Graduate Assistant Hiring Process
Click on the link to view a FLOWCHART of the Graduate Assistantship hiring process.
If you have never had a Graduate Assistant (GA) in your department before, the first step is to speak to your area Budget Rep, Chair, Dean or VP about whether or not there are funds in the budget for Graduate Assistantships. If not, the funds must be requested from the Provost's Office during your department's annual budget development process. Your Budget Rep can explain the process of requesting these funds.
The amount of money allotted in the budget will determine the type (full or part time) and number of GA's your department will seek. See below:
- FULL TIME (fall, spring): 300 total hours; 15 weeks; 20 hours per week; tuition remission credit range 6-12; required enrollment 6 credits; stipend $3,300
- FULL TIME (summer): 120 total hours; 6 weeks; 20 hours per week; tuition remission 3 credits; required enrollment 3 credits; stipend $1,320
- PART TIME (fall, spring): 150 total hours; 15 weeks; 10 hours per week; tuition remission 3-6 credits; required enrollment 3 credits; stipend $1,650
- PART TIME (summer): 60 total hours; 6 weeks; 10 hours per week; tuition remission 1.5 credits; required enrollment 1.5 credits; stipend $660
After the funds are confirmed and allotted, you should compose a very EXPLICIT and DETAILED description of the specific characteristics and skills you would want your GA to possess.
Human Resources does not assist with the recruitment process; this is the hiring manager's/department's responsibility. The common recruiting practice is as follows: the hiring manager seeking a GA contacts the school/college/department which they wish their GA to be a part of, or have their degree in. For example, if you are looking for a GA with Computer Science or Information Systems/Technology training, you will want to check with the Seidenberg School. If you'd like a GA who is currently studying communications, contact the Communication Studies department chair in Dyson. The GA must submit an application or resume for your department to review. Graduate Assistantship applications can be found in the Graduate School Application Booklet for the specific school to which the student is applying for an assistantship. A student who has already completed an assistantship within your department does not need to reapply.
The department looking for the GA reviews the applications and makes the interview selections. Financial Aid and HR do not have any part in this process. After you have interviewed and selected the final candidate, the hiring manager and the GA must fill out the Graduate Assistantship Agreement together. A student who has already had an assistantship within your department must renew this agreement contract every semester.
The agreement must be signed by both parties and then be submitted to Adriana Pace in the Financial Aid department - Phone: (914) 422-4050; Fax: (914) 422-4175.
- Click on the link to view or print the GA AGREEMENT FORMS
- Click on the link to view DIRECTIONS ON FILLING OUT AGREEMENT FORMS
Once Financial Aid has verified the student's eligibility, they will sign the agreement and forward it to Human Resources for final processing.
The GA must report to their campus Human Resources Office to fill out new hire paperwork. Making an appointment is recommended. In addition, certain materials will be required when filling out new hire paperwork, including a Passport, OR Social Security Card and Driver's License. See below for Human Resources Office locations and hours. Please note: the GA's stipend payment will be delayed if this necessary step is not fully completed.
- Westchester Campus: Human Resources Office is located at 100 Summit Lake Drive, 3rd Floor, Valhalla, NY, and is open from 9am-5pm. (914) 923-2730.
- New York Campus: Human Resources Office is located on the 110 William Street, 11th Floor, and is open from 9am-5pm. (212) 346-1630.
Hiring managers should confirm with University Staffing & Recruitment that the new hire paperwork has been received and processed prior to the GA's first day of work.
*NOTE: Some of the above criteria are subject to change depending upon the school with which the GA is associated. Please contact the specific school (Dyson, Lienhard, Lubin, School of Education and Seidenberg) to determine if there are differences in GPA requirements or Full-time/Part-time status.

Redding and Mathis, especially Redding, getting a captain's patch over Freeney is kind of telling for me. Freeney's aging and isn't suited for this defense at all so I don't put a ton of blame on him for not having a Pro Bowl year or anything like that, but he just seems checked out. I love Mathis, I hope he retires a Colt. And him replying to me on Twitter pretty often only has a little to do with that.
not really telling, Mathis is having the better year, and Redding is the guy who gets them pumped up and ready to play
....which is what makes it telling. Redding's been here for a couple months, Freeney's been one of if not the best players on the defense for what, a decade?
And Freeney has never been a captain here (iirc), so I think it doesn't really allude to whether or not either 98 or 93 will be re-signed...

Mean Betty's highlights of the week in celeb news and gossip
-Mean Betty
American Idol Goes "Posh"
First Katie Holmes shuffled her way across the So You Think You Can Dance stage, now her BFF Victoria Beckham is going to be a guest judge on American Idol? And what, pray tell, are Posh's exact qualifications, besides being 1/5 of a one-hit wonder, highly over-produced girl band? On exactly what criteria will she be judging contestants? Most interestingly – what kind of advice will she be doling out?
Victoria Beckham's formula for becoming famous … for being famous:
1. Never smile in front of paparazzi.
2. Don't swallow any of your food.
3. Hook up with a buff famous athlete with propensity for appearing in underwear ads.
By the way, no one actually thinks Paula Abdul really isn't coming back, do they?
Ugly Betty Not Ugly Enough? Really?
Everyone's getting all nervous that America Ferrera's character has become too gussied up … thinner eyebrows, color coordinated outfits, oh my! Is she in danger of being mistaken for another, more attractive Betty … perhaps … Mean Betty?
Um, dears, Mean Betty doesn't really think there's anything to worry about, hmmm?

