A9 TV, 7 Nisan 2011, (2nd broadcast)
Surat al-Kahf,
28- Restrain yourself patiently with those who call on their Lord morning and evening,
I also call on Allah day and night; desiring solely the approval of Allah, not money or gain or self-interest. Why? Desiring solely the maximum of Allah's approval. Be patient, together with those who establish connections with Allah, who pray to Allah, who ask Allah for beautiful things. In other words, be determined and continue. Let there be no change or weariness, may Allah forbid. Or let there be no falling into pessimism or weakness. Let there be no slackening or lack of enthusiasm. But strive ever harder.
"Do not turn your eyes from them, desiring the attractions of this world."
"The attractions of this world," empty activities. Engaging in empty activities and stopping this good work. You must always look for good things, the truth.
"And do not obey someone whose heart We have made neglectful of Our remembrance..."
People think constantly of Allah in their hearts. If they do not think of Allah in their hearts, it means they are heedless and neglectful. If they think of Allah they will be saved from heedlessness, it means.
"…and who follows his own whims and desires…"
Whose sole aim is their own interests, who follow only their own desires, whose only aims are worldly ones,
"…and whose life has transgressed all bounds."
Who do not act in conformity with the moral values of the Qur'an and the Sunnah; fanatics and bigots are like that, as well as Darwinists and materialists, and Allah tells us not to obey them.
The Mahdi's (as) knowledge comes from the mind of Allah. Allah will raise him; he will not graduate from a madrassah. He will not be bound to any scholar and he will not be a graduate from any university. And this is highly significant. Our Prophet (saas) says he will not be bound to any sheikh. He will not be taught by any scholar, he says. He says he will not know Arabic. But he will have knowledge from the mind of Allah. Allah will give him an angel to help him; he will make wise and very profound statements. Wisdom will pour from that blessed one's mouth. And we are his followers and will strive to be like him, insha'Allah.
Let whoever hears the dajjal has appeared, distance himself from him. I SWEAR TO ALLAH THAT SOMEONE THINKING HIMSELF TO BE A BELIEVER WILL GO TO HIM AND FOLLOW HIM THROUGH DOUBTS INSPIRED BY THE DAJJAL. (Imam Ahmad. Abu Dawud. Hakim; The Messiah Dajjal, the Great Corruption, Saim Gungor, p. 99)

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - It's a big week for supporters of gay marriage. Two Supreme Court cases are putting the issue front and center, and those cases could have implications in Florida, where gay marriage is banned in statute and in the state Constitution.
Ahead of the trials, supporters of gay marriage held rallies across the nation Monday in preparation for the cases.
At the Florida Capitol, about 50 supporters showed up, some with signs. One man holding a Bible protested the rally.
"One man and one woman for a life time," he said.
The crowd mostly kept its cool, but one woman broke ranks to challenge the protestor.
"Yeah, for gay marriage being legalized in nine states and Washington D.C. and countries over the world," she said. "You are on the losing side buddy."
Polls show support for gay marriage is growing, with more than half the country in favor. Twenty-nine states, including Florida, have same-sex marriage bans in their constitutions. Florida also has a ban written into statute.
High school student Emalee Schierman is being raised by lesbians. She says it hasn't negatively affected her or her brothers and sisters.
"I think my two moms have done a pretty good job," Schierman said. "My three siblings are all smart, well-rounded and just as damage-free as any children born from straight families."
While the group rallied outside the state Capitol, inside legislation creating a statewide domestic partnership registry has stalled. Susan Gage, of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, says the Supreme Court cases could change everything.
"I hope that whatever might come out of the Supreme Court, if it is a positive decision for the gay and lesbian community, that they might go back and revisit this and pressing forward with marriage equality," Gage said.
But they may not need to. Depending on how the court rules, Florida's gay marriage ban may could be overridden.
One of the two cases challenges California's ban on gay marriage. If the U.S. Supreme Court rules against the ban, that could render Florida's ban unconstitutional.

