Christmas City hits Zagat's list of "20 Awesome Winter Foodie Destinations"
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Vail, Montreal, Prague and Bethlehem? That's right, the Christmas city made an international countdown by Zagat as one of the best winter spots for food lovers.
Bethlehem has been the official Christmas city in the U.S. for 75 years. Every winter historic downtown Bethlehem transforms into a holiday wonderland. But it's the great grub here that snagged it a spot on Zagat.
Zagat's countdown of "20 Awesome Winter Foodie Destinations" offers an international list of places folks can check out with quality eats. Bethlehem is the fifth location highlighted.
"If you are surprised by this rating come down and try some of the restaurants down here and it will completely blow your mind," said Samantha Schwartz with the Downtown Bethlehem Association.
But you can't just come for the great grub.
"We always believe here that food brings people," shared Schwartz. "And then they're able to wander around.
The perfect place to go in December is Christkindmarkt, with its handmade crafts, gifts, and of course cuisine.
"We have artisans who sell locally made honey, PA made maple syrup, we have locally sourced wines made right here in the Lehigh Valley," explained Artsquest Spokesperson Mark Demko. "It's a really great experience."
The annual event draws in more then 60, 000 visitors to the city of 75, 000 each year. Zagat calls it the epicenter of the festivities.
"It's quite an honor," smiled Demko. "And what's great about Zagat is it's really based on input from consumers and patrons."
Travelers are also encouraged to stay at the Historic Hotel Bethlehem. The staff plans for December all year long and showcases some of the prettiest Christmas decorations around.
"We hang over 30,000 lights in the hotel, we decorate about 20,000 square feet," added General Manager Dennis Costello.
The hotel says it's an honor to be included on the Zagat countdown, and says everyone should come check out the Christmas City.
"Its just a unique experience you can't replicate anywhere else."

Giorgio de CHIRICO
Giorgio de Chirico (b Volo, Greece, 10 July 1888 – d Rome 1978) studied art in Athens and then Florence before moving to Germany in 1906, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. Returning to Italy in 1909 he painted enigmatic works, with empty spaces, shadows and strange perspectives. From 1914 he began to use tailors' dummies—painted, with plaster heads and rubber gloves—which foreshadowed much of his Surrealist imagery.
Conscripted into the Italian armed forces in 1915, de Chirico suffered a mental breakdown after being assigned to the military hospital in Ferrara. Here he met Futurist painter Carlo Carrà and together they founded the Scuola Metafisica. Following the group's break-up around 1920, de Chirico began to take a serious interest in the Italian classical painting tradition. By 1925 he had moved to France and become part of the arisian Surrealist movement.
De Chirico designed for many ballets during his career. He provided designs for the Ballets Suédois's La Jarre (The jar) in 1924, before designing costumes and sets for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes 1929 production of Le Bal. Between the end of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and the redevelopment of the company under de Basil, de Chirico worked for the Paris Opera. De Basil commissioned him to provide costumes for Pulcinella (1931) and Protée (Proteus) (1938). Following his involvement with the Ballets Russes, de Chirico designed for productions by Italian ballet companies, including La Légende de Joseph (The story of Joseph) for La Scala in Milan in 1951, and for the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino festival.

