APA Interview Tips
1. Be yourself. Your task is not simply to get the job you're interviewing for, it's to find a suitable place to begin your career. So give the search committee an accurate sense of who they'd be hiring (or declining to hire). Attempts to chisel yourself into what you think the committee wants almost always backfire. Why would you want to be hired by a department that thinks you're something you're not?
2. If you haven't read it, don't say you have. The surest way to undermine your chances at getting an on campus is to be caught in a lie about scholarship. I've seen this happen dozens of times: A colleague asks a candidate if he or she has read some new book or article that's loosely (not centrally) on the topic of the candidate's dissertation. The candidate says that he/she has. The colleague asks a pointed question about the book or article. The candidate backtracks, saying that he or she hadn't read it "carefully" or "only quickly" read the piece. The colleague then asks a more general question about the book or article. The candidate backtracks again. And so it goes…
3. Do your homework. You'll almost certainly be asked whether you have any questions about the institution or department with which you're interviewing. Have some. The internet makes it unbelievably easy to find out about the department or institution. Do it. But, more importantly, knowing about the department you're interviewing with can help you to give better answers to other questions you're asked. For example, knowing that the department offers three different Ethics courses at the undergrad level can be beneficial when you're asked a question about how you'd teach Ethics.
4. Don't gossip. As amazing as it sounds, I've seen lots of candidates include in their answer to some philosophical question some off handed comment or other about the personal lives of well-know people in the profession, or the prevailing rumors about someone or other's relationship with the other people in his or her home department, and so on. Perhaps candidates think that this kind of thing makes them look like they're in the know or some such. But it really just makes them look unprofessional and petty. Don't do it.
5. No matter what, DO NOT get drunk at the Smoker. Even if you have no intention of visiting the interviewing department's table, even if the interviewing department has no table to visit, even if all the members of the interviewing department have told you they're all leaving the conference directly after your interview, DO NOT be at the Smoker under any kind of impairment.

re 2: On the other hand, I've had my admission that I haven't read a work used against me in an interview. Take away lesson: If someone asks you whether you've read something tangentially related to your research, go on alert. If I had seen it coming, I like to think I would have had the balls to answer the question: "well, as I mentioned to you earlier, I haven't yet had the chance to look at X"

Yes, don't get drunk at the Smoker. I fucked a on-campus interview that way. I had a great interview and they invited me to their table. I got a bit tipsy and met someone at the table of a department who hadn't been at my interview and I did not impress. I found out later he judged I was not a serious philosopher on that meeting.
- December 9, 2011 at 4:19 PM
On 5- what if you're drunk most of the time anyway, and so are worried that if you're not at least a bit drunk you'll not seem normal, or maybe get the shakes? Now doesn't seem like a good time to quit to me.
- December 9, 2011 at 8:56 PM
Anon 8:56
I'd say drink up in that case! Going on job interviews is no time to give up your vices. After quitting for 6 years, I smoked like a chimney both years on the job market and oh yes all the way towards getting tenure too..
p.s. don't smoke on your on-campus interview though -- wait until you've been dropped off for the evening or until a member of the faculty gives you one.
- December 9, 2011 at 9:24 PM
As a job candidate, the only way I survived the Smoker was through drunkenness. Of course, I had hardly any APA interviews to fuck up in the first place.

Regarding point 1, I agree that candidates should be themselves, because, as you rightly point out, "attempts to chisel yourself into what you think the committee wants almost always backfire." This is often because candidates are not in a good position to know what is wanted. Candidates pretty much have nothing but the job ads to go by, but ads are written by committees with the desire to get funding for a position. So sometimes the ads are written to placate the administration or certain minority views of the faculty. Thus, they don't always give an accurate picture of what the interviewing team wants.
So I agree that candidates should be themselves. But I don't know about this: "Your task is not simply to get the job you're interviewing for, it's to find a suitable place to begin your career." If it was a foregone conclusion that one's career is going to have a beginning, then this would be true. But I bet that many candidates fear that their careers may never even begin. That is, they fear that they won't get any job this year and that if they don't get any job this year, there is even less of a chance that they'll get some job next year and so on. This was my fear starting out. Indeed, it came very close to happening.
So you ask, "Why would you want to be hired by a department that thinks you're something you're not?"
The natural answer might be that it's better to get hired by a department that thinks you're something that you're not than it is not to get hired by any department at all.

