I was on the copy desk, far from any action, but many things are indelible in my memory.
We were living in Largo. I was about to leave for my shift, which was afternoon-evening, when a neighbor came running to the door, shouting for us to turn on our television. That's when I learned he had been shot, but not that he was dead.
I had to leave for work and there was no radio in the car. I took East Bay Drive, U.S. 19 and Haines Road to the Allendale area, and then drove through Allendale to Fourth Street. When I reached the corner, I saw a funeral home with its flag flying at half-staff, and I didn't need a radio.
The St. Petersburg Times newsroom was in controlled pandemonium. I don't recall whether I handled any assassination copy that day; more likely, I was editing state and local news.
But I was standing at the teletype when the first flash came in that a suspected Marxist, Lee Harvey Oswald, was being held in connection with the shooting. Times Publisher Nelson Poynter was standing nearby when I announced that.
His face fell.
"Oh, no," he said. "I was hoping it would be a right-winger."
In the days that followed, many of us helped ourselves to souvenirs: the half-tone engravings of John Kennedy that had accumulated in the library files. There came a time when we needed to illustrate articles that referred to the time, and we had to have new half-tones made because the ones already made had been so depleted.
We were expecting our second child any day. Names had already been chosen, but there was no doubt that should it be a boy, his name would be John. That's how Daniel became his middle name when he was born a week later."

DIY decor is a great way to add a personal touch to your apartment without breaking the bank. However, with the endless possibilities and inspiration found on Pinterest to paint, knit and refurbish, it can be overwhelming sometimes to know where to begin. There's a solution to kick starting your DIY hobby, and that's where Darby Smart comes in. Darby Smart is a community of designers that creates DIY project kits with everything you need to create style without the hassle of finding the right stencils, molds or fabrics.
We decided to give it a try and created the Chic Striped Vases ($24) since they are perfect for creating a large impact in a small space with bold lines and a fun fringe. Check out how we did it and a find a few of our helpful hints below!
The kit comes with instructions, two cans of Krylon spray paint, super glue, three tall glass vases, metallic gold thread and tassel end caps. You'll need your own painter's tape and scissor! We also suggest having a rag, nail polish remover and Q-tips handy in case you make mistakes.
Step 1: Apply Tape
Start creating your design with the painter's tape. You can make zigzags for a chevron effect or simple stripes.
If you want your base to be white with black stripes, paint one vase completely white and let dry before taping (about 15 minutes).
Step 2: Spray Paint
Start spray painting over your tape. Make sure that the tape is tight against the glass to avoid drips. Try spray painting from about 12 inches away at a downward angle in quick, light motions. This way, you won't get the drips you see here.
You may want to spray paint outside so you don't make a mess and stink up your apartment. If you don't have outdoor space, put down some drop cloths and open a window.
Step 3: Paint Touch-Ups
After the paint has dried completely, peel off your tape and check out how you did. We had a few drips here and there so we soaked a Q-tip in some nail polish remover to correct any blemishes.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
To create the tassel, take one package of metallic gold thread and cut it in the middle without allowing the thread to unravel. Split the pile in half for two tassels and bend each in half. Drop 1-2 drops of super glue into your tassel end. Quickly insert your bent tassel thread into the end. When finished, cut the ends of the tassel and fringe.Take your time with the tassel! If you happen to get super glue on your hands—don't panic. Apply some nail polish remover (with acetone) using a cloth, or you can soak them in warm soapy water.
Voila! Now you have three beautiful vases to place around your apartment!

The Official Home Page of The NYC Municipal Water Finance Authority
New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority Announces Successful Sale of $362 Million Crossover Refunding Bonds in Mixed Market
The New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority ("NYW") today announced the successful sale of approximately $362 million of tax-exempt fixed-rate Fiscal 2002 Series D, E and F crossover refunding bonds. Today's refinancing achieved NYW's savings target on refundings of present value savings of over 5% of the par amount of bonds issued by NYW, for a total savings of over $18.8 million. Yields (interest rates) on individual maturities continued to be at historical lows relative to other comparable issuers and were roughly equal throughout the maturity range to yields on the NYC Transitional Finance Authority, one of the best trading issuers in the market. The yield spreads ranged from 15 basis points below the MMD Triple-A Scale in several of the earlier maturities to 13 basis points above the scale for the longest maturity.
The structure of the approximately $42 million Series D bonds included serial bonds from 2005 through 2019, and a term bond in 2020. Yields on the serial and term bonds ranged from 3.08 percent in 2005 to 4.97 percent in 2020. The structure of the approximately $214 million Series E bonds included serial bonds from 2007 through 2025, and a term bond in 2026. Yields on the serial and term bonds ranged from 3.43 percent in 2007 to 5.07 percent in 2026. The structure of the approximately $106 million Series F bonds included serial bonds from 2008 through 2028, and a term bond in 2029. Yields on the serial and term bonds ranged from 3.61 percent in 2008 to 5.10 percent in 2029.
The strong support of the syndicate in member orders in addition to the over $100 million of priority orders from institutional investors permitted an improvement in the yields at the end of the order period. In the final pricing, yields were reduced by 01 to 05 basis points in eleven earlier maturities.
UBS PaineWebber Inc. was the book-running senior manager on the bond sale, with First Albany Corporation and Merrill Lynch & Co. serving as co-senior manager on today's transaction.

