe his success as an AFL player is due to something else.
It is interesting to note that Mackay was born in 1988, when one of the world's great golfers, Gary Player, then well past his prime, became the first of only two players to win the senior grand slam - the US Senior PGA Championship and US Senior Open - in the same season. It was Player who said: ''The more I practice the luckier I get.''

Happy Everafter In Your Eyes ❤
The morning sunrise spread her wings
While the moon hung in the sky
Held the sea in your hands
And happy everafter in your eyes
Couldn't leave you to go to heaven
I carry you in my smile
For the first time my true reflection i see
Happy everafter in your eyes
Every star in the night
Promises the dawn
I will be there if you fall
To ever so heavily rest upon
All that i can give you
Is forever yours to keep
Wake up every day with a dream
And happyever after in your eyes
Happy everafter is in your eyes
"Self-forgetfulness is the key to wholeness, to becoming at one with God's world, and each individual must become whole. The individual is of supreme importance. The individual is from everlasting to everlasting. But the individual exists by virtue of others' individuality. And that is why I say that individuals develop as they forget themselves, they do not develop by asserting themselves or thinking of themselves. And that's the fundamental thing about this soul of ours: if we can be at peace with ourselves and be at peace within the group, we can be so most readily by remembering that, as members one of another, we gain by remembering others and forgetting ourselves. Fundamentally, such remembering and forgetting is what love is all about." ❤
—P. 346-7 (Last paragraph of the book) – Arm The Children by Arthur Henry King. (This one is my favourite, I hope you like it too.)
We must remember that we should judge in such a way that we shall not mind being judged in the same way. That is the point. To commit ourselves to a judgment is to be prepared to have someone else commit himself by judging us.
—P. 130 – Arm The Children by Arthur Henry King
Book of Mosiah
My soul hath been redeemed from the gall of bitterness and bonds of iniquity. I was in the darkest abyss; but now I behold the marvelous light of God. My soul was racked with eternal torment; but I am snatched, and my soul is pained no more. 💜
Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 10:23
Therefore, cheer up your hearts, and remember that ye are free to choose to act for yourselves––to choose the way of everlasting death or the way of eternal life. 😊
'Cause you were the same as me. And scatter like ice from the spoon. That swallowed the light from the sun. #blackballoon #moon (Taken with Instagram)

I'm not sure if I made a mistake but the pasta was not good. I added almost an extra cup of milk/water to the recipe and it was still to thick too mix. I had to use a blender. Also the flavor was not very good. Looks like I am in the minority but I would not make this again.
Fettuccine with Butternut and Gorgonzola Sauce
This rich dish works well for a dinner party--simply add a tossed salad, bread, and wine. Gorgonzola is a creamy blue cheese that creates a luscious sauce. If you use another type of blue cheese, the sauce will still taste great but not be as creamy. To help cut prep time, look for pre-chopped butternut squash, which some large supermarkets stock in the produce section.

