Hearing rumors that Burger King had introduced a new avocado & Swiss Whopper, as well as molten fudge desserts, tater tots with the cheese baked into them and tempura-ish battered chicken nuggets, I decided to forgive that whole bacon sundae debacle and visit the Burger King kingdom at 3200 Downing Street.
See also: -Burger King brings back the California Whopper -- and rolls out Cinnabon -Burger King's new summer menu is both sweet and sour -Burger King's new bacon sundae -- thievery for no good reason
As soon as I hit the counter, I ordered the new avocado & Swiss Whopper, both new desserts -- the molten fudge bites and the molten fudge bite sundae -- as well as an order of cheesy tots and a twenty-piece order of BK's new recipe chicken nuggets (what if the first nineteen nuggets don't give me the full flavor profile, right?). And since I also noticed that there was a buy-one-get-one deal with two new chicken sandwiches, the Italian and Philly, I did a little impulse buy and got both.
So far, so good. But then I asked for BK's signature Kung Pao nugget dipping sauce, and got shut down like a garage door. They didn't have even one little tub to give me. "It's not popular here," said the well-meaning cashier.
For those of you who have yet to try the deliciousness that is the Kung Pao sauce, it's a salty, tangy, gingery, spicy tub of dark brown goo that's a little bit Teriyaki -- and a little bit rock and roll. It's the best sauce for nugget dipping I've tried -- it even edges out McDonald's sweet chili sauce. Instead, I settled for the jalapeno barbeque.
While I was waiting for my order, I parked at a table in the middle of the almost empty dining room and fiddled with my phone until I looked up and saw a complete stranger sitting down right next to me -- really, really close to me, and he was really, really drunk.
"Who the f*ck are you, and what are doing?" I asked him, impolitely.
"Marhashup, dinglebrahmo-wedoopapanoo," he replied.
"Outta here, dude--personal space; check into it," I told him as I got up to move away.
"Okay, you can't be hassling my customers!" my new favorite BK cashier hollered as she kicked him out the door. The Downing store: It's just like being at the Colfax store, without the couple extra miles.
I thanked my hero cashier and picked up my food. The desserts got my attention first: I guessed that BK had christened them "molten fudge" bites because somebody somewhere must have trademarked "chocolate lava," but that's pretty much what they were. These balls were heavy with crisp outsides dusted with powdered sugar and hot, melty chocolate middles -- there were like enchanting little brownie balls with the warm icing on the insides. The bites were yummy, and the sundae was BK's regular, thankfully non-baconed, vanilla/hot fudge/caramel confection with two molten fudge bites stuck to the top of it -- but the lack of creativity didn't make this sundae any less delicious.
I suspected that the new avocado & Swiss garnished Whopper would probably be a regular Whopper smeared with an inadequate amount of institutional-tasting guacamole; an overly-adequate amount of mayo; a scraggly half-leaf of iceberg lettuce (ew); a single under-ripe tomato slice; some cold, chewy bacon; and a slice of rubbery, not-really-melted processed white cheese.
I was correct.
But those cheesy tots were everything I wanted and more. They were small, fried potato tots with cheese on the insides, and they needed no ketchup to enjoy. And enjoy them I did.
Then came the darkest moment of my meal: unwrapping the Italian chicken sandwich. It was a mess of preformed breaded chicken patty with a timid smear of insipid, watery tomato sauce, and more of that nasty white cheese on a bun. And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, it did. I unwrapped the Philly chicken sandwich and found the same setup as with the Italian, but substitute unmelted processed yellow cheese, a smudge of nacho cheese sauce that looked like snot, and a tablespoon or so of some wilted, minced red and green bell peppers (ew) and onions.
I licked both of them a little, on the edges, but could not bring myself to take even two nibbles.
Thankfully, the new chicken nuggets were not just great, but really f*cking great! The magical test-kitchen elves got the breading right -- light, crisp, well-seasoned, not too salty. I would venture to say that these new and improved nuggets are pretty close to being as addictively good as McDonald's nuggs, and the missing Kung Pao sauce would have put them over the top.
My kingdom for a single tub of BK Kung Pao dipping sauce!
To make sure, I packed up the nuggets, tossed the chicken sammies into the trash -- I hope they didn't melt the trash bag -- and drove to the Burger King at 1680 East Colfax Avenue to get that sauce.
I went through the drive-thru and explained to the puzzled cashier that I just wanted some Kung Pao sauce. I held up my crinkled BK bag, told him the other store was out, and he laughed his ass off at me. But he brought me a single tub of Kung Pao sauce.
The first nugget meeting this sauce was epic. And so was the last one. My evening with Burger King was over, but the memory of cheesy tots, fudgy bites and the impressive new nuggets with that Kung Pao sauce remained.