Diane Kruger: I've dated hoarders
Diane Kruger has dated many men who were "hoarders".
The German actress is currently in a relationship former Dawson's Creek star Joshua Jackson.
Whereas fashionable Diane doesn't have much interest in keeping her boyfriend stylish, there is one habit she helped him kick.
"[Do I have input in his style?] Not really. I think men in general want to look good for their women, because they benefit immensely from the attention," she quipped to British magazine Glamour.
"I will say that a lot of men I've dated, and in particular Josh, are hoarders. They seem to not be able to throw anything away from the time they were 15 years old. That had to go."
With both Diane and Joshua facing hectic Hollywood schedules, it can be difficult for them to spend time together.
The pretty blonde says they try to make the most of the little things as a couple.
"Things that for people are normal are actually the things that are really exciting to us at this point," she admitted.
"What's boring is travelling just to go and see each other for two nights. They say it keeps the relationship spicy or whatever, and I'm sure it does to a certain extent, but it was getting old. I said to [Josh] the other day, 'I'm really looking forward to being bored of you.'"
Despite the couple hoping to spend more time together, it doesn't look like their work schedules will be slowing down anytime soon.
Diane has just finished filming crime drama The Bridge and the 36-year-old isn't worried about work drying up with age.
"This has been my busiest year yet," she explained.
"But I don't really look at it that way - I feel there's a time for everything in life. I'm not married to my job and, with age, I realise there are many things I want to do in my personal life, so I can totally see myself not doing that forever. I love what I do and if it keeps coming, great, but it's not something that if it goes away then I have nothing."
For the pretty star turning older has actually allowed time for reflection.
She feels that with age comes the wisdom to look back at mistakes she made in the past.
"When I turned 30, I realised how ignorant I really was. I always thought I had a very accomplished life. I lived on my own and I was financially independent since 15; I speak different languages, I've travelled the world. I thought, 'Oh, I'm so smart,'" she admitted.
"I realised through my personal travels how little I know about certain conflicts, because I was too vain or self-absorbed to ask the questions. That's been the focus while I'm in my thirties - to become an accomplished woman, rather than some actress."

Osaka to Tokyo
I'm wondering if it's worth it for myself and my husband to get JR passes while visiting Japan for 10 days in August.
I used to be an expat living in Osaka so I have a general idea of how to get around but when I lived in Japan I never travelled on the JR lines.
We are flying into Kansai and then spending a day in Osaka followed by 5 days in Nara with a day trip to Kyoto. Then we will go back to Kyoto to take the Shinkansen to Mt. Fuji for a night and then over to Tokyo for 4 nights. While in Tokyo we will do a day trip to Nikko. We are flying out of Japan from Tokyo.
Do you think it's worth it to get the 7 day JR Pass?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there!
Lets compare the cost of a 7 day rail pass (¥28,300) against the cost of JR tickets:
TOTAL: ¥26200 for 5 legs
As you can see the total cost of JR tickets is less than that of the 7 day rail pass. Unless you do more JR travel than you have indicated, it will make most sense for you to use individual tickets as needed I think.
You can look up precise train timetables and costs at the Hyperdia travel planning website and learn how to use Hyperdia through our video blog.
Hope this helps!