'I had my easiest doldrums crossing ever yesterday with only two big black clouds and a slight slowdown,' Thomson wrote on Saturday. 'I was lucky that as I was crossing the area the doldrums were moving south and I was quickly into the north easterly trade winds. Feels great to have ticked off the doldrums and now the last hurdle should be the high pressure system before I get into the westerly's for the final stretch to the finish.
'The weather files I get for as far forward as 10 days and this morning's route has me 400 miles from the finish after 10 days, it's going to be great to see the route finish before the end. the weather files have consistently shown the same route through the high pressure system which gives me some confidence and it does not look too bad. It's still five days away so it could all change.'
Thomson's routing suggests a January 29 finish, which would be consistent with an 80-day finish. He has conceded 26 miles to the leader Francois Gabart (Macif) so far on Saturday, averaging only 12.6 knots in the four hours since the last ranking. More significantly he has conceded the same number to Third-placed Jean-Pierre Dick (Virbac-Paprec 3), whose average of 15.4 knots was only 0.1 knots less than Gabart. Thomson is still far to the west of the rest and consequently his VMG is the least direct to the finish but he may be the first to pick up the westerly trade winds that will eventually replace the northeasterly ones.
At the front, 766 miles ahead of Thomson, Gabart has made only minor gains on Armel Le Cléac'h (Banque Populaire) – just 1.2 miles in the last four hours – to lead by 141 miles. 'I'm slightly ahead of Armel right now, but the weather is going to change and Armel will come back a little, so it's absolutely not over,' Gabart said. The more experienced Le Cléac'h will be able to draw on the experiences of winning close finishes. 'It's not over until we cross the finish line,' Le Cléac'h said. 'I'm still fighting hard, I won the Figaro race by 13 seconds, you know?' The current routing suggests January 26 night-time finish.
Seventh-placed Javier Sansó (Acciona 100% EcoPowered), like Golding, is also involved in a close east-west battle. Dominique Wavre (Mirabaud) closed to within three miles of him after averaging 9.5 knots over the last four hours, almost three more than Sansó. Arnaud Boissières (Akena Verandas) has climbed out of one hole, but just 100 miles from Rio, he may be dropping into another one.
The three at the rear are enjoying far more ideal weather but it is not plain sailing. Tanguy de Lamotte (Initiatives cœur) said his collision with a large branch had left its mark on his rudder. Bertrand de Broc (Your Name Around the World with Projects EDM) is engaged in repairs on his headsails while Alessandro Di Benedetto (Team Plastique) will climb the mast to fix his failing halyards. To be a Vendée skipper you have the patience of Job, the agility of the monkey, the nimble fingers of the seamstress, the insight of a sorcerer, the weather resistance of the buffalo. Versatility is without doubt, the best quality.
Alex Thomson (GBR, Hugo Boss): The wind has just shifted from the NE to the ENE NE and am tight reaching as close to north as I can get. It's pretty rough and consequently the boat is taking a bit of a pounding but not much I can do about that. I made a load of water yesterday and had a wash, my skin breathed a sigh of relief I can tell you. I have a very itchy rash all up my arms and legs from exposure to salt in the humid conditions. I have never had it so bad but in a couple of days when it cools off it should go. Just need to not itch it! Overnight as I exited the doldrums and got into the new breeze it was very gusty so required a lot of attention for me, not much sleep but I don't care, great to be in the trade winds. The heat affects the sleeping but also the amount I eat, both of which I do more at night when the cabin cools down to 30 degrees. Won't be long until I am back in the thermals, I actually can't wait!
François Gabart (FRA, Macif): Hi, I'm doing fine, there's a lot of wind, the boat is fast today. There are a lot of waves, though, it's very noisy when we crash against them, sorry if I can't hear you too well sometimes…It's not difficult to stay focused until the end, because it's what we need to do, very simply. The fact it's coming to an end doesn't change anything. But I'm happy it's over soon. The weather is a little tricky but I've still managed to progress well lately. I've been faster than the others for a few hours but it will change soon. The key to our speed is the improved boats we sail on and the way we sail, we've trained hard so it helps us all improve as skippers. We've also had quite favourable weather conditions explaining our speed. It's going to feel strange to be in the middle of a huge crowd once we're back in les Sables. I'll need to make sure I still have time with my family and friends. But I have a very good team and the people at Mer Agitée are used to Vendée Globe finishes. And so is Michel Desjoyeaux. Sure, I'm slightly ahead of Armel right now but the weather is going to change and Armel will come back a little, so it's absolutely not over. I'm not saying there's going to be a problem, I'm saying I still need to fight and work hard. Yes, sometimes we do feel down, when something went wrong, when the weather isn't good for us… All you can do when that happens is focus on what you have to do and it usually passes…
Jean Le Cam (FRA, SynerCiel): It's been such a hard race for me. I'm like a soldier training in the mud, crawling under barb wire, with the general making it even difficult for me. I have never seen the South Atlantic Ocean like that… It's been going on for three days so I'm waiting for the situation to change. I've been very unlucky since New Zealand, I'm the World Champion of bad weather conditions. I'm currently in a pinball machine where my boat is the ball! Last night, I was asleep and an alarm went off. It was two boats in the area. After checking everything was all right, I suddenly had a craving for sausages, so I had one with crisps! Enjoy skiing in Paris but don't catch a cold or break a bone!
Alessandro Di Benedetto (ITA, Team Plastique): I've just come back to my original heading after recovering my torn gennaker that had fallen overboard, as well as some spare parts. The gennaker is back where it belongs and I've set up a new circuit for the port rudder blade, which had had to take the pressure of the damaged gennaker when it fell down. The rudder has not been damaged and it is back in its original position. Two halyards broke, though, as they fell inside the mast. I'm currently under solent and main sail as I can't use the spinnaker or gennaker because of the missing halyards. I'm waiting for the right conditions to climb up the mast so I can attach at least one of the spare halyards I have on board.
Armel Le Cléac'h (FRA, Banque Populaire): I'm holding on tight and making sure Banque Populaire goes as fast as she can through frequent settings changes. It's not over until we cross the finish line. I'm still fighting hard, I won the Figaro race by 13 seconds, you know? It's hard to tell what can explain our speed this year. Technology of course, our boats are very fast. The weather may have helped us a little bit too, even though the ice gates made the route longer. If we sail two or three percent faster than four years ago, the difference in the end can be a few days. This is like a marathon that has already been going on for more than two months now. Sure, there are tough moments but we try to stay focus on our daily routines: Weather, work on the boat, etc. It's not always easy but there's something amazing in the end: The finish. I think I can still win, which is why I'll give my best until the very end to try to pass François. There is no snow here, but a lot of sand in the wind!
Jean-Pierre Dick (Virbac-Paprec 3): The autopilot went crazy last night as I was sleeping, and Virbac Paprec 3 suddenly tacked. It happened very fast, in two seconds, and in situations like these, you just jump out of your sleeping bag, wondering what's going on. I was back in my initial route not even ten minutes later, but it was definitely something to do it all in 25 knots of wind. I had to throw away all the preserved cheese and dried meat I had. I tried to eat some yesterday, but they had gone bad, I guess it's because of the many temperature changes. I still have freeze-dried food, of course, but I'm getting tired of it. I've picked my favourites, which means in the end I'll have the ones I don't like left. I just can't wait to eat a good steak!
Arnaud Boissières (FRA, Akena Verandas): It may not be the Copacabana Beach or some other fancy spot in Brazil but here is what I've been experiencing for the past 24 hours: Oil rigs with boats watching over them. At night, they have light halos around them that you can see from far away. The wind was shy last night, not to say absent, but it was back a little before dawn this morning. What a relief! That Brazilian spoon is going to take forever but the routing is pretty optimistic. If I keep going like this, I may reach Rio by the end of the evening but sorry, the Ghanabara Bay people won't get to see the beautiful bird with colors like Brazil's. I haven't planned on stopping there. It's tempting, but I'm afraid I can't, I have a chorizo to take care of! Everything's fine on board. It feels like I'm out of the no-wind tunnel soon so between naps and manoeuvres, I stay focused on settings while listening to music. Not just Brazilian, but also a nice selection by Rock and Folk's DJ Tom. From Vendée to the Alps, enjoy the snow and the weekend!!!!
Tanguy de Lamotte (Iniatives cœur): First I thought it hit the keel because I only heard one noise but I managed to put my head out and saw what it was that I hit. It was kind of a big branch or small trunk. It wasn't a massive one. In the morning I managed to look at the rudder - in the night I saw it so I knew it wasn't broken off - but in the morning I realised that the rudder was making quite a lot of whitewater and waves and it is damaged just underneath the hull. It just damaged the leading edge so you can see the shape of the piece of wood that impacted the blade, but it's not structurally damaged. It was quite scary, the strong part of the rudder, the thickest part of the blade, is still intact and hasn't been damaged, so the rudder is working alright, it's just making a little wave extra, but it gives me nearly all the control I need to control the boat. We know that we can hit things and it's not always a reason to stop the race, but this noise was pretty big but I knew it didn't break anything on the boat. When the boat stops, you feel how quickly that happens and that tells you immediately how big the thing you hit is. When I hit this piece of wood I knew it was something not too big and not too solid. If I hit a container it will make a big noise and lot carbon (damage). If I hit a whale it's a bit softer. We have this kind of scale of hardness of what we hit and it gives us a quick idea of what it Vendee Globe website

A little while ago I was setting up my basement photo table for some pork chops I'm grilling tomorrow night and I had to go into the laundry room to find something to use as a table cloth. While I was in there I noticed that the floor around the water heater is wet and given that the heater's 23 years old I know what I'm going to be doing this weekend.
These chops are going to be expensive!