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
NEW ALBANY – Businessman Bill Robertson is challenging Mayor Tim Kent for New Albany's top post in the May 7 Democratic primary.
No Republican or independent candidates are running, so that election will decide the race.
Kent emphasizes progress that the city has seen during his first two terms and the promise of more to come.
"I've got a lot of things started that I'd like to see finished," he said. "We're going to see more jobs and more diversified jobs."
The city is currently negotiating with two industries – one Toyota-related and one not – about locating here, he said.
"We feel like with Toyota doing a body-style change next year, we've got an excellent chance of landing some new suppliers," Kent said. "We have an excellent site in Martintown Industrial Park."
Kent said that early in his tenure he helped shore up sagging support for the Tanglefoot Trail, which he thinks will be a major boost to tourism.
"When I first came into office, it was about to go down," he said. "The railbanking was about to run out, and once it ever got out of railbanking, I knew we'd never get it back."
Other progress Kent points to includes the current program of water line cleaning and replacement and some cleanup of long-abandoned houses.
"Cleaning up the city is a slow process, but we've made some progress," he said. "We've condemned some houses now and have torn down some. The process takes a lot longer than I thought, but it's good that it gives owners a chance to save their property if they're willing."
Robertson says his candidacy is not a protest against Kent.
"I'm running for the position of mayor, not against the incumbent," he said. "He's a friend of mine. I just have a different approach."
Robertson was a GM executive and a financial adviser before returning to New Albany to take over his family's hardware store. After running Hamilton Hardware for 20 years, he remains a financial consultant.
His background in administration, finance and marketing, Robertson said, can help open new sources of funding for needs from tourism promotion to flood control and street improvements.
"There are opportunities for us to take advantage of grant monies that we're not pursuing," he said. "I think we should be more aggressive in pursuing that type of thing."
Robertson said he'll offer business experience, contacts and determination if elected.
"I learned tenacity and aggressiveness in going for a goal," he said. "The management techniques I learned can benefit the citizens of New Albany."
He also said he'd push to cap the mayor's salary during any agiven term.
"I would like the Stennis Institute to give me an average of what comparable size towns make," Robertson said. "I don't know anybody (in the private sector) that's getting cost-of-living raises every year."

The only lineman I would want in the first is Warmack, and that's after a trade down in the 20's. We need a game-changing player and I think most of these WR's are second round talent. We need to sign Jennings and then go BPA if we can't trade down. That would most likely be a CB or DE, which are both needs. There will be plenty of talent in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. The only problem is that we have probably the worst talent evaluator in the NFL!!!
I go TE or WR. Eifert may not have lit up the world against Bama. But I seen enough over the course of the season, to take him. Last year I was told if Tannehill is your man, taking him at 8 isn't a reach. Well I would think those same people would be consistent when talking about this draft. Give the young developing QB what every young QB needs, a TE.
And honestly, I know people are going to hate to hear it, but Ireland wouldn't be stupid to consider taking an offensive lineman at #12. It is maddening that even after spending all the money and picks on the OL that it is still in shambles......but it is. The line play was just dreadful for most of last season. Even if they re-sign Long they still need more there.
After re-watching some games and looking at some of the highlight videos, the horrific performance by the OL last season really stood out to me more than on first viewing. I have really warmed up to the idea of taking Chance Warmack at 12. Or even Eric Fischer. That's if they let Long walk. If they re-sign him, they should not be using premium picks to try and upgrade the other spots.
Ireland did say the offseason would be about trying to land playmakers but that doesn't have to mean the entire draft, or even the first round pick. If they add Wallace or Jennings in FA and keep Hartline, they really don't need to spend a first rounder on someone like Keenan Allen, imo. Would it be nice? Sure, but there are other areas they really need to improve as well.
I would be happy with Warmack or a pass rusher in round 1 and then in round 2 some combo of WR, CB, DE/LB. If Tavon Austin was still there for their first pick in R2 that would be great.
16 Mocks and zero offensive lineman
Walter Football has us taking a LT from Central Michigan named Eric Fisher with the 12th pick. I would just move Martin to LT and draft a tackle later to play RT, or leave Martin at RT and get a left tackle in the third round. We need receivers, tight ends, etc. I can't see us re-signing Jake Long for what he is making and think we just have to let him go. We could probably draft Kyle Long, LT Oregon (son of Howie) in the third round.
To be honest I've been looking on Walterfootball and CBS mock drafts

