ivykis is a library for asynchronous I/O readiness notification. It is a thin, portable wrapper around OS-provided mechanisms such as /dev/poll, epoll_create(2), kqueue(2), poll(2), and port_create(3C). ivykis was mainly designed for building high-performance network servers, but can be used as building block for any kind of event-driven application that uses poll(2)able file descriptors as its inputs.
XWiki is a WikiWiki clone written in Java that supports many popular features of other Wikis like the Wiki syntax, version control, attachments, security, and searching, but also many advanced features like templates, database and dynamic development using scripting languages (Velocity, Groovy, Ruby, Python, PHP, and more), an extension system and skinability, J2EE scalability, an XML/RPC remote API, statistics, RSS feeds, PDF exporting, WYSIWYG editing, an Office viewer and importer, and a lot more.
jZebra is a Java applet which allows you to print barcodes, receipts, and more from a Web page to your industry printer. It sends raw print commands and basic HTML and PDFs to your raw, PostScript, or LaserJet printer. It has been tested with Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Opera. It supports parallel, serial, USB, and network printers.
libLunchbox facilitates the development and deployment of multi-threaded applications. It provides OS Abstraction, using utility classes abstracting common operating system features (such as threads, locks, memory maps, shared library loading, and condition variables), high-performance primitives (including thread-safe utilities tuned for performance, such as atomic variables, spin locks, and lock-free containers), and utility classes (including helper primitives which are not in the standard library, such as logging, pools, and random number generation).
ext-Dns is a core library, an extensible forward DNS server, and some additional tools designed to create DNS server solutions which are able to do any additional operation at the resolution level (running commands, rewritting replies, gathering stats, and so on), without any limit. It provides a ready-to-use solution in case you want to build a DNS server which takes additional actions at the resolution level in an easy way. That is, its design is focused on allowing people to implement whatever they like when a request is received, freeing them from most of the details which involves handling DNS protocol.
FFSampledSP is a free implementation of the javax.sound.sampled.spi interfaces. It is part of the SampledSP collection of javax.sound.sampled libraries. Its main purpose is to decode audio from various formats at high speed using FFmpeg. To do so, it uses the tagtraum FFmpeg package, which offers FFmpeg binaries configured to decode audio while avoiding CODECs with patent problems. In other words, it supports formats like Ogg and FLAC well, while leaving MPEG-4 and MP3 unsupported.
libdwarf reads and/or writes DWARF debugging information in Elf object files. dwarfdump uses libdwarf to read object files and print the DWARF content in a readable fashion. libdwarf implements the DWARF2 (and later) standard by providing function interfaces that abstract away many DWARF implementation details (the writer code only emits DWARF2 so far). The source also includes implementations of a few tree search (tsearch) algorithms (balanced, red-black, and binary).

Melnitz Movies, in co-sponsorship with the Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies, presents a free screening of THE SUN.
Tuesday, November 24, 20097:30 PM - 9:30 PMJames Bridges TheaterMelnitz 1409Los Angeles, CA 90095
In the last days of August 1945, as the Japanese prepare to surrender to occupying American forces, Emperor Hirohito rummages around his palace, trying to make sense of the impending defeat and his own responsibility for it. In an unforgettably poignant performance by Issey Ogata, Hirohito is fully brought to life as an educated, ineffectual gentleman, aware of his fallibility but trapped by rituals of adoration behind the mask of divinity. Aleksandr Sokurov, brings his customary imagistic brilliance to this tour-de-force of historical reconstruction. As controversial for its interpretative conjectures as it is visually arresting, The Sun is a complex, important work by a major filmmaker. - New York Film Festival
DIRECTOR: Aleksandr Sokurov
WRITERS: Yuri Arabov, Jeremy Noble
CAST: Issei Ogata, Robert Dawson, Kaori Momoi

By LISA RATHKE/The Associated Press
POULTNEY, Vt. — Bill and Lou have plied the fields of Green Mountain College's farm in Vermont for most of their lives -- about 10 years.
Michael Sharry visits with Bill, front, and Lou on Thursday at Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vt. The college has decided to slaughter the two retired oxen and serve the meat in the dining halls as a matter of sustainable agriculture.
The Associated Press
Meiko Lunetta, a vegetarian, talks to a reporter in the dining hall at Green Mountain College. She supports the college's decision.
The Associated Press
Students have learned to drive the oxen team for haying and tilling, creating bonds with the giant animals. They're a campus fixture. But a leg injury to Lou this summer turned the now 11-year-old animals into retirees -- and a cause celebre among animal rights activists.
Bill won't work with another animal, school officials said. So the 825-student private liberal arts school, which promotes sustainable agriculture and strives to serve locally raised foods, has decided to slaughter the animals and serve the meat in the dining hall, just as it has done with other livestock.
In a tradition of giving students real-life experiences, the school opened the discussion up to students and staff at a school meeting in October that about 80 students, faculty and staff members attended. The decision to slaughter the animals was nearly unanimous, even among a student body that the school says is 30 percent vegetarian or vegan.
But now, the school is under attack by those who want the oxen spared and have found a sanctuary for them. Opponents have signed online petitions and sent thousands of emails to staff members. The school received more than 3 million emails from Oct. 13 to 18 from one Internet domain, and got 200 emails from Spain, officials said.
Some emails threatened to shut the college down and hurt donations, the school said; the head of the farm and food project said he has gotten death threats and someone urinated on his car. School officials were not specific about the origin of the threatening emails.
Even area slaughterhouses have been threatened, the school said, to prevent the school from finding a place to butcher them.
"These people are at war, and they don't take prisoners," said Bill Throop, provost of the school.
The college and the oxen have become a pawn for the groups' causes, Throop said.
"I don't believe that the two animals are the issue," he said. "The issue is whether small-scale sustainable animal agriculture is an important part of the future in Vermont. We think it is. They think it isn't."
Green Mountain Animal Defenders circulated a petition to save the animals. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has suggested that if the animals are slaughtered, the students and the public should watch "so that they can see the terror in Bill's and Lou's eyes right before a bolt is shot into their foreheads and they are strung upside down and bled to death," PETA said.
The uproar began after VINE Sanctuary, which stands for veganism is the next evolution, was contacted by students and alumni who opposed the decision. It then posted an action alert on its blog asking readers to "please contact the folks at Green Mountain College and urge them to reconsider." It provided a form letter, free of threats, that readers could send to Throop.
"This took off far beyond what we anticipated, not that we're unhappy," said Miriam Jones, VINE's coordinator.
VINE, based in Springfield, has offered a space for the animals, which typically live 10 to 12 years but can survive up to 20 years. The group itself has been threatened, Jones said, and has never endorsed violent language.
Many Vermonters raise their own animals for meat or join a CSA -- community-supported agriculture -- in which they pay ahead of season for locally raised meat, said state Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross.
"Green Mountain College has reached their decision after careful contemplation and input from the campus community," Ross said. "They have raised these animals humanely, and have made a responsible choice. We encourage others to respect their decision, even if their own personal philosophy includes abstaining from eating meat."
Meiko Lunetta, a 21-year-old vegetarian from Francistown, N.H., majoring in sustainable agriculture and environmental education, said she supports the college's decision. The ton of beef that Bill and Lou would provide can serve the dining hall for about a month.
"It's funny that it's blown up in such a way, because on any other farm anywhere, this isn't even a conversation that you would begin to have," she said.
The oxen have already been replaced by a new team.