re 1: You might "want to be hired by a department that thinks you're something you're not" because you are pretty sure it would involve getting hired by a philosophy department. And that typically comes with perks like money and health insurance and not working at Target late at night.
- December 11, 2011 at 9:17 PM
Why would you want to be hired by a department that thinks you're something you're not?
Because that might be the only job you get over the course of five years.
I have yet to meet a tenured or tenure-track faculty member whom I think understands how bad the job market is.
- December 12, 2011 at 4:18 AM
I don't understand the third point. If you know all about the department, then you won't need to ask any questions. Asking questions seems to reveal, therefore, that you've not done your homework.
- December 12, 2011 at 7:37 AM
I don't understand 7:37am. Surely, philosophy teaches us that the more we study something, the more questions emerge.
- December 12, 2011 at 8:31 AM
I would find it helpful to see some examples of questions that candidates should ask at interviews. I've never been able to think of any. The questions that occur to me tend to fall into the following categories:
1. Questions that would only be relevant if I were offered the job, and which it would therefore be presumptuous to ask at the interview, e.g. "Where will my office be?"
2. Questions that I could easily answer for myself by researching on the web, e.g. "Do you offer any courses in medieval logic?"
3. Questions that aren't really questions but just attempts at selling myself, e.g. "Do your students come from diverse backgrounds? Diversity is very important to me."
- December 12, 2011 at 9:27 AM
- Kenny said...
Some questions that might be useful, which you can't really answer from the website:
Do students/faculty from [other nearby university] come to classes/talks/socialize here?
How has the department been dealing with budget cuts from the university - or is the university supporting the philosophy department?
Do people often co-teach classes?
If you find someone interesting on the university website in another department, you might ask if they do much interdisciplinary work.
- December 12, 2011 at 1:57 PM
Thanks for those suggestions, Kenny.
To be honest, I don't see the point of asking any of those questions at the interview. The answers might make some small difference to whether I would accept the job if it were offered to me. But I can ask them later if need be. Why do I need to know the answers at the interview?
Or is the idea that I should ask these questions, not to find out the answer, but for some other purpose, e.g. to demonstrate how interested I am in the job? Surely there are better ways to demonstrate this, e.g. by the answers I give to their questions.
- December 12, 2011 at 3:03 PM
3:03-- good strategy. It will serve you well over several years on the market....
- December 12, 2011 at 10:49 PM
My impression has been that giving the candidate an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the interview is a mere courtesy to the candidate. It is not expected that they will ask questions, and it certainly wouldn't count against them if they declined to ask any. Those of my colleagues who I've consulted share this impression. But I do work in the UK. Could this be another American vs British thing?
- December 13, 2011 at 11:26 AM
I have been on a number of SCs for research schools. I always prefer it when candidates don't waste everyone's time by asking bullshit questions at the end of the interview. It's a courtesy asked by the SC just in case there is something the candidate really has a question, but that's all. At the end of my interviews, when I was on the market, I didn't ask the SCs any questions. Instead, I smiled politely and said "if I am fortunate enough to be invited on campus to interview, I'll probably have plenty of questions, but at this point in the process, I don't have any further questions for you". It didn't hurt my candidacy at all to say that. In fact, they seemed to appreciate a professional but not kiss-ass answer.

So, back to my-now-standard 'have some questions' position:
1) think, folks. You will see some interesting hints on a website or in the College Board info. Does the institution have an astonishing retention rate? Ask them if they know what accounts for that. They might not, but they will be pleased to talk about what a great school it is. (NB: not every program sees itself as an island.) They had a big uptick in majors two years ago; do they know why? They recently changed the curriculum (undergrad or grad); what prompted them to do that, and do they think it s working out well?
2) We DO take it seriously if candidates cannot ask us anything. It suggests that they either did no research or are completely focused n themselves. Again, my first position was at a very highly rated (R1) place. They told me after I was hired that my having some interesting questions about the school and their program made the difference.
3) Yes, it makes for more work. But you only do this for places that want to interview you. Further, it actually has a very nice psychological effect: it gives you a break from wondering how you will do.
An addition to the 5 instructions: Do not tell the SC how you are better than anyone at their institution, in or out of their department.

If a job candidate manages get a job interview, it indicates that the company has at least some attention. Generally, an candidate reacts to an offered job starting, offering a application and other expected components. The company checks all obtained applications, and chooses who should be welcomed back for an interview. In some situations, an initial interview may be presented on the phone call, to save time and resources.

In the wiki section on prime limit tuning, one reads:
p-Limit Tuning. Given a prime number p, the subset of $Q^+$ consisting of those rational numbers x whose prime factorization has the form $ x=p_1^{\alpha_1}\ldots p_r^{\alpha_r}$ with $p_1, \ldots, p_r\leq p$ forms a subgroup of $(Q^+, *)$
We say that a scale or system of tuning uses p-limit tuning if all interval ratios between pitches lie in this subgroup
Notice that for $p=3$ one gets the just tuning version of the usual cycle of fifths (except that its is an infinite scale, there is no cycle here. To get the usual chromatic 12-notes scale people have fudged it via equal temperament)
Because of the fundamental law of the octaves, one does not actually work with the above, but with the quotient spaces given by identifying two notes $q_1$ and $q_2$ differing by a multiple of $2^n$.
Modding out by this equivalence one can work with the "infinite musical scale" $[1, 2]\cap Q$: let us think of $1$ as the DO ( C, if you like ) of the infinite keyboard and 2 as the next DO, and all rationals in-between as the "notes" available.
Now my question (which maybe trivial, maybe not so trivial, I have no clue): if you take a p-prime scale, is it dense in the infinite musical scale? In other words, can I approximate arbitrarily close any rationals in $[0, 1]$ by a suitable element in the p-scale for a fixed p? If not, what is the distribution of the infinite subscale in the infinite keyboard ?
Clearly, the infinite keyboard is the colimit of the intermediate scales, as p goes to infinity. But how does each one "sit" in the higher ones?