The Foo Fighters captured five Grammys and Adele won four, including the song of the year trophy for "Rolling in the Deep," at a Grammy ceremony that had the difficult task of celebrating music's best while mourning the loss of one of their greatest, Whitney Houston.
Houston's death on the eve of the awards forced a delicate balance between the exuberance of the show's winners and performances with the loss.
Adele, who owned the year's best-selling album with "21," was triumphant in her first performance since vocal cord surgery forced the cancellation of a tour and months of vocal rest. As the world wondered whether her voice would still soar, she answered with her performance of her hit "Rolling in the Deep," and received a sustained standing ovation from the crowd.
The song also won her one of the night's most prestigious awards, song of the year. Another song from that album, "Someone Like You," earned her best pop solo performance.
"I can't believe I'm getting emotional already," she said after picking up the latter award. "And seeing as it's a vocal performance, I need to thank my doctors, I suppose, who brought my voice back."
Adele's CD "21" also won best pop vocal album. The night's other big winners, the Foo Fighters, noted that they made their album "Wasting Light" in a garage.
"To me this award means a lot because it shows that the human element of making music is what's most important. Singing into a microphone, learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do," he said as the band accepted their best rock performance trophy for "Walk." ''It's not about being perfect. It's not about sounding absolutely correct. It's not about what goes on in a computer. It's about what goes on in here (your heart) and what goes on here (your head). ... Long live rock 'n' roll!"
Among the evening's performances was a dance-heavy number by Chris Brown, a performance by Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen, who kicked off the show by performing his new song "We Take Care of Our Own," a rousing song that references the troubles of the nation.
But the evening's most moving moment came as Jennifer Hudson - who has called Houston an inspiration and one of her biggest idols - emerged to sing one of Houston's signature songs, "I Will Always Love You." Dressed in black, with only the accompaniment of a piano, Hudson appeared to fight back tears as she sang the song, ending with the line, "Whitney, we will always love you."
The show started off on a somber note, as host LL Cool J appeared in black, and told the audience: "There is no way around this. We've had a death in our family."
He then led the audience in prayer to "our fallen sister, Whitney Houston.
"Heavenly father, we thank you for sharing our sister Whitney with us," he said, as celebrities like Lady Gaga and Miranda Lambert bowed their heads in prayer. "Though she is gone too soon, we remain truly blessed to have been touched by her beautiful spirit."
He introduced a clip of a glowing Houston singing "I Will Always Love You." LL Cool said afterward. In his performance of "Runaway Baby," Bruno Mars also mentioned the death: "Tonight we're celebrating. Tonight we're celebrating the beautiful Miss Whitney Houston."
And Stevie Wonder said: "To Whitney up in heaven, we all love you."
Houston died on the eve of the Grammys at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where she was preparing to attend a pre-Grammy party. Still, while Houston's death cast a shadow over the night's winners, it did not obscure them. Among them was Chris Brown, who was performing on the stage for the first time since he dropped out of 2009's broadcast; his attack on Rihanna the night before led to both their absences, an assault charge for Brown and a career low.
But 2011 marked an amazing comeback for Brown and he was rewarded with two planned performances during the show, the first time he and Rihanna performed at the same event since the attack (she sang solo and with Coldplay during the ceremony).
Brown also won best R&B album: "First and foremost, I gotta thank God, and thank the Grammys for letting me get on this stage and do my thing," he said "All my fans, I love you. We got one. Thank you."
Justin Vernon, whose band Bon Iver beat Nicki Minaj, The Band Perry, J. Cole and Skrillex for best new artist, accepted the award with admittedly mixed emotions.
"It's really hard to accept this award. Well, there's so much talent out here, like on this stage. There's a lot of talent that's not here tonight. It's also hard to accept because when I started to make songs I did it for the inherent reward of making songs, so I'm a little bit uncomfortable up here," he said. "But with that discomfort I do have a sense of gratitude. I want to say thank you to all the nominees, all the non-nominees that have never been here and never will be here."
The Grammys did their best to keep a tone that balanced the many moods of the night: The Foo Fighters performed in a tent outside the Staples Center, where the awards were being held, amid a throng of bouncing fans; but moments earlier, Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt paid tribute to Etta James, the legend who died last month.
There was also a tribute to the recently reunited Beach Boys that featured Maroon 5, Foster the People and Mike Love, Al Jardine and Brian Wilson, the three remaining members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band, all pitch-perfect as they brought the groups California rock sound and harmonies back to life.
Glen Campbell, who announced his retirement last year after disclosing he had Alzheimer's disease, also performed withThe Band Perry and Blake Shelton, singing his classic hit, "Rhinestone Cowboy."

POLICE have released a CCTV photo of four men suspected of raiding a Boots store in Fryern Arcade, Chandlers Ford.
The riad happened at about 2am on Friday, February 1 when the four entered from a rear car park and underpass.
They climbed the spiral staircase and made their way to the store, where they used a sledge hammer to smash the front double glazed door.
Inside, they stole £1,500 worth of electrical goods, including Mark HIU hairdryers; Babyliss hairdryers, tongs, straighteners and stylers; Braun Epilators; Remington tongs and straighteners and a Vidal Sassoon hair styler.
The stolen property was taken away in large green bags.
Police believe another raid at Hair at Monrose, The Mall, Winchester Road, Chandlers Ford, may be related.

