Typically, as a small business owner you will be responsible for everything, from marketing to maintenance. Expect to spend long hours (perhaps 10 to 12 hours per day) on the business for the first few years. Carefully consider your personal needs and those of your family before taking on this commitment.
Finding the right kind of business is an individual choice. Your personal expertise, management skills, and financial capacity will help in making this decision. Take inventory of your knowledge, interests, talents, and resources. There are books and self-tests that can help.
When a student asks us to do so, the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities, provides reasonable accommodations such as readers, scribes, signed language interpreters, and assistive technology.
At no time does a student pay fees for reasonable accommodations. However, personal services such as personal care attendants, drivers, etc. or personal devices such as tape recorders, software, etc. which would need to be taken home are the responsibility of the student.
No student can be denied access to any program based solely on his or her disability. All students must adhere to the standards of the program with necessary accommodations made according to his or her disability so long as the accommodations do not fundamentally alter the objectives of the program. When the standards are not met and the student has been given appropriate accommodations, it is reasonable that the student may be denied certification in the program.
There are four basics of success in small business:
Few people start a business with all of these bases covered. Honestly assess your own experience and skills; then look for partners or key employees to compensate for your deficiencies.
Personal savings or money from family and friends finances more than 75% of start-up businesses. Willingness to commit your own funds is often the first financing step. It is certainly the best indicator of how serious you are about your business. Risking your own money gives confidence for others to invest in your business. Banks are an obvious source of funds. Other loan sources include commercial finance companies, venture capital firms, local development companies and life insurance companies. Trade credit, selling stock and equipment leasing offer alternatives to borrowing. Leasing, for example, can be an advantage because it does not tie up your cash. Ask your local SBDC office for information about the various sources of funding available.
Small business today faces growing inventory requirements, increased customer expectations, rising costs and intense competition. Computers can provide information that leads to better management of resources. At the same time, they help you cope with the many other pressures of your business. Computers are not cure-alls, however, and considerable care should be given to:
There are four basic aspects of marketing, often called the "four P's":
As you can see, marketing encompasses much more than just advertising or selling. For example, a major part of marketing involves researching your customers: What do they want? What can they afford? What do they think? Your understanding and application of the answers to such questions play a major role in the success or failure of your business.
The principles of determining market share and market potential are the same for all geographic areas. First determine a customer profile (who) and the geographic size of the market (how many). This is the general market potential. Knowing the number and strength of your competitors (and then estimating the share of business you will take from them) will give you the market potential specific to your enterprise.
Your business growth will be influenced by how well you plan and execute an advertising program. Because it is one of the main creators of your business' image, it must be well planned and well budgeted. Contact local advertising agencies or a local SBDC office to assist you in devising an effective advertising strategy.
The price of a service or item is based on three basic production costs:
After these costs are determined, a price is then selected that will be both profitable and competitive. Because pricing can be a complicated process, you may wish to seek help from an expert.
You have done your homework:
• You have a complete business plan.
• You know where you want to operate.
• You know how much cash you will need.
• You have specific information on employee, vendor and market possibilities.
You now may want someone to look over your plans objectively. Contact the business department at a local college for another opinion. A counselor at the Small Business Development Center can also review your work and help with the fine-tuning. Then, when you have made the final decision to go ahead, it is time to call the bank and get going. Good luck!
You can find forecasts of the "top businesses for the '2000s" in books and magazines. However, much depends on timing, location, hard work, and luck. Research your business and industry thoroughly.
Many small businesses fail. There are no guarantees, but studies have shown that careful planning and objective evaluation will increase your chances for a successful business.

Not even Carmelo Anthony had this kind of debut.
Jonny Flynn scored 28 points on 10 of 12 shooting and six threes leading Syracuse to a 97-89 win over Siena at the Carrier Dome Monday night in the opening round of the NIT Tip Off Classic.
Flynns points were the most ever by a freshman in his first game with SU, eclipsing Anthonys mark of 27.
Eric Devendorf scored 19 points, 16 in the first half while Donte Green and Paul Harris each chipped in 14.
Siena was led by Kenny Hasbrouck with 24 points. The Saints trailed by 14 at halftime, but twice in the second half pulled within four, including once in the final four minutes, but the Orange scored 14 of the last 20 to pull away.