County commissioners also discussed the future of the Emergency Response Program with Bay Medical Center Tuesday afternoon.
They unanimously agreed to a two-year contract extension with Bay Medical Center to continue providing EMS services for the county, but Commissioner Mike Thomas included a motion directing staff members to explore the possibility of the county to take over EMS after the two-year contract expires.
Bay Medical's CEO, Steve Johnson, says he would have preferred a four-year commitment to allow the hospital to improve emergency services by updating technology.
"In your own business, if you're looking to make an investment, the payback of those is not going to be two years. That's just not going to happen. There's some issues that may crop up that may have some negative reproductions relative to the service we can provide."
Commissioner Thomas says the county voters already expressed interest in a consolidation of services, and this might be a good place to start.

The colours are good - it would be hard to tell apart from the DP sprite.
Here's an edited version with colours taken from the Sugimori art:
I don't know whether you like those colours better, but I've decided I'm going to use Sugimori art colours - the DP colours (and to a lesser extent, the Advance colours) are too bright in my opinion. Besides, it fits better with the current OW palette. (I'm probably going to have several different OW palettes, used in different parts of the region.)
Also, I've realised I've got the region's geographical location wrong, because I misinterpreted the shape of Johto, and therefore my region overlaps with Johto.
To fix it, I'm just going to modify Johto. I have a sketch of the modified Johto map, which I'm going to scan and go over in the same way as the Shika map.

Transparency? Many of our friends on the far-right of the political spectrum often speak of transparency in government. Well, this practice was tossed aside at the June 27 meeting of the Gaston County commissioners.
Four commissioners reportedly negotiated a behind-the-scenes deal to oust long-term Gaston County Manager Jan Winters. This coalition of politicians, led by Tracy Philbeck, refused to perform this dastardly deed in public session. Instead, they thought it best to intimidate Mr. Winters within the shadows of a closed (executive) session. Although this is perfectly legal, such covert actions are usually shrouded in suspicion and manipulation of the public�s trust.
Kudos to Commissioners Tom Keigher and Joe Carpenter for seeing this event for what it was. These two gentlemen have earned my respect for their use of civil disobedience. They chose to leave the meeting, in an apparent show of disgust for the actions taken by the mob of four. Congratulations, also, to Chairman Mickey Price for voting against the acceptance of Mr. Winters� forced resignation.
In viewing many broadcast meetings of the County Commission, I have always been impressed with Mr. Winters� intelligence, his way of communicating data and facts, and his apparent integrity.
I believe that his departure from Gaston County is a loss � especially in these times of uncertainty. In addition, I believe that the actions of the mob of four are inexcusable. It reeks of hypocrisy and of unprofessionalism. Let�s practice what we preach boys!
In speaking with an absolute stranger about this matter, we came to the same conclusion. The only way for this behavior to be appeased is through the voting booth. Let us not forget the actions of these, our elected officials.

Aussie talent off the pace, highside compounds bad day at the office
JOSH Brookes crashed out of the first day of the official WSBK test and ended the day in 22nd place.
Brookes, who is standing in for John Hopkins, highsided out of MG, opening up an old wound in the processs.
Brookes said on his Twitter feed: "Hard pill to swallow being so slow. Im ok after crash so another chance tomorrow. I feel improvements but lap times don't show it yet"
His time of 1:34.667 was almost three seconds off the quickest time of 1:31.947, set by Carlos Checa. Brookes is expected to race at the opening World Superbike round before returning to England to compete in British Superbikes on the Tyco Suzuki.

Singing Stars: The 22 Best Actor-Musicians
Casey Johnson
6/2/2014 7:00pm EDT
6/2/2014 7:00pm EDT
Glover wrote for 30 Rock before starring in Community, where he became a TV star. Since 2011, however, he's also been known as rapper Childish Gambino. His first album Camp was met with positive reviews, but it has already been outsold by the follow up Because the Internet.
J. Lo started as a Fly Girl dancer on In Living Color, and with a little luck she transformed that into a lengthy film and music career. She had several movies under her belt before her first music release; perhaps her starring role as singer Selena helped her realize the other half of her career. Her first five albums all achieved Platinum certification.

