Hello Sc'ers! It's been a very long time since I've been here. I hope everyone is well.
I'm in need of some advice for a phone. It's a little long....(sorry)
I need a new phone. The phone I currently have (Samsung A5) no longer works with wifi. Everything else works; it's just the wifi broke and I found out the expensive way (an overage on my data on my mobile bill last month).
I don't make a lot of calls, I text a lot, and use minimal mobile data (maybe 1 gig tops?) because I'm usually using wi-fi and I do dumb crap like banking or checking the weather etc. I don't use social media like Snapchat or anything that sucks data up like youtube.
For the past 5 years I haven't been on contract because I've had 2 different unlocked refurbished phones that I slapped a SIM card in it and went about my merry little way. This is how I've kept my nice little deal. I pay mid 50's/a month for what I get. It meets my needs just fine.
I've gone to my current provider and worked with customer loyalty to get a deal with them; unfortunately, their "best" offer involves doubling the price I currently pay each month and gets me a bunch of crap I will never use. I've looked at the competitors as well and they offer similar packages. The human rep I spoke to in the store said she hasn't seen a phone plan like mine for YEARS and I'd be kind of crazy to let it go, especially because it meets my needs just fine and I don't want anything bigger/different than what I currently have.
I should also tell you that I'm not fancy. I don't need the latest camera or whatever the newest bell and whistle is. And I definitely don't need an i-phone. Hate em and would never switch. I like Samsung. They've been good to me. They are generally sturdy, although I have found the S series to be more sturdy than the current A series phone I have.
So...that leaves me the following options:
1. Pay $200 to replace the board in my current A5. But, that's dumping 200 bucks onto a phone that is already 2 years old and no guarantee that something else won't go on it after the wi fi issue is fixed. The repair guy told me quite honestly that he sees a lot of A5's needing repairs and they don't seem to be the sturdiest phone. They are a mid-range phone; not the higher end phone like the S galaxy series ones are.
2. Go buy a brand new different A series phone from Best Buy or where ever (they kind of are all the same price-- $450- 500) and pay for a warranty on it for the first year or two because I do tend to drop things. LOL. Warranties run about $20 month if you get the Best Buy one.
3. Go down and buy another refurbished unlocked phone as I've done in the past which is slightly cheaper than buying the new one but it IS refurbished and then stick my SIM card in and move on. This gets me a higher end phone (an S9) for 600 plus tax and an in store warranty as well that I can pay additional for.
Here's what I'm not sure about...
Back to school phone deals- is that a thing? Should I wait a couple weeks and see what deals are offered on phones as part of back-to-school shopping? (I've already gone 3 weeks with this stupid phone as it is and I'm getting accustomed to no data...lol...so I'm prepared to wait it out for a few more weeks but then something's gotta give.)
When do companies usually release new phones? I know you can get crazy good deals on phones when companies are preparing to release a newer version of something but I always feel like that means waiting until Christmas???? When are the best deals on phones?
What would you do?
I don't like asking for advice but I'm honestly torn about this one and seem incapable of making a decision. I've had 2 refurbished phones-- one was great and the other one not as great so I don't know if I'm wise to keep going the refurbished route. I could go on kijiji but there's no guarantee there either and I had a bad experience this spring buying a used phone from a colleague for my daughter that ended up lasting her 3 weeks....and then it was awkward because it was someone I worked with too.
Ok...GO! Give me your recommendations or your wisdom about phones and deals!!

Maybe check out rcss mobile, I was able to keep my plan with Roger's and got new Samsung phones s9 last year at $0 when everywhere else wanted $ on top of signing a new contract. The rcss mobile store in my town is offering $0 for s10. Last week there was PC optimum offer of 25,000 points for every $50 spent.

Costco also sells some unlocked Samsung phones off the shelf (not through their cell phone stand). Not sure how the prices or specs are but I saw them last week.

I'm totally on board with you on the not changing your plan. I rode the same plan with my provider for 8 years on a grandfathred plan that couldnt be beat.
I too was buying phones out-right to avoid changing my plan.
That said, I was also going to suggest Costco for off-the-peg phones (yes, not from the cell phone stand, as they're there to get you into a new plan with a provider and a high-end device)
I might be wrong, but I think I saw the A50* on the shelf at Costco for around $300-ish? (it's $399 if you buy it directly from Samsung.ca)
*(or was it the A20? That one is on Samsung.ca for $299)
In any event, those are both decent places. I've bought phones directly from Samsung before without any issues.
The A50 is a decent phone. Has a (nearly) edgeless screen... supports quick charging, has a fingerprint scanner, does facial recognition, tri-lens camera on the back, and supports Samsung Pay.
Also, if you buy a refurbished phone like an S7, S8, S9, keep in mind that the water-proof guarantee is null and void. Once a phone is refurbished, it loses its rating for being water proof.
Side note: be VERY wary if you're looking at Amazon. Many of the same models are International versions and have NO WARRANTY. Only if it's SOLD AND SHIPPED by Amazon should feel safe about ordering.