January 17, 2011 — The Project on Government Oversight, a consumer watchdog group, in a letter last week called for an FDA advisory committee to reassess safety warnings for certain birth control pills because some panel members have ties to the drugs' makers, Reuters reports (Yukhananov, Reuters, 1/12).
On Dec. 8, 2011, the advisory panel recommended additional safety warnings on the risk of blood clots from newer birth control pills that contain the hormone drospirenone. Drospirenone is a form of progestin found in Bayer's Yaz, Yasmin, Beyaz and Safyral, as well as other birth control pills.
After spending nine hours debating inconsistent data from studies on the risk of blood clots, the panel voted 21-5 in favor of altering the labels. However, the panel voted 15-11 to affirm that the benefits of the drugs for preventing pregnancy outweigh their risks. FDA did not set a schedule for making any changes to the labels (Women's Health Policy Report, 12/9/11).
According to POGO, court and public documents show that three members of the 26-member advisory committee had research or financial connections to Bayer, while a fourth member had ties to Barr Laboratories, which makes a generic version of Yaz. POGO said the four members voted in favor of keeping the pills on the market, arguing that their benefits outweighed their risks.
In its letter, POGO calls on FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg to dismiss the panel's vote and assemble a new advisory panel to reexamine the pills' safety. Three of the panel members told POGO that their votes were not influenced by their connections, while the fourth declined to comment.
According to Reuters, it is not clear whether FDA knew about the advisers' connections. The agency can issue waivers to panelists who have financial ties with the industry, but past ties are not usually considered and no waivers were issued in this case (Reuters, 1/12).

Do you wish for a Christmas without shopping?
December 11, 2012 @ 1:43 pm (Updated: 6:37 am - 12/12/12 )
Several people I've spoken to lately have expressed, explicitly or implicitly, a great deal of stress regarding the expense of the Christmas season. I've heard the same from people I've stood in line by while at the store. The economy has not been good, people are feeling it, yet there is a pressure to spend anyway.
It makes me wonder, might those folks feeling stressed about it improve Christmas by taking a holiday from shopping? If not a complete holiday, at least a holiday from shopping for adults and maybe limiting the number of gifts for kids. Would Christmas still be Christmas? Could they still have as much or more fun?
My bet is that they would--and that other adults in their family feeling the same pinch but not expressing it would be grateful for the holiday from holiday spending.
So if the season has you stressed and cash flow is the reason, talk about it with your family and cut way back on expenses. Limit gifts to whatever $10 can buy. Make it a joke contest. Whatever you do, try to reprioritize so that Christmas does not become a season to dread (and pay for) throughout the year.

