Some sectors in the building industry are going green. Roofing manufacturers, and those that supply products and materials that are used in roofing, now offer many environmentally friendly choices. Sustainability is an important consideration when choosing green roofing materials. Other important factors to consider include durability, energy consumption, ease of assembly, and whether the products are made from recycled materials.
Engineered Lumber The structural portions of roof framing benefit from engineered lumber. This lumber is considered to be green because it is made from wood fibers bound together with adhesives. It has great strength compared to its weight, and it will not deform and deflect from warping.
Recycled Newsprint Recycled newsprint and recycled agricultural fibers are now being used to make the sheathing that serves as the underlayment for roofs. These are considered to be recycled content sheet goods.

I don't know what others did before the Internet came around.
Suffered or healed based on the locally available support or criticism. I think one of the reasons the How Do I Deal With This Shit is so difficult is because recovering from infidelity was a female demographic, much like wearing a wedding ring was a female demographic up until post WW2. Anymore most of us just assume wearing a wedding ring is the norm and look askance at a married guy who doesn't wear his ring (outside temporarily taking it off for shit like sanitizing bottles or exercising or shit that may damage it) and assume he is being an unethical dog. That social adjustment took awhile; I think we are the unfortunate pathfinders of the new awareness of a social paradigm.
look askance at a married guy who doesn't wear his ring
You have the right to demand she stop being a stupid, fatass, lazy cow. She's going to moo about it.
WW: So, I finally told my husband the other day that he needs to get his shit together, that Im feeling like he doesnt appreciate me, and Im feeling like he doesnt love me.
WW Friend: OMFG girl, good for you. Look at you, finally standing up for yourself, Im so proud of you!!! Pass me that Appletini. So whatd he say?
WW: He told me hed be more than happy to change, provided I lost 30 lbs., and toned up my ass.
WW Friend: (Doing a hilarious spit-take) OMFG!!! What an asshole! No wonder youre so unhappy
.[AP] never talks to you like that! Fuck that guy!
WW: Right? God, he makes me so happy
I swear, I married the wrong person.
Rock the boat.
Make your demands.
Get what you need.
Don't settle for less.
I'd wither in that environment, because I'm not as good at organizing my thoughts on the fly verbally. I'd spend the whole time worrying about all the important shit that I was leaving out.
Your WW is an unreliable narrator.
Suffered or healed based on the locally available support or criticism.
You're a stuffed shirt, a role in her drama, a mirror to reflect the image she wants to see.
On the other hand, I wonder if what she sees when she looks at me is a constant reminder of her lying, hiding, and slutty behavior. This triggers her guilt, shame, and fear and would explain her desire to avoid me at all costs.
Rock the boat.
Make your demands.
Get what you need.
Don't settle for less.
I seemed to have blindly stumbled into this plan. My fWW has been forced to change. I have made demands that are not always adhered to the way I would like, but mostly complied with. We have a whole new set of expectations regarding our sex life, her traveling and in general the shit I won't put up with. As I mentioned before, she is working on her story for me, but my guess is for a 3 year LTA that ended 18 months ago, there will be many, many gaps. I also don't expect her to fully cop the the most salacious of her acts. However, I know just the exercise of having to produce such a document has forced her to take a real objective look at what she did. I think that in itself is helpful. Honestly, I feel one of the most important factors in the success of a R is the quality and competence of the MC/ IC. A good MC that calls the wayward out and holds them accountable is an absolute must. Not allowing the twisted cognitive dissonance to continue is imperative.
FTR- not too fun watching kids soccer in 102 degree heat on 3 hours sleep and 1/2 bottle of rye in you.
Your tangent summed up my situation perfectly and it also highlight my mistakes after D-day. I didn't do a very good job of ...
Rock the boat.
Make your demands.
Get what you need.
Don't settle for less.
I found a note that she had attached to an old love letter from me to her that I suspect she didn't think I would find for months. In summary she said that she was sorry for hurting me BUT I had to realize that she has been hurt too. I'm pretty sure in Apology 101 class we are told NEVER use the word BUT. I've always shown her empathy over this whole nightmare but in return I've been given very little. She also proclaimed that she isn't that person that hurt me anymore. Not sure who declared her *cured* or *changed*. It has NOT come from IC, reading, discussing or introspection so my assumption is that being a dry adulterer to her is *changed*. She has wasted 19 months of a second chance and still doesn't really understand why we are finding ourselves talking more to attorneys than to each other.
I share only to offer up my experiences and thoughts and not to encourage others to follow a similar path. I would have preferred to stay married, but it wasn't in the cards for me. I have benefited greatly by the posts in this thread. It took me a long time to finally stand up and make my demands. Better late than never I guess. I'm sure I would have never done it if it weren't for the great men here.
Life will continue to be a little rocky as we try to settle into new routines. My boys have been doing well so far and it will be a breath of fresh air this weekend when the STBXWW moves out. I've been quite sad. It isn't what I wanted. It will include enormous changes for all involved. BUT I also feel refreshed and ready to tackle these challenges and it is a strength that I just didn't poses 19 months ago.
jjct, my calender is opening up a little so let us know if there is going to be a GTG.
People can look askance at me all they want. I owe them nothing.
x2-I've not had one person ask in the nearly 6 yrs I haven't worn it. No dent or tan line left, like i never wore one. I remember the preacher saying my ring stood for her vows, and her ring stood for mine. Broken vows= no ring.
[This message edited by 64fleet at 12:00 PM, September 9th (Monday)]
After dday I asked her to take the ring her AP had given her off out of some final respect for me untIl we made decisions about what we were going to do. To mess with my mind she put her band and engagement ring back on whenI drove her and the kids to a vacation spot. On her return it was back off. I am assuming she is wearing jackoff's ring now that we are separated and heading for D.
Our "season of the A's" was decades ago. Didnt' have the internet, or SI, or WAL and at the time, the local IC/MC's were so remarkably FOS on the subject as to be worse than useless. So we made it up on the fly, and not very damn well, but we did R, and we're still married, and happy we are.
Still, in hindsight, I tolerated a lot of shit that I would advise people today not to, and I paid the price, including an RA. It took me at least 10 years to heal enough (not the usual SI 3-5 year guideline) to trust W enough to have kids with her. A's behind us, happy marriage, the "perfect couple".
Then, it all came crashing down when coworkers' A triggered PTSD attacks and flashbacks that put me right back to DDay with an E-ticket ride coupon in my sweaty fist. Thank God the ride was faster this time, because it was very bit as rough as the first time around, right down to the cold sweats, heart palpitations and dry heaves.
So when a buddy comes on here and asks how much info his WW should give up, my answer is always, "As much as you can tolerate, and not one bit less." This can be tough to absorb close to DDay, but you would be shocked at how much damage unanswered questions can do rolling around in your subconscious for 30 years. Trust me brothers, don't go there. If it's hard now, it's worse later.
My W's A really rocked my world, because I thought I was special. Bad shit didn't happen to me, especially shit I had control over. I was faithful, loving, attentive, supportive, attractive, a good lover and every damned thing an H is supposed to be. Didn't stop my WW from screwing a total loser at work. What I know now is that A's are common, the vast majority of M's encounter them, and we shouldn't be so damned surprised when they do. The "this shouldn't be happening" thought paralyzed me for a long time. Shouldn't have. Don't let it paralyze you, get to work.
The most succinct piece of wisdom on What To Do in the history of the world appeared right here in BMenz over the weekend. Every newborn should have it tattooed on their wrist so they can turn to it later. I would pay a lot to mail these four lines back into the past so I could read it on DDay +1.
Word. Golden. Word.
At first, I continued to wear mine because I still loved my WW, and was determined not to let her get away over stupid fucking POSER.
Later, when she was pushing me to have "an A of my own" so I would understand (and I found out later, so she could put a stop to my questions about hers) I discovered that single women don't like wedding rings. So I took it off for a few years, but didn't like the attention I was getting. OK, validation, check. I'm still hot. Check. Moving on.
I did get mixed up with a married woman who didn't care if I was wearing a ring or not, not my best move.
Years later we went out together and bought beautiful new rings together. We both wear them to this day.
It has only been a week, but I kind of miss it. It feels strange not having one on.