Thanks for the great advice. I didn't know that about the water proof guarantee being voided once it's refurb and I didn't know the stuff about Amazon either. I had looked at Costco awhile back but it was at the phone booth and they were looking to sell me a plan. I didn't realize they sold them off the peg. I will head in to my local store tomorrow for a second expedition!!!

#3 sounds up my alley. The thing is I wouldn't go for an S9 as that's pricey but ( this is risky) a cheap Chinese phone from Aliexperss / eBay. I'm currently using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 and despite it not having complete data coverage, it works great.

Much of the early research into networking wa funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) funded as a way to share computation resources among ARPA researchers. Later, ARPA shifted its focus to internetworking and funded research on the Internet, which has been growing exponentially for decades.
With the advent of high-speed personal computers and higher-speed network technologies, the focus of the Internet changed from resource sharing to general-purpose communication. The type of data sent over the Internet shifted from text to graphics, video clips, and high-definition video. A similar transition occurred in audio, enabling the Internet to transfer multimedia documents.
Internet technologies impact society in many ways. Recent changes include the
transition of voice telephones, cable television, and cellular services to digital Internet
technologies. In addition, wireless Internet access and support for mobile users has become essential.
Although the underlying Internet technology has remained virtually unchanged,
new applications continue to emerge that provide enhanced experiences for Internet
users. Sensor networks, maps, and navigation systems enable environmental monitor-ing, security, and easier travel. Social networking applications encourage new social groups and organizations.
The advent of cloud computing represents another major change. Instead of storing data and running applications on a local computer, the cloud model allows individuals and companies to store data and run applications in a data center. Cloud providers offer elastic computation and storage services, which means customers only pay for the computation and storage they use.

Proper Grip & Fulcrum
Keith Karnaky - drummer, and owner of The Drum Shop, Houston Texas
Frequently Asked Questions From Fellow Drummers
How do I achieve a loose grip while holding my drumsticks?
The patented swivel pads automatically positions your thumb and index finger at the fulcrum for a correct grip.
How do I keep my back fingers on the drumstick while I'm playing?
HINGESTIX necessitates the use of the back fingers to control the stick, because of their free floating action.
How do I know that I'm holding the drumstick correctly?
HINGESTIX specially contoured swivel pads pivot at the fulcrum and forces the correct grip and builds muscle memory for proper grip on your regular drumsticks.
How do I feel the rebound of the drumsticks when I'm playing my drums?
A free rebound can only be achieved when you're holding the drumstick loosely. HINGESTIX lets you feel a free unencumbered rebound because the hinged swivel pads rotate freely. When you hold the stick, you're actually simulating a loose grip so that when you go back to your regular drumsticks you'll realize how a free rebound should feel.

CLINTON, Iowa (Blugolds.com) – Down most of the game, the UW-Eau Claire men's basketball team came back to defeat Ashford University (Iowa), ranked 23rd in the latest NAIA poll, 64-63 with a buzzer beating layup at Kehl Arena tonight.
After trailing by as many as 13 points, the Blugolds tied the game up at 51 points with just over seven minutes remaining. While the teams went back and forth from there, Ashford took a Blugold turnover with just a few seconds left and scored to get up 63-62. After a Blugold timeout, Lewis Mau (Jr.-Colfax, Wis.) scored on a layup at the buzzer to give the Blugolds the win.
Just over four minutes into the game, the Blugolds led by one but Ashford then used a 23-9 run to get up by 13 with five minutes remaining in the opening half. The Blugolds got to within eight (36-28) by halftime.
In the second half, Ashford led by 12 points, three minutes into the half, but the Blugolds then outscored Ashford 18-6 to tie it up at 51 with just over seven minutes left before working their way to the one-point win.
Mau led the Blugolds in scoring with 21 points while completing a double-double with 10 rebounds. Two other Blugolds secured double-doubles, Kurtis Moody (So.-Pequot Lakes, Minn.) with 12 rebounds and 10 points along with Jared Miller (So.-Colfax, Wis.) with 11 rebounds and 12 points.
As a team the Blugolds shot 49.1 percent (27-for-55) from the field while Ashford went 19-for-49 (38.8 percent). Ashford scored 19 points from the free throw line while Eau Claire had just seven, while the Blugolds also had eight points off turnovers compared to 21 for Ashford.
Eau Claire improves to 5-5 overall, ending a three-game losing streak. Ashford drops to 10-4.
The Blugolds will now be off for a couple weeks with their next event scheduled for Dec. 30 when they host the two-day, four-team 45th Annual UW-Eau Claire Holiday Classic in Zorn Arena.

'Invasive' Advertising Burns Image onto Retinas
By Advertising / IO, 20 Dec 2010

An experimental BMW ad is the stuff of sci-fi dreams: to 'burn' an after-image of the automotive brand's logo onto the retinas of unsuspecting audience members.
The ad was screened at a German cinema, where a cut-out of the letters "BMW" was placed directly in front a high-powered flash lighting unit. During the ad itself, the flash fired onto the audience, and when told to close their eyes at the end of the ad, they were left with the lingering after-image of the "BMW" letters at the back of their eyelids.
And far from crying out "lobotomy", the audience members were impressed with the stunt, as the video above will show.