The old action heroes gather one more time for "The Expendables 2" - and presumably a paycheck.
We guess that the stars - Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger - had a better time making the film than the audience likely has watching it. There is plenty of action, of course. The only problem is, it's hard to tell if the film's humor is self-parody or unintentional.
Either way, it's not great, but if you're in the mood for it, "The Expendables 2" is perfectly mindless entertainment.
For the gift list
There are a few interesting gift sets to
ponder:"Doctor Who: Limited Edition Gift Set" includes the complete seasons 1 through 6 covering the ninth, 10th and 11th Doctors (Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith), plus hours of bonus features. There are three new Doctor specials on DVD for the first time, and the set also includes a collectible 11th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver, three original art cards and the comic book "Doctor Who at Comic-Con."
"Tarantino XX 8-Film Collection" includes "Reservoir Dogs," "True Romance," "Pulp Fiction," "Jackie Brown," "Kill Bill Vol. 1," "Kill Bill Vol. 2," "Death Proof" and "Inglourious Basterds," plus two discs with five hours of new bonus material.
"Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season - Collector's Edition" includes the first season of the series. The collector's box set is adorned with the sigils of the four main houses and comes with a premium dragon egg paperweight, a Blu-ray bonus disc of the first episode of Season 2, as well as all of the bonus materials and interactive features from the original DVD and Blu-ray releases.
Then there is the Criterion edition of "Heaven's Gate" directed by Michael Cimino, Oscar winner for "The Deer Hunter." Though it was maligned at the time of its 1980 release and a giant box-office flop, critics have come to reassess the ambitious film, based on the real-life bloody Johnson County War of 1892 in Wyoming, in which rich cattle barons drove the area's European settlers from their land. Released in a truncated form, even the original had some glorious moments of filmmaking. This is the full director's cut, letting viewers judge for themselves Cimino's true intentions.
And don't forget Ken Burns' timely and fascinating documentary "The Dust Bowl," which begins airing Sunday night on PBS and is available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:
ANTELOPE FLAT RESERVOIR: Fishing has been slow, but anglers are still reporting 18- to 20-inch trout. Fishing should begin to pick up with the cooling weather.
BEND PINE NURSERY POND: Trout fishing should pick up with cooler temperatures.
BIG LAVA LAKE: No recent reports, but fishing should be good.
BIKINI POND: Warm temperatures have slowed rainbow trout fishing, but anglers might do well warm water fishing in nearby Columbia River backwater areas. The pond will be stocked with trophy rainbow the week of Oct. 8, if water temperatures cool.
CLEAR LAKE RESERVOIR: Water level in the reservoir is at low levels due to irrigation demand. Anglers typically find good fall success, but should be reminded the boat ramp may be difficult to access due to low water levels.
CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR: Trout fishing should pick up with cooling temperatures.
CRESCENT LAKE: Kokanee fishing has been good.
CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Fishing for trout has been good.
DAVIS LAKE: Water is much higher than normal, and all boat ramps are accessible. Please note this is a fly-fishing only lake. Please check your synopsis for the regulations for this water body.
