itunes always asking for password
Hello all
First of all my apologies for my first post being one asking for your help, hopefully i can return the favor one day.
So, we bought my dad an ipad 2 and he has upgraded the software to ios 6 (i think that's the one)
Today i set him up an itunes account and loaded it with 15 to buy some apps.
He tried to download a free app and every time you click to install the app a pop up comes up, which says "for added security please set up 3 security questions" the options on the box are "not now" or "continue" (not now causes you to stop the install)
So, we click continue and another pop up box asks for his itunes password, we put this in and after a few seconds the same box comes up, again and again and again....
We know his itunes account set up correctly and active as he has the confirmation emails, it also shows he has money on the account...
A quick google and it seems others are having the same problem.
We have done the things that some have said (log out of itunes, powerdown the ipad, wait, power back up and sign back in)
This has not worked.
Going back to the security questions my dad has not answered any, nor did i when i set his itunes account up....
Any help would be most appreciated.....
Many thanks
itunes always asking for password
Set up the questions and then try again also make sure your password is correct with the correct capitols etc

Re: itunes always asking for password
It also does not give you the option to answer or set up the questions......it just loops the password over and over......type password hit enter.......box pops up again....type password hit enter.......etc etc
Password is being typed in correctly.....i proved this by typing it in incorrectly and got the wrong password message.....
Thanks for your reply though..
- - - Updated - - -
It only pops up the password box when you try to install an app.......it wont let you past this password stage...
From the research i have done it seems a few people have this problem after upgrading the ipad 2 ios to the latest version......

Re: itunes always asking for password
Lets hope that syncing it with the pc and setting up the questions sorts it out......
No i used a gift card to put some credit on the account....
The confirmation emails setting up the account were all fine and came through within minutes, there was no "verify" link either....
I am quite computer literate but the ipad and itunes set up seems to be a tad annoying with no explanations for its constant request for a password when installing my dads first ever app lol
itunes always asking for password
Good call I think even thou you have a gift card on file you still need to debit card

You don't need to have a credit or rebut card anymore. Just set up an account for one of my kids and there is a choice for none.

Re: itunes always asking for password
Just an update in case any one else has this problem...
Installed itunes on dads desktop
Plugged his ipad into it and did the sync thing...
Downloaded his apps onto the desktop with no problems and then just dragged them across to his ipad....
Its not an ideal solution, but its a work around for now......
ipad still asks for his password everytime we try to download an app and will not progress any further except to ask for his password again....
Lets hope if it is a latest ios upgrade problem that they sort it out......
Thanks for all the help people....

Re: itunes always asking for password
Another update
I went down to my dads yesterday to try another fix (altering the year to 2013 and then back again, dont ask me how or why it works but it did for some)
So i fired up the ipad and tryed one last time to download an app without it constantly looping on the password screen
Guess what, the 3 security questions came up, were answered and now alls well with the ipad.
Maybe Apple did a stealth fix for this problem?

The accounting program at WVC prepares students for career positions in practical accounting. Students who complete one year of studies at the 100 level or higher will earn an accounting technician certificate, which prepares them for entry-level jobs. The two-year associate of technical sciences degree in accounting prepares students for mid-level jobs, including supervisory positions. Program courses can also help students better manage their own personal finances. Many students elect to continue working toward a four-year accounting degree -- or to start their own small businesses. Many of the courses required for the ATS degree transfer to baccalaureate institutions.Students must work closely with their advisers to ensure proper course sequencing and choice.
In the WVC accounting program, students learn accounting theory and principles as well as such techniques as posting and journalizing, balancing assets and liabilities, preparing statements and estimating net worth. It also teaches communication and human relations skills, managerial accounting, business principles and practices, computer applications, spreadsheets, algebra and computerized accounting, as well as payroll and business taxes.
Note: This degree option is for students who intend to work in the bookkeeping/accounting profession after two years of study, or for those currently employed who seek additional training. Students with the immediate goal of completing a four-year degree in accounting should seek the business transfer (associate of arts and sciences) option.
To be eligible for the associate degree or certificate, students must earn at least a "C" grade (2.0) in all core program courses and a cumulative 2.0 grade point average. Core program courses may have prerequisite requirements. English and mathematics courses require qualifying assessment scores or acceptable preparatory coursework in those subjects. See the course descriptions for details.
The accounting program is offered on the Wenatchee and Omak campuses.

What are the bare essentials an artist needs to live in New York? In this film, artist Tommy Hartung ventures out from his home and studio in Ridgewood, Queens to meet up with two friends—fellow artists Ronnie Bass and Georgia Sagri—in nearby Bushwick, Brooklyn. Along the way, Hartung chronicles his own path to becoming an artist: working as a cook out of high school, deciding to attend college to study art, and finding cost-effective places to live and make his work. Taking the subway to Bass's home and studio to play chess, Hartung describes his admittedly "cheapskate" social life—nights in with friends and whiskey, nights out at gallery openings. Making New York his home since the mid-2000s, Hartung shares how he's developed a calculus for surviving and succeeding as an artist in the city. Featuring scenes from Hartung's A Short History of the Canon (2007), Bass's Our Land (2006), and Sagri's 100%ad (sleep cat) (2010).
Tommy Hartung (b. 1979, Akron, Ohio, USA) lives and works in Queens, New York.

Start-up incubators around Boston
In the startup world, accelerator and incubator are often used interchangeably, but that's not exactly accurate. Typically, an incubator is a slower-paced environment where more (or total) ownership is held by the incubating group, complete with external management resources such as accounting and marketing, while an accelerator is often shorter terms (anywhere from just a weekend to a few months) with mentors made available, but not generally given any executive power.
Pictured: Afjal Wahidi and other Northeastern students took part in a session on how to pitch an idea to business investors at Idea, the university's venture accelerator, last year. Next
Crop Circle Kitchen
This is an incubator of a different kind. Crop Circle Kitchen is the only culinary incubator in the city. The non-profit supports about 40 culinary entrepreneurs. Members included Roxy's Grilled Cheese, Voltage Coffee, Clover, and Cakeology. Next
Greentown Labs
Greentown Labs, one of the largest private incubators for energy-related start-ups, fits about 30 companies. Their new 33,000 sq. ft. prototype facility and office will be in Somerville.

