Eating on $4.30 per day

How much will you spend on food today?
For breakfast I ate two bananas (40 cents each), a handful of almonds (let's say $1.00), a whole wheat bagel (65 cents), two eggs (21 cents each), and a cup of coffee from the corner café ($1.79). Having spent a total of $4.68, I felt thrifty, and I ate fairly well. I also broke the SNAP budget for an entire day.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) allots about $4.30 per person per day. Figuring out how to purchase 2,000 nutritious calories on that amount is a test of creativity and resources.
Try stretching those dollars when you live in a food desert, miles from a well-stocked, economical grocery store. What if you haven't got any cooking appliances or the money to power them? What if you are working full time, earning barely enough to cover the rent? Would you have the time and energy to search for, purchase, and cook enough food to sustain yourself on $4.30 per day? Somehow you would have to find a way.
This is reality of the farm bill—which funds SNAP.

Quote of the day: Federico Garcia Lorca
The day that hunger is eradicated from the earth there will be the greatest spiritual explosion the world has ever known. Humanity cannot imagine the joy that will burst into the world.

It's Time to Bust Myths About SNAP

by Christine Melendez Ashley
Misinformation about the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) is far too prevalent. Sometimes it seems that I can't check the news—or even Facebook—without reading another inaccurate claim about the program and its participants.
As a domestic policy analyst at Bread, I know that the facts tell a different story. SNAP served more than 46 million Americans in May. Here are some hard facts about the program:

The Importance of Diversity

by Susanne Ramirez de Arellano
Newsroom diversity is necessary. It is the driving force behind the honest and hard hitting reporting that is needed to effectively tackle issues such as hunger and poverty. At this year's Unity conference—the fifth gathering of journalists of color—the hit taken by diversity in the media due to the recession was a central theme, alongside the shifting landscape and the digital frontier.
We exist in a Darwinian media whose architecture is expanding into different platforms with a rapidity that is stunning and at times confusing. Immediacy, flexibility, and mobility are the sons and daughters of the new technology.

Fasting During Ramadan Provides an Opportunity to Act Against Hunger
As droughts swelter in the American Midwest and the Sahel region of Africa, Muslims across the United States are called to celebrate Ramadan. This month of fasting and spiritual reflection continues until August 19, providing a timely reminder of the increasing number of hungry people suffering during this time of climate and economic uncertainty. The prayerful deprivation of food during Ramadan should be connected to the lives of nearly a billion people who are hungry every day.
It is heartening to see such compassion fueling the fight against hunger. This year's Ramadan fast comes at a critical moment for many Americans. According to the latest census, more than 17 million U.S. households are food insecure. Nearly one in four children in our country is at risk of going to bed hungry. Harmful cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly the food stamp program) have been proposed in versions of the 2012 Farm Bill currently being considered before Congress. SNAP helps 46 million Americans put food on the table; the cuts would prove devastating for so many in need.
Opponents of SNAP and other federal nutrition programs say it should be the responsibility of charities to feed hungry people; however, less than 5 percent of food assistance for poor people comes from charities. In fact, most food assistance comes from government nutrition programs like SNAP. While food banks do their best to feed these families, the reality is that the problem is too large: we cannot food bank our way out of hunger.

What Do Liberia and Virginia Have in Common?

by Kristen Archer.
Liberia is about the same size as Virginia, but its poverty rate is nearly quadruple that of African-Americans in that state.
"Hunger and poverty among African-Americans mirror the unjust circumstances many people in African nations endure," said Rev. Derrick Boykin, associate for African-American leadership outreach at Bread for the World. "However, hunger and poverty impacts many African nations more severely, often resulting in disease or even death."

Welcoming the Political Stranger

by Amy Oden
Christians talk a lot about hospitality, about welcoming the stranger in our churches and communities. Yet, in our personal lives we continue to label, categorize, and dismiss the "political stranger"—people who express political views different from our own.
I challenge Christians during this election season to welcome the political stranger, people we often know well (co-workers, family members, neighbors) who seem like strangers to us—alien, confusing, unfathomable. We may wonder, "What kind of person would vote that way? How can they hold that position?"

