Whilst it often takes centre stage, a dining table isn't the only piece of furniture for your dining room. Extra pieces of furniture can offer storage space, surfaces to serve food and a place to display your keepsakes. More furniture can also enhance the character and style of the room, helping you achieve your perfect dining room look.
Sideboards, dressers, and wine cabinets or wine racks are all pieces of furniture you might look to invest in for your dining room. In this guide we take a look at each of these furniture pieces, and how you can find the best one to transform your dining room.
Sideboards, servers and buffets can all be considered as the same thing, with only slight variations.
Sideboards are traditionally long, low storage pieces, typically waist-high. They started life as a simple trestle table used for serving food but have since evolved to encompass a range of extras. Over time, people added storage to the table such as drawers, cupboards, wine racks and more until it finally arrived at the sideboards we recognise today.
The French coined the word buffet as a small sideboard for storing crockery and cutlery. So you could say that a buffet is just another word for a small sideboard.
Dressers (or buffet & hutch) provide even more storage and boast a display cabinet on top of the sideboard (or buffet). This is ideal for storing or displaying glassware and keepsakes as well as special crockery.
Dressers and sideboards were traditionally used in the dining room, however, they are now commonly found in kitchens, hallways and even living rooms.
Wine cabinets provide the perfect storage solution for your finest Merlots or Pinot Grigios. Bottles in a wine rack are stored on their side, which keeps the cork moist and prevents air from entering ensuring your wine stays in good condition.
A huge number of sideboards, dressers and wine cabinets are available on the market in a range of sizes, styles, colours and wood types.
Sideboards are typically low and wide, but if you don't have room to accommodate a wide sideboard, there are smaller options available. If you are looking at dressers, they are normally very tall so it's worth checking the height of your ceilings in advance to avoid disappointment. Wine cabinets are available in a number of different sizes, wine racks are integrated into wide console tables or also available as part of a tall and thin cabinet
Storage in a sideboard or dresser can come in a number of different forms. Some have cupboards with shelves behind them or some are available with drawers. Sideboards or dressers with open bottle wineracks are increasingly common and are also referred to as cellarets. Ideal if you want your dresser to double up as a bar!
Wine cabinets offer a huge amount of storage, often integrated into a large piece of furniture such as a console table or dresser. Wine racks are also available with just a little extra storage such as a single drawer – ideal for storing your corkscrew.
Dressers often have glass doors so you have the opportunity to display treasured objects that you don't want to get dusty.
Sideboards and dressers can be made from a number of different woods. Dressers are typically made from solid wood, as high quality solid wood can hold a good amount of weight. This is especially important when your dresser is stacked with the heavy weight of crockery, glasses, placemats and cutlery.
The wood type will also impact the style of the dresser or sideboard. Further in this guide take a more detailed look into how you can create your desired style with the wood type.
A new sideboard or dresser is a big investment as it is a piece of furniture that will last a long time. Most people only buy one dresser or sideboard in their lifetime, so it's important to choose wisely. Below we consider a number of questions you should ask yourself before shopping for your new dining furniture.
Consider the main purpose of your dresser, sideboard or wine cabinet. Is it for storage? If so, what exactly will you store in it? Do you need drawers or cupboard storage? How many bottles of wine does it need to accommodate? Are there things that you would like on display, in which case you might want to consider glass cupboards.
Will you use the sideboard to serve or display food? If so, it is worth considering a finish that is splash proof and relatively easy to clean. Lacquered or waxed wood makes it easier to wipe off spillages and splashes.
You should also bear in mind that as a sideboard or dresser is a long-term piece of furniture, it might find itself being used in another room.
Consider the existing furniture in your dining room. Does the sideboard or dresser match the dining table? Whilst it doesn't have to match exactly, you could use complimentary wood types to ensure a sense of cohesion. Most wooden dressers and sideboards are neutral, allowing the dining table and chairs to take centre stage in the room. But your dresser or sideboard needn't be a wallflower either, look for dressers with interesting detailing such as unique cupboard doors, eye-catching door handles or unique wood grains and knots.
Everyone has their own preferred way of shopping and this has changed radically over recent years as the variety and quality of online services improves. You may want to shop around, looking for ideas in person and then discover these options online. Some people find being able to stand in front of a physical sideboard or dresser very useful, however you will find more choice and a better deal in terms of pricing online. Make sure that wherever you purchase your furniture from accepts refunds and offers a delivery service if required.
Dressers and sideboards can help you achieve your desired dining room look. We take you through some of the more popular looks and how you can use a dresser or sideboard to achieve them.
Contemporary: If you're looking to create a modern look with your dresser or sideboard, go for sleek, clean lines and bold wood shades such as extra light or extra dark wood.
Country cottage: There's nothing like a dresser to bring a touch of country cottage to your home. Opt for neutral colours and finishes such as natural oak or pine. Or have a look at painted dressers for a more rustic or French country feel.
Traditional or antique-style: Perhaps you live in an older property with a lot of original features? In which case you might want to take a look at the darker wood dressers or sideboards such as mahogany or sheesham.
Retro/Scandinavian: If you're looking for a retro or Scandinavian feel, opt for a sideboard or dresser with rounded edges and an extremely smooth finish. Pine or walnut sideboards achieve this look well and we especially recommend the Oslo Walnut Sideboard or the Studio Oak Sideboard.
Once you have chosen your piece of furniture, don't forget to accessorise it! Sideboards, dressers and wine cabinets offer extra surface space, ideal for lights, ornaments and photo frames. You can also use a sideboard to anchor artwork on the wall, geometrically lining it up.
Dressers and sideboards are heavy and cumbersome pieces of furniture, so you want to make sure it fits your room before buying.
Take precise measurements of your room prior to shopping for your dresser or sideboard. Consider the width, depth and height of the sideboard or dresser and remember to leave room for a dining table, dining chairs and, of course, people. If the dresser or sideboard has drawers or cupboards, make sure there is enough room to open and access them. Take note of the height of your existing furniture such as your dining table and chairs.
You should plan which wall you intend to place the sideboard against before shopping. Open plan dining rooms can still accommodate sideboards as they make useful room dividers.
Take good care of your dresser, sideboard or wine cabinet and it will be a loyal piece of furniture for years to come.
We recommend re-oiling or re-waxing periodically (depending on what the item is finished with)
Clean up stains and spillages immediately
Lamps or other accessories placed on the dresser or sideboard should be moved periodically to ensure that the colouration of the furniture matures evenly and uniformly
Use a placemat to protect the surfaces from hot dishes
Consider getting a splash board fitted
Don't place drinks directly on the sideboard or dresser– use a coaster to avoid rings
Don't place sharp objects (such as keys) directly onto the sideboard or dresser to avoid scratching the surface
Don't place the dresser or sideboard too close to radiators or other sources of heat