Stay Hydrated on Hot Days
It's no secret - fluids are necessary to beat the heat. As long as you make the right choices, the fluids you consume are second only to oxygen in keeping you alive and well. But what beverages are best? And how much should you drink?
During the summer in Pennsylvania, we live with high heat and humidity so staying hydrated by drinking lots of fluids is key. Plain water is certainly preferable; after all we don't just drink it, we're made of it. Water comprises almost 70 percent of our weight and is critical to functions such as carrying nutrients and oxygen to cells, flushing away waste, and regulating body temperature.
The Institute of Medicine recommends that adult women consume 2.7 liters (91 ounces) of fluids and men consume 3.7 liters (125 ounces) of fluids each day. That means that most of us should be taking in between nine to 13, 8-ounce glasses of water per day—more if it's hot outside and you are active. Although the foods we eat do account for a portion of the fluids we are to consume each day, most of the fluids we consume come from drinking water and other beverages. If you are thinking that nine-13 glasses per day seems like a tall order, here are some tips from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to help you reach your goal:
- Take a drink every time you walk past a water fountain.
- Keep a glass or bottle of water at your desk if you're a "subconscious" sipper.
- If out in hot weather — especially if you are active — drink some water every 15 minutes, if possible.
- Eat solid foods that have a lot of water in them like lettuce, watermelon, broccoli, grapefruit and yogurt.
Of course, water used to be a cheap and efficient way to quench your thirst. In the early 1990's bottled water companies like Evian and Perrier emerged in the market and transformed water from prosaic hydrator to lifestyle beverage. Today, "enhanced" waters are making a splash. Available in a variety of fruit flavors, they are often touted as being full of vitamins, electrolytes and other enhancements.
But do all these "enhancements" really enhance the benefits of water? Health experts say it's important to use discretion when drinking water with anything added to it. Be sure to read labels carefully to evaluate the calories per serving in each container. There are often added calories from sugar or other ingredients.
While the increased consumption of soda tends to get most of the blame for packing on the pounds, the real culprit is the excessive amounts of sugar we consume in all forms of liquid. Whether it is soft drinks, fancy coffees, fruit drinks, lemonade, sweetened tea and now vitamin waters, sweetened drinks have us battling the bulge. With 150 calories in a 12-ounce soda, a soda at lunch and another at dinner adds 300 calories that aren't offset by nutrients.
Drinking sports beverages can also add unwanted calories and is likely unnecessary unless you are taking part in vigorous activity for more than 60 minutes. Plain water is generally the best choice, but if you find the taste of water is too bland, try one of these alternatives:
- calorie-free flavored waters
- carbonated waters
- diet flavor packets added to a bottle of water
- small amount of citrus juice, such as lemon or lime, added to water
Drinking cold water also enhances the taste and will quench your thirst better than soft drinks.

Big 12 preseason power rankings - Big 12 Blog - ESPN
9. Iowa State: The Cyclones nonconference schedule has made plenty of headlines this offseason, and Iowa State isn't shying away from its dates with Northern Illinois, Iowa and Utah. The legal issues surrounding defensive star David Sims appear to be resolved with an opening-game suspension, and running back Alexander Robinson looks ready for another big season after rushing for over 1,000 yards in his 2009 breakout season. Iowa State will need to steal a few games like last season to qualify for a second consecutive bowl game.
Can't argue. We're clearly going to be better than last year, yet it may not show up in the standings.
honestly, not bad analysis, I like us at 9th. although I question the KSU and aTm rankings, that puts us in an honest scrap in the middle of the pack and 3rd/4th in Big XII north
John Walters is my hero
K-State is real high
The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.
seems about right. i am surprised to see missouri ahead of texas a&m. does anyone know how good mizz is supposed to be? 9-3? Or not that good...

I haven't kept track of experts' take on Mizzou, but I have them ahead of A&M, at 9-3 and 5-3 (I have A&M in the 6-6/3-5 area, but I probably have that projected too low).
I could see Missouri challenging for the division title, but would probably have to beat NU and get it on tiebreaker.
Bass Lake Beacon: The best in local news satire
seems about right as far as ISU is concerned.
its a pretty fair assessment of everyone i think. isu and osu are pretty interchangable, and so are tech and kstate
It seems like a pretty reasonable analysis.
Oklahoma State seems a little low, A&M & KSU a tad too high. It's probably a good take on the relative power of the teams, but maybe not so much the projected record.
If you look at the conference schedules, it seems like Tech & OSU could finish ahead of A&M by a game. But a few swing games will make a huge difference with KSU (OSU, ISU, for example).
It appears it could be competitive between Nos. 4 and 10. Hope ISU can lift itself to the high side of the mid-pack, at least.
Mizzou has to go to Nebraska, ISU, A&M and Tech and also gets a visit from Oklahoma. It's going to be tough sledding for them in the Big 12, if they win the North they'll have earned it
ABC - Always Be Closing
I see about 5 wins for K-State...does that get you the #6 power ranking? A team with a QB battle (of 3 so-so QB's, which is never good) who did not get into a bowl game last year?
This is how I have them finishing after projecting the schedule ...
Nebraska 6-2 (10-3)
Missouri 4-4 (8-4)
Kansas State 3-5 (7-5)
Iowa State 3-5 (5-7)
Kansas 1-7 (4-8)
Colorado 1-7 (3-9)
Oklahoma 8-0 (13-0)
Texas 6-2 (10-2)
Texas Tech 6-2 (10-2)
Texas A&M 6-2 (9-3)
Oklahoma State 2-6 (6-6)
Baylor 2-6 (5-7)
If a ranked them based on end of the season record, I'd go like this ...
1. Oklahoma
2. Texas
3. Nebraska
4. Texas Tech
5. Texas A&M
6. Missouri
7. Kansas State
8. Oklahoma State
9. Iowa State
10. Baylor
11. Kansas
12. Colorado

I have K State going 7-5
Winning at home vs. UCLA
Beating Missouri State
Losing to ISU in KC
Winning at home vs. UCF
Losing at home to Nebraska
Winning at KU
Winning at Baylor
Losing to OSU
Losing at Mizzou
Beating North Texas
I see the swing games as (UCLA, ISU, KU, BU and OSU)
I have them going 3-2 in those games.