The Deposition of Christ with Carlotta of Lusignano
about 1480
Giovanni de Fondulis, Italian (Padua)
Painted terracotta, height 124.5 cm
Genre: European Art, Sculpture
Location: 3rd Floor Stairhall
Accession Number: S31w3
The death and entombment of Christ was often depicted by terracotta sculptors, who focused on the agonizing sadness of the mourners, here the Virgin to the left of Christ and Saint John on the right. The artist's working of the clay heightens this agitation. The grooves of the textiles, hair, skin, and fingers mingle with the painted streaks of tears and blood to create an overall texture.
This stylized rendering of emotion is very different from the calm grace of Gardner's Virgin and Child sculpture by Matteo Civitali, which was made at around the same time.
Isabella Gardner bought this sculpture in 1897 as the work of Bartolomeo Bellano. It was shipped to Boston in three pieces sent from different ports to avoid the suspicions of customs officers in both Italy and the U.S. Gardner did not actually see the sculpture until four years later when she unpacked it to install in her museum. It has recently been discovered that this is a work by Giovanni de Fondulis, a sculptor active in Padua.
Between 2007 and 2010, Gardner conservators undertook detailed study and conservation of three of the Gardner's terracotta sculptures: Virgin Adoring the Child, Matteo Civitali, ca. 1480; Bust of St. John the Baptist, Benedetto da Maiano, ca. 1480; and Entombment of Christ, Giovanni Minelli (recently reattributed to Giovanni de Fondulis), ca. 1483-87, in addition to thirteen 19th-century paintings in the Gardner Museum's collection. Funded by the Sherman Fairchild Foundation, this work focused on the analysis of paint and elemental constituents of the terracotta as well as treatment, which provided new insights into the sculptures' composition and condition. For example, research revealed that the works by Civitali and de Fondulis preserve much of their original 15th-century paint, while Benedetto da Maiano's Bust of St. John the Baptist has been over-painted several times—including once with a thick layer of black paint mixed with a combination of ground copper and brass metal leaf that was applied to make it appear as though the bust was made of bronze. Analysis also revealed new information about the method of modeling the figures, which were all done by hand as indicated by the visible took marks, the selective massing of the clay, the hollowed out walls with uniform thickness, and the individual expressiveness of the figures. Methods of evaluation focused on X-radiography, paint cross-sections, Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Raman spectroscopy, thermoluminescence, and other methods of evaluation conducted by the Gardner Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. These new discoveries contributed to the 2010 exhibition, Modeling Devotion: Terracotta Sculptures of the Italian Renaissance, which highlighted the highly emotive and expressive qualities of these artworks, their technique and condition, and even fakes and forgeries created in the late 19th century to fuel a growing market.
In addition to in-depth technical analysis, treatment, and photographic documentation of the de Fondulis, conservators completed comparative study analysis of the artwork in Padua, Italy. A notable finding included the reattribution of this work to the previously obscure Renaissance Paduan sculptor Giovanni de Fondulis. Specializing in highly emotive painted terracottas, de Fondulis' importance has only recently been reconstructed by scholars. This sculpture is one of only twenty known examples of de Fondulis' work. The treatment of this sculpture focused primarily on consolidation of the paint/ground layers and surface cleaning. The sculpture was conserved in 1936 at the Gardner in an effort to consolidate flaking paint. The method used was a wax/resin mixture that was melted together and then applied to the painted surface. Upon cooling, excess consolidant was wiped away with solvents. Unfortunately, this treatment was no longer effective and the wax/resin material had actually become quite dark and yellowed with age. The soft wax surface had also accumulated and retained a significant amount of dirt and dust. Therefore, the recent conservation treatment focused on locally consolidating the paint and ground layers and to remove the discolored residual wax/rein from the paint surface. Areas of paint loss exposing bare terracotta were isolated with a reversible resin and in-painted to blend with adjacent surfaces.

I've been trying to add some sort of Xpath to sort my XML with PHP, seems to be returning the correct amount of elements based on the criteria, but now no values are showing. No hotel name, no img, just empty div containers.
Can anybody spot what is causing the empty values, what am I doing wrong?
<?php $i=1; foreach ($hotels->hotel->xpath('//hotel/location[. ="some location"]') as $hotel): ?>
<?php $clss= ($i % 3 == 0)? 'class="last"':'' ?>
<div <?php echo $clss ?> >
<img src="images/<? echo $hotel->img->name ?>">