Not For MeMy hair is wavy, not too thick/not too thin (I'm Latin) and it was severely damaged after 3 color removal procedures (Color Fix, Color Oops and Effasol...ouch!), so you can imagine the condition, lots of breakage, severe dryness, straw-like texture, and about five different colors. I tried intense deep conditioning in hopes of saving my poor hair. Everything from good quality reconstructors, masks, olive oil treatments, you name it. To cover up the mess of colors i dyed it med. ash brown. Right after the dyeing my hair, since it was more chemical damage (though the product i used promised to leave your hair in better condition) i went ahead and used this. Like the one star rating says: Yuck! that's how my hair felt. Sooo dry, awful texture, i couldn't run my hands though it, it was so tangled. No matter how many leave-in's, including Moroccan Oil (not worth the money btw) i put in my hair it would not soften at all. Now, i didn't see the word "protein" or the common protein ingredients we know: keratin, wheat, soy, milk, etc. so i don't know if any of the chemical name of the ingredients could be protein but i found out that my hair is protein sensitive, so I don't know about that. I washed my hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove this and any other product residue and used a good moisturizing conditioner, and my hair was soft again. Not saying it's a bad product, just my personal experience with it.

In Search Of...the inspiring Misty Lown
A well known dance teacher says to bullied kids - "Life gets better!"
LA CROSSE, WI (WKBT) - When you watch Misty Lown teach, you can't help but see her passion. But it's what she's most passionate about that might surprise you. "Dance is just the vehicle that I am using to get at the heart of kids."
And as owner of one of the biggest dance studios in the state, Misty has learned, the best way to get at their hearts is to open up hers. "We can do kids a real disservice if all they see is the image that things are perfect and put together for us. I think we better when we let them in our back-story and are authentic and real about our journey. Because then when they're the 12-14 year old sitting and feeling alone, they will look around and know they're not."
Misty knows what it's like to feel alone. "I remember getting teased for my size. I remember looking in the mirror and would see my peers being two full heads taller than I was so being small was something people could pick on me for. They picked on me for how I was dressed or for starting clubs. So it just seemed like in middle school every turn I made I was being picked on and not being included. Those were tough times. Middle school was not a fun time. But then when I got to high school, my parents got divorced. And I remember although they really tried to smooth out some of the adjustments, even their biggest efforts couldn't keep me from running with a bad crowd. I kind of got into a party scene. I developed some body image issues and really stopped caring about school. And that didn't feel good either. And then I felt trapped. I walked down the good road, I walked down the bad road and nothing satisfied my heart. And that was the loneliest place of all."
Misty felt invisible to the world. Until someone entered her world that truly saw her.
Diane Gebhart was the school librarian at Logan High School. "I literally remember her walking down the hallway one day and saying, 'Hey! We have a program for really smarty kids that don't get good grades,' I thought, 'I don't know if that's a compliment or not.'"22754030
The program was academic decathlon. And Miss Gebhart thought Misty was a perfect fit. Academic Decathlon is all about challenging your mind; little did Misty know it would change her heart. "There was a room in the library at Logan High School. It was Miss. Gebhart's office and she turned it over to the kids. It was a windowless office and it had nothing special about it. It had a desk and books and a couch. But because it was filled with learning and opportunity and I was being pushed to a new level with my academics, that windowless room became my window to the world. And it was from there inside that office that I felt like I could see my future for the first time. And it was great."
With one small act of compassion, Miss Gebhart gave Misty the one thing in life she desperately needed - a sense of belonging. "I just felt like the long grey was over and that sunshine had finally broken through."
"She always had charm. But now she knew how to use it," says Gebhart.
"When I graduated from Logan I was a completely different person from where I started," says Lown.
Misty married her high school sweetheart and today she is the mother of five. "Having kids is the most challenging, hilarious, joyful, crazy job that I have ever had. But I love it."
And her other job, the job of teaching and mentoring 750 kids, that is the place where she can now embrace her past, to help guide their future. "I want to speak directly to the girl who's 12, 13, 14 year-old sitting at home right now and wondering if life is going to feel like this forever. If you are always going to feel lonely and confused. I just want to tell you that it gets better. You're going to be the adult someday looking back at those years and you are going to say that your adversity was your advantage. That the rocks that could have tripped you are the things that you stepped up on. And you too are going to be able to encourage and inspire someone behind you. So hang in there. It does get better."