What do mega church pastors like John Ortberg (Menlo Park Presbyterian), Bill Hybels (Willow Creek Church), and Craig Groeschel (LifeChurch.tv) have in common with leadership experts like Jim Collins (author of "Good to Great"), William Ury (author of "Getting to Yes"), Geoffrey Canada (author of "Waiting for Superman"), and Gary Haugen (president of the International Justice Mission)?
Each has a relentless commitment to creating highly effective, powerful organizations that transform our world.

Ten Ways Christians Can Help End Hunger During Elections

- Develop an "elevator speech" for why ending hunger is important to you as a Christian.
- Register to vote.
- Write a letter to your local paper saying that ending hunger is a priority for you as a voter.
- Learn what the candidates are saying about ending hunger.
- Speak about the importance of ending hunger at candidates' town hall meetings.
- Engage your friends. Make sure they are registered and know what the candidates are saying about ending hunger.
- Magnify your voice by combining it with those of thousands of other Christians. Become a member of Bread for the World; organize an Offering of Letters.
- Engage your church.
- Give money and volunteer time to candidates who are committed to ending hunger.
- VOTE for candidates who are committed to ending hunger.
During the August recess, as we lead up to the lame duck session, Bread members are setting up meetings with members of Congress and their staff at local offices to make sure that hunger issues are part of the campaign conversations.
Contact your Organizer who can help you set up a meeting or find a town hall or just check out our elections resources and keep ending hunger a priority and part of the conversation.

Have You Voted Yet?

While you have to wait until November to cast your ballot in the U.S. presidential election, Bread members have a chance to vote now for their representatives on the Bread for the World board of directors.
And unlike in national elections, in which voters are often subjected to divisive, winner-take-all politics, voting for members of Bread's board is a harmonious action. This multidenominational, bipartisan group of Bread candidates is united in its mission to eliminate hunger—just like you are.
Each year, one-third of our board members are chosen by the entire Bread for the World membership. This year, 14 candidates have put their names forward to represent Bread. Choices range from a former U.S. Presidential candidate to a founder of a food bank. Each of these individuals has already done much to end hunger, and each brings specific insight, skills, and connections to the table. Bread members can vote for seven of them.

eCommerce Canvas Printing Business Website
Closed - This job posting has been filled and work has been completed.
Job Description
This job is for an online canvas printing business.
Customers will upload photos and the system will check for resolution and image size and alert the customer if the image isn't suitable for that canvas. When uploading the customer will see progress and size of upload and time left.
Customers will then be taken to stage 2 where they will select the canvas options whilst viewing their design on screen:
Rectangle, Square, Panoramic, Tiled and Size etc
Choose from Sepia, Black/white, original
Choose edge detail, wrap, mirror or colour
Go to checkout and view picture
I would like to make this a very simple to use and uncluttered website.- I.e. simple as 1 2 3 steps.
Customers need to position the image on predefined various size templates or canvases, for example showing if sides of canvas need print and where the image is to be positioned on the canvas.
When customers choose sizes or options, that needs to be seen on screen and also the price updated.
The site needs to have CMS so it can be updated without complicated code changes
The main product is the canvas, but we need to be able to upload our own pictures and sell ready made prints from a library that customers can view and purchase.
Contractors must indicate how long this project will take and be prepared to start immediately and also what opensource platform will be used.
Examples of previously built sites will need to be supplied.
Skills: design

