It's not usually considered a good thing to refer to a film as a piece of therapy. But in the case of OC87, which opens at Reading Gaslamp Cinemas on Friday, June 15, it most certainly is. The film is directed by Bud Clayman, who was an aspiring filmmaker more than two decades ago before being devastated by mental illness, and the film's subtitle, The Obsessive Compulsive, Major Depression, Bipolar, Asperger's Movie, gives you a sense of what he's been up against.
Clayman, who had a pair of co-directors in the process, aimed to document his attempts to fit in and be normal, and in that regard, we see him trying to clean up his filthy apartment, speed-dating and singing some karaoke. We also hear the running monologue of what goes through his head almost all the time, as his obsessive-compulsive disorder controls pretty much all of his thoughts and he constantly struggles to make sure it doesn't control his actions.
This is a deeply personal film, but it's also often very funny and insightful. Clayman knows just how socially awkward he can appear, and since he's able to laugh about it, so are we, though at times you may feel like next to the OCD there's TMI.Write to email@example.com and email@example.com.

Over at Addicted to Inchies Yahoo Group this month we are making inchie books instead of our usual make themed pick inchies.
My partner recently lost her husband who was battling cancer so I found this nice verse to add to my inchie book.
This first pic is the front and back cover and I attached a charm to the bottom ring that says Peace.
The first inside page is done with a plain piece of cardstock with ripped pieces of masking tape layered one over top of the other till the cardstock is covered. I then took my Twinkling H20's and painted using more than one colour blending one into the other then applied the words.
This page is done using Distress Inks, Peeled Paint and Blue(forgot the name argh)
And this page is done using Twinkling H20's on cardstock with orange, purple and looks here like gold. I placed eyelets on all the pages then made my own rings out of wire to hold the book together.
I hope JoJo likes it. It was fun and it all came together as I had planned.
Don't forget inchies are a one inch x one inch square so if you can imagine a book this small, here it is.
I have completed I think 10 or more now, they are very addicting.
And these are some Zetti cards I made for a FlickR group I belong to, Let's Swap ATC's.
I always thought Zetti was on a dark side of art of which I don't really find appealing to me but it is not, it can be if you chose it to be but basically you can stick heads on bodies that are larger or smaller, different legs and arms. I have played around with backgrounds using old book pages, acrylic paints. I used lids to make circles and markers to do borders. It is a free style sort of Zany art as I like to call it.
Zany Zetti is still available for my trade group but the 2 below it are spoken for and soon to be travelling to their destinations.
So have fun with art, relax and just go for it.
Thanks for stopping by.

Mind Your Head: 3 Ways You Can Get Whiplash Injury
The head and neck are very fragile parts of the body. One of them houses one of the most important parts of the body while the other is connected to the spine. Damaging any of these two areas can have very debilitating, even fatal effects on a person.
As such, injuries related to these areas should be treated no matter how mild they may be. Among these injuries is whiplash, a common occurrence following an experience of injury from the sudden motion of the head and neck. Murray's Apollo Chiropractor insists that whiplash therapy should be prescribed immediately to sufferers.
Sports-related injuries
Athletes of contact sports are no strangers to whiplash injuries. Often, these can occur when a forceful impact from behind takes the athlete by surprise. The neck can then snap forward and back due to the suddenness of the motion.
Following the violent contact, athletes may sometimes experience a stiffness or pain in the neck area. According to Very Well, sometimes there may also be some pain in the upper back or shoulders.
With proper treatment, such as going for whiplash therapy in Murray, can help in hastening the recovery of any injuries attained during the accident. Treatment and therapy are especially important, as these can avoid making the condition into a more permanent debilitating one.
Auto accidents
One of the most common causes of whiplash injuries are vehicular accidents. Often, when a vehicle is rear-ended by another automobile, what happens is a rapid movement where the head is forced back and forth in a sudden movement, according to the Healthline.
For the most part, some whiplash incidents can result in minor discomfort. However, more serious cases will need whiplash therapy. In line with this, especially in car accidents with serious consequences, legal charges are pressed, so it's also best to document the condition and the therapy that follows to cover healthcare costs.
Concussions from traumas or abuse
Physical trauma or assault can also cause whiplash. This can happen when one is physically assaulted or suffers a fall. The most known cause of whiplash from assaults occur with the shaken baby syndrome, which happens mostly in infants and toddlers.
These are just some of the causes of whiplash. The effects of suffering these can range from mild to serious, depending on how big the impact of collision is. More importantly, how immediate medical attention was received can also count, so it's best to be aware of how whiplash can occur.
Five Fundamental Bore Driller Techniques
Over the years, drilling has been highly developed, and regarded as a highly specialized and technical activity. In the old days, drilling was a tedious business and the standard method used the jumper rigs. Well and bore drilling provider Carlyle Drilling emphasizes that modern techniques have become fast and efficient, and have shown that the process is much more than just making a hole in the ground. Numerous enhancements have been made to the basic bore driller techniques to make it more useful.
Here are some basic techniques used by bore drillers:
Sonic drilling
Sonic drilling is a technique that involves rotating and vibrating the rod, core barrel and causes casing at resonant sonic. It minimizes redistribution of contamination in your well or borehole and also prevents it from collapsing. Carlyle Drilling says the method is safe, clean and also saves you any other additional project resources. An outstanding feature of this technique for bore drillers is that it provides continuous and undisturbed core samples as the activity is ongoing.
Air rotary
This technique involves injecting high-air-flow through the drill string. It plays a big role in cooling the bit, getting rid of any rock cutting and also stabilizes the borehole string. It is the most efficient technique, especially in rocky areas, that achieves the desired depth. Bore drillers will discover that this method of drilling prevents borehole from collapsing and also stops the water from contamination during drilling.
Hollow stem auger
This method involves the insertion of the pilot bit through the cutter head to drill the centre of a normal hole. Well, it is an effective method because it allows for split spoon sampling and other types of sampling. It prevents water contamination from the top of the borehole through the insertion of monitoring screens and casings. It is cost effective, depending on the applied design as well as the specific geological formation.