DESCHUTES RIVER (mouth to the Pelton Regulating Dam): Summer steelhead fishing on the lower Deschutes remains good in October. Good numbers of fish are being found by anglers from the mouth upstream to the South Junction areal. Good numbers of fish are now passing Sherars Falls, and fishing will be improving upstream of Maupin. Good numbers of large B-run steelhead have been observed in recent creel samples. Good numbers of Fall chinook are now in the river, offering excellent opportunity. Limits of bright fall chinook have been reported from the Sherars Falls area.
DESCHUTES RIVER (Lake Billy Chinook to Bend): No recent reports, but there should be good fishing for rainbow and brown trout. Rainbow trout average 10 to 16 inches, while brown trout up to 26 inches are available. Anglers will find better access downstream of Lower Bridge.
EAST LAKE: Chub removal has resulted in larger trout and fewer incidental catches of chubs. Anglers have reported good fishing.
FALL RIVER: Fishing is good.
HOOD RIVER: A few summer steelhead are available in the Hood River. Anglers should be aware that warm temperatures will cause water quality issues, as glacial turbidity will hinder success during periods of warm summer weather. Hood River is closed for chinook fishing.
HOSMER LAKE: Open to fishing and annual population sampling indicates that Atlantic salmon and brook trout populations are healthy. Fishing on Hosmer is restricted to fly fishing with barbless hooks.
LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Fishing for smallmouth bass has been good. Fishing for kokanee has picked up as the fish are staging in the Metolius arm prior to entering the Metolius River to spawn.
LOST LAKE: Lost Lake has been stocked with legal and trophy-sized rainbow trout, and offers great opportunity during the heat of the summer. The combination of carry-over trout from 2011, newly stocked rainbow trout, and naturally produced brown trout makes Lost Lake a great place to take the family fishing.
METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Insect hatches should offer lots of opportunities for good dry-fly fishing.
NORTH TWIN: No recent reports, but earlier angler reports indicated better than average fishing.
OCHOCO RESERVOIR: No recent reports. With the warm water temperature, the best fishing will be for the bass, crappie and bullhead. Trout may still be caught but it will be more difficult than in the spring and fall. The low water may make launching a boat difficult.
ODELL LAKE: Kokanee fishing good on the lake's west end.
PAULINA LAKE: Fishing is good. ODFW recently completed chub trapping operations. The chub trapping program is designed to reduce competition with game species and increase the size of trout.
PINE HOLLOW RESERVOIR: Pine Hollow was recently stocked with trophy-sized rainbow and should provide good success. Fall fishing in Pine Hollow can be productive, as water temperatures cool.
PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Fishing for bass, crappie and bullhead catfish should be good. Anglers are reporting more bass and larger smallmouth bass than in recent years. Anglers have reported catching larger trout than in recent years. Anglers should consult the 2012 Sport Fishing Regulations for maximum length requirements and bag limits for both largemouth and smallmouth bass.
PRINEVILLE YOUTH FISHING POND: Fishing will be best in the cooler times of the day, especially the morning.
ROCK CREEK RESERVOIR: Very low water levels will limit success.
SHEVLIN YOUTH FISHING POND: Shevlin has been stocked and is fishing well.
SOUTH TWIN LAKE: Fishing is good.
SUTTLE LAKE: Recent fish sampling showed excellent trophy brown trout opportunity.
TAYLOR LAKE: Fishing for large largemouth bass should be excellent. Trophy rainbow trout will be stocked the week of Oct. 8, if water temperatures cool.
WALTON LAKE: Fishing has been good with the best fishing occurring during the cooler times of the day and near the springs.
WICKIUP RESERVOIR: High water will spread out kokanee this fall, but there is opportunity for large kokanee.