subset: commoncrawl

"Fondia" starring Caprice A — magnificent model making movie magic…
It's hard to believe it's been two whole years, plus one day, since I've had the pleasure of commenting on Caprice A. Although she's no longer a permanent resident of the Top Ten on the Top Models list, she's still every bit as beautiful, charming, and almost overwhelmingly cute now as she was then. Caprice A is a star, and if you doubt me, you'd better have a look at the Metart HD erotic movie "Fondia" at your earliest opportunity, or sooner!
Director Koenart employs a simple device to set "Fondia" in motion. Caprice receives a text message from a lover reminding her that today's the day they leave for a trip to Paris. She then proceeds to pack for the trip, stripping out of her blouse and denim shorts and trying on two sexy outfits and three different sets of bras and panties. This model's body is the picture of nubile perfection, and just watching her undress, get dressed, and admire her reflection in an off-camera mirror is a treat. And knowing that she's taking more sexy lingerie than actual clothes on her romantic getaway only adds to the enjoyment.
Once the lingerie modeling is done Caprice relaxes, totally nude, on the bed, and occasionally checks her phone for updates. This is when we get a closer look at Caprice, including a generous quantity of explicit close-up footage of her eye-pleasing and extremely enticing intimate anatomy (see the 7:39 mark for a super-close sample). And in this segment of the film some of the narrative slips away and Caprice interacts directly with the camera, and consequently with the viewer. From time to time — jog to 5:17, or 6:54, or 7:45 — Koenart fills the frame with the model's gorgeous face, she poses oh-so prettily, and smiles with a playful and genuine warmth that is a joy to experience.
"Fondia" is a treat, from beginning to end, and it does end on a delightful note. Caprice A is as beautiful and beguiling as ever, confident, uninhibited, relaxed, and playful, and Koenart has done a wonderful job of capturing her beauty and personality in this extremely enjoyable offering — this short film is long on beauty and long on charm. Highly recommended.

Hopefully it's nothing, but it sounds a little ominous, does it not. This report is from The Fourth Rail, a semi-political site that pretty much just report military issues on WOT. It generally has good information and not overtly political. This info is actually coming across several wires now. No, this isn't designed to be a fear-monger post, in order to scare the masses, I just found it peculiar and thought I'd post it to hear if any of you had any thoughts? p.s. As a reminder AQ assassinated Ahmad Shah Massoud, the leader of the Northern Alliance just two days before 9/11, anticipating the Northern Alliance would figure in an anti-Taliban/anti-AQ offensive that was sure to follow.
I'll bet AQ and the Taliban is going to begin a campaign to rid the Muslim lands of garbage (as they see it) like Musharrif and the Emirs and Kings of the Arabian Peninsula. If they are serious about getting all Muslims on their side, this would seem a logical step. Too bad our government has, once again, backed the wrong horses in the Global Sweepstakes.
Concern over nukes as al Qaeda camps empty the US military intelligence community is "urgently assessing how secure Pakistan's nuclear weapons would be in the event President Musharraf is replaced. I take this to mean how are WE going to secure theses weapons quickly if we have to.
Russia must be relieved that we do all we can to be enemy number 1 to the Muslm world; otherwise, they'd be the ones who would most have to worry about a nuclear attack. At any rate, the world is in a very difficult situation, and the United States certainly doesn't have the answer. Bush's WOT has turned a terrible terrorist act into a war. Why that's good for America is anyone's guess, but we're stuck with it, until some peacemakers come to the table.
Obviously NOBODY gave two sh!ts about this report of mine, but here's MORE BACK UP SOME THINK A TERRORIST ATTACK LIKELY WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS ON US SOIL. btw, Stratfor is the best independant intel agency, but I FUKCING Pray they are wrong this time
so important, you offered it twice i guess... i predict nothing will happen in the next two weeks... i also predict in the third or fourth week, the secret police will arrest 12 brown skinned men somewhere in Florida, send them to Gitmo to be erased forever before telling us they saved us all from annihilation.... then, in the fifth week, some fat, bloviating GOP lawmaker will insist the Dems can't protect our children from terrorists...
Of course, because THINKPROGRESS did not tell you as much........ It's okay press, try DU or DailyKos, maybe there is something over there.
lol... do you think you're getting under my skin by suggesting Progress is all i use?... i read more different sources in an hour than you do all week... oops, .. wait, i forgot... you don't actually read your sources...