Mud rotary
Mud rotary drilling is the best method applied for advancing deep boreholes, especially in unconsolidated formations. It prevents any damages likely to occur in productive water zones. Additionally, it allows you to obtain interpretable electric well logs and stops the drill pipe from corroding. This technique is widely available for bore drillers, and the end product is clean and non-muddy water.
Direct push
Also known as a geo probe, a direct push is a type of technology that collectively comprises of several types of drilling rigs. It requires you to press and hammer the drill string without rotating it. It is suitable for less intrusive activities because its main role is to collect vast amounts of soil and underground water. Also, the direct push is widely used to inject remediation chemicals into groundwater.
Save money and time by using the above drilling techniques.
Hiring a Marketing Agency? Here's What You Need to Look out For
One of the most important elements of any business is marketing. Outreach needs and branding change at a rapid pace. Ensuring that you're up to speed is a key to staying ahead of your competitors. While you can argue that you have an in-house marketing department, they may not have the bandwidth to get all the work done.
Outsourcing this to a marketing agency is a great place to start. However, not every marketing agency out there is able to get your business to the next level. Here are some pointers to help you find a reliable marketing agency.
What does the marketing agency know about your business?
According to made4media.tv, one of the most pertinent questions asked for potential marketing agency is what they know about the company. Find out what they know about your company, what your brand voice is like, how many visitors you get on your site, and so on. An articulate firm should be able to present all these in a professional manner and even explain details you never knew.
Are they knowledgeable in your niche?
While it's highly recommended to hire an agency that is knowledgeable about your industry, you should be open to hearing what other firms have to offer. Some firms may specialize in your industry, but they may end up rehashing industry basics. A different firm may be innovative and come up with great ideas to push your business forward.
Will they add value?
A marketing agency that is up to the task is able to intelligently present their answers including pointing out their flaws and the value they'll bring to the table.
What are their numbers?
In the past, accolades and awards signified an agency's value. Nevertheless, currently, you need to focus more on the numbers and metrics. Further, they should be able to analyze and interpret any data presented.
After getting all these questions answered, you need to know what their billing structure is like. Ask for references. Bearing all this in mind, you'll be able to find a marketing agency that provides value and brings results.
Not Satisfied with Your Porsche Wheels? Go Fuchs Felgen Then
Most Porsche owners are happy with how their ride looks and works, but after some time, many of them get tired of the same old wheels they have fitted on their cars. Fortunately, with the availability of materials designed for modifications and improvements, you can get even more out of your luxury sports car.
When you replace your factory wheels with the high-grade alloy Porsche Fuchs Felgen, you will soon have a ride that everyone will envy.
Greater performance
With high-performance wheels fitted on your Porsche, expect its overall performance to go up, Fuchsfelge USA says. This means greater mileage, a more fuel-efficient ride, and even the production of more horses.
Stronger brakes
Safety is another area that Fuchs wheels specialize in. They help make your brakes stronger while also enhancing their capacity. They also help minimize over acceleration incidents. In addition, you can expect more fluid turns and cornering.
Safer operation
Fuchs wheels have garnered a huge following, thanks to their characteristics and features that make them great for any kind of weather and road condition. So whether you have to drive during rainy days or pass through uneven, bumpy roads, you can rest assure that you will still enjoy your drive – in a safe manner.
More handsome looking Porsche
Porsche cars already boast of aesthetics that can impress and even make one take a second look. With high-quality aftermarket wheels, such as Fuchs products, you can turn your ride into an even more handsome looking machine.
Always remember that many aftermarket vehicle parts can turn your ride into a more attention-grabbing one, but not all provide the same kind of benefits as Fuchs does. So rather than settling for add-ons that just increase aesthetics and appeal, go for wheels that will turn your Porsche into something not only more interesting, but also safer, easier, and more enjoyable to operate.
It's Game Time! What It Feels Like to Watch an Athletic Event Live
To any hardcore sports fan, regardless of whatever athletic league it is, nothing is more satisfying than see you favourite team perform their best move live. Though there are now a lot of viewing options to choose from, watching the game in person is still the best way to enjoy it. There are other reasons why it is a good idea to watch sports event live. Here are some of them.
Motivates You to Move
Seeing those powerful tackle and defence of your team can certainly encourage you to be involved in any sports or just be active. Aside from the sense of excitement it gives off, it provides a good motivation to you that anyone can be athletic.
Deeper Understanding to Sports
Though you can memorise every single sports term by the book, these calls and signals are still best learned when you see them in action. In any sports event, simple actions, such as waving and raising of hands denotes specific meaning. These precious moments are usually not shown in live telecasts, so the perfect way to study them is seeing these gestures in person.
Perfect Recreational Activity
Be it an Australian Football League (AFL) game or a tennis event, watching a sports competition is certainly one good way to spend some time with your loved ones. It is said that families going on sports events tend to develop a tighter and closer bond. So, if you're thinking of ways to spend your next family bonding, how about you buy Dockers tickets from The Ticket Merchant for the whole gang?
Enhances Brain Function
Another benefit of watching sports events is, it promotes better thinking ability, as well as your communication skills. Along with that, just by mere watching a game can hugely improve your sense of observation and attentiveness.
The next time you think of a good activity to have a get-together with your friends or just to simply kill time, live viewing of your favourite sports event is certainly a good option! Go ahead and enjoy the game to your heart's content!
Here's What You Didn't Know Can Happen When You Lose a Staff
Employee retention is one of the hardest aspects faced by a lot of business owners, leaders, and managers. Losing employees comes with so many repercussions, with many of them directly costing your business a lot.
Whenever you lose an employee, your entire business suffers, due to the following reasons:
Reduced levels of productivity
Regardless of how small or big the tasks of your previous employee used to take responsibility for, you can expect productivity in the workplace to suffer. Since no one has to perform and complete these tasks, you surely will deal with downtime, which may mean missing deadlines. This can seriously impact the professionalism of your business, especially since clients pay you to get the job done on (or before) time.
More work for people who may not even be qualified for the job
The longer you wait to fill that vacant position, the more work you place in the hands of your existing employees. And while some of them may have the qualifications to take on these responsibilities, the added work you give them can put even more stress on them. They may no longer be able to focus on the things that you initially assigned them to do, which can then compromise the quality of work they deliver.