This short article is by One Red Leaf Entertainment and gives us some information on Alexz's plans for recording her album this year.
The Instant Star actress is gearing up for new album release
by Nicole PajerSince portraying "Jude Harrison" on CTV's Instant Star, Alexz Johnson has shifted focus towards her music career. The Canadian singer/songwriter is in the process of recording the follow up to her 2012 EP, "Skipping Stone" – a project she funded through a Pledge Music campaign.
"I've been writing a ton this year," says Johnson who describes the vibe of the forthcoming album as "very soulful and pretty unique."
The album will feature a new track titled "Nothin' On Me," which Johnson performed on a recent Daytrotter session. A fan will also help her write a song as part of a reward of pledging $8k towards the album.
Johnson is splitting her time writing in Toronto and L.A. before heading into the studio in June. "The goal is to record around 15 tracks and pick the right ones from there," she explains.
The singer/actress is planning a UK tour in support of the release. Dates can be found at: alexzjohnson.com
While on tour Alexz stopped by Daytrotter and recorded a session there. The session was released today. You can listen to the entire session on their site by clicking here or using the players below:

changed management?. I think the manager and people have changed. I don't see Kathy and the girls working here anymore. I used to love this place because it was indeed the best nail salon and it just isn't the same anymore.
great place, great people, good prices. great manicures and pedicures. highly recommnded and the girls who work there are sweet to boot.
Best gel nails ever!. I have been going to Yen at Tip Top for years. She does the best gel overlay I have ever seen. I am a Salon owner. I own Back to Reality Hair Designs at 1233 S. 22nd. street in Philadelphia. Unfortunately we don't do nails there, we just focus on quality hair services, but I have a license to nails, and I know how to do nails. I hate doing my own nails that is why I go to Yen. I have been to several nail salons and spas, but they could not produce the same quality of service as Yen. Simply put they can not do a gel overlay on real nails. Go to Yen, you will not be disappointed!
Real comfortable setting...
I stop by Tip Top at least once a week. I'm a guy and like to get the mani/pedi because it's relaxing and I see no reason for my hands and feet to look beat up all the time. The people always make me feel welcome and no one gives me that "what's he doing in here?" look. All the girls are friendly and take their time.
It's ok guys, get you mani/pedi on! You can still be 100% manly. It's cool...
best place in phily to go and get a mani and pedi. My name is samatha i always walk by tip top salon every day after work but last week i decided that i want to get my nails done so i came in the salon the staff there were really friendly they took care of me they also answer all the question that i ask them about nails fungus or what can i do for my thin nails i love this place it's great .T he person that took care of me her name was Sarah
Thank you. Thank you for supporting Tip Top Nails throughout the years. We appreciate the support of our clients.
great nail service.
I originally came here because it was voted "Best Manicure and Pedicure" on FOX 29. It was difficult to locate at first because it was under the Hilton Hotel thing... but I'm glad I found it. It is right on 11th Street.
I got a 5 star pedicure and an excellent pink and white full set. I will definitely return every two weeks for my refill.
Be sure to set an appointment if you're going to come during the weekends. It gets very busy. It is best to come during the beginning of the week.
great specials.
I saw that Tip Top Nails was rated Best Manicure and Pedicure by FOX29, so I decided to give it a try. I visite their website and got this special coupon.
The experience was great. My mani and pedi were well done and I even got free designs!
Best Salon In Philly.
The staff are friendly and professional. My nails came out beautiful! This is the only salon I go to now. They have everything and it's just simply the best. And the prices are great!
They have a great website at tiptopnails. org
Love this place!. Now this is a nail salon! I was so happy when this salon opened up nearby! Great service and atmosphere!

You got that right...Public Education through High School. (you will not find me complaining about Oklahoma State income taxes, property taxes, or school taxes. I understand their use and they all have published budgets that for the most part make sense)
No college education. (so, no student loans) Husband has a degree, fully funded by working his tail off and paying for it.. not one single student loan.
No handouts from the Govt for our employers.
Just because I am pissed off about MY tax rate does not mean I think they should go get it from the poor!!! They should get their affairs in order and pay those who NEED PAYING and NOT the jackasses fishing under the Little Wewoka bridge.
Yes, we are earning good money and I don't mind paying a reasonable tax rate. That which we are paying right now is not reasonable. Especially while the GSA parties it up in Vegas and Roger Clemens might have lied about baseball.
Our govt is out of control while holding our checkbooks. In my opinion, the govt could rein in spending in areas OTHER THAN welfare and get a budget under control. But no, they want more tax dollars. So, where should they get more tax dollars? They piss off the Repubs by saying "you have money, so we want it" and it isnt very p.c. to say "tax the poor" but that gets you all wound up and ranting "vote democrat"
When the truth of the matter is:

I remember seeing the trailer for "The Revisionaries" in the theater and feeling my anger rise in the brief two minutes of screen time. I also paid close attention to the story upon which this documentary is based as it was happening halfway across the country from where I sat.