Starting from $258.00 for 7 days of unlimited Japan Rail travel

Camden Fairview wins Class 5A football title
LITTLE ROCK (AP) - Matthew Ollison threw for two touchdowns and Deion Holliman added a pair of scoring runs as Camden Fairview rallied for a 28-10 victory over Batesville on Friday night in the Class 5A state championship.
Batesville (10-4) led 10-0 at halftime, stifling a Cardinals team that came into the game averaging 46 points per game. But Camden Fairview scored just two plays into the second half, as Ollison connected with Braxton Hoof on a 77-yard touchdown.
The Cardinals (14-0) took the lead for good late in the third quarter, when Ollison passed to Jamie Smith for an 8-yard touchdown. Deion Holliman scored on a 37-yard dash with 4:44 to play, and sealed the victory for Camden Fairview with a 31-yard run with 2:22 left.
Ollison completed 10 of 12 passes for 220 yards.
Camden Fairview capped a perfect season and claimed the state title after falling in the finals in 2009 and 2010. Batesville finished as runner-up for the second straight season.Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Mexican singer/songwriter Julieta Venegas established herself initially as a cutting-edge Latin alternative artist during the late '90s, before her career shifted direction significantly with her third album, Sí (2003), a broadly appealing pop/rock effort graced with genuine hits, including a couple chart-toppers. In the wake of her 2003 breakthrough, Venegas didn't look back. Her next album, Limón y Sal (2006), was just as broadly appealing as its predecessor, and it was an even bigger hit, spawning several major hits and finding success in Western Europe as well as the Americas. Moreover, Venegas was as acclaimed as she was popular, customarily earning the praise of critics and winning awards, including numerous Grammys. Her musical abilities were sometimes overlooked, for in addition to writing and singing her own songs, she plays numerous instruments, including guitar, accordion, and keyboard. Venegas also made a name for herself as a collaborator, writing songs for and performing with a range of Latin artists, from Paulina Rubio and Mala Rodríguez to Miguel Bosé and Los Tigres del Norte.
Born Julieta Venegas Percevault on November 24, 1970, in Tijuana, Mexico, Venegas is the daughter of two photographers and is one of five siblings. Her sister, Yvonne Venegas, is a notable photographer whose credits include Ely Guerra and RBD. Julieta embarked on her musical journey at a young age, studying piano from the age of eight. In addition to piano, she also studied musical theory, singing, cello, and violoncello at La Escuela de Música del Noroeste, while she also crossed the U.S. border to study at South Western College in San Diego -- all of this before she even graduated from high school. During her school years she began playing with various bands, including Grupo Chantaje and Tijuana No! (composing one of the latter's more significant hits, "Pobre de Ti").
At age 22 Venegas moved to Mexico City, where she hoped to involve herself with the city's vibrant music scene. Given her talent and beauty, it didn't take her long to make acquaintances, among them Fratta and Café Tacuba. She began writing music for plays around this time, including +Calígula Probablemente by Francisco Franco, and she also took up the accordion. Venegas then started a band called La Milagrosa, enlisting Fratta and Rafael González, but when she was offered a contract with BMG, she dropped the idea of forming a band and began work on her solo debut, Aquí (1997), which she recorded in Los Angeles with esteemed producer Gustavo Santaolalla (Café Tacuba, Juanes, Molotov).
In addition to writing the songs on Aquí and singing them, Venegas also played the accordion, piano, and guitar; a number of guests also played on the album, among them brothers Joselo and Enrique Rangel (Café Tacuba), Rafael González (Botellita de Jerez), and Patricio Iglesias (Santa Sabina). BMG released the album in the United States and Spain as well as throughout Latin America, and it won critical acclaim in all corners. Venegas also toured a lot, embarking on the De Viva Voz tour with Ely Guerra and Aurora y la Academia (which stretched across North America) and the Calaveras y Diablitos tour with Los Fabulosos Cadillacs and Aterciopelados (which hit the major cities of Spain). During this same late-'90s era, Venegas contributed her talents to a number of albums by other artists (Enrique Bunbury, Mastretta) and to a number of soundtracks, too (En el País de No Pasa Nada, Amores Perros), and she performed at a number of major festivals as well.
During roughly this same time period, Venegas found time to write and record her second album, Bueninvento (2000). A bit of a departure from her debut, Bueninvento is a full-fledged rock en español album and features a backing band of veteran session men: Joe Gore (guitar), Fernando Saunders (bass), Joey Waronker (drums), and Rick Boston (sax, flutes). More tours and soundtrack contributions followed: the Revolución tour with Jaguares, Jumbo, La Gusana Ciega, and Lisa Flores; the Fémina Rock tour with Aterciopelados, Maria Gabriela Epumer, and others; and the films Demasiado Amor, El Sueño del Caimán, Asesino en Serio, María Llena Eres de Gracia, and Subterra. She also got her first Latin Grammy nominations: Best Rock Song for "Hoy No Queiro" and Best Rock Album for Bueninvento.
Venegas subsequently settled down in Madrid and Buenos Aires to record her third album, Sí (2003), with producers Coti Sorokin and Cachorro López. Six of the album's ten songs were co-written with Sorokin, and the resulting album was a significant change from her past efforts: a colorful pop/rock album. Every song on Sí clocks in between three and four minutes in length; the hooks are memorable and melodic; the music is generally fun and upbeat; and all of it is broadly appealing rather than confrontational, as her past music had often been. Also unlike her past work, Sí took off commercially, going triple platinum in Mexico, topping the album chart there and breaking into the Top Five on the stateside Latin albums chart, and spawning four big hits ("Andar Conmigo," "Lento," "Algo Está Cambiando," "Oleada"), three of them reaching number one in either Mexico or the United States. The success of Sí led to a Latin Grammy for Best Rock Solo Vocal Album in 2004; plus, there were a trio of MTV Music Video Awards, for Best Solo Artist, Best Artist (Mexico), and Artist of the Year.For her next album, Limón y Sal (2006), Venegas once again worked with producers Coti Sorokin and Cachorro López, and once again came up with a broadly appealing, hit-laden pop/rock album. The lead single, "Me Voy," spent 12 weeks atop the Mexican singles chart; it also was a number one in Spain, a Top Three hit in Italy, and a Top Ten Latin hit in the U.S. A string of follow-up singles (including "Limón y Sal," "Eres Para Mí," and "Primer Día") followed "Me Voy" up the Latin American and European charts (Limón y Sal itself topped charts in Mexico, Columbia, Argentina, Chile, and Central America; plus, it went Top Five in Spain, Top Ten in Switzerland, and Top 200 in the United States). Venegas continued to command heavy airplay for the string of singles from Limón y Sal well into late 2007, at which time a best-of collection, Realmente Lo Mejor, was issued. Meanwhile, the accolades continued: a Grammy in 2007 for Best Latin Pop Album, a Latin Grammy Award in 2006 for Best Alternative Music Album, and a MTV Video Music Award in 2006 for Best Solo Artist. In 2008, Venegas released an MTV Unplugged album. Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

OREM — Fans got their first look at the 2013-14 Utah Valley University wrestling team Wednesday night at the annual intrasquad dual, and team green walked away victorious with a 26-20 win over team black.
The exhibition contest came down to the final match of the evening as the green team entered the bout with just a three-point lead. Freshman Abel Gomez (184 pounds) helped team green win the dual as he held on to defeat fellow freshman Ty Rosevear, 3-2.
"I was looking for intensity from our guys tonight and some of them still have ways to go," said head coach Greg Williams. "Despite that, I liked that a number of our guys got into the positions that we want but overall we've got to get better at creating our shots."
In all, 20 Wolverine wrestlers took part in Wednesday's intrasquad, and four recorded wins by fall. Senior 174-pounder Monte Schmalhaus as well as newcomers Rosevear, Jordan Karst (heavyweight) and Trevor Willson each picked up a victory via pin. Schmalhaus led the way with the fastest fall of the night, as he defeated freshman Aryton Almberg (197) in just 57 seconds.
Four other Wolverines won their bouts via major decision Wednesday, as senior Curtis Abner Cook (165) upended junior transfer Ross Taylor, 10-1; junior Ethan Smith (184) defeated Gomez, 10-2; junior Sam Mecham beat freshman Max Sultan, 11-1; and sophomore Chase Cuthbertson (157) bested fellow sophomore Logan Addis, 10-2.
Returning NCAA Qualifier Jade Rauser, who is ranked 13th on the InterMat Preseason Poll at 125 pounds, also picked up a win as he beat redshirt freshman Bracken Nipko by decision, 6-2. In a battle of upper weights, sophomore Derek Thomas (197) picked up a 4-0 victory over junior David Prieto.
Addis and freshman Koleton Hardy recorded the other two wins on the night as they each won one of their two matches by decision.
"I was anxious to see how a couple of matches would turn out," Williams said. "I'm excited about what Derek Thomas can do this season after his win over David tonight. I was also looking forward to watching both Trevor Willson and Bracken Nipko and I liked what I saw from both of them."
Also seeing time on the mat Wednesday were senior Avery Garner (141) and freshman Dalton Brady (133). With both nursing minimal injuries, the two took part in a drill match where they showed off some of their moves against one another.
The Wolverines now look ahead to Saturday when they'll officially begin their season at the Cowboy Open in Laramie, Wyo. The open tournament will feature wrestlers from 20 different teams, and action will begin at Wyoming's War Memorial Fieldhouse at 9 a.m. Following Saturday's season-opening tournament, UVU will head to Grand Junction, Colo., on Nov. 9, to participate at the Colorado Mesa Open.