Dr. Alexander Bolz graduated in economics at Leibniz Universität Hanover. Subsequently, he earned his doctorate in the field of "success of young technology companies in the development process".
Even back then he advised small and medium-sized companies on self-employment restructuring. He could benefit from this experience during his cooperation project with a regional business development company in Hanover while supporting founders to develop and implement their business concepts.
In 2008, Alexander started as a project manager in an international M&A boutique. Both, on the buy and sell side, he led various national and international transactions over the following years. He focused primarily on the mechanical and plant engineering industry as well as on the automotive supplier industry. During that time, he established a broad network of entrepreneurs, managing directors, private equity companies and family offices.
Naturally, when he started in 2012 to work in the headhunting business in Munich, he was led to the reverse side of this target group. After a short time, Alexander took over responsibility for the national and international finance sector with his former employer - one of the top 5 HR consultancies in Germany. Since then, private equity and venture capital companies have been a part of his clientele as well as family offices and corporate M&A departments.
Since June 2015 Alexander has been working as a partner at SELECTEAM. He continues to focus on executive search for private equity and family offices including the portfolio companies.
Alexander has released several publications and regularly lectures at respective events.

Based on his industry and leadership experience, Uwe Thiel came across with the main pain points of the companies in the past.
His point of view is that new employees have a special motivation to fast integrate in new organizations, if the balance between the request of the employer and the new employee is at best coverage.

The purpose of this case study was to examine the sociomusical dimensions of high school orchestra culture. There were three main areas that were investigated: the sociomusical nature of the orchestra, social stratification within the orchestra, and alignment of perceptions between the director and students. Of particular interest were participants' perceptions of the school orchestra, what it means for them socially to be part of the orchestra, and the nature of social groups within the orchestra. The seven student participants were all of junior or senior class standing and ranged in age from 16 to 18 years old. The director had taught for 35 years. The study took place in a large suburban public high school in South Florida. Data were gathered through interviews, extensive field work, and miscellaneous artifacts. Through individual interviews, participants in the study shared their perceptions of the sociomusical aspect of the orchestra. A thematic analysis of the interviews revealed several emergent themes including 1) meaning and value, 2) collective identity, 3) socialization and social stratification, and 4) leadership. Results of the study suggest that high school orchestra is an important social space for many adolescents, and that this opportunity to socialize with their peers through music-making is highly valued by them. Participants indicated that, unlike their school band, many different types of students played in the orchestra including baseball players, "math nerds", cheerleaders, and students involved in student council. This diversity, in part, was thought by the participants to contribute to the orchestra's lack of a cohesive identity throughout the larger school community. Implications and suggestions for orchestra directors to embrace and foster a positive social atmosphere within their ensembles are offered.