A Kettle for Any Need
Our Kelly Kettles have become popular for a variety of reasons with different groups of outdoor enthusiasts.
- Camping: If you are camping and just want a convenient quick way to heat up your water for hydrating food, a cup of coffee or for personal use, the Base Camp Large Kelly Kettle is great. It will deliver about 7 cups of hot water in just a few minutes.
- Back Packing and Hiking: Backpackers and hikers love the Trekker Small Kelly Kettle for its light weight and natural fuel burning ability. Never worry about carrying heavy fuel in your backpack again. The Trekker Kettle holds a little over 2 cups of water which is enough to hydrate your dehydrated evening meal and extra for a cup of hot chocolate or coffee.
- Kayaking: Kayaking is another outdoor sport where you don't want to have to carry any more than necessary. Once again, the Trekker Kelly Kettle is ideal because of its light weight, use of natural fuel and how fast it will boil water when you are exhausted from kayaking all day.
- Scouts: Scouting is a terrific youth activity and what better way to teach scouts how to camp, cook and purify water than to teach them how to use the Kelly Kettle. The Base Camp Large Kettle and the Scout Medium Kettle are both perfect for scouting activities. A scout troop with kettles for each patrol is well set up to provide purified water for use in cooking and personal hygiene for each member of the patrol.
- Fishing and Hunting: The Kelly Kettle was created to quickly produce hot water for coffee and other hot drinks while fishing on the beautiful lakes of Ireland. The same is still true today. All three sizes of kettles are well suited for the fisherman or hunter depending on the size of the group and whether you are backpacking into a remote area to catch the big fish or bag the trophy deer or elk or just setting up camp for a leisurely outing.
- Emergency Preparedness and Survival Use: The Kelly Kettles are an essential element of any emergency preparedness plan since in an emergency or disaster situation the most important part of survival is being able to obtain pure water. Without access to electricity and other types of fuel such as gas or propane, it may be difficult to get pure water. Since the Kelly Kettle uses only natural fuels, in a disaster you most likely will still have access to ample natural fuel in order to boil and purify water for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene.
Kelly Kettles are Available in 3 Sizes in Aluminum or Stainless Steel
- Base Camp Large Kettle: This kettle holds 54 oz or about 7 cups of water and comes in Aluminum or Stainless Steel.
- Scout Medium Kettle: This kettle holds 44 oz or about 5 ½ cups and is available in both Stainless Steel and Aluminum.
- Trekker Small Kettle: This kettle holds 17oz or about 2 cups and is available in Aluminum and Stainless Steel.
Also available for use with our kettles is the Cook Set made of stainless steel. This accessory is great for heating food over the top of the kettle and for cooking foods over the fire in the base.
Safe and easy to use, a Kelly Kettle will become one of your most used and valued pieces of outdoor gear!

London Welsh head coach Lyn Jones will make wholesale changes to his back row ahead of tonight's clash against old neighbours Harlequins.
It is the first competitive meeting between the two since Quins won the double over the Exiles in National League One in 2005.
Now they finally meet again in the Aviva Premiership at the Twickenham Stoop.
And after the Exiles' 13-38 defeat on Saturday at home to Leicester Tigers, Jones is ringing the changes.
Mike Denbee replaces Lee Beach at openside, Ed Jackson comes in at number eight, while Daniel Browne moves to blindside flanker in place of Ed Williamson.
In addition, Matt Corker will replace Kirill Kuleman in the second row and Tyson Keats will make his debut at scrum-half.
Jones said: "It is not nice when you go down 38-13 but that's the way it is.
"You've got to take it on the chin and come back bigger and better.
"That's the challenge for us tonight. We need to recover, we need to plan and we need to improve certain areas of our game.
"Leicester had a lot of detail in their game.
"They have been playing together for a long time. That was just lacking for us.
"We understand where we are, but that will come.
"It's about trusting the process, but it is going to take time.
"I thought our scrum against Leicester was excellent and our defence was
"We were stepping up and in the first 20 minutes we were naive, but we've got foundations to build upon."
The Exiles have to wait more than a week after tonight's game before they take on Exeter Chiefs at the Kassam stadium on Sunday, September 16.

I'm not a baker. I mean, I can follow a muffin recipe and end up with a tasty result. But, as much as I want to, I can't seem to jump on the cupcake bandwagon. I don't experiment with cookie doughs. I've never made a layer cake that wasn't lopsided and I never worry about plonking a carton of store-bought ice cream in front of guests at dessert-time.
Given the choice between a brownie bake-off and a chilli cook-off, I'd choose the chilli every time. And I'd love every single taste test and chilli-perfecting tweak of the process.
All of this must lead you to understand why the holiday season fills me with dread. See, I'm a food blogger. That means that people expect good food when they walk through my door. If they come to my house over the holidays, they not only expect mouth-watering roast beef and cloud-like mashed potatoes floating on a river of rich gravy, they also expect a dazzling tray of cookies that shout "Holiday Cheer" with every bite.
I don't want to disappoint them but I'd rather spend my precious holiday cooking time making cheesy toppings for canapés than fussing over those little bites of sweet. Over the years I have therefore come up with several recipes for festive and fun holiday cookies that are quick and easy to make. Here's one of my favorites.
Chocolate Muesli Snowballs
These delicate snowballs are deceptively rich. And yet, they're probably the healthiest choice on your dainty tray because of the whole grains and fibre in the muesli. Pretty, easy, delicious and healthy. Does a holiday treat get any better than that?
Makes 2 dozen cookies
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ cup packed Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup (½ stick) Unsalted Butter, cut up into small pieces
- ¼ cup Milk
- ¼ cup Cocoa Powder
- ⅓ cup Smooth Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
- ½ tsp Vanilla
- 2 cups of Bob's Red Mill Old Country Style Muesli
- 4 oz. White Chocolate, broken or chopped up into pieces
- ⅓ cup Bob's Red Mill Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
Line a large baking sheet with aluminium foil. In a medium saucepan combine the sugars, butter, milk and cocoa powder. Warm them together over medium heat stirring continuously until they reach an even boil. Remove the pan from the heat and allow everything to hang out for a minute.
Smooth in the peanut butter. Add the vanilla. Stir. Then add the muesli and stir until everything is evenly slicked with chocolate.
Drop heaping teaspoons of the chocolate muesli onto the foil-lined baking sheet. Use your fingers to smoosh each chocolatey clump together a bit. Put the baking sheet full of cookies into the fridge until they cookies cold, at least 1 hour.
Pour the coconut into a small bowl. Set it aside. In the top of a double-boiler placed over simmering water, melt the white chocolate (no special equipment is required. Find out how to make a double boiler out of a bowl and a saucepan here).
Remove the cookies from the fridge. Holding a cookie top-side down by its edges, give it a shallow dip in the chocolate and them immediately dip the chocolate-coated side lightly in the coconut. Repeat the double-dip with all of the cookies, placing them in a single layer in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Before serving, chill the cookies in the fridge until the chocolate has set, at least 30 minutes. Store the cookies in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 7 days or in the freezer for 3 months.
Happy Holidays!