The Emery High Lady Spartans had their final warm-up for region basketball last week. With 4-A's Springville High in town for a preseason game, the Spartans sent them home with a convincing 57-38 loss. The game was only close for the first three and a half minutes. With Emery leading 8-6, the Spartans scored the last 12 points of the first quarter and never let the Red Devils threaten again.
Emery, who had played a tough preseason schedule not only for whom they played but also for how quickly they played them, came back from the Christmas break looking fresh and competitive. Coach Steven Gordon had this to say about his team, "I am happy with tonight's win. I hate to say this but we actually played better than I thought we might after having been off all those days."
With the score close in the first quarter, Jodie Lundell hit consecutive three-point shots to help break open the game. Lundell finished the game as the team's second leading scorer with 12 points and also came up with three steals on defense.
The second quarter saw the Spartans become a little lax on defense and a little less determined in their play as they allowed Springville to actually win the quarter 16-14 and to still be hanging around at the half.
Rachel Rasmussen led Emery with six points in the third period and helped squelch any hope the Devils had with tough interior defense. After having scored seven points in the first half, Rachel finished as the leading scorer for the night with 13 points. Rachel also finished with a team high 8 rebounds.
The fourth quarter saw liberal substitutions by both sides as it appeared that both teams just wanted to get the game over with. Lundell hit another 3-pointer in the period before she sat down for the night.
Camille Fehlberg finished the night with 11 points and 2 steals. ShiAnne Allred came close to double figures as she scored 8 points on the night but missed four of six free throw attempts. Jodi Robertson and Frankie Komar each finished the game with 4 points. Robertson also pulled down 5 rebounds in the game. Shalae Cox was efficient with her playing time as she grabbed six rebounds to go along with 2 points. Sierra Bridgewater was the only other player to score as she hit a free throw late in the game.
Coach Gordon added this about his team, "We played pretty good defense tonight. We were scrappy and seemed to keep them out of their game."
Emery now opens region play with a trip to Juan Diego this Thursday and then will host Delta and Carbon next Tuesday and Thursday in the Spartan Center.

Fourth Saturday of Lent
The Gospel according to Mark 7:31-37
At that time, Jesus returned from the region of Tyre, and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of Dekapolis. And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him. And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue; and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened." And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well: he even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."

About biographical information
Sum any set of rows by clicking anywhere (not red or blue) on the
first and last rows of your selection. We will then compute the
totals for the player between and including those two seasons.
Default Setting for this feature: Turn On / Turn Off
Summation of season totals only works for the initial case when the table is in year order. On a sorted table the results may get a bit goofy.
HIGHLIGHTING: Adding a range or series of player's career seasons or career game numbers (like '#1972:batting_standard', '#1970-1980-sum:batting_standard', or '#1998,1999,2001,2002,sum:pitching_standard') onto the end of a player page url causes the seasons to the highlighted and summed. After changing address bar, reload the page to see highlighting. This will work even in links e-mailed to others. Note that for tables with multiple pages the first table is the default. If you want to create a sum for a table other than the first one, select the rows and after the summation window appears click on "permanent link" link.

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
Emery County Archives open house was held Oct. 28-29 from noon until 5 p.m. on the second floor of the old Emery County Courthouse. Dottie Grimes is the curator. Quite a number of people came from Emery County to see what was in the Archives. Richard and Diane Morley came from Price to take a tour of the Archives. Some others on the tour were James Nielsen, Gary and Glenna Kofford, Laurie Pitchforth, and Marilyn and Phil Fauver.
During the Archive tour a discussion of how old photos, histories and donated antique items were preserved, was presented by Grimes. The cabinets where oral and written histories of Emery County residents were opened for investigation by the visitors. Many old photographs of early homes and people were on display.
In the Archives there are many maps, photos, oral and written histories of present and former residents of Emery County.
The Montell Seeley display was prominent with its display of photos, books and journals.
The Emery County Progress newspapers are stored here from the late 1800s to the present covering many shelves. These collections in the Archives and the Emery County Progress on file are great resources for genealogists looking for information about Emery County residents and history.
The Archives are normally open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from noon until 5 p.m. The Emery County Archives is always on the search for historical photos and information concerning Emery County.
Donations are always accepted. If you have suffered the loss of a loved one and don't know what to do with their historic photos or letters and items, you can make a donation to the Emery County Archives.

One of the best shoes I've bought
"I have been looking for the perfect shoe for walking. I like to take long walks and usually end up with sore feet. Needless to say, I have been buying lots of shoes recently trying to alleviate the pain. I had a pair of Skechers years ago that I loved so I decided to give them another try. Best decision! I can walk on all the trails and my feet feel great.I also do charity work that requires me to be on my feet all day. Once it is all over, my feet feel just fine. I would definitely recommend these shoes to everybody. Don't spend tons of money on all the other high dollar name brands. Stick to Skechers and your feet will thank you for it!"

"I started having some knee pain. I went to a doctor who suggested doing plyometrics with very worn shoes could be a part of the problem. So, I read lots of online reviews and chose these shoes. They are, without a doubt, the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn."