Alice Jempsa is Los Alamitos Citizen of the Year for 36th Americana Awards from Cypress College Foundation
Marc S. Posner
Friday, February 04, 2011
Alice B. Jempsa is the Citizen of the Year from the Los Alamitos/Rossmoor for the Cypress College Foundation's 36th Annual Americana Awards. The Americana Awards, sponsored by Union Bank, N.A., will be held on Saturday, February 26, 2011 in the Disneyland Hotel's Grand Ballroom.
Very few people have done more to serve Los Alamitos over the years than Jempsa. She expresses her belief: "We all have an obligation to contribute our time, talent, and resources for the betterment of our city so that the quality of life is the best it can be."
A resident of Los Alamitos since 1966, Jempsa was a city council member and the first female mayor elected in 30 years. She has devoted countless hours to projects involving mostly non-profit activities, being a strong supporter of the Joint Forces Training Base, and contributing her time for city- and chamber -sponsored events.
Jempsa has served on the boards of the AQMD, Orange County Sanitation District, and Vector Control. She worked for years with special-education students, has written children's books, and has been active in Rotary's "Reading by Nine" program. She and her husband Marv have been married for 61 years. They have three children and six grandchildren.
Tickets for the Americana Awards are available from the Cypress College Foundation for $225 per person with various sponsorship levels also available. Information is available by calling (714) 484-7126 or at http://www.CypressCollege.edu or http://www.Facebook.com/AmericanaAwards. The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with no-host cocktails and a silent auction. Dinner is served at 7 p.m.
At the awards, Frank Garcia will be honored as the Man of the Year. The owner of La Casa Garcia Mexican Restaurants in Anaheim, Garcia is known as an altruistic businessman who serves those who are less fortunate through his "We Give Thanks" organization.
In addition to the Man of the Year, the America Awards salute citizens of the year from the eight cities in the college' primary service area. Along with Jempsa, citizens of the Year are: Patricia Pina, Anaheim; Diane Scheerhorn, Ph.D, Buena Park; Frann Shermet, Cypress; Pat Halberstadt, Garden Grove; Ron and Elfriede MacIver, La Palma; James C. Caviola, Seal Beach; and Sandra Stubban, Stanton.
In July, Union Bank, N.A., strengthened its partnership with Cypress College, agreeing to serve as the title sponsor of the 2011, 2012 and 2013 Americana Awards. Union Bank has a long-standing leadership role at the college with representation on the Cypress College Foundation Board of Directors. Union Bank's three-year commitment to Cypress College totals $75,000.

after the hustle and bustle in the souks, we found by accident this absolute gem. all the goods from the market and better for a fraction of the price. the prices were placed on the goods. you could look all you want and nobody tried to sell you something. I didn't want to buy anything on this trip and came back from this place with a whole shoppingbag.my advice, take in the atmosphere from the souk but buy at this place. just great.

Again, Deathstroke is impressive, but his armor is simply not as durable or powerful as Master Chief's.
Yes, the plasma bolts and orbital re-entry were blunt force, but that blunt force, as far as I'm concerned, far outclasses the damage of the piercing force potentially applicable in this battle. 4000 feet in the air a SPARTAN-II was able to endure with their shields. It wasn't even stated that the shields wore off after that! And that SPARTAN-II dispatched soldiers right after they landed, without ill effect.
John has constantly been hit with these monsters :
They are designed to tank down aircrafts and large land vehicles. They melt humans in an instant. This thing would dissolve that jet in an instant. Fuel Rod Cannons are also mounted on Hunters. John has shrugged this type of damage off numerous times.

He could have given us another "Sèche tes pleurs" per album and stayed in his comfort zone like so many popular artists do. Not Daniel Bélanger. That's why we're so happy to stick with him, even when he takes the most abrupt turns, like in the jubilant Chic de ville where the musician unveils his love for…rockabilly. Who would have thought that one day Daniel Bélanger would invite us to a 1950's rock'n'roll party? And find a way to weave his classics into it too!

I got some doppler readings off the 6x5.5 on that motor, and IIRC, it was about 98mph. I figured roughly 85-90mph true speed. To be honest, I think the 6x5.5 is too much prop, and bogs that motor down. Just judging my seat-of-the-pants feel, the 6x4 delivers the same speed with a tad more thrust.