So I took it off for a few years, but didn't like the attention I was getting. OK, validation, check. I'm still hot. Check. Moving on.
I think that's what I was getting at. Not men who don't wear rings for a reason, but men who don't wear a ring as a means of misinformation. Not saying you did that, MW - the quote is to demonstrate the validation and attention a wedding ring tends to head off in most circumstances. I don't think any guy here took his ring off in order to go out and chat with women.
It took me at least 10 years to heal enough (not the usual SI 3-5 year guideline) to trust W enough to have kids with her.
If I could blow up the font size on this one I would. Important take away point that can not be understated is that it is not the time that heals, it is what you do with the time. The 3-5 years guideline is based on people not inflicting further injury, just processing what you know about. It seems to work for those who D because there are no new injuries being inflicted, if you try to R, there will be times that are not ideal, or times that are almost as bad as the initial discovery. I suspect that it is possible to heal in under 3 years if everything is handled just right, but I doubt that anyone could be "on" all the time like that required, and if they could then they probably have enough personal discipline to not have an A regardless of temptation.
Do not back up. Severe tire damage.
- the quote is to demonstrate the validation and attention a wedding ring tends to head off in most circumstances.
Ironically I got more "attention" when I wore mine. I guess married guys are "safer" in my neck of the woods...that or women are more whorish. Haven't figured that one out yet. I'm trying not to use my STBXWW as a measure of that but it's hard not to.
Eh, fuck it. Scrap that whole thing.
We are on the same page. We took the rings off because they were damaged, as was our M, not because I was looking for an A.
I did discover that guys not wearing rings get a lot more attention. Check. OTOH, WW reported that if anything, she got hit on LESS when she wasn't wearing it.
I've written about this before, has become one of my "life's studies". There is something remarkably messed up in our culture but I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that it is true.
The easiest women in the world to screw are married. There is a whole class of POSERS who have got that figured out and make a hobby of taking advantage of it. I can't begin to list how many kinds of wrong that is, on all sides, but I've seen way to much of it not to believe.
Back to where I started. I wanted a new wedding ring for a lot of reasons, but stopping the implied "false advertizing" was one of them.

