By JEANNE STARMACK
The inhabitants of 52 Seventh St. in Campbell aren't going to be happy when their house is torn down, but they're the only ones who will be sorry to see it go.
Several of them congregated on the front steps and in the doorway at the house last week, innocent of what's to come.
Their neighbor, David Green, hopes the house isn't demolished on top of them.
"There's some kittens in there, and the momma's there, too," he said.
There are also some stray cats in the garage, he said, and though he's been feeding the kittens, he can't catch them.
"They run from me," he said.
They'll have to run fast to escape the wrecking ball as 52 Seventh St. comes down this fall. It's one of 13 in the first batch of 137 abandoned houses and commercial buildings in Campbell to be demolished.
Aside from the occasional worries about some four-footed neighbors, many people in Campbell are looking forward to removal of the blight that's detracting from their own properties by drawing pests, trash and vandals.
With $727,000 in federal Neighborhood Stabilization Funds allotted for the Campbell properties, Mahoning County is on track to begin the demolitions soon, confirmed Anna DeAscentis, grants manager for the county commissioners.
All Excavating Inc. of Youngstown was the apparent low bidder at a bid opening for the first 13 properties Sept. 17. The company bid $32,700.
The contract has not been awarded yet, DeAscentis said.
On the bid form, the county specifies that all the work is to be finished and sites restored within 45 days of the authorization to proceed.
The demolitions include removing and disposing of debris and filling in basements.
On Devitt Avenue, Antoinette Cimmento and Mary Lee Frangos can't wait.
"It's been 28 years of my life," said Cimmento, about living next to abandoned 505 Devitt.
After the homeowner died, the house was left to a relative who didn't want anything to do with it, she said.
It was left to deteriorate for nearly three decades, though she and Frangos, who owns rental property on the street, tried to keep the yard clean.
"I cleaned that property up for 28 years," she said. "There's been animals living in it. Rats and stuff.
"The kids wrote nasty words on it," said Cimmento. "They must be doing it at night."
Frangos said that at different times through the years, she tried to buy the house. At first she was told it would be in a sheriff's auction, she said, but then discovered it was bundled in with other properties in a tax lien sale.
She said that she's tried to buy it from different companies, but they wanted too much money for it.
"That house is falling in," she said. "There's holes in the roof."
The Mahoning County Auditor's Web site indicates 505 Devitt has been owned since 2005 by Endeavor Real Estate Fund, LLC in Hauppague, N.Y.
There are delinquent property taxes in the amount of $1,858.
"It's still a nice neighborhood on Devitt," Frangos said. "It just runs down our property — a hindrance to anybody that lives here."
First 13 demolitions
The first 13 of 137 abandoned properties in Campbell to be demolished with Neighborhood Stabilization Funds will come down this fall.

I hope Cat Ladies Society can work with the County to save the cats and kittens. Isn't it inhumane to crush cats with a wrecking ball and falling debris?! At least give the moms with babies fair warning... give them time to move their litters!
If a person living in Mahoning County killed cats in the person's yard, the person would be charged with cruelty. Shouldn't the COUNTY and its officials face such charges if they allow demolition to KILL these cats??? !!!
Amen to that Lifenadir!! There are humane ways to catch them!! Give them a chance!!!
LIFESNADIR - You are correct! Yes the city and the Wrecking Company SHOULD be charged with animal cruelty, 1 count for every animal they crush IF they go ahead with this. I certainly hope a shelter steps up to help, but it is sad that the county, neighbor lady and wrecking company have no care about those poor animals' lives. Some of that Fedreal $$$ should go to housing those animals.
I can certainly understand people's compassion for animals. I would not necessarily want to see the cats crushed either.
Having said that, to say the county should be charged with animal cruelty for every animal that is potentially harmed by this proposed demolition is blatantly absurd.
How can anyone determine if an animal is harmed? You want them to dig through the rubble looking for survivors?
You understand that cats are not stupid and when they hear big ass machines heading their way they will move, and if not, that is what Darwin wrote about.
Who is going to actually administer these charges against the county? The county? I can see it now: "Yes, you used federal money to clean up urban blight in your city, gave a local company some business, removed crack dens and eye sores that were bringing property values down, but you also killed a cat that did not choose to move before you knocked down the structure. The cats rights were abused and you are charged with cruelty."
Where am I, San Francisco? This demolition is absolutely necessary and if some animals get smoked, that's life. Think of how many human lives are being saved. To ask the county to go through the house before demolition and save the stray animals living in the house is absurd. The whole thought process is skewed. You people do not live in the real world plain and simple.
Cats are wild animals by nature. Survival is an instinct they are born with. They will be allright, you however, may not.
Well Gonzo, so glad you cleared all that up! Glad to know YOUR interpretation of Natural Selection is the holy grail. I'm sure Darwin was not referring to a wrecking ball, but glad you have twisted this theory into your own hateful & arrogant words as usual. If you are saying that living in the "Real World" is YOUR world? I don't want any part of it.
What research have you done on these 'wild' animals known technically as "Domesticated Cats". Maybe before you let your hateful mind spew onto the keys in front of you, you should learn the difference betwen the words DOMESTICATED and WILD. I'll help you, since your world may not have a webster's dictionary. Wild is something like lions, tigers or bears. Domesticated Cats are like those homeless ones in Campbell.
I also found your hypocricy comical as you start your rant by stating "I would not necessarily want to see the cats crushed" and end your speech with "if some animals get smoked, that's life."
Great photo. I hope they can catch them without killing them.
What the hell is so hateful about what I said? Survival of the fittest is how nature operates. Clearly these cats are doing ok on their own. They live in a shack, no humans, and they are still procreating. I don't have to justify the fact that cats can inherently and instinctively fend for themselves. They are predators. Nature cannot make that any clearer. They will certainly find their survival mechanism if they have to.
I never advocated killing anything, I just stated that it would be ludicrous to try and charge the county with animal cruelty and doubly ludicrous to go house by house and try and save these animals before they demolish anything.
You are the one who has hate obviously. You took everything I wrote and spun it into your own diatribe. You attack my intelligence and tell me I have no compassion. I did not write anything that wasn't based in logic.
In the real world we cannot just shell out money to save stray cats before we demolish a building. You see money is not infinite and runs out and right now the tax base is small and money is scarce. So I guess the county made an executive decison not to pay somebody to go house to house and remove the cats and give them a nice home. Instead they decided to spend the money on something more costructive like cleaning up a neighborhood covered in crack houses. And for this, you want them charged with animal cruelty. That seems abundantly logical...on whatever planet you reside.
All the demolition in the world isn't going to help Campbell; all you will have left soon is a bunch of open fields. Much of Campbell will just end up returning to nature as the area continues to collapse. You might as well leave the cat house up for their sake; it won't make much difference in the long or short run.
i cannot believe the city is even saying that. i live in the country and u can catch farrells with a cage. just put cat food inside and the door will slam shut .. wa la problem solved. move on to another house to demolish then come back to this one. gez, do you guys need instructions ?
To Ytownboy--- How dare you talk about Campbell in that way. There are BEAUTIFUL, WELL BUILT,
homes in Campbell. I am a former Campbellite and PROUD of it.
Those homes were abandoned and gutted, not
by Campbell people. If the revenue of tax money was still coming in those would not be there.
Those homes were abandoned and gutted, not