I wanted to pick Mizzou higher also, but they have a tough conference schedule ...
AT Texas A&M
vs. Oklahoma
AT Nebraska
AT Texas Tech
... that's 4 straight weeks beginning October 16. I have them losing all four.

I. Introduction
This short extract gives you a taste of the personal "Child's Horoscope" by Liz Greene. The small samples taken from various chapters convey an impression of the complete horoscope (18-25 pages) which can be ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound book in the AstroShop.Most parents long to provide their children with the best they can offer on every level. But what is "the best"? The birth horoscope of a child is a map of patterns and potentials which exist in that child from the moment of birth. Encouragement of these potentials in childhood can help a child to develop greater confidence and hope for a future which is more authentically his or her own, so that greater happiness and fulfillment are possible later in life. II. Your Child's Psychological Type
In this concise chapter Liz Greene describes the child's general temperament and his characteristic approach to life.The rich array of individual abilities and potentials portrayed in René's birth horoscope is set against the background of an inherent temperament bias which may be partly hereditary but is also the reflection of a mysterious essence which belongs to him alone. This mysterious "something" is already at work within René, helping him to develop his personality along the lines which are healthiest and most natural to him. [..] There is a deep vulnerability and emotional intensity in him which may often be in conflict with his desire to preserve harmony, clarity and fairness both within himself and in the world outside. In contrast to his precociously sophisticated mind, his emotions tend to be [...] III. The Characters in the Story
This is one of the most comprehensive chapters of the "Child's Horoscope". This short version touches only on a few of the central characters in your child's personality. The complete report provides a detailed description on 7-9 pages.The tension between the main characters in René's inner story is the source of energy which provides the impetus for growth, movement and the formation of a healthy individuality. [..] Whatever the financial or social circumstances into which he was born, he is by nature devoid of intolerance and clannishness. Even if family members try to instill narrower values into him, he will shrug them off as he grows older and comes in contact with a wider world. He will [...] [..] In early childhood this may be reflected by a close attentiveness to every parental mood and expression, as though he were an actor learning his cues. As he grows older, he may constantly ask parents, siblings and friends what they think should he wear this pair of shoes, [...] Hidden traits [..] Even without any attempt on the part of parents to restrain these more powerfully self-centred impulses, René will very likely suppress them himself because of his fear of alienation from loved ones. Yet if he buries such feelings, he may be subject to bouts of severe restlessness [...] IV. Emotional Needs and Patterns in Relationships
This chapter contains valuable information on the child's basic needs and the relationship with his parents. The complete horoscope covers this chapter on 5-6 pages.Every child has particular ways in which he or she experiences and seeks emotional contact with others, and this may not always accord with other, more dominant personality traits. [..] There is no meanness in his heart, but his way of relating may sometimes seem to be a one-way street he performs, leads, and inspires and others follow and tell him how wonderful he is! René's impulsive and somewhat demanding emotional nature may sometimes be a little [...] [..] But honesty, forthrightness and a willingness to make decisions and take responsibility for them are attributes which René will look for in his father, and it is important that his father makes some effort to express them. If this parent is caught in domestic or work circumstances [...] V. Fears and Insecurities
Knowing about their child's fears can help parents to react with love and understanding in challenging situations. The child's main fears and insecurities are described on 2-3 pages in the full report.VI. Looking toward the future
Many parents wonder about the future of their child. Every child has his own way to develop his potential. What this means for the individual child is described on 2-3 pages in chapter six of the complete Child's Horoscope.Appendix
These small samples from different chapters convey an impression of the Child's Horoscope which comprises 18 - 25 pages. It can be ordered as an E-Horoscope or bound booklet in the Astroshop. Please read a complete sample report (of a different person) to get an overview of the extent of the complete horoscope.You may wish to take a look at the range of our reports.

Farewell Dinner
All the meals aboard this ship have been fancy three course meals, but tonight's dinner is a fantastic celebration. In the calm waters of the Beagle Channel, the dinning room is full of laughter. A man from Korea entertains us with songs.
OH!!! I've never talked about the amazing diversity on board. All ages of people are on this vessel. There's the Hong Kong film crew, a brilliant medical group from Canada, a newly married couple from Eastern Europe and a whole group of recently retired people from Switzerland. There is a photographer from Ireland, a journalist from England and two travel agents from Germany and Sweden. There are a few Argentineans, Chileans and at least one guy's from Bolivia I believe. Then there is the Korean couple who have entertained us the entire trip! The guy singing songs in a boisterous voice as we waited in line for the zodiacs. He could sing almost anything. His wife made us all laugh. Video camera in the right hand with photo camera in the left...ALWAYS. I don't think she saw much of the trip except through her lens. She taped the lectures, the dinners, EVERY minute. And tonight was no exception. She somehow had gotten a hold of a third camera and was operating all three at once!!! These are just some of the people from the boat.
Emails are being exchanged and at times it feels like a strobe light is going off with the amount of photos being taken. Sharing in a glass a wine, people talk about their favorite moments as well as what they will do when they get back home. Two people have found romance on this trip, although I doubt it will work considering they live on different continents. The diversity of this group strikes me. We have so much we can learn from each other. I hope to stay in contact with at least a few of them.