The Gamecocks posted an overall athletics department GPA of 3.017, bettering the 2.946 mark their athletes posted last year.
Only rifle (2.846), football (2.585) and men's basketball (2.435) missed the mark, but the football and basketball teams had higher GPAs than the year before.
The football team increased by 16 percentage points, the basketball team by 39 (tied with women's basketball for the largest improvement over the previous year).
"The (GPA) of this football program has been on a steady rise and will continue to rise," Gamecocks football coach Jack Crowe told The Star last week.
"I think when we first started tracking this it was 2.23. That's what I focus on … how well do they do in class?
"When your GPA is solid, you have a solid academic program. All the rest of it, to some degree, is circumstantial. If you're in the class, what kind of grades did you make? That's sort of the nuts and bolts of it."
JSU women's teams occupied the top four — and six of the top seven — spots in the academic standings. Volleyball, soccer and women's tennis all posted team marks higher than 3.5.
The women's tennis team recently received Public Recognition from the NCAA for landing within the top 10 percent of Academic Progress Rates in its sport.
The positive GPA report comes on the heels of last week's pronouncement of the men's basketball program receiving a postseason ban and other APR-related sanctions for the upcoming season for failing to meet the conditions of a previous waiver against penalties.

Rush-Limelight (Best Bassist-Geddy Lee)-from Colleen
Born to Run-Bruce Springsteen (Best Title Track)-from Bill
Lucky Man-ELP (best heard with headphones or earbuds)-from Chuck
You Really Got Me-Kinks-(Britains Greatest Rock Bands)-from Aimee
Centerfold-The J Geils Band (Rocks Greatest "The" Bands)-from Susan
I Can See For Miles-The Who-(Rocks Greatest Front Men)-from Will
Iron Man-Black Sabbath--(Greatest Guitar Licks)-Pete
Thanks for the input! Tomorrow night "The List" will feature 7 great tunes for hitting the "blacks"...just in case you are headed for the slopes this weekend. Check our Mountain Ski Report while you are here on-line...Happy Skiing!

This comment is a little late, but this is the third time I know of that Rush has made "The List" including "Best Drummers" and even "Bands that Should Have Made the RnR Hall of Fame, But Haven't". Yet, I've never heard Rush on the regular play list, and I've listened to this station a lot since its inception. I know you guys don't generally play the more juvenile 70's party rock bands, but it seems that a number of Rush songs fit your more "grown up" rock demographic a lot better than bands like, say, Van Halen or Guns and Roses. Dan, I suspect you would agree with that and I know you don't decide the regular play list, but this is one more opinion that Rush is definitely KQMT material! Thanks, John
It is cool that we can get the
business loans
moreover, this opens up completely new possibilities.