Homocysteine and Heart Disease
What Is Homocysteine?
Homocysteine is an amino acid formed in the body from another amino acid called methionine. Certain B vitamins are needed to breakdown these amino acids. The vitamins include vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and folate. A deficiency of any one of these vitamins, most particularly folate, can lead to an elevation in blood levels of homocysteine.
Does Homocysteine Increase the Risk of Heart Attack?
Levels of homocysteine increase with age, and elevation is more common in men and postmenopausal women. Although some studies have found an association with high homocysteine levels and heart disease, whether or not homocysteine is a risk factor for heart disease remains controversial.
During the last 2 decades, a connection between mild to moderate elevations of homocysteine and heart disease has shown up in some, but not all studies. Organizations like the American Heart Association (AHA) do not currently identify high homocysteine levels as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
If you have not yet been tested, do not be surprised if your doctor is somewhat reluctant to measure your homocysteine level. If other risk factors for heart disease are already present, knowing that your homocysteine level is elevated may not change your treatment. However, according to the AHA, getting screened for homocysteine levels may be useful if you have a personal or family history of cardiovascular disease and do not have the common risk factors, like smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol.
What If You Have Elevated Homocysteine Levels?
Homocysteine levels are reduced when intake of folate, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 is increased. However, studies have not shown that taking these vitamins can prevent or treat cardiovascular disease.
The AHA suggests that people at high risk should make sure they are getting enough folate, vitamin B6, and B12 in their diet. Your doctor can give you specific recommendations about the appropriate dosages for you. Here are the general recommendations for daily intake of folate, vitamin B6, and B12:
- Folate
- Males and females aged 14 and older—400 micrograms (mcg)
- Vitamin B6
- Males aged 19-50 years—1.3 milligrams (mg)
- Males aged 51 years and older—1.7 mg
- Females aged 19-50 years—1.3 mg
- Females aged 51 years and older—1.5 mg
- Vitamin B12
- Males and females aged 14 years and older—2.4 micrograms
Here are a few examples of foods that are high in these vitamins:
- Folate—citrus fruits, fortified breakfast cereal, vegetables
- Vitamin B6—fortified breakfast cereal, bananas, baked potatoes with skin
- Vitamin B12—fortified breakfast cereal, fish, meat, poultry, and dairy products
If you are concerned about your risk factors for heart disease or if you would like to take supplements, talk to your doctor to decide what the best approach would be based on your health and diet.

Rabbi Isaac Luria (1534-1572) is the greatest figure of Safed's golden age of Kabbalah. Although he lived in Safed for only a few years prior to his death, the rabbi, also known as the Ari (an acrostic that also means "lion" in Hebrew), left his mark deeply on the city and on the study of the great mystic work, the Zohar.
The Ari's Mikveh is built around a small natural spring near the upper entrance to the old cemetery. On his deathbed the Ari instructed that his body be washed here. During these preparations for his burial, tradition says he rose miraculously to immerse himself.
About 100 yards further down the hill is the Ari's Tomb. Taller than the surrounding grave stones, it is also has a glassed-in portion containing an eternal flame. Near the Ari's tomb is that of his son, Rabbi Moshe Luria. A tree grows from within this tomb, on which prayer notes are hung in plastic bags. On the Ari's death date, the fifth of the Hebrew month of Av, a huge commemoration ceremony is held at his tomb.

Kandi Technologies (KNDI) was soaring 17.5% at recent check as the auto maker announced that the Chinese government will offer subsidies for electric cars.
The long-awaited policy covers not only pure electric vehicles, but also plug-in hybrid electric and fuel cell battery cars, and runs through 2015. According to the report, the government would offer up to RMB 60,000 (approximately USD 9,800) for the purchase of an all-electric passenger vehicle and up to RMB 500,000 (approximately USD 81,700) for the purchase of an electric bus.
However, the news did little to stop Tesla (TSLA), which was revving toward fresh all-time highs, up more than 5% to $174.78.
Nor did news Wednesday that Volkswagen plans to have electric vehicles for sale in the U.S. by 2015.
However, Tesla plans to have its own innovations to offer not long after that year, as CEO Elon Musk said that it is designing a self-driving car that will be available within the next three years. The company is obviously taking aim at Google (GOOG), so far the leader in auto-pilot cars.
Deutsche Bank boosted its price target for Tesla to $200 yesterday. Also, Northland Securities is making positive comments on the stock today, reports Briefing.com.