Hi Guys, I've been playing round with props and have been able to get a bit more speed out of my stryker (130Km with Eagletree). The only down side is at WOT I've got to put a fair bit of aileron in to keep it level. The fuse is showing signs of age on it and I suspected it was flex in the fuse causing the problem, I had already put base wood ailerons on it sometime ago so I figured they should be ok, so I thought putting a 5mm CF stiffener from wing tip to tip might help. This has improved it a bit but it's still not good. Could the problem be caused by the additional prop torque, can the problem be solved by angling the motor as with front engined planes?
Thanks for your help. |
Mar 10, 2010, 04:34 AM | |
It sounds like your Stryker is just plain old flexing at higher speeds, like you thought.
You could try adding some CF front to back, and then triangulating .210 CF tubing with whatever else you have installed. See picture below for examples. The lowest CF that looks bowed has proven to give wierd in-flight characteristics, so I NO LONGER bend the CF in the rear to follow the wing-tips, the rear most CF stays straight and additional tubes are added following the trailing edge angle What servos are you using ? |

You might have a warp or something uneven in the shape of your wing that gets amplified with speed. Has it always done this or has it gotten worse with age? I've seen Strykers warp with age especially if they sit in the sun. |
Mar 10, 2010, 09:10 AM | |
i'd imagine your A fuse has quite a bit of flex in it. the foam was less dense back then... and they had the separate wingtips dovetailed to each side. i still have my first stryker fuse, too. it's empty of any gear. used to hold two 8cell nimh packs, two channel 1 receiver/esc and two motors. each receiver/esc connected to one servo and one motor. the motors were centered where the vertical fins would be. had to cut some elevon off for that. single vertical fin between the two motors. and can you believe, it worked! had a few flights before moving on. guess i envisioned using the fuse again at some point.
Mar 10, 2010, 10:41 AM | |
Actually mine is the one piece body. The early A version was 3 pieces and not made of Z-foam. Mine is one piece and made of Z foam but is not the B version. I guess it was a "late model A". About a year later they started making the B.
The B version has the extra vents in the plastic covers and the proprietary electronics allowed for lipo. |

I originally bought a Stryker years ago because I lived in a windy place. I have flown it in much higher winds than I would recomend, but overall, out of the several planes I have owned the Stryker is my go-to on windy days. My EDF planes are much more sensitive to wind.
The inexpensive replacement parts ($20 Fuse!), easy customization, and ability to fly in wind and in areas with iffy landing zones (like while camping) are the reasons I have kept a Stryker on hand for the past 6-7 years. |

"As scary as it was being raised by one Jewish mother, I have to feel for my kids because they have two Jewish mothers." – Judy Gold
Emmy Award-winning comedian Judy Gold returns to the Huntington with her outrageous stand-up comedy after last year's triumphant 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother. Bold, brass, and clocking in at 6'3", Judy is ready to divulge all the comic highs and lows of being a Jewish, lesbian, working mom raising two boys in New York City. Judy's electric humor and outlandish opinions are enough to keep anyone rolling in the aisle all night long.
Judy Gold's stand-up specials include "Comedy Central Presents Judy Gold," "Comedy Central Tough Crowd Stands Up" and a half-hour special on HBO, which received a Cable Ace Award. She hosts HBO's "At the Multiplex With Judy Gold", won an Emmy Award for her work on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," and was featured in the hit film The Aristocrats.

Here Comes the Judge — and Check Out Her Peep-Toe Shoes!
Last week, I wrote (with great pleasure) about whether women lawyers should wear peep-toe shoes to court.

(See the update — Judge Susan Graber seemed agnostic on peep-toes, but advised […]

Wearing Peep-Toe Shoes to Court? Women Judges Weigh In
Earlier today, on the Senate floor, debate took place on whether to confirm Solicitor General Elena Kagan as the nation's 112th Supreme Court justice. The Kagan nomination is not very controversial, due to the nominee's impeccable credentials and the Democrats' 59 votes in the Senate. In the legal blogosphere, a far more divisive debate is […]

DIRECTV And DISH Support Passage Of STELA Reauthorization By U.S. House Of Representatives
DIRECTV and DISH Network issued the following statement today in support of Congressional efforts to reauthorize the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA):
"On behalf of our 34 million DIRECTV and DISH satellite television customers, we thank the leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives, along with the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Judiciary Committee, for their bipartisan work to reauthorize STELA for five more years. We support H.R. 4572, the 'STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014,' as an important step in Congress' 2014 STELA reauthorization process.
"Critically, the legislation ensures continuity of service to more than 1.5 million distant signal customers who would, otherwise, lose service at the end of this year. It also addresses one of the most egregious forms of retransmission consent abuse – joint negotiating agreements among broadcasters."

