Please, Please, Please make it like the one in Gig Harbor on Burnham Drive!
No Just Kidding: Honestly, do not make it anything like the ones in Gig Harbor (at least the ones off Burnham Drive); I only say this because they should require season passes to Disneyland, a BAH of .15 and a slide rule to navigate.
I mean the whole point of a turnaround is simplicity. Right?
Who the hell thought a four lane turn around was a good idea?
Come on folks, I am all for creating jobs, but really?
Honestly, engineers are usually really smart people, but man, when I want a quick trip to London?
Yes you guessed it. I head for Burnham Drive.
It hurts me to say this because I really like engineers, but geeze, I don't think an engineer or group of engineers on copious quantities of LSD could possibly design anything worse.
So it is wonderful that Silverdale is getting a turn around.
But, please, please remember: Function Follows Form, and Form Follows Function.
Or more simply and appropriately put this Valentine's Day:
Keep It Simple Stupid.
Not sure what your problem is on Burnham Drive? I use this one daily and traffic normally flows very well. There are a few idiots that still haven't learned how to use a roundabout properly, and maybe you are one of them?

First comfort women. Now forced labor. Nearly seven decades after Japan's occupation of South Korea ended — and nearly half a century after Tokyo thought it had settled all wartime claims with Seoul — South Korean courts are handing aging victims a string of legal victories, as the troubled history between the two countries becomes a growing source of tension undermining modern bilateral relations.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in 2011 sparked broad debate on radiation, health and safety. Fukushima Watch contributes to that debate, with sharp, easy-to-understand commentary on things nuclear and energy-related in Japan.
Japan Real Time is a newsy, concise guide to what works, what doesn't and why in the one-time poster child for Asian development, as it struggles to keep pace with faster-growing neighbors while competing with Europe for Michelin-rated restaurants. Drawing on the expertise of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires, the site provides an inside track on business, politics and lifestyle in Japan as it comes to terms with being overtaken by China as the world's second-biggest economy.

Grant Ward is a specialist working for S.H.I.E.L.D.. He also acts as Agent Phil Coulson's second-in-command, and the supervising officer of agent-in-training Skye.
Agent Ward is a gruff, anti-socializing man in his early 30s. He is talented at his jobs, but not as great as getting along with his coworkers nor is he very skilled at interpersonal relations. He has lots of experience in the field and takes his job extremely seriously. Later on in the season you will see that he does not do well with emotion. Ward has a strong moral foundation and is not without his charm. He is a man of few words, but always cool under fire and ready for action. Ward is fiercely loyal, and would willingly give up his life for S.H.I.E.L.D.[1] He also has a thing for board games.
Early LifeEdit
Grant's brother used to beat the crap out of him and his younger brother for the slightest thing, such as eating a piece of his birthday cake, so Grant had to learn how to defend himself. It is shown in "The Well" that once Grant's little brother was thrown into a well by Grant's older brother. His younger brother screams and cries for Grant to throw him a rope so he can get out, however Grant's older brother tells him "you throw the rope down, and I'll throw you in with him!" His older brother leaves and Grant throws the rope down to his drowning little brother.

Parents or grandparents with kids interested in college probably already have an idea of what is required to make it happen, but according to one high school principal, lots of students are in the dark about it.
For example, they don't have a clue as to how to apply for a college loan or grant.
So, that principal has invented a board game to prepare kids for college.
"My fifth-grade students can tell you the difference between duel credit and AP classes," said Elizabeth Venegas, a fifth-grade teacher at Gloria Hicks Elementary. "Understanding the baccalaureate program, and what's important."
It's called "College Ready, the Game." It is a board game that helps students ages eight and up learn the college lingo, everything they will need to apply for college scholarships and what it will take to get them there.
Ray High School Principal Cissy Reynolds-Perez came up with idea after years of listening to students who did not have a clue of what to do to get to college after high school.
"When I'd ask some of them 'what is your class rank?' or 'what is your GPA?', some know it and some have no clue," Reynolds-Perez said.
Reynolds-Perez' brainchild emerged from simple drawings to an impressively illustrated and detailed board, complete with rules, play money and an ultimate winner.
"And so I thought, if they're familiar as young as that age with some of this lingo, then they're not so embarrassed to ask when they're a teenager," Reynolds-Perez said.
The principal said she has received calls about her game from schools all over the country, and Corpus Christi Independent School District administrators love it.
"We want to make sure that we put it in the hands of kids that need it," Reynolds-Perez said. "It's not about trying to make money off of it. It's trying to get this into children's hands that wouldn't get it."