Watching over the pipes ... and other wonkish digital-policy-based musings
Monday, 12 March 2012
New UK government transparency advisor Jimmy Wales, if you're reading this...
The obvious starting point for any transparency drive is Section 35 of the Freedom of Information Act; which, together with similar provisions in Section 36 specifically allow information to be withheld from disclosure if gathered for the purpose of formulating policy or deemed to be prejudicial to 'the conduct of public affairs'.
The rationale goes that companies and their lobbyists are less likely to engage in a frank and open dialogue with government if forced to air their laundry in public.
However, as I've seen with my own eyes, this shield is abused to prevent public scrutiny of 'evidence' presented by lobbyists - 'evidence' which might pass muster of a busy minister and his staff, perhaps not aware of the complexity in a wider debate, but would be shot down in minutes by a panel of qualified experts.
Next I'd suggest Mr Wales takes a look at the closed-door industry meetings driving the digital policy agenda.
I got invited to one after kicking up a fuss, the Minister trumpeted our involvement in a speech in Parliament, saying "hon. Members who are interested in what happened can find out from very public blogs", before closing the door firmly and carrying on as before, despite acknowledging personally the receipt of my letter setting out good reasons to widen participation even further.
Typically, representatives from large multinational organisations and the biggest UK ISPs get invited to discuss 'the way forward' on a range of issues from adult content filtering to protecting copyright, guarding against defamation and defending national security.
The problem being that 'the internet industry' is more than today's giants. Policy that BT, Vodafone, Talk Talk, Virgin,Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Amazon and Microsoft is comfortable with isn't necessarily the best policy for innovative entrepreneurial tech start ups or the general public.
I have repeatedly called for internet policy making to be done in a manner that includes as many voices as possible, because so much of so many people's lives is lived-out online.
We need strong voices defending the public interest at such meetings, as well as smaller businesses and the software development community.
Digital policy now affects so many businesses it's simply wrong to involve only today's biggest providers and squeeze out all other business voices.
It can lead to regulatory capture - regulation which suits today's dominant companies, helping them maintain their dominant position at the expense of younger, growing companies.
And finally it can also lead to bad laws in a complex area that leave a lead weight round the neck of the entire digital economy, plus a massive administrative burden on governments for decades.
Take the Digital Economy Act, passed just under 2 years ago and still struggling to be implemented.
My guess now is the first warning letters won't hit doormats until nearly 4 years after implementation.
Had the government of the day gone for a strictly educational system as outlined in Lord Carter's Digital Britain Report - before Peter Mandelson got his hands on the Bill - I have no doubt the system would already be operational and would not cost the public the predicted £6m I uncovered.
I'm told a row over how legislation will affect schools, libraries, colleges, internet cafe owners and other free WiFi providers has massively delayed the remaining legislation required to implement the UK's 3-strikes policy.
I expect legislation to be published shortly - within days or weeks - but I don't expect it to solve the problem of how to protect open internet access providers.
Repeated calls were made during debates on the Digital Economy Bill, particularly in the Lords, for special protection for those who provide open internet access.
These calls were met with assurances that the problem would be dealt with, in a bid to rush-through legislation. Assurances that are still to be met.
I've submitted an FOI request to help the public understand the implications, and perhaps also the level of unease within various departments and organisations involved or affected, but I won't hold my breath because of Section 35 'public policy' exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act.

This blog post is the best exposition I have yet read on how, as Dr Richard Hull identified, elite clientelism permeates Digital decision-making.
The question "why" is cynically answered as the profit motive and perhaps there is a better alternative cause at work, like community interest, however means misplaced?

12 Ways to Support Your Partner With ADHD
When you have a partner with ADHD, there is fine line between being supportive and enabling ADHD behaviors. Here are 12 ways you can offer healthy support.
Get informed
Learn about ADHD. It is important to distinguish between ADHD symptoms and conscious behaviors. Read about how symptoms of ADHD often manifest in adults.
Learn to go with the flow
Don't personalize ADHD behaviors. It is easy to take it personally when your partner forgets your lunch date, doesn't seem to listen when you talk or forgets to take out the trash. These can all be symptoms of inattention. Separate your partner's feelings for you from his or her behavior.
Promote understanding
Avoid judging ADHD behaviors. When your partner forgets to wash the dishes, you might automatically assume he is "lazy" or "irresponsible." Instead of labeling the behaviors, discuss what behaviors bother you and work together to come up with ways to manage symptoms.
Fall in love all over again
Focus on character traits rather than behaviors. You originally fell in love because of your partner's positive character traits. Keep a list of the traits you love about your partner and when you become irritated because of ADHD behaviors, remind yourself why you found her irresistible.
Laugh more
Keep your sense of humor. ADHD symptoms often lead to strange and funny outcomes. Choose to find the humor and laugh at miscommunications. But make sure you are laughing together, rather than having your partner feel you are laughing at him.
Shift your point of view
Spend time looking at a situation from your partner's perspective. To do this, ask questions and actively listen to the answers. Find out how your partner feels when ADHD symptoms cause a mishap. You might be surprised to find out she feels ashamed, embarrassed or worried that you won't love her anymore.
Pay close attention to language
Pay attention to how you talk to your partner. You should both speak to one another with respect. Scolding, nagging or demanding usually get a defensive reaction.
Two-way street
Acknowledge that some of your behaviors can be annoying, too. Chances are pretty good that your partner finds some of your behaviors irritating.
Take a new approach
Discuss problem areas in your relationship. Choose a time when both of you are calm and relaxed. Ask your partner for ideas on how to improve your relationship and keep an open mind. People with ADHD are often out-of-the-box thinkers. Your partner might have creative solutions.
Compromise and tradeoffs
Create a practical plan for dealing with problem situations. If your partner has trouble completing household chores, work together to find a solution and then write down the plan of action. A good example is breaking down household chores by interest and ability, rather than along gender lines.
Consider what's beneath the surface
Understand how ADHD affects adults. In some people, ADHD can lead to depression, relationship problems and can interfere with employment. Rather than blame your partner if you see these types of problems, work together or seek professional help.
Remember to uplift each other
Appreciate what your partner does right. Find a reason, no matter how small, to compliment your partner about something -- or many things -- each day.