The Cisco Unity Message Repository (UMR), built into Cisco Unity 3.x and later, allows outside callers to leave messages for users when their primary Exchange server is offline. Messages are temporarily stored on the Cisco Unity server in the \CommServer\unityMta directory and can be accessed through a special UMR conversation. When the primary Exchange server comes back online, Cisco Unity begins to pass the messages as normal into the correct message store.
Readers of this document should have a general understanding of how Cisco Unity works. For further information, refer to White Paper: Cisco Unity Data Architecture and How Cisco Unity Works (Version 3.x) Overview.
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
Cisco Unity 3.0 or later with Microsoft Exchange
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
For more information on document conventions, refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.
The UMR feature allows Cisco Unity to take outside caller messages while there is a problem with an Exchange server. UMR handles changes depending on which Exchange server goes offline:
If Cisco Unity's primary Exchange server goes offline, all subscribers hear the UMR conversation.
If an Exchange server with off-server subscribers goes offline, only those subscribers with mailboxes on the off-line Exchange server hear the UMR conversation, while subscribers on other servers have regular message access.
Note: Subscribers that have regular access, those not affected by an outage, can leave a message for a subscriber whose Exchange server is offline by calling voicemail, logging in, and pressing #2. However, these messages are handled exclusively by Exchange and not the UMR. Therefore, subscribers are not able to access these messages until Exchange comes back online.
If a subscriber calls into Cisco Unity while an Exchange server is offline and they hear the UMR conversation, they are only able to listen to outside caller messages that they have received during the server outage. These messages are stored temporarily on the Cisco Unity server in the \CommServer\UnityMTA directory and not Exchange, therefore, only messages in the temporary area are accessible while the user's primary Exchange server is offline. The user hears the message and a timestamp but is not able to delete, reply to, forward, or leave messages for other subscribers. Since Exchange is offline, subscribers are not able to access any messages that existed on the Exchange server before the outage.
While Exchange is offline, if a subscriber directly dials another subscriber's extension and is then forwarded to Cisco Unity, Cisco Unity handles this call the same as an outside caller. Once forwarded to Cisco Unity, subscribers are able to leave messages for other subscribers, but these messages are only available in the UMR. These messages are not identified as subscriber-to-subscriber messages, and there is not an option to reply to the message, even after Exchange comes back online and the message is in the regular voice mailbox. Depending on the phone system and its integration after the outage, these calls may have the subscriber's extension as the caller ID information in the subject line when viewed in ViewMail for Outlook (VMO).
Cisco Unity quickly detects when a server goes down but takes longer to determine when a server comes back online. This is partly due to the Exchange services having long startup times, which delay the server from coming back online. During this in-between time, subscribers may hear the failsafe conversation instead of the UMR conversation, or the regular conversation when they call Cisco Unity (noted in Cisco bug ID CSCdu13936 (registered customers only) ). Similarly, subscribers may hear the failsafe conversation if they are listening to a message in the UMR as their Exchange server comes back online (noted in Cisco bug ID CSCdu25943 (registered customers only) ). Subscribers have to wait until Cisco Unity can access their regular mailbox before hearing the regular conversation. Also, since there may be a backlog of messages in the UMR, Cisco Unity may take several minutes to move the messages from the local UMR to the appropriate Exchange server, even though subscribers can call in and get the regular conversation.
When Cisco Unity moves messages from the UMR to the Exchange server, all messages show up as new even if they were listened to using the UMR conversation, and trigger Message Waiting Indicators (MWIs). Messages contain a new timestamp with the time they were delivered by Exchange. This can result in a message having two different timestamps; one while it's in the UMR and another one after delivery by Exchange (noted in Bug ID CSCdu04991 (registered customers only) )
MWIs may not correctly indicate message status when Exchange is offline. MWIs may be lit from messages that arrived while the Exchange server was up, however, with Exchange down, subscribers are not able to access them. Also, Cisco Unity does not light MWIs for messages that arrived during an outage and are in the UMR. Subscribers must call in and check to see if they have messages waiting for them.
The number of UMR messages that Cisco Unity handles during an Exchange outage is limited by available hard disk space. Specifically, the space available in the C:\Commserver\UnityMTA directory. This directory is controlled by a registry setting, which can be found here:
HKLM\software\active voice\UnityUMR\1.0\MtaStoragePath
During an Exchange outage messages to distribution lists, such as the Unaddressed Messages distribution list, appear in the UMR but are addressed to the distribution list and not to the members of the distribution list, since lists are not expanded while in the UMR. Therefore, subscribers are not able to access them until they are expanded and delivered by Exchange.
Before Cisco Unity delivers messages from the UMR, the Exchange server that the messages are destined for must be back online and ready to receive messages. There are times when messages may continue to accumulate in the UMR, even after all of the Exchange-related issues appear to be worked out.
If administrators notice that messages are not being delivered from the local UMR directory, usually C:\Commserver\UnityMTA, even after the Exchange servers are all back online, troubleshoot the problem by restarting the UMR service to trigger the message delivery. This is accomplished by accessing AvUMRSyncSvr from the Services Control Panel. The UMR message delivery may take about three minutes to start after the server comes back online.
Check the Event Log for messages that confirm the Exchange server is back online. You should see messages listed in the Windows Event Viewer similar to the two examples shown below. If these messages are not in the Event Log, there are still problems with the Exchange server that are preventing Cisco Unity from sending messages to it.
Event Type: Information Event Source: AvWM_MC Event Category: Warning Event ID: 29002 Computer: MCH-UNITY Description: MCH-UNITY has come back online Event Type: Warning Event Source: AvExchangeMonitor_MC Event Category: Run Event ID: 1020 Computer: MCH-UNITY Description: Server MCH-UNITY is back on-line. Resyncing mailboxes.
If there is an invalid message file or a message for a subscriber with an invalid account (for example, an invalid homeserver in SQL) in the UMR, it blocks delivery of all other messages. The AvUMRSyncSvr service delivers messages in first-in, first-out (FIFO) order. If the recipient of an earlier message has an invalid configuration, or the home server is online but is not accepting messages, the remaining messages are not delivered. Outlook is useful to use in checking to see if a subscriber's address is configured properly. If an Outlook message cannot be delivered to the subscriber, then the UMR is not able to deliver the message either. Either remove the message from the UMR, or correct the problem with the subscriber's account.
For messages that are delivered from the UMR but are not appearing in subscribers' voice mailboxes, use Exchange's Message Transfer Agent (MTA) tools to check for messages that are stuck in Exchange's queue. The steps below explain how to use the MTA tools for Exchange 2000 and Exchange 5.5.
Use this procedure to use the MTA tool for Exchange 2000:
Start the System Manager by selecting Start > Programs > Microsoft Exchange > System Manager.
From the Console tree, double-click Server.
Right-click on a server of your choosing and select Properties.
From the General tab, select Enable message tracking to log information about the sender, the time the message was sent or received, message size, priority, and recipients.
From the General tab, select Enable subject logging to record the subject of any message sent to, from, or through the server.
Note: This is only available for Exchange 2000 servers.
Use this procedure to track messages on Exchange 2000:
Open the Exchange System Manager.
From the Console tree, double-click Tools and select Message Tracking Center.
Right click in the right pane and then click Track Message.
Use the Search tool to help diagnose messaging problems and find any messages that Cisco Unity may have sent to Exchange but Exchange was unable to deliver. Once you find a message, get more information about the message by clicking the Details and Message History buttons.
Use this procedure to use the MTA tool for Exchange 5.5:
Start the Exchange Administrator by selecting Start > Programs > Exchange > Microsoft Exchange Administrator.
From the Console tree, double-click the site which contains the Cisco Unity server.
Double-click Servers.
Click on the server where you want to monitor messages.
From the right side of the window, double-click Message Transfer Agent and click the Queues tab.
The Message Transfer Agent properties page lists all of the messages waiting in Exchange's queue. Look for messages that Cisco Unity has sent to Exchange but Exchange has not delivered.
You may notice that messages are getting delivered to the "unaddressedmessages" alias. This happens when either the message is addressed to an alias that no longer exists, or has an invalid configuration. Use Outlook and Exchange tools to troubleshoot any problematic address within Exchange and to determine the root cause.
For most UMR issues, especially if the UMR is not delivering messages from the local UMR directory, usually C:\Commserver\UnityMTA, and even after the Exchange servers are all back online, restart the UMR service to trigger the message delivery. This can be accomplished by accessing AvUMRSyncSvr from the Services Control Panel. Cisco Unity and Exchange may delay up to five minutes before message delivery from the UMR begins.
As the Exchange server comes back online and Cisco Unity resynchronizes with the server, subscribers may hear a failsafe conversation instead of either the UMR or the regular conversation when calling into Cisco Unity (noted in Cisco bug ID CSCdu13936 (registered customers only) ). Subscribers may hear the failsafe conversation if they are listening to a message in the UMR as their Exchange server comes back online (noted in Cisco bug ID CSCdu25943 (registered customers only) ). The subscriber must wait until Cisco Unity is able to access their message store again in order to hear the regular conversation.