When skin gets dry in cold weather, it flakes off like a snowflake—which would be beautiful if it weren't a dead part of you. Get a flurry of compliments with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $49 for one PCA chemical peel or ultra peel (a $110 value)
- $139 for three PCA chemical peels or ultra peels (a $330 value)
The PCA chemical peel contains hydroquinone, which effectively corrects melasma, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation while inhibiting active acne. The ultra peel, on the other hand, does not contain hydroquinone and is suitable for a wider range of skin types. With minimal stinging sensation, the ultra peel exfoliates skin, fades acne and sun damage, and reduces the signs of aging. An initial consultation will help to determine which peel is right for you.
Noelle's Spa in Studio S Salon
At Noelle's Spa the aestheticians – with more than 30 years experience between them – practice carefully curated repertoire of anti-aging skin, hyper pigmentation, and sun damaged skin treatments. The team precedes each of their sessions with a complimentary skin consultation to determine which of their chemical peels, facials, or other medical-grade treatments best addresses each client's unique skin condition.

MAROONS winger Darius Boyd is an increasingly likely Origin starter as he makes progress with a bruised ankle.
Coach Mal Meninga will give Boyd until Friday to prove his fitness on the ankle he injured in the Knights' loss to the Warriors last Sunday.
Melbourne winger Justin O'Neill arrived on the Sunshine Coast yesterday as a standby player for Boyd, but Meninga is confident the 14-game Maroons winger will run on to ANZ Stadium next Wednesday night.
"He is getting his injury treated. He's a pretty good chance of playing actually," Meninga said.
O'Neill sprints in as Boyd cover
"He has a badly bruised ankle but he's doing everything possible he can to play. We will probably give him until Friday (to prove his fitness).
"We have Justin O'Neill arriving in camp so if Darius doesn't play, Justin gets his opportunity to do Queensland proud.
"The first 48 hours are pretty important, so when we get into camp (last night) we will have a better idea of where he sits and how the bruising is and if the swelling has gone down.
"The medical staff assure me that within two or three days we will know if Darius is a chance."
Meninga had fewer concerns over the fitness of Ben Te'o, who would be available for the series opener despite suffering a corked shin in South Sydney's loss to Cronulla on Monday night.
Hayne, Klein referees for Origin I
Whether the Maroons forward would be available for selection was another matter.
QRL chairman Peter Betros said he hoped the NRL's integrity unit would deliver a verdict this week, possibly as early as today, after looking into accusations by Brisbane woman Katie Lewis that Te'o assaulted her.
"We're governed by what the game will do, we know the integrity unit is investigating what happened and we will make our final judgments when their investigation has been done," Meninga said.
Maroons skipper Cameron Smith said O'Neill, his Storm colleague, would not be daunted by a Queensland baptism if Boyd succumbed to injury.
"He's been in the Emerging Origin squad for a few years," Smith said.
"Justin is a teammate of mine at Melbourne and he had a great game on the wing the other night (against the Roosters). We have our fingers crossed for Darius. Hopefully he gets up, but if not we have a good replacement in Justin."

From time to time, I have wished I had an example of a particular technique I wanted to use in Mule ESB. Those wishes never seemed to come true. So some of the Confluex developers and I decided to make one, and begin creating a series of example projects – a Mule cookbook.
Our first example is the Imperial Manufacturing example. (See our quick guide for help using git with Mule Studio) It is a Mule 3.3 CE application that exposes a simple RESTful web service using the Jersey module. It validates requests using an XML schema, then calls a java SDK, and updates a database using JDBC.
The API that this application demonstrates provides a REST service that accepts orders for droids. These orders are represented as XML documents that must conform to an XML schema:
When the request is received, information from the request is used to call an SDK provided by the droid manufacturing plant. Each of the items is then inserted into the order database so that the finished products can be delivered to their intended destinations.
Key Concepts
- Provides a REST web service using the Jersey module and JAXB for XML parsing and generation
- Validates incoming XML requests using XML Schema, and returns a 400 status code when invalid
- Calls a java SDK using spring with information from the request
- Updates a database using the JDBC transport
- Automatically tests each of these things using FunctionalTestCase with an in-memory database and mock objects

text: I've had trouble configuring a replacement dialer, as the S4 dialer is a nightmare to work with. Unfortunately, I can't find an option to set a replacement dialer as the new default. I can open the dialer and call, however if a call comes in, or if I hit an e-mail link, it defaults to the stock dialer. On my HTC phones I could set the default as either stock or replacement. Anyone figure out how to do this? I'm using Apex launcher, and tried Swipe Dialer Pro - and ran into the same problem, which the dev is trying to figure out. Is there any solution? thanks!

I need to get a menu (below) to work with Drupal. I don't care how it gets done be it JS, CSS or what have you, I just need to match this type of function within Drupal 6.x and using the graphics rather than text. I'm not looking for someone to do it for me, just push me in the right direction to get it done.
Thank you for any help you can give me,Harp!
Hi,I wouldn't think you need to do anything special for drupal but I could be wrong abut that.
I would suggest that you just use a typical suckerfish dropdown, it would just need a script for li:hover in IE6 as always.
Here are some examples you can look through if you are not sure how to get started.
You would just need to set up some classes so you can target each LI with a specific image. You will find just about every variation of menus in that second link.
I would encourage you to set up an image replacement technique though so your menu still makes sense if the viewer has images disabled.