Big Fat Foodie Events to Anticipate, Starting With Salinas Valley Food & Wine
October 11, 2012
When Berlin does an intense "Take My Breath Away" in Salinas tomorrow night, many in the audience might shake their heads at how vivid the memory of Tom Cruise and Kelly McGinnis from the Top Gun scene remains.
I'll shake my head in amazement at how full the local foodie calendar has become, including the Salinas Valley Food & Wine Festival, which returns for year two with two weekends' worth of events and a much grander vision. The Berlin show is actually the official kick-off with $45 VIP packages that include catered grub in a private area (general admission at the Fox'll be $20).
"We are the capital of the greatest wine-growing county in the world," event chair and Salinas City Councilman Steve McShane says. "I don't want to promise the world, but it's going to be awesome."
Case in point: One attendee told me last year's al fresco main event in Oldtown was a cluster-you-know-what. This year the Saturday, Oct. 20, soiree occupies six blocks—and the Steinbeck Center.
Maybe the best thing: The access, food tasting and music are all free. (You pay $40 for a glass to taste a ton of wines and beer and access "premium entertainment.")
There are more exclusive events, like the 160-person "Purple Crush" dinner ($150) this Saturday, Oct. 13, with Chef Don Ferch of Contemporary Catering with Mark Manzoni doing the vino at the swank home of Don and Barbara Chapin (yes, there's a putting green, pool, bay views and a private bowling alley).
And the 100-person "Enchanted Vines" ($150) at Dr. and Mrs. Bryan Mansour's Pebble Beach mansion with five paired courses with Winemaker Steve Pessagno and wildman-budding celebrity Chef Todd Fisher—with dancing in the moonlight—and an "Enchanted vineyards" event spearheaded by
At the main event Oct. 20, there will be 40 pouring spots on the Salinas streets alone, 30 breweries in the beer garden and 30-plus food purveyors.
"Salinas Valley Alley" will have a dozen growers with product prepared for free tastings—salads, artichokes and such; the VIP area ($80), meanwhile, will have special live art exhibits, spirits tasting, a bubble bar and the aforementioned exclusive music.
In a word: Whoah.
••• There's two more biggies sneaking up right behind it in early November, and the two grandest of the year this spring, which are good to jump on now because they—or at least their more exclusive elements—sell out:
Nov. 1-4, 2012 Big Sur Food & Wine FestivalDozens of restaurants from the South Coast's increasingly foodified redwoods (think Sierra Mar, Ventana, Big Sur Bakery and Deetjen's) join forces with a few northerners (like Restaurant 1833) and dozens of top wineries from Paso Robles to Oregon's North Willamette Valley (like Bernardus, Alpha Omega, Talbott and Testarossa) for all sorts of soirees. Think restaurant-hosted winemaker dinners, grand tastings, Big Sur's trademarked wine-in-hand hiking through private estates, a grand finale night of gypsy swing plus the return of Wine and Swine marrying Niman Ranch pigs and Pinot. (831) 667-0800, http://www.bigsurfoodandwine.org
Nov. 10, 2012 Party in the Hangar The Monterey County Vintners and Growers Association's wine and food party fills the 20,000-square-foot Del Monte Aviation with wines from 40 wineries and also features local sparkling wines and caviar, a try-and-buy wine market, tastes from 10 local restaurants, appearances from local celebrity chef Todd Fisher (United States of Bacon), vintner Q and As, and food trucks including Bacon Bacon SF, Babaloo, Carmel Valley Coffee Roasting Compan y and others. (831) 375-9400, http://www.montereywines.org
April 4-7, 2013 Pebble Beach Food & Wine More than 50 superlative chefs like Thomas Keller, Masaharu Morimoto, Cindy Pawlcyn and Tyler Florence whip up nibbles for grand tastings and fill multi-chef kitchens for increasingly incredible dinners. More than 200 of the world's most illustrious wineries, meanwhile, also figure into the lunches, panels, demos and after-parties, as do cocktails, chocolate and cheeses. (866) 907-3663, http://www.pebblebeachfoodandwine.com
May 17-19, 2013 Cooking For Solutions Some of the best and most progressive chefs in the country reveal the joys of good-for-the-planet cooking at this Aquarium-based food fest. Dozens of national chefs are honored, rafts of standout local chefs host them and participate as well, and attendees bask in interactive demos, showdown showcases, farm tours, farmers markets, tastings and the sure-to-sell-out gala. The 11th annual promises Duskie Estes, Carla Hall, Chris Cosentino and Art Smith. (831) 648-4800, http://www.montereybayaquarium.org

I don't understand ur mentality about Tendulkar. I think, u already have some misunderstandings in ur mind about Tendulkar OR u r one of those persons who always find faults in everything. I suspect, in future, u doubt on Bradman's credential that he couldn't score mere 4 runs which would have turned his average to 100.
I have been reading ur articles & everytime I found u criticizing Sachin. Why man ? Why do u hate Sachin so much ? Being a cricket follower for so many years (ur biodata says u follow it since 1978), u should understand Sachin's contribution to Indian Cricket.
You can try ur best to prove Sachin wrong by hook or crook, by any means, u can't do that, NEVER.
Indian Cricket History will always be remembered by the name of Sachin.
I know - one can wake up a sleeping person, can't do it for one who pretends sleeping and u r one of those pretenders.
Get Well Soon Mamu !!!