ELIT/WMST 21: Women's Literature: Analyzing the Heroines and Villains in Women's Literature
Quarter: Spring 2012
Units: 4
Section 1
Office Hour: MW 9:30-10:20
Location: L-75
Time: 11:30-12:20pm M-TH
Required Texts:
Class Syllabus: ELIT 21 Syllabus
Class Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/ELIT-21/324794977569693
Course Description:
ELIT/WMST 21 is a 4unit literature course focused on the study of literary works by and about women. We'll interpret readings from various genres and styles, including multiple perspectives and experiences of culture, history, race, class, and sexuality. And we'll acknowledge and account for alternate interpretations, noting how the distinctive qualities of each text—plot, character, theme, style, point of view, and related narrative concerns—contribute to our interpretations. Through reading, writing, and talking about how women's lives are represented in these texts, we'll also explore the socio-cultural historical conditions shaping these depictions and consider what this might tell us about our own lives, times, and attitudes.
Course Objectives:
You will get the most out of this class if you have already successfully completed EWRT 1A.
Each of your assignments will receive points. Here is a list of the assignments you will do and the total points possible for each assignment:
All class time counts and attendance every day is required. After four absences, you will be in danger of being withdrawn from the course. Two tardies are equivalent to an absence. Students who are absent are responsible for all announcements made, assignments given, and material covered. Students are also responsible for turning in all assignments on time. Assignments turned in late will lose 1 full letter grade for each class day missed. Group work, quizzes, and tests missed due to unexcused absences or tardies may not be made up. Note: If you are absent any day the first week, I will drop you to give your spot to a wait-listed student.
Literary Debates (75 Points x 2 =150 pts)
For this assignment, you will battle your fellow scholars in a literary debate about the texts we have read. Your goal will be to convince the audience to agree with your interpretation of the text. There will be two formal debates throughout the quarter.
Literature Analysis Paper: (100 pts total) In order to develop and appreciate the keen awareness of narrative/poetic forms, themes, images, literary styles/movements, and historical contexts, you will be asked to a detailed 2-3 pg analyses of a character in one of the texts we have read.
Quizzes: (10 pts each, 100 pts total)
Because this class has a lot of reading, I want to make sure that you are keeping up with the reading and understanding it. These quizzes will be a combination of short answer, analysis of a passage, and passage identification. The questions on the quiz will be taken from texts that we discuss in class and texts we do not discuss in class, so make sure you read everything.
Term Paper (200 pts)
This paper will be 5-8 pages and can focus on one text or one theme in several texts. It can also be developed from one of the student's response papers.
Final: (150 pts)
Because this class covers an enormous amount of women's literature, we cannot read everything. Your job for the final will be to work in a team and prepare a short presentation on an author that we did not get a chance to read or that you think should be included in the next ELIT 21.
Participation: (150 pts)
ELIT 21 is a discussion-based course. Your class "presence" will be public and you will be asked to express your ideas about the texts regularly. Students are expected to do the assigned readings before each session and to come prepared to discuss the readings in both small groups and class discussions. If you remain passive, you will do poorly. If you attend every class but participate minimally, the highest grade you will receive for participation will be a C. You must be prepared, engaged, and involved in the classroom community in order to succeed.
Weekly Responses: You will pick one question from the discussion/study questions and write a 1/2-page response answer. These responses will be due weekly on Thursdays and should be treated as informal writing. The purpose of this assignment is to get you thinking about the texts, reacting to them, and brewing ideas for the formal papers.
Extra Credit Opportunity:
Review of a Film/Play Version of One of Our Texts: (50 points): Women in Literature have frequently been transferred to the silver screen, so this assignment will allow you to truly analyze how this changes our heroines!
Each of your assignments will receive points. Here is a list of the assignments you will do and the total points possible for each assignment:
All class time counts and attendance every day is required. After four absences, you will be in danger of being Withdrawn from the course. Two tardies are equivalent to an absence. Students who are absent are responsible for all announcements made, assignments given, and material covered. Students are also responsible for turning in all assignments on time. Assignments turned in late will lose 1 full letter grade for each class day missed. Group work, quizzes, and tests missed due to unexcused absences or tardies may not be made up. Note: If you are absent any day the first week, I will drop you to give your spot to a wait-listed student.
Class Policies:
I am interested in your ideas as well as how clearly you can discuss the ideas of others. If you use the ideas of anyone else (printed, friends, on-line), acknowledge your source immediately in parentheses. If you use the words of a source, use quotation marks and acknowledge the source. In general, plagiarism automatically results in an F for the entire course. If you are uncertain about the rules for using a source, come see me before you turn in the assignment.
Please, come to class on time! Turn all cell phones and ipods off or to vibrate before class starts. Also, remember to be courteous to everyone in the class, even when you disagree.
Late Work:
Please turn your work in on time. All late work will lose half a letter grade for every day it is late, but it is better to turn work in late than not at all.
Written work:
Please type, double-space, and use 12-point font, use MLA formatting and citation style, and include your name on all of our class assignments. If access to a computer will be a problem, please let me know and we'll work out a solution.
About Course Content:
This is an adult level course; therefore, the subject matter of readings and discussions will contain adult material and will not be censored.
The Reading Load:
This class is a literature class, so the reading load is high! You should expect to read on average 80-100 pgs a week, but some weeks that will be higher. Do the best you can, and if you fall behind, it is your job to catch up, not the course's job to slow down. Also, the texts we read can and will be challenging, so please make sure to take good notes and come up with questions as you read so that you can be prepared to participate in class. Finally, keep this in mind: the texts that disturb, anger, or confuse you the most upon first reading are usually the ones that end up teaching you the most.
If you have any special circumstances that you feel may influence your performance in this class (a diagnosed learning disability, physical disability, or anything at all that might interfere with your learning), please come chat with me so that we can create a learning environment that works for you.
I look forward to working with and learning from all of you.