The worst thing that can happen is when you ask someone unqualified to fulfill these tasks in the hopes of trying to get them done and completed on time.
Loss of profits
Failure to hire the right person for a vacant position right away will ultimately lead to loss of profits, and even loss of more employees because of the added stress you have burdened them with.
While you may go about the traditional way of hiring people – doing all the steps on your own – know that the fastest way to get your operation back on track is through the help of a staffing firm in Salt Lake City. When an employee quits, you need to make sure you get the position filled as quickly as possible.
Choosing a Preschool: What to Consider
According to a report from the U.S. Department of Education, preschool contributes to a child's future academic success. The children who attend high-quality preschools are likely to develop better language, cognitive, and social skills compared to those who attend low-quality programs. Although the majority of schools offer a considerable amount of circle and finger-paint, they differ in some aspects. Here is an overview that can help you sort through the tons of preschools in your locale.
Your Child's Personality and Needs
It should be the prime factor that determines the type of preschool that you choose for your child. Each child is created in a unique way; hence, parents should find places that embrace their children's needs. For instance, if your child is shy, consider choosing a preschool where the teacher will spend ample time with the child. It means that the school should have a reasonable teacher-to-student ratio.
Most preschools are operated by private individuals. As such, they formulate their own policies and rules. When looking for a preschool, you ought to check whether the teachers hold early childhood education degrees. The ideal preschool is one whose teachers have expertise and experience in dealing with young children. Smart Kids Development Center also advises that you ensure the preschool properly accredited by the Salt Lake City government.
Program Schedule
Besides credentials, you should also look at the daily schedule to know what your child will be doing throughout the day. In most preschools, the mornings are spent on structured learning while the afternoons are dedicated to engaging activities like arts and crafts.
The benefit of taking your child to a preschool is that he is likely to be influenced by peers. For instance, he may refuse to touch fruit at home, but if every other kid is eating bananas, he might be coerced to try them. You should seek clarification regarding the provision of meals. Does the school offer lunch and snacks or should you pack those from your home?
Selecting a preschool is a significant milestone for both you and your child. Take your time to look for a reputable preschool and help your child get a head start on academic success.
Every Step Counts: Visit a Podiatrist Regularly
Many people spend a huge amount on maintaining their appearances, their faces in particular. On the contrary, they overlook the health condition of their feet. It's only when they feel pain in their toes, ankles, and heels that they start to notice their feet.
Should you have foot problems, one best option is to see a podiatrist or a foot specialist in Perth. You don't have to worry, as there are many who can help you with your foot disorders.
Here's why you should get some professional help:
You run regularly
Runners like you are prone to aches and pains. Apart from suggesting the best running shoes for you, a podiatrist can also recommend strategies to avoid potential foot problems.
You have persistent heel pain
The pain may be due to growth on the heel or inflamed tendon. If the pain prevents you from doing your regular activities, you have to see a podiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
You have a recurring ingrown toenail
An ingrown nail may cause infection. You have to see a podiatrist before your condition gets worse. He or she may remove a portion of your nail, and prescribe medicine for the infected area.
You suffer from diabetes
As a diabetic, you should have a regular foot exam by a podiatrist especially if you have an open sore. Doing so can prevent worse conditions and amputation.
You have trouble walking
If there is a pain when you walk and you suspect bone injury in your ankle, see a podiatrist right away. It could be a sprain or a strain, and only an expert can give you the right diagnosis and proper treatment. Also, the pain could be due to aging feet. As you age, your feet also change – the shape, skin, cushion, etc. It is best to have them checked by a podiatrist to avoid complications.
Your feet have travelled with you for miles. Pamper them the way you pamper your face. Why wait for serious problems before you see an expert?

Elvis Fluffernutter Cake
As soon as I saw this cake on Lynn's blog, I saved the recipe thinking I would make it for my stepdad at some point, as he is a big Elvis fan. Plus the cake sounded like something fun and a bit different (banana cake with chocolate chips sprinkled on top, peanut butter marshmallow filling, and peanut butter icing - all sprinkled with chopped peanut butter cups). Well when my stepdad's birthday came around, I asked him what kind of cake he wanted and he said cheesecake with some kind of sauce. Yea I could've made that for him but what about the fluffernutter cake?? I told him about it but he said no I want the cheesecake. But then I sent him the link to Lynn's post and he changed his mind.
I didn't really like this cake, which is odd for me because usually I can find something I like about most things I bake. Everyone else on the other hand, loved it. Really loved it. Some people said it's their favourite cake I've made - even my mom who is against chocolate chips in banana bread and never eats peanut butter cups.
You can see in this picture my typical "stick all the frosting on top!" tactic. I really don't intend to do this but somehow it always happens. Must work on that.
I've started to put the cakes together a day or so before we eat them but the resulting cakes are drier. I know for some cakes (or maybe all cakes?) people say that if you let it sit for a day it will taste better because the flavours meld, but I'm not really convinced.
Other cakes I've made:
Caramel Cake with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting
Carrot Coconut Cake with Cream Cheese White Chocolate Icing
Perfect Party Cake (Lemon, Raspberry, Coconut)
Elvis Fluffernutter Cake
From All Recipes then adapted by Foodaphilia and adapted again by Cookie Baker Lynn and by me
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup milk
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
2 mashed bananas, about 1 cup
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Chopped up peanut butter cups for sprinkling on top
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease the bottom of two 9-inch round cake pans. Fit the bottoms with rounds of parchment paper. Grease and flour the whole pan.
2. In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating just to combine. Stir in vanilla and mashed bananas.
4. Pour batter evenly between the two cake pans. Sprinkle the mini chips over the top of the batter. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
5. Let pans cool for 10 minutes on a rack. Carefully invert layers onto a plate, peel off the parchment paper, then carefully put back on the rack to finish cooling.
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, room temperature
1 cup of smooth peanut butter
4 cups of powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk
1 cup marshmallow fluff
With an electric mixer cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar a cup at a time.
Place 1/3 of the frosting into a separate bowl and fold in the marshmallow fluff until completely incorporated.
Frost the top of the first layer with the marshmallow frosting. Top with the second layer. Frost with the rest of the frosting and sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups over the top, pressing them into the frosting slightly.