Skip to comments.Boehner Says He Can't Take a Stand on the Issues Because It Makes His Job Harder
Posted on 07/22/2013 11:54:56 AM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas
Asked repeatedly if he favors a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal aliens, Boehner told CBS's "Face the Nation" that his job is not to take a stand, but to let the House "work its will."
(Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"
Boehner is a poor excuse for leadership. He needs to go as speaker.
See post #1
Want an easy job? Go do something else!
Interesting. I always heard the House is to operate as a dictatorship and the Senate is to allow the voice of the minority.
Seems they may be swapping places.
So, leadership is to vote present ONLY so that no one will think you have a bias one way or the other ... isn't that the same modus opernedi of little barry bastard boy now running the White Hut regime?
Boehner = POS coward.
I bet somewhere buried in his medical records it shows that years ago Boehner was a spine donor.
Yeah, heaven forbid a politician show principles and leadership.
He's the poorest excuse for a Speaker and a man I've ever seen! Much as I loathe her, I have to say Pelosi was more of a man than Boehner is! Unfortunately, she managed to accomplish a lot in her tenure as Speaker. What has he done?
..and he's probably a piss poor bartender to boot!
Anybody ask the bastard what the F he thinks HIS JOB is?
Dirty corrupt, backstabbing bastard!
He reminds me of the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz.
God help us....
Really, Lord, we mean it : /
: )
Oh, Boehner is following Obama in leading from behind.
"...I don't know what to do oo oooo.Seventy percent of Americans don't want Odungocare, between 70-80 percent of Americans don't want amnesty. Odungo's popularity is tanking, scandals galore,..and I don't know what to dooooo... Nancy and Harry won't give me anymore stock infomation, they've been so good to me..*sniff sniff*"
..here's a hint moron, listen to the American people and wipe your nose and get the snot off your chin
"Sorry but I can't fly you out of here to hospital. I have to pre-flight first and it'll only make my job harder if I also have to transport you too".
Who do you represent in the House, Boehner? "The Will Of The House"? Is that who elected you?
Keep the calls up! It sounds like he's backing off of a House bill.
Leading from behind!
When I worked at IBM we said that the first thing they did when you became a manager is remove the spine, so it won't hurt so much when they stick your head up your....
It hasn't been that way since the 17th Amendment was ratified.
Anybody ask the bastard what the F he thinks HIS JOB is?"
1) Collecting $236,000.00/yr salary
2) Collecting free drinks
3) collecting free meals in 5 star restaurants.
4) Collecting $1,500,000 salary as a lobbyist, when we throw him out.
Eventually, collecting a $160,000 yr pension (if there is still a country left to pay it)
You know, I may not always be a good leader, but at least I am generally smart enough to figure an issue out over several decades enough to get it right. And then I'll take a stand.
This is one clueless person. Why is he in a leadership position in the first place. This is when he should be leading the way. Instead we have the Obama model playing out, leading from behind.
This guy IS one big fat behind IMO.
John McCain discusses amnesty, then heads out to the Rose
Garden to fertilize.
That lying asshole is 100% for amnesty.
The difference is Pilate wasn't being blackmailed with info gained from the NSA. People do stupid things when they're drunk.
Good one!
"Why is he in a leadership position in the first place?"
Because he is an enabler? We can't have anyone with principles in those kind of positions ya know : |
Dear Lord, hear our prayers.
At least he doesn't lead like Obama does - with his behind.
well, now at least this fine gentleman has made it clear what the problem is
"My job in this -- in this process is to facilitate a discussion and to facilitate a process so the American people can see what we're doing...."
Yeah, thet's why they meet behind closed doors.
Ah John Boner.
Reminds me of a line from a movie called Wonderland about John Holmes.
The line went something like "Thirteen inches of c*ck and no balls."
Sounds just like our non-speaker.
maybe Obamacare, which he failed to block, will provide "free" spine transplants for CongressCritters
" "My job in this — in this process is to facilitate a discussion and to facilitate a process so the American people can see what we're doing...."
Yeah, thet's why they meet behind closed doors. "
LOL....well done, 4 D.
I wonder if we have a whole cadre of psychologists on staff in the House, so people can get right with the psychobabblers before they make a move. That would sure answer a lot of questions.
The word "worthless" comes immediately to mind...
...followed by several others which, because I'm a polite gentleman (as most of you well know...cough...choke...urk) I will not give voice to.
Yep. "And we'll pass it in small bites, so we can sneak stuff by you..., well er a..., I mean so you can know exactly what we're doing"
Fingers crossed behind back!
Being absolutely unable to rid ourselves of a "Leader" like Boehner is what is wrong with the Republican party. If we can't even get rid of a pathetic excuse for a leader as this then it is no wonder the party is a failure.
Such a gentleman....
And he wants a bill because?
1) He wants senate Dems and RINOs to s***-can it.
2) He wants to go to conference.
Oh go ahead. Give voice too...
I don't want to be the only one! :^)
Oh go ahead. Give voice to...
I don't want to be the only one! :^)