The .22 Long Rifle is undeniably the most widely produced and most popular cartridge in the whole United States. For more than one hundred years, it has served the needs of hunters and sport shooters, law enforcement and even the military. The .22 LR is based on the Flobert BB cap, and has resulted from the continuous improvement of the BB cap to meet the need for a cartridge with accuracy, low recoil and low noise that works in a multitude of applications. The .22LR rimfire cartridge can be used in many different situations from target shooting to plinking and small rodent control. The ammunition is comparatively inexpensive and widely available, making the .22 LR a fantastic choice for long shooting sessions at the range, and being lighter to carry during an extended hunting trip or a long hike.
Pistols and rifles with all action types have been chambered in .22 LR. Choices from small derringer pistols to full-sized clones of military rifles, the .22 LR has more firearm models chambered for it than any other caliber. A popular trend for the .22 LR cartridge is to convert a firearm that normally fires a larger centerfire caliber, such as .223 Remington or 5.56x45mm with a smaller barrel and firing chamber. This allows the shooter to train with less recoil, cost and noise with the weapon they will fire in competition or carry every day.
.22 LR ammunition has only experienced minor changes since being introduced in 1887 by the J. Stevens Arm & Tool Company. From that time, the .22 LR has seen an increase in velocity and range and accuracy. Hollow point bullets are also sold that offer a flatter trajectory and better energy transfer that only comes with a hollow point bullet. Some companies manufacture a .22 LR shot cartridge that propels a small payload of #12 shot to dispatch small rodents at close range, a safer and surer method than using a solid point bullet. Beyond all the applications for a .22 LR has, it is frequently the first firearm that many people shoot.
The .22 LR is the choice for youth shooting programs around the world due to the low cost, low recoil, minimal muzzle blast and good accuracy. Shooters are able to concentrate on shooting fundamentals without worrying about loud bangs and jumping recoil. Shooters around the world appreciate the the .22 LR, a great little cartridge. Considering the variety of firearms which shoot this low cost cartridge, as well as the many shooter friendly features, it is likely that the .22 LR will remain popular for years to come.

Patrick Burke on You Can Play's focus, gendered insults, and Kesler's Upcoming PSA
Thomas Drance
June 11 2012 02:24PM
You Can Play President Patrick Burke (left) and his father Brian from a YCP PSA from earlier this year.
Stick-tap to Puck Daddy for the screen grab.
Editors note: Patrick Burke is a scout for the Philadelphia Flyers and the President of the You Can Play Project, an organization that was founded in honour of Patrick's openly gay brother Brendan, who perished in a tragic car accident on February 5th, 2010. Over the past several months, Patrick and You Can Play have been producing a series of public service announcements starring some of the biggest names in the hockey world. These PSAs have one simple message: an athlete's sexual orientation shouldn't and doesn't matter: if you can perform on the ice (or on the field, or on the mound, or on the hardwood) you belong there: "if you can play, you can play."
It's an apolitical message, a message of tolerance and respect. The goal is to combat homophobia in the locker room, and to create an environment where gay athletes, at the professional or amateur level, can feel safe to come out to their teammates and to the public.
Tomorrow, You Can Play will roll out another PSA, starring Canucks centre and Selke winner Ryan Kesler. Earlier today, we caught up with Patrick and chatted about how Kesler is a perfect fit for the campaign, about gendered insults in sports, about the importance of You Can Play remaining an apolitical movement, and about how you're not going to accomplish your goals, if you're constantly getting outraged.
Thomas Drance: I talked about this with several of Canucks Army's openly gay readers on Twitter, and we all agreed that Kesler's style of play, and his reputation (which is in-line with a swashbuckling alpha-male archetype) makes him a perfect YCP spokesman. Would you agree?
Patrick Burke: Yeah, he's got all of the things that draws us to want a guy to speak out. The way he plays, the heart, the relentless style, the leadership that he shows, and the respect that he has both within the Canucks organization and around the league. Those are the things that we're looking for in players who are going to be the face of You Can Play.
TD: My next one is a tough question. In contrast to Kesler's reputation, there are the Sedin twins, who despite being two of the best players in the world and tough as nails, are often and unfairly ridiculed as "women" and "soft," both by opposing fans and worse, some in the media.
I'm curious as to whether or not you would place the misguided gendered insults often hurled at the twins, under the same general umbrella as the wider goals of You Can Play?
PB: I mean, the twins have a Hart Trophy, a couple Art Ross trophies, they've been to the finals - so anyone who wants to insult what they've done for the Canucks is missing the point.
As for the larger issue with gender insults, it's a difficult and somewhat complex issue. I absolutely agree with and understand the idea that when media members or fans are using the female gender to act as an insult, that is rightly viewed as an insult to women in general. That is, in a lot of ways, in-line with what we're doing; but I also think that it's almost a harder battle than getting guys to stop using homophobic slurs, because it's just so ingrained in the culture of sport.
I mean, if you're the coach and you want to motivate your guys you say, "you're playing like girls" you know or "you're playing like women out there." I think it's more ingrained than homophobic slurs if that makes sense. But in the larger sense everyone at You Can Play stands for the idea that talent is all that matters, that gender identity and sexual orientation are side issues to your athletic ability.
TD: The other day, the @strombone1 twitter account - a feed largely believed to be run by Roberto Luongo - used the word "gay" on Twitter to describe something negatively (as weak or lame). He quickly deleted the tweet, and apologized profusely in public, and in private to several of his gay followers. You quickly vouched for Luongo as an ally on Twitter, saying: "If we're jumping all over everyone who has used slurs before, I'll have to resign."
Now the sentiment beneath your comment there hints at a very forgiving outlook on how to foster a spirit of tolerance and respect. This is a two-part question, first off: what advice would you give someone who publicly slips up, on how to handle the fall out?
PB: My policy is one of forgiveness because I've been there. For years I was the athlete using homophobic slurs, casually and regularly. Obviously I feel bad about that now, but I also know that if every time I'd done that someone had been there screaming and yelling and calling me an ass-hole, that it wouldn't have been productive. So when athletes, or fans, or anonymous Twitter accounts use homophobic slurs, we try - so long as they show they're learning from the mistake - to support them.
We've all been there, you know? If we're going to go get the pitchforks every time someone does that, then You Can Play is going to need a new President because I'm out!
As to my recommendation for what an athlete or someone should do is: apologize. You said it, you screwed up, so say that. "I used that word, I shouldn't have done that, I apologize" and then don't use it again. The only time athletes end up getting bogged down with this issue is when they do the half apology thing "oh I apologize if anyone was offended." Just say "I screwed up, I shouldn't have used that word, I won't use that word again, I'm sorry," and then it's a non-issue.
TD: Secondly: because you seem to have a nuanced view on this issue, what advice would you give to YCP's allies on how to productively deal with someone who isn't spewing hate, but is maybe, clumsily using "gay" in a negative light?
PB: By now we've got enough videos out there that you can direct them towards something like that. I genuinely do not believe that yelling, and screaming, and calling someone an ass-hole is going to get you the result that you want. Expressing, "hey you know, words like that have a negative affect, and mean something" is a lot more effective than, as I said before, getting the torches and going "Hey! Let's get that guy."
TD: With the success of the YCP movement's message, are there any plans for the organization to get more involved in political issues, like marriage equality, or unbiased healthcare for transgendered patients?
PB: No not ever.
TD: Never? Just stay focussed?
PB: We will only do sports for as long as this program lasts. We will never stray from it. None of us will ever say we like a particular political candidate or policy or anything. We do nothing political because we want athletes and fans from all political beliefs to be comfortable standing with You Can Play. Treating your teammates, fans and coaches with respect, and not using homophobic slurs are the only things we ask.
As far as we're concerned, it can be completely consistent for someone who says that they will treat their athletes with respect, that they won't use homophobic slurs and that they would be comfortable having a gay teammate, and would support a gay teammate – but for whatever reason they don't believe in marriage equality. We don't see any intellectual inconsistency there.
TD: Is it an accessibility judgement that leads you to that conclusion? Or is it that one of the reasons You Can Play has been so powerful is just the raw simplicity of the message? Are you reluctant to dilute that, or is it about building a big tent?
PB: It's to shut the media up!
It's so that when our guys stand up and do a PSA, the first question they get isn't "what's your opinion on marriage equality", "what's your opinion on equal benefits for same-sex partners", "what's your opinion on this"... So Ryan Kesler's PSA is coming out later this week, the first question he gets will not be, "do you support gay marriage", "do you support this" or "do you support that." The first question will be "what made you want to stand up for your gay teammates."
So our focus is about getting the media to stay the hell away from our athletes with questions that have no bearing on sports. If you're an organization that says "we really like equality in sports and we also support X,Y and Z - and we're opposed to A,B and C" then when an athlete stands up with you, they're going to get asked about all of those things. We don't want that. We're staying on sports so our athletes can feel comfortable supporting a very narrow, but important message.
TD: As a follow up, I saw you put out a call for media members to join YCP to do a PSA, and I watched the TSN bit assuring any players who would come out of the closet that their orientation wouldn't change the focus of TSN's coverage. Generally have you been happy with the way the media has reported on and dealt with You Can Play?
PB: Yes.
The media members from the hockey world have been great. They've understood what we're doing, they've understood why we're doing it. Obviously there have been a few times when somebody has used the wrong term, but the media has been great.
They understand that their role in the sports world is often to help control or shape reaction, and form what the message will be. They've been more than willing. Since I announced the media video we're doing, we've had 35 or 40 something e-mails and I actually had to bring on a new intern to help me manage the project.