I agree with you on that. However, the revenue isn't coming in.
Good point. Much of Ytown will someday be open fields.

I'm feeling stupid....
1 Attachment(s)
Ok, I'm still pretty green at :XX: and i'm a little :shifty: embarrassed to have to ask but..... I need help!
Thought i'd try an "easy idiot's" dishcloth for practice. OK... I got the:
CO4, K 1 row (now here's the hard part)Next row, k2 inc in next st, k1(what does k2 inc in next st mean? how many stitches should i now have?I'm thinking 6? so I can do the next row?)Next row, k2,yo,k to end of row. repeat the k2,yo,k until you have 45 sts on the needle. Complete instructions are above the pic in the description box.
well i am fairly green myself and you will prolly want to wait for a second opinion but i am thinking you will have 5 stitches and they are basically telling you to knit into the front and back of the next stitch.
To inc 2 in the next stitch, you can knit, purl, knit into the next stitch. So you're turning one st into three. If you just knit into the front and back, you'll increase one stitch.
So you cast on 4
Then your first st gets increased to 3, plus the other three makes 6.
Next row, and every row after that you're increasing one with the yo at the beginning of each row.
Your pic looks like it's coming out correctly.
I edited this because, well, I goofed and brendajos set me straightt. Kudos to her.
but it doesn't say she needs six stitches does it? am i reading it wrong?
ooooooh wait...does it say that you are suppose to do two increases into the next stitch?
I think the problem here is the the directions say you start with 4.
The next directions say inc2 in the next st, k1 That still equals four. It shouldn't, though.
I think it's reading K2 stitches, then increase into the next one (the 3rd st), and then k1. You should have 5 total at the end of this row.
The reason I don't think it's saying increase twice into the next stitch is that the pattern doesn't tell you what to do with the rest of the row. It just says K2 incr next stitch, k1. If you do that you're only working with two of the 4 stitches on that row. I don't think this is a short row pattern where you turn halfway through, or every row in the pattern would tell you to do that.
Also, notice how the pattern says to k2 at the beginning of every row? That's the other reason why I think it's k2, then inc.
oops. looks like my edits didn't make it in before your posts ladies. Does my logic make any more sense Bren?
yup yup yup :D