West Vancouver Retaining Wall Contractors
BUR-HAN Garden & Lawn Care is now pleased to be able to offer
West Vancouver Retaining Wall Installations!
A well designed and installed retaining wall can add function and structure to your garden, often increasing the usable space (especially in sloped yards) by creating a foundation for your landscape.
One of the best and most effective solutions to protect your property from soil erosion from excess rain is by building a retaining wall. With the right choice of materials, we can create a stunning hardscape around your garden/lawn that is both visually stunning as well as functional.
Whether your retaining wall needs require an engineer or not, our certified installers are familiar with the requirements of a variety of retaining wall materials for varying wall heights and install to a standard that exceeds most in the industry.
Types of Retaining Wall Materials We Offer in West Vancouver:
- Modular Block Retaining Walls – Comparable in price to poured in place concrete walls with many significant advantages. Modular Block walls now come in many sizes, shapes, textures, and colors to suit almost any outdoor decor. These concrete blocks systems are durable and flexible so do not crack like a poured in place concrete wall as well, they are repairable. The manufactured concrete blocks enable the installation to be precise and to specifications taking all guesswork out of the end product and ensuring a long-lasting product guaranteed not to fail.
- Natural Rock – Natural rock comes in a great variety of sizes and shapes. And can be very useful and aesthetic in informal settings while a formal wall can be created using rock specifically quarried for the purpose. Natural rock walls have the most significant variance in appearance and price, ranging from a rockery (loosely fitted rock on a slope) perhaps costing less than most alternatives to tightly fitted feature walls that can be among the most expensive. The biggest drawback of using rock is meeting expectations with the budget.
- Living Walls – There are different products on the market now that enable us to build an engineered wall using a "sandbag" method. The bags are filled with sand and organic soil so that the wall can be planted creating a much softer and natural appearing retaining wall. These retaining walls are often used in environmentally sensitive areas or where there is insufficient access.
- Timber Walls – Cost-effective alternative for the short term. Timber walls can generally be installed for less money than the other options; but over time, even pressure treated timbers will be subject to rot and decay. Often a popular choice for raised planters and vegetable gardens. Please note: when using timbers for vegetable gardens, it is best to avoid pressure treated products as they contain many toxins. Natural cedar or organic preservatives are a better choice.
If you have any additional questions or would like a free estimate for retaining walls in Vancouver please give our office a call today! (604) 706-1362

- To heal my HEART, that was my goal. I still didn't know what major trauma I had as a kid but I could sort of draw the contours of it by now. -
My LSD mission in Bogota was just too easy: the first person I talked to was to be the one going drug shopping for me! After a couple of days enjoying the urban vibes, I was looking forward to be back on my quest.
My heart is attacking me!
The last time on LSD, I used the same technique I always do to uncover my Beliefs: writing my thoughts.
I asked the question "Why do I Fear LOVE?" … but couldn't answer it, I was blocked somehow.
Hummm…well, let's go around and uncover what do I hold behind Love. So I asked "What do I think about LOVE?"
… and this is what I saw my pen scribbling down: "LOVE is bad"…
WOW, something is wrong here. What the Heck is that belief! I tried to answer why I thought that Love was bad but couldn't get on it, too struck by that discovery.
I went on to see Tupac. My energetic body was open (on LSD) so I did that one thing that triggers my energy to attack me: I CLOSED MY EYES!
When I close my eyes, it feels like putting down my guards and I get attacked. To the day of now, I cannot have visions eyes closed but it works very well eyes open!! – I now, I'm a WEIRDO!
He looked at my energetic field and told me: "It's your heart that is attacking you!"
Not a surprise really, since I am afraid of LOVE. But still, having your friend watching you and saying that YOUR OWN HEART IS ATTACKING YOU is somehow disturbing to say the least!
Quick Sum Up
- I am afraid of LOVE and I thinks it's BAD
- I am afraid of my MONSTER: one symbol for various Realities – the BAD ME, DEATH, ANGER & THE UNKNOWN
- I am afraid of DECEPTION
Healing Strategy
I could see two options to win my heart back:
- Encountering LOVE outside – Already attempted with rather DECEIVING results, so far.
- Confronting the Fear of my Monster.
Why N*2?
Since I think that LOVE = BAD and that I am afraid of the BAD ME = MY MONSTER, one don't need to be able to solve non linear equations to figure out that LOVE = MY MONSTER - By comfronting one's fear, you make it disapear since Fears only exist in the invisible.
I had now a new strategy and especially another story to tell. I mean seriously, I think my inner self is the craziest sickest joker I've ever met…
I was to be A MONSTER to be IN LOVE !!!!!
…By the way, Do you know the Beauty & the Beast ?!