We as Americans have two serious concerns that reach beyond parties and the power concerns of those in politics. They are both economic and both require a surplus of revenue.
At the same time the burden of payroll taxes on businesses must be significantly reduced so that revenue intake doesn't hit at this point in the market. In return, a special income tax to take in revenue to regularly pay down the debt must be established.
In addition to paying down the debt, we need a system the provides for a minimal living income for all American adults and with time rid ourselves of most welfare programs that at the present are intend to work against continued poverty situations.
These are two points that most of us and both parties can agree on, reduction of debt and reduction in the number of people in poverty requiring welfare payments based on payroll taxes.
Governments generally attain most of their revenue from taxes. Although most taxes go for good causes, most people do not like paying taxes. But as the saying goes, "nothing is more certain than death and taxes," so we need to face up to both.
A payment of a monthly sum to all adults to achieve a minimum standard of living is better than burdening the payroll to maintain welfare programs and that will also leave the market to determine what wages will be.
A guaranteed income to all will give the market a stability that could eliminate depressions if not periodic recessions as well. At the present time, an average minimal of $3,000 per month would be the required amount by each adult in the U.S. to keep out of poverty.
We need a "revenue producing system" that would balance off these payments and a similar amount to go directly to paying down the debt on a monthly basis. The result would be a prosperous economy and one of the best standards of living in the world.

Young star Matthew Morgan will start at full-back for the Ospreys against Zebre for their RaboDirect PRO12 clash on Friday.
Young star Matthew Morgan will start at full-back for the Ospreys against Zebre on Friday in the RaboDirect PRO12.
"We've built up some good momentum over the last few weeks which have put us in a decent place in terms of pushing into the top four of the PRO12 and keeping our European hopes alive," said Steve Tandy.
"We mustn't let that hard work and effort go to waste now though, and it's important that we perform well against Zebre on Friday night.
"As with any Italian team they are a tough, physical bunch and going into the game on the back of two Welsh derbies in five days we need to use the squad as much as we can for this one.
"We know that they will make life difficult for us but we have to focus on our own game, and concentrate on what we need to do to ensure we get the performance levels we expect from the group.
Meanwhile, Zebre will be eager to bounce back from their back-to-back defeats to Italian neighbours Treviso when they run out at Liberty Stadium on Friday.
Gonzalo Garcia leads the side from centre while Paolo Buso and Alberto Chillon are at fly-half and scrum-half respectively.
Form: Ospreys have won their last eight games at Liberty Stadium in all competitions. They suffered a first ever loss to an Italian side when they visited Treviso on 31 August. Zebre are still attempting to open their winning account, the new franchise slipping to a dozen straight reversals in the RaboDirect PRO12 so far. Ospreys won 34-16 when the two sides met in round six.
The teams:
Ospreys: 15 Matthew Morgan, 14 Ross Jones, 13 Tom Issacs, 12 Andrew Bishop, 11 Eli Walker, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Rhys Webb, 8 Jonathan Thomas, 7 Sam Lewis, 6 Jamies King, 5 Lloyd Peers, 4 Ian Gough, 3 Adam Jones (c), 2 Scott Baldwin, 1 Duncan Jones.
Replacements: 16 Richard Hibbard, 17 Ryan Bevington, 18 Campbell Johnstone, 19 George Stowers, 20 Morgan Allen, 21 Kahn Fotuali'i, 22 Jonathan Spratt, 23 Richard Fussell.
Zebre: 15 Alberto Benettin, 14 Giovanbattista Venditti, 13 Roberto Quartaroli, 12 Gonzalo Garcia (capt) 11 Samuele Pace, 10 Paolo Buso, 9 Alberto Chillon, 8 Andries Van Schalkwyk, 7 Nicola Belardo, 6 Filippo Ferrarini, 5 Michael Van Vuren, 4 Quintin Geldenhuys, 3 David Ryan, 2 Davide Giazzon, 1 Andrea De Marchi.
Replacements: 16 Carlo Festuccia, 17 Carlo Fazzari, 18 Luciano Leibson, 19 Emiliano Caffini, 20 Daniel Halangahu, 21 Tito Tebaldi, 22 Alberto Chiesa, 23 Ruggero Trevisan.