Valparaiso's Kulaga Named to League's Second Team
Monday, March 10, 2008
Valparaiso University's Agnieszka Kulaga (Tarnow, Poland/I Liceum Ogolnoksztalcace H.S.) has been named to the Horizon League's Second Team as the conference announced its postseason honors on Monday afternoon.
Kulaga, a 5'6" junior guard, leads the Crusaders in scoring, averaging 14.7 points per game. She is also the team's leading rebounder, grabbing 5.2 boards per night. Kulaga has added 3.4 steals and a team-leading 2.0 steals per contest while starting all 29 games for the Brown and Gold.
Three times season, Kulaga was named the Horizon League's Player of the Week, including after posting a triple-double against league champion Green Bay. Kulaga's 427 points this season rank eighth on Valpo's single season scoring list, and her 84.6% free throw shooting currently ranks second best in school history for a single season.
Kulaga and Valpo (14-15, 9-9 Horizon) will begin play on Wednesday at the Horizon League Championships. The Crusaders will face the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee at 7 p.m. in Milwaukee, Wis.

Comments about Sexy Lady Bug Adult Womens Costume:
I needed a reasonably priced costume and had been looking at this and one other and decided to get this. I tried it on at the store and I am a small, but I didn't like how short it was so I got a medium and the length was better but will definitely be getting rumba shorts to go under. My 2 year old niece is going to be a lady bug so this will go great with hers. The wings feel a little weird, but look cute. The socks go up really high on me because I'm 5"2' so I have to pull them down a little and they feel a little tight towards the top but look great.
Comments about Sexy Lady Bug Adult Womens Costume:
The package I received only contained the dress of the costume when the bag clearly states that it is supposed to be a 4 piece costume, including stockings, wings and a headband with antennas.
Comments about Sexy Lady Bug Adult Womens Costume:
Its a beautiful costume, and is very comfortable
Comments about Sexy Lady Bug Adult Womens Costume:
I have been eyeing this cute ladybug costume for a Halloween party and the price is great! I love the above the knee socks in the picture, but they are really more like red hose with dots on them. Not as cute.
The skirt is really, really short and needs shorts under it, which is fine, just don't expect to wear it alone as pictured.
The ladybug wings are a bit cheesy looking and have black dots on them with gold glitter surrounding the dots.
[1 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
GREAT!!!! i am very petite, i am a girl so i was worried if this costume would be too mature, but low and behold!!! it worked great i am 4'10, and the skirt was a great length(mid thigh) the tights were a bit long and slid down though, but it was great. The top slipped down a bit do i stitched in my ballet leotard

BAGJUMP™ started in the winter of 2006, when professional snowboarders, Hollywood stuntmen and engineers got together and recognized the need for true freestyle training safety. They came up with a revolutionary idea, looking for a solution to landing softly and safely while practicing big technical jumps. A combination of their needs, know-how and several meetings resulted in the development of the safest funsport-airbags in the world today.
Bagjump Action Sports GmbH is the official supplier of:
Windells Summercamps, RedBull USA, the Canadian National Team, High Cascade Snowboard Camp, the Russian National Team, Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, Bikepark Leogang, Monster Skatepark Sydney, Waterville Academy, the Finnish National Team, Swissski the Swiss National Team, Monster Energy, Camp of Champions, the Norwegian National Team, Ecoparque Aventura Uruguay, National Team France, National Team Japan, Vienna Prater, Niseko Japan and much more Skiresorts/Bikeparks/Climbingfacilities/Adventure Parks all over the World!
BAGJUMP™ products have rapidly gained popularity amongst advertisers and promoters, acting as giant billboards visible from a great distance, serving as a high profile medium to deliver a premium brand message. Many of the worlds top athletes such as Torah Bright (Olympic Gold Medalist), Peetu Piroinen (Olympic Silver Medalist), Eero Ettala (X Games Gold Medalist), Risto Mattila (FIS Champion), and Mathieu Crepel (TTR World Champion) have worked with this exclusive piece of equipment and learned some of their latest technical tricks with BAGJUMP™.
Due to the impact absorbing ability, the athletes gained confidence while training with BAGJUMP™, resulting in an accelerated progression as seen at the pre-Olympic snowboarding progress sessions in Mount Hood Meadows (USA), Ruka (Finland), Saas Fee (Switzerland), and Cardrona (New Zealand), which led to Gold, Silver and Bronze at the Olympic Games in Vancouver 2011.
BAGJUMP™ is a very versatile product: it can be used all year round by anyone, from beginners to professionals, for Olympic level training or just for recreation. The great feeling of "landing on a cloud" can be experienced with skis, snowboards, bikes, skateboards or by free-dropping (jumping into the BAGJUMP™ from a certain elevation). For ski resorts, this not only means a great safety feature in the snow park but also a new summer attraction by offering a combination of different set-ups: a dry-slope jump for skiers and snowboarders, a dirt jump for mountain bikers, a freedrop® platform and/or a climbing wall for free climbing.
Bagjump Action Sports GmbH is constantly innovating and developing new impact absorbing products, drawing on sports industry feedback to create such new products like "The Vert" for transition training and "The Safety Systems" for horizontal and vertical impact protection. These new products complement the already existing product line of "Standard BAGJUMP™ Airbags".
Enjoy this website and get to know the great variety of impact absorbing products!