After I installed the Akismet plug in (stats / antispam), an irritating box is ruining my lay out.
Is there a way to hide or remove that Akismet box? I tried to put it in a div with a

The marine life at the Long Island Aquarium in Riverhead has a new friend.
A small alligator was caught Monday at Great Rock Golf Club in Wading River, according to animal control officers in Suffolk County. The small gator was taken to the aquarium and will be used to "educate people," animal control said.
The number of alligators caught on Long Island over the past week now stands at four, officials said.
The most recent sighting came Wednesday when for the second day in a row an alligator was spotted walking in the parking lot of a Pathmark in Baldwin.
And just one week ago, Suffolk police captured a baby alligator crawling in a front yard of a Mastic Beach home. A Moriches Drive resident notified police after he spotted the gator in his flowerbed, police said.
On Wednesday, the Nassau County SPCA offered a $2,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the person who may be releasing the reptiles.

Don't believe in Rehoboth election lies
As the high caloric municipal election season hits Rehoboth Beach, I am writing to warn voters and solicit candidates to avoid misinformation from the group the Washington Post once dubbed the "Swift Boat Realtors."
We remember bogus cards allegedly from the city commissioners mailed from a local Realtor office; weird anonymous letters personally attacking Patrick Gossett and Bill Sargent; a letter to the editor calling a well known citizen "Hitler;" and the letter from a fictitious person in Allentown, Pa. accusing Mayor Sam Cooper of being un-American.
Fox News fact checking prevails! Vote your heart and the future of what you believe in for Rehoboth Beach, not lies, spred mostly from people who do not live here.

So far I've found 5 mob types weakness or whatever you call it (only way to kill them effectively) with proper debuffs I was able to do 50dmg (frontal) to one mob type, the others 30ish frontal. Now they were hardly soloable but still profitable. Granted I've only tried 6 mob types so far. One of these mob types was doable with piercing/slashing dmg. Now my 2-4 man pve groups fight quite differently than before and you can die insanely quick to caster mobs and it seems all mobs run faster than you and sticky for 5-6 seconds at a time.
My suggestions are as follows:
1. Make them have some sort of a limit on their mana/stam usage. It should be possible to run them out of mana/stam or drain it effectively.
2. Make them follow the same cooldown rules that are set for the players.
3. Make them not almost totally invulnerable to most damage types. (i.e. 1 weakness, 6-7 varying moderate protections, 1-2 invuln or close to, would be good enough) .
4. Make sure there is a good balance between mobs you can kill solo or that a group is needed. (that way no one is totally left out)
5. Adjust loot tables more to fit what kind of needed effort/expenses are taken to kill said monster.
6. Make slashing/bludge arrows. Make transmuted weapons do only the elemental dmg. Add Holy/necro ect dmg transmutes to all weapon types. Try to add in melee weapons that do different damage types than the norm (i.e. axes that do pierce or bludge, polearms that do pierce/bludge ect ect. )
7. Give debuff bolt spells the same aoe radius as the r50 elemental bolts.
Now I'm not saying that the PVE is totally broken. I by all means haven't tried enough mob types/spawns to know the whole picture yet. It could all be fine but so far seems to be a little off but not by what everyone here is making it out to be. My group has made approx 80k in 2 days, about 20kish each depending on who showed up more/less. While its not what most of us are used to, its doable. probably 3-4ish hours total.
I'm not a new player and I basically am a mediocre player with decent EU transfer statistics. 320hp, good magic, max archery skills, 75+ melee mastery, 2nd melee mastery.

The past have taught us that the ones that scream, cry and write the most threads in multi-color gets the most attention.

PvE needs to be easier. I want to be able to solo PvE the mats/money I need for PvP. Feel I'm using more to take them down that i gain from them even though I am using the right dmg on them and buffing myself against their type of dmg.
I hope you Devs take PvE feedback seriously. In couple days I have and many of my friends have logged off out of frustration several times. I'm affraid we/Darkfall will start loosing players soon...
...time to fix PvE is now.
This of course doesn't undermine the fact that some mobs have to be nerfed, and their loot should be increased.
How about fixing the old bugs first befor u bring more bugs in ? FFS bag bug is dtill there and the vitality ahivement bug is still there unreal . and now they made the mobs on steroids .. /quit
Weaponsmithing mastery skillgain is bugged after the patch.I just crafted 1 rank 60 and 4 rank 50 2 handed weapons and received a total skill gain of 0.10 from 68.84 to 68.93,
It seems the bonus to crafting high level weapons has been taken out or bugged out somehow.