By Amy @BubbleJobs
Apart from the amazing career prospects, cool mix of people and cutting-edge techniques and technology, one of the major perks of working in the digital industry has to be the sector's somewhat relaxed attitude to work-wear attire. Yep, just like the creative industry, lots of employers in the digital industry impose a strict no-uniform policy and instead urge employees to dress in a smart/casual fashion in a bid to encourage digital innovation and development.
Now, I for one am a major fan of the industry's relaxed attitude to work-wear. On a Monday morning when you're a bit sleepy from the weekend, there's nothing better than throwing on your favourite jeans, trainers and hoody and heading out the door for another (fingers crossed!) successful week of work in the ever-changing digital sector. And it seems I'm not alone. Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg is notorious for loving the old jeans-trainer-hoody combo – and even turns up to the social network's important press conferences sporting a subtle variation of that very look.
That said, while casual dress is amazing when you've actually got the job, it can cause a bit of a headache when it comes to actually getting the job. Picture the scene: you apply for a job with a trendy digital industry and they invite you for an interview. Great. On the invite they mention they have a "casual dress policy" and tell you to "wear whatever you feel comfortable in"…. Uh-oh! You're in trouble!
You see, while it might sound great on the face of it, being told to dress casually can actually cause more headaches and raise more questions than the actual interview itself. I mean, what do they class as "casual"? How casual is casual? You know what you feel comfortable in – but could you ever actually wear that to the job interview? Should you just forget the "casual" element and dress smart?
Now, while every agency and digital company is going to have its own interpretation of "casual", there are a few general tips we can give you that should help to steer you right, no matter who the employer. First up, they've basically told you to dress casually so under no circumstances should you dress smartly. There are a few reasons for this; first up, if you dress smart, you'll be going against their wishes – something which is never advisable when it comes to a job interview.
Secondly, when it comes to job interviews, they're looking for candidates who will fit into their existing business – by dressing smart, you're making yourself stand out from the "norm" of their business and instantly setting yourself apart so there's a chance they'll struggle to picture you among their existing employees. Similarly, a smart suit can make you feel uptight and formal – two words which aren't really favoured in the digital industry these days! By dressing casually, you'll naturally be more relaxed and as a result you'll be able to portray a better, more confident image.
OK, so now we've established you definitely have to go for the casual look, there are a few things you have to remember. First up, like we mentioned earlier, everyone has a different interpretation of casual – so it's a good idea to do your research. You're going to need to research the company before the interview anyway so you can effectively kill two birds with one stone. When looking at their website or social media profiles, keep your eyes peeled for photos of their employees and offices – and check out what everyone is wearing. This should help to give you some guidance on what is/isn't acceptable.
Once you've done this, it's time to start reviewing your options. When it comes to the casual job interview, it's fair to say it's definitely all about balance. While a suit and tie is out of the question, holey trainers and stained jeans aren't exactly an option either. Smart/casual is the look you're aiming for, so start off with a super-smart option and then slowly swap items out to make it more casual.
Whatever your gender, a jeans and shirt combo is a nice middle-of-the-road option – the jeans show you've considered the casual aspect, while the shirt shows you're keen to portray a professional image. Similarly, a skirt and t-shirt can also work really well. Then it's up to you – you can either dress it up with heels and smarter shoes or keep it casual with pumps or smart(ish) shoes.
When it comes to digital job interviews, employers normally want to get a sense of who you are as a person so don't be afraid to let your personality shine through in your outfit. Just to clarify; quirky things like unusual jewellery and accessories are fine, but explicit t-shirts are definitely not!
So there you go; a few top tips to help you master the illusive casual interview. At the end of the day, first impressions do count – but it's important to remember that you're being interviewed for a job at a digital agency/business – not a fashion house – so your outfit really isn't the be-all and end-all. When it comes to digital jobs, enthusiasm, qualifications, core skills and confidence count for a lot more than fashion sense – so try and bear this in mind next time you start obsessing over what to wear for that casual job interview! 🙂

Strawberry-Chocolate Dumplings
The Cutest Strawberry-Chocolate Dumplings You've Ever Seen
The following post was written by Seton Rossoni who blogs at Pixel Whisk and is part of POPSUGAR Select Food.
Whether you call them dumplings, potstickers, or gyoza, they're always delicious. Dumplings are a must-have dish every time I dine out at a Chinese restaurant, but very rarely do I make them at home. They're actually quite easy to make, and these dumplings are unexpectedly sweet with a strawberry and chocolate filling.
Since these dumplings are like no other, a soy dipping sauce just wouldn't work. So what sauce would work with a fruit-filled, sweet dumpling? Enter the balsamic reduction. A simple balsamic glaze serves as the perfect sauce for any strawberry treat. I chose strawberries because I happened to have them at home, but the filling possibilities are endless. Try figs and dark chocolate, bananas with Nutella, or even pears and walnuts. (A pan-seared wonton wrapper can pretty much make any dessert combination delicious.)
Here are a few tidbits of dumpling knowledge that I picked up as I made these:
- Make sure that the lid goes on right as you pour the water in to steam the dumplings otherwise the hot oil will go everywhere!
- Don't overstuff the wonton wrapper, and pinch edges tightly to seal the seams.
- Eat while they're still warm.
Makes up to 24 wontons
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 pound strawberries, rinsed and chopped into small pieces
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Wonton wrappers
About 1 cup dark chocolate chips
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup light brown sugar to a simmer. Continue to simmer until the mixture thickens and has reduced by half. Cool slightly, then transfer to a small bowl for serving.
- While the balsamic/brown sugar mix is reducing, macerate the strawberries by placing the chopped strawberries into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons light brown sugar. Stir and set aside for at least 20 minutes.
- Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, place a heaping tablespoon full of the strawberry mix in the center of the wrapper. Add several chocolate chips on top of the strawberries. Wet your finger in a small bowl of water and use it to dampen all four edges of the wrapper. Bring two opposite corners of the wrapper up to meet one another and press them tightly together to seal, then bring the remaining two corners of the wrapper up to meet the first point. Squeeze seams along the four edges to seal completely and set dumpling aside. Work quickly so wrappers don't dry out.
- Heat 3 tablespoons high-heat vegetable oil in a skillet (that has a lid) over medium-high heat. Place dumplings in a single flat layer on the oil and cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes to crisp the bottoms of the dumplings. Reduce the heat to medium. Add 1/4 cup of water to the pan and quickly cover to steam the dumplings. Be careful, hot oil hurts! Steam for 3-4 minutes, then take off the lid and gently remove the dumplings to plate.
- Generously drizzle the balsamic glaze on top of the dumplings (or even sprinkle with some confectioners' sugar) and serve with the remaining glaze.