Christopher "Chris" Panitzke, 28, of Redwood Falls passed away and gained his wings Sunday, September 8, 2013 at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, September 14, 2013 from St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church in Redwood Falls with burial to follow in the Redwood Falls Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the church Friday, September 13, 2013, from 4 until 8 p.m., and will continue Saturday for one hour prior to services. Arrangements are with Nelson-Martin Funeral Service of Redwood Falls. E-mail condolences may be sent via www.nelsonmartinfuneralservice.com.
Christopher Allan Panitzke, the son of Randall Scott Panitzke and Joyce Ann (Zimmerli) Panitzke, was born January 30, 1985 in Willmar. He was baptized at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Belview and confirmed at St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church in Redwood Falls.
Chris grew up in Redwood Falls and attended elementary school at St. John Lutheran School. Following his graduation from Redwood Valley High School, Chris attended the Willmar campus of Ridgewater Community College.
Chris was blessed with a daughter, Ava Mae Ochs-Panitzke, in 2004. Ava was his pride and joy; he enjoyed spending as much time with her as possible.
During his high school years, Chris was employed by Tersteeg's, McDonald's and the City of Redwood Falls.
At the time of his death, he was working at Schult Homes in Redwood Falls – where he had been employed for the past eight years. Chris was also working as a personal care attendant for Divine Home Care, and farming his grandparent's farm and raising beef cattle there.
Chris was a member of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church. He loved the outdoors – and in particular hunting, fishing, golfing, farming and spending time with his family, friends, and his dog "Cash." Of most importance to Chris was being the best dad he could be to his beautiful daughter and teaching her the fundamentals of farming.
He was an active "snap chatter" and someone who could fill the room with laughter and joy.
He is survived by his daughter Ava Ochs-Panitzke of Lakeville; his parents Randy and Joyce Panitzke of Redwood Falls; sisters Megan Panitzke (Ryan Robinson) of Franklin, and Shelby Panitzke at home; brother Mike Panitzke at home; grandma Darlene Zimmerli of Delhi; grandparents Leroy and Rosemary Panitzke of Belview; niece Riley Robinson of Franklin; Ava's mother, Courtney Ochs of Lakeville; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Chris was preceded in death by his uncle Glen Zimmerli, brother Tyler Panitzke, and grandpa Al Zimmerli.
Blessed be his memory.

Key Moments: Experiences in a Dedicated Life (Hardcover)
Special Order
"You always saw the world as your workplace."
In 2009, this was how Reinhard Mohn--the man who turned Bertelsmann AG from an unremarkable, postwar German business into a successful, international media conglomerate--described the professional dedication of his wife, Liz Mohn. Born into a seemingly hopeless world, this girl from WiedenbrUck, Germany, grew into a proactive woman who, following her late husband's death, now represents the fifth generation of Bertelsmann's ownership. She sits on the company's supervisory board, where for decades she has brought unconventional ideas to a traditional media empire, and she also serves as vice chairwoman of the Bertelsmann Foundation's executive board.
In her new book, "Key Moments," Mohn tells her remarkable personal history, recalling with great candor the difficult early years in GUtersloh and how she grew into her role at the side of her influential husband. She met challenges with curiosity and a desire to learn from her mistakes. Through it all, she followed her life's motto: Try it. You can do it.
An active philanthropist, Mohn highlights the importance of every individual being accountable to a greater good while appealing to the social responsibility of the political and economic sectors as well. She makes the case that each of us is called to contribute his or her part toward creating a successful future. This, of course, is what Liz Mohn has done all of her life. In light of her efforts and successes, she is often asked, "How do you do it all?" "Key Moments" gives readers a fascinating insight into the answer.
About the Author
Liz Mohn is chairman of the board of the Bertelsmann Asset Management Group (Bertelsmann Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH), deputy chairman of the Bertelsmann Foundation, and a member of the supervisory board of Bertelsmann AG. She is in charge of corporate culture at Bertelsmann and the first woman to be a member of the Club of Rome, a global think tank based in Hamburg, Germany. In 1993 she founded the German Stroke Aid Foundation. She is also a recipient of the medal of honor of Germany's Order of Merit and the service medal of the German Medical Society for her work on behalf of stroke victims.