About this location
The Roseland Peninsula region
With its magnificent coastline stretching almost 300 miles and warmer climate, Cornwall is the
perfect holiday destination. The dramatic coastline offers a huge range of activities from water
sports, surfing, quaint fishing towns to explore and the inland beauty offers a varied and diverse
landscape to explore. Cornwall also has a world class food scene from local producers to award
winning restaurants and of course the famous cream teas.
Whilst equal in beauty and interest the North coast and the South coast offer quite different
experiences. The North's long sandy beaches are often pummelled by the Atlantic making it a
surfer's paradise and mecca for all extreme sports. The South is less rugged and offers fishing
villages, beaches, harbours and lovely gardens that bloom in the milder climate.
St Mawes
St Mawes is the principal village on the Roseland Peninsula, situated on the mouth of the Percuil River. An important port in medieval times and now a picturesque harbour with a small fishing fleet, it is protected by the most perfectly preserved of Henry VIII's coastal fortresses, St Mawes Castle. The village remains a centre for a range of watersports activities and offers two fine sandy beaches. In St Mawes you will find a range of pubs, cafes and restaurants, and some interesting shops and galleries.

Why does the water deep inside the oceans not freeze even when the temperature in the deep is extremely low?
A liquid freezes when its body temperature falls below its freezing point and a solid melts when its body temperature rises above its melting point. Though the term, 'melting point,' means the temperature where the solid commences to melt and the term, 'freezing point,' means the temperature where the liquid commences to freeze, these two terms are numerically the same, for a given pure material. However, this value depends on the pressure whereat the change of state (phase) from liquid to solid or vice versa takes place. Handbooks tabulate data of melting points of various substances for a pressure of 1 atm.
There is a famous equation known in Thermodynamics as 'Clausius-Clapeyron Equation' after the nineteenth century European physicists, Rudolf Clausius and Paul Clapeyron that relates the temperatures of phase transformations (melting point is one among them) to the pressure, change of density (during the phase transformation) and the heat of such phase transformation (quantity of heat released or absorbed during the phase change).
According to this proven equation, the melting point of a solid increases when pressure is increased where the density of the solid is higher than that of its liquid. This is usually the case with many of the substances we see around. But the case of water is unusual; water has lower density in its solid state (ice form) than in its liquid state. That is why ice floats on water. For such anomalous substances, the 'Clasius-Clapeyron Equation' states that the melting point decreases with increased pressure. In other words, water can remain as liquid water without freezing (or ice can readily melt) even when the temperature is below 0 C if it is under higher pressure (than 1 atm).
The water deep inside the oceans is under the heavy weight of the water held above it and is, effectively, experiencing very high pressure. So the 'ice' that should have been as 'frozen ice' has its melting point reduced so much extremely low that it is 'already molten' as liquid water; or that water is 'yet to freeze.' This is also a reason why in certain glaciers, water is still in liquid form below the sheets of ice.
Put your palm on an ice block and press it. You will see ice melting under your palm though the temperature there is considerably lower than 0 C.

Uh oh, happy holidays! Final reminder: The Facebook prints giveaway ends this Wednesday. Go here to enter! Also, this might be the last Optipess comic – well, of the year, at least. With some luck there's a chance I will be able to post a comic for next week, but I'm not sure. I guess [...]

Performance of CSI-Based Multi-User MIMO for the LTE Downlink
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The authors consider the application of a Channel State Information (CSI) based Multi-User (MU) Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) scheme to the downlink of 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular networks. For that purpose, they propose a novel feedback method for providing CSI to the Base Stations (BSs) based upon standard vector quantization techniques. Moreover, they introduce and compare different ways for additionally signaling information about the interference situation observed by a certain User Equipment (UE) to its serving BS. Apart from the actual CSI itself, the interference information is essential for choosing appropriate pre-coders and particularly for facilitating an efficient link adaptation.