This past week I enjoyed a couple of really engaging and useful videos. The videos seem to be on wildly different topics: the Roman Catholic Church and homosexuality. But they did share one thing in common. They both discussed issues or people we're told never change or shouldn't change, but actually do.
In the first video, Robert Godfrey briefly reflects (7 minutes) on a recent article in Modern Reformation about the changes of the Roman Catholic Church over its history. Of course, one can't be exhaustive in 7 minutes, but Godfrey clearly and succinctly refutes the notion that the RCC maintains an unbroken consistency from its beginning. Helpful.
In the second video (HT: JT), Marvin Olasky interviews Rosaria Champagne Butterfield, a wife, mom, former English professor at Syracuse and a former lesbian. Her recent book, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert, tells part of her story and provides some helpful insight into the gay and lesbian community. We don't get many glimpses into the lives of persons with same-sex attraction, and Butterfield provides a look that shows us how possible change really is and how much work we need to do to be welcoming in the best sense.
I hope you're helped and encouraged with these discussions.

Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Prefer to Cooperate When Petted: Integrating Proximate and Ultimate Explanations II
Cooperation poses theoretical problems because the behaviors of individuals can benefit others. Evolutionary and game-theory explanations that focus on maximizing one's own material outcomes are usually supported by experimental models with isolated and anonymous subjects. Cooperation in the natural world, however, is often a social act whereby familiar individuals coordinate behaviors for shared outcomes. Social cooperation is also associated with a cooperation bias expressed as a preference for cooperation even when noncooperation is immediately more beneficial. The authors report on evidence for such a bias in a captive group of bottlenose dolphins that voluntarily preferred to receive petting from human guides by using a pairwise coordinated approach, even though this was more difficult, and total petting amount was thereby reduced. To explain why this bias occurs, the authors propose an integrated behavioral-evolutionary approach whereby performance is determined by two kinds of immediate outcomes: material gains and intrinsic affective states associated with cooperating. The latter can provide reinforcement when immediate material gains are reduced, delayed, or absent. Over a lifetime, this proximate mechanism can lead to cooperative relationships whose long-term ultimate consequences can be adaptive.

Thanks everyone for the bacon tips! Very much appreciated.
Nancy, I have microwaved bacon, but didn't know you could do it in layers. Much easier than 4 strips at a time! I usually cook a pound at a time just to get it all over with because I hate cooking it and cleaning up after so much.
ascherer, great freezing info which I will definitely try. Thanks! Do you strain bacon grease before you use it? My Grandmother always used it as her cooking fat of choice, and she used to make me bacon toast - bread fried in bacon fat. Yum!
ddalmas, that's a really interesting way to cook bacon. Never thought of doing it that way, but will try it too.
My current method is to use a half sheet pan lined with foil and a stainless steel wire rack that fits in the pan. I grease the rack well, lay out the bacon, and bake it at around 400 degrees until done. Since the rack is stainless, I can put it in the dishwasher. As long as the foil doesn't rip or leak, I don't have to wash the pan. :)
Thanks Nakibi.
jdouglas13 - I cook a pound or two at one time. I normally fry it so I can keep the bacon grease to use for other things (like my breakfast bowls). I cook it to the crispness I like and then drain on paper towels. Once it is all cooked and cooled, I just wrap it up in layers with paper towels between the layers (4 to 5 strips a layer). Put it in a large ziplock bag and pop in the freezer. Because I layer it between paper towels, I can just pull out a layer and sit it out when I start cooking something. It will be close to room temp within 5 to 10 minutes - no defrosting needed unless you are going to use the whole bag.
My Mother uses the paper plate method Nancy uses. I like to have the bacon grease to use for cooking other things. Gives a great flavor without the bacon when needed.
I cook a whole package of bacon at a time in the oven. There are lots of variations of recommended methods for this online, but I line up the strips in a large glass lasagna baking dish, overlapping a second layer of strips to get them all in one pan, then bake at 350 for 15 minutes, flip the strips over with tongs, then bake again for 10-15 minutes or until done. I let them cool on paper towels, then store them with the paper towels in a large ziplock bag in the fridge. They don't last long enough to bother freezing them.
jdouglas - have you ever microwaved the bacon on paper plates with paper towel layers between 3-4 pieces? I do that all the time, then just toss the greasy mess in the trash.
I cut the bacon strips in half for easier fitting on the plate.
I take a paper plate (something like a dixie plate, not regular cheap white paper ones), fold over a paper towel, place that on the plate, then an open paper towel sheet on that, layer 3-4 pieces, another single paper towel on top, another layer of bacon, another paper towel.
I usually put 3 layers of bacon per plate - then microwave on high 3-5 minutes depending on how crisp you like it (I prefer mine 'nuclear' - very crisp!). Then once you're done, the whole greasy mess can be tossed :)
No more greasy pan and spattered cook top.
I'm looking for 2 more of the .75/1 12pk dr. pepper q's in case anyone has them I can use. email me at email@example.com
jdgoulas-yes, i made the fork marks. And like you said, it drove me nuts! I ended up making a ton of gnocchi, but did freeze a lot of it. Definitely tasted better than prebought, but so much more work! lol...
lindalarry-cheapest place for the finish if you are only using the q and no sale is WM...
smolder, gnocchi are somewhat similar texture-wise to biscuit-type dumplings that you make in a stew, but are much smaller. Think 1/2 x 1 inch, max. They are a little dense and a bit chewy, although, perfectly made from scratch, they can be lighter (haven't mastered that yet! LOL) They are not a filled or stuffed pasta. Just a yummy little doughball all unto itself.
ascherer, can you tell me more about freezing cooked bacon, how you package it, and what you need to do to use it after defrosting? I never thought about freezing it, but it sure would be a time and sanity saver. I hate cooking bacon, so if I could get it all done at once, I'd be a happy girl!
Thank you everyone for the ideas on cheap tissue paper!