Last November, the Supreme Court denied certiorari in Marek v. Lane, a class action case concerning potential privacy violations arising from Facebook's short-lived and controversial "Beacon" program, which automatically posted information regarding users' transactions on third-party websites to the users' Facebook feeds. The class action ended in a settlement, in which Facebook agreed to pay $9.5 million into a cy pres fund to "establish a charitable foundation" that would "fund organizations dedicated to educating the public about online privacy." Class counsel would receive 25%, roughly $3 million. The new foundation would include a Facebook representative as one of its three board members. Affected users, the members of the class, would receive no direct compensation. Chief Justice Roberts published a statement expressing concern regarding the settlement, stating that the Court would soon need to address questions of when such cy pres remedies are appropriate and whether such settlements are fair.
This type of charity fund cy pres settlement should sound familiar to all Gmail users who tried out the now-defunct Google Buzz in February 2010. In November of that year, a Northern District of California judge approved a settlement in the Internet privacy class action lawsuit regarding Google Buzz's automatic sharing of users' Gmail contact lists. Generally, in class action settlements between major companies and classes comprised of large groups of customers, individual customers receive some kind of direct compensation, even if the amount is negligible or the payment comes in the form of coupons rather than cash. However, instead of compensating affected users directly, Google paid out $8.5 million to an "independent fund," to "support organizations promoting privacy education and policy on the web." Plaintiffs' class counsel requested 25% of the settlement fund, or roughly $2 million, to cover attorneys' fees and expenses.
Charity fund cy pres settlements such as those in the Facebook and Google Buzz cases described above raise various questions of fairness to class members in addition to implicating common criticisms of the class action device. This type of cy pres settlement is becoming increasingly common in class actions involving Internet privacy violations by companies such as Google, Netflix, and Facebook. The use of cy pres settlements in cases involving Internet privacy issues is thus among the trends that led Chief Justice Roberts to express concern with the cy pres settlement format.
One of the main problems with these cy pres settlements is one of fairness to class members. In general, courts are amenable to cy pres fund settlements in cases where "direct payments to the members of the putative class may be impractical," perhaps because that class is too numerous. Courts generally agree that the distribution of cy pres awards to related charities (such as those educating users on Internet privacy) provides benefits, albeit indirectly, to the class and permit such awards for that reason. Because Internet privacy class actions involve such a large number of users, distributing part of the award to individual class members could easily be too costly or logistically impractical. Thus, courts have become more willing to approve settlements that give none of the award to class members as compensation. Intuitively, this seems unfair, particularly in the context where the Google Buzz lawsuit was broad under a statute providing for damages of up to $1,000 per violation.
An additional problem is that the method for distributing the awarded cy pres funds appears to allow Facebook and Google to direct funds to groups that they already support. As Consumer Watchdog reported, the Google Buzz settlement funds would likely be considered "tax-deductible donations" from Google to groups such as the MacArthur Foundation and the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, already "favored charities" of Google. Facebook's settlement, on the other hand, sets up a new privacy foundation that would have a Facebook employee as part of its board. Because the settlement would create a new entity, its ability to benefit class members remains unclear. Both settlements seem to benefit the defendants more than the class members, thus appearing unfair.
Finally, given that class counsel in both the Facebook and Google Buzz cases stood to collect a substantial $2-$3 million from these awards, these cy pres settlements implicate the common criticism that class actions are merely a way for plaintiffs' attorneys to profit while class members gain very little. This is a valid criticism in the context of the Facebook and Google settlements, when individual plaintiffs received no direct compensation even as plaintiff's class counsel received substantial attorneys' fees.