I have a tin-based silicone mold I want to pour a wax copy in to make corrections to the textures. Is this wax suited to be melted and poured?- Asked by tim on 25-Jun-13
The people at Amaco say that this product can be melted and re-shaped, but it is actually formulated as a wax to be carved, and not for mold-making. So we are not sure how it will work with your tin-based mold, whether it will pick up all the detail. We have other sculpting waxes, but they are of the same nature for casting the lost wax method, etc. The latex molds would probably be too flexible.- Answered by MisterArt on 26-Jun-13

US senators push for immigration overhaulJames Rosen and William Douglas
Published: January 29 2013 - 12:09PMThe plan would balance tougher border enforcement with creating a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants.
Washington: A bipartisan group of eight prominent senators has laid out an ambitious overhaul of the patchwork US immigration system that would balance tougher border enforcement with creating a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants and new opportunities for seasonal farm-workers to gain legal status.
The senators beat Barack Obama to the punch, scrambling to unveil their plan a day before the President was scheduled to outline his own proposal in Nevada, a western state with a rising tide of Hispanic residents.
While only in his first term, the star of the senators' group was Marco Rubio of Florida, a charismatic Cuban-American who has tied his political fortunes and a potential 2016 White House run to his dramatic life story as the son of political refugees from Fidel Castro.
The high-powered group also included the second- and third-ranked Senate Democrats, Richard Durbin of Illinois and Charles Schumer of New York, along with 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain of Arizona and Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolinian with a reputation as a maverick willing to work across party lines on tough issues.
Democratic senators Robert Menendez of New Jersey, also of Cuban descent, and Michael Bennet of Colorado joined the group, as did Republican senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, just starting his first Senate term.
Senator Schumer said this may be the year Congress finds a breakthrough on a problem that has vexed the nation's leaders for a quarter-century.
"The politics on this issue have been turned upside down," Senator Schumer said. "For the first time ever, there is more political risk in opposing immigration reform than in supporting it."
The new bipartisan plan would allow the country's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants to obtain a green card only after fulfilling a number of requirements: registering with the government; passing a criminal background check; settling back taxes; and paying a fine for having entered the US improperly.
If they met the first standards, undocumented immigrants would get in line behind green card applicants already pursuing legal residency. They would then have to learn English and US civics, show a record of past and current employment, and pass another background check.
The plan has a significant new element that was not part of the 2007 initiative: undocumented farm-workers who "have been performing very important and difficult work to maintain America's food supply while earning subsistence wages" could earn a path to citizenship through a different and presumably more lenient visa process for agricultural workers.

Britton Scores Hat Trick - Moore Makes Clutch Saves in Final Seconds to Lift Lions to Victory
SALISBURY, N.C. – With less than 30 seconds to play, and the Lions leading by one, Saint Leo sophomore goalie Dave Moore made two clutch saves to hold Catawba College off the board, securing a 9-8 victory over the Indians on Wednesday evening from Shuford Stadium. The Lions, who received votes in the latest USILA Coaches Poll, advance their record to 3-1 on the season, while Catawba drops to a mark of 0-3.
Leading the way for the Lions was Miles Britton, with a team high three goals on the afternoon. Ryan Burke matched Britton in overall points, tallying two goals and earning an assist. Matt Obermeyer, Kevin Hutchinson, Michael Mastracchio, and Mike Kavanagh each tallied one goal, with Hutchinson grabbing the game-winner with 7:32 to play in the fourth quarter. Dylan Yonts and Jake Kavanagh added an assist apiece to close out the Lions' scoring efforts for the day.
Will Cothron won 13-of-19 faceoff attempts, and led the team with six ground balls on the day. Defensively, Moore earned his keep, making 10 key saves on the day while facing 33 shots and 18 shots on target.
The Indians were led by John Scheich, who tallied a hat trick of his own, while Steven Ridolfo netted two as a total of seven players contributed to Catawba's final score. In cage for Catawba, Pete Wesselman logged 15 saves as he squared off against 36 shots and 24 shots on goal from the Lions.
Catawba jumped out to an early lead and posted two quick goals before Saint Leo could get on the board off of a goal from Burke with 8:37 to go in the first quarter. Mastrachio pulled the score even at 2-2 with a goal at the 7:15 mark, but two more goals from Catawba closed out the quarter with the score set at 4-2 in the Indians' favor.
Both teams were stagnant in the second stanza, and entered into the halftime break after a scoreless 15 minutes with the score still at 4-2.
The third period saw both teams trade blows, which was ignited by Britton off of an assist from Burke with 13:28 on the clock to pull Saint Leo to within one, 4-3. Catawba answered back 22 seconds later to pull back out to a two score advantage, 5-3, but Britton answered back nine seconds later to set the scoreboard at 5-4.
Scheich notched the next goal at the 11:13 mark, but a goal by Kavanagh three minutes later brought the Lions back to within one goal, 6-5, with 8:54 to go in the period. Catawba had the last say in the third quarter, notching a goal with 3:57 to go, putting the Lions in a two goal deficit entering into the final period, 7-5.
The Indians extended their advantage to three early in the fourth quarter, pulling ahead to 8-5 thanks to an unassisted goal from Adam Hebert with 13:42 on the clock. The goal kindled a fire in the Lions that ignited a four-goal run that began with Obermeyer placing a shot between the pipes with 12:51 to go.
Burke fired a shot to the back of the cage at the 11:59 mark to pull the Lions back to within one, 8-7, and a minute later Britton fired a shot into the goal on a man-up opportunity to knot the score at 8-8 with 10:51 remaining.
Yonts and Hutchinson teamed-up on another man-up advantage at the 7:32 mark to net the Lions' final goal, giving the Green and Gold their first lead of the day. Catawba had a few looks at cage as the minutes counted down, including two solid looks with under 30 seconds to play, but Moore's impressive play held the Indians off of the scoreboard and secure the Lions' third victory of their young season.
Saint Leo led the shot count, 36-33, and won the ground ball battle, 31-26. The Lions were successful on 12-of-14 clear attempts, and scored on 2-of-4 extra man opportunities. Both teams committed 12 turnovers.
The Saint Leo men's lacrosse team returns to action on Wednesday, March 5, when they take on Wheeling Jesuit at home. Game time against the Cardinals is slated for 7 p.m. Fans will be able to catch all of the action live on the Saint Leo Sports Network at SaintLeoLions.com.

WINTER PARK, Fla. - A total of 24 student-athletes have been named to the 2013 All-Sunshine State Conference Men's Soccer Team. For the second-straight season Tampa's Tyler Blackwood was selected both Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year. Rollins' Walker Hume was named Defensive Player of the Year, while his teammate Tosan Popo was chosen Freshman of the Year. Saint Leo's head coach Keith Fulk was tabbed Coach of the Year.

As part of a collaborative effort with and funding from the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART), the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) seeks applications for funding basic scientific research in the development and validation of a risk assessment tool with both static and dynamic factors designed for use in criminal and juvenile justice systems to estimate the short-term risk that juveniles with a history of sex offenses may recommit sex offenses. This program furthers the SMART Office's mission to identify, promote and support best practices in the field of sex offender management. The risk assessment tool can (a) be available in the field of juvenile justice currently but not validated empirically; or (b) be developed for the purposes of this solicitation. The risk assessment tool should be validated in up to four sites that are geographically and demographically diverse, should include protective factors, and should be capable of estimating short-term risk of reoffending no more than 1 to 3 years into the future for juvenile sex offenders.