Arrow - "Damaged"
- Written by ThanosCopter on Thursday, November 08 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
A spoiler filled recap of the latest Arrow episode.
"Damaged" opens with Ollie trying out a bow and arrow for a first time back on Purgatory Island. Yao Fei and Ollie are hunting and Ollie is tired of having to pick up animal carcasses for the Asian Arrow. After missing his target badly, Ollie is sent to pick up his errant arrow but gets kidnapped by a group of mercenaries.
Flashing forward to the present, Ollie's is getting processed by the Starling City police, who arrested him last episode. Although his mother and stepfather stop Detective Lance from interrogating him for too long, Ollie insists that he should be represented by Laurel. While Moira thinks it's a bad idea, she passes along the request to Laurel. Ollie seems to think that Laurel can reach out to her father and stop him from pushing his vendetta against Ollie further. Laurel is reluctant to take on the case, but upon hearing that Ollie's still "smitten" by her, she shows up at Ollie's plea hearing and convinces the judge to put him under house arrest.
After the commercial break, Ollie gets fitted for a GPS and announces his intentions to throw a prison themed party to show that "he's not worried". Meanwhile, Laurel and her dad argue about Ollie's innocence and whether Quentin is lashing out at Queen for ruining his marriage and killing his daughter.
Later, Ollie explains to Diggle that he meant to be arrested and that the video evidence was deliberately set up. Ollie's plan, allegedly, is to convince the police of his innocence now in order to prevent them from getting suspicious later. Diggle thinks it's a rather tenuous plan but agrees to help Ollie, namely by following the movements of an arms dealer named Leo Mueller.
Walter Steele calls in Queen Industries' head of security and asks him to move the wreckage of the Queen's Gambit to a more secure location. While Walter's making plans behind her back, Moira discusses with John Barrowman (who's still unnamed) and one of his thugs about whether her son is actually the vigilante responsible for attacking their criminal associates. Meanwhile, Ollie and Laurel meets with Detective Lance and Kate Spencer, the prosecuting attorney. While Ollie turns down a plea bargain from Spencer, he does offer to take a polygraph test in front of Detective Lance.
During another flashback, Ollie is brought in to meet the head of the mercenaries, a man named Edward Fyers. Fyers seems uninterested in Ollie's offer of money and only seems to be interested in Yao Fei's location. After Ollie lies about knowing Fei, Fyers calls in a masked mercenary (who fans know to be the villain Deathstroke) to torture the information out of him.
After being hooked up to the polygraph machine, Ollie admits that he hadn't been alone on the island and tells Detective Lance (and Laurel) that he'd been tortured on the island, but that he had lied about it to keep his family safe. As he does so, a flashback reveals that as he's being tortured, Fei rescues him after a brief fight with Deathstroke. Ollie also tells Lance that he's responsible for Sarah's death when asked if he's ever murdered anyone. Despite Ollie's performance, Lance isn't convinced and tells Laurel he won't drop the charges.
That night, Ollie's party goes forward as planned. It's your typical CW affair filled with a bunch of hotties and liberal alcohol consumption. Ollie asks Diggle to dress up as "the Hood" and stop Leo Meuller in order to convince the cops that he's not the killer. Diggle's not thrilled about being played, but agrees to help him out. After Diggle leaves, Laurel arrives and asks to see Ollie's scars. The sight of Ollie shirtless makes her instant hot for him, leading the two to make out briefly before Laurel runs off.
While Ollie's hooking up with his ex, Diggle successfully breaks up Mueller's attempt to sell automatic rifles to gangbangers. After learning that his head of security has died in a mysterious car wreck, Walter confronts his wife about the boat wreckage. Moira seems to be surprised about their employee's death, but insists that Walter mind his own business before he gets hurt.
Back at Queen Manor, Barrowman's thug tries to kill Ollie. Although Ollie puts up a good fight, the thug manages to get his gun and is about to shoot him before he's shot by Detective Lance. Lance had found out about the disappearance after the thug broke Ollie's ankle bracelet. Quickest response time ever.
Lance drops the charges against Ollie, explaining that there was a Hood sighting. However, Laurel discovers that Ollie had blipped during a question about Iron Heights, leading her to suspect that he was controlling his reactions all along. Ollie convinces her that he's far too damaged from his experience on the island to vigilante, although it brings about Laurel affirming that she can never get back together with Ollie. Ever. A final flashback reveals that Ollie was also abandoned by Fei, who trapped him in their cave after giving him a small pouch in order to draw the mercenaries away from him.
The episode ends with Walter leaving town for a while, obviously upset at his wife's lies, despite her warning Barrowman to leave her family alone. Also, Laurel picks up her drunk father at the bar and Ollie tells Diggle that he cares that his lies hurts his family. Oh, and Ollie suits up and takes down Mueller once and for all.
So that's this week's episode. Lots happened. I'm tired, so we'll talk more about it next week. Check out Arrow Annotations tomorrow.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Wednesday, the Boy Scouts of America honored 7th grader Jonathan Beck with a trophy almost as tall as he is. He sold more than $22,000 worth of popcorn for the Boy Scouts annual fundraiser, more than any other scout in the country.
Business to business and door to door with letters and phone calls and one box at a time, Jonathan Beck sold enough popcorn to fill a tractor trailer. That's more than $22,000 worth of popcorn to support his Boy Scout troop.
Jonathan sold more than the rest of his troop combined, which organizers say is quite a feat when the average scout sells about $250 of popcorn. "I put in quite a bit of time. I'd come in after school and just kind of call everybody, write the letters," said Beck.
"Jonathan won't take no for an answer, but he does it in a very calm way and he's very accommodating to people. He has a high credibility factor and he just continues to ask," said Chuck Smith who organizes sales for the troop.
Even Jonathan didn't realize how much popcorn he'd sold until he found out he earned the title of top seller in the country. He has this advice for future salesmen like himself, "Persevere, and if someone says no, just keep moving on and just give it your best the whole time."
Jonathan also received scholarships and prizes for his popcorn sales success.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
This is a subjective question, as how good the healer needs to be depends on how well geared the tank and dps are. The lower the dps of the group the longer the fights take and more healing is required.. the lower the level of the tank's gear the more damage he/she will take and more healing is required. I've been into heroics with raid-geared tanks who barely take a scratch and I can get away with the occasional HoT to keep him topped off.. other times the tank has been in quest blues and each pull is a life-or-death race to keep him alive before the next hit lands.
If you've done all your end-of-level quests for the good rewards, done a fair share of the normal dungeons, and obtained a couple of rep rewards with factions like KirinTor and Wyrmwrest temple, you should be fine to head into heroics. Start with the easier ones, like Nexus, Culling of Strat, Violet Hold etc. And in no time you'll be filling out slots with tasty conquest and valor gear.