I can't act in a play. In high school I was in a couple of plays and I learned something very important about myself. I can do fine in practice again and again. But, when the audience is assembled and the house lights come on, I go "up." My lines fly away and I need to be prompted or perhaps shoved down and replaced with someone who can keep her head about her and remember her lines. I have often wondered what happens to my brain when the "going up" happens. It feels like my mind becomes a blank slate.
My mom is 91. Up to now she has been a sharp and spry old lady. Up to recently. But, recently she has had more frequent episodes of forgetfulness. It is short term memory that is affected. She lost the dessert she made and money she had gotten to give for gifts at Christmas. She double shopped for pickles. These are all small things, small things. But I worry about what is happening to her mind when she goes up on her lines, when she forgets.
Short term memory loss happens to all of us if we live long enough. It is that dreaded "A" word, the beholder's disease. I want to prompt her and say "remember, remember, Remember!" but the mind doesn't work that way.
It is a reminder to enjoy the here and the now. It is a reminder to enjoy today and make plans for tomorrow. I don't know what happen to the brain when it forgets. I just know, that a cure hasn't been invented for it. I won't be appearing in any plays.

Somebody at Blackberry forgot to place the Z10 order....
I ordered some Z10's for my company on the 5th from Rogers and have been watching my order sit in prefullfilment for the last 10 days. Usually Rogers ships right away and i will get the order next business day. Since I had not yet received my order I called the enterprise rep today. He told me that my order hadn't been filled because they didn't have any Z10's. I asked if they had run out and he said that they had not yet received any at all!!!! He says only some of their retail stores received phones for the launch, and that they were still waiting on the initial shipment. Has anybody else on the corporate side ordered and not received their Z10's????
Sounds like maybe it's a rogers problem. BlackBerry Just ships. Now if they don't have any obviously it's a different story. But maybe rogers is covering their ***. Maybe blackberry is all out. But I doubt they forgot the order went arye(sry for spelling).
Yeah. Companies don't ship to the retail store directly all the time. They ship to a warehouse owned by the retailer which then ships to the networks of chains in its area for distribution. So when back ordered that may mean they have some out there somewhere
Typical rogers issues
Phones:Nokia 5110>Nokia 3360>Siemens C56>Moto RAZR>LG Chocolate>Pearl 8100>Bold 9000 > Bold 9900 >Z10 > Aristo
Tablets:16GB Playbook> Playbook 32GB + Playbook 16GB > ??? - 02-14-2013, 11:25 PM #10

Enterprise can't walk into a store. We haved to order through enterprise account reps. And they don't have any stock. Dissappointing. Say they haven't got any yet.
Dude - your photo scares the heck out of me.
Not sure why the title is blaming BlackBerry for this. Sounds like a Rogers issue to me ...------------------------------------
I keep hearing BlackBerry 10 referred to as a "1.0 operating system". It isn't.
- It isa complete departure from the old BlackBerry Operating System.
- *It is also the next evolution of BlackBerry Tablet OS and has much in common with 1.0-2.1 of the PlayBook Tablet OS
BB ships to Rogers.. its up to ROGERS who they want to sell the devices to... i'm sure BB doesn't sit there and go "hmm ok 10 to retentions, 15 to enterprise, 10 to retail stores"...

Raiders coach Hue Jackson pointed the finger at his defensive players, and they all were at a loss of words to explain why they couldn't execute better with the season on the line:
Safety Tyvon Branch
Q: Hue has continued to say that each loss is his fault. Today, he's saying it's on you guys …
A: I can't blame him for that, bro. It's his job as a coach to go out there and say it's on him, but we're out there on the field. So he can blame every (loss) on us if you ask me.
Q: Is there any sense this year with this defense that you were ever close to turning a corner?
A: I wish I could tell you what it was bro'. With all this talent, I wish I could tell you what it was, but I don't know. I don't know man.
Q: Was Rivers getting rid of the ball faster this time around? No sacks…
A: He was getting rid of it. You know? We was blitzing, and I was blitzing, and as soon as I got there, the ball was being thrown. So, he was getting rid of it today, and he was getting rid of it effectively.
Q: When did you find out Denver lost and you guys blew your playoff hopes?
A: It was during the game. We heard all the fans chanting. Continue reading