Last month, Rolf Apweiler and I were kindly asked by Nature Jobs to comment on our career paths to becoming Associate Directors at the EBI (which will happen in April). The final piece focuses on just one of our career paths (mine). You can read the article here:
It is very positive about me, about the EBI and about the other institutions I went through. It's a good thing, mainly because it raises the EBI's profile. However, some important things were missed that I would like to mention here - in particular, I think it's important to acknowledge the people I've been lucky enough to work with over the years, and who have made a positive impact on my career.
So, in the manner of "Have I got a bit more news for you", ie, the slightly more expanded view, here's my additions to the interview.
How did you launch your scientific career?
I was always drawn to biology. After secondary school, I went to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) in New York for my gap year and really fell in love with science. This was mainly because of the atmosphere, getting stuck into hard problems and knowing that there was no such thing as stupid question. I worked in Adrian Krainer's laboratory, where I did both experimental and computational work and ended up publishing my very first paper. A year later, when I was at Oxford, Adrian and I published a more substantial paper.
Although Jim Watson at CSHL did have a direct impact on my career, I'd like to emphasise that all the other people at CSHL - Adrian Krainer, Rich Roberts, Winship Herr - had just as much influence, if not more. I spent quite some time with Jim, who is undoubtedly a very interesting character (eccentrically, I lived in his house for most of that year). By all accounts Jim was a big part of CSHL's transformation from a sleepy summer camp for science to a place with a unique environment and attitude that I found really inspiring.
Describe the most significant turning point in your career?
I was a graduate student at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute with my mentor Richard Durbin (it was called the Sanger Centre then...) and was involved in the Human Genome Project. It was a totally crazy time because of the competition between the public project and the private one. Because of this, I effectively skipped the postdoc phase, going straight from being a PhD to being a Team Leader (PI level) at EBI.
What was your biggest accomplishment there?
Three of us - Michele Clamp, Tim Hubbard and myself - started the Ensembl project to provide annotation of the human genome. All three of us worked like idiots, sometimes having to come up with entirely novel solutions to a problem within weeks.
How did you come to bioinformatics?
Crafting a computer method to do precisely what you want - in a search or analysis - is at the heart of bioinformatics. In general I think about what problem I would like to address, then try to fit a method to it. Ever since I was taught C programming by Sanjay Kumar at CSHL, I've used whatever methods or tools I can find to resolve a biological question. For example, very early I adapted a programme to scan databases of expressed sequence tags, short bits of DNA that help identify genes. I continue to teach myself programming and statistics. Often I find myself rediscovering a more fundamental bit of computer science or statistics. For example, de Bruijn graphs are used by computer scientists to understand concepts in combinatorial mathematics - but I had to play around with another topic (data structure compression) to truly understand its potential applications to assemblies. Once I did, it opened up new opportunities in solving assembly problems, which my PhD student Daniel Zerbino and I then exploited.
There is this curious interplay between learning statistics and computational methods, and rediscovering them to tackle a specific problem. Very often we use established computational or statistical methods, but they may need a slight twist to make them really fit to the biological problem. While I make no claim to being a hard-core statistician, I think that 'slight twist' is perhaps my niche. Bioinformatics is not quite as easy as leafing through standards stats and choosing the right published method; an element of creativity to find the way to tweak a method or recast a problem is absolutely critical.
Bioinformatics is part of biology, rather than a stand-alone discipline. The bioinformatics/computational biology revolution happening now is similar to the 'molecular biology revolution' in the 1970s and 80s, which adapted a very physical, protein-oriented biochemistry to one that made use of cloning, expression, Southerns/Northerns &c. to address biological problems. This new methodology does not invalidate the older proteins/columns/kinetics view of biochemsitry; it simply gives another dimension to the toolkit. I would argue that bioinformatics has already become an everyday part of modern biology, and that it has begun to filter through the entire system.
What will be your managerial focus at the EBI?
In 2006 I handed off Ensembl to my colleague Paul Flicek on the EBI side, who has developed the resource far better than I would have. It is wrenching to let go of something you've helped to create. But you have to if you want it to flourish.
Hiring Paul was one of the best decisions I've made. In terms of playing a more managerial role, I think the most important things are hiring good people and taking mentoring seriously. The hard part is shifting from making tactical decisions to making strategic ones.
I also want to add that one thing I'll regret as I take on the new co-Associate Director job is working on the kind of big scientific consortia I've been so involved with over the past decade - human, mouse, chicken and above all ENCODE. That work has been a huge part of my career and I'm sure I will miss being so deeply involved in that kind of research.
What is the secret of your success?
I'm very happy with how this turned out in Nature Jobs: "I just really enjoy the science. And that has helped me to get through some difficult times, when I've pushed myself and other perhaps too hard. The other thing that leads to success is trusting collaborators and the people you hire; I think that often we don't put enough trust in the scientists around us and it hinders progress. I am very lucky to be a part of the EBI and to moving into a more central role. I enjoy nearly everything about it, although there are one or two meetings I could do without."
But I do want to stress that the people in my career have made all he difference. My mentors Adrian Krainer and Richard Durbin; peers like Tim Hubbard, Michele Clamp and Paul Flicek; students like Daniel Zerbino. It is almost painful to read any profile of my career that does not include all of these names. Others to shout from the rooftops would be Janet Thornton, who has had - and continues to have - a big influence on me. Iain Campbell at Oxford and Toby Gibson at EMBL also played pivotal roles in my development. Other big gaps include: peers like Alex Bateman, Jason Staijch and Lincoln Stein, along with whole ENCODE crew... Students Laurence Ettwiller, Benedict Paten, Michael Hoffman, Daniel Zerbino, Alison Meynert, Dace Ruklisa and Markus Hsi-yang Fritz... But then, to give the journalist credit, I can see how an article with so many names might start to look like a phone book.
A career profile is usually about one person. But I think there was really a missed opportunity here because Rolf and I have had such different career paths and approaches (understatement), and have now ended up with a shared goal but bringing different skills to the task.
Actually, I think a side-by-side Q&A with me and Rolf would be a good idea for a future blog post!