Time seems to pass by so quickly. It seems like only last week that the theme of my recipes would occasionally have to do with outdoor grilling. And now we are in a serious countdown to one of the best culinary holidays of the year, Thanksgiving.
Each week now, until Thanksgiving, I'll be giving you some tips and recipes to help you make your holiday celebration the finest ever. Even though Thanksgiving lends itself to serving some of the same family favorites year after year, most of us are looking for a couple of new dishes, or improvements on our standards.
Let's begin this week with a recipe for our first course, soup. The nice thing about soup is that we can serve it for our Thanksgiving dinner, and we can serve it all winter long. We can make our soup three or more days in advance, refrigerating or freezing until we need it. There is no reason to use store-bought soup when it is so easy to make your own.
Just like any recipe be sure to gather all your ingredients together fully prepared for cooking, slicing, dicing measuring etc., and layout all the utensils you're going to need.
Ham and Spinach Tomato SoupServes 12
1 Tbl vegetable oil1 pound ham, buy a pound of your favorite ham at your deli counter and have it sliced thick, lay it out on your cutting board and chop it until it is minced2 medium yellow onions, small dice4 cloves garlic, crushed8 oz fresh baby spinach, minced1 1/2 Tbl fresh thyme, chopped2 Tbl fresh parsley, chopped1 28 oz can diced tomatoes with juice7 cups chicken stock, low sodium2 cups beef broth, low sodium6 cups red potatoes, small dice1 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper1 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce,(use more if your personal taste allows) salt to taste
Place your beef and chicken stock in a large pot and begin to heat, while this is heating take your soup pot and begin to cook your onions.
Heat the oil in a large heavy soup pot, add the onions and sweat until they are soft and translucent, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic for the last two minutes while cooking the onions.
Add the ham and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Add the spinach and toss continuously until wilted. Add the herbs and tomatoes with juice, hot stock, and red potatoes. Bring this to a simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until potatoes become just tender. Stir in the black pepper and Tabasco.
Taste and determine if you need to add any salt, if you do, add some now to your own personal pleasure.

Sigma Wide-angle Zoom lenses for Nikon DSLRs
Zoom lenses with a focal range below 50mm are known as wide-angle zooms. Like wide angle prime lenses with fixed focal lengths, these capture bigger views than normal lenses, which is useful whether you're trying to photograph a large building from inside or out, a sweeping landscape view, or even just a big group shot. They're invaluable when you can't step back any further.
By squeezing more into your photos, wide angle zooms inevitably have greater distortion, especially towards the edges. This may not be noticeable on natural landscapes, but can appear unflattering on portrait shots unless the person (or people) are placed in the middle of the frame. That said, this effect can also produce pleasing results and be used to exaggerate perspective – a popular wide angle technique is to get very close to a foreground subject so it appears large compared to the background. Wide angle zooms also have a large depth of field, which means it's easier to get lots in sharp focus from close-up to far away.
28mm is the most common wide angle focal length and can produce quite natural-looking results. Focal lengths above this approach a more standard view, while shorter focal lengths produce wider results. A wide-angle zoom will generally cover a variety of focal lengths from modest wide to ultra wide, giving you greater flexibility than a fixed focal length prime lens.
As always, bear in mind any reduction in field due to your DSLRs sensor when choosing a lens. Nikon's DX-format models have a reduction factor of 1.5x. So if you'd like coverage equivalent to 18-36mm, you'll need to fit them with a 12-24mm lens. Lenses with smaller f-numbers gather more light thanks to their bigger apertures, which makes them better in dim conditions and for minimising the depth-of-field. Bigger apertures however mean a larger, heavier and more expensive lens. Note: Sigma's DC lenses are not compatible with full-frame FX-format DSLRs. For a full explanation of lens specifications and examples of coverage at different focal lengths, check out our Camera Labs Lens Buyers Guide.