GLENS FALLS -- A half-dozen veterans told students Friday about a war fought 60 years ago that most people didn't want to know about.
More than 36,000 Americans died during the Korean War, and those who survived want to make sure the supreme sacrifice made by their fallen comrades isn't forgotten.
Members of Korean War Veterans Adirondack Chapter 60 discussed their experiences with 50 Glens Falls High School history students Friday as part of the organization's Tell America Program.
"It was our generation's turn to defend the world," said Gene Slavin of Queensbury, a U.S. Navy veteran. "Most of us didn't even know where Korea was."
He served aboard the USS John R. Pierce, a destroyer that was badly damaged by a Korean shore battery bombardment.
Each veteran shared a different harrowing story.
Bob Garland of Malta was an Army paratrooper in the 187th Airborne, with 37 jumps to his credit.
George Covel of Shushan, Washington County, slept with a carbine next to his bed and played a tuba in the band at 8th Army headquarters in Seoul. One time, while traveling by rail, the train in front of his came under attack and he got involved in a fire fight.
One of Covel's most vivid memories was the release of Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, the highest ranking U.S. officer captured during the war. He received the Medal of Honor for his actions at the Battle of Taejon in 1950. Dean was held captive for the rest of the war.
"I remember seeing this skinny guy," Covel said. "He walked through the ranks and shook hands with every one of us."
Chapter commander Bill Shaw of Malta was an Army engineer attached to the Air Force at Kimpo Air Base near Seoul.
"Our job was to keep the airfields operational," he said. "If they got bombed, we got out there and filled in the bomb holes."
In 2002, on his 50th wedding anniversary, Shaw and his wife, Marjorie, returned to Korea on an all-expenses-paid trip given by their children. "It didn't look at all the same," he said.
Just being there, however, gave him a great deal of satisfaction.
"If we hadn't won it (the war), there wouldn't be any South Korea," he said.
Veterans brought along a variety of items, including old photos, maps and newspaper clippings, to highlight their presentation. Students are currently learning about the Cold War.
Covel said he, too, has revisited South Korea with fellow U.S. veterans. Everywhere they went, their bus displayed a sign that said they fought in the war.
At one place, members of the Republic of Korea's Navy stopped and saluted as the bus passed by.
"They haven't forgotten," Covel said.

Neighborhoods: North Side, Lakeview
The love of Little Village found in the heart of Lakeview. This is a great Mexican restaurant to come eat, hang out and drink up. The food is wonderful, but really come here for the atmosphere. Expect to have a good time.
Really enjoyed the guacamole! Very attentive servers and a large, great space with a lively atmosphere.
Credit Card Fraud! Beware. I dined in in this restaurant and had a reasonable dining experience. However, I noticed later that my credit card hd been billed for a second, unauthorized charge in a large even dollar amount. I have contacted the restaurant both on the phone and in person, and am always told I have to speak to a manager. However, there is never a manager on duty (even at prime dining time on a Saturday evening!) and I have never received a phone call back, despite leaving my contact information repeatedly.
Since this happened, I've looked at the reviews on Yelp!, and wish now I had done this before I went to dine there. Apparently others have had the exact same experience. Clearly there are dishonest people working at this restaurant, and I would think twice about ever stepping foot inside.
I am disputing the fraudulent charge with my credit card company, and hope to get resolution that way, because it is clearly not going to come from the management of Mi Tierra.
Over Charge You...... – The jerks tipped themselves on my credit card once I left. I like to tip 20% in cash and they decided to forge my tip amount after I signed the bill. I will never go back!
This place is good business! – I go about once a month. It's a fun atmosphere, has fairly priced margaritas, and great food. Muy Bueno!
Great service and Burrito. – love everything about this place, thought I was in mexico the whole time, reasonable prices as well, floutas worth ordering too.
Vibrant, festive atmosphere draws a casual Lakeview crowd to this budget Mexican spot. – The Scene
With its magenta walls, orange stucco ceilings, and colorful mosaic tile tables, this place is a bright, festive oasis. An ivy-covered fountain gurgles, and the two long dining rooms are filled with knickknacks and tiled with cool terra-cotta floors. Service can be on the slow side, especially when it's packed, so if you're hoping to catch a show at the nearby Theatre Building, give yourself plenty of time.
The Food
The standard Mexican fare is plentiful and cheap. Filling combos of quesadillas, enchiladas and tacos with beans and fluffy Spanish rice are all less than $10. Dozens of entree choices include chicken, steak and seafood plates--try the shrimp served with spicy sauce on white rice, or go for a two-fisted ground beef burrito. Dessert offerings include deep-fried ice cream and a fine flan.
Colorful and energetic place on Belmont – I love this restaurant. It gets packed on weekend nights, and because it's near Wrigley, it's always filled after games, but the service is friendly and as swift as possible. (Sometimes there will be a delay depending on the crowd.) The food is really quite good, too, especially if you adventure past the typical burritos. The garlicky shrimp is some of the best I've had, and the carne asada is tender and full of flavor.
Excellent! – Mi Tierra has an excellent menu with a variety of dishes to choose from. I have not found a bad one yet. Although, the only dish they offer with pork is their tamales. I love the chicken enchiladas. They also have many margarita flavors to choose from, one of the longest lists I have ever seen.
The friendly atmosphere has a lot to offer with its helpful service and colorful, authentic decor. I would definitely recommend Mi Tierra for the family, a date, or even just mexican food. You won't find a better mexican dining experience for this price in Chicago. Don't forget to get the fried ice cream for dessert! It is delicious and enough for two.
Home Cooking – Mi Tierra is a classic the time its been their speaks for itself the food is authentic and taste just like Grandma use to make I recommend the Queso Panela with home made flour tortillas for an appetizer, and this place is not over priced like so many Mexican places you find in Chicago today, So if your looking for a place to take the family or just looking for good food at great price this is the spot.
not bad at all – This spot is good for a few drinks and munching on chips. I had the tacos and wasn't disappointed, although they were nothing out of the ordinary.