QC Software Offers Enhanced Cloud Computing to Reduce IT Costs and Increase Reliability
PRLog (Press Release)[1] - Jul. 9, 2014 - QC Software, an industry leader in providing innovative software solutions for order fulfillment and distribution centers, recently suggested methods to reduce IT costs without sacrificing productivity through enhanced cloud computing.
QC Software has the solution to enhance cloud computing. QC Software eliminates the information lag time that can occur in cloud computing by installing their dynamic Warehouse Control System (WCS) software at each facility. After the WCS downloads information from the remote WMS, the WCS maintains the data locally. This means the WCS can process the data quickly and, in the event the remote server experiences a communication disruption, the WCS will ensure that the warehouse continues to operate.
Warehouse Management System (WMS) software providers offer cloud computing to help their customers reduce IT costs. The two big disadvantages of cloud computing are a delay in receiving information from a remote server and a communication delay due to a disruption in the link. These delays can be critical when managing a fast-paced, dynamic warehouse operation.
Cloud computing reduces IT costs through the use of shared resources. By adding a WCS, a company substantially reduces risk and associated costs by efficiently managing the operational processes and ensuring the continuity of facility operations. In addition, when a customer pays a usage fee for their remote WMS, the WCS reduces their "time on the cloud." All things considered, QC Software's WCS is unquestionably a cost-effective solution that enhances cloud computing.
To read the entire blog, go to: http://qcsoftware.com/wp/?p=30[2].
QC Software (www.qcsoftware.com[3]) is proud to host the event and is recognized as an industry leader for order fulfillment and distribution centers. These innovative software solutions help North American and European distribution centers and warehouses to streamline operations with the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry. Warehouse managers realize increased system productivity and dependability.
QC Enterprise, the premier software product suite, is the result of extensive research, development, and rigorous testing. It is a proven product that provides benefits to leading manufacturers, retailers, and direct sales organizations. This complete, integrated warehouse control system is configurable, scalable, and modular to suit a wide range of user requirements. QC Software customers gain a competitive edge in today's complex economy. Follow on Twitter @QCSoftware.

John Pawson to design trophies for 2017 Fashion Awards
Prominent British designer John Pawson has been asked to create the winners' trophies for the British Fashion Council's 2017 Fashion Awards, it was announced today. The designer's creations will be presented to the fashion world's biggest names during a ceremony in London later in the year.
Centering his design on the trophy's official name, "Filament," Pawson's creations feature colored threads cast through Swarovski crystal. The trophies will be handmade at the company's headquarters in Wattens, Austria, before being transported to London's Royal Albert Hall for the December ceremony.
Weighing approximately 3.3 pounds, and measuring 9.4 inches by 2.5 inches, the crystal awards will be handed out to winners across 12 categories, which include Designer of the Year and Model of the Year. The cylindrical trophies will all be unique, with a different colored material thread used in each.
Celebrated for his starkly minimalist designs, Pawson is best known for residential buildings and store designs for brands like Calvin Klein. The designer is also behind a number of high-profile architectural projects, such as the interior of London's recently relocated Design Museum.
Pawson's commission marks the second time that award organizers have asked an eminent designer to create the trophies. Last year's awards -- which were taken home by the likes of Ralph Lauren, Gigi Hadid and Craig Green -- were conceived by Australian industrial designer Marc Newson.
"I wanted to design something reduced to its simplest possible form, in this case the cylinder -- something you could hold in your hand -- which I could then retune to use the inherent qualities of Swarovski crystal," Pawson said in a press statement. "Its design means that all four sides provide a different view of the thread. The serendipitous aspect of the project is the way the finished piece refracts light."

This week Kim & I took our little ones on their 3rd annual apple picking outing together! We always have so much fun letting the kiddos run free amidst the rows of trees in the orchard while we get a chance to catch up. The reward for our fun day: tired toddlers, Social Media-worthy pictures and baskets of freshly picked produce. Now in case you haven't heard it before, the thriftiest way to purchase produce is to buy what is in season and it doesn't get any better than picked ripe right off of the tree! By the time we got home, my little one settled in quickly for a nap and I went straight to the kitchen to make an apple cobbler for dessert. Here's how you can make your own easy apple crumble cobbler at home using fresh apples or canned apples.
This recipe makes one 9×13 dish or two 8 inch pie plates.
1 ½ C all-purpose flour
¾ C whole wheat flour
1 C granulated sugar
3 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
*If you wish to use yellow cake mix in a box, just omit the above dry ingredients.
½ Stick (4Tbsp) room temperature Unsalted Butter
2 Eggs at room temperature
5 C Diced Apples, tossed with about 1Tbsp Cinnamon
** You can use canned filling too if that is what you have in your pantry.
8 oz. Cream Cheese at room temperature
1/3 C Brown Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
Vanilla Ice Cream if desired
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Combine dry ingredients, butter and 1 egg mixing until crumbly.
Prepare your dish(es) with butter or cooking spray and press ½ of the crumble onto the bottom of the dish pressing until smooth. Bake for 10 minutes.
Cut up apples leaving the peel intact and toss with cinnamon.
Beat together cream cheese, brown sugar, remaining egg and vanilla.
Layer the baked crust with the apples, the cream cheese mixture and finally the reserved crumble on top.
Bake for 30 minutes.
I hope you enjoy this recipe and keep in mind that you can use the crust with many different fruit fillings. I've made it with fresh peaches before during summer and it was equally delicious. My husband loves sweet potato pie so guess what my next variation will be! When you get a chance to make this, please, let us know what filling you are choosing to use!
Here are some similar tools to the one used in this post to create this fabulous dessert! The following are Amazon affiliate links so if you click the link and make a purchase, I receive a small commission that keeps this blog up and running! For more view my privacy policy.