Presidents as Pastors in Chief: An Update on Religion in Inaugural Addresses
It did not receive much attention on Monday, January 21 during President Obama's second inauguration, but some were alarmed when the reporter at the private pre-inaugural worship service at St. John's Episcopal Church noted that Rev. Andy Stanley, who gave the sermon, referred to the President as "Pastor in Chief." In an interview with Christianity Today several days after the inauguration, Mr. Stanley said his remark had been taken out of context by some reporters, clarifying that it had come from being impressed by the President's visit with families after the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. Mr. Stanley had said,
"Mr. President, I don't know the first thing about being President, but I know a bit about being a pastor. And during the Newtown vigil on December 16th after we heard what you did — I just want to say on behalf of all of us as clergy, thank you."
And added, "I turned to Sandra [Stanley's wife] that night and said, 'Tonight he's the Pastor in Chief.'" Other commentators also referred to President Obama as pastor in chief after being moved by his separate visits with each family who lost a child and by his speech to those gathered in mourning.
Later on Monday, President Obama's inaugural address did even more to cast him as Pastor in Chief with his use of religious language and themes. He used the word "God" five times (and twice more with "His" and "He"), which is just short of Reagan's record of eight in 1985. Obama also mentioned "our creed" five times, giving the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence significance as a kind of civil religion. Finally, he ended by saying, "Thank you, God Bless you, and may He forever bless these United States of America."
It may strike some as alarming that the president would be referred to as a Pastor in Chief or that he would make frequent use of religious language in such a public ceremony, but this association is something President Obama shares with many of his recent predecessors. Religious language in presidential inaugural addresses has become increasingly more explicit in the twentieth century, particularly since World War II.
As I reported in an earlier Sightings column in 2001, the earliest American presidents came from Protestant backgrounds but were heavily influenced by Enlightenment philosophy as young men and were Deists by the time they entered politics. Since their generation had made the separation of church and state a fundamental American principle, they were quite hesitant, and very creative, when naming God. Washington referred to "that Almighty Being who rules over the universe," Adams to "the Protector in all ages," and Jefferson to "that Infinite Power." But with Presidents Monroe and Pierce, we see the beginning of a trend with the actual use of "God." Lincoln mentioned God six times in his second inaugural address (and eight more times with He, His, the Almighty, and the Lord), and he was daring in his use of Scripture to judge the Confederacy near the end of the Civil War. Such references to God then appear in subsequent addresses, steadily increase in the twentieth century, and reach a record high with Reagan in 1985.
It has also become almost obligatory since Reagan (1981) to end every inaugural address (and State of the Union address now, too) with some combination of "God bless you" and "God bless America" — a move from asking for, appealing to, or seeking divine guidance to asking God to bless the people and country. Eisenhower (1953) and George H. W. Bush (1989) even led the people in prayer. George W. Bush, who was well known for his "born-again" evangelical Christian background, also caused a stir when he alluded to plans in his 2001 inaugural address to begin an Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (renamed the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships by President Obama). At the same time, Bush and Obama were careful to be inclusive of other world religions in their addresses, and Obama also made room for "non-believers" in his first inaugural address. Obama's second address took place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and some were reminded of an oratorical style that reflects the prophetic black preaching tradition of someone like Mr. King.
The result of such changes has lent recent addresses an ever more sermon-like quality, with the president as a kind of pastor to the people. But why? Perhaps such language gradually became less taboo, as presidents have felt more and more free to employ it. Or it may also stem from the increasing intimacy of the event. Thanks to the media, inaugurations have moved from the confines of Congress (last with J.Q. Adams in 1825) to radio (Coolidge, 1925) and then finally to television (Truman, 1949). Founding fathers like Jefferson and Madison would no doubt be very pleased by President Obama's powerful reinterpretation of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution for our times, but it is likely they would be uncomfortable with the label of pastor in chief and the common trend among recent presidents to employ more explicit religious language in their addresses.