Budget Rentals Under Fire
Budget-minded travelers often turn to websites like Craigslist.com, AirBnb.com, and Homeaway.com to find short-term apartment and room rentals in cities where hotels are out of their price range. However, recent legislation passed by the New York state senate and assembly may take this practice off the market in New York City.
The bill makes it illegal to rent an apartment in most residential buildings in New York City for less than 30 days. New York Gov. David Paterson has said he will veto the bill, but it has made many travelers and New York City apartment owners nervous.
The average rate for a hotel room in New York City in June was $231 per night, up more than 15% from last year. AirBnb.com had more than 1,000 listings for under $100, many as low as $35 a night.
Sarra Hale-Stern, district office director for state Senator Liz Krueger, who sponsored the legislation, says that short-term private rentals have been illegal in New York City since 1920, but the law was difficult to enforce because of conflicting state and city ordinances.
Four or five years ago, Sen. Krueger's office and advocacy groups started receiving "hundreds and hundreds of phone calls" from constituents, says Ms. Hale-Stern, complaining that units in their buildings were being rented to tourists. The practice has been fueled by social-networking and online travel sites, which make it easy for people to list rooms and reach travelers around the globe.
The main culprits are not individual owners who occasionally have paying house guests but landlords who run hotels out of illegally converted single-room-occupancy buildings, says Ms. Hale-Stern.
Carl Shepherd, co-founder of Homeaway.com, which has more than 800 listings in New York City, says he doubts that illegal hotels are as prevalent as the bill's supporters claim and says such properties are not among Homeaway.com's clients. If the bill passes, Mr. Shepherd says that short-term apartment renting in cities like New York won't cease, but will be driven underground, where it won't have the same quality guarantee that Homeaway.com and other sites offer.
Regina Asaba, a 50-year-old support worker for the developmentally disabled, owns a three-family home in Harlem, and rents rooms in two of the units to tourists while maintaining her residence on the ground floor. She says that since her children moved out, she uses the income to supplement her minimum-wage job and cover her mortgage and other home expenses. She is worried about the bill.
Ms. Asaba says she has had more than 1,000 guests stay in her rooms since she began listing them a year ago on Craigslist and AirBnb.com. She charges $50 a night for bunk-bed accommodations and $140 for a one-bedroom apartment suite.
Rental-Car Rates Are Rising
Hertz Global Holdings Inc. has announced that it is raising prices for car rentals at all U.S. airport locations for both its Hertz and Advantage brands. Daily and weekly rates will go up by $5 and $30, respectively. Prior to the increase, Hertz's rates were about 3% lower than they were a year ago, and the company cites rising operational costs as a reason for the price change.
A spokeswoman for Enterprise Holdings Inc., which operates Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Alamo Rent A Car and National Car Rental, says it is not planning any across-the-board price increases for the summer months, and that its rates are currently about 4% lower than they were last summer. Avis Budget Group Inc. did not immediately respond with a comment. Dollar-Thrifty Automotive Group Inc. declined to comment about planned rate changes for its Dollar and Thrifty brands.
Michelin, publisher of the eponymous hotel and restaurant guides, is collaborating with luxury-tour operator Roadtrips Inc. to offer vacation packages for foodies. Michelin Food & Travel allows travelers to create customized itineraries that include dining at Michelin-starred restaurants, cooking classes with celebrated chefs, wine-tasting tours and visits to local food artisans. Trips can also be organized around regional and seasonal specialties, such as truffle hunting in Provence in autumn. Pre-planned itineraries currently include Provence, the Côte d'Azur, and Paris, and start at $900 per day. Michelin next plans to launch tours in Italy and North America. For reservations, visit michelinfoodandtravel.com.
Priceline has expanded its free name-your-own-price Hotel Negotiator iPhone application to include the ability to bid on and book car rentals. To bid, customers enter the price they want to pay, then learn the name of the company they will rent from after their offer is accepted. Cars can be picked up as soon as 30 minutes after booking with the app.

The option to justify text can be found within the Paragraph window. But what if the text you want to justify isn't actually text anymore? What if you created outlines of your text in order to stylize the text a bit more. How can you justify the text now? With this tutorial you'll learn how!
When using paragraph text, the Justify option is available within the Paragraph window as seen below. To access the Paragraph window, go to Window > Type > Paragraph and while your text is selected, click the "Justify all lines" option. You should get the following:
But let's say that from the beginning we wanted to manipulate the text and add some style to it. To do this, select the text and chose Type > Create Outlines as shown below:
Then make sure you ungroup the letters by going to Object > Ungroup. You could work with each letter individually now if you wanted to. Let's say I wanted to add a brush stroke to all of my letters to stylize the text a bit more. To do that I selected all my letters and then clicked on a brush in the Brushes window. Here's what I have so far:
So how would I justify the text manually from here? Here's how!
Select the last letter from the first and second lines of text. In the example we're using, that would be the letter "e" in Jacorre and the letter "o" in Studio. Then choose "Horizontal Align Right" in the Align window. If you don't see your Align window go to Window > Align.
Now select all the letters that you want to justify. In the example we're using, that would be the letters for "Jacorre". Then choose "Horizontal Distribute Space " in the Align window. Again, if you don't see your Align window go to Window > Align. You should have the following result:
Now you know how to justify text manually! Enjoy!

Why get them??? They aint reliable. I have heard stories about tracphone...bad and crazy stories about how the rip you off. get a well known carrier and save some hassle time
Is Trac Phone a good prepaid company to go with?

Is Trac Phone a good prepaid company to go with?
End Of Message
I guess you could say that I'm poor; in this day and time who isn't. Since I would use a cell phone for emergencies only with my monthly minutes running anywhere from 25 to no more than 50 minutes a month I personally can't see having to take out a 2 year contract with a cell phone provider paying $39.99 to $59.99 a month for the next 2 years so I can have basic cell phone service using no more than 50 minutes a month.
That's why I'm considering pre-paid cell phone service. What you shouldn't do is automatically assume that everyone is either a dead beat or just too poor to have a cell phone period if they even ask questions about prepaid cell phone service.
What you need to do is take that silver spoon out of your mouth; wipe it off; take a good look at it and let that spoon be a reminder to you as to just how fortunate you really are because let me tell you there are literally thousands from my area who lost everything last year thanks to a hurricane; but they do have the will and strong spirit to bounce back from the world's worst natural disaster which struck our area on August 29, 2005.