Ranch dressing and cream of celery soup offsets the spice from buffalo wing sauce in a satisfying, meat-and-potatoes casserole.
For authentic flavor, go with red hot buffalo wing sauce. Other flavors to try include teriyaki, sweet and sour or barbecue.
For a cheesy hash brown side dish, omit the chicken and wing sauce. Serve casserole with barbecued chicken or baked ham.
Try using precut chicken tenders to make prep time shorter.
Serve with additional blue cheese dressing.

By Ray Van Dusen/Monroe Journal
ABERDEEN – A debate regarding the benefits of paving versus chip sealing launched into a lengthy discussion regarding the $5 million bond issue to repair the county's roads during the Sept. 21 meeting of the Monroe County Board of Supervisors.
The talks began with regards to the county's four-year road plan, which is updated each February. Road manager Sonny Clay makes recommendations regarding roads in needs of repair.
Tomey is pushing for a joint effort of the supervisors to review road conditions throughout the whole county to validate Clay's recommendations.
"You have the obligation to come over to my district and tell me what needs to be done," said District 5 Supervisor Robert Tomey to the rest of the board.
"I want to know what roads I'm voting on and we can't do a road plan in a day. I suggest we spend two days in October and two days in November to visit these roads."
Board attorney John Creekmore relayed the attorney general's recommendations that the county road manager administers the county's road department and takes the responsibility of maintaining roads within budget, but that the supervisors can overturn an act of the road manager by a majority vote.
"As we visit each other's roads, I think we can benefit by seeing each other's roads and then we can evaluate if it makes sense to overlay or not," Tomey said.
The discussion was the continuation of a meeting from the board's Sept. 4 meeting that began the process of pursuing a $5 million bond issue to repair county roads.
The mileage of roads per district and soil conditions causing for more problems more than others in certain districts draw the debate of how to distribute the money, given the bond passes.
"The people in the second district elected me so I need to look out for their district," said District 2 Supervisor Billy Kirkpatrick.
"I want my people to have a voice, but I want to benefit everybody. We all stand to benefit, but if we can't agree on this, nobody will," said District 1 Supervisor Doug Wiggins.
Wiggins' district also encompasses all of Smithville's city streets, in addition to several miles of county roads.
Clay advised the price of material has the potential to increase the longer supervisors deliberate on the bond issue.
"I wish there was some way you would all come together. We saw how inflation took a major toll and this is a way to save the taxpayers' dollars and still repair these roads. Somehow you need to throw politics away and see what's for the best," Clay said.
By a motion made by Tomey and seconded by District 4 Supervisor Fulton Ware, the board adopted two resolutions to pursue the process of the road bond. District 3 Supervisor Carol Crawford voted in favor of the motion with Wiggins and Kirkpatrick voting against.
In other business, the board of supervisors approved