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
There's nothing quite like the feeling of emptiness of raising a glass with loved ones, knowing your own children aren't there to enjoy the celebrations. Or waking on your child's birthday and realising you're not going to be seeing him until later in the day, week, or even the year.
Such is the life of a single parent.
Sure, you'll probably get to celebrate your own 'second Christmas' or birthday another time soon, but is it ever quite the same? And do you ever get over the guilt that you're not giving your children the happily ever after, 'intact' family experience they were meant to have when you welcomed them into the world?
Coping with special events as a single parent, quite frankly, sucks. In fact, coping with the day to day life events that parenting throws at us can be a struggle. Think of all the important moments like starting school, after school interests, medical emergencies, health procedures, and sports days, each of which could potentially be missed when it's not 'your' time to have the kids.
It's especially hard for parents who are used to being the primary carer. To go from being with your kids 24-7, to only a percentage of the time depending on Family Law Court arrangements, is a huge change, for both parents and children.
It's natural that it can take time to get used to.
It's the 'special occasions', in particular, that are the worst for most single parents. Times when it seems the rest of the world are playing happy families, and while our own relationship choices or even failures have forced us into being apart from our kids.
The danger zones are times such as Christmas, Hannukah, New Year, Valentine's Day, Easter, birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, weddings, anniversaries, or any other special events that were shared events in your lives.
In the early days of separation, even your daily life without your kids can loom lonely and meaningless. Once noisy, breakfast times are now quiet and uneventful. Dinner is eaten alone and in front of the telly. Bedtime, minus the stories, cuddles, and last-minute calls for water.
I can't tell you the times when my children may have only just left for their time with their dad, and yet I'll have the urge to phone them and check they are okay. And of course, I resist, because that would not be cool.
Or when I get a phone call to say one of them is a bit unwell, or has had a fall, but they're fine and I'm not to worry. But I do, and I listen to their little voice at the end of the phone, and I hang up and cry. Because I want to go straight over and look after them. Because I can't. Because it's not My Time.
Then there have been the nights when I've done the middle of the night hospital trips on my own, and slept in a chair by the hospital bed, wishing I had someone to help support me, or even take over while I perhaps grabbed a coffee or took a quick trip to the loo.
Once you're separated and/or divorced with children, it's a fact of life. Unless you're one of the lucky few who have a particularly great relationship with your ex-partner.
But eventually, it does get better.
You learn to treasure those child-free times, when you can perhaps see friends or even date, catch up on work or study, or sleep in on a weekend.
Yes, you will still ache for your kids. You still feel like there's a part of yourself that's missing. But slowly, you learn to make the most of that child-free time so that you can get as much done as possible while they're not with you. All the better to spend quality time with them when they are there.
While it's true that the kids do get hurt, as the experts say, they are amazingly resilient.
"We're lucky, because we get two Christmases," said Miss Eight, as she tore into her presents at my house on their "second Christmas" last year. And you know what? She's probably right.
As I watched them enjoy their presents, followed by a relaxed family lunch, and much silliness with crackers, party hats and sparklers, I realised it was one of our happiest and relaxed Christmases ever. Even if we didn't celebrate it on December 25.
Which proves my point - kids are happier living with two happy parents living separately than with two parents living miserably together.
For parents, resilience can be a bit tougher to learn, so here is a guide based on the advice of separated and divorced Australians who contributed to my book Happily Ever Parted (Surviving Separation and Divorce), published by New Holland Australia.

Andiara Petterle: Go Team!
"Yes, there is room for any kind of rude people on a team, if their rules aren't clear for everyone. I think some people just play better playing solo. But it certainly represents harder work for a manager to combine different kinds of people. But I think most of the time it is worth it. And a brilliant person, well-managed, is a great asset for any company." — Andiara PetterleFCS

What is a leader?
We are passionate about our belief that leaders are developed, and we also believe that you do not have to have "direct reports" to be a leader. Leadership development is an on-going process that begins when you join an organization, well before the time a person becomes a supervisor. We all lead by example, the question is what type of example are we setting? Putting the right building blocks in place to grow vibrant leaders within your organization is where great organizations excel. Every day.
While the "deep water development" technique for leadership development may have been what some leaders have experienced in their career, we do not believe that leadership development needs to be so haphazard, nor risk inherent. Our leadership development process is based on a five-step model with a built-in process for continuous feedback and improvement. It starts with setting the right direction and expectations, continues with hiring the right people for now and for the future, and then develops individuals and teams by providing them with the appropriate skills and competencies to set them up for success. The five steps in the process are then regularly evaluated for continuous improvement using a feedback loop on all five aspects of the leadership pie. If you would like to learn more about how this process can help your organization or to get a snapshot of where your organization is today and how to move it to where you want to be tomorrow, please contact us.