Rich or poor, it just makes good sense to be frugal and like some, dont sign up for cellular service if you dont need a phone at your head all day and night. I love my Trac phone, bought it just before Hurricane Rita hit the Texas coast. I wouldnt trade it for T Mobile, Cingular etc. I dont need a cell phone to drive, shop, order fast food... its ridiculous to see people behaving rudely or full of self importance. Most of us Traccers are not poor... just smart enough to know our limits.!!!
Which model of Trac Phone do you have and about how many minutes do you use each month? Is your phone a candy bar phone or a flip phone? I had a Sprint phone briefly which my brother got for me in May 2006 here locally.
The phone was a Samsung A560 which I used for one month then I accidentially dropped it here in the house and the phone stopped working. I took it back to the local Sprint store but they couldn't or wouldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
I used the phone no more than 40 minutes the one month that I had it before I dropped it. I shipped the phone back to my brother in Texas in late June 2006 and I don't know if he still has it. When I ask him about it; he tells me the phone is being checked out at Sprint which is bull. The phone was still under warranty; certainly he could have just swapped the phone out for another new one.

Do the math.
100 minutes cost you $$.$$
divide 100 minutes by $$.$$ = cost per minute (or unit)
cost a minute and it doubles when you hit a roaming tower.
There were better ones discussed here.
Hope this helps.
I'm not sure if I'm in the minority, but i do think that Tracfone is a good prepaid cell provider to use. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I used to have one. I got one two years ago for my daughter, so that she would be able to get used to a cell phone, and the responsibilities that came with it.
Tracfone plans was easy to follow, setup, and use. They have their plans setup to where you know that this amount of money would give you X amount of minutes, and would track by the minute. Only thing that you have to know, if you travel outside your local service area (if your cell roams) your going to be charged two minutes for the price of one. For example, going from San Francisco to LA for the weekend. For basic useage, if it says you have 10 minutes left, you got 10 minutes. the one thing i liked is that of you do have your 10 minutes left, and you pay/renew before the three month period is up..those last 10 minutes would 'roll-over', giving you more minutes to use. Like Cingular, I believe that those unused rollover minutes would last about a year before they really do expire.
Ok, here's what I think of Cingular. their pay rates confuse the heck out of me. They do give prices on how much X amount of minutes would cost. However, they track by the dollar amount, and not by the minute. So exactly how many minutes $4.69 would be is anyone's guess. However, there are good things that I have to give them props for. Their plans are national, meaning you can go anywhere in the US and not roam (in most cases), so the rates stay the same. Also, they don't charge when you are on a call with another Cingular subscriber, and they offer thier roll-over minutes on their plans. If you check out Cingular.com, you can see what plans that they have for their GoPhones.
Pretty much both sides have their versions of pre-paid or pay as you go. I'm would do too much into texting, and all that stuff. For thoses, you might as well go with a 'real' plan. Rates are just cheaper compared to pre-paid.
I can't comment on T-Mobile's, since I never did consider using it.
I eventually 'upgraded' my duaghter's service to Sprint. Not becuase TracFone was bad or anything, but with my daughter's constant need for text messeging, pic taking and multimedia files, it just made more sense. Especially since that she learned about how cell phones worked, and is more responsible in not killing off her minutes.
If you dont want to be stuck in a 2-year contract, and plan to not use your cell phone as often as another would, or travel away from your 'local area service' as much, I would suggest that you consider TracFone or Cingular for just the very basics in cell use. True, it isn't as 'well-known' as Cingular's GoPhone, or T-mobile, but like I said. Tracfone really isn't a bad service to use.
I hope that this helps, and good luck.
All of my calls would be made within my local calling area; none of my calls would be made outside of my local calling area. As I stated before I would use the phone for emergencies only.
Since I don't drive I have to use either local public transit or more expensive cab service to take me to the doctor; to the grocery store; etc. Last week I spent more than $50.00 for cab fare just to take me to doctor appointments.
I didn't have a phone with me then but the cabbie who I use regularly was nice enough to let me use his phone to make a few calls. Personally I would feel better knowing that I had my own cell phone with me.
My minutes used during any given month would probably range from a low of 25 minutes per month to a high of 50 minutes per month. If I did decide to go with Tracfone should I go with a "refurbished" phone or select a "new" phone?
Which brand of phone or phones would you recommend I select if I decide to go with Tracfone? If not Tracfone; then with Cingular? Nokia; LG; Motorola; Samsung; Sony; or who?
Cingular To Go has two basic prepaid phone plans; one plan deducts an access charge of $1.00 a day for each day that you use the phone and your calls are rated at 10 cents per minute.
Cingular's second plan doesn't deduct an access charge of $1.00 a day for each day that you use the phone but your calls are rated at 25 cents per minute instead of 10 cents per minute.
Based upon my calling needs; which plan would you recommend that I consider? Finally thanks for your detailed post.