Copper Long Handle Spade
- Summary
This spade is handcrafted by Austrian coppersmiths, who forge each heirloom-quality tool from tin bronze - a hardwearing, rust resistant copper alloy that contains 94% copper. The gleaming head is honed to a sharp edge that slides easily into soil and slices through hardened earth. As it contacts soil, the blade deposits minute amounts of copper that promote water absorption and help to repel slugs and snails.
- Crafted for enduring quality, with honed edges that retain their sharpness.
- Hand forged to premium hardness, then polished to a high shine and left unsealed.
- Rust-resistant metal ages naturally to an attractive bronze patina.
- Small footrests at the top of the blade allow good leverage.
- Steam-bent solid ash shaft is sanded and left unsealed; topped with a solid beech T-handle.
- Shaft can be personalized.
- Copper and brass fittings.
- As with any handcrafted item, subtle imperfections, textures and irregularities are to be expected, and are part of the unique beauty of each piece.
- 9 1/2" x 6" head, 45" long overall; 3.3 lb.
- Made in Austria and Hungary.
- Use & Care
- Bronze retains its color best when used frequently. Less-frequent use will encourage a verdigris patina to develop.
- To clean, simply rinse with clear water; dry thoroughly.
- The edge can be sharpened periodically with a whetstone, file or by peening (hammering against a steel anvil).
- Condition handle with linseed oil or beeswax, if desired.
- Store in a cool, dry place.

Phone Systems: Quick Tips
Picking the right phone system for your business can be a challenge. Not only are there a number of digital phone systems to choose from, there are specific business phone systems designed for small businesses, large corporations, and everything in between.
The Best System For Your Business
The right phone system for your small business is one that offers the features you need at a cost that's within your budget. Of course, there are several other factors to consider in addition to the number of system users:
- How many employees you currently have
- Prospects for future growth
- Compatibility with your current hardware or internet connection
- Services you will need including video conferencing or mobile access
- How much you can afford, your call volume
- Your geographic location,
- Your level of technological knowledge and access to IT support
Before you begin comparing phone system vendors, it's a good idea to research the basics: what types of systems are available, the requirements and costs of each, and how different phone systems function. The smart business owner is always armed with information before making a big purchase. Here's a quick overview to get you started:
Head to our Buyer's Guide to Determine Your Business Needs.
Different Types of Telephone Systems
- Key Systems - Also known as KSU (key system unit). These systems are typically for companies with between 5 and 40 employees, and are what most people think about when they imagine an office phone system. Key systems employ a "phone cabinet" that houses routing software, and use the public switched telephone network (PTSN) or landline system to route calls.
- PBX Systems - Also known as Private Branch Exchange (PBX). These phone systems are for companies with more than 40 employees. PBX systems will give your company advanced functionality, and are highly customizable. PBX systems are completely programmable and can support complex implementation, so you may need to consider maintenance costs along with the costs of the system itself.
- Voice over IP (VoIP) - VoIP phone systems can offer significant cost savings as well as many other benefits. VoIP runs over Internet lines and routes your calls over a data network. Though internet connections have become pretty dependable, VoIP still relies on a good connection to operate, and could leave you susceptible to network outages and/or limited bandwidth.
How to Compare Digital Phone Systems Quotes
The backbone of your phone system is the VoIP service plan itself. Different companies look for certain qualities in a service plan. For example, business VoIP services offer various features including multiple extensions, video chat and mobile capabilities that don't need to operate over a phone line.
Still not sure? Read through our Tips for Phone System Buyers.
Setting Up the Latest Digital Systems
If you are using a traditional phone system, a large portion of your total phone system budget will be spent on equipment. Phones, wiring, headsets, etc. will all need to be compatible with the system you choose, but in some cases, you may be able to use your current equipment with the new system. Equipment options include:
- Phones: If you currently use a landline-based system, don't worry, you don't need to throw all of your equipment into the recycling bin when you choose to go digital. Many businesses use a desktop handset, which is what comes to mind when you think of an office phone. Less expensive than desktop phones are headsets: a standard headset with microphone and ear piece usually costs less than $50. More advanced phones with videoconference features, LCD media screens, call tracking and monitoring.
- Wireless Connection: The majority of VoIP systems these days operate wirelessly. The days of slow dial-up modems are in the past, and now it is easier than ever to set up your own wireless router to get a fast connection. Wireless connectivity allows you to use your devices in areas that might not be covered by phone reception, and there is no additional cost to use web features instead of phone features.
- Mobile Apps: Mobile Apps are now available that can equip your mobile device with the latest VoIP features at little or no extra cost. As of July 2011, over a third of U.S. adults owned a smartphone (In-Stat). The mobile market has become massive, and many of the mobile apps are free and can also be used on PCs. Of these include video conferencing apps like Skype, free calling and text messaging apps like iCall, PInger, and WhatsApp Messenger. The apps themselves are sometimes free, but still depend on a reliable wireless internet connection in order to function properly.
Choosing a Provider
Choosing an office phone system can be overwhelming, in part because there are so many options. There are companies that serve every type of business- the key is to narrow your search to only those providers that meet your requirements.
Check out our guide to Choosing a Phone System Vendor to get started. And don't forget to review our vendors for VOIP phone systems.