Locally heavy downpours possible.Highs: in the middle 60sWind: South winds at 10-15 mphPrecipitation probability - 60%-80% | Rainfall totals: 0.40"-0.75" - locally heavier totals likely.Confidence in this forecast is highForecast for your local town/city - Click HereThis forecast analysis covers far southern Illinois, southeast Missouri, southwest Indiana, western Kentucky, and northwest TennesseeHEADLINES: A complicated forecast over the coming days. It isn't that we aren't sure whether or not it is or isn't going to rain - we know the answer to that question! It is going to rain. The question will be the placement of the frontal boundary and ripples of energy that move up along the frontal boundary.Right now it appears that the heaviest rainfall amounts will be placed over southern Indiana into Kentucky and Tennessee. Lesser rainfall totals are likely across southern Illinois and southeast Missouri.Showers will be ongoing on Thursday night and continue into Sunday night. There will be several distinct chances of rain. One of those being on Friday itself - then scattered on Saturday - then another widespread chance on Sunday into Sunday evening.There will be a chance for thunderstorms - severe weather is not expected. Lightning will be the main concern - for any outdoor plans. The area in yellow is where general thunderstorms are expected. Again - that means below severe levels.Rainfall totals should be in the 0.50"-1.00" over southern Illinois and southeast Missouri (from start to finish) and in the 1"-2" range over parts of southern Indiana down into Kentucky and Tennessee.Rainfall forecastThere remains some questions on how numerous the showers will be on Saturday. I know there are several parades in the region. I believe that showers will be more scattered late on Saturday morning into early afternoon - then perhaps more numerous during the evening hours into Sunday. There will be a better chance for precipitation over our southeast counties vs northwest (that means a better chance over parts of Indiana and Kentucky/Tennessee).Check radars if you have outdoor plans and check the latest forecast numbers.Radars http://weatherobservatory.com/weather-radar.htmOur region needs this rainfall. Drought conditions prevail over all of our counties. We could use several inches of rain.The good news is that we are entering an active pattern of the coming weeks. I promised you that the second and third weeks of December would become more active. That appears to be happening - starting with this system.It is too early to make a call as to whether any of the systems could produce snow or ice. Some of the model data is showing enough cold air for some frozen precipitation in the coming weeks. The problems with long range data is that it doesn't always verify. So - I will keep monitoring and updating as each event draws closer.
Rain over the coming days could mess up outdoor plans. Severe weather risk appears very low - there could be some lightning and thunder.
Check radars if you have outdoor plans. Rain is likely over the coming days.
Wild card in this forecast will be just how widespread the rain will be over the coming days and the exact placement of the frontal boundaries. I know there are a lot of ourdoor plans on Saturday (parades and other). Check radars if you have concerns.

Harlequins sneaked into the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup thanks to a 22-20 victory over Scarlets in Llanelli on Sunday.
Harlequins sneaked into the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup thanks to a 22-20 Heineken Cup victory over Scarlets in Llanelli on Sunday.
Replacement fly-half Ben Botica's penalty three minutes from time was enough for Connor O'Shea's men to sneak through, but they were made to work for it by a desperately unlucky Scarlets.
A game which saw some thrilling running rugby, and three tries a piece, gives Quins a tough trip to Stade Français in the quarter finals of the Europe's second-tier competition.
Defeat for Scarlets means that every Welsh side has been eliminated from European competitions.
Both teams came out of the blocks with purpose and desire. After some end to end exchanges, a superb move by the Scarlets saw the game come to life.
A superb offload by captain Rob McCusker fed in scrum half Gareth Davies, who's one handed finish gave him his first ever Heineken Cup try.
With Scarlets down to 14 men, the Quins hit back thanks mainly to a superb long pass from Nick Evans. His looping throw missed out two opposition players and found Mike Brown all alone in the corner to slide in. Evans then stepped up to level the scores.
Harlequins' second try was yet another top quality score. Brown turned provider with a nice inside ball to give Ollie Lindsay-Hague a simple run to the line for his first Heineken Cup try in his first appearance.
Rhys Priestland's penalty looked to be the last act of the half until a brilliant piece of opportunism from Aaron Shingler. Karl Dickson looked to protect the ball at the back of a ruck which was on his own try line, only for Shingler to burst through and touch the ball down.
Referee Jerome Garces felt satisfied that the ball was out and Scarlets went into the dressing room with a one-point lead.
The lead changed hands once again after the break. Dickson, taking the ball from the back of a scrum, threw a dummy which beat two players and darted over the swing the score back in his sides favour.
Scott Williams scored the game's sixth try just 10 minutes into the second half, scrambling over from close range in what was turning out to be a breathless encounter.
With the clock ticking over, the game was still in the balance going into the last ten minutes with both teams showing bright moments only to be let down by unforced errors.
Botica's winning kick was preceded by a mass brawl, but the replacement fly-half kept his cool to kick Harlequins into the Challenge Cup quarters.
The scorers:
For Scarlets:
Tries: Davies, Shingler, S.Williams
Con: Priestland
Pen: Priestland
Yellow card: Shingler
For Harelquins:
Tries: Brown, Lindsay-Hague, Dickson
Cons: Evans 2

Replacements: 16 Ken Owens, 17 Rob Evans, 18 Jacobie Adriaanse, 19 Johan Snyman, 20 Josh Turnbull, 21 Rhodri Williams, 22 Adam Warren, 23 Gareth Owen

Your goal is to charge the highest price you possibly can.Yes, you do consider percentages in business. Understanding target ratios in any P&L statement is a pretty fundamental business skill.You do not blindly charge 5 times cost, you have to first determine what the market will bear, then analyze your product content, work flow, portioning and suppliers to reach for that low food cost. A traditional, dine-in restaurant will have food costs about 1/3 of their menu price. A delivery/carryout (delco) pizza business can indeed run 20% or less food costs.I make over $15 on a $21 pepperoni pizza.Dough: $0.70Sauce: $0.20Pepperoni: $1.25Cheese (Mozzarella and Gouda mix): $1.30Onions, Olives and Mushrooms: $0.30Parmesan topping: $0.10Spice mix topping: $0.05Box: $0.54Box insert: $0.16So, my food and packaging cost on a carryout or delivery pizza is under 20%.Of course, there are other variable and fixed costs, but my food costs are definitely under 20%.
Your goal is to charge the highest price you possibly can.
Not necessarily, your goal is to make as much money as you can. Charging the highest price possible doesn't always translate into making the most money. It may mean customers buy less. Also, you can often use pricing to steer customers to your highest dollar margin items.
How would that work in a pizza shop scenario Craig? Thanks.
Craig,Have you ever seen or read in your studies where a menu contained an "imposter" item(never truly intending to sell, thus stock a very small amount)and it is strategically placed to draw the patron to a higher margin item?If so, could you please give a possible scenario.
In analyzing the different sizes and prices of the MM pizzas, I also came to the conclusion, again rightly or wrongly, that those prices were set to encourage diners to order larger sizes than smaller sizes, for example, going from a 14" pizza to a 16" pizza where the margins might be higher. This really isn't much different than consumers buying things in the supermarket in quantity to save on per unit cost.
Dollar ninetytwo my cost for sixteen inch cheese pie
La Sera,Are you purchasing premade dough?
Everyone in business knows this.
Edgar,Sorry if I've missed it before but are your pizza products 'cost down there on scale with pricing in the States?
Bob:I haven't compare my prices with the ones in the States. I'm assuming they are a bit more expensive here. I purchase most of the ingredients at Sam's specially the cheese. The $1.92 cost is materials only, no labor or utility costs. I think that my last 5 pounds of Mozzarella were just under $13.00.Edgar