Sleepy's Soothes Shopper Environment With Mood Media's In-store Media Solutions
In-store media specialist to provide music, messaging and specialist technology to more than 700 retail showrooms
CHARLOTTE, NC, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Mood Media Corporation (TSX:MM/ LSE AIM:MM), the leading in-store media specialist, has won a contract to supply mattress retailer Sleepy's with in-store music and messaging for more than 700 retail showrooms across the United States.
The music consultants at Mood Media have developed custom playlists for use in-store comprised of major label artists. Popular Pop and Rock hits will give the in-store soundtrack familiarity, and it will be updated regularly to stay on top of music trends.
Targeted in-store messaging will broadcast across Sleepy's store network, which allows Sleepy's to offer its vendors a way to promote their brands. Sponsored vendor messages are store specific, enabled by Mood Media's Internet enabled media player, a great communications tool to broadcast promotions and drive sales at the point-of-purchase. With Mood Media's proprietary and PCI compliant Internet-delivery media platform, any message or song can be updated across the network of stores within 15 minutes.
Further to the revenue Sleepy's may generate from vendor sponsored messaging, Mood Media's sister company Mood Entertainment will supply custom branded compilation CD's available for resale in select stores, which will provide an additional revenue stream for Sleepy's at each of their stores. "At Sleepy's we pride ourselves on delivering great value to our customers and as such we expect the same in return from our partners. Mood Media was the one company that demonstrated that they understood our philosophy and objectives. They went out of their way to make us happy" said Angelo Volonakis, Director Planning, Design & Construction at Sleepy's." The features of the Media Player provided by Mood Media were an important consideration for Sleepy's. The players are reliable and energy efficient; sit securely on Sleepy's IT infrastructure and use network bandwidth efficiently. Most updates are automatically scheduled at night when network traffic is low, but when updates are made during business hours the player will limit the amount of bandwidth used and can preferentially update messages first so that updates don't conflict with business-critical network traffic.Select the service that is right for you!

McALESTER —
Plans for the new CVS Pharmacy were the topic of Tuesday's meeting of the McAlester Planning Commission.
The commission met for a regular meeting in Council Chambers at McAlester City Hall.
The new building will be constructed at the north-west intersection of Strong Avenue and Carl Albert Boulevard, according to Mark Emmons commission chairman.
City Manager Pete Stasiak said the company is seeking to replat four lots into one.
Stasiak said it's a common request in other areas just not in McAlester.
"This will basically marry the lots together," Stasiak said. "And makes it easier if they need to do something to the property."
The legal description according to the agenda is "Replat of Lot 4, Block 325 and Lots 4,5, and 6, Block 326."
The commission unanimously approved the change.
Chairman Mark Emmons said the final approval will be decided by the McAlester City Council at its next meeting on March 12.
Also present at Tuesday's meeting was Chairman Mark Emmons, and members Robert Way, Karl Scrifes, Harvey Bollinger, Karen Stoubaugh, Denise Lewis, Primus Moore, Ross Eaton, Justin Few and John McNally.
The commission meets the third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. The meetings are open to the public.