What Is An Invertebrate? (2)
All living things are placed into teams relying on widespread traits. Many marine invertebrates are characterized by a selected sort of development e.g. both lecithotrophic or planktotrophic (see Jon Gienger's blog publish, Planktotrophy versus lecithotrophy ). Interestingly, Aeolidia papillosa veligers hatching from the same egg capsule will be polytypic: some released as yolk-laden lecithotrophic larvae, and others as yolk-free planktotrophic larvae (Williams, 1980).
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, who was appointed to the place of Curator of Insecta and Vermes on the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in 1793, both coined the term invertebrate" to explain such and divided the original two teams into 10, by splitting off Arachnida and Crustacea from the Linnean Insecta, and Mollusca, Annelida, Cirripedia, Radiata, Coelenterata and Infusoria from the Linnean Vermes.
The distinction is one in all convenience only; it isn't primarily based on any clear biologically homologous trait, any more than the frequent trait of getting wings functionally unites bugs, bats, and birds, or than not having wings unites tortoises , snails and sponges Being animals, invertebrates are heterotrophs, and require sustenance in the form of the consumption of different organisms.
Terrestrial invertebrates such as the North African desert ant, Cataglyphis fortis, can stand up to floor temperatures of more than 67°C. Worms and other invertebrates churn via soil that might become compacted and incapable of supporting life. Simultaneously make and fill a table on the board within the gentle of students' presentations to summarize the characteristics of various animals. Show footage similar to these to the scholars and ask them to jot down their distinguishing options on their notebooks.
The presence of intercourse pheromones has been evidenced in a number of invertebrate groups. The controversial discussion about animal welfare and pain recognition in invertebrates is ongoing; most changes have been initiated from the U.K. and different European international locations (Cooper, 2006). Invertebrates feed in some ways: some species eat dwelling vegetation or animals; others feed on useless and decaying organisms. Invertebrates are animals that have no backbones, whereas vertebrates are animals with backbones (see Chapter 22).

Most certificates of naturalization contain only the name of the individual, the name of the court, and the date of issue. Certificates were issued to naturalized citizens upon completion of all citizenship requirements. The Certificate of Naturalization includes name, address, birthplace or nationality, country from which they emigrated, birth date or age, personal description, marital status, name of spouse, age (or birth date) and address of spouse, information about children (including names, ages, and addresses), and date of document.
Certificate of Citizenship. This document granted the individual United States citizenship.
Oath of Allegiance. This document was used to renounce an immigrant's allegiance to a foreign country and declare his or her allegiance to the United States. The Oath of Allegiance includes the petitioner's signature and date of document.
Where to find immigration records. Begin by looking for naturalization records in the courts of the county or city where the immigrant lived. Look first for the petition (second papers), because they are usually easier to find in courts near where the immigrant eventually settled. After 1906, the declaration can be filed with the petition as the immigrant was required to submit a copy when he submitted the petition.