Budtenders. Most outside the industry would smirk at the notion of budtending as a legitimate profession, but those in the know understand they are a key component to making their cannabusiness succeed.
As we identified in the first part of our three part series, one of the key drivers for marijuana users to switch from buying through the black market to a dispensary is the enticement of a wide product selection that the black market cannot compete with. However, to anyone walking into a dispensary for the first time this wide selection can be quite overwhelming and they need knowledgeable budtenders to help them identify the appropriate product to achieve their desired effect, be it recreational or medicinal.
But just how important are budtenders to cannabis patients and consumers? How does this impact their loyalty to dispensaries and manufacturers? We explore these issues using a Brightfield Group survey of more than 500 medical patients or adult consumers in recreational states.
Budtender opinions are highly respected …
The vast majority of patients and consumers take budtender recommendations very seriously. Twenty-two percent of respondents who buy from dispensaries or recreational shops report always following the budtender's recommendation and another 69% seriously consider the budtenders recommendation, though they weigh other factors in as well. This holds true for patients/consumers of all age groups, and for women and men alike.
Interestingly, those who spend more per week on cannabis and consume more frequently have a higher opinion of the knowledge of their local budtenders and follow their recommendations more often. This is significant because in many markets as much as three quarters of sales come from heavy users.
... but budtenders alone won't build loyalty
Despite the value that customers place on the opinions of budtenders, it is rarely cited as a top criterion when selecting a dispensary or rec shop, nor are those who place the most value on budtender opinions more loyal to a single dispensary. In fact, those who tend not to trust the advice of budtenders are more loyal customers than those who do value and/or use the advice of budtenders.
Budtenders recommendations most important to manufacturers
This, counterintuitively, indicates that budtenders are at least as important to manufacturers as they are to dispensaries. As important as budtenders are, a dispensary will need more than good budtenders to get clients in the door and to build their loyalty. Budtender recommendations, however, are critical for manufacturers looking to expand their consumer base. A recent survey of California medical patients indicates patients are very skeptical to try new products, particularly from brands they have never heard and are highly loyal to the brands that have earned their trust. Budtenders recommendations provide the greatest opportunity for encouraging patients to try their products and win their loyalty. As more brands are entering the marketplace, outreach and budtender education becomes increasingly important, and should become a key component in the expansion strategy of any savvy manufacturer.

Midtown Crossing, Omaha
Mutual of Omaha recognized an opportunity to transform the area surrounding their national headquarters into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. Located just west of downtown Omaha, Nebraska, the area had devolved into a patchwork of parking lots and commercial buildings.
Cope Linder Architects presented to Mutual of Omaha a redevelopment concept organized around a new elliptical public park space, flanked by residential buildings with retail and restaurants at the street level. Now completed, the development program involved over 1 million sf, including 220,000 sf of retail space, 297 condominiums, 196 rental apartments, a 132-room Westin Element Hotel, a multiplex cinema, and parking for 3,000 vehicles.
15 acres of development encompassing three city blocks is comprised of seven new mixed-use buildings, three parking structures, a new public streetscape, and the complete renovation of an existing city park. The elliptical green space serves as a natural amphitheater and has become one of the city's most popular outdoor concert and event venues. The flanking residential buildings are designed to follow the curve of the ellipse, with dining terraces overlooking the activity on the green.
Midtown Crossing was one of the first projects to be submitted under the Green Building Certification Institute's (GBCI) pilot program for LEED Neighborhood Development and has achieved LEED for Neighborhood Stage 2 Certification, which represents full certification of the neighborhood development plan.
Cope Linder Architects served as master planner, landscape architect, and design architect for the seven buildings and three parking structures. Executive architect was Holland Basham Architects.