With what you told me, sounds to me that Cingular would be a better deal for you, but not the $1 access per day. Potentially, you can pay $30+ a month. Instead of the To Go plan, you may want the Pick Your Plan deal.
In Cells, you can't go wrong with Nokia, Motorola, and LG. I wouldn't recommend Samsung; they just don?t have the signal quality as the other phones have. I wouldn't go with 'refurbished' cell phones. Somehow, when cells get refurbished, they still don't work just the same as new.
I hope that this answers some of your questions, please good luck.
Cingular's other Pay As You Go Plan is one which has no daily access fee charge every time you use the phone but your calls are 25 cents a minute instead of 10 cents a minute under the $1.00 a day access fee charge.
Or as you mentioned in your post Cingular also offers another plan; their pick your plan but the way I have it figured if I went with their Pay As You Go Plan my only major expense to start would be the cost of the phone and my start up minutes which I would have to purchase.
I believe if I purchased a $25.00 card from Cingular the minutes on that card are good for 90 days or sooner if you use them up whereas if you purchased a $15.00 card that card is good for only 30 days or sooner if you use the minutes up. I don't know if unused minutes with any of Cingular's prepaid plans roll over or not. Thanks for your post.

Wow, yeah, like I said. Cingular just gives me a headache trying to sort that all out. Your right with the .25 cent thing.
From what you told me, if $25 card is all you need, then go for it. You may want to talk to Cingular if those minutes rolls over.....they should last I checked with them.
Good luck Big Steve.
What you need to do is get in your Ford Expedition and drive yourself down to Walgreens and buy yourself some of that stuff called "Head On" and when you get it open it up and roll it across your forehead; that might help but then again it might not.

This is obviously not the highest quality gun, but its amazing compared to other guns within its class. It has a very good fps (300 with a .20 for the idiots that couldn't find the fps in the description) which is great for CQB and semi-long ranges. It is pretty accurate from around 30-80 feet, but after that the bbs spread a lot. The hop-up system works well, however the ***** is a little stiff making it a little bit harder to zero in on the perfect amount. The magazine actually only holds 300-350 rounds, not 400, but that is still a lot. This magazine is also compatible with the crosman R76 series in case your mag breaks (like mine did). This gun already has a decent rate of fire, but you can house a 9.6v stick battery if you want an even higher ROF. Though the construction of the gun is mostly plastic, it is really durable. I have dropped this gun many times and so far nothing has broken. The lower receiver, hand guard, grip, and stock are made of decent ABS plastic. Overall, this gun is great for beginner and intermediate players and is definantely worth the money.

Valentino May Part Ways With Facchinetti
PARIS -- Italian fashion house Valentino is weighing whether to part ways with its designer, Alessandra Facchinetti, who joined the company only a year ago, people familiar with the matter said.
The board of Valentino Fashion Group, which is owned by private-equity firm Permira, will meet in the coming days to discuss Ms. Facchinetti's future and "clarify the situation," said Valentino CEO Stefano Sassi after Ms. Facchinetti's fashion show in Paris on Friday.
Ms. Facchinetti, who was tapped last year to succeed the label's celebrated founder, has been negotiating the terms of her departure for the past month, according to a person familiar with the matter. This person added that Ms. Facchinetti has come under pressure to step down as the brand has faced flagging sales.
The shakeup underscores the difficulty fashion brands face in passing the torch to new creative talent. The pressure to find a hit designer has intensified as the financial crisis saps consumer spending and squeezes the finances of debt-laden fashion companies.
Permira forced the brand's founding designer Valentino Garavani out of the company following the private-equity firm's high-profile takeover of Valentino Fashion Group in May 2007. The deal marked private equity's biggest fashion acquisition and came at the peak of market valuations.
Since then, however, Permira has struggled to square its bottom line priorities with the creative egos that drive the fashion industry. Mr. Garavani has been a vocal critic of Permira's choice of Ms. Facchinetti as his successor, driving some loyal customers away from the brand.
The credit crunch, meanwhile, has severely tightened lending conditions that once fueled private equity's buyout boom.

We just returned from Americus and a 8 day stay at the Americus Garden Inn. The town, while very much damaged by the tornado, is managing. The purpose of our trip was to explore my family genealogy. Days were spent driving to and from small towns and libraries. The Americus Garden Inn was like coming home ever day. We stayed in the Veranda room and it was spacious and comfortable. The bed was divine. In our experience b&bs can be noisy. Not so here - very quiet. The hosts are superlative, so good natured and informative AND then there are the breakfasts -- beyond scrumptious. We loved one of the quiches Susan made so lo and behold on our last day she made it specially for us. YUMMY!!! The Inn is very much a respite and anyone wanting a break should make a reservation ASAP.

When I input this into my template before "the loop" (even if I put it immediately below the code that obtains the headder) my "previous" and "next posts" links fail to work properly.
By fail to work properly I mean they show up like they are supposed to, but the posts are the same on the page. I click on "previous posts" link and the page changes (the URL changes), but the same posts as are on the main page show up. When I remove the "<?php query_posts('cat=-7'); ?>" code from my template, the previous and next posts links beging to work properly.
Anyone know how I can use the query_posts code and get the previous and next posts links to work properly?