NASH | North American Society of Homeopaths Member Directory
Adrianna HolmanRSHom(NA)
I studied in the UK on a three year full time course and graduated in 2000, completing my registration with the Society of Homeopaths straight after. I have worked full time since then in London in several clinics, including London Bridge Hospital, a private hospital, working in the Oncology department. Homeopathy was used as a support for patients undergoing chemotherapy, to help with the resulting sickness and lethargy. I worked in an integrated clinic alongside top medical staff in London as well as being associated with Neal's Yard Remedies, a long standing herbal company in the UK.
We moved to the US last fall and I took a break from consulting to get settled. Now we're rooted and I am interested in getting a business together here in Boulder, as complementary and alternative healing methods are very popular.
In addition to Homeopathy, I am a licensed Massage Therapist and completed a University degree in Nutritional Medicine.

Quick Dawn update: Gravity assist indeed went well
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla
There's been no press release on how Dawn's recent flyby of Mars went, so finally I inquired at JPL for an update. Marc Rayman provided the following: "The gravity assist went perfectly. We will have the final navigation reconstruction near the end of this week, but the preliminary results show that the spacecraft's trajectory was extremely close to our predictions. Now it is great to have Mars behind us and Vesta now ever more clearly ahead."
Marc's usual Dawn Journal is due in only a few days, so we should have lots more detail shortly.

Battles | 'Dross Glop 1'
Today, Battles announced the first installment of their four-part 12" remix series Dross Glop, due out on February 6. Featuring stellar remixes from Gui Boratto and The Field, Dross Glop 1 sets the bar high, and given that no announcements have yet been made regarding who might yet be on the roster for the remaining three releases, it's pretty fair to expect some surprises.

The Urban League of Greater Dallas fired one person and suspended three others after a video from a conservative activist reportedly showed the workers encouraging health care applicants to lie.
An edited video was released Monday that seemingly shows so-called health care Navigators encouraging people to lie on forms signing up for health care to get better rates.
The video was released by Project Veritas, which was started by conservative activist James O'Keefe. O'Keefe gained notoriety for videos in 2009 that eventually brought down ACORN. O'Keefe and three others were arrested in 2010 and later pleaded guilty to entering federal property, Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu's office, on false pretenses. A 2011 video targeting NPR resulted in the resignation of the organization's CEO.
The Urban League said in a statement on Tuesday it "does not condone, nor would we ever sanction, misleading the public or any individual who seeks our assistance about any issue, and particularly in this case, an issue as critical as health care."
The Urban League said the person fired was a "part-time receptionist trainee" who was not authorized to speak on behalf of The Urban League or act as a Navigator and said it supports decertifying three "Navigators-in-training" in the video.
The Urban League also called for the unedited video of the incidents to be released. It said the undercover applicants were told the people they were speaking to were Navigators-in-training and "the full context of these comments is not reflected in the video."
Two Texas politicians said the video showed problems with the new health care law.
Senator John Cornyn called for the Navigators program to stop after he saw the video.
"This behavior is unacceptable, and is yet another broken piece of a deeply flawed system," Cornyn said in a statement.
A spokesman for Texas Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott said the news about the health care law continues to get worse.
"The Obamacare Navigator program is ripe for abuse," the spokesman said.

Is there nanotech in your sun block?
In June, the FDA announced some long-awaited new rules for sunscreen.

Pthalates pose danger to babies in the womb
A lot of pregnant moms-to-be are steering clear of plastic these days. A new study suggests they've got good reason to do so.

Girls with higher exposure levels also tested lower for mental skills as toddlers […] [Read More]
Why are endocrine-disrupting antibacterials still on the shelves?