Shakespeare's Restless World is currently being broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Today's episode Disguise and Deception looks at the importance of appearances in Elizabethan England.
Margaret Spufford, historian
The pedlar was a very elusive figure indeed. He (or she – there were women pedlars too) was peripatetic and they lived literally near the edge of society, the vagrant fringe.
Pedlars were essentially salesmen who worked in and out of markets and there were large groups of them around big towns. London had the largest contingent of pedlars who would have worked out of the city, up and down the roads. There would have been people circulating to and fro; some people travelled as far as Edinburgh to London and back. They travelled by foot, carrying their wares in packs on their backs. As they became more prosperous, they might have been able to afford to buy a horse.
As well as pedlars based in the bigger cities, there were those based solely in individual market towns all over the country. They would live in a market town and would work out of it, circulating during the week to spread wares.
Pedlars were also entertainers. They were certainly multi-skilled and often earned their night's lodging by singing. They sang, told stories, shared the latest news. Pedlars were talkers and were highly socially skilled people. In fact, I would say that the whole business of singing and performing which you find amongst these people is an aid to selling. The skills are almost indistinguishable, they have to be entertainers to make a living.
Their role was extremely important in circulating goods and news very widely, but they were unpopular with the authorities. Pedlars were heavily legislated against. I think there were something like 11 bills in parliament against pedlars and hawkers in the 17th century. They were beaten, they were unpopular and with a town's shopkeeper they were very unpopular indeed because their living was being undercut by the pedlars' presence.

Natural oak with custom furniture and finishings are the norm. Formally named "Myrna", "Yanka", "Derama" and "Rama", "Thea" returned to the builder's yard, Arsenal Do Alfeite, in 1999 for a refit where several electrical and mechanical components were modernized. Recently, she has also received new bottom inspections and coatings and will be R.I.N.A. certified. On board are vast libraries of engineering drawings, specification books, fuel consumption graphs and yard bills that document special history. "Thea" boasts many redundant systems and toughened naval type construction hidden beneath her sumptuous appearance. Configured for comfortable cruising with 11 master and guest berths, all with en suite head facilities, and crew accommodations for 11, "Thea" is a palatial treat on the sea. The seller will consider all reasonable offers. Please call or email for the complete brochure.Accommodations