<?php echo $hotel->name ?>

<?php echo $hotel->description ?>

Rating: <?php echo $hotel->star ?>

Location: <?php echo $hotel->location ?>

<? $i++;?>
<? endforeach ?>
If I use the below everything works ok but no Xpath sorting.
<?php $i=1; foreach ($hotels->hotel as $hotel): ?>
Can anybody shed some light on this?50 viewings no reply
I might revert back to using a MySQL DB and leave extracting my data from XML altogether.Any views on using MySQL over XML?
I was hoping to get a better understanding of using XML and querying this with Xpath as this is just a small project I'm working on, creating a full DB seems a bit overkill.
There are two things I'd do to try and sort out your problem,1) output var_dump($hotels->hotel->xpath('//hotel/location[. ="some location"]')); and post it here, I'm curious as to what that returns2) output var_dump($hotels->hotel) and compare it to the output of #1
However, regardless, XML is a terrible data source to use in real time, it requires I/O operations were are slower than database interactions. The only time I ever use XML from an I/O standpoint is in nightly jobs that then process the data from the XML file and store that data in other formats (serialized json array, database, etc) anything that makes it more convenient for PHP to use.
Cheers cpradio
var_dump($hotels->hotel->xpath('//hotel/location[. ="some location"]'));
array(6) {
object(SimpleXMLElement)#5 (0) {
object(SimpleXMLElement)#6 (0) {
object(SimpleXMLElement)#4 (0) {
object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (0) {
object(SimpleXMLElement)#3 (0) {
object(SimpleXMLElement)#10 (0) {
object(SimpleXMLElement)#8 (6) {
object(SimpleXMLElement)#6 (2) {
string(26) "hotel_one.jpg"
string(12) "hotel one"
string(6) "hotel1"
string(23) "Accommodation in the UK"
object(SimpleXMLElement)#5 (3) {
string(1) "3"
string(10) "steers way"
string(6) "W1 8LW"
string(1) "4"
string(2) "uk"
However, regardless, XML is a terrible data source
I respect that and kind of agree but was hoping to get an understand of this, lots of jobs require XML data manipulation using Xpath and I have worked in previous roles (Interwoven Teamsite CMS in particular) which uses XML as its main data storage and styled using XSL transformations.
What do you think of the above, whats causing the issue?
And would you say json is the better option over XML?
Okay, I think your Xpath is incorrect. As you are only getting the location element returned.
Try this:
$hotels->hotel->xpath('//hotel[descendant::location[. ="some location"]]')
Place that in the var_dump as well to see what that gives.
That works brilliantly.The var_dump is array(6) now with all 6 hotels details as the above output, looks good thank you.
Now my next problem How do I now sort these hotels by star rating?And what if the value is budget and not a integer?
Cheers Barry
xpath alone can't do sorting. That has to be done via XSL or you have to loop through and sort manually. What you have selectively done up to this point is filter the data.
I haven't done a lot of sorting via XSL, again because it seems cumbersome to me (don't get me wrong, I love XML over CSV, flat files, etc, but where you are heading with it seems to be more fitted for a relational database).
You can check out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4848809/how-to-sort-values-via-xpath
You will see that you can sort across multiple elements and you get to define the data type of the element (so it may be a string, but if it is numeric, you can convert it to a number). The select attribute seems to define the element name to use, then there is the data-type and lastly the order.
If you mock something up and it isn't doing what you want, post it and I'll be glad to look it over and see if I spotted any mistakes You can find an example in the comments for applying XSL to SimpleXMLElement at http://php.net/manual/en/book.xsl.php
I haven't done much XSL myself only worked with other peoples code and modified small snippets etc.And yes that's my predicament right now - to use a mysql db and be done with it, I can easily get the results I'm after but, ha I was hoping to learn something new and enhance my skillset and did thing this was a good way to do things.
Thanks for the link, I think I'll review what works best for this small project and see where it takes me.Cheers again for the help and I'll be sure to post any further code for review if I come unstuck as I move forward.
If XSLT looks like too much hard work, remember that SimpleXML's xpath() returns an array and PHP has several functions to sort arrays in a variety of ways. Here's an example using [usort()](http://php.net/usort).
$hotels_at_location = $hotels->xpath('hotel[location="some location"]');
usort($hotels_at_location, function ($a, $b) { return (int) $b->star - (int) $a->star; });
foreach ($hotels_at_location as $hotel) {
// Do something useful here

HOUSTON - A man has been accused of forcing a co-worker to perform a sexual act on him.
Nick Angel Hourihan, 22, has been charged with sexual assault.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said Hourihan worked at Mambo's Seafood on the Northwest Freeway and asked a female co-worker for a ride home on June 4, 2011.
The co-worker agreed to give Hourihan a ride. He gave her directions and told her to pull into a business in the 7700 block of Hollister and said he would walk home from there, investigators said.
Detectives said Hourihan repeatedly told the woman to turn off her engine. She refused and Hourihan then demanded the woman perform a sexual act on him, investigators said.
The woman said no and Hourihan grabbed her hair and hit her on the head, investigators said. He then forced her to perform the sexual act, deputies said.
Hourihan is being held in the Harris County Jail without bond.

Super Bowl's Super Fans
Olivia Thirlby stars in Nobody Walks with John Krasinski and Rosemarie DeWitt; directed by Ry Russo-Young.
Tell us about your character in the film.
I play Martine, a young visual artist and a New Yorker. She goes to LA to complete the sound on her next film project and finds herself staying in the guesthouse of a family because the husband is helping her work on it.
What attracted you to this part?
When I read the script, the whole thing was just really good. I felt like I hadn't read and certainly haven't played this character before. She's a young woman who is thrown into emotionally gray areas and deals with them in a very human way, which is imperfectly. I didn't want her to be a scapegoat or a kind of jezebel character. We talked a lot about her sexuality. We didn't want it to be overt—we didn't want her to be oozing sex—but we definitely wanted to show that there was something about her that men really liked.
What other films are you excited to see at the festival this year?
There are so many! There's my amazing filmmaker friend So Yong Kim's film, For Ellen. Hello, I Must be Going I heard is amazing. So is Liberal Arts.
Do you have a favorite Sundance moment, this year or in years past?
I'm thinking of a lot of anecdotes but they're not necessarily ones I should share. Maybe that is the Sundance anecdote: the one you remember and can never talk about publicly!
How do you dress for Sundance?
Duck boots. Keeping your feet warm and dry is definitely important. You can't mess around. I love Sundance because of the fashion actually. It's a way to really show off your personal style because it's not just about a dress and heels.
Read an interview with Nobody Walks director Ry Russo Young.
Kate Bosworth, Lake Bell & Katie Aselton star in Black Rock, co-written by Aselton and her husband Mark Duplass, directed by Aselton.
Tell us about your respective characters in the film.
KB: I play Sarah and her intention is to get her two best friends from childhood [Bosworth and Bell] together on a remote island. There's been some major conflict in their lives and she just wants to reconnect with everybody. Then they encounter trouble.
KA: They're three really strong-willed girls and they're like, `We are going to get off this island.' That's what excited me about this script. I had no interest in playing a typical girl in a thriller who's either a victim or just bizarrely tough and strong. As a filmmaker and as an actor, I have this aversion to the kind of girls who are just like—[employs sarcastic tone]—so pretty but so embarrassed about how pretty they are and their shoulders hunch down and their voice gets weird...I'm just so done with that. Stand up straight, be a badass, use your voice and be proud of that. You're still feminine and you're still sexy. If you intimidate someone then that's a pretty dumb person you're intimidating so I love the idea of making these girls have...a certain confidence.
LB: And they're also safe amongst themselves. It's not a safe situation, but they feel safe to say things or try things. There's an ease to how they communicate, so when the shit hits the fan in the movie and we're forced to survive, there's this vulnerability and confidence in how they deal with it.
What attracted you to these roles?
KB: It's rare you get a script where you get to work with your fellow actresses. Normally, you're kind of the lone female in a group of men.
KA: That or you're like the goofy friend or a pretty girl. It's always a type.
KB: This is about just three real people in an extraordinary circumstance trying to figure it all out.
LB: That's what I find really cool about this movie and even in ourselves. When one person felt week in a shoot, the other girls would pick us up. Same thing in the movie—when one character was completely vulnerable and losing it, the other two would slap them into gear.
How do you dress for Sundance?
KA: Talk to these guys. I'm six months pregnant so I'm just trying to make that work.
KB: Definitely wear boots. You missy—miss pregnant—wore high-heeled boots yesterday in a blizzard!
KA: Only during press!
LB: My advice is to keep a pair of really comfortable snow boots with you at all times.