LAS VEGAS, July 1, 2009 – Lee's Summit School District was named the 2009 District of the Year in School Nutrition today during the 3rd General Session of the School Nutrition Association's Annual National Conference. The District's Child Nutrition Department was recognized for improving the health and nutrition of the district's food offerings, implementing a strong professional development program and exercising superior financial management. Child Nutrition Director Jane Hentzler, RD, SNS accepted the award on behalf of the school district.
Student taste testing, nutritious meals, staff professional development, and an emphasis on strong customer service have launched the Lee's Summit Child Nutrition Department to the pinnacle of the school nutrition profession. The district surpassed the Keys of Excellence, the national standards for operating school nutrition programs. Lee's Summit is only the second recipient of the award, for which eligibility is limited to those school nutrition programs that have earned the District of Excellence Distinction in School Nutrition.
As the District of the Year in School Nutrition, Lee's Summit School District was awarded $25,000 to further improve and enhance their school nutrition program operations. The funds will be used by the school district to promote wellness and nutrition education by creating a nutrition library for all grade levels, expanding lunch room promotions in the media and the community and strengthening school Nutrition Councils by including more school principals and student advisors. The district also plans to continue its dedication to professional development by promoting SNA continuing education and certification to staff members.
Committed to professional excellence, the Lee's Summit Child Nutrition Department established an outstanding professional development program. All management staff have been SNA certified through classes conducted by the district's central office staff. By 2010, the district hopes to certify all managers and production staff. All school nutrition staff receive comprehensive training through out the year. A further demonstration of Lee's Summit's commitment to professional excellence is shown through it's involvement with SNA. School nutrition staff members are strongly encouraged to participate in SNA activities through the local, state, and national levels.
Providing both healthy meals and nutrition education is a hallmark of the Lee's Summit child nutrition program. Fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables, whole grain bread items, and low-fat dairy products are staples on district menus for both breakfast and lunch. The student body actively helps the district nutrition staff select new items through taste testing throughout the school year. The district also runs a very active student Nutrition Services Council, further empowering students to make healthy decisions about the foods they eat.
Lee's Summit was one of eight districts nationally awarded the District of Excellence Distinction. This recognition highlights school districts that complete a thorough self-assessment in all four "key" areas in the Keys to Excellence program then demonstrate that the national best practice standards that make up the "Keys" are met through a comprehensive application packet. The application documents knowledge and marketing, administration, and operations. By being named the District of the Year, Lee's Summit, Mo., rose above the District of Excellence applicants in 2009 by best reflecting the Keys Express national best practice standards. The district was also evaluated on the integration of their programming into the community and demonstrated dedication and commitment to setting examples for both students and other staff and faculty.
Keys to Excellence is a national best practice standards program that has been a core component of SNA's professional development and training programs since 1992. This tool serves as the foundation of SNA's certification and credentialing programs. It also provides a way for school districts to conduct self-assessments and to compare their program to the industry's gold standard while helping meet their goals to serve healthy, delicious food in a cost-effective way.
In 2007, an expert committee completed a thorough review of the best practice standards for the District of Excellence Distinction in School Nutrition and added the District of the Year Award component to recognize one outstanding district each year . Districts submit an extensive application to a formal peer review panel. District of Excellence recipients may also apply for the prestigious $25,000 District of the Year Award. The District of Excellence and District of the Year programs are made possible through the support of the National Dairy Council®.
To learn more about the District of Excellence program, please visit www.schoolnutrition.org/KEYS.
SNA is a national, non-profit professional organization representing more than 55,000 members who provide high quality, low-cost meals to students across the country. The Association and its members are dedicated to feeding children safe and nutritious meals. Founded in 1946, SNA is the only association devoted exclusively to protecting and enhancing children's health and well being through school meals and sound nutrition education.
The School Nutrition Foundation, established in 1964, is a non-profit corporation that provides high-quality professional development, financial aid and research programs to child nutrition professionals and members of SNA. The Foundation's commitment to the child nutrition community is integral to implementing positive changes in school meals and, ultimately, to the health of school children.
LAS VEGAS, June 30, 2009 – U.S. Department of Agriculture Deputy Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services Dr. Janey Thornton, Ph.D, SNS will address the School Nutrition Association's 63th Annual National Conference in Las Vegas, Nev. Dr. Thornton will speak during the conference's 2nd General Session today, June 30, 2009.
In her position as Deputy Under Secretary, Dr. Thornton is responsible for providing policy direction to the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) and the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP). The National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program are among the federal programs she oversees.
In her remarks, Dr. Thornton discussed the Obama Administration's efforts to reduce childhood overweight and obesity. She noted that the USDA is taking numerous steps to encourage families to lead healthier lifestyles by encouraging people to make smart food choices, eat more fruits and vegetables, control portion sizes, and increase physical activity. Ultimately, it's parents and children that must take responsibility for themselves.
"We need to empower parents and challenge kids to take personal responsibility for their actions… As role models, each of us needs to set the example of making healthier food choices and participating in daily physical activity for our children to emulate," Dr. Thornton remarked.
Nutritious, healthy school meals are one solution in helping families eat healthier and teaching children valuable health lessons. "The school meal program is instrumental in teaching kids how to eat… As we all know, lifelong nutrition and physical activity habits are formed in childhood. Helping children develop these values through the school meals programs is an investment in our future," said Dr. Thornton.
Dr. Thornton was appointed Deputy Undersecretary in April 2009. For over 25 years, Dr. Thornton was the school nutrition director for the Hardin County School District in Elizabethtown, Ky. She served as the President of the School Nutrition Association (SNA) from 2006-2007. Dr. Thornton has also served as the President of the School Nutrition Foundation and was a founding member of the Global Child Nutrition Foundation Board of Directors.
The SNA Annual National Conference, June 29 – July 2, 2009, featured over 5,500 school nutrition professionals and school foodservice industry members participating in over 80 education sessions, the school nutrition industry's largest exhibit hall and guest speakers including best selling author Jeannette Walls.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (June 30, 2009) – Whole grain noodles, hummus dip, sunflower seeds, frozen bananas, soy nut butter, reduced sugar yogurt and 100% pure Alaskan Pollock are just a few of the nutritious new foods and beverages that could be served in schools next year. Low-fat versions of student favorites, new ways to serve whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables as well as state-of-the-art kitchen equipment and supplies all contribute to more than 30 million balanced, healthy meals served in schools each day.
More than 5,500 school nutrition professionals from around the country will pack into 200,000 square feet of exhibit space today at the 63rd Annual National Conference of the School Nutrition Association. With food and labor costs escalating, they will scout for ways to aid in the delivery of affordable, high-quality school meals in their local school districts. More than 315 companies will display a wide variety of healthy food and beverage products, equipment, nutrition education materials, software, services and more on the largest exhibit floor in the school nutrition industry at the Mandalay Bay Conference Center from June 29 to July 2, 2009. Among the healthy products on exhibit and expected to appear in lunchrooms this fall:

Public pension assets at new high
The Federal Reserve reported that as of Q4 2013, state and local defined benefit assets are $3.88 trillion, which is held in trust for 15 million working and 8 million retired employees of state and local government. The pre-recession high was $3.2 trillion. (Economic Indicator News)
29 states have altered cost-of-living adjustments
Since 2009, 16 states have changed COLAs for current retirees, 7 states have changed COLAs for current employees, and 6 states have modified COLAs for future employees. (Issue Brief, Feb. 2014)
More public employees are contributing
Since 2009, 36 states have increased required employee contribution rates. (Issue Brief, Jan. 2014)
Public Fund Survey More than 85 percent of all state and local government pension assets and members in the U.S. are represented in the Public Fund Survey. Survey data is taken primarily from retirement system annual financial reports, and also comes from actuarial valuations, benefits guides, and interviews with retirement system staff members. It is intended to promote sound public retirement system policies and administration by increasing transparency and understanding of the public retirement system community. Public Fund Survey is a joint venture of NASRA and the National Council on Teacher Retirement. The database requires separate login; the Summary of Findings is available here.Roll Call Capturing notable events and developments in public retirement systems from reports since 2005, Roll Call is a perennial highlight of the annual conference.

text: Gynecologic (GYN) cancer Gynecologic cancer is any cancer that starts in a woman's reproductive organs. The five main types of gynecologic cancer are cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal and vulvar. Fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer are also considered part of this group but are very rare. Legacy's team of outstanding specialists will work together to evaluate your case and develop a personalized treatment plan for you. At Legacy we understand that you have a life, not just a diagnosis Award-winning care Legacy ranks among the nation's top cancer programs and has received multiple quality awards including the Outstanding Achievement Award from the American College of Surgeons' Commission (ACS) on Cancer. The ACS ranks Legacy's cancer program as one of the best in the nation. One example: Legacy's patients with uterine cancer survive at higher rates than the national average. Legacy Cancer Institute overall five-year survival rate for patients with uterine cancer: 82.6% National average overall five-year survival rate (among 1,490 accredited Commission on Cancer programs): 79.9% See more survival rate data. Treatment options There are several ways to treat gynecologic cancer. The specific type of cancer and how advanced it is will determine your treatment options and may include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Patients often receive a combination of treatments. Surgery Hysterectomy-robotic surgery for early stage GYN cancer Women with cancerous gynecological conditions are often treated with hysterectomy -- the surgical removal of the uterus. If your doctor recommends a hysterectomy, you may be a candidate for our robot-assisted hysterectomy. This incredibly precise procedure requires only a few small incisions, so you'll experience minimum pain, scarring and downtime. Hysterectomy can also be performed in minimally invasive way, without the use of a robot. Learn more about surgical options and our surgeons Radiation therapy Brachytherapy Our technologically advanced brachytherapy program is the largest and most experienced in the region. In brachytherapy, radioactive material is placed in the body in direct contact with the tumor so that healthy tissues, farther from the radiation source, are exposed to a much lower dose. This technique allows more radiation to be given safely and can result in a much shorter and more convenient course of treatment. Used alone or with external radiation, brachytherapy is particularly useful for gynecologic tumors, among others. At our Good Samaritan Comprehensive Cancer Center, stress management therapists are available to help patients stay calm with breathing techniques during this procedure. Learn more about radiation therapies at Legacy Health. Chemotherapy Chemotherapy may also be a treatment option. Learn more about our medical oncologists, or find an infusion location. Physician case review Our multidisciplinary cancer care conferences review complex cases to provide an expert "second opinion" on diagnosis, pre-treatment evaluation, staging, treatment strategy and rehabilitation. The team includes medical oncologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, nurses, research coordinators and other cancer care staff. You're not alone At the Legacy Cancer Institute we offer services to support every aspect of your treatment including your physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. We offer a wide range of support services to help you and your family. If you need help just ask us, and we'll help you find the support you need. Nurse navigators Our personalized support services begin with our nurse navigators. They will help you throughout your treatment, from knowing what to expect to finding the right support services and helping you manage symptoms and treatment side effects.

The process took 1 week - interviewed at SunGard in July 2011.
Interview Details I applied for this job in June. I got a call from them for first interview.
Not to mention How rude their HR was on the phone , but anyways I decided to go and try my luck.
I went through the first interview and it was quite easy. Then I got a second interview within a week and it went well as well. After that I had to wait two week to find out that I was not selected.
People there were grumpy and looked torned out.
I find this company very unproffessions. Receptions is grumpy and extremelly rude.

I applied online and the process took a day - interviewed at SunGard in November 2010.
Interview Details I applied for the role of Application Support Analyst at a listed derivatives technology division and was emailed by the in-house recruiter, who clarified the salary range on offer. After replying that I was happy to proceed with the application, it all went silent.
After one month or thereabouts, I got a phone call from the recruiter, explaining that the position had been put on hold for a while but was now re-opened. He arranged for me to be interviewed by the Operations Director and I thought the interview went very well. At the end of the interview, the Director mentioned that it might be a while before I hear from them due to the number of applicants.
After waiting for over two months, I emailed the recruiter and also left him a voicemail to find out whether I was still being considered for the next round or not but was never contacted back. A few weeks later, the status of my online application was changed from 'considering' to 'withdrawn' and I also noticed the position was being re-advertised.
The experience was completely unprofessional and discorteous and certainly reflects poorly on the firm's culture.

I applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at SunGard in February 2014.
Interview Details It was just an HR phone screening and two weeks later a face to face interview. I met two Operations Specialist and they just asked basic technical questions and questions regarding past experiences. They then took me on a tour of the facility and data center itself, thoroughly explained everything the job and facility entailed of and did an excellent job answer all my questions.
At the end of the interview, the Ops Specialists seemed very eager and pleased with the interview and gave me the impression an offer would be coming my way. They said the HR rep would contact me with further actions to take (sign offer letter, drug test, background check, ect). And that's where everything ended. No word from anyone from HR. I email and call several times after and complete dud. This has given me a very negative view of this company and how they operate things. I took a lot of time and effort out of my job to come out and meet them and they weren't even courteous enough to send me a quick email or a call letting me know what was going on. Luckily I received a job offer else where a week after this interview.

I applied online and the process took 4 months - interviewed at SunGard in November 2013.
Interview Details Applied online during the summer for two different positions (listed above).
Was first contacted a month or so later by a recruiter for the Implementation Consultant role. Was asked via email for about salary requirements. Replied to recruiter and didn't hear back. Followed up with recruiter via email and was told the HM was not responding to the recruiter.
A couple months passed and was contacted for the Sr Financial Application Analyst role in Calabasas. Spoke to a different recruiter for 5 minutes or so. He basically asked about employment history and why I was not currently working. Then was scheduled for a phone interview with the hiring manager.
Learned that the role was very different from the description. Basically back office investment accounting and system maintenance for investment management firms whereas the description leaned more towards strict IT and development work. Anyway, the VP of the group was the hiring manager that I spoke to and learned that it was a flat organization. Before ended the call the HM stated that she'd like to bring me in to met a couple members of the team face to face.
There didn't seem to be any communication between HM and recruiter. Recruiter called to follow up and see if I were interested. Told him yes and that the HM said she would call him to schedule the next round.
A couple weeks pass so I follow up with the recruiter to see what is going on. No feedback or communication with this company since that instant.
Interview Question – What is your salary requirement (asked before even knowing exactly what the role(s) entail?
What is your salary history?
Why have you left previous employers?
Why are you interested in working here?
What do you know about investment accounting?
What do you know about general accounting?

I applied through other source and the process took 1 week - interviewed at SunGard in September 2012.
Interview Details They first called me in the last week of September '12 for first face to face round.
within a week they called me again for second f2f techno functional round, and the manager was looking very impressed with my profile.
Immediately after this discussion the Recruitment HR head had a discussion on notice period and compensation.
Very next day he asked for my sal slips and latest appraisal letter and told me that they are in process of rolling out me an offer.
I waited till mid of October '12 and then called him, and his answer was we are in process. And till the date I did not get any offer, even HR stopped picking my calls after sometime.
So, my question here is why the hell you call upon candidates just like that if you are not sure about your requirements or budget. If a candidate doesn't join a company after accepting offer, these companies used to blacklist them, so what kind of behaviour would this be considered ?

An increasingly common stop on the China tour circuit, some visitors regard Chengde as one of the highlights of their trip. It had been just another village until the 18th century, when Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi stumbled upon it during a hunting trip. With the Wulie River gurgling through and the Yanshan Mountains providing an impressive backdrop, Chengde was deemed an ideal spot to establish a summer retreat where the Emperor could escape the heat of the capital and indulge in hunting and fishing.
Now it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the magnificent Mountain Resort and the Eight Outer Monasteries. Although children enjoy romping through the imperial gardens, there's little else to entertain younger visitors. It's best to visit in summer or early autumn, as some tourist facilities close in the off-season.

I have an unactivated iphone with 1.0.2 running on it. I followed the directions from iphone.unlock.no, upgraded to 1.1.1, then 1.1.2 then did the wifi 1.1.3 (following the directions all the way). I tried putting my tmobile sim card in, and now all I get is "no service."
I went back and re-read all the directions, and I found a part that I might have done wrong. I didnt run AnySIM 1.2.1u before I upgraded to 1.1.3 using the "official 1.1.3 upgrader" in the System catagory in Insaller.app.
During the installation everything seemed fine, and worked according to plan. Now should I downgrade to 1.1.2 and then use AnySIM 1.2.1u, or can I run AnySIM 1.2.1u from FM 1.1.3?
Also, if i downgrade from the "official 1.1.3 upgrader" to 1.1.2, will everything still be ok?

Knowing without an ounce of skepticism, that I would graduate a psychology major when I arrived at St. Bens, I surprised myself in discovering an alternate combination that allows me to pursue my passions. Currently as a junior, I am an English and Pre-Medicine major. For someone looking to go into medicine as a profession, English has always been a way for me to express why, rather than just how.
This is my second year at the Writing Center and I absolutely love it! It has been amazing experiencing the different writing styles of each individual writer here and seeing the connections one finds - finding how you, as a writer, teach me to think about things in a whole new way.
When I'm not travelling or at school, I am contentedly relaxing at home in Nassau, Bahamas. While I do enjoy spending time with my family and friends or going to the beach, I also avidly love reading (my favorite series is Harry Potter, but my favorite novels are The Book Thief and Pride and Prejudice), listening to music, and inviting friends over for Xbox sessions. My academic interests include World War II, the Holocaust, Post-Colonialism, Philosophy, and Cultural Politics.