Independent filmmaker Eliyahu Ungar-Sargon discusses the experiences that informed his film, Cut: Slicing Through the Myths of Circumcision.
Jonathon Conte discusses his awakening understanding about genital integrity and autonomy, developing skills for talking with people about the issue, and how it affects everyone.
We have a perfectly designed genital structure, the foreskin, and cutting it off is to me a major violation of boys' human rights... I found out that 3/4 of the nerve endings were missing, and this was only recently discovered. Only one study has been done comparing about 160 men in two groups, circumcised and intact, and found that the most sensitive part of the penis is the foreskin... by miles.

Several children of my Mommy friends have had their own personal kids savings account at a bank since very early on. While my husband and I have our own account, I never took my son to open one for himself. I had the best of intentions through the years but here I am revisiting the subject so you can gather that I never got around to it lol. My son has quite a bit of money saved now from recent occasions and I'm going to take him to open his very own account before school starts. I think this will help him learn how bank accounts and interest work. Hopefully it will also motivate him to save more in the future. Right now I am trying to talk him out of buying a $40 toy that I know he will be tired of in a few months!
Do any of your children have an account? Did the bank offer any type of incentive to children opening a new account? I've heard of a bank where I live giving them a new "piggy bank" when they sign up.
Yes! My children have a bank/savings account since the day they were born.
Their grandma deposites a fixed amount each month.
I read you want to teach your children about banks and interest. I recently wrote a blogpost on my personal blog about 7 Things Your Children Should Know About Money, you can read it here.
Yes, all three of ours have saving accounts. Our youngest is three, she has no clue. Our son is 7 and would rather spend every penny he gets on legos. Our daughter that is 9 is very aware of how money works, saving and spending.
Any gift of money they receive goes into their savings. We have a 60 40 plan, they get to keep 60 percent of what ever they have and 40 percent goes into their account. I know the younger kids don't understand the concept but it has been wonderful for our oldest.
When they are ready to go off to college they get the savings and the hope is that they have learned by then how to manage their money. The deal if they don't go to college, they don't get all of the money, only 40 percent of it. The reason behind this is because we have an automatic deposit every pay period that goes into their savings. The money is intended for college years so if they don't go, they don't get the money.
I wish that someone had taught me how to manage money. I would rather have been taught then had to have learned the hard way.

Great buildings often have great back-stories, and we here at Architecture Minnesota love to tell those tales. But we rarely focus on the personal encounters that people have with these buildings, or great yarns that owe everything to their architectural setting. I began to realize this as we slowly assembled "Architects' Dozen" (page 45), a lengthy feature in which high-profile architects and architecture writers offer reflections on their favorite Minnesota buildings. Bill Pedersen, FAIA, of Kohn Pedersen Fox, for example, recalls the quiet hours he spent as a young man in a humble Ralph Rapson–designed church in St. Paul. Rapson himself, who passed away in March (page 28), chose to write about a beloved water tower near his home. The contributors surprised us with some of their choices, but they sure had good stories to tell.
My own favorite architectural zone in Minnesota is far less surprising: Minneapolis' Mill District. I love the distant view of the riverfront structures from St. Anthony Main, the middle view from the Stone Arch Bridge, and the feeling of standing inside the Mill City Museum's Ruin Courtyard or at the base of the iconic grain elevator next door. The historic tableau is made all the more rich by the recent additions of the Humboldt Mill Condominiums and the Guthrie Theater, modern buildings whose massing and materials are perfectly tuned to their context.
I also have a lot of good memories of time spent in that environment, most involving bike rides with friends on summer nights or great shows at the Guthrie. One particular Guthrie performance—a spontaneous offbeat comedy, you might call it—from a few years ago stands out both for the amount of laughter it sparked and for the deeper appreciation of theater it instilled. The story goes like this: An old friend and I were walking out of the Metrodome after a Twins game, and it came out that she had yet to step inside the big blue building. On the impromptu tour that followed, we waded through the well-dressed theatergoers milling about the fourth-level lobby during an intermission and made our way out to the end of the "endless bridge." Then I wanted to see if my compatriot had the guts to jump on the vertigo-inducing glass floor of the cantilevered ninth-floor observation deck.
She didn't, it turned out, but she did have the gumption to wander into the empty-but-lit black-box theater on that floor and re-create her last stage performance. Kindergarten Circus, I learned, was a high-flying affair that involved her and her classmates making their way across a tightrope (actually, a very low balance beam). The few items necessary for the rudimentary circus were available just offstage, as was an imagination-fueling assortment of stage furnishings, props, and costume pieces. There, in the wings, we channeled our inner thespians for a laughter-filled half-hour. If more friends had been there with us, we could have put on quite a production.
Well, not really. That would have landed our cast and crew in the back of squad cars, and for good reason. But I do wish more friends had been there to experience the creative spirit of the Guthrie in that wholly unanticipated way, to glimpse the small but wondrous world behind the curtains. At least my fellow actor and I can tell them the tale.
Stories add meaning to architecture, and, conversely, architecture adds meaning to stories. In the coming issues, we'll aim to widen the scope of our storytelling. In the meantime, enjoy the first fruits.