Taylor Goodley had a huge night for the Eldorado girls' basketball team, scoring 20 points and leading three other players in double figures as the Eagles stormed past Galatia 76-25.
Paige Zertuche put up 19 points, while Ashton Unthank and Erica Graczyk each had 12 points.
Eldorado shot 47 percent from the field (52 percent on 2-point field goals), leading head coach Josh Bradley to compliment his team's performance.
"We came out tonight and shot the ball really well," Bradley said. "We boxed out and rebounded well, which allowed us to run the break and get some good looks at the bucket. Everybody was ready to shoot when the ball got passed their way and because they were ready we knocked most of them down."
Eldorado opened up with a 21-5 first quarter lead and led 42-9 at halftime. Eldorado would go on to outscore Galatia 17-2 in the third period.
As for Goodley's performance, Bradley said her, along with Unthank just kept knocking down looks. However, overall, it was a good confidence-boosting night for a lot of girls.
"It was really nice to see Zertuche come out of a little early season shooting slump tonight scoring 19, it was big for her confidence and our team going in to the second half of the season. Graczyk added 12 points for us and was really aggressive on the offensive boards. Again, it was really nice to see our kids come focused on the task at hand and pick up our 10th win."
The Eldorado junior varsity team knocked off Galatia 52-10 Thursday night and improved to 9-0 on the season.
Brittany Peavler scored a team-high 14 points, while Lacy Jo Bradley knocked in nine points. Abby Steed and Dresdyn Bramlett each added eight points. Riley Duckworth tacked on five points, while Caitlyn Stafford and Jacquelyn Artman each finished with four points.

In the early 1820's, Reverend William Ferry, a Protestant Missionary, built Mission House to house and teach Indian children. A few years later, he established Mission Church, one of the first Protestant churches in the Midwest.
The southeast end of Mackinac Island thus became known as Mission Point. During the 1950's, The Moral Re-Armament became involved on the island upon the invitation of the Governor of Michigan. The MRA was a multi-national group, who, led by Dr. Frank Buchman, promoted the philosophy of love, unselfishness, purity and honesty in a worldwide evangelistic campaign. It was the ideological alternative to the post World War II spread of Communistic influence.
Groundbreaking ceremonies began in 1954 and construction soon began on what was to become the MRA's World Conference Center. The Theater was the first building constructed. Fifty-foot trusses made of Norway Pine from nearby Bois Blanc Island supported the roof and 45 tons of native stone formed the original building. Construction on what is now called Straits Lodge and Main Lodge began in the Fall of 1955, with the large trusses for the Great Hall being raised in early 1956.
The Main Lobby is one of the most distinctive architectural structures on the Island. Nine-ton majestic trusses, converging at a height of 36 feet, resemble a 16-sided tepee. This structure fulfills the Indian prophecy that "Someday, on the east end of the Island, a great tepee will be erected. All nations will come there and learn about peace."
In 1957, the building, which is now Straits Lodge was completed. Its lobby, known as Johnson Hall, is a prime example of skilled wood craftsmanship and has a five-foot marble encased fireplace as the focal point. The movie production Sound Stage was constructed in 1958. At that time it was the second largest of its type in the world. Universal Studios leased the Sound Stage for the 1979 summer season to produce the motion picture "Somewhere in Time" starring Christopher Reeve (Superman) and Jane Seymour. The entire cast and crew were hosted at the resort, then "The Inn on Mackinac."
The MRA relocated its operation to Switzerland and deeded much of the property to an organization known as Mackinac College in 1966. This educational institute attempted to develop programs in statesmanship and leadership, as well as more traditional curricula. Mackinac College operated for four years and graduated one class, then closed.
In 1970, the entire college was sold to a then well-known evangelist, Rex Humbard, who reopened the facility as a religious retreat and educational institution. It was terminated in 1972 and the Humbard organization began to use the property as a vacation resort. In 1977 the property was sold to a Dallas-based management and investment firm, which changed the name to Mackinac Hotel and Conference Center.
The property was sold in late 1987 and renamed Mission Point Resort by a successful Detroit businessman. He renamed the property to reflect back into history when this part of the Island housed one of the first churches and the Mission House, an historical landmark which still stands on the property.
Extensive changes over the years had brought out the best in these unique structures. Casual elegance was applied to every aspect of the resort, and Mission Point Resort gained the reputation as the "friendly and casual" hotel and resort option on Mackinac Island.
In December of 2014, Dennert and Suzanne Ware of Texas purchased Mission Point Resort with an immediate plan of a multi-million dollar upgrade plan for the 2015 and 2016 seasons, and the intent of ongoing improvements for years to come.