Why so complicated? Just give people the option to *choose* between public or private SS programs. The same for schooling. If I send my children to a private school I wouldn't have to pay the tax and even get back what I already payed since I started working. That would make public schools compete against private schools. Andrei

boohooMAN CEO Samir Kamani on streetwear, consumer insights and a new collaboration
Mar 27, 2019 | By Volker Ketteniss
Mar 26, 2015
Amazon is understood to be in "ongoing talks" to buy luxury online retailer Net-a-Porter from Richemont, reports WWD.
Net-a-Porter could fetch a price of €2bn ($2.19bn) if sold although no deal has yet been confirmed. Amazon is known to be on the search for an online luxury business and continues its efforts to establish a credible fashion retail offer and presence in the industry.
In February, Amazon was announced as the presenting sponsor for the first edition of New York Fashion Week: Men's in July, with a focus on raising the profile of its fashion sites Amazon Fashion, East Dane and MyHabit.
The company this month expanded in China via a virtual store front on Alibaba-owned Tmall.com with a limited clothing offer, a move already made by fashion retailers including Inditex, Burberry and Asos.com.
Both Amazon and Richemont declined to comment on a potential deal although analysts believe Net-a-Porter sits uneasily among the French luxury group's portfolio of businesses, which includes Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Chloé and Dunhill.
Luca Solca, managing director at Exane BNP Paribas, said the luxury group could look to monetize the value of Net-a-Porter, and sell to a company interested in long-term online luxury retail, such as Amazon. "There is no obvious strategic fit [to Richemont's core business] in my mind," he said.
Another option could be to an initial public offering, which is viewed by analysts as a potentially "positive move" for Richemont.
Richemont completed its acquisition in Net-a-Porter in 2010 and has repeatedly denied reports that it intends to sell the UK-based business.

Ultimate Guide to Making a Successful Career Transition from the Military
Deciding what to do after a military career can be challenging. It can be daunting to navigate the corporate employment maze, while translating military career accomplishments into achievements that will resonate with a private-sector hiring manager can be equally difficult.
AOL Jobs recently talked to Diane Hudson Burns, owner of Career Marketing Techniques and a leading authority of resumes and career management strategies for transitioning military. Burns says, "after 20 years of military service, it can be challenging for serving members to make the switch to industry or federal employment -- it can also be a wonderful opportunity to begin a second career (as most retiring military are between 40 and 45, have a college degree and/or much specialized functional and leadership training, are well fit, and highly disciplined and organized). As a veteran, you have a wealth of skills, education, experience, and training to offer a new employer."
Here are her top tips to help make the transition easier:
Tip 1: Plan in advance of your retirement.
If you wait until the end of your service time to write a resume, make decisions about where to live, what type of job you want, and other critical decisions, you will be well behind the power curve. Rather, make the transition easier and prepare at least 24 months before your retirement date.
Start by deciding where to live, what type of job(s) you will be seeking, what salary range you will need to support yourself during your second career (remembering that you want to "Bank Your Retirement Pay and Live on Your New Salary™"), preparing a resume and other collateral job search documents that can be modified before retirement, creating accounts on major job boards, begin researching positions and companies of interest, creating a database of contacts for networking and developing a list of references.
You also need to make plans to attend your service branch's transition-assistant program.
Create a checklist of requirements and refer to the checklist often during the two years leading up to retirement.
Tip 2: Translate military experience, acronyms, jargon, and ranks.
One of the keys to making a successful transition from military is translating your "military speak" to "corporate/private sector speak." Employers and recruiters do not always understand military acronyms, jargon, ranks, and other military terminology. It is important to make the translations in the resumes, and also when networking and during the interview process.
Job Titles: For example, the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) (each branch has a different acronym for military job titles) 15T stands for Blackhawk mechanic. It is important to translate MOS/15T to Blackhawk mechanic or even helicopter mechanic or aviation specialist. Titles and offices laden with acronyms also need to be translated, for example: ODCSPER, should be spelled out: Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel.
Rank: Captain in the Army is a junior officer and captain in the Navy is a senior officer – it is important to translate the scope of leadership. An Army captain may be responsible for a couple hundred personnel, and a Navy captain my have oversight leadership responsibility for thousands of personnel engaged in global operations working at the strategic level. Army captain can be translated to supervisor or program manager and Navy captain can be translated to CEO or executive vice president.
Tip 3: Keep and build a list of accomplishments.
Maintain and update a list of accomplishments that can be incorporated into the military transition resumes and also to develop stories for the interview process. Use your performance evaluations, training and award justifications, and letters of recommendation to identify accomplishments. Your DD-214 will contain a list of awards and military training. This is an opportunity to brag: List accomplishments, special projects, and awards. Include results using quantifiable and qualify-able metrics, whenever possible.
Tip 4: Identify transferable skill sets.
If your military occupational specialty was 13B (cannon crewmember) with responsibility for "supervising, handling, transporting, accounting for, and distributing ammunition; as well as laying weapon for direction, conducting bore sighting and basic periodic tests; and supervising the operation, loading, and maintenance of the field artillery ammunition support vehicle" – you may need to identify additional transferable skill sets.
Use the O*net Military Crosswalk tool to help gather job description information. Then make a list of all of your duties – you may find that in the course of your duties you were responsible for hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of inventory including ammunition, scores of line items, a budget, and the training and performance of dozens of personnel.
All of these additional skill sets, if a regular part of your job, just may be transferable into a position in logistics or inventory management.
Tip 5: Leverage your veteran's preference when seeking federal employment.
The federal government allows veterans to apply veteran preference points to their federal application packages. Veterans can receive five or 10 points based on service time (during campaigns), disabilities, and other factors. If you are not sure of your preference points, take the test to determine your veteran preference at http://www.dol.gov/elaws/vets/vetpref/mservice.htm.
Tip 6: Create multiple resumes.
To apply for a job in 2011, you may need several types of resumes: a hard copy / presentation / formatted resume (about two pages) for use as a hard copy and as an upload attachment as a Word or PDF document; a text file resume with no enhancements (bold, underline, etc.) for use in online resume builders (either as a copy and paste into various menu-driven resume sections, or for copy and paste of the entire resume); a federally formatted resume for use with usajobs.opm.gov.