The 111th Congress is addressing the needs of America's service men and women as well as those of their families. While we salute our men and women in uniform for the courage and bravery that they exhibit in battle, we must also recognize the sacrifices of their families.
In recent years, the Congress has worked in a bipartisan manner to more closely analyze the needs of the family while military personnel are deployed; equally important, we need to make certain that families have the tools they need for transition when loved ones return home. To date we have made progress in the key areas of jobs and the economy, health care, family support, housing and education. More needs to be done as more troops are expected to be returning home in the coming years.
- MILITARY PAY RAISE: Provided all service members a pay raise of 3.5 percent in 2008 and 3.9 percent in 2009 and 3.4 percent in 2010. (2007-2009)
- NEW JOB OPPORTUNITIES: Provided businesses a $2,400 tax credit for hiring unemployed veterans in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. (2009)
- DISABLED VETERANS ECONOMIC RELIEF: Provided disabled veterans a payment of $250 to help make ends meet during this economic downturn in the Recovery Act (ARRA). (2009)

(2008)
- VETS CORPS: Established a first of its kind Veterans Corps to provide services to veterans and military families (ranging from building veterans houses, assisting with veterans' rehabilitation and assisting military families during deployments), as well as create volunteer opportunities for veterans to take advantage of their skills and experience and put them back to work. (2009)
- ENHANCED SPOUSAL JOB OPPORTUNITIES: Authorized tuition assistance and training opportunities for military spouses seeking careers that can be maintained as they move from station to station. (2008) Established an internship pilot program for military spouses to obtain federal employment to provide them with opportunities in careers that are portable. (2009)
- ENERGY JOBS FOR VETERANS ACT: House passed H.R. 4592, to increase job opportunities for veterans by reimbursing employers for veterans' on-the-job training in the energy sector. (2010)
- NATIONAL GUARD EMPLOYMENT PROTECTION ACT: House passed H.R. 1879, to extend key reemployment rights to all of those called up for full-time National Guard duty, including those assigned to a homeland security mission. (2009)
- VETERANS SMALL BUSINESS ASSISTANCE & SERVICEMEMBERS PROTECTION: House passed H.R. 3949, to require VA to ensure veterans-based small business preferences in federal contracts are targeted toward veterans, and relieves deploying and transferred service members from penalties for early termination of contracts for family cell phones, rental leases and car leases. (2009)
- NEW GI BILL FOR COLLEGE: Restored the promise of a full, four-year college education for about 2 million Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, making them part of the economic recovery. Veterans can sign up now. More than 475,000 veterans have signed up for these benefits with over 240,000 veterans are attending college this spring. (2008)
- TRANSFERABILITY OF NEW GI BILL EDUCATION BENEFITS TO FAMILY MEMBERS for troops with 10 years of service, or six years of service with a commitment of four more. (2008)

- STRENGTHEN EDUCATION BENEFITS FOR RESERVISTS: Allowed Reservists on active duty to use enhanced education benefits for 10 years after leaving the reserves. Reservists with three years of active duty service qualify for education benefits at 80 percent of the active duty rate. (2007)
- REDUCED RED TAPE AT DOD: Created the Wounded Warrior Resource Center to serve as a single point of contact for service members, their families, and primary caregivers to report issues with facilities, obtain health care, and receive benefits information. (2007)
- ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS FOR SMOOTH TRANSITION FROM DOD TO VA: Congress called for and President Obama announced the creation of a Joint Virtual Lifetime Electronic record to provide troops with a single, accurate, and paperless medical record from enlistment through retirement -- key to cutting costs, eliminating errors, and providing seamless care.

(2007-2009)

(2007) Required DOD procedures to ensure an adequate family care plan is in place for a single military member with dependents and dual military couples with dependents. (2008)
- MILITARY SPOUSES RESIDENCY: Gave military spouses the ability, like service members, to keep or change residency when they move from station to station -- eliminating the need to file tax returns for multiple states or change vehicle and voter registrations at each move. (2009)
- MILITARY FAMILIES TAX DECREASE: Established a special survivor indemnity allowance in a first step toward ending the Military Families Tax, which unfairly penalizes about 55,000 survivors of those who died from service-connected injuries. These widows lose most of their survivor benefits if they also receive Dependency and Indemnity Compensation benefits (because their spouse died of a service-connected injury). Congress increased the allowance to $150 per month in 2014 and doubling it to $310 by 2017. (2007, 2009)
- STOP LOSS PAYMENTS: Provided 185,000 troops who have had their enlistments involuntarily extended since 9/11/01 with $500 per month for their service under stop-loss orders. (2009)
- QUALITY FAMILY MILITARY HOUSING: Worked to eliminate inadequate military family housing, using both government construction and public-private partnerships, resulting in a $24 billion investment in family housing more comparable in standards with private homes.
- HELP FOR MILITARY HOMEOWNERS HARMED BY THE HOUSING CRISIS: Expanded DOD's Homeowners Assistance Program and provided $555 million in FY 2009 and $323 in FY 2010 to help military families forced to sell their homes at a loss because of orders to relocate, or wounds incurred on deployment. (2009)
- HOMEOWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR RETURNING VETERANS: Prohibited home foreclosures for nine months after military service; increased the VA home loan limit; enabled more veterans to refinance their existing high-risk loans through VA home loans; and made thousands of veterans eligible for low-interest loans.