Application Development
Agile Project Management
A Different Kind of Consultant
On the surface, it is hard to differentiate one service provider from another. Sometimes we look the same on paper. It's hard to know where to start and what to look for in a technology consultant. We believe a consultant should do exactly that... consult. Our purpose is not just to be another warm body that fits a set of criteria on paper. Instead, we listen to you -- your challenges, your goals, your constraints -- and we help you construct solutions that make you happy.
So, what can you expect from working with us?
Service, Service, Service
We take your role as customer, and our role as service provider seriously. Our
"Why Us"
page explains our fundamental principles in serving customers like you. These guide any type of work we do for you, whether it be consulting, app development, or project management.
The Best Ideas
Sure, we have 20+ years of experience over a variety of industries, technologies, and organizations which helps us to bring you new perspectives, but building a solution together goes far beyond that! We don't have all the answers to your business problems, and we don't pretend to. We do have the know-how to work with others (you, your employees, your vendors, etc.) in a way that brings out the best ideas from each person on the team. The end result is a solution that has been forged out of the efforts of everyone involved, and a broad sense of satisfaction and ownership by the whole team. We are really good at this, and believe this trait, in particular, makes us unique.
The Best Solution
We think in terms of
blank-slate solution building
, and we encourage your team to do the same. This means that we try to remove all pre-conceived notions of technology and start with the business need first. This approach results in technology solutions that fit your business like a well-tailored suit -- not short on features and at the same time not over-engineered. We lend our technical expertise to help you succeed in the business in which you are an expert -- whether that means zero code is written, or millions of lines of code are written. We listen to you so that we can fully understand where your business and your technology is today, and where you want it to be tomorrow. Then, we work with you to determine the best solution -- whether that's building a custom application, buying an off-the-shelf package, or mix of both. Even if the solution involves no new technology at all -- maybe it's just helping you gain efficiencies in your business processes -- we can help you.
Working with us is all about your business first and foremost
Business Advantage
You already recognize the need to utilize technology in certain aspects of your business to make your work life more productive, reduce costs, increase revenue, and better serve your own customers. Whether you're looking to create efficiencies in your processes to reduce cost, or hoping to expand your reach to new opportunities… no matter what hill you need to climb, Calvary Logic's consultation gives you an advantage that you won't get with the average consulting firm. We give you an advantage over your competitors, and advantage over the common, daily challenges of doing business.
Take advantage! Call us today.

Hey, Ben here again let me ask you a quick question.
What's your set-and-forget strategy to generate traffic to your ShopiRater store for the rest of the year?
I mean, what's your go-to tactic that you know with 100% certainty will bring waves of target traffic to help grow your store?
And I'm not talking about some half-baked FB ads theory or that may bring in trickles of traffic...
Or build a big, responsive list like we have here:
See, having a full traffic gameplan is what's going to separate you from the stores that actually succeed with ShopiRater and those who just give up after a few weeks.
The truth is...
And all the worn out traffic tactics and softwares other so called 'gurus' keep pitching over and over just don't work anymore for the small 'mom & pop' online stores.
However, we're generating targeted buyer traffic leveraging all underground traffic strategies that don't require PPC, SEO, or social media the old way that go beyond just posting a lot content to your timeline .
- Churning out unique blog post after blog post or video after video to ' build an audience'
- Using SEO tactics that take forever or simply don' t work anymore
- Paying for expensive PPC campaigns or solo ads that require a big backend funnel
- Having to slave over creating original content that when you hit publish or share on your Fanpage, never gets any traffic or ever ranks in Google
- Spending all day on forums only to drive small trickles of traffic
- Using another bad software to spam social networks and bad tactics that violate site's TOS
and all that other stuff you've probably tried that ' experts' keep telling you to do.
The truth is, if you're using ' me too' strategies or trying to replicate what tons of other marketers are attempting to do as well to drive traffic, it will never work no matter how hard you try or how great the content is you create.
The internet is way too saturated now and only getting worse because it caters to million dollar companies leaving small businesses like yours fighting for the tiny scraps of traffic left over.
But here's the good news...
A step-by-step "fill in the blank" system you can use to drive lots of instant free traffic (not just trickles here and there) of traffic in any niche you want very fast...
to quickly build your a truly responsive, valuable list to make ecommarce oreffiliate money from.
It's all outlined in a secret, exclusive traffic course called:
A premium training course designed from the ground up to take you by the hand and show you exactly how to drive hordes of targeted visitors to your opt-pages or sales pages fast.
This works in any niche, and includes all the latest up-do-date strategies true traffic experts including myself use today to build our lists 100x faster than the competition.
(And don't worry, this isn't some Google ' hack' or shiny software toy that might work for a week then be ineffective.)
- The exact steps I take to get experts to write fully unique and sharable content for me to use on my site, without them even having any idea who I am before I ask.
- How to know exactly what type of video or blog post experts in your niche will share, and how to get them to share it with their big audiences even if you' re a ' nobody' in your niche!
- The quick and easy way to tap into trending topics, and get easy viral traffic to your opt-in forms
- How to quadruple the amount of traffic you get from one piece of content or video with three easy steps, even if you published it already months ago.