In addition, resumes will need to be modified for most job announcements -- ensuring that the resume focus is specific to the job posting.
Tip 7: Write collateral job search documents.
To accompany the resume you may need to also write various covering letters, each specific to the jobs you are applying to. It is important to write specific content within the covering letters that addresses the requirements of the jobs you are seeking.
You may also need a reference list, salary history page, development of a Linkedin.com profile for networking, and a portfolio. If you are applying for federal jobs, you may also need to write Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities essays – that may be used when you apply for the jobs, or required at a different stage in the application or interviewing process.
Tip 8: Practice for the interview.
As a service member, you may have never experienced an interview before. Planning and practice will help make the process more productive.
Begin by developing scripts for the standard and tough interview questions including your TMAY ("Tell me about yourself") response, and the "Why should I hire you?" response. Keep the responses professional, as opposed to personal, translate military speak to corporate speak, and identify what makes you unique to your competition.
Then, ask a friend or colleague to help you interview by conducting a mock interview. Make a list of potential interview questions based on your functional areas of expertise and have your mock interview helper ask you questions from the list.
Interviewing is a mix of knowledge and personality – so remember to be prepared, study the company and its culture, mission, and goals from the company's website and in the media; and smile.
You also need to be prepared for telephone screening interviews, in-person interviews with multiple interviewers, one-on-one interviews, and interviews during meals.
Tip 9: Dress for success.
First impressions are lasting impressions. Before you leave military service and begin the interview process, you need to acquire interview attire, which includes a dark blue or charcoal gray suit for men and dark blue, brown, or black skirt or pantsuit for women. Do not wear any military attire including shoes or ribbons during an interview within corporate America. At this point, you are "shedding" your military culture to some degree and making the transition from military. You are letting the new employer know that you will offer them value through your expertise and you respect them, by dressing the part.
Tip 10: Enjoy your new job and plan for succession.
Once on the new job, continue to learn about the company's culture. Change your language daily by adopting the language of the new company. Ask for a mentor or ask for regular feedback from you new boss. Continue to keep a list of accomplishments to add to your performance ratings and also to keep your resume updated.
Make decisions for your second retirement – Will you remain where you are for 20 years? Will you retire at that location – or will you need to move to be near family or for other reasons? When can you comfortable retire financially?
Making the transition from military to corporate or federal can be easy and less intimidating with advanced planning, strong networking, and early preparation of resumes and for interviewing. As you move from job to job in the military, do not forget to keep a list of references – ask for their professional and personal e-mails, in case you lose contact. These people will become your networking core and serve as references during your job search – you do not want to lose contact.
Overall, be prepared, understand the process of making the transition to corporate/private sector employment, ask questions, and enjoy your new job, as you step into your "encore career."

Antarctica - Summer at the South Pole! - Cooperative board game
Sunny Games
Ages 10 and up
2-5 Players
Go For Broke
MB Games
2-4 Players
Last year various members of my extended family gathered around a coffee table to collaborate on a board game, in which players must work together to save penguins and seals from hunters and the tangible effects of global warming. These good intentions culminated in an incident in which my nephew, Jack, made a miscalculation that resulted in either the death, or at very least, the serious inconvenience of an innocent penguin. Jack is a sensitive young man and was mortified by the thought that, through his hasty, ill-judged actions, he had caused harm to an animal and let down the rest of the team.
"It's not a real penguin, Jack," I assured him, from the comfort of an armchair which offered me a commanding view over a portion of the North Yorkshire Dales. (I refuse, on a matter of general principle, to participate in board games that do not allow me the satisfaction of either crushing, or being crushed by, my opponents).
Jack could not be consoled so easily: A fictional penguin had suffered and its imaginary blood was all over his tiny ten-year-old hands. In the absence of a competitive element to the game that would have produced a clear winner and a pool of losers plotting some dastardly real-world revenge, his fatal misstep had given rise to a deep sense of shame that isolated him from his fellow eco-warriors and their minor victory.
Overlooking this potentially emotionally-scarring episode and its long-term psychological repercussions, Antarctica - Summer at the South Pole! does at least attempt to convey a positive, educational message about the importance of teamwork and the need to live in balance with our environment.
In comparison Go for Broke's contrarian philosophy can be summed-up as: "We're all going to fucking die, so fuck everything."
The ability to fecklessly splurge cash and the compulsion to gamble at every given opportunity, are vices that players must wholeheartedly embrace if they are to triumph in this truly reprehensible game, whose values are embodied by an archaic cartoon on the box, depicting a man dressed in a top hat and tails, gaily scattering paper money from a satchel.
The object of Go For Broke is to lose a million of the game's worthless currency. Each flimsy, large-denomination bill is labelled as a 'specimen' in several different languages, so as to minimise the possibility that somebody might mistake it for actual money and accept it in exchange for a lobster dinner or a Ferrari.
No explanation is given as to why the players would willingly choose to charge headlong towards a life of penury by forfeiting such a huge slab of money: Is the game a re-enactment of a boorish stunt by members of the Bullingdon Club? A money laundering scheme? Some last ditch attempt to claw back good karma? It is never made clear.
Nor is any light shed on what the winner gains from bankrupting themselves. On the face of it, the losing players, who retain at least a portion of their fortune, seem better off.
My assumption that I would easily win the game by investing the entire sum in an ill-conceived government I.T. project was soon dispelled by a cursory glance at the instructions, which are printed on the inside of the box, and offer a formulaic range of options when it comes to divesting yourself from your bothersome savings. These are based mainly on bad luck, rather than bad judgement. As such, Go for Broke allows only limited opportunities for smug political satire or social commentary.
As if to raise the game's inherent cuntishness to near-intolerable levels, players are represented on the board by miniature champagne bottles with removable plastic corks. Like Monopoly these game pieces are locked into an erratic clockwise orbit around the fringes of the board, where the only variety comes from occasional detours to the racetrack, the casino, the stock market and a sleazy back-room dice game.