Danke für den tollen Service
Zagreb? Übernachtung? dann hier!!
We only spent one night in Zagreb and were able to visit the city easily on foot from the apartment at night because it is very well located. The apartment itself is beautiful, tastefully decorated and is very functional. Katarina thank you for his welcome.
Nous n'avons passé qu'une seule nuit à Zagreb et avons pu visiter la ville facilement le soir à pieds depuis l'appartement car il est très bien situé. L'appartement par lui-même est très beau, décoré avec beaucoup de goût et est très fonctionnel. Merci à Katarina pour son bon accueil.
We took a trip to Zagreb a group of friends from 5 people. We booked a night in this apartment and the stay was pleasant. The hosts were very nice, even when we communicate on the same day we would get a couple of hours late due to traffic. The apartment was very central and very clean, all very carefully and my bed comfortable. In addition the apartment has a Jacuzzi which makes it very advisable. The floor in general is phenomenal.
Fuimos de viaje a Zagreb un grupo de amigos de 5 personas. Reservamos una noche en este apartamento y la estancia fue muy grata. Los anfitriones fueron muy agradables, incluso cuando les comunicamos en el mismo día que íbamos a llegar un par de horas más tarde debido al tráfico. El apartamento estaba muy céntrico y muy limpio, todo muy cuidado y las camas my cómodas. Además el piso tiene un jacuzzi que lo hace muy recomendable. El piso en general esta fenomenal.

Topic: My poor husband
It was 6 weeks ago today that my dear mother died. It's been a rough last couple of weeks. I was almost annoyed that my husband didn't seem overly supportive or patient with me, as I tried to gently explain to him on a number of occasions why I'm so moody and what grief is doing to me right now.
Come to find out, he's been dealing with a worry but didn't want to burden me with more. He's been having pressure/pain/discomfort for a few months just under his rib cage, sometimes right side and sometimes left. Without me knowing, he's been to his GP, sent for abdominal ultrasound week before last, and bloodwork last week. They're fairly certain it's fatty liver, and the sonogram showed multiple cysts. (He's at an ideal weight, exercizes regularly, no diabetes, eats a great diet low in fat, etc., but he has genetically very high cholesterol.)
He finally told me Friday night. He's been so worried about it, including worry that something was very wrong with his liver, especially after losing his beloved mother-in-law to CC. It got to the point where he's had a couple of panic attacks, sick with the thought of being very ill with a young family.
It just breaks my heart. I understand why he didn't want to tell me - I'd be the same exact way if he'd just lost his mother. I just wish I could've been more support for him. Well, I know now and I'm here to support him.
From what I've read, fatty liver isn't uncommon and can often be left untreated, just modification of diet, more exercise, stuff like that. All things he already does. So I'm anxious to hear what his GP recommends next.
I'm not sure why I posted this here - it's just that you all are so supportive, know what I'm going through in my grief, and can probably relate to the feelings I'm having. Keep my hubby in your prayers!

I mean, as opposed to printing? I came across this article yesterday, and to be honest, I don't think I'd be able to write a letter without referring to a sample to copy some letters - especially capital letters. The closest I come to writing is combining some letters when I'm printing if I'm in a rush. Is this still a necessary life skill?
i definitely remember most of it, but I am kind of sketchy on a few of the capital letters.
About the only time I use it, other than my signature, is when I'm signing greeting cards. And I have really no idea why I use it there, but I do.
Honestly, I rarely even write full sentences in any kind of handwriting - it's always typed.
My wildly inconsistent PRs:
5k: 24:36 (10/20/12)
10k: 52:01 (4/28/12)
Marathon: 4:19:11 (10/2/2011)
Will run for scenery.
No I don't. I've gotten to where I have to concentrate a bit just to print, and (other than my signature) writing in cursive feels stranger than trying to speak in a foreign language. Although I don't secretary-type, I do computer-nerd-type, and I kind of worry that typing is about to get tossed into the single-stream recycling bin of history.
The only real upside is that these days nobody expects you to write letters, and everyone understands if you don't do Facebook. So there's a win/win, at least.
Stupid feet!
Stupid elbow!
100K or Bust
Sure, though when I'm writing something by hand I normally use a mix of writing and printing. A few of the less commonly used letters, especially upper case, I might have to think momentarily to be sure I have it right, but otherwise I'm fine with it.