GM engine (being restored) Water Craft: Yamaha XL 700 Wave Runner Jet Ski Vessel Walkthrough: Main Deck/ Guest Cabins Master Stateroom: This is a grand master suite and offers a magnificent morning and evening views of any harbor, island or coastal scenery! The head (master bath) is equally luxurious and features a cast iron porcelain corner tub (no fiberglass/ acrylic materials used on this yacht) and the counter tops are a beautiful pink/ beige marble. All toilets are home style and have adjacent bidet faucets and all plumbing fixtures work 100%. This cabin can be used as a VIP guest stateroom, meeting room or even a gymnasium or day spa by removing the bed. Junior Guest Suite: Continuing moving afta few steps outside the master vestibule are a set of steps (port side) that lead to the crew quarters alternative entry (hidden behind a curved flush fitting door) and terminate at a small foyer to a small guest stateroom. The dimensions: 8.16 long X 8.83 wide (72 sq). This stateroom was used by previous owners as an office, a nannys, personal assistant, guest chefs stateroom and a nursery. This stateroom features a built-in desk, moderate size en-suite head/shower room and ample hanging and drawer cabinets. There is good natural lighting from the large ports in both cabin and bath. Dining Room/ Butler's Pantry: Continuing aft on the main deck, the formal dining room is large 18 wide X 15.2 long (244 sq) with a ceiling height of 7.08. There are several built-in cabinets that house the glass/china/silver service. The ceilings are coffered and mirrored. There are several bronze lost wax cast sconces on all four corners and recessed lighting. The antique dining table is massive (seating 10-14) with finely veneered features. The dining chairs have been restored and upholstered in an elegant matching period fabric. Included in the sale is a large oil painting depicting a Mediterranean family feast. There are several large windows on both sides to the room and guest can enjoy the scenery. Butler's Pantry: The butlers pantry is to the forward/port side of the dining room. It is finished in a light sycamore veneer and features a dumb waiter, a Miele dishwasher, double sink, medium size refrigerator/freezer, espresso maker and storage for breakfast service and provisions. This is a perfect light breakfast, lunch or midnight snack prep galley. There is a watertight deck door and aft or upper deck food service can be assessed without salon walk through by crew. Salon/ Drawing/ Games/ Media Rooms: Continuing aft, the salon/drawing room is massive. Measured from dining room to aft deck entry it is over 40 long X 18 wide! There are two sets of pocket doors that allow the dining room to be closed off and the second set allowing the sitting room adjacent to the dining to be separated from the aft salon. This smaller salon has a beautiful semi-spiral staircase with carved baluster handrails. This section of the stateroom features two statuary niches and several built-in cabinets that currently house audio gear. Like the dining room, there are cast bronze sconces, recessed lighting and coffered ceilings. This is a great area to stage a gourmet dining prelude or a post dining retreat. The pocket doors allow this space to become a modern media room with the addition of a built-in flat screen lifting cabinet and an Ethernet based media server A/V system. Main Salon: The main salon is 25.8 long X 18 wide (464.4 sq) measured from aft entry to the pocket doors of the drawing room. The salon like the dining/ drawing rooms feature large windows where seeing and being seen continues. The ceilings are coffered/ mirrored and the blond oak paneling and bronze sconces are incorporated. There are several antique cabinets that have been added to the dcor with clever air-condition/heating vents blended in. The sofas and coffee/ cocktail tables are not built in and can be changed easily to suit the new owners taste. The sisal carpeting also continues with oriental runners and rugs placed over. There is recessed lighting and several built in audio system speakers. The original owner wanted a salon that was reminiscent of the grand hotels and homes of Europehe succeeded! The salon/drawing rooms offer any new owner a flexible layout that can be fashioned to their taste and with replacement of soft goods and flooring the transformation is a simple task. Guest Staterooms: The guest staterooms offer a luxurious retreat and are quiet and spacious. They can be accessed via a stairway to the starboard side of the drawing room/ salon. On the lower landing there is a good sized vestibule 7.5X8.3 (62.4sq). The landing is oak paneled and has the same series bronze sconces and recessed lighting. There is a waterproof mid-ship bilge access hatch recessed into the wood flooring. There are four guest staterooms and a brass name plate affixed to each room bearing the names of the Greek Gods; Athena, Estia, Artemis, and Afrodite (Aphrodite). The nannys room is named Rea. The two forward facing port and starboard staterooms are mirror imaged in size and specifications. There is a set of double doors that allow the two rooms to be joined as one grand guest or master full beam suite. The staterooms have coffered ceilings (mirrored) and several built-in cabinets and hanging closets. The beds are King size. The heads/ bathrooms are en-suite and feature a 6+ cast iron/ porcelain tub shower, home style toilets with bidet attachment and a glass top/polished nickel leg vanity. The plumbing/ accessory fixtures are gold plated and in 100% working condition. Galley The Galley is quite large and is equipped comparable to any gourmet restaurant. The range has eight burners, plus a flat griddle, a deep fryer and an open smoker grill. The galley is veneered in sanitary stainless steel and features a powerful extractor fan that has a chimney directly to the faux smoke stack. There several refrigerators and a large chest freezer. Prepared food is lifted to the butlers service pantry via a dumb waiter and there is no smells or noise entering the dining room. Under the galley and accessed via a watertight hatch is an additional bilge storage area that can house provisions/cleaning supplies, large pans or beverages. Pilot House The pilot house offers an over 180 degree view. It is oak paneled with an attractive steering and navigation console built-in and affixed to the wind screen area. The pilot house has port and starboard deck access water tight doors. Behind the pilot house is the chart room and captains cabin. Behind the pilot house on the port side is the chart room and is finished in oak matching the guest areas below. There are many storage cabinets and several book shelves that amply hold all ships office supplies, technical binders and engineering drawings. To the starboard side of the cabin is a chart table with generous storage for many rolled or flat papers charts. To the port side is the captains head/shower. The captains cabin is aft/starboard of the chart table. The captains berth is wide enough for the occasional guest and there are several storage cabinets and hanging uniform closets. The roof of the pilot house is reached via a port side stairway. The roof allows access to lighting, air horns, radar scanners and various antennas. There is an access hatch adjacent to the radar mast that houses SSB antenna tuners and other electronic devices. Aft Deck/ Outdoor Space The aft deck is very spacious approximately 40 long X 23 wide. It is mostly sheltered by a strip wood overhead that offers protection from the elements. There are also acrylic splash screen on the main and upper deck that also provide protection while underway. The condition of the teak deck is outstanding (due to the aforementioned protection). Included in the sale is a collection of wicker seating (with cushions). This is the perfect space for various social functions and gala events can be hosted completely segregating the private interior guest area by simply locking the aft salon doors. The guest will have an on deck powder room on the port/ aft section of this main deck or another powder room located on the top deck. Additional income can be generated from dockside charters without the wear/tear of strangers traipsing through the private sectors! Food service is accommodated via the port side walkway and butlers pantry. Entry (stern to) is by an approximately 20 long gangway/passerelle that is hoisted by two electric winches/steel cables. The gangway can slew 10-15 degrees either direction. There is also a rain head shower (starboard ) to rinse off the salt water after a swim. Marquipt style port and starboard entry ladders allow entry from both dockside (breasted) or water entry. Aft-Top Deck Entry to the Aft-Top deck is gained by an aft main deck stairway, through the pilothouse or a series of stairs via the fore deck. Like the aft deck below the top-aft is equally generously proportioned. Adjacent to the summit of the staircase is an alfresco dining bar/storage/refrigerator unit. There is a large teak table and chairs. Also is a teak bench seat and a locker to hold the canvas cabaa tent with outlets for overhead lanterns. The tent is the perfect setting dockside or at anchor dining. There is a powder room/day head located in the faux smoke stack. Tender Deck The tender deck is top/ midship. There is ample space for two cradled large tenders, several Jet Skis and other various water toys and craft. The tenders are lifted by two over sized Dunbar/ Tico knuckle boom cranes. The cranes have tremendous reach and lifting capacities and can accommodate dockside loading or equipment/provisions. There exist the possibility to lift and stow motorcycles/ Vespas, a small submarine/ ROV, an Ultra-Light aircraft or a small electric car or dune buggy. Sun Deck Yet another perfect spot to worship the sun, enjoy the scenery while underway or at anchor. The Sun Deck is situated above the master cabin structure. It is accessed via a set of stair ascending from the main deck or by a passage via the pilothouse and upper deck. It is a semicircular horseshoe design and features several insulated beverage lockers and dry storage for tanning locations and sun glasses. Ample built-in storage/ beverage ice chest. The yellow and white striped Sunbrella canvas cushions are in 100% condition. Foredeck The foredeck is sheathed in teak and has a massive dual anchor windlass and wash down system. The wide flair of the bow and high bulwarks protect the crew and guest from over-spray. There are numerous port/starboard side rope/hose lockers. The crew entry is aft the windlass and has a hooded weather shield. Chain Locker: Forward of the crew area is the chain locker. The windlass motor (220V) can be serviced from there. There are port and starboard chain bunks and the chain can be additionally washed and inspected with ease. There are several auxiliary refrigeration compressors and large provisions refrigerator has been installed adjacent to the entry door foyer. Underwater Hull The underwater hull was recently surveyed and repaired under R.I.N.A supervision and project management by Mario Dix (Mario has managed the yacht the entire time she has been in Malta). Thea was dry docked and the hull below the waterline was ultrasonically tested (full report available). Only one small section was replaced due to an abandoned anchor wash down tank that leaked fresh water. The hull was full 2.5 S.A. blasted and revealed her superb condition fully galvanized (war ship standards) steel plating. She was treated to a zinc rich primer, Sigma epoxy primer coated and bottom painted. The Sigma (epoxy paint) field engineer was on hand to supervise the application. The shafts were removed and inspected and blood tested to check for invisible cracks. New pillow block (cushion block) Thordon bearings were replaced. Steering boxes were inspected and new seals/gaskets installed. Propellers were serviced and zincs installed. Engine/ Mechanical/ Electrical Area The engine room is aft and is entered via a water tight deck hatch about 15 feet from the transom entry (secondary emergency port side hatch). The space is well insulated and noise levels on deck and inside the salon are extremely good. There are two large rectangular deck plates trimmed in stainless steel and flush with the aft decks teak flooring that allow for engine or machinery removal with out having to cut an opening in the hull or deck. The two MTU R- 493 V-12 1350 HP engines are connected to ZF BW 800 H20 (Vee Drive) reduction gearboxes. The power plants have electronic synchronization. CO2 fire suppression (recently serviced) and outside air vent close/offs are functioning. The generators provide the 220V ships service that besides domestic power, it powers all machinery and deck lighting. The windlass, capstan, passerelle and deck cranes/hydro pack are all 220V. Eight 8D wet cell batteries (new July 09) start engines and generators and have combiner switches for backup and a new charger (July 09). There is an oil change/ fill system with a waste oil tank (deck pump out), an emergency trash engine driven bilge pump-fire fighting pump. Maugiere air compressors provide pressurized air to various systems. Theas steering system is also derived from commercial and military vessel construction practices. The system uses dual Tenfjord Type 115T rudder steering boxes and a Type H-2-2FSG steering box (pilothouse). This system is redundant and connects the port and starboard units via a massive tie rod. Each engine has a port/starboard driven hydraulic power steering pump with cut in/ out valve circuits. There are two rudder angle indicators reporting to the Simrad auto-pilot and the Vosper stabilizer controller (not working). The tool room has a medium sized workshop with two steel work benches, a drill press, a lathe and plenty of tool and spare part storage. The tool room houses the large stainless steel water heater, engine pre-heater, water maker, water pressure system, stabilizer hydraulic power pack and Condaria air-conditioning water chiller system. Electrical service was modernized in the 1999 re-fit, note digital gauges. There is a large ships electrical service switch board, engine throttle/ starting stating, engine cylinder head monitors, fuel tank level gauges. Thea has Vosper stabilizers and a Vickers hydraulic power pack (located in engine room). The hydraulics and underwater fin work 100% and there are no salt water or hydraulic leaks any where. The system requires modernization to the electronic portion of the system. Exhaust System: The exhaust system is dry with the engine/generators sea water cooling mixing into the end of the system. The system is unique and the initial engine exhaust is directed to a set of large oval exhaust collectors exiting the transom just above the water line. When the engines reach higher RPMs the back pressure activates an internal exhaust flap to direct the exhaust below the water. This arrangement keep the exhaust gases and noise to a minimum and guest can enjoy the aft deck underway! Crew Quarters The crew quarters can be entered via the foredeck companionway or through a secret passage hidden behind a curved flush door in the stairway leading to the forward junior stateroom. There is berthing for tenfour double crew cabins with upper/lower bunks and an engineers or chefs cabin adjacent to the galley entry. A large crew lounge/mess is finished in a light colored lacquered finish. The lounge has a small refrigerator, television and two sets of Miele washers and dryers. There are two large showers/heads (one can be a dedicated female only head). The crew cabins are spacious and each feature AC/Heating blower units. Fire Fighting/ Safety Equipment/ Life Rafts Thea has four fire hose standpipes (forward port/starboard and aft port/starboard) and port/ starboard sets of fuel shut off valves. There are ample fire hose/nozzles and portable fire extinguishers (all in current certification) at strategic and required locations. The fire fighting system is sea water supplied driven off the engines pump. There canister life rafts (all recently serviced) that are mounted on both decks and are hydro statically opened. Thea has several EPIRBs and are currently in registration. Classification/ Inspections/ Registration Thea was originally built to a Lloyds Classification but during her several ownerships was not kept in classification. She does have a documented repair history and there are many records/receipts (in Greek and Portuguese) that portray Thea having had consistent servicing. During the past year, Thea has been revived and her bottom was given a thorough going over. R.I.N.A. has been contacted by management to survey and to begin a re-classification process under their societys standards. The hull was media blasted and ultra-sonic audio gauged. The majority of the hull plates were close to the original 9mm thickness. The entire bottom up to the waterline was epoxy coated with the paint systems field engineer over looking to assure a quality/ warranted application. The rudders were dropped and the shafts pulled, new bearings were installed and the rudder boxes inspected and overhauled. Thea waterline (load line) was verified and documented. R.I.N.A. will conduct a stability test (they add weights to either side of the vessel to determine listing) and once complete will have a R.I.N.A. certificate of sea worthiness. Thea is currently Malta flagged and has no financial encumbrances/liens/debts.