text: A self-service sales forecast reporting tool for pharmacies The Pharmacy Guild of Australia The Pharmacy Guild of Australia represents and promotes community pharmacies throughout Australia. Established in 1928, the Guild represents a significant number of the 5,700 community pharmacies across Australia. It provides education and training, rural and corporate services, and public health programs to support community pharmacies to ensure quality health outcomes for the Australian public. Problem The Guild's original sales forecast tool, for pharmacies nationwide was inefficient in creating and distributing accurate reporting. Built for redundancy by 2015 it was time for the Guild to reinvent the process. Outcome Veritec partnered with The Guild to build ScriptMAP 2020, reinventing the original tool into an online portal that automated the data entry, complex equations, and report generation, saving time for the Guild and it's members. One of the Guild's key objectives is to provide sales reporting to pharmacies: 66.5% of pharmacy revenue depends on prescription sales, so providing accurate data and forecasting is essential to businesses. The Guild had a tool designed and built in 2010, ScriptMAP 2015, to collate and report on sales trends from members and forecast future sales. But it required manual data entry to transfer the information into spreadsheets and create reports, making it time-consuming to produce and access. Veritec partnered with The Guild to turn the original version of ScriptMAP into an online portal that automated the data entry, complex equations, and report generation. The portal took into account volume growth, substitution rates, discounting results, and trading terms, to give a gross margin for pharmacies that's accurate until 2020. The reports underwent extensive testing by the banks, who certified them as bankable business projections. ScriptMAP 2020 launched in 2017 and is predicted to assist with forecasting the sales within the $15 billion-dollar Australian pharmaceutical industry. The automated process saves the huge amount of time needed to create the reports, this can now be devoted to supporting and developing new benefits and services for members. Similarly, pharmacies have benefited from the large reduction in waiting times for information thanks to the self-service aspects of the tool. Veritec continues to provide updates and support to ScriptMAP 2020, ensuring the tool continues to save time and provide value for The Guild and pharmacies across Australia.

HANOI (Reuters) - Visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping and Vietnam's top leaders agreed on Thursday to manage disputes over the South China Sea amid strained ties made more uncertain by an upcoming reshuffle of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party.
Any cracks in relations were covered over as Xi met party heavyweights, some of whom have been wooed by the United States since a breakdown in Sino-Vietnamese ties last year following China's parking of an oil rig in contested waters.
Xi told Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung that the two sides "needed to manage disagreements well, using consultations to maintain (and) preserve stability on the seas," a Vietnamese Foreign Ministry statement said.
Xi's visit was timely, aimed at rebuilding relations amid some uncertainty over what kind of leader will emerge from January's five-yearly congress of a party traditionally close to Beijing, but now receiving unprecedented Western engagement.
Twelve bilateral agreements in all were signed, including cultural or "friendship" exchanges and several financing deals involving Chinese banks, most of which disclosed no details or values.
The agreements were made prior to Xi's meeting with Dung, whose government has been courting foreign investors and negotiating numerous trade pacts covering markets in Europe, Asia and North America with economies worth a combined $46 trillion.
Among those is the U.S.-led Trans Pacific Partnership, which Beijing is not part of.
Dung was the first of Vietnam's leaders to publicly criticize China over the rig incident, which gave rise to the worst breakdown in bilateral relations for three decades.
He stressed to Xi that the two sides should "control dissent" and "sincerely and frankly exchange and study demilitarization in the East Sea (South China Sea), ensuring security and safety of navigation and aviation," according to the statement.
China's rapid reclamation work near the contested Spratly Islands has fueled resentment and put Vietnam's leaders in a tricky spot, as has recent sparring between Beijing and Washington over freedom of navigation.
Small anti-China demonstrations have been held this week, including a brief protest on Thursday amid large police presence outside China's embassy in Hanoi.
Vietnam has been diversifying its ties and although China is not among its top investors, it is its largest trading partner at $60 billion a year and biggest source of its imports, making for a dependence that remains a contentious domestic issue.

The road from a serial number to the make of a gun is a long and winding one that very likely won't get you where you want to go. No public databases will help you find the make of a gun using the serial number. However, you may be able to figure out a gun's make from other markings on the gun or by taking it to a gunsmith or firearms professional.
Serial Numbers Allow the ATF to Trace Guns
Every gun manufactured in the U.S., and any gun made elsewhere but imported into the country, must have a serial number. That number must be unique and not a duplicate of another firearm's serial number. Serial numbers must be engraved or cast into the gunmetal in a conspicuous location.
The purpose of the serial number requirement is to allow the government to trace firearms. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives runs the National Tracing Center. They are the only agency authorized to trace guns with serial numbers, and they do not open their doors to the public. Only law enforcement personnel involved in criminal investigations can ask them to trace a firearm.
Can the National Tracing Center learn the make of a gun from its serial number? It probably can. But that service and that information is available only to the police.
Determining Make of Gun From Other Information on It
In addition to a serial number, U.S. law requires gun manufacturers and importers to engrave other data on the gun. This includes the manufacturer, the make of the firearm and its caliber. The make code will be in parentheses after the manufacturer's name.
Look for this information on the frame, receiver or barrel of the gun. If you can find it and interpret it, you will be able to determine the make of the gun. But there are hundreds of make codes that may not appear logical. For example, the code for Bersa is AEI. And imported firearms can have as many as four different makers marked on one gun. Look online for firearm identification books and brochures that list some of the common makes. These may help you find the make of the firearm.
Asking for Help
If you can't figure out the make of the gun from information on the gun, consider asking a gun expert for help. You might take it into a gun shop, ask experts during a gun show, or even post a photo of the firearm online in a gun blog.