Local scouts from the Buckhorn District along with young women from the county tried their luck at geocaching near the Buckhorn Reservoir. Scout leader Eldon Holmes led the efforts to put this event together. He along with some older scouts hid the caches for the scouts to find. Most of the stashs included Halloween candy in decorative bags. They also dashed for cash in a contest to find hidden money. Scouts received the coordinates from Holmes and they punched them into their GPS machines and they were on their way. Caches were hidden in the rock cliffs near the Buckhorn Reservoir. After the treasure hunting the group had dinner and seemed to enjoy the fall weather in the Swell. Their next activity will be a turkey shoot on Nov. 3.
Wikipedia explains the art of geocaching: Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a global positioning system (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value. Today, well over 440,000 geocaches are registered on various websites devoted to the sport. Geocaches are currently placed in 222 countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica.
Similar to the 150-year-old letterboxing, which uses references to landmarks and clues embedded in stories, geocaching was made possible by the removal of selective availability from GPS on May 1, 2000. The first documented placement of a GPS-located cache place on May 3, 2000, by Dave Ulmer of Beavercreek, Ore. The location was posted on the Usenet newsgroup sci.geo.satellite-nav [1]. By May 6, 2000, it had been found twice and logged once (by Mike Teague of Vancouver, Wash.).
The activity was originally referred to as GPS stash hunt or GPS stashing. This was changed after a discussion in the GPS stash discussion group at eGroups (now Yahoo!). On May 30, 2000, Matt Stum suggested that "stash" could have negative connotations, and suggested instead "geocaching."
For the traditional geocache, a geocacher will place a waterproof container, containing a log book (with pen or pencil) and trinkets or some sort of treasures, then note the cache's coordinates. These coordinates, along with other details of the location, are posted on a website. Other geocachers obtain the coordinates from the Internet and seek out the cache using their GPS handheld receivers. The finding geocachers record their exploits in the logbook and online. Geocachers are free to take objects from the cache in exchange for leaving something of similar or higher value, so there is treasure for the next person to find.
Typical cache treasures are not high in monetary value but may hold intrinsic value to the finder. Aside from the logbook, common cache contents are unusual coins or currency, small toys, ornamental buttons, CDs, or books. Also common are objects that are moved from cache to cache, such as Travel Bugs or Geocoins, whose travels may be logged and followed online. Occasionally, higher value items are included in geocaches, normally reserved for the "first finder", or in locations which are harder to reach.
Geocaches can range in size from "microcaches," too small to hold anything more than a tiny paper log, to those placed in five-gallon buckets or even larger containers.
If a geocache has been vandalized or stolen, it is said to have been "muggled" or "plundered." The former term plays off the fact that those not familiar with geocaching are called "geo-muggles" or just muggles, a term borrowed from the Harry Potter series of books.
If a cacher discovers that a cache has been muggled, it can be logged as needing maintenance, which sends an e-mail to the cache owner so it can be repaired, replaced, or archived (deactivated).
There are many types of caches. Some are easy enough to be called "drive-bys," "park 'n' grabs", or "cache and dash." Others are very difficult, including staged multi-caches; there are even examples of caches underwater, up a tree, after long offroad drives, on high mountain peaks, on the Antarctic continent, and above the Arctic Circle. Different geocaching websites choose to list different variations as per their own policies (e.g., Geocaching.com does not list new Webcam, virtual, locationless, or moving geocaches).
Variations of geocaches include:
* Traditional: This is the basic cache type. It is a container with a log book (at minimum) found at its listed set of coordinates and usually trade items.
* Night Cache: These traditional caches can only be found at night and involve following a series of reflectors with a flashlight to the final cache location.
* Event Cache: This is a cache located at a gathering attended by geocachers. Caches placed at events are often temporarily placed for the event date only. This term is also used to describe the gathering itself.
* Cache-In Trash-Out (CITO) Events: This is a variation on event caching. Geocachers gather to clean up the trash in the area to improve the environment as a coordinated activity.
* Letterbox hybrid: A letterbox hybrid cache is a combination of a geocache and a letterbox in the same container. A letterbox has a rubber stamp and a logbook instead of tradable items. Letterboxers carry their own stamp with them, to stamp the letterbox's log book and inversely stamp their personal log book with the letterbox stamp. The hybrid cache contains the important materials for this and may or may not include trade items. Whether the letterbox hybrid contains trade items is up to the owner.
* Locationless/reverse: This variation is similar to a scavenger hunt. A description is given for something to find, such as a one-room schoolhouse, and the finder locates an example of this object. The finder records the location using their GPS handheld receiver and often takes a picture at the location showing the named object and his or her GPS receiver. Typically others are not allowed to log that same location as a find.
* Moving/traveling: Similar to a traditional geocache, this variation is found at a listed set of coordinates. The finder uses the log book, trades trinkets, and then hides the cache in a different location. By updating this new location on the listing, the finder essentially becomes the hider, and the next finder continues the cycle.
* Multi-cache: This cache consists of multiple caches. These caches are one or more intermediate points containing the coordinates for the next or final cache, that contains the log book and trade items.

Woman's 'Booty-Call Ninja' Scheme Backfires
Katherine M. Casarez apparently has some sort of "issue" with her former lovahhh. When the ex called her up early Friday morning in search of some of her special sexual stylings, she allegedly dressed up in her ninja suit and went over to his place—but not alone (dun dun dun).
Casarez, 29, of Joliet, Illinois, brought along another man—who also dressed up as a ninja. When they arrived at the ex's place, Casarez texted that guy and told him to come meet her in the alley. We would have been very suspicious of this request! But the ex was not, and complied. Then things got exciting:
As the man walked to Casarez's car, a masked man jumped out and hit him in the head with nunchuks, police said. Casarez then grabbed nunchuks of her own and hit the man on the head with them as well.
While investigating the crime scene, police found two throwing stars, including one stuck into a telephone poll [sic].
Because the ex was sexting with and expecting Casarez at the time of the ninja attack, it was very easy for him and police to identify her as the most likely suspect. She now faces aggravated domestic battery, aggravated battery, unlawful use of a weapon and armed violence charges. Her accomplice, however, remains on the loose. Perhaps he will try to attack one of his own ex-lovahhs, using this success-guaranteed scheme—or run off to Pittsburgh and seek anonymity in the Steel City's ninja-infested streets.

This Just In ...
Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
Where is Mike Zimmerman looking now for his stadium?
Franklin is in Rock Sports Complex CEO Mike Zimmerman's rear-view mirror now that city leaders have made it abundantly clear they don't want his minor league baseball stadium. Zimmerman told Sean Ryan of the Milwaukee Business Journal he now has his sights set on Oak Creek, Cudahy, Greenfield, Menomonee Falls, and Milwaukee County park properties as potential alternative sites for a Frontier League franchise.
The #1 choice now that Franklin has said no is East College and South Pennsylvania avenues in Oak Creek. The 62-acre location is vacant.
For Zimmerman, it's a race against the clock. Construction needs to start this month if the new ballpark is to be ready for the 2015 season.
"It's going to be a bit of a Hail Mary pass to get this thing done," Zimmerman admits.
As for Franklin, even though Zimmerman has said the city's deal is dead, Craig Haskins is trying to revive negotiations. Haskins is chairman of the ineffective Forward Franklin development committee.
"You don't take a $100 million development and knock that down just based on one set of unknowns. If they want to just give up on it, it'll go away, which is somewhat of a common thing in Franklin," Haskins told the Business Journal.
No kidding.
Mayor Steve Olson also talked with the paper, saying his focus is on new business and industrial parks. He believes retail is a tough sell due to Southridge Mall being so close.
"I am absolutely not discouraging any retail, but I do think retail will come when retailers can justify it to themselves," said Olson.