5 Job-Search Resolutions for 2014
TheStreet) -- January can be a game-changer for workers looking for a career break and moving on to (hopefully) greener pastures.
A U.K. study estimates that 25% of the British workforce calls January the best month for a "fresh start" to leave one job and start a new one.
That process usually starts late in the previous year, when workers feeling unsatisfied over their jobs start networking by sending feelers out on LinkedIn, reshaping their resumes and cover letters and scheduling job interviews. The executive search firm ExecuNet says November and December are highly active months for job changes too, with 62% of recruiters saying hiring decisions and hiring budgets are made in the last two months of the year.
To the in-house recruiters at Progressive Insurance, that means employers who want to change teams have to be ready to roll before the New Year. Progressive's job-search team offers the following New Year's tips for job hunters at year-end:
Be visible. Woody Allen once famously said that 80% of life "was just showing up." Take that adage to heart during your job search by going to industry events, showing up at job fairs, or having lunch or coffee with other professionals in your industry. All are "information gathering" exercises, and the more data you have, the better your chances of landing a great new job. Figure out your elevator speech. If you have 60 seconds in an elevator with a hiring manager, how would you make your case for a new gig? Progressive recruiters advise framing your pitch in 30 seconds or less, and to always have your social media handles ready to give to anyone who can help you with a job lead. Give your resume a makeover. When you target an industry, make sure to find specific examples of good resumes (most recruiting firms have good samples on their websites) and study them. "This is especially important if you're looking to switch industries, since there is no standard resume that is used across the board," Progressive says. Leverage old contacts. Catch up with old friends and contacts to mark the new year. They may have a job lead for you to follow. Never quit. Getting a great new job is all about sinking your teeth into the job hunt but never letting go until you have a new employer. "Even if you haven't had luck in the past, try to keep a positive mindset," Progressive recruiters say. "It might seem cliche, but persistence really is key."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Thrusts of Justice
by Matt Youngmark
Giveaway ends April 25, 2012.
See the giveaway details at Goodreads.
Thanks, everyone
Apr 12The amazon bomb yesterday was a smashing success (an exploding success? There must be some kind of "bomb" pun I can throw in there). Thrusts of Justice peaked at the top of Amazon's bestsellers list in the "superheroes" category, and still sits atop the list of "hot new releases" there. I just wanted to thank everyone who picked up a copy, and who helped spread the word through facebook, twitter and the like. I'm basking in the warn glow of your awesomeness.
Thrusts of Justice Amazon Bomb today!
Apr 11The second Chooseomatic Book, Thrusts of Justice, is available from Amazon now. We're asking everyone who wants a copy to buy the book on the same day.
Why does it matter if everyone buys on the same day?
Three words: Amazon sales rank. Amazon has the most relentless automated marketing machine on the planet, and the higher my sales rank spikes, the more likely Thrusts of Justice will show up in custom recommendations. Which generates more sales, which generates more visibility... it's the self-perpetuating circle of capitalism, and we're trying to make it work for the little guy.
How can I help?
Buy the book from Amazon, either in trade paperback or for Kindle, today! And spread the word about the Amazon Bomb through your social networks, blog, etc. Help an independent author become a bestseller!

Norwescon wrapup
Apr 10I've finally recovered enough from the 4-day geekstravaganza that was Norwescon 35 to post about it. Any of you who saw me there can vouch for how much fun I had, since I pretty much walked around the whole time with a big, stupid grin on my face. Norwescon is nominally a science fiction convention, but one of the things I love about it is how wide-open it is in terms of programming and community.
This post is ONE HUNDRED MILES LONG, so to see it you're gonna have to click "read more."
Off to Norwescon!
Apr 05So, you remember how I said a couple of days ago that Thusts of Justice would make its world debut at Norwescon this weekend? And then made kind of a big deal about it? Turns out my statements were not intended to be fact-based.
Here it is, Thursday, and as far as I can tell the books have still not shipped. I'm doing my best to have them ship directly to the hotel so I can start selling them on Saturday, but from the level of communication I've received from the printer so far, I'm not holding my breath.
Maybe this means that everyone who hoped to get a copy will show up for my reading? But not with torches? Come find out!