I remember. Too well. Damn I'm older than I thought....
"The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire."
It's always fucking hot in Miami!
Another confession. That article was the first time I heard it referred to as cursive. We always called it writing when we were in school.
I wrote the final exam for my field of study 7 years ago. The damn hardest thing about that exam was having the physical stamina to print or write for 4 hours. I'm with cmb - I rarely print more than a full sentence nowadays.
I guess it may be useful to know how to read this ancient script so we can understand grandma's recipes.
My asian friends have the same type of issue. They can barely write Chinese characters by hand anymore.
But can you actually do it? I think I'd have a lot of trouble with that.
How do people today write birthday cards, grocery lists and love letters?
Oh, I can still do it. I still know how to do caligraphy as well.
A a sidenote, I still cannot believe how some people take the bar exams in writing. Every time I see someone bring a yellow tablet to court, I look up to see they are at least in their 5th decade.
But can you actually do it? I think I'd have a lot of trouble with that.
Grocery lists? Notes on iPhone.
Birthday cards? I only say happy birthday, love, sign.
Love letters? What are those? Hubby just sends me iMessages every day. Awwww.
Grocery lists? Notes on iPhone. Ditto
Birthday cards? I only say happy birthday, love, sign. Happy birthday message on Facebook or in person for important peeps

I hand-write lots of things. I love writing lists, and it does absolutely nothing for me to type them out. My handwriting is quite neat, and I still remember cursive.
I guess with this age of technology, handwriting will take a back burner to typing. Never really thought about that.
Dr. Cornsitter
As an English major in undergrad, I had a terrible habit of never editing my own papers. So to combat that, I would handwrite pages and pages of essays on college ruled notepads, so that I would HAVE to reread what I wrote at least once as I typed it into the computer. My papers got so much better after that.
I handwrite notes, lists, work-related drafts, Christmas and thank you cards, and notes to my family. But I type love letters

masher - Wednesday, July 14, 2004 - linkHummm yourself #15, the Seagates have fluid bearings as well. Its not just these two drives...all the results are highly suspect. The values are far too close together, both between drives and for the same drive between idle and load.
The review numbers are wrong. Reply
PrinceGaz - Monday, July 12, 2004 - linkI'd also be happy to sacrifice some performace for extra space (and also increased reliability as well if it has a lower rpm) on my largest drive. The Quantum Bigfoot drive (5 1/4" 3600rpm) I bought in the late 90's was slower than most others but offered considerably more GB/$ than faster drives of its day, and was ideal for my needs then. Its still working fine to this day in my second box.
When you're considering archival drives of many hundreds of gigs capacity, economy and reliability are far more important than speed. Reply
stephenbrooks - Monday, July 12, 2004 - link#6's idea of wanting larger storage (not necessarily speed) also interests me. I guess if 133GB platters are available Q3 and 5-platter drives are engineerable now, then 5x133 = 665GB drives should be (theoretically?) possible from Q3. I'm looking forward to the race to the first 1TB drive in 2005. Reply
jiulemoigt - Monday, July 12, 2004 - linkhummm #14 look up fluid mechinics isolations then turn on a grinder, and weither his number are right the fluid ball bearings should be quiter than the graphite drives. My spelling is due to the time of night. I wouldn't have said anything but I have six raptors (the newer ones don't know how loud the old ones are) in an array and you have to get pretty close to hear them. Reply
masher - Sunday, July 11, 2004 - linkWhile I appreciate the addition of the sound ratings, I have a hard time believing them. The 10K Raptor quieter under load than a Seagate 7200? No way. The quietest disk of the bunch at idle is the 5 platter Hitachi? And the Maxtor only half a db difference between idle and load?
Sorry, you did something wrong to get these numbers. All the values are far too close together for one...maybe your SPL meter is filtering out part of the spectrum, or reading some background noise. Reply
PrinceGaz - Sunday, July 11, 2004 - link#12- I assume you didn't read the earlier review on RAID0 and the conclusion that there is negligible performance advantage to using RAID0 on a desktop PC. Although the article only considered two 74GB Raptors in RAID0, the conclusion is equally applicable to other drives, more drives, or other controllers.
StorageReview.com noticed the article and all the comments from readers because they faced exactly the same criticism when they found RAID0 was basically worthless, and have posted a large editorial on their front page making it quite clear RAID0 is not worth using. I suggest you read AT's earlier atricle as well as those on SR. Reply
pickxx - Sunday, July 11, 2004 - linkI know you spend a lot of time making these and i greatly appretiate them but i would like a comparrison of RAID setups. I hear claims all the time about certin drives in RAID are faster then a 72GB Rapter or some drives are faster in RAID then others. I am just curious if you could do a set up of the top 5 individual drives and set them up in RAID.
i am just throwing some ideas out there....
thanx Reply
mkruer - Saturday, July 10, 2004 - link"If its there, people will fill it!" Reply
RossAdamBaker - Saturday, July 10, 2004 - linkArticle looks great! You can't beat a 400 gb hard drive! (Well, at least not for a few more days or so!) A quick question however... the PATA version of the hard drive loads UT2004 almost a second quicker than the SATA version. Is this an actual difference in the two drives, or is it just a fluke in the test that doesn't really have a technical basis to explain it? I see the SATA version beats out the PATA version in every other test, but being a gamer this definately raises my curiosity!
Again, as always, great article! Reply
jliechty - Saturday, July 10, 2004 - linkWhat to do with 400GB hard drives? Aside from pr0n, serious photographers that work in digital (either straight from the camera, or scanned from film) can testify that once you get a .PSD with a few adjustment layers, some layer masks, etc., it might well reach the 500MB range or more (or if you got a drum scan, it might start out at 400-500MB before all the layer masks are added!). And most people don't shoot just a few images per month; draw your own conclusions. Reply
Falloutboy - Saturday, July 10, 2004 - linkThis is great but unless it geting into the 50cents per gig range it won't really make sence. I could just get 4 200gbs for the same price and raid them Reply
gimpsoft - Saturday, July 10, 2004 - linkif you have space for 4 drives on your case
i say go with mulitple 160GB hard drive or 149GB true GB
149 * 4 = 596GB almost 600GB
$93 * 4 = $372
for $93each why pay $450 for 320GB
samsung Hard Drives on newegg
mulitple drives is much better then one
C/windows E:/storage X:/storage D:/storage
so you uncompress a file from C to C will take longer & won't be able to open anythign else until uncompress is done
from E to X or from C to X you could surf the web have an dixv open with small slow down & have it finish faster then having to be done in one drive Reply
Jeff7181 - Saturday, July 10, 2004 - linkNice to see capacities increasing. Seems like for a while there hasn't been much in the way of capacity increases... just some speed increases with the Raptor and SATA.
A friend of mine heard about the drive too and asked why anyone would need 400 GB of storage space if they weren't doing anything illegal like pirating software or media. My answer to him was, programs (especially games) will only get larger. And with no worries about storage limits, you could rip your entire CD collection in a lossless format and keep it on your hard drive for listening and making MP3's to put on a portable device, etc. Then there's video... with more people building HTPC's, a 400 GB drive would be a nice addition to a HTPC for recording TV shows in HD... copying your DVD's to the drive for quicker viewing and not having to mess with the discs all the time.
I think storage space is lagging behind a little bit... I have a 36 GB Raptor and an 80 GB drive and I don't find myself running out of storage space, however, I do find myself deleting things thinking "I don't really need this, I'll just get rid of it and free up some space." I remember back in the mid 90's I think, I bought a 12 GB Quantum drive, when high capacity mainstream drives were 6-8 GB... the Quantum was a HUGE drive at the time, but pretty slow. Where are the HUGE but slow drives today? I think it would be acceptable to use a 5400 RPM drive in a HTPC if it could offer 50-100% more storage space thana 7200 RPM drive, AND be more quiet and cooler. Or just for people who archive home movies or something... an 800 GB drive would be great for them... speed wouldn't matter all that much because a 5400 RPM drive is perfectly capable of streaming DVD quality video and audio.
Anyway... as I said... it's nice to see storage capacity increasing, not just speed. Reply
mkruer - Saturday, July 10, 2004 - link"If you can wait on that hard drive upgrade, however, much newer technology is coming next quarter. With platter densities finally surpassing the 100GB mark, 16MB buffers to accent and with NCQ becoming mainstream, the 400GB offerings that should hit the streets later this year will hopefully offer more than just massive storage capacities, but maybe even a new level of performance."
Anand, do you have any specific information on future roadmaps by the manufactures. I would be interested to see how Western Digital will respond. Reply