- A fast strategy to leverage free Facebook groups for insane amount of traffic. 99% of people who try this end up doing it wrong!

- How to avoid the ' pay to play' trap of having to pay to get you content seen on social networks like Facebook now
- How to quickly build safe, powerful whitehat links that keep your content rank in Google for years to come for hands free traffic that' s hard to turn off.
- How to get your links & posts to stand out from the sea of competitors on crowded social sites like Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram

Just imagine never having to worry about traffic generation again.
All you have to do is watch the videos in the training, follow the paint-by-number steps, and you' ll be able to drive as much free traffic as you need.
It's that simple.
In fact, once you do some of these strategies, it will be hard to shut the traffic off to be honest!
Traffic and List Authority teaches you some of the most cutting edge traffic and list building strategies available today and I DON'T want these techniques to be used by everyone.
That's right, Traffic and List Authority is too important to get into the hands of everyone online...
and will only be offered as a special one-time-opportunity to those trusted 'action takers' who bought ShopiRater and proved they are serious about wanting to drive real, relevant traffic the right way online.
So, if you leave this page, you'll never have access to the proven, copy-paste strategies top traffic experts use again.
If you don't get Traffic and List Authority you'll most likely have to invest thousands into private coaching calls to master these specific traffic tactics...
or fork over a significant amount of your companies equity to a lead generation firm and pray it works out.
Yes, there's other 'traffic' courses out there and free blog content, but let's get real.
That stuff is outdated and 98% of the vendors launching them can't generate any traffic themselves really.
But, because I know you took action and bought ShopiRater, you can get LIFETIME access with ability to download the videos for a super discounted, low price today.
And the best part?
We'll be taking all the risk for you. If you go through the videos and 'paint-by-number' steps and don't end up driving the traffic you hoped...
Then, we'll refund every penny. You're completed convered by our 'Unlimited Traffic' guarnatee.
Plus, the next few buyers get Unlimited Reseller Rights AND Giveaway Rights!
What if you could Traffic and List Authority itself to get traffic and sales?
Well, for the next handful of buyers we're giving away unlimited resellers rights to resell this course and the giveaway rights, too.
You can include this as part of your marketing, launch it, or even build your own list using it.
So, go ahead now, press the 'buy now' button below, and get access before the price increases and Traffic and List Authority goes away forever.
PS: Think about it...
if you're able to generate just 100 visitors from the training and you get one sale (a 1% conversion rate which is horrible) for a product of the same price, you just paid for the course essentially.
Do you think that after watching all the videos on the latest traffic strategies that you can generate just 100 measly visitors to your site?
Of course, and you' re going to drive way more than that, especialy since now you don't have to worry about SEO or PPC now.
And since you're guaranteed 100% of your money back if you don't start generating traffic immediately...
the only excusive for not buying this is if you're really not going to take action with ShopiRater anyway and plan on jumping from shiny object to shiny object.
So what are you waiting for?

Billy McDonald grew up hearing stories about flying and about his father's experiences in China, and as an adult, he was stunned to discover front-page stories about his father's career. After five years of research and another year working with his co-author to create the final book, author McDonald has immersed himself in the history of aviation in Alabama and in China during the 1930s and 40s, as well as the experience of Americans in China during that era.
Since completing The Shadow Tiger, McDonald has presented his father's story to dozens of organizations including The Southern Museum of Flight, CNAC, China National Aviation Corporation, WW2 Roundtable, Atlanta chapter, Commerative Air Force, Dixie Wing, The National WWII museum for 2 nights, The Smithsonian to the AAHS, MOAA and several Rotary Clubs..In 2016, he also spent three weeks in China meeting with multiple Museums and Associations that showcase the history of American flyers with the Flying Tigers and the China National Aviation Corporation (CNAC). McDonald currently serves on the board of CNAC Heritage Fund and The Southern Museum of Flight.