Oil gained for a second day after a government report showed stockpiles declined for the first time in three weeks in the US, the world's biggest crude user.
Futures advanced as much as 0.5 percent in New York after climbing 0.7 percent yesterday. Crude inventories dropped 1.5 million barrels last week, the Energy Department said. They were forecast to rise 1 million barrels, according to a Bloomberg News survey of analysts. Prices also rose as the Labor Department said fewer Americans filed applications for unemployment benefits. Oil pared gains yesterday after Israel and Hamas agreed to a cease fire.
"An improvement in US initial jobless claims and a surprise decline in domestic oil inventories were supportive," Mark Pervan, head of commodity research at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. in Melbourne, said in a note today. "Reports of a ceasefire in the Middle East removed some of the geopolitical risk premium in oil."
Crude for January delivery rose as much as 39 cents to $US87.77 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange and was at $US87.67 at 12:06 p.m. Sydney time. The contract increased 63 cents yesterday to $US87.38, the highest since Nov. 19. Prices are down 11 percent this year.
Brent for January settlement climbed 17 cents to $US111.03 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The European benchmark contract traded at a premium of $US23.36 to West Texas Intermediate, down from $US23.48 yesterday.
Israeli conflict
Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas agreed to a ceasefire that started at 9 p.m. local time yesterday after talks brokered by Egypt's Islamist leaders and the US More than a week of air strikes and missile attacks have left at least 150 people dead in Gaza and killed five Israelis, according to officials.
US gasoline stockpiles dropped 1.5 million barrels last week, the Energy Department report showed. They were forecast to rise 1 million barrels, according to the median estimate of 11 analysts in the Bloomberg survey. Distillate supplies, a category that includes heating oil and diesel, slid 2.7 million barrels, compared with a 1 million barrel decline in the survey.
US jobless claims decreased by 41,000 to 410,000 in the week ended Nov. 17, the Labor Department reported yesterday in Washington. The number of applications matched the median forecast of 48 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's and women's cross country competed in their first official track meet of the spring season, Saturday afternoon from the University of North Florida Spring Break Invitational. Multiple Lions began the morning with a long 5000m run against competitive runners from all over the United States, and numerous Saint Leo runners earn top honors on the day.
"Overall we had solid performances over conference schools that also competed, it helps us gauge our strength for next fall," said head coach Melissa Miller-Mangen. "Valentin had a break through race and as a freshmen, there is no doubt that the 14:59 barrier is in reach for him."
In addition, women's senior Jillian Browne jumpstarted her final track season with a personal best time in the 5000m event.
"Jill sets a good example of stepping outside her comfort zone everyday at practice and her PR reflects hard work and commitment over four years," said Miller-Mangen. "Her first words after the race where, 'I did it!'"
The Lions get back in action on Friday, Mar. 8, when they head to the University of South Florida to participate in their second track of the spring season.
For more information on the men's and women's cross country programs, please visit SaintLeoLions.com. Also, make sure to 'Like' the Lions on Facebook and and 'Follow' the Lions on Twitter and Instagram.


text: Show Hide image Sport 1 May 2013 Kick the racism out of football, don't kick out the discussion of racism Reginald D Hunter's set at the Professional Footballers' Association awards dinner, and the response to it, shines a light on one of the great linguistic arm-wrestles of our time. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML So this has actually happened. The Professional Footballers' Association, or PFA, booked Reginald D Hunter, the comedian, as the main entertainment for their annual awards dinner; and now, after Hunter has duly delivered a typically forthright show, the PFA want their money back. This, for all kinds of reasons, is not a good look. The first reason is one of plain and common courtesy. It is rude, if not unpleasant, to hire a performer to adorn your ceremony and then publicly criticise him or her for being too offensive. It is particularly unpleasant when the most cursory inspection of his material would have made him a contentious choice for the event at hand. The event in question was no ordinary dinner: it was a dinner at the end of two seasons where the issue of racism in football had been discussed at length and yet to unsatisfactory effect. Both Luis Suarez, of Liverpool, and John Terry, of Chelsea, had been censured by the Football Association for their use of racially offensive language. And now, at the end of all this, the PFA booked Hunter to perform: a man who has largely made a career from intelligently exploring the discomfort that exists around racism in contemporary Western society. Now, we don't know for sure what Hunter said during his routine. What we do know is that his set was liberally sprinkled with uses of "the N-word", which is to say, the word "nigger". This is a word which gives me extreme disquiet to type, since it conjures images of burning crosses on lawns, men riding the streets in white hoods, and black men hanging from trees. (See, for example, Claude Neal.) I hate this word because it reminds me of a prejudice that I wish were long gone. But that's the whole point of Hunter's act. He is shining a light where many of us no longer wish to look. Much as we might try to move on from or ignore it, racism is with us still. Black and Asian police officers, for example, have only recently stated their beliefs that the Metropolitan Police Force is still institutionally racist. As Jimmy Gator comments in the film Magnolia: "We may be through with the past, but the past is not through with us." I suppose what I am trying to say is that Hunter is not to be primarily faulted for bringing up issues, however uncomfortably, which are the most pressing in our current social discourse. The PFA could have chosen any number of bland, uncontroversial comedians to fill this berth. Hunter was a subversive choice, and having booked him the PFA should have stood by him. Most concerning of all, though, is the suggestion in several quarters that Mr. Hunter's use of the word "nigger" is somehow just as offensive as if a member of a lynch mob had used it. This is a false equivalency, and a dangerous one. Hunter uses this word to expose the discrimination that exists in a society that often complacently considers itself post-racial. He uses this word rather as a surgeon might use a scalpel without anaesthetic: it is surely painful, but its deep incision ruthlessly exposes the tumour. On the other hand, a lynch mob uses this word as the accompaniment to, well, a lynching. "Nigger", meanwhile, is a word that many black people now use as a term of affection, of solidarity, of sorority or fraternity. Hence Jay-Z and Kanye's "Niggas in Paris". It is a word that black people are still trying to reclaim from the people who wished to break them with it: it is one of the great lingustic arm-wrestles of our time. But here's the thing. I think that the PFA knows this. I think that it made a terrible mistake and is retreating on the basis of anxiety over backlash rather than on the point of principle: a stance which ultimately serves the issue of racism in football no good at all. It seems that rather than kicking racism out of football, the aim is instead to kick the discussion of racism, as Mr. Hunter would propose it, out of football. And that, all in all, is an appalling shame. › Maybe we should start hoping for a recession to fix climate change Musa Okwonga is a Berlin-based poet, journalist and musician.

ayqazi - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkYou know why I'd consider getting this? No stupid Pentile crap! Finally yellow icons will look yellow, instead of having a tint of green to them when I look up close. And, unlike the HTC One, a removable battery and expandable memory! And due to the popularity of the original S4, the Cyanogenmod support will be up-to-date, which is always a good deal! Reply
Brian Klug - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkExactly why I'm actually really excited this has LCD instead of AMOLED for once in a flagship :)