Original Artwork by Charles Mensinger & Ashley Villers
1700 55th St NE, N Canton, OH | Get Directions »
This weekend at Gervasi Vineyard & Italian Bistro during the Bellissimo Fine Arts & Crafts Show!
Our booth represents three generations---grandfather, daughters, and granddaughter.
The daughters and grandchildren want to recognize and remember the talent of Charles Mensinger and his beautiful watercolor paintings. All profits from his sales will be donated to the Charles Mensinger Memorial Fund through ArtsinStark to support art programs in local schools.
Charles Mensinger was a watercolor artist out of Northeast Ohio {Painesville & North Canton}. His works range from seascapes and lighthouses, countrysides and forests, and floral still-lifes.
His work inspired the work of his grandaughter, Ashley Villers {North Canton Artist & Educator} who has created her own style combining both the watercolor influence of her grandfather, and her own unique drawing style.
{We will give 20% off to anyone who mentions seeing this on Patch.}

Mosquitos Again
To combat my previous problem with mosquitos, my helpful colleagues at work suggested I get a bug-killer device that you plug into a wall (I don't know what you call them in English). You put some sort of anti-bug liquid inside it that is heated and vaporized. Don't ask me if it's okay for my health. We'll find out in 20 years. If Patrick and I both get cancer, then you'll have your answer and our families can sue Earth Chemical Co Ltd. Yes, they have an English Web site and yes, they are really called that. I suppose their motto could be: "Chemicals that are good for earth."
Patrick's theory was that the bug killer has to attract bugs first, so they come close enough to the vapors that kill them. The next thing I know, he has the window open only a tiny crack because he's convinced we'll have hoards of mosquitos coming through our bedroom window screens, wanting to partake of the deadly vapor.
Obviously, this is silly. Plus it defeats the purpose of buying the thing in the first place since the entire point is to sleep with the window wide open. It's not like we wake up to find dead mosquitos everywhere.
My best guess is that the device keeps bugs away. I think Patrick has confused the thing with cockroach hotels or "Gokiburi hoi hoi", which actually do attract those filthy bugs and trap them in a sticky glue-like substance.
Incidentally, Gokiburi hoi hoi was invented by the same environmentally friendly chemical people at the aforementioned Earth Chemical company. See the company history page on their Web site. It's listed AFTER they started making bath powder and BEFORE they created the rodent hotel.
At any rate, the electric anti-mosquito device works. I forgot to turn it on last night and I woke with a huge bite on my arm.

The Indoor Practice Facility -- or "The Bubble" as the players call it -- was one of the main reasons UT enjoyed another successful season. With the help of its new facility, the Horns posted their second consecutive 11-win campaign (a first in school history), the SBC Cotton Bowl Championship and a share of the Big 12 South title. Head coach Mack Brown credits part of the team's success in 2002 on the program's newest addition in the fall. Built at a cost of $4 million, construction on the facility began on May 14 and was completed five months later in time for the Longhorns' tough stretch of October road games. The remainder of the cosmetic construction -- brickwork, fencing and landscaping -- was completed six weeks later. Heery International, based out of Atlanta, served as the architect for the project. Hensel Phelps of Austin constructed the multi-purpose facility, while Yeadon Fabric Domes, Inc., added the three-layer outer bubble, which is inflated by a compressor. There also is a gas-based backup system that continually blows air in event of an extended power outage. The climate-controlled facility, which also is used by other UT athletics teams and the Longhorn Band, takes up more than 70,000 square feet and is 61 feet high at its peak. It has a full AstroPlay football field and a set of goal posts in the north end zone. Not only do the Longhorns now have full-squad workouts inside the new facility, but they also have worked on all phases of the kicking game, a much-needed luxury they did not have before last season.