Helping a friend of mine with her computer...oy! I have a degree in computer science but I don't use Vista since I use XP. But I can't find the Add/Remove area in the control panel for Vista. She has a lot of games and suchlike that need to be removed and I need to add on a virus scanner as the one she has is worthless. I know how to add the one I need, but not how to remove the worthless one she has!

Hmmmmm, that's weird. I have Vista, and my add/remove programs is in the Control Panel. Maybe her files are hidden? I think Vista likes to mess with you like that!
Posted 22 April 2008 - 07:30 PM
if she clicks on the program (rick click) & deleate a screen will come up to remove from the list or ask her to remove from program & it will take her to remove programs & she can decide which one she wants to remove from there.

Thank you so much! I was able to do a few....I'll be doing more tomorrow. I'm still stunned that she got a computer with Vista on a 512MB Memory and only a 120 GB HD that has been partitioned to C and D drives....oh brother!
I gotta do more diagnostics tomorrow and clean up her computer. Unfortunatly she also didn't know how to shut down the computer properly or reboot properly...so I had to show her how to do that.

that is no where near enough ram is it?
Posted 23 April 2008 - 09:28 AM
No it isn't. I've advised her to get more RAM and just got the name of the guy we both need to go to from my dad. I do software diagnostics not hardware upgrades
Posted 23 April 2008 - 11:50 AM
I'm shocked that vista is even running

Welcome! I'm not a commercial designer or a designer. Someone may be able to answer your question. Are you already doing layouts, and have learned your program and how to use the products? That's probably the first step, then become accomplished at making your own products, then submit them. I'm sure it takes awhile to get to that point. We have some very very good designers, the best around. From what I can tell, they first started doing layouts, then progressed to the next step.
Since I don't know what you are doing or what program you are using, I may not be answering your question.

One very important thing you need to know is that you MUST use only Commercial Use items for reselling. Even the fonts you use for word art must be for Commercial use.

I've been designing for years- I do it for a local brick and mortar scrapbooking store here in Maui. Only recently thought about doing digital.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 11:51 AM
I would start by building up your commercial supplies. Take advantage of the commercial sales when Scrap Girls has them. As for advertising and stuff like that, I have no idea. I've never been interested in selling my layouts....it's too much like work then, lol!

BrewStation 6 Cup Coffee Maker
Description & Highlights
Hamilton Beach BrewStation 6 Cup Coffee Maker - Black
Quickly fill up your cup of coffee with the Hamilton Beach BrewStation 6 Cup Coffee Maker (48274). Without the use of a carafe, there's no more pouring and spilling or even hot steam to burn your hand when serving. To serve up the perfect amount of coffee, you simply push your mug against the dispenser button as you would with a refrigerator's water dispenser. One-handed operation allows you to press and release whenever you wish for just the right amount of coffee.
Since there's no carafe, the coffee is held in a thermal insulated coffee reservoir that maintains the perfect serving temperature without burning your coffee like so many hot plates can. Your coffee stays fresh for a longer amount of time, and always tastes its best. The control panel features an easy-to-read digital display as well as programmable features for automatic operation. The automatic shut-off ensures safety and the solid black construction and drip tray make this coffee maker a cinch to keep clean.
One-Handed Coffee Dispensing:Without the need for a carafe, there's no pouring or spilling as you conveniently serve coffee by pushing your mug against the dispenser button
Thermal Insulated Coffee Reservoir:No more burnt coffee since there's no hot plate to overheat it -- just a heated and insulated tank that maintains the perfect temperature at all times