DLeRium - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkBrian - You said something has to give in terms of cost and materials, so we still don't know how good this 1080p panel is right? Is it going to be HTC One-like? Or something worse? Shrug. I like a well calibrated panel, but if it sucks to begin with, there's only so much you can do. Reply

wthr - Wednesday, November 06, 2013 - linkUm, seriously? S-AMOLED is great...if you are not outside, or are never away from a charger for very long. This looks like a great phone, and its battery life is going to kick the shit out of the rest of the (current) Galaxy series. Looks like I found my next phone! Reply
boogerlad - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkThis phone would be perfect if they didn't downgrade the camera. Reply
freespace303 - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkCamera - You wouldn't notice the difference anyway, unless you were doing full page photo prints. Reply
boogerlad - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkIt's not the megapixel count that worries me, it's that various sources say that the camera module is the same as the s3, which means we're getting a previous generation camera. The s4 camera has improvements in other areas other than megapixel count. Reply
Filiprino - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkIt shouldn't be if the pixel size is the same of the current SGS4. Reply
medi02 - Thursday, June 06, 2013 - linkWith S1 => S2 transition getting "previous generation" sound chip meant you'd get better sound. Reply
tim851 - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkMore megapixels also help if you crop your pictures. Because smartphones lack optical zoom and because I'm usually to lazy and impatient, a lot of my pictures are shot without perfect composition, I like to just "shoot from the hip". It's nice to be able to zoom in later on the interesting details.
For me, the camera has become the top priority on a smartphone, seeing that I usually forget to bring my dedicated digicam, or find it a hassle when I don't. So getting last year's camera rules the Active out for me, which is a pity, especially since I find it visually quite a bit more appealing than the vanilla one. Reply
kkwst2 - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkBut unless you're shooting in great lighting, the noise is enough that getting real use of those 13 MP is rare. In real world shooting, you'll usually not get much benefit out of that extra resolution because if you zoom in that far it will look like crap. I'm in favor of HTC's strategy on this one of sacrificing pixels for better signal, since I'm usually trying to shoot indoors in suboptimal light anyway. Reply
darwinosx - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkA heck of a lot of pictures are taken in low light so emphasizing low light is pretty important. Apple also emphasizes low light and their low light pictures are better than the S 4's but not as good as the HTC one. Reply
DLeRium - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkI know the MP wars are stupid, but at the same time image processing is improved each generation with more powerful SoCs. So just because we're dividing a limited sensor size into more pixel doesn't mean we get worse images. If that's the case we'd be demanding Canon to go back to 6MP SLRs instead of the 18MP sensors in crop cameras. The 18mp sensor today is far better than the 6MP sensor in 2003.
With that said, I agree with the cropping ability. Crop is hugely important without digital zoom. With manufacturers emphasizing wide angle now, i take a picture and I get a lot of useless junk all around. Cropping helps.
The thing is the S4 still does marginally well in low light, so I'll take that. If I really want low light shots, the HTC One isn't going to save me. My S95 will with beautiful pictures AND OIS so that it's not just a blur. Reply
Guspaz - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkThe difference is that an 18MP Canon APS-C camera is about 328 mm^2, while the sensor in an SGS4 is about 4 mm^2... Reply

JPForums - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkIt is ruggedized, just not in the way you are thinking. IP ratings are for dust and water resistance, not impact resistance. Perhaps you want the 2500g armor plated and shock and vibe tested model. Yeah, they didn't figure there was a market for a phone that heavy either, so it never made it past the chalk board. Have to agree with you on the moneysink comment though. Of course the American market is the exception as they charge you the same outrageous price for (apparently subpar) service whether you get your free/heavily discounted phone or not. Still for the rest of the world (or at least as much of it as I'm familiar with) there is just something not right about paying the price of a decent laptop and getting a device that will likely need to be replaced within the next 12-24 months.

CZroe - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkThis is just what I need for my motorcycle! I've had new expensive smartphones ruined in the rain before (couldn't remove the battery to save it) and I can't interact with my gloves on to even change the music when I'm pulled over. My Parrot SK-4000's handlebar remote doesn't work if I don't put my head right next to it, which makes the wireless remote effectively worse than wired. I actually bought a Sony Ericsson MBW-150 Bluetooth watch and switched to Android to use it.
I sure hope they do this to the Galaxy Note 3 since that's the phone I really want next. Reply
Death666Angel - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkNot sure how you have the phone installed while driving your bike. I drive through the rain plenty of times and I sweat so the phone gets wet from the outside and inside. But neither of my phones (Touch Pro2, SGS2, GN) have been damaged so far. If you have it mounted outside, there are plastic bags that seal shut but still let you use the touch screen and buttons. They should keep out any rain. :) Maybe it's worth a try. Reply
CZroe - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkI have a Lobster Mount handlebar mount, but it wouldn't be big enough for a Note 3. RAM makes mounts for everything though. Even so, when I ruined my brand new $300 white iPhone 3G in 2008 it was in my pocket and it wasn't even raining yet! I had to draft 18-wheelers all day due to excessive wind in New Mexico and Arizona as a storm approached and eventually came to a place where it had rained earlier. The 18-wheelers kicked up a lot of mist which, unbeknownst to me, the turbulence around my bike's fairings was depositing right into my jacket pocket. My clothes were still bone dry but the phone was stewing in water when I found it. I would have been able to save it if the battery was removable, but that's Apple for you (one of the major reasons I switched to Android). I have used waterproof cases and pouches several times because I went four years without a car, but I really want to be able to just keep it on the handlebar mount while I ride, then I can see the GPS and decide if I need to pull over to take a call (still don't like using the SK-4000 for more than music/GPS directions while I ride).

DrElena - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkNOT SO WATERPROOF!
and Samsung makes no attempts to replace the malfunctioning device
We got our phone on June 21 2013 and tested it in the community pool at 10 inch depth taking two 1-min videos 3 minutes apart.
The camera lenses got fogged, hardware buttons got disabled and the charger port stopped working. Yes, we did ensure the USB charger port was properly covered. The phone's camera was switched to "Aqua mode". Despite all the advised precautions, the phone had leaked water in.
The AT&T refused to exchange it claiming it was ***damaged by water***.
Samsung tech support is talking about evaluation and repair, refusing to admit the phone had a factory-originated problem and making us to accept the fact we have to stick with a $600 "waterproof" phone that leaked the day we bought it..
Is this supposed to be fare? Reply

Today the AMF, the French securities regulator, approved the defensive plan of a group of Hermes family shareholders to pool their stock to create a holding company for over 50% of the company equity without having to make a public tendor offer for other minority shareholdings. Given that the holding company has been engineered solely to make it impossible for LVMH, which before Christmas announced they owned over 20% of Hermes shares, to acquire a majority of the heritage brand, this seems to me to imply the belief that 1) the AMF accepts Hermes' position that LVMH does not have the best interests of the brand at heart, but just Wants To Make Money (horrors!); and 2) Hermes has somehow transcended product status to become synonymous with France, or a certain French heritage/craftsmanship, and the regulators think this deserves protection like any monument.