Types of Women's Bags:
Clutches:- Women generally carry a clutch when going out for the evening or to a special occasion such as a formal party, wedding or a date. Strapless, these purses must be carried under the woman's arm or in her hand. Since these bags are small, they only hold the absolute essentials such as a small wallet, keys and cell phone. Minaudiere clutches consist of a hard case, often adorned with beads or crystals. An envelope clutch resembles an envelope with a pointed flap that opens and closes the purse
- Named after an old fashioned school satchel, satchel handbags have a rectangular shape and a flat bottom so they don't easily tip over and spill. A snap or zipper usually functions as a closure on the top of the purse. Women can purchase small satchel bags or large satchel bags to suit their lifestyles. Women carry a satchel bag using double top handles. Convertible satchels can be carried by the handles or over her shoulder using a longer strap
Cross Body Bags:
- Cross body bags allow a woman's hands to remain free to talk on her cell phone or finger through a rack of clothes. Cross body bags generally run on the small side. A long strap allows a woman to wear this bag diagonally across her body so she doesn't have to worry about holding her purse or the purse slipping off her shoulder as she goes about her day
- Tote bags work great for days at the beach, picnics or any other occasion when a woman has to carry a lot of items. These large bags usually features double handles and an open top that does not snap or zip shut providing easy accesse
How to Organize a Shoulder Bag:
Shoulder bags are convenient because they can hold just about everything. However, they're also inconvenient because they can hold just about everything -- which sometimes makes it impossible to find what you need. The right organization system can help keep everything straight- Decide what size bag you really need. You may need to carry only keys, a wallet and a cell phone. Others may need a larger bag to accommodate a bottle of water, a hair brush, cosmetic case, mp3 player or camera
- Select a shoulder bag with several compartments. Put the items you use multiple times daily (car keys, for instance) in one pocket that is easily accessible. Put items you use only occasionally (like a subway map) in another pocket
- If your bag has built-in "sleeve organizers" in the lining, use them for your larger items such as sunglasses and pens
- Never keep your wallet in an external pocket or near the top of an unclasped bag. Instead, keep it in a pocket that has its own zipper, and wear your bag in a fashion that keeps that pocket close to your body
- Keep your camera, cell phone and other electronic devices with sensitive screens in a place free from keys and other hard metal objects, which could damage them. It's best to keep each of those items in its own protective case

Four Red Flags to Watch Out For During Interviews
December 6th, 2013The candidate across the table from you is clearly a winner. Her resume is impressive, and so far, this interview is going well. She smiles politely, sits up straight, and obviously she has a lot to offer—If she didn't, she would never have stepped past fifty other applicants in order to make it to this stage. She's professional, polished, and well-spoken. And you expected nothing less. You still have five interviews scheduled over the next few days, but at this point, the job is hers to lose.
…Until you notice one of the four red flags listed below. If your terrific candidate shows any of these questionable quirks, take a closer look before you make a formal offer.
1. Your candidate gets angry. Unless you deliberately provoke your interviewees by baiting or bullying them, there's no reason any employable person should show visible signs of anger or hostility during an interview. (And here's a hint: You should not be baiting or bullying your candidates.) Monitor your own language carefully and conduct yourself with professionalism and respect, and as you do this, expect your candidates to do the same. If they don't, they're out.
2. Your candidate is easily confused by simple questions and simple requests. Lots of highly intelligent people are extremely literal and tend to struggle with metaphors and expressions. And lots of highly intelligent people are easily flustered, forgetful, nervous, or scattered. But if your candidate has trouble following simple directions or stringing simple ideas together, as intelligent as he may be, he'll probably be very hard to work with. If you're fine with this, proceed. If not, think twice.
3. Your candidate can't or won't tell you why he left his last position. If your candidate is unwilling to discuss the subject, even in response to a direct question, that's a problem. And if he dances around the issue, making excuses and blaming others for whatever went wrong, that's even worse.
4. You catch her in an obvious lie. Don't aggressively cross-examine your candidates or question their assertions. Take them at their word. But if your interviewee makes a statement that clearly opposes reality or runs counter to a claim on her resume, that's a bad sign. This can be crushingly awkward for everyone in the room, but if both you and your candidate survive the moment (which of course you will), your next move is clear…Keep searching.
For more on the red flags and positive signs you should be looking out for during your interview process, reach out to the Des Moines staffing experts at the Palmer Group.

Open Sesame | 15 | |
Dispel 50 wards. |
Wards can be found throughout the world. They are found as glowing purple objects. You will play a mini-game where a cursor will loop around a ring and you must time hitting the button as the cursor goes over the top of the runes in places. As the runes get more difficult you must time your rune activation to be in flow as some runes offer less time until they deactivate. You'll also have to avoid the red runes or it will fail. Invest a few points into the Dispelling skill to make this a bit easier. |