Ivan Sekretarev, Associated Press
KIEV, Ukraine — A Russian military truck broke down the gates of a Ukrainian base in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol and the installation is under siege by Russians on Friday, the Interfax news agency reported. No shots have been fired.
About 100 Ukrainian troops are stationed at the base in Sevastopol, Interfax reported, citing a duty officer and Ukraine's defense ministry. About 20 "attackers" threw stun grenades, the report said.
The Ukrainians barricaded themselves inside one of their barracks, and their commander began negotiations, Interfax said.
Russia has been swept up in patriotic fervor for bringing Crimea, its old imperial jewel, back into its territory — as tens of thousands of people thronged Red Square in Moscow on Friday waving flags and chanting "Crimea is Russia!" while a parliamentary leader promised the peninsula would be welcomed as an "equal subject" of Russia.
Crimea now belongs to Ukraine, but the local parliament has called a March 16 referendum on whether the semi-autonomous region should join Russia, a move President Barack Obama has called a violation of international law.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry that sanctions over Russian actions in Crimea could backfire, the ministry said in a statement. In a telephone conversation, Lavrov urged the U.S. not to take "hasty, poorly thought-out steps that could harm Russian-U.S. relations, especially concerning sanctions, which would unavoidably boomerang on the U.S. itself," the statement said.
The strategic peninsula has become the flashpoint in the battle for Ukraine, where three months of protests sent President Viktor Yanukovych fleeing to Russia. Moscow calls the new Ukrainian government illegitimate, and has seized control of Crimea, where it has a major naval base on the Black Sea.
Although President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that Russia has no intention of annexing Crimea, he insisted that its residents have the right to determine the region's status in the referendum.
Valentina Matvienko, the speaker of Russia's upper house of parliament, made clear Friday the country would welcome Crimea if it votes in the referendum to join its giant neighbor. About 60 percent of Crimea's population identifies itself as Russian.
"If the decision is made, then (Crimea) will become an absolutely equal subject of the Russian Federation," Matvienko said during a visit from the chairman of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov. She spoke of mistreatment of Russian-speaking residents in Ukraine's east and south, which has been Moscow's primary argument for possible intervention in Ukraine.
The Russian parliament is scrambling to make it easier for Crimea to join Russia. Russia's constitution allows the country to annex territory only by an agreement "initiated... by the given foreign government." That would entail signing an agreement with the new authorities in Kiev, whom Moscow doesn't recognize.
New legislation would sidestep that requirement, according to members of parliament, who initially said a new bill could be passed as soon as next week, but have since indicated that they will wait until after the referendum.
On the other side of Red Square from the parliament building, 65,000 people gathered at a Kremlin-organized rally in support of Crimea.
"We always knew that Russia would not abandon us," Konstantinov shouted from the stage. He also called on Moscow not to forget other Russia-leaning regions in Ukraine.
"We must not leave the Ukrainian people at the mercy of those Nazi bandits," he said, referring to the new government in Kiev.

Broiled Chicken Breast with Peppers, Onions & Bacon Awash in Melted Cheddar
My NEW Gluten-Free Broiled Chicken Breast Recipe…
… hot… Hot… HOT! From The Oven
Yesterday, my husband and I decided that we would create a brand-spank'n-new gluten-free, broiled chicken breast recipe. At first, we were thinking about doing something "beefy," but we very quickly decided that a brand-new chicken recipe was more along the lines of what we were hungry for.
Personally, I was hungry for a broiled chicken breast "thing" that was unusual as well as tender and delicious!
What we came up with was so tender it could be cut with a fork and was so delicious with the contrasting textures and blended, mellow flavors that it would almost be sacrilegious to try to describe how marvelous it tasted.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
12½ Tips for Eating Out Gluten Free in Restaurants
Hi, it's Pat!
Today, I'd like to share with you 12 things that you can do when you are eating out gluten free… It will help you avoid eating or drinking things that have gluten in them.
First, let's talk about who this article is for.
Who this Article Should Help
There are two groups of people that eat gluten-free. Those who do so by choice because they believe they obtain a benefit such as feeling better, improved athletic performance or perhaps overall better health.
And, those who must avoid gluten due to a medical condition such as celiac disease, a gluten allergy or what is called gluten sensitivity.
What Do I Know About It?
Just so you'll know, I've been …
Do You Need Supplements In Your Gluten Free Diet Plan?
This article deals with supplements and will help to answer the question about whether you should include nutritional supplements in your Gluten Free Diet Plan.
Just so you will know, most people that are gluten intolerant have celiac disease. I write from that perspective because that's what I have learned to live with successfully.
If you are gluten sensitive or have a gluten allergy, you may find some useful information here but this article is written for those who are actually gluten intolerant.
Most people who just found out that they MUST eat gluten free are frequently "under nourished" and they may have been for years. Proper nutrition is extremely important when you begin eating gluten-free.
How ever, there are 2 conditions that you need to see a physician about.
You need to honestly answer the following question…

Apr 13 2012, 14:23 ET | About: Mattress Firm Holding Corp. (MFRM) | By: Clark Schultz, SA News Editor
Mattress Firm (MFRM +5.1%) CEO Stephen Stagner says the company will keep the pedal to the metal as it aims to expand up to 2.5K stores from its current level of 1K stores. As for that Best Buy Effect (i.e being a showroom for Internet buyers)? He sees the "touchy-feely" nature of Mattress buyers helping make having big physical stores a bonus. Shares of MFRM +21% since reporting FQ4 earnings earlier this week and +102% since last November's IPO.