Dont Mess with the Best.AKA The Legend/King of the Dwarves/The most famous player in DF history.
'You are too high in maintenance and generally disruptive.' Celiah Ailey on GM
1) Easy Mob really too hard ( newbie have no chance to fight them )
2)Hardest mob...ok they will need now a group but for this just for a poor loot? so better do PVP in this case
Actually do harder MOB have no sense cost more using your reags, armor, weapon and arrows thats what you can have in the loot of them
3)Loot as mentioned is really poor specially on gold and this will demotivate pvm so is easy to see easy monster full of skilled character just killing them to skill a bit more and no one in the harders.
In the past there were many spawns that would break.
The mobs would get stuck in place, and as long as you kept one alive you could farm the others at will.
Out exploring you'd stumble into these locations all over the world. Same camps daily.
These mobs would still attack forward.
I was looking forward to people actually having to fight mobs properly.
Now these mobs have been broken even worse and there's 2x's as many broken camps. They don't even attack forward, and you can kill all the mobs, and they stay broken.... and mostly drop double the loot.
Add that to your list... I love the PvE now fyi..aside from the broken mobs.
People who exploit killed in the past, just don't have the skills to fight the new mobs. They are weaker minded people otherwise known as QQérs or carebears. Mobs always have a weakness... you gotta find it! SOmetimes they just aren't soloable.
Oh..and wtf is up with sandscarabs and archery..... arrows go right through em...not even a 0 damage is registered!
I am not an officer in DWFA! From me you'll get the point of view of someone who knows nothing!
Just "Don't Watchme Fuck Achmed" and eveything will be OK!
THANK GOD.. read the new post by tasos..
Expansion Follow-up
Today scheduled maintenance will be postponed until later (to around 4PM GMT) so that we can also issue a small patch.
We've been following player feedback from the expansion, we've also been playing the game ourselves and we're working on understanding all the issues and addressing them. We can tell you right now that we're already working on fixing things and re-balancing others and we should be patching almost every day this week until everything is addressed.
This was a huge expansion with major changes to the game and there were bound to be issues. We're grateful for the feedback and all your efforts, we want to assure you that we'll keep monitoring the situation closely.
We'd like to also inform you that there have been issues with Canadian ISP SHAW making it impossible for their customers to access our servers. These issues are being resolved as we speak in cooperation with our iSP GNi.
We'll come back to you with more information on everything we'll be doing in the following days.

I used Almost Amethyst cardstock as the base, a CHF backgrounder was stamped with Almost Amethyst ink. I then adhered a strip of argyle PP on the bottom of the card. The ribbon was wrapped around the card and then I added the top ribbon layers. This is a technique seen on Nichole Heady's blog. That woman is a genious, isn't she?!
Lastly, I added the sentiment from PTI's Spiral Bouquet, it's stamped with Lace of Lavender ink.
Ok, so did all of you order everything from Paper Trey's release? I ended up with the Polka Dot stamp set and the paper/ ribbon/ ink combos. The polka dot set was the only one really calling out to me this time around.
We ended up at O'Charley's for dinner last night as the wait for a table at Olive Garden was tooooo long. So, we still ended up with a great dinner, but NOT what we really wanted. Cody ate everything on his plate, a rarity for sure. And, we went straight to bed when we got home. We are such boring people!!
Work will be quiet today, as both my bosses are out of the office!! Yippee!!! Hope the day goes by rather quickly and I can get home to start my weekend. Tomorrow, I think that Cody and I will head to Pigeon Forge to the LSS to get a few things and then home to play with my new stamps, inks, and punches. Today is the first that I have had that I actually felt like getting out of bed since I have been sick. I may finally be ridding myself of this "crud", hallelujah!

Police: Aerosol huffing call led to stolen property
A report of rowdy people huffing from an aerosol can Tuesday night led Wilkes-Barre police to uncover a cache of stolen property, according to court documents.
Police were called to the area of North Meade Street and New Market Street about 11:05 p.m. Tuesday for a report of three people huffing from a can and shouting in the street.
Officers arrived to find three men with skateboards standing in the road wearing dark hoodies. They found Michael A. Kostelnick, 20, of Plains Township in possession of a 12-ounce aerosol can of Ultra Duster, a compressed air duster, according to police. Officers asked Kostelnick, whose nose was red and inflamed, if he had any other aerosol cans and he indicated he did not, saying, "You can check," according to a police affidavit.
Officers searched his backpack and did not find any aerosol cans, but did find a PlayStation 3 game in a plastic security case and seven DVDs in their original wrapping, according to the affidavit. Also in Kostelnick's possession were two packs of hot dogs, two Starbucks drinks, Light Bars, and a T-shirt, police said.
Police contacted officials at Walmart and confirmed the property, with a combined value of $145, had been stolen.
Kostelnick was charged with possessing stolen property, possessing a solvent to release toxic vapors, inhaling toxic-releasing substances and public drunkenness, according to court records.
Police sought to have Kostelnick's mother pick him up, but she told officers he does not live at the home. Kostelnick was instead booked at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility with bail set at $10,000.

In the magic world Mark is well known as an author, inventor and lecturer on close up, children's and mental magic, his creations, sold by his mail order company Mark Leveridge Magic, being used by magicians from all over the world.
Mark has written several books, mainly concentrating on close up, but his two biggest works to date are THE COMPLETE MAGIC PARTY, concentrating on performing games and magic at children's parties, and THE STROLLING MAGICIAN, a highly detailed book on working commercial strolling magic. Mark has also submitted many items for inclusion in magic magazines such as Genii, M-U-M, Magic Manuscript, The Budget, Linking Ring, The Conjuror and Abracadabra.