Action on Ice Heats Up

DEL Playoffs Update
Scoreboard from Sunday, March 25th
March 26 – James Sharrow and Julian Talbot each scored a goal and dished out an assist during a 90-second, 3-goal explosion during the middle of the 2nd period as the top-ranked Berlin Polar Bears beat the Cologne Sharks and took a 3-0 lead in their best-of-seven quarterfinal matchup in the DEL Playoffs.
After Jason Jaspers scored a power-play goal to give the visiting Sharks the lead, Tyson Mulock evened the game after taking Sharrow's assist and scored at the 12:50 mark. A mere 30 seconds later, Sharrow scored his second goal of the series past Cologne's goaltender Danny Aus den Birken thanks to Talbot's assist.
Forty seconds later, the Sharks' Moritz Müller was sent to the penalty box for tripping, and Talbot iced the game with a power-play goal. Berlin can look forward to sweeping the series with a win on Wednesday in Cologne and move into the semifinals.
The second-ranked ERC Ingolstadt are also in control of their series after a pulsating 3-2 overtime win against the DEG Metro Stars from Dusseldorf. Thomas Greilinger scored two goals, including the game winner, a power-play goal 8:44 into the extra period. That capped a comeback after the Stars scored two goals in the 2nd period – a shorthanded goal by Evan Kaufmann and then a power play goal by Andrew Hedlund – to take a 2-1 lead. Joseph Motzko tied the game in the final period with his for second goal of the series for Ingolstadt and the game went into overtime to set up Greilinger's heroics.
The biggest surprise of the playoffs so far is the Straubing Tigers taking a 3-0 series lead over Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg. The Tigers are the sixth-ranked team in the playoffs and have jumped out to early leads in all the games against 3rd ranked Wolfsburg, who have only managed single goals in the final period and have been outplayed by the Bavarians. The Tigers are also looking to qualify early for the semifinals when they return to Straubing Ice Stadium on Wednesday.
In the final match up, the Hamburg Freezers lost the first two games to the Mannheim Eagles by a combined score 12-1. Their playoff future looked bleak after being down 1-0 in Game 3, but Patrick Traverse scored a power-play goal before the end of the first period and assisted Serge Aubin in the 2nd period to give the port city a chance to believe, heading home only down 2-1.
Deutsche Eishockey Liga Playoffs 2012
Quarterfinals Game 4 on Wednesday, March 28th
Berlin at Cologne, BER lead 3-0
Ingolstadt at Dusseldorf, ING lead 2-1

A 25-year-old North Side man was badly beaten with a two-by-four and robbed Sunday afternoon in Wicker Park, police said.
The man was seated on the grass about 1:30 p.m. at Wicker Park, 1425 N. Damen Ave., when a man attacked him with a two-by four – hitting him in the head and body numerous times, police said.
The victim suffered a fractured spine, fractured nose, and his right eye was swollen shut. The attacker took the victim's turquoise-colored Alpine backpack, which contained some clothing, books, and $4, police said.
A Chicago Fire Department ambulance was called and the man, of the Park West neighborhood on the city's North Side, was taken to Saint Mary's Hospital in serious but "stable" condition, police said. Police said the victim's blood alcohol level was 0.464, more than five times the legal limit for driving of 0.08.
The attacker, a 6-feet-1-inch man with a shaved head who weighs 185 pounds and is between the ages of 25 and 30, fled after the attack and was not arrested, police said.
Police learned of the incident after the victim got to the hospital, according to police.

Reliant Safety provides much more than security. In each and every Reliant-secured property, nationwide, we have become an invaluable resource for management, providing full situational awareness and becoming, in effect, partners in management.
Our Security Operation Center serves as property remote management tool that can be used by managers and owners to augment the capabilities and efficiency of on-site property staff. Utilizing Reliant Safety's methods to efficiently administer lease violations, prevent vandalism, and address security concerns frees up property staff's time to focus on the day-to-day operations of the business.
Reliant's MRT (Mobile Response Team) members, equipped with surveillance video, access control and biometric sensor data, are able to assist management in detecting lease violations and evicting unlawful tenants, and provide evidence for a wide range of non-criminal violations. Tenants become fully-accountable for their actions, and thanks to what is often indisputable video evidence they face prosecution for the most serious violations.
Reliant Safety also supports each property's employees in their day-to-day work, by identifying quality-of-life violators that interfere with operations and by protecting them from potentially false claims by tenants. In addition, management companies can take advantage of Reliant's Employee Tracking service to monitor employees' whereabouts and increase productivity.
Maintain the Value of your Property
Alongside the security operation, Reliant Safety allows property managers to maintain a higher quality property and measurably reduce recurring repair and maintenance costs. Eliminating repeated quality-of-life violators, perpetrators of vandalism, and illegal subletters, the overall quality of the property increases and tenants become to attempt such act in the future due to the known likelihood of being caught.
Protect your Employees
Employees at properties secured by Reliant Safety enjoy the benefit of being watched over, to refute claims of mistreatment or negligence by tenants, and MRT team members that available to provide enhanced physical security.
Increase Occupancy and Revenue
We have found through our experience working with hundreds of property managers across the country that compelling cost savings can be achieved at a property through the use of cameras and remote monitoring services. With video footage available, collections rates due to vandalism increase dramatically, the need for on-site security guard services decreases, and as the overall safety of the property increase so does occupancy.