pookie69 - Saturday, July 10, 2004 - linkNice article. I can appreciate the difficulties in trying to bench and review HDDs, but so far i feel you have done a good job, and i am very much enjoying reading these HDD reviews.
Only thing, it may have been a good idea to talk a bit about some of the technical features of the Hitachi 7k400 - such as those 2 sensors on the underside of the HDD that help ensure much greater spindle head accuracy through system vibrations than currently seen in other HDDs. The name of the technology evades me now, but it sounds really cool.
In any case, great review - the Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 looks like being an awesome HDD, so i do hope that there'll be a rview on that sometime soon :) Reply
ROcHE - Saturday, July 10, 2004 - linkNice review. The recorded hard disk sound is a very good addition. You guys just need to edit the first 1-2 and last 1-2 seconds to remove those weird sounds and it will be perfect.
You can actually hear how silent is a barracuda and how loud is a Maxtor or a WD SE.
It's good to see my one year old Western Digital SE near the top of the performance charts. It shows how hard it is to improve hard disk performances. Kudos to Hitachi for a great hard drive.
Thanks ;) Reply

I was just exploring a template and saw that they have empty javascript:{} in href attribute. It didn't seem to do much. Is this is just a place holder or some kind of comment that this nav works with javascript?Please note that it was found in vav links that had unordered lists like below.

Home

Simple slider

Fullwidth slider

It is used instead of #. If # is used when clicked you go to top of window. javascript:; does not suffer from that
yeah it looks like it doesn't do anything. I was wondering why putting this (javascript:{}) or even a # is better than keeping it empty? is it Just to make it readable?
Delete it and forget you ever saw it. Inline JS is junk anyway, and has no business sitting in place of a proper URL.
That isn't even proper inline JavaScript. Placing JavaScript there doesn't give it any access to information about the event that triggered the code.
Thanks guys, but can you guys tell me keeping empty href is better or href with # ? Or doesn't matter!?
If you click a link with an empty href you get an error, while clicking a link with # as the href value just jumps you to the top of the page, so the latter is better.
... the real question is—why have a link on your page with either of these? If the link has nowhere to go, it shouldn't be a link.
Just for temporary use. For demo templates. You know that.
I always use #, because I've gotten errors in the past having nothing in there.
You know that.
I don't know how you go about designing. A lot of people do have hrefs with just # in them—because the link bahavoir is controlled by JavaScript. However, that's lousy coding, as those links are useless with JS off—which is an indication of poor coding methodology.
No, I meant you know why people use # .
Yes, but not just for demo purposes. Too often it ends up in the finished code, for the reason I mentioned.
In that case there shouldn't be empty links.. I'm with you on that.

— November 2002
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Tybee Island, GA
|Laid-back and brushed by gentle Southern climes, this island stop on the ICW beckons the visiting mariner to stay for awhile.
"The river is wide, the water fresh, and from the key of the town you can see its whole course to the sea, with the island of Tybee which forms the mouth of the river...the landscape is very agreeable." So wrote James Oglethorpe, leader of a group of English settlers who put down roots on and around the island of Tybee, Georgia, in 1773. John Wesley, founder of the first Methodist Church, joined Oglethorpe three years later to help settle the colony.
Tybee Island--from the Native American word tybee, meaning salt--belonged to the Euchee tribe but in the 1500's became a Spanish settlement, part of Spain's La Florida. It later fell to the overwhelming power of the French. However, it would be the British who would eventually lay claim to the island.
To anchor the settlement and provide a beacon of safety for the ships of the realm making the crossing from England, Oglethorpe began constructing a lighthouse the same year he arrived and finished it in 1776. At 90 feet it was the tallest man-made structure in America, and while it was later wrecked by storms, attacked by Union soldiers, and even torn down, its rebuilt incarnation stands today, now some 154 feet high and welcoming mariners, visitors, and locals to this most genteel of Southern islands.