A raised plastic dais, in the centre of the board, houses the cogs and wheels of Go For Broke's crooked financial system: a roulette wheel, three hexagonal tumblers representing a slot machine, a wheel that determines the outcome of horse races and a spindle that simulates the ups and downs of the stock market. I have successfully used the latter to predict rises and falls in real world shares and am now a billionaire who engages in white collar crime by day, and fights blue-collar street crime at night.
It is possible that both the skill-set and the lassiez-faire attitude towards the economy were learned by the architects of our current financial crisis from childhood games of Go For Broke. Rigorous scientific studies are needed to determine whether there is a correlation between prolonged exposure to the game, and being one of the hand-picked arseholes who appear on The Apprentice each year.
In summary: Antartica: Summer at the South Pole! preaches to the converted, who will enjoy the game's emphasis on cooperative play and its morally wholesome message. Everybody else will be reminded of the Modern Parents comic strip from Viz.
Go for Broke ably predicts, and then gleefully celebrates, our fuck-witted descent along the slippery slope towards personal debt and national bankruptcy. It is a bleak message – one that is hard to swallow, which is why I recommend that every roll of the dice should be accompanied by a hearty swig of gin. None-the-less I applaud MB Games for their staunch commitment to realism. More please.

Crimson Blade: https://goo.gl/5bbBfV
Chapter 1 – Violet Star (The Karma Chronicles 1) By J. Oliver Madison PDF
Chapter 1 – Sapphire Moon (The Karma Chronicles 2) By J. Oliver Madison PDF
Chapter 1 – Crimson Blade (The Karma Chronicles 3) By J. Oliver Madison PDF
The long awaited series finale of The Karma Chronicles is finally here! Crimson Blade is now released!
The Karma Chronicles
The secret lives of ninjas in our modern world are coming to an end. War between the remaining shinobi families is inevitable…
During her summer vacation before her senior year of high school, Carmella and her friends take on their biggest challenge yet—preventing her beloved's family, the Crimson Blade Clan, from engaging in a blood-battle with the equally merciless clan, the Sapphire Moon. She'll need to leave the urban streets of Blyton behind to journey overseas to Japan—the birthplace of ninjutsu, for her final stand. With friends and loved ones on each side of the battlefield, regardless of who wins, everyone loses.
To make matters worse, the genetically cloned and enhanced heir of Carmella's family lurks in the shadows, manipulating the tension. Dharma may look like an innocent high school girl on the outside, but she and her deadly league of rogue ninjas will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Carmella will need to pull out every ounce of strength, weapon, and ninjutsu, to put an end to this threat once and for all. She'll have to suit up and become Karma, one final time…
With a war brewing between rivaling ninja clans, Karma will have to sacrifice her summer vacation and travel to Japan to end the bloodshed. But within the shadows, a secret society of rogue ninjas have a different plan to stop her.
I'm excited to announce that my third and final installment of Karma Chronicles, Crimson Blade, is now complete. It's currently undergoing some last-minute edits and changes, but is set to be released on Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com on February 28th of this year!
I'm really proud of how this last book has turned out. Be sure to check out Violet Star and Sapphire Moon, if you want to get caught up on all the action.
Stay tuned for updates!
Peace, Ninjas!
Let me just tell you, I have an amazing girlfriend! She's quite the catch! For my 28th birthday, she decided to take me out to Seattle, Washington to celebrate. I can't thank her enough for the experience. It was an incredible vacation and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather celebrate it with. You can check out some of are journey below, Ninjas!
Had a great time at the Odysea Aquarium in Scottsdale, AZ. The adventure was a triple-threat. As an animal lover, it was awesome to check out the crocs, sharks, stingrays, and my personal favorite, the pufferfish in their underwater homes.
Reminds me of a certain snarky chameleon from a book I released not too long ago. Hmmm, I'll just call this little guy GUS for now…
After that, was the Scottsdale Butterfly Wonderland. I used to catch butterflies all the time as a kid.
Now, I had a chance to fully immerse myself in their flower and tree-filled paradise. Gotta love lush local gardens!
I think they like me. I picked up a couple of hitch hikers…
Finally, Celeste and I wrapped up the day with the Laser Maze challenge. You heard that right!
Think of the first Mission Impossible movie when Tom Cruise ducks, dodges, and dives through countless red laser beams without touching a single one.
All of this and more was at Odysea in Scottsdale, Arizona—just about 20 minutes from Phoenix. It was a lot of fun and I definitely recommend it to everyone. I'll be back soon to beat the high score at the laser maze and see how my butterflies and fish buds are doing.
Peace Ninjas!
Hey Ninjas! Just had to share this with you guys!
As some of my ninjas may know, I recently moved into a new house this year. It's the first house I've ever owned, and I must say, it couldn't feel more like home! I love all things nature and all things from the orient. So, if I'm not writing about Karma or her ninja buddies, or going to a Japanese festival, you better believe that I'm living the zen lifestyle right here at home! I just added my own peace garden right here in my atrium. For those that don't know what an atrium is, I just found out like two months ago, so don't feel bad. It's basically a small backyard. BUT in the middle of your house!!
Pretty sick, huh?
Even while I type out this post, I get to glance out my peaceful atrium. It's a real slice of the forest–complete with lush green foliage, black polished rocks, and a calming stone fountain. Some of the plants in it are Japanese too!
It really helps put me in my collected state of mind and allows me to focus more on my stories since it's right beside my office.
Well, just thought I'd share! Back to writing! Crimson Blade isn't going to write itself! 😛
What do you look towards for peace and inspiration? Let me know!
Proud to announce the release of my newest book, The Ruse of Minxy a Siamese Cat! 😀
I had a ton of fun with this one! Unlike my usual works, The Ruse of Minxy the Siamese Cat: A Rhyming Tale of Deception, was written for younger readers—I'd say around 2nd or 3rd graders. And just as the subtitle implies, the colorful and fully illustrated story of talking house pets tells Minxy's tale of revenge and deception entirely in rhyme.
A major shout out to Colton Starley! He's the talented illustrator of this book and it's been a pleasure working with him on this project. 😃
The Ruse of Minxy the Siamese Cat can be found on Amazon.com at the link below:
Definitely check it out if you have kids! (Or if you're a kid at heart!)
On a side note, stay tuned for the series finally, and dramatic conclusion, to my ninja-novel-teen-trilogy, The Karma Chronicles: Crimson Blade, later this year!