- END VETERAN HOMELESSNESS ACT: House passed H.R. 4810, to strengthen successful comprehensive programs for homeless veterans through investments, with special attention to the needs of homeless women veterans and homeless veterans with children. (2010)

A friend who used them, had to have them out 2 times to try to fix their work. It still looks awful, and was very costly.
Honestly, I would go see one personally before you make the commitment. Get a quote for a Sterling product, then get a quote for a retro fit system. Personally, for the ones I had seen - I couldn't tell immediately they were retrofitted systems, but then after further inspection it was obvious. The price is what turned me off. For the same price, you can have a new tub put in, have the plumbing done correctly - but it will take a bit longer to have it done. I think those retrofit places do it in ONE day. I personally took a week to do my bath, put the drywall up and finish it, if you break down the timeline with just those in mind for the project.
BUT be careful, once you replace a tub - they often aren't the same size and you might have to redo your floor!
Personally, if it's an old home I would rather they rip the old sucker out, put down a cheap floor and replace the old gunky plumbing around the tub with a new faucet valve and faucet etc - than to have a cover up slapped over what could be a ticking time bomb.
For the 3 bathrooms I've done in the past 6 months, 3 of them were leaking at the valve or the drain. Floor damage was present as was black mold and rotting supports. I replaced all that, put in access panels for 6month - 1 year inspections of the work, and am very happy I chose to do it 'the hard way' rather than slap something over an old problem.
I think retrofit baths are a GREAT way to flip a house...put down some cheap linoleum floor, new $150 toilet (cadet 3 of course) and a off the shelf vanity from lowes or home depot that looks designer , coupled with fresh paint, new fan/lights - and you have a $9k looking job for about half that price.
A friend who used them, had to have them out 2 times to try to fix their work. It still looks awful, and was very costly.
I had both a shower and tub liner installed 6 months ago. The drain is clogged up, feels a little like a water bed, "no slip" tub floor is slippery, and there is a bubble between the shower liner and the wall.
Also, I can't return my hamper to wall on other side of tub because tub liner now extends too far. To make the matter even worse, the tub now touches the vanity, which means the shower curtain must sit on top of the end of the tub rather than hang loose as it always did. There is a half inch difference between the top of the shower liner and the bottom of it, and the rod is up crooked. I'd like to have them simply remove the whole mess, but don't know how much of a problem it would be -how difficult it is to remove this material, what it would involve. Can't get any satisfaction from the company or the owner, although the man who did the installation was gone within a couple of weeks after he did the job. Can anyone offer info on how difficult it would be for them to remove both liners?
Last edited by tbrazil; 03-16-2008 at 06:05 PM. Reason: Wanted to be clearer, say more.
That must have been a "one size fits all" liner, because even the poor installations I have seen usually use a liner that fits over the old tub quite
"snuggly" so it doesn't change the size of the tub to any appreciable extent.
I have repaired a waste & overflow that was leaking after their work.
In my house I would go with a new tub!
I'm bookmarking this thread for future use.
I'm going to do a search through all of my plumbing invoices where a job was performed by the above and indirectly caused problems with the existing plumbing system (clogs, incorrect drain retrofits, faucet trim extensions that did not correctly work)
My latest was a clogged shower drain where they refused to pay for the drain cleaning after they did the work. The installer was careless and loaded the drain with debri from his work, ignoring the standard practice to cover the drain.
Am I upset? Never. $140 for 15 minutes to clear the drain. Still, didn't put a dent in their profit margin for the job. The guy at most was making $13-$19 an hour tops, was there 12 hours........so his labor was minimal. The installer is usually a small part of the equation when costs are calculated in bidding these jobs.
BathFitters did pay for the expense when the homeowner threatened legal reprimand for failure to deliver customer satisfaction.

Read what the end of this sentence means.
Horrible work was done by Bath Fitters on my parents home.
My mom contracted Bath Fitter to install a tub and wall liner in their main bathroom for $3500. This is a high price for this amount of work.
A Bath Fitter employee measured the area with a laser. The employee measuring assured my dad that the liner would "fit like a glove".
When it came time to install, a number of weeks later, the installer (who told my dad that he had been working for the company for 4 weeks) took the existing lino off the wall and some of the plywood that was behind, replaced the faucet/shower controls and put drywall up, without the existing shims that had been installed behind the original plywood. This caused the drywall to be recessed in relation to the surrounding wall.
In order to bring it back flush with the surrounding wall, he used 5/8" thick strips of soft putty spaced about 8" apart on top of the drywall, which was supposed to support the flexible plastic liner. There is no way soft putty will properly support the thin, flexible wall liner.
Then, he said there was a problem with the tub, and needed to call his supervisor. The supervisor came on site and told my dad that the tub needed to come out 1/2" in order for them to install the liner. Maybe they would have caught that when they measured?!?
According to the supervisor, this would require removal and replacement of the tub with a new one, for an extra 700-1000 dollars.
He also said that the existing wall was too flexible. He said it was 1/4" plywood. My Dad said it was actually 3/8" plywood. After hearing that, the supervisor didn't say anything.
He then said they would have to reschedule the work since the job scope had changed. He said he would call back at 8:30 the next morning. That was over a week ago.
He also told my dad that he had two options, either pay them the extra money to finish the job, or cancel the work and they would leave the job as is. They are trying to pressure my parents into forking out more money for nothing.