New from Pypes and LMPerformance: The Phantom Series Cat-Back systems are a new spin on our already popular line of cat-backs for Ford, GM and Mopar modern muscle cars. They feature all the same high quality features you have come to know of Pypes systems but include black high temp powder coated tips. The powder coating is applied directly over our 304 stainless tip to give your customers that stealthy look and maximum longevity.2.5" 2005-10 V6 409 SS Mid-muffler mandrel bent System w/ street-legal X-pipe, mid-pipes, Pypes M-80 Mufflers & Muffler-delete Axle-back with 4 Polished 304 SS Tips ** allows V6 owners to convert to true dual **
This kit is the first mid muffler system for the 2005-08 Mustang. Many owners have been looking for 'That sound' that seems to be missing from the rear mufflered car. Here it is!
History and information about Pypes Exhaust and their products.
Pypes' Exhaust systems are one of the best exhaust systems on the market for price and superior quality. Get the sound you want from your Muscle Car with the Pype Bomb or a Pypes full exhaust from LMPerformance .
Pypes manufacturers a wide array of systems for a large range of vehicles. Pypes exhaust systems and crossover systems are a very popular choice of early Muscle cars such as the OLDS 442, B-Body, A-Body, G-Body, and the 1967-81 Camaros and Firebirds.
Pypes also manufacturers headers for the new Mustang and Camaro. These systems feature 304 stainless steel and are available with or without Xpipes.
Pypes' Mustang exhaust products are made of stainless steel materials for quality and durability. Don't forget Pypes 1997-2004 C5 Corvette 2.5'' w/ Violator Mufflers & Dual Tips. This system has the exclusive "Slingshot Technology" for maximum power and little volume increase.
The Pypes Pype Bomb utilizes a unique louvered core resonated dual wall 304 stainless tip to give you that American Muscle Car sound without the popping associated with other lesser kits. Pype Bombs are available for the 5th Generation Camaro as well as Mustang from 2005 to 2014.
Most of the Pypes full systems have a custom designed X-pipe and cost less than many others that do not include a crossover. With the Pypes brand you can performance match your system by choosing your own muffler, a big plus. In that way you can decide on your own sound and horsepower requirements.
The X-change Xpipe by Pypes is a unique and convenient way of adding electric cutouts to your Xpipe. Expect to gain 15-25 HP on all of our crossover models! Open Port Exhaust provides a straight path when uncapped yet still utilizes the benefits of our crossover technology for an extra 10-15 HP. X-Change is also the perfect crossover to use when adding HVE10 electric cutouts.
Pypes full exhaust systems include a choice of 3 different mufflers. The Violator Muffler is Pypes' loudest offering, The StreetPro which is their straight through perforated core muffler type offering is popular with the Muscle car customer as well as late model muscle cars with MDS such as the R/T Challenger and Charger. The RacePro is actually PYPes' quietest muffler type for those highly modified muscle cars.
If you are in the market for Pypes exhaust systems, mid-pipes, exhaust cutouts, exhaust down pipes, exhaust hangers, stacks, tailpipes, headers, or mufflers you have come to the right site. You can find the Pypes part you need for your Buick, Chevrolet, dodge, Ford, GMC, Oldsmobile, Plymouth and Pontiac at LMPerformance and you'll find a great price and free shipping.
The aftermarket performance exhaust industry is a very competitive one and in order to stay ahead of the game you need to be prepared to give the discriminating customer a nonpareil product that is not only superior in quality but affordable and the team at PYPES does just that. The compilation of a first rate research and development team, manufacturing gurus and quality control experts serves PYPES well when it comes to innovation and quality of product and their commitment to customer service and desire for excellence in the performance field makes them one of the leaders. When PYPES focused on aftermarket exhausts they knew that the sound of the system was of primo importance to the consummate driver and consequently they put this challenge to their research and development team who succeeded in giving you not one choice but three with their sui generis muffler types that let you custom design your own system. Don't let your factory installed exhaust system rob your car of its potential but rather free up the power available by considering a new aftermarket performance exhaust by PYPES that will allow for a much better exhaust path so that your car's exhaust gases can disappear more quickly, your car's engine can breathe better and more fuel and air can be burned, giving you that much coveted power.