I bought this single a while ago on a market for less then $5, but can't find any information about it on the internet.
The label shows that it's made in the Philippines and looks fairly old.
I hope someone can give me more information about it, like in which year it was released.

Purchasing is an important industry for the UK's economy and job market, covering a range of areas including inventory, procurement and supply chain. Purchasing professionals are needed across most sectors such as construction and sales, and can involve public and private sector organisations. Popular positions include strategic buyer, commercial manager and production controller, all of which can be sourced by regional and national purchasing recruitment agencies.
The average salary for qualified purchasing staff can vary due to the diversity of jobs within the sector. A typical procurement officer can expect a wage of between £25K-£30K whereas experienced senior buying managers can command salaries of up to £60K. Other job roles in the industry include commercial director, demand planner, supply chain associate and graduate merchandiser. The average industry salary for the UK as a whole sits at £25K although professionals in London can expect higher financial rewards.
When sourcing candidates for clients, purchasing recruitment agencies will generally search for those with qualifications such as NVQs and degrees. Previous experience is also valued though and working your way through a company from an administration role can offer a realistic route into the industry. Entry-level applicants will benefit from qualifications in finance or economics whereas management and executive jobs will usually need a diploma in procurement and supply. An agency may carry out an executive search to find these high calibre professionals. Candidates who register their CVs for permanent, contract and temporary vacancies should note that financial awareness, an aptitude for market research and good organisation are skills looked for by employers wanting to recruit.

YOUNGSTERS were taken back in time to learn what life was like for Swindon people during the First World War.
A special workshop saw dozens of pupils from Ridgeway, Commonweal, St Joseph's, Nova Hreod, Crowdys Hill and Kingsdown invade Lydiard Park Academy.
Run by Swindon in the Great War, a community group set up to mark the centenary of the 1914 to 1918 conflict, students got to try on uniforms and research personal histories of townsfolk from the period.
The students had to produce a leaflet and film based on their research, make dishes from rationing recipes and present displays to children at Oliver Tomkins Junior School.
Dr Mike Pringle, who heads up Swindon in the Great War along with Mark Sutton, said the day was a huge success and had inspired the teens to look into their own family histories.
"It's been absolutely brilliant and the kids really got into it," he said. "They did their own research and you could see when things piqued their interest, they would go off on tangents. It even made us think 'wow maybe we should find more about that'. That's what the day was about, really."
Mark added that he wanted the children to go away with a true picture of war and that enabling them to get hands on with equipment such as rifles and uniforms made it feel real.
"It's getting the message over to them that war was not nice at all," he said.
"The veterans I spoke to, and there are none left in Swindon now, hated war and said they did not want it forgotten or for it to be glorified. That is why we bring the artefacts in for them to touch – they can feel how heavy they are and it brings it to life for them. We don't hide the details.
"They were very receptive to it and I think they are more anti-war than my generation."
Kingsdown School pupil Oliver March, 14, of Lower Stratton, said the day had inspired him to find out more about his own family's part in the war.
"We were researching and finding out about different elements of World War One, including rationing, what other countries did and we got to do some cooking," he said.
"It was really interesting and interactive and I definitely want to know more."
His classmate Matilda Wale was equally impressed.
"We looked at newspaper articles and tried on costumes so it was really hands on and it brought it to life for me," the 13-year-old, of Dorcan, said.
The cap fits for Wilson at the schools' Great War workshop
Commonweal teacher David Kerslake said: "The children learn about the war from a larger perspective in school but the workshop gives them a sense of what was happening in their town during the Great War – it is important for them to think about that."

Mosaic of Misery
Words can't describe what Hurricanes Charley and Frances did to Florida boaters, so we're letting the images do the talking.
By Capt. Bill Pike / Photos by Robert Holland
It's always the same. You start by hearing people talk about the hurricane "out there." Then you track it while your emotions roller coaster with the changes in projected path and category status. If you're savvy, you move your boat, sequestering her in a hurricane hole amidst a cat's cradle of mooring and anchor lines or trailering her inland. Should the path target your home, you lose heart. You look around at things, like old clocks and cherished photographs, and say goodbye. The skies turn gray, dark. Then an ominous, cloying calm comes, fraught with sluggish, whirring insects as you cover the windows with plywood, prioritize your possessions, and pack up, harboring perhaps a shred of hope.
Hurricane season was bad this year… real bad. I know, and so does Robert Holland, who shot these photographs, because we're both Floridians. Hurricane Frances made landfall near Holland's home in Stuart, and my home in the Panhandle was in the paths of Bonnie, Frances, and Ivan. Both of our homes survived without much damage, and our boats made it through as well. As you see at right, thousands were not so fortunate.

DETECTIVES are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a 27-year-old woman was robbed at knife-point as she walked home in Burnley.
The robbery took place shortly after 11pm on Thursday when the woman was approached by a man as she walked along the rear alley of Abel Street, close to the junction with Violet Street.
The man threatened her with a knife and demanded her mobile phone.
The woman refused and the man has then held it to her throat, before taking her blue Samsung S3 mini. He then ran off in the direction of New Hall Street.
The suspect is described as being a local man, 6ft tall, medium build and was wearing a dark coloured waterproof coat.
DC Dave Walker said: "I would appeal to any witnesses who may have any information in relation to this matter to contact me, DC Dave Walker or DC Matt McGuiness at Burnley CID on 01282 472242 or 101."
The woman sustained a small cut to her neck but did not require medical treatment.

And in case you didn't read the title; SPOILERS AHEAD.
Just got done watching the premiere. Gotta say, I'm far more excited for this season than I've been for any one since four. Killing Rita was probably the best thing they could have done for the series, even though it took two seasons for it to hit its full effect. What I mean by that is they were writing Dexter to a point where he was beginning to gain a true human side. That's wonderful character development and all, but it did not make for a compelling show. Seasons 5 and 6 started to walk that back a bit, but Season 7 seems to be the closest Dexter's come to his old, sociopathic glory in quite a while.
I also like that this is the first season in a while where I've felt some continuity. Generally the past couple seasons of Dexter have felt very weird and stand alone, with as little mention of previous seasons as possible. The Ice truck Killer and the Bay Harbor Butcher both felt like they had very little impact outside their respective seasons, so it's nice to have one season dovetail directly into the next in such a fashion, and also have those two factors finally come back in to play.
What about you? What did you think of the premiere? What do you want to see this season? Predictions?