What is BetterStevia Balance?
BetterStevia Balance is a unique combination of Stevia, Inulin, and Chromium that's ideally suited to support healthy glucose metabolism. Our convenient packets can be taken anywhere, so you're never without a healthy, zero-calorie alternative.
By now most of us have heard of Stevia, a small plant native to South America with unique nutritive properties. While mass market brands have only recently jumped on the Stevia bandwagon, NOW has been selling Stevia for more than 25 years, so we know a thing or two about this amazing herb and its outstanding properties. Over the years the manufacturing process that produces BetterStevia extract has been perfected, leading to a natural product with exceptional purity and virtually no bitter aftertaste.
The "Balance" in BetterStevia Balance comes from Inulin and Chromium. Inulin, a fructooligosaccharide from chicory, is a non-digestible soluble fiber that can be utilized for nourishment by the probiotic bacteria in the gut. Chromium, a dietary mineral, is included due to its essential role in the body's metabolism of glucose, further supporting the low glycemic properties inherent in BetterStevia Balance.
Stevia Balance is an ideal supplement for anyone looking for a convenient natural product with a low glycemic impact.
Since 1968 NOW Foods has been committed to providing high quality, affordable natural foods, vitamins and personal care products. No compromises, no added costs, no unnecessary frills.
We continue to provide certified organic and natural foods, grains, flours and seeds through health food stores. As a family owned and operated business, we offer the health-conscious consumer three generations of honesty, quality, purity and commitment.

"When I received these shoes they looked very narrow and they were. I tried them on but they were too tight. I exchanged them for a larger size, through the Firewheel store who placed the order for me. I like the appearance of the shoes. Teresa in the chat area was a great help. Thanks to her for her helpfulness."