Four-Star Presents Inheriting the Trade
January 25th, 2013 | SMWC
Equality, freedom and race are the powerful themes presented by Thomas DeWolf as he recounts the steps of his ancestors as the largest slave-trading dynasty in the United States. DeWolf will present the Emmy-award nominated documentary, "Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North" at the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Four Star Series on February 11, 2013, in the Cecilian Auditorium at 7 p.m. The presentation is free and open to the public.
DeWolf and other family members traveled the notorious Triangle Trade—from New England to West Africa to Cuba—proved life-altering, forcing him to face the horrors of slavery directly for the first time. The experience inspired him to write the book "Inheriting the Trade."
DeWolf reveals in the book and in the film that slavery was as common in the North as it was in the South. Not only were people enslaved in the North for over two hundred years but the vast majority of all slave trading in the United States was done by Northerners. Remarkably, half of all North American voyages involved in the slave trade originated from Rhode Island. DeWolf discovered that three generations of his family participated in the slave trade. They transported more than 10,000 African people to the West Indies and North and South America.
According to DeWolf, his personal journey is meant to invite reasoned dialogue toward a more hopeful future. "The point isn't to spotlight our family's history so much as to use our family's story as a springboard to a deeper conversation," he explained.
An official selection for the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, "Traces of the Trade" premiered on national television on the acclaimed PBS series "Point of View." DeWolf also appeared on "The CBS Early Show." He regularly speaks at colleges, universities, conferences and other venues regarding diversity social justice and racism. DeWolf is a graduate of Northwest Christian College and the University of Oregon.

FDG : Foundations of Digital Games 2012 was held in Raleigh North Carolina. I chaired the conference which was a great success.
The conference started with a workshop day. I participated with Alessandro Canossa, Heather and Lennart on another very successful workshop at FDG specifically looking at methodology and discussion of player experience research methods and epistemologies. It was a short yet effective workshop bringing together academics from different disciplines and some industry participants from Valve.
We then proceeded with keynotes, panels, and sessions with great talks from across multiple disciplines.
One highlight of the conference was the game room which was great at bringing people together to network and discuss games.
We also had a social game called Snag'em played at the conference, which was a great ice breaker.

Masked robbers jumped over the counter of a Ben Rhydding convenience store and threatened staff in a late-night raid.
The three masked men got away with cigarettes and cash after they struck at the Tesco Ilkley Esso Express store, Leeds Road, shortly before closing time last Thursday.
Police say nobody was hurt in the robbery, which took place at about 11.50pm, but they are appealing for witnesses to the incident and information on the getaway vehicle.
The store, which is open until midnight, is at a petrol filling station off the main A65 road through Ilkley, close to the junction with Wheatley Lane.
Police say the men entered the store, jumped over the staff counter and threatened staff workers, before fleeing with a quantity of cash and cigarettes.
Two members of staff and a customer were inside the store at the time and all were shaken, say police, although no-one was hurt.
Detective Inspector Neil Benstead of Bradford District CID, said: "This is clearly a serious offence which left both staff members inside the store very shaken. We are appealing to any witnesses to the offence or any information as to the men responsible.
"At this stage we are not able to say what vehicle was used by the suspects but the appeal is for information from anyone witnessing a vehicle leaving the scene."
The suspects were described as three white males, all in grey or dark coloured tracksuit type clothing, with faces partially obscured by hoods which were pulled up. They also had balaclava type face coverings, possibly with bandanas over their lower faces, and were all wearing gloves.

ILKLEY Grammar School's very own table tennis superstar, Kate Nixon, showed her fellow students a thing or two about the game this week.
Kate, 14, joined Mark Smith and John Ainley from FocusTT to explain to students the hard work, training and challenges that table tennis requires and not forgetting the great fun that it can offer. Kate is extremely dedicated to the sport, first picking up the table tennis bat at primary school. She has gone on to reach the world wide raking of five (in her age group) and has recently spent time in China training. Kate has gained honours representing England in a number of International junior events.
Mark Smith, Focus Table Tennis, began his table tennis journey way back in 1985 at the age of nine. Mark was immediately hooked on the sport, and within two years he was the Yorkshire champion. He continued to develop as a player, and before reaching adulthood he'd already represented England and become national singles champion, twice.
As an adult, Mark continued his playing career on the professional circuits in France and Belgium, while also developing a keen interest in coaching. He became a development officer for the English Table Tennis Association, and helped English clubs and counties to win several championships.
Eventually his coaching took him overseas, and he landed in Western Australia for the 2004/5 world tour as a coach in residence. Mark went on to become the Western Australia table tennis champion, and in his spare time produced a series of informative table tennis coaching videos.
Mark launched Focus Table Tennis, Britain's first specialist table tennis company, in 2010 when he saw an opportunity to spread his knowledge and enthusiasm for the game with other adults and children alike.
John Ainley leads the Focus TT's work in Yorkshire and has played table tennis for over 40 years, and moved into coaching in 1997. John's commitment to his players has produced great successes especially through his coaching of Kate Nixon.
The students watched in awe as Kate and Mark displayed amazing rallies, spinning the ball and hitting the ball so fast it was difficult to spot it!
Hilary Ravensdale, Head of PE, said: "We are extremely proud of Kate and to be able to show some of the younger students just how good she is was an opportunity we couldn't miss. Maybe we even inspired some of them to give her a run for her money in the coming years!"