This weeks catch is lifted from, what at first looks, a rather bizarre compilation courtesy of the Grasslands Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
As an early Christmas present they've collated a range of tracks from bands and artists that have graced the homegrown psychedelic venue over the past year or so, hence the eclecticness. Disappointingly for us the compilation is not particularly to our taste but there are a couple that stand out, and none more so than a cheeky little number from our old friend Sweater Beats.
As you may remember Sweater Beats was one of our early COTW's and now the only producer to be featured twice, strange considering we'd never heard of him before we started Dub Bait!
The track itself is a short and modest sounding little number, but still retains SB's tight production, and with its warm Christmas cheer has easily beaten off all other competition this week. In all honestly though, it's probably the beautifully timed sample at 1:35 from 'Elf' that sold us, it actually made me laugh on first listen! I'm far too easily pleased!
Anyway check it out along with his other tracks as it seams he's been exploring new territory of late and 'nailing it' pretty damn good! …nothing new there then!

For a team that already lost Greg Jennings and Donald Driver during the offseason and is now dealing with a knee injury to Jordy Nelson that will keep him out until at least the regular-season opener, the last thing the Packers need is another lingering injury at the wide receiver position.
Randall Cobb's biceps appeared to be bothering him Tuesday at Green Bay's training camp practice, according to head coach Mike McCarthy, but he fought through the pain and practiced anyway.
For Cobb, he's struggling with the push and pull of trying to prepare himself and the team for the 2013 season and resting himself because it may be in the best interests of his own personal health.
"The hardest part for me is, I'm a tough guy," said Cobb. "I want to be on the field. I don't want to miss practice. I hate missing practice. Trying to be smart and being tough at the same time is difficult for me. But I understand that I have limitations and that I have to be smart about it, but it's hard and difficult at times."
The logical follow-up question to Cobb when he met with the media on Tuesday was, do you think you were smart today?
"No," said Cobb succinctly, declining to elaborate.
The injury first cropped up during the Packers' annual Family Night intra-squad scrimmage back on Aug. 3, though Cobb couldn't pinpoint when it happened. It wasn't enough to stop Cobb from playing, but the first-string offense wasn't exactly out of the field for a long period of time in any case.
Cobb soldiered on as if nothing happened and participated in the team's next practice on Tues. Aug. 6, although he dropped out in the midst of that session. He returned again on Wednesday, but practiced on only a limited basis the rest of the week.
The Packers erred on the side of caution during their preseason opener, keeping Cobb relegated to the sidelines. It seemed like the proper decision, preventing him from making the injury any worse.
But there was Cobb, back out at practice on Tuesday, perhaps in spite of common sense. Even so, Cobb didn't seem overly concerned, and neither did McCarthy.
"In Randall's case it's something we understand what the injury is, and we wouldn't put him out there if we thought that he was in jeopardy of moving forward and getting healthy," said McCarthy. "But every case is different.
"There's a lot of time that's spent between the doctors, the trainers, Ted Thompson and then to myself, as far as if a player can't practice, when he's cleared on the physical, is he in the limited category as far as his reps just like Eddie Lacy and DuJuan Harris, or opposed to going full. So it's something that a lot of time is spent. Frankly, it's not one of my favorite things to do because it is very time consuming during the mornings. In Randall's case, I think it's something that he's going to probably be battling for a while."
Based on McCarthy's comments, Cobb's injury would appear to be something that's not going to be put to bed anytime soon. But it's also not something that's going to prevent him from playing, at least when the games count.
The Packers might continue to play safe, trying not to expose Cobb to further injury during exhibition games, but the regular season seems to be fair game.
Perhaps the more difficult decision will be whether to continue playing Cobb in his return role on special teams.
If the Packers want Cobb to be an integral part of the offense in 2013, they may have to sacrifice the surest thing they have in the return aspect of the game.
Players such of Jeremy Ross and Johnathan Franklin have been taking the bulk of the leftover repetitions on kick and punt returns during training camp, but neither has proven without doubt that they can be as dangerous and reliable as Cobb.
No matter how things work out on special teams, Cobb wants to push through the injury that he says is in part limiting his mobility and in part forcing him to fight through a pain threshold.
"I know at some point during the season I'm going to be in pain, and I'm going to have to play. And I'm going to have to be productive when I do play," said Cobb. "Trying to push through it right now is more of a mindset for me. It's nothing to be worried about. I may look like I'm in a lot of pain and I may be in a lot of pain, but I'll be fine."

New order bookings in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 were $28,013,000, an increase of $10,099,000, or 56%, compared to the prior year period. Orders in the North America, Europe and Asia Pacific regions increased $2,444,000, or 45%, $4,312,000, or 38%, and $3,343,000, or 285%, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal 2010, new orders totaled $79,213,000, an increase of $18,648,000, or 31%, from the corresponding period in 2009. Of that increase, North America, Europe and Asia Pacific orders increased $2,946,000, or 16%, $7,005,000, or 18%, and $8,697,000, or 316%, respectively. The impact of currency translation on new orders booked in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 was consistent with the impact on sales.Hurco's gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was 18%, compared to 28% for the same period in 2009. The decrease in profit as a percentage of sales was the result of machines sold during the period which were produced at a time of lower production levels that resulted in higher production costs per machine which increased this period's cost of sales. Also contributing to the decrease was a product mix that included a greater amount of our entry-level, lower margin machines that were in high demand in the Asia Pacific region where competitive pricing pressure also exists. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 were $6,994,000, a decrease of $206,000, or 3%, from the corresponding period in 2009, reflecting the benefit of cost reduction initiatives and the favorable effect of a stronger U.S. Dollar in fiscal 2010 when translating foreign operating expenses for financial reporting purposes, partially offset by increased sales commissions. Cash increased by $16,407,000 from October 31, 2009, to $45,189,000 at July 31, 2010, primarily due to a reduction in inventory. Inventory decreased during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 by $9,254,000, or 15%, of which $2,112,000, or 4%, related to the impact of a weaker U.S. Dollar when translating inventory values for financial reporting purposes.