Matsui was batting .250 with three home runs and 34 RBIs in 58 games, and many people questioned whether the three-time Central League All-Star would be able to make the necessary adjustments to succeed in the Major Leagues.
Fast forward six weeks.
Matsui is sitting in a ballroom at the Westin hotel in Chicago, dressed in a shirt and tie, talking to the press at All-Star Media Day. With a .299 average, nine home runs and 66 RBIs, Matsui helped lead the Yankees to a strong first-half finish, as New York went to the break with a two-game lead on the Boston Red Sox in the American League East. In the process, the Japanese import finished second in AL outfield voting, earning a starting spot in center field next to his fellow countryman, Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki.
"A few years ago, we couldn't have imagined Japanese players in the Major League All-Star Game," Matsui said through his interpreter. "But we're playing. It's great. The fans in Japan are very proud of how we have performed here."
So are Matsui's teammates. Jason Giambi, a fellow AL All-Star, raved about Matsui's game since he first saw him in Japan a couple of years ago. This winter, after recruiting Matsui during November's All-Star Series in Japan, Giambi said that the addition of Matsui would bolster New York's already-potent lineup. Even during Matsui's early-season struggles, Giambi was confident that his teammate would bounce back and put up solid numbers.
"Having great months and down months are part of the big leagues," Giambi said. "It was a question of how long it would take him, and him not getting down on himself when he struggled. Once he figured out how guys were throwing to him, he took off."
Matsui was as surprised as anybody to earn the All-Star start, especially considering his performance over the first two months of the season.
"He's been under a lot of pressure, including his own, but he never gave in. He kept working and getting better," said Jorge Posada. "It's been a lot of fun to see him rebound. When guys give up in the middle of May, I never understand it. There's a lot of season left, and he's the perfect example of numbers getting better."
Matsui, who entertains dozens of reporters' requests on a daily basis throughout the season, was hardly intimidated by the media turnout in Chicago. He spent Sunday night at the House of Blues watching teammate Bernie Williams play the first concert of his musical career, and said that he's looking forward to seeing Giambi try to defend his title in Monday night's Home Run Derby.
"It's my first experience here," Matsui said. "Having Soriano, Giambi and Posada here has made it a little easier."
Oakland's Mark Mulder, who faced Matsui early in the season, said he was impressed with what he has seen of Matsui on TV, and believes that he will be a much different player the next time he faces him from the first time.
"Watching him play, he's definitely picked it up," Mulder said. "We played him early in the season, which was tough for him. He was facing a bunch of guys he'd never seen, but he's made some adjustments and he's doing a lot better. I'm sure he'll have a different approach."
Woody Williams, who faced Matsui at the beginning of his hot streak in June, was impressed with Matsui's perseverance.
"He made a quick adjustment," Williams said. "He struggled early on and once he got a little comfortable, he was tearing the cover off the ball. He can wear a pitcher down. I think he's going to have a big second half."
Having seen most teams at least once, Matsui will indeed have a better idea of what he's doing over the next two-and-a-half months. Having figured out how to identify the two-seam fastball, Matsui is looking forward to contributing and helping his team reach the postseason.
"I'm still adjusting to American baseball," Matsui said. "Over here, they pitch with a lot of two-seamers, which I didn't see much in Japan. That was the biggest thing I had to figure out, and I'm still getting better. I don't put expectations on myself, I just try to do my best. I'll look at it at the end of the season and reflect on it."
With an All-Star start under his belt in his rookie season, where will Matsui go from here? Hopefully, he says, back at the Midsummer Classic next season and the one after that.
"It's going to be a good year for me," Matsui said. "But I'd like to challenge myself in the next two years to get back to the All-Star Game."

Great for work!
My husband is a manager and wears a tie, but not a suit or jacket. He got these shoes to wear to work because he is on his feet all day, and he loves them. They are not as thick-soled as other Crocs he has had, but they are still "way more comfortable" than any other shoe he's worn to work. He was worn them every single day since he got them a month ago and loves them.

Food and Diet to Lower Blood Pressure
Blood pressure which is also named as hypertension in medical terms is a serious health issue and brings many other health problems along with it. A person with high blood pressure would not even himself know that he is suffering from HBP unless he gets diagnosed for the same. There are no clear symptoms of the disease and you only suspect your health when much of the harm is already done. What does blood pressure mean? Blood pressure is the force with which your blood pushed through the artery walls.
Thus a long term high BP may result in hardening of the artery walls and further may also lead to heart attacks and strokes. Enough have been talked about HBP now and here we go its treatment and prevention. Below are detailed some food and diet to lower your blood pressure. The Dash Diet: The Dash Diet is an approved diet by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. Following this diet along with some aerobic exercises would help to reduce your blood pressure to a great extent. It includes the following servings.
- 7-8 servings of whole grains every day
- 4-5 servings of fruits every day
- 4-5 servings of vegetables
- 2-3 servings of fat-free dairy products