Since March 2005, Mark has also been the Editor of Magicseen, a full colour independent glossy magic magazine which features personalities, news, tricks and a whole range of interesting articles on magicians from the UK and beyond. With subscribers worldwide and many more magicians who purchase their copies from magic dealers or through Magicseen's US distribution partner Lybrary.com, this bi-monthly magazine has quickly established itself as a firm favourite with readers. The magazine is also available as an instant .pdf download from the Magicseen website which can be found at www.magicseen.co.uk.
Mark Leveridge Magic
Mark Leveridge Magic came into existence almost by accident! Mark presented his first lecture in 1977 and produced some lecture notes and one or two other items made up for sale afterwards.
At first any sales were restricted to after the lectures, but then gradually people who had not bought on the evening started to send for things afterwards by mail. As news of what Mark had to offer spread, so even magicians who had not been at a lecture wanted to get hold of the small number of items which had been for sale and so they began to send orders in too.
Over a period of two or three years a second and then a third lecture were put together and the number of associated lines started to grow. Eventually, Mark released one or two effects which were not linked to a lecture and this started a process of invention and marketing which is still going strong today.
Mark has always had a policy of only selling his own ideas and variations, or products which have a clear link to something he has organised or been associated with. No other British dealer is authorised to sell MLM products, although there are one or two magic dealers outside the UK who are permitted to handle Mark's products in order to sell to their customers.
Today Mark has a strong customer base which covers the entire world. His catalogue contains about 80 items, all of which have a consistent high standard of production and routining. New products are constantly under development and this website features full details of everything currently available.
From very small beginnings, Mark Leveridge Magic has grown to be one of the most respected dealers around, and even though the business is so successful, Mark still maintains a personal touch which enables him to treat all his customers in an individual way. His speed of response to and servicing of mail orders is almost legendary and this accounts for why so many magicians come back to MLM time and time again!

Reports: Israel to apologize for flotilla raid
The public rift between Israel and Turkey may be closing somewhat.
Persistent reports in the Turkish press indicate that Israel will formally apologize and pay compensation for the deaths on the Mavi Marmara.
The Mavi Marmara was the blockade-busting ship manned by Turkish citizens on which nine actvists were killed in unclear circumstances by Israeli naval commandos.
Turkish newspaper of record Hürriyet indicates that discussions of apology and compensation took place at a secret meeting between Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and Israeli Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor Benjamin Ben-Eliezer on Wednesday. According to Hürriyet's source:
"There will be a second meeting if the Israeli side takes a step toward [meeting] our demands," a Turkish diplomatic source told the Hürriyet Daily News & Economic Review on Thursday. "We do not categorically dismiss meeting with Israeli officials at this level."
Translated out of diplo-speak, this means that a new meeting on the demands is extremely likely to take place.
The demands themselves? As the paper's Sevil Kücüjjosum puts it, "Israel has signaled it may compensate and apologize to families of some of the victims of its aid-flotilla raid."
If true, this would signal a sea-change in Israel's approach to the blockade fiasco; Israeli public diplomacy has been aggressive in painting the blockade-busters as violent terrorists.
The secret meeting between Davutoğlu and Ben-Eliezer was apparently designed to keep bellicose Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman out of the loop. Lieberman, whose Yisrael Beiteinu political party routinely indulges in anti-Arab agitation, subjected the Turkish ambassador to Israel to a humiliating public mocking several months ago.
Lieberman has threatened to resign as Foreign Minister in response, but it is likely an idle threat. The secret talks themselves were reportedly held at the behest of the United States, which did not want two important regional allies in a squabble.
Turkish foreign policy in the past two years has openly shifted towards an aggressive hybrid of pan-Turkic and pan-Islamic rhetoric which has alarmed both fellow NATO members and other Middle Eastern states.
But at the end of the day, Israel and Turkey maintain important trade ties that are likely to weather the current row. For all the widespread hatred of Israel in Turkey — and of Turkey in Israel — the two countries maintain extensive military ties that involve mutual arms purchases and a spider's web of business reciprocations.
Strange how capitalism and arms manufacturers win at the end of the day, isn't it?

If you are one of the thousands of Americans who have recently sought bankruptcy protection, you may be concerned about your ability to rebuild your credit. Although the bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for up to 10 years, you can start the repair process by practicing smart financial and money management habits.
The most simple way to boost your credit standing is to pay your bills on time. It seems simple, but when you get caught up in your day-to-day tasks, forgetting to put a check in the mail can be easy to do. Talk to your bank about setting up automatic payments to avoid this in the future. Some lenders, including most student loan and mortgage companies, will even cut you a break on the interest if you let them deduct payments automatically each month.
Obtain a secured credit card that reports to credit bureaus. Payment history accounts for 35 percent of your credit score, so this is an important step in building a good reputation with lenders.
Consider including a personal statement on your credit report, if you feel that the circumstances which led to bankruptcy were beyond your control, such as a medical emergency or sudden job loss. Personal statements of 100 words or less allow you to explain why you filed for bankruptcy protection. If the reasons were due to conditions unrelated to overspending or poor money management, you may be able to sway lenders into being more lenient or softening your rates.
You should also obtain a copy of your credit report. Studies show that nearly 80 percent of credit reports contain some type of error. Make sure the information associated with your bankruptcy is correct. Dispute any erroneous information you see listed immediately. Vigilance goes a long way in boosting your financial condition, so keeping an eye on your spending, examining your credit report and being open with lenders about your situation may help improve your standing even before the bankruptcy is removed from your file.