Be sure to catch up on the previous books, Violet Star and Sapphire Moon, on the links below!

A Catholic Answers apologist and author, Devin converted from atheism to Protestantism in 2000. He then became convinced of the Catholic Faith and entered full communion with the Church.

Alcohol is Haram in Islam and Science Claimed It
Islam, which is considered the most perfect in the world of religion, and places some restrictions on his followers and believers. In Islam, it has been dubbed the name of alcohol is forbidden and against the concept of belief and religion altogether. However, for many, religion stop the work is often questioned, but when science suggests them to refrain from the act, they turn to the faithful.
Alcohol found the world's English-language name from the Arabic word Al Cole. Al Cole means drink made from fermented grains, fruits or other ingredients. This intoxicating beverages, in the Koran, has been named "Khumar", which means poisoning, because when a person is under the influence, they are diametrically opposed to what it is when sober.
The Harmful Effects of Alcohol According to Science, NOT Islam
Where knowledge of alcohol as a depressant that works on the nervous system, resulting in a stimulating effect on the brain, which gradually works its way into the body. By fermenting sugar and yeast, the main component of the alcohol is ethyl alcohol, which produce different effects through a number of different factors.
According Healthline's, "even a small amount of alcohol has an effect on your body. When you drink, absorbs alcohol into the bloodstream and distributed throughout the body. There is a small amount of alcohol the body exits in urine and breath. I was the absorption of alcohol more slowly if you eat, especially if the food it was high in fat. However, if you drink more than your body can handle, you will get drunk. How quickly the alcohol is metabolized depends on the size and gender, among other things. alcohol consumption causes physical and emotional changes that can to cause great harm to your body. long-term effects of alcohol abuse are many, and put your health at serious risk of exposing your life.
Excretory system is responsible for processing and removal of waste products such as alcohol from the body. As part of this process, the pancreas secretes digestive enzymes which combine with bile from the gallbladder to help digest food. It helps the pancreas to regulate insulin and glucose. Alcohol can wreak havoc on the digestive tract, from the mouth all the way to the colon. Even one occurrence of heavy drinking can infect parts of the digestive tract.
In some cases, a single episode of heavy drinking can cause a problem for your heart. It's even more likely to suffer heart if you are a chronic drinker. Women who drink at the top of the heart more than the risk of damage to men. Erectile dysfunction is a common form of alcohol abuse among men of side effects. It can also inhibit the production of the hormone affect testicular function, and cause infertility. "
Islam forbids alcohol for a number of reasons other than science
Narrated by the famous companion Jaber incident, recorded in the collections of Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah:
One day, as he came out of his mosque, the Prophet Muhammad, God has sent praise of God be upon him, he noticed his cousin and son-in-law, Ali b. Abi Talib, clearly upset. When the Prophet asked, worried about what worried him, Ali simply pointed to the bloody carcass him dearly cherished camel – not the normal camel, but the camel survived the war I had to mount in the valiant defense that his Prophet and Islam on the battlefield. Ali said that the Prophet One of his uncles was responsible for the killings is unacceptable for an animal to him, and so the Prophet went to check him (ie Uncle) side of the story.
Entry in the presence of his uncle, the Prophet found him drunk with alcohol. Upon seeing the resentment in the face of his nephew, he knew his uncle at one time, in spite of his intoxication, that the Prophet had come to question him about the monster on the war. With something good to say to defend himself, blurted's, drunken uncle suffering from guilt to his nephew: "You and your father Ebadi!" The only response was the prophet of boom insult to exclaim: "Really, alcohol is the mother of all evil!"
The first revelation to the alcohol ban in Makkah has revealed, before Hijrat and the rest at a later date:
"It is the fruit of the palm as you vine out health and nutritional drink: Behold, this is also a sign for those wise" (16:67) – "and they ask you about alcohol and gambling, he says:" In them is great sin, and some profit, for men. But the sin is greater than the profit … "(2: 219) -" O ye who believe! Approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until you spend can understand everything you say … "(4:43) –
"… The devil just wants to cast among you enmity and hatred in schnapps and games of chance and to turn you from remembrance of Allah and from prayer. Will then stop" (5: 90-91).
In short, it can be seen easily that Islam forbids alcohol centuries ago the concept of science or medical judgment Detailed came up. There are many reasons why Islam is perfect, and one of them is how to bend science prophecies and rules set by God Almighty and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

For some reason I was a bit resistant to the idea of jelly rolls, and didn't succumb to their temptation until a few months ago, when Keryn and I bought three or four in rapid succession. Then mine sat on the shelf while I pondered what pattern to use and they became more and more precious and unable to be touched. I discovered I was making 'rules' in my mind about what I could and couldn't do- I must use ALL the strips in one quilt, I musn't add any other fabric that wasn't the same range, the pattern had to showcase all the strips, dark-light-medium and I would have to buy yardage from the same range if I wanted a border.
Needless to say I started to get a bit miffed with all these restrictions and all the patterns I found that could use the entire jelly roll seemed too simplistic or there weren't enough lights for the backgrounds of the blocks or some darned thing.
I realised that it was likely the jellyrolls would sit on the shelf, forever precious, untouchable and covered in dust if I didn't change my attitude towards them. So I examined how I like to sew my projects and decided I don't like to work within a single pattern range, I like to add material as the top develops and speaks to me, and I like to use unexpected fabric combinations and colours that don't necessarily 'go'.
With that in mind, and ignoring the 'rules' I went looking through my photo file of antique quilts and found this beauty. I added a cream fabric for the background triangles, and the rest of the block could be cut fron the 2 1/2" strips. So far so good, I had a pattern I liked and was finally ready to start sewing.
Then I found another thing that didn't suit my way of working... the measurements of the strips. Where do you regard the edge to be? From the points on one side of the strip to the points on the other was much more than 2 1/2". How do you sew an accurate 1/4" seam when you can't use the edge as a guide? What about sewing a straight cut edge to the pinked edge- which edge do you line up? Grrr, this is definitely not how I like to sew.