Q. For a long time, we have been unable to open attachments to email messages. Usually, these attachments were unimportant things like family snapshots, etc, so we didn't mind too much. Last week this problem came to a head. We had ordered, and paid for, a list of licensees from the State of Texas Health Department. They elected to send the data via email attachment. After many unsuccessful efforts to open their "attachment," and several telephone calls back and forth, we gave up and they decided to mail us a disk with the information. Then, BIG SURPRISE!! In a last-ditch effort to open the attachment, suddenly a box appears that says something like this: "OE has blocked the dangerous attachment", etc.
Question: Who gave OE the ability and/or the authority to interfere with our email attachments and how in hell do we get them out of our hair???
A. To answer the question of who gave OE the abilty/authority to do this we have to break it down just a little.
Obviously Microsoft programmed this ability into their software. This was done to help prevent the spread of viruses and worms. As you may know, there are many that exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft products and prey upon unsuspecting users who might open any attachment they receive in their e-mail without thought or concern regarding the consequences of their actions.
By blocking access to potentially unsafe attachments Microsoft has probably reduced the spread of certain viruses by a significant amount.
It sounds much more dramatic and permanent than it actually is, though. All they have done is blocked your ability to access the attachment. They have not banished it to the forest of forgotten e-mail or anything. All you need to do is turn off this feature in Outlook Express by clicking Tools then Options. then click the Security tab and clear the check box next to "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" and then click OK.
After that you can go back and open the attachment.
As to the "who gave them the authority," the answer is simple. You did. You gave it to them when you elected to use their software to manage your e-mail.
Keep in mind that if you are unhappy with the software you are using there are alternatives. If you don't like Outlook or Outlook Express you might investigate other e-mail programs such as Eudora, Thunderbird or even Pegasus Mail.

Give your Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU front speakers a patriotic look with these high quality American Pride US Flag Speaker Grill Trim. Available in polished or a brushed/satin finish for an Americana look that's second to none along with greater durability.
Installation is incredibly easy. Before prepping your surface, be patient and spend some time test fitting the part up against the speaker surface. It's important that the speaker trim conforms to the shape of the original factory speaker. We apply a roll to the trim but you will need to adjust the shape to insure the best fit possible. Taking your time here and shaping the metal will keep the metal from fighting against the adhesive and causing the installation to fail over time. Simply use rubbing alcohol or a gentle degreaser to remove any and all petroleum products (Armorall, Black Magic, etc.) from the stock speaker grill. Once cleaned, simply apply the included adhesive promoter to the attachment points, peel and stick on the premium stainless steel trim. Press firmly to create a strong adhesive bond and enjoy!

Chris Kraus co-curated a 2012 exhibit at a community center in Mexicali, Mexico, billed as a cultural and personal exchange between artists, journalists, activists and filmmakers on both sides of the border exemplifying possibilities of 21st century hybridized culture through the pursuit of artistic expression grounded in barrio life. The exhibit was featured in Artforum, May Revue and Generacion, a Mexico City publication.
Kraus has written many books exploring a variety of subjects including feminism, gender politics, philosophy and love such as "Summer of Hate," (2012), "Trick" (2009), "Catt: Her Killer" (2009), "Visualizing the Tragic: Drama, Myth, and Ritual in Greek Art and Literature" (2007), and "LA Artland: Contemporary Art From Los Angeles" (2005).