To Lat in Edmonton:
That is simply horrid tale about a Bathfitter franchise...and I STRONGLY suggest you contact Bathfitter's corporate office (I assume it is also the correct contact point for Canadian customers) about this at: Toll-free: 1-800-892-2847 or via email,
My previous experience with Bathfitter corporate has been very positive. Your parents have not been treated like valued customers and you certainly should contact Bathfitter's corporate office about this despicable situation.
Good luck!
I once worked for a company like this....installed the faucets for them for about 6 months.. told them to take
a hike....didnt need the greif.
I was impresed with the product but I was never impressed with the installers putting up the product.
I would tell them to give you back all your money and just install a fibergalss Sterling tub....if it all has to be torn out anyway...
The bath fitters are not plumbers. The only license that they have ,is a driver's license, and even then it should be revoked.
lol nice one
Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe me? -Jack Handy
What I was impressed with was the fact that these
fellows would come out to your home and in only
one day they would usually have the whole job done
from start to finish..
a couple of them acutally would stay way past dark if necessary to get the job done in one day.....
I finally had to ask the owner of the company where he found fellows willing to work this hard for so little money
cause I could not get my plumbers to even consider
working that long.......
I wondered what made them so loyal to this jerk???.
I asked him if they were on some sort of work release program from the local prison....
he was not amused......
I had an acrylic bath solution fitted by a small, independent contractor a few years ago. He did an excellent job, for a lower price.
It took him a week. He was clear what he could and could not do. I did some plumbing (replaced the toilet & vanity), hired a licensed plumber to do some other plumbing (the tub drain and shower faucet), and left him to retile the floor and fit the tub and wall liners...not in that order but you get my jist (it went plumber, tile floor, acrylic solution, me).
Shop around. There are alternatives.

I am very happy to report that Bath Fitter is standing behind their product.
My parents and I met with Dale, who did a fabulous job of making time for us and listening to our serious concerns. He acknowledged that errors were made and that they will provide my parents with a new tub and install the wall liners at the initial price my parents agreed to. Dale was very professional and understanding about the situation my senior-aged parents were in.
The products should be installed within a couple of weeks, and I will update my report based on the outcome of the actual installation, but based on my experience with Dale, I am far more optimistic about a positive outcome.
Thanks Dale!

THE SPORTING SCENE about lacrosse. Lacrosse and basketball are siblings of soccer, hockey, and water polo. The transfer of lacrosse from Iroquoian to European culture occurred in Montreal in the middle of the nineteenth century and while the sport was to emigrate and develop most emphatically in the eastern United States, Canadians would retain it strongly here and there. Wayne Gretzky, ice hockey's historically greatest star, grew up in Brantford, Ontario. As winters wore on, Gretzky has said, "I could hardly wait to get my lacrosse stick out." Discusses similarities and differences between lacrosse and water polo, basketball, and ice hockey. Briefly mentions the spread of lacrosse to Japan. As lacrosse has spread to the Far East, the Far East has entered the cerebral cortex of lacrosse. Dave Pietramala, the head coach at Johns Hopkins University, has studied Sun Tzu. Tells about the women's and men's lacrosse world cups, which date from 1982 and 1974 respectively. The writer accompanied the Princeton University lacrosse team on a trip to Spain and Ireland. In Spain, Princeton played the English national lacrosse team at the La Manga sporting club near Cartagena. After two games in Spain and a third game a few days later against England in Ireland, Princeton's coach, Bill Tierney, conducted clinics for the English players. Describes Tierney's instructions to the English players at length. In Dublin, the writer missed the bus to the lacrosse game and hired a cab. En route to the game, he explained lacrosse to the cab driver. Tells about the face-off, which begins a lacrosse game, and FOGOs, players who specialize in face-offs. Discusses the deception and baiting that goes on between shooters and goalies. Describes the different kinds of shots and passes players make. The writer then recalls his own experience playing lacrosse at Deerfield Academy and tells about Jimmy Brown (Jim Brown), the football star who also excelled at lacrosse. Details the history and construction of the lacrosse stick and the ways players string and customize the pockets on their sticks. Briefly considers the etymology of "lacrosse." A player's stick is also called a crosse. It is said that when the black robes of the seventeenth century saw the sticks of the Iroquois they thought of ecclesiastical crosiers.

Your resume serves as your introduction to an employer. It is a personal advertisement promoting yourself for a position. The resume can also help create a favorable first impression. It can show the employer your qualifications and bridge the gap between your qualifications and the needs for the position. The ultimate goal of the resume is to create such an impression that an employer will want to set up an interview. It is important to note that there is no right or wrong way to format a resume, it really depends on your personal preference and that of the employer. So don't be surprised if you get conflicting information when it comes to resume writing. In Career Services, we provide resume advice based on what the majority of employers and career experts say they are expecting on a resume.
Below are a few guides to get you started on your resume:
Resume Writing Tips - Tips on how to write a resume...great start to creating a solid document.
Resume Checklist - Use this checklist to make sure you have all the basics of a resume completed.
Naming Your Skills - Use this list of more than 200 verbs to describe your skills to an employer when creating your resume and cover letter. This list is just a starting point for the many possible verbs you can use.
10 Top Pitfalls in Resume Writing
How to Write Accomplishment Statements on Resumes
Navigating Disclosure Issues in Resume Writing - When deciding how (or if) to articulate your involvement with LGBTQ-related organizations or groups, it is important you do what is most comfortable for you. Along the continuum of disclosure, there are a number of ways to communicate your invaluable skills and knowledge you gained from your involvements.
Chronological -- This is the most common and most accepted of the three types of resumes and it starts with the most current information and moves backwards in describing your education, skills and experience.
Chronological Resume Template
Functional-- This resume groups skills together by functional area. This is a resume outline or format that presents your skills and experience without putting them in a sequential date order. Instead, you group your skills and experience by types or functions, hence the name. The career history can be either reduced to a list of dates and company names as well as job titles towards the end of the resume, or no detail can be given at all - supposedly since this has all been stated functionally. This format is not always well received by employers. Many employers believe that this resume format/outline is designed to "hide something"! This is an important point, so you should be careful of using this format.
Functional Resume Template
Combination -- A resume that begins with a functional summary of your most relevant qualifications, key skills, and abilities. Then gives a chronological career history that supports the summary. This resume outline is a great compromise if you'd like to use a functional format, but are wary of employers disliking them.
If you have a long work history, or if you've been in school for a long time, it's not uncommon to have trouble whittling that resume down to a reasonable length. Here are some quick guidelines:
If you would like your cover letter, resume or both reviewed, come to Drop-In hours: Monday-Thursday 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Career Services. Also, don't forget to upload your resume on Beaver JobNet and publish it so that approved employers can view it! Find out how to do this.