By trial and error I found I had to leave a little of the points showing as I lined the pieces up, but this really goes against the grain. I've worked on my piecing skills for decades, and now I had to fudge and disregard my own working methods. I'm not happy with this level of inaccuracy at all.
But I'm making the blocks and they are turning out nice and the fabric combinations are giving me a lot of happiness.(The range is Garden Party by Blackbird Designs and I truly love all the fabrics and the lovely colours)I'm finally enjoying sewing these, but I don't think I'll become a jellyroll convert.I know everyone else just loves pre-cuts and I'll probably get told there are lots of lovely pattern books out there for jellyrolls and I'm the odd one out... but I really think I'm happier playing with all my scraps and strips and making my own decisions about everything. At least I can say I've tried them now, and I'll know not to buy any more!

kudos to you for daring to go outside your comfort zone. my own challenge is applique. i love to look at it and think about doing it, (and probably will someday)but like you i'm hesitant to dive in.
- Vicki W, July 29, 2010
I have never been able to figure out why they cut the JRs with that pinked edge. It's the primary reason I won't buy them. Besides, fat quarters are so much more versatile!
- Anonymous, July 29, 2010
I'm with you on jelly rolls - cute idea, but not for me. Your blocks are looking good! I love your antique inspiration piece.

- sewprimitive karen, July 30, 2010
That is exactly why I do not get the pre-cuts. They are not accurate enough and I can't stand the varying pinked edges.
- Laura, July 30, 2010
The pinked edges and the lack of value variety in many fabric lines are the main reasons that I generally don't buy pre-cuts, but I have been enamored with Layer Cakes lately. I have bought way more of those than I should have in recent months, but also bought coordinating yardage for most of them, so I at least have enough fabric for a decent size quilt, even after cutting off those darn edges!
Like you, I'm happiest when I'm playing with my scraps and strips and worrying only about whether a fabric looks ok with the one next to it.
- Jan, July 30, 2010
I've yet to experiment with the jelly rolls. They seem like a merchandising ploy to me - which they are! I do however have a layer cake that has been maturing on my shelves for a couple of years now! Love your blocks, as I always do anything that you make!
- Tazzie, July 30, 2010
Hey there Mereth
I'm with you, I'm not crazy about jelly rolls - I have three of them, and I'm leery of using them. Firstly because of the accuracy issue with the pinked edges, and secondly (like you) I and hunting for the perfect pattern, and I don't think it's out there yet! I love what you've made, perhaps I too need to free myself from my notions about what to do with these little rolls of fabric.
Be sure to have a great weekend.
- Kathi, July 30, 2010
I completely agree about the pre-cuts- how can you piece accurately with inaccurately cut fabric? Then there are usually several pieces that you can't use at all, or that look so much like the other 6 in slightly different colorways. Lovely marketing ploy, but not for me, thanks.
Making a whole quilt from one coordinated line of fabric is just a bit toooo coordinated. (imho)
Interesting border on the antique that inspired you.
- ssauser, July 30, 2010
It sounds like you aren't alone after all. I don't like jelly rolls because of the pinked edges either. Originally, they made them with straight edges, but they frayed too much, so they started pinking them. If I ever had a jelly roll, I think I would cut off the pinked edges before starting to piece. Your blocks are beautiful.
- floribunda... aka Julie, July 31, 2010
I think the pinked edges would be hard to work with -- but I'll mention that when I bought a "bali-pop", which comes with straight edges, I found that they had done a terrible job of cutting accurate 2.5" strips! They're very inconsistent and some parts are as much as 1/4" off. Luckily I'm making blocks that will adapt to a little trimming at the end.
- Nines, August 02, 2010
But at least your end result is going to be so lovely! As usual.
- Lori, August 06, 2010
my jelly rolls are laying there, I will have to use them like you did! The baby picture--it makes them "real" before they're born.
- Meggie, August 06, 2010
The fabrics look yummy! I know what you mean about the pinked edges... how irritating!
- julieQ, August 13, 2010
Hmm, I know just what you mean about the pinked edges...when I cut them off, I lose some of the fabric. I guess they do it so the pieces won't ravel? Love your blocks!
- Isobel, August 16, 2010
I guess I have been lucky in that all the jelly rolls I have purchased were not cut with pinking shears...no little points to contend with. Sorry your experience was so unhappy. I have never had any problem with the pieces unraveling. If I see a jelly roll with pinked edges I will be sure to leave it in the store.
- Finn, August 21, 2010
So glad to hear I'm NOT the only one who ISN'T on board with the jelly roll craze. I've received a couple as gifts, and having used them, have NO desire to buy one on purpose. You definitely aren't an army of one, give me my scraps anyday! Great job on using up stash, you inspire me! Hugs, Finn
- Anonymous, August 28, 2010
I'm not fond of the pre-cuts either -- although occasionally I will give in and buy one -- but then they sit there.

Autorun / Autoplay Creation
Do you want your DVDs to automatically launch the moment your customers place them in their DVD drives? Would you especially appreciate it if the particular DVD brings up a fancy, well-designed menu that conveniently lays out all available options? Believe it or not, but such autorun / autoplay DVD capabilities can be had by you via our autorun / autoplay DVD creation service for an affordable, budget-friendly rate.
What Is An Autorun DVD?
An autorun DVD is simply one that automatically starts a program the moment the DVD tray closes. It's a terrific feature for customers who aren't the most computer savvy. You would be amazed at how many people close the DVD tray and then stare at their screen, waiting for something to happen. The last thing you want to do is disappoint this customer.
An autoplay DVD contains certain configuration files that are immediately triggered the moment the try closes. The beauty about this autorun / autoplay feature is that it can be used to start running a bevy of files.
- You can autorun a webpage.
- You can autorun a Flash animation.
- You can autorun a PowerPoint presentation.
- You can autorun a full-fledged video file.
- You can autorun basically anything.
We recommend setting up an autorun menu. It serves like a 'home page' for your DVD.
Do I Really Need This?
We highly recommend going with an autoplay DVD. Like we mentioned earlier, many consumers are not as computer savvy as we would like to think. It thus bodes best for you to prepare for this by setting up your DVD in a way that's simple and intuitive. It makes certain that none of your customers (even the ones who do happen to be savvy) get confused just trying to get your DVD to work.