Most zone valves have a manual override...it should be safe to open it. The valve could be open, and not circulating in that loop because of an air lock, though, and purging might solve the problem...the valve could be okay. But, I think I'd try to manually open it to see if that does anything before I tried to purge it.
Depending on the brand and type, it might just be the motor head, which is replaceable without changing the valve.
To purge, the valve would have to be open, either manually, or, it's possible it is already open if the thermostat is calling for heat, but not flowing because of an airlock. Some have an indicator that shows whether it is closed or open.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was so impressed with my invites when I received them in the mail recently. Buying anything over the net you always run the risk that they won't look very nice or be very good quality when they arrive. But this was not the case with these. They looked exactly the same if not better. The colours are great, printing fantastic and the stationery is exceptional quality. I only went the standard card stock but it was very thick and generous. I went for a scalloped edge which made these invites look even cuter. A perfect match for my engagement party styling. Love them! I ordered them online one week and received them the next. Very fast delivery!"
"This card not only gets the message across in a romantic way, but you allow your guest to get to know you a bit better, and understand your personality by the picture you choose. Words are legible and they stand out when all is done. GREAT CARD!"
"This invitation is just as beautiful as I hoped it would be. The process of personalizing it was super easy and it allowed me to make so many changes such as color, font, placement, and so on. I found a coupon code on the web and received free shipping which is always great and they came in just a few days! The invitation looked exactly like it did on the computer. The images were really clear (although the front of the invite is intentionally a little faded). I have no complaints about the way these invites turned out EXCEPT I forgot to order the higher quality paper :( it's just a few dollars more in total and I just forgot to select it as I finalized my order. Wish I had done this just to see what it looked like. If you're considering these, don't hesitate,,"
"I have sent this announcement/invitation before for my other son(Andrew) when he got engaged - my future-daughter-in-law Julie, just loved it so much we used again to announce my son(Stephen) and Julie's engagement. The only wording "tying the knot" we did not like the word terminology and just decided to use "are engaged". The overall appearance, however, is beautiful and we are proud to send this announcement to friends and family - thank you!"
"My fiance and I used this design for our engagement party. The quality of the card was above and beyond what we had expected! The paper was lovely and surprisingly thick (which was perfect, it didn't bend or tear easily), and the printing looked exactly as it did on the website. We accidentally ordered too many, so we called WPD's customer service line. They were INCREDIBLE. Someone was on the line with us within a minute and was friendly, helpful, and fixed the problem immediately without any difficulty. We will be using WPD for all of our future wedding needs because the experience has been nothing but fabulous."

Hi Johnathon,Use the definition: limf(x)=L means for each e>0 there is a d>0 such that |x-a|<d ==> |f(x)-L|<e; that is,x-->a 2 2 lim(x - 1)=3 means for each e>0 there is a d>0 such that |x-2|<d ==> |(x - 1) -3|<e. x-->2Now choose d in terms of e. Example: let d=g(e) but be specific like d=sqrt(e). You may have toget creative. Then you need to "transform" the |x-2|<g(e) into |x^2-1-3|<e;that is, you needto show that |x-2|<d implies that |x^2 - 4|<e.That's the general procedure. But there are many functions that finding an appropriate d anddoing the "transformation" is nigh unto impossible. That's why they prove that products, sums,differences, and quotients (excluding where the denominator may be or approach zero) arecontinuous. This makes all polynomials continuous. Then x^2-1 is continuous since it is a productand a difference of the continuous functions x and 1..Then the nice little theorem that says if a function is continuous at a then the limit as x-->a is f(a).makes the limit here as x-->2 turn out to be f(2)=2^2 - 1 = 3.Good luck! By the way, what would it mean to say that L is NOT the limit of f(x) as x approches a?
How do i prove this using delta epsilon-Lim x^2-1=3x-->2(please use d and e for delta and epsilon)

Lindsay Lohan Back To BFFs With Mom Dina, Voting For Mitt Romney
Just two days after Lindsay Lohan got into an altercation with her mother, Dina Lohan (which culminated in a frantic call to 911), the actress says she and her mom are back on track.
Access Hollywood caught up with the "Liz & Dick" star at a promotional event for Mr. Pink's Ginseng Drink in Beverly Hills on Thursday night, where Lindsay refused to discuss the fight as she and Dina are besties, once again.
"I'm not gonna rehash it for my mom's sake because, yes, my mom's my best friend," LiLo told Access, when asked about their argument.
While Dina and her daughter may be back on good terms, Lindsay didn't seemed thrilled with dad Michael Lohan, who released a tape of her phone call to him on the night of the fight.
"I don't have any reason to speak to [my dad]," when asked if things were "OK" with her father.
Family drama aside, politicos can breathe a bit easier now as Lindsay said she's keeping up with the Presidential race and has chosen one lucky (?) candidate to support.
While the 26-year-old frequently reTweets posts from Obama's Twitter account, LiLo said she's voting for Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
"I just think employment is really important right now," Lindsay told E! News at the event, when asked if she is "keeping up with the election."
"So, as of now, Mitt Romney [has my vote]," she continued.
The actress was also happy to dish about her new, bright red 'do (which she debuted on the pink carpet).
"It's actually the wrong color than it's supposed to be," she told Access. "But it's the color of my natural hair and it will get there."

A pefect example of why Leftist "logic" fails... Martin was in the commission of a crime at the time he was shot
But that's fine, after all he was black, right?
If Trayvon had a gun, they never would have met. Trayvon would've used it to hold up the c-store where he bought the slurpee and then split.