Jonah Rowen is assembling a book of original essays by prominent architects reckoning with the legacy of Colin Rowe, a major intellectual influence on world architecture and urbanism century in city planning and urban design during the second half of the 20th Century.
He's is also working on a collectionNee of conversations, curated with Alfie Koetter, Daniel Markiewicz, and Emmett Zeifman, with leading young architects including Reinhold Martin and Kadambari Baxi, Pier Vittorio Aureli, and Jesse Reiser, regarding the possibilities for developing an architectural project today.
Before his appointment at Sci-Arc, Rowen worked at two prestigious New York design firms, Gage/Clemenceau and Esenman Architects.
At Gage/Clemenceau, he was a lead designer for the firm's Te Wero Bridge and Taiwan Centers for Disease Control proposals. In 2007 he was invited to Copenhagen to teach as an assistant to Mark Foster Gage in the "Think Tank on Computational Aesthetics" held at the Royal Danish Academy.
At Eisenman Architects he worked on several projects, including a forthcoming book and exhibition at the Yale School of Architecture with design professor Matthew Roman's analyses of 16th century Italian architect Andrea Palladio, widely considered Western architecture's most influential practitioner.

Lecture: 5: 30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 6
Geren Auditorium
Miguel Roldán will present the opening lecture of a major Texas A&M College of Architecture exhibit featuring emerging Spanish architects Nov. 6 at Preston Geren Auditorium.
The exhibit, "The Young Architects of Spain," will showcase extraordinary work by emerging architects in a series of internally illuminated modules displaying photographs, videos and information of 62 works from public and private commissions consisting of new constructions and renovations to existing buildings.
Jesus Aparicio, who curated the exhibit, said it presents a variety of extraordinary, rigorously constructed work deeply sensitive to its cultural and natural environment. Roldan's work, such as the co-design of Placa Europa, a Barcelona social housing tower, has also won praise. An architecture critic wrote the design, created with firm partner Mercé Berengué, overcomes the strictures of regulatory protocols to the extent that it's "hard to believe this is social housing."
Roldán also developed a set of interior designs with Berengué exhibited recently at Barcelona's Catalunya College of Architects' headquarters in Barcelona.
Roldán is interested in the moment when ideas move themselves into the territory of promises, in discovering the promises in a problematic site, in a confusing program, a low budget, an incomplete product or an uneven slope.
"A good problem," he has said, "is a good resource."
Founder, Hirsuta; assistant professor of architecture, University of California-Los Angeles.
Lecture: 5: 30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 12
Geren Auditorium
Informed by intensive research and an experimental approach, Jason Payne seeks to create a direct appeal to the senses in his work, which specializes in advanced form and integration of emerging technologies in construction.
He has established a reputation as a leading designer in his generation; his recent work is credited as a major influence in pushing digital design and fabrication away from an overt focus on technique and process toward the explicit celebration of product, experience, affect, and atmosphere.
At a previous firm, Payne designed the No Good Television Reception Bar for a private residence in Beverly Hills, Calif., which netted he and fellow designer Heather Roberge an AIA design award in 2006.
At UCLA, Payne teaches core studios, elective studios and technology seminars. His teaching and research is characterized by exotic influences such as botany, hairstyling and pharmacology. The work produced in his courses establishes credibility for these strange hybrids and is distinguished by its extreme specificity, technical complexity, and the frequent use of rich colors and textures.
Payne has taught at Rice University, Pratt Institute, Bennington College and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and worked as project designer for Reiser + Umemoto Architects and Daniel Libeskind Studio.

3 police officers injured in north Kosovo ambush
PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) — Kosovo police say three police officers were wounded when unknown gunmen ambushed a border police patrol car in the north of the country, which is controlled by minority Serbs.
Police spokesman, Baki Kelani said the attack happened late Monday near the town of Zvecane, which is manned by Serb members of the Kosovo police. He said the injuries are not life-threatening.
The attack comes as leaders of Kosovo and Serbia try to work out a deal with the help of the European Union to bring the volatile area under the rule of law.
Hardline Serbs in the north reject Pristina's rule and target Serbs working with Kosovo's ethnic Albanians.
Belgrade has agreed to back Serb participation in Kosovo-run organizations but fiercely rejects its former province's 2008 claim to statehood.