Buick fans, rejoice! There's a new turbocharged stick-shift model available that's sporty, smaller and really fun to drive. The 2012 Buick Regal GS is a midsize four-door sedan that's built in Germany and based on the award-winning Opel Insignia platform.
You would have to go back to 1987 to find the last turbocharged Buick Regal. But the new 2012 version is even more exciting with its double-overhead-cam, four-valve 255-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with direct fuel injection and variable valve timing, and six-speed manual gearbox, the first Buick for sale with a manual transmission since the popular 1991 Skylark. A six-speed automatic with manual paddle shifters will be available later in the year.
The new Buick Regal GS has a sport-tuned chassis and rides slightly lower to the ground for better handling. It clocks 0-60 mph in under seven seconds, and that's not too shabby. Italian Brembo front disc brakes give the Regal good stopping power and a three-position adjustable steering and ride system, called Interactive Driver Control, features Standard, Sport and GS modes for high-performance driving, complemented by continuously adjustable shock absorbers, a high-performance front strut suspension and a four-link rear suspension. StabiliTrak chassis control, traction control and ABS are standard. Regal GS models come with 19-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels and all-season tires, with optional 20-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels and high-performance tires also available.
The Regal GS exterior has a unique front and rear fascia, unique front air intakes and grille elements finished in satin metallic. The rear end has a decklid spoiler and integrated, trapezoidal exhaust outlets to distinguish it from the CXL.
On the inside, the Regal GS is comfortably appointed with a leather-wrapped steering wheel with a flat bottom, perforated metal floor pedals, leather sport bucket seats with 12-way adjustment and power lumbar adjustment. All GS interiors are black in the first year of production, with satin metallic trim on the console, steering wheel and instrument panel. When the IDCS system is placed in the GS mode, the instrument panel will glow with white light instead of the normal blue light.
The GS also has such features as passive keyless entry, XM satellite radio, a Harman/Kardon 320-watt, nine-speaker sound system, Bluetooth, bi-xenon headlights, front and rear ultrasonic park assist, and a 120-volt power point for on-the-go computing and charging.
Pricing on the Buick Regal ranges from $29,000 to $32,000.

I drove one of these bad boys (with the slaesman present) so I didn't get to really wind it up but it was still enough to convince me to buy one. I ordered one from the factory which will arrive next week. I can't wait to get it broke in and check it out. I was impressed that they maintained a Buick ride. I own a LaCrosse now and the regal GS can match the ride. When I put it into GS mode it stiffened up noticeably but still the ride was smooth. The shifter was smooth and predictable but I wasn't trying to jam gears with the salesman along. When I get mine I will be a little more aggressive with it. The seats are VERY comfortable. I didn't get to listen to the stereo as I wanted to hear the road noise, which was minimal. Good trunk room and very nice finish inside and out. One thing I don't like is the odd shaped center console access door. Built around the cup holders like it was an afterthought.
I keep reading comparisons to Audi A4, Accura TSX, Lexus 250, Volvo T60, Volkswagon CC and how for the cost this isn't enough car. If you actually compare feature to feature and realize that this car has more horsepower, more torque, Brembo brakes, and had very few optional add ons, 35,000 is about tops if you know how to deal on a car.That leaves you with nothing else to order and you have everything the previously mentioned cars are still lacking for that price. Then compare their performance. For me there is no comparison. I definitely don't have a problem with it having a Buick badge attached.
It's a nice car, handles well, but needs a little more omph in my opinion. The biggest negative to me is the brand name Buick. Could you imagine a young guy picking up a date in a Buick. The woman would ask if he was borrowing daddy's car. After the GNX, Buick became the old mans car and has suffered since. It's going to be awhile for people to change their perceptions, just like Hyundai.

By now, I'm sure you've all had a chance to digest what happened in the Season Five finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It was very emotional and like I teased all season long, I'm sure you now have more questions than answers about what happened and what's going to happen next.
Imagine being in my position, having to keep this a secret for so long! The suspense has been killing me! We recorded these last four episodes a year ago and I was definitely shocked when Dave Filoni told me that Ahsoka was going to walk away from the Jedi Order. It took me awhile to digest this news and I clearly remember, like it was yesterday, when it finally hit me that Ahsoka's life and my life was changing forever. Dave Filoni sent me an email about recording the final scene with Matt Lanter. The word "final" hit me like a ton of bricks. We've been recording The Clone Wars for seven years now. I've grown extremely fond of my time in the recording studio, especially getting to record the scenes between Anakin and Ahsoka with Matt. They had become routine, commonplace and when I realized that the final scene of the season was the final scene with Ahsoka and Anakin, it broke my heart. I wasn't sure if I was ready for that change.

Naked Decor
Supon Phornirunlit is the brains behind Naked Décor, a vibrant, fabulously fun collection of throw pillows, trays, clocks, lamps, ornaments, animal head wall mounts and other funky home decor. Born in Thailand, Supon came to the US to further his education – and liked it so much that he decided to stay. It's a decision that's definitely worked for him: his Supon Design Group won over 1,000 design awards in under 10 years, and his first collection of Naked Décor throw pillows – called Live Like A Queen – sold out repeatedly in 2007, the first year of production. Supon's range has expanded to encompass themes like the British Invasion, vintage flair, and an all-dog wall art collection, Pooch Decor, founded after the death of his beloved pup, Pica. Doxie the dachshund is a particular favorite on pillows, but for your walls you'll find all sorts of canine friends – pugs, Dalmatians, German shepherds and more – just waiting to bring a little friendliness (and flair!) into your home.