Heart Step
A final house-related gift between the couple included a large rock that was found on the property. Closely resembling a heart already, Dan had a local rock mason make a few chips and finish the transformation. Now a stepping stone to the house, it was the last piece to be laid in the year-and-a-half remodel.

Product Description
From the Back Cover
Even bad code can function. But if code isn't clean, it can bring a development organization to its knees. Every year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Noted software expert Robert C. Martin presents a revolutionary paradigm withClean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship. Martin has teamed up with his colleagues from Object Mentor to distill their best agile practice of cleaning code "on the fly into a book that will instill within you the values of a software craftsman and make you a better programmer—but only if you work at it.
What kind of work will you be doing? You'll be reading code—lots of code. And you will be challenged to think about what's right about that code, and what's wrong with it. More importantly, you will be challenged to reassess your professional values and your commitment to your craft.
Clean Codeis divided into three parts. The first describes the principles, patterns, and practices of writing clean code. The second part consists of several case studies of increasing complexity. Each case study is an exercise in cleaning up code—of transforming a code base that has some problems into one that is sound and efficient. The third part is the payoff: a single chapter containing a list of heuristics and "smells gathered while creating the case studies. The result is a knowledge base that describes the way we think when we write, read, and clean code.
Readers will come away from this book understanding
- How to tell the difference between good and bad code
- How to write good code and how to transform bad code into good code
- How to create good names, good functions, good objects, and good classes
- How to format code for maximum readability
- How to implement complete error handling without obscuring code logic
- How to unit test and practice test-driven development

What impressed me most about this book was the many examples: "Uncle Bob" gave practical before and after examples of applying the principals of clean code. The examples were realistic and worthwhile: he'd take a piece of code, iteratively apply different principals and by the time he was done the code looked, well, clean, both in design and readability.
From what I've heard, what people remember most is the principal of "self-documenting code". Now I too had heard all of that before and I'd seen some terrible "self-documenting" code; however, when Martin explained it--and gave examples--it began to make sense and I've been doing it ever since. Trust me, when _he_ explains it, it makes sense.
The book goes well beyond self-documenting code. I would recommend this book for anyone who codes, but especially for someone with a couple years of, not just writing code, but also reading other people's code; often it's hard to pin down just what is so difficult and clumsy about the code we write and Martin shows us.
The common theme that runs through the book is the push to be a true professional when programming. More often than not we get something working and then move on, saying that we'll write the tests or refactor it later. A professional will clean up the mess immediately before moving on to the next task. In this sense the book is inspiring if these goals are in line with yours.
In some ways the book reminds me of Code Complete, but if you already have read that you will still find new content, in particular with the exhaustive examples that show various clean ups including a portion of JUnit. A couple of the examples feel like they go on too long, including an Appendix of 60 pages of a replacement Date class for Java. I just find reading that much code in a book to be more difficult than on-screen.
The writing style of the book is very easy to follow, and does not dry out with a sprinkle of geeky humor and real-life stories. The suggestions are based on the modern programming world today, and how the life of your code may last longer and go through more hands than you may expect.
I have already started to change my coding patterns based on some of these recommendations.. and I know shifting my mindset over whatever period of time towards cleaner code, will benefit me and those to come after me.
Clean Code should be standard for all programmers/architects/engineers in any position.
There is a chapter at the end that summarize all the concepts so you can read this chapter often to remember them.
Add this to Fowler's Refactoring to make a great 1 - 2 punch.
While Fowler's Refactoring demonstrates techniques for moving code from one state to another, this book identifies lower level examples of what needs to be refactored (or written correctly the first time).
Read it, code for a month, and read it again.
If you haven't read this, fix that. The best teams I've ever worked with know this material cold, and I say that speaking as a VP of Software Engineering in several firms with 30 years of experience.

"The Forward (Towards Equality) Suite" is Anthony Branker's sixth recording for Origin Records. The 12-movement composition features saxophonists David Binney & Ralph Bowen, trombonist Conrad Herwig, pianist Jim Ridl, bassist Kenny Davis, drummer Donald Edwards, conguero Renato Thoms, and vocalist Alison Crockett.
The Horns Band is Matt Pavolka's most recent project. With a lineup of cornet, alto, trombone, bass and drums (with Pavolka occasionally switching to trombone) it allows him to indulge his long-form compositional proclivities and explore his literary obsessions while leaving ample room for improvisation and individual expression.

We were aware there was a communication issue, but we've been able to fully understand the deeper issues, we have a plan to improve, and assurance that those improvements would take hold. There isn't a finish line for this sort of thing, but the improvements have been recognizable and have made an impact on the company. Since working with the SBTDC, we've had a 20% increase in employees, and our revenues are increasing as our changes begin taking effect.
I have taken advice from the SBTDC counselors at every major decision point through the last couple of year and my business has benefited greatly from the sound advice and research provided by the SBTDC.
Carolinas IT
The SBTDC has made us a stronger company by providing better intelligence, counseling, and resources. In a lot ways, it has been like a board of directors or an extension of our organization and team, which is how I'm modeling my own company to be a resource to our own clients.
3C Institute
The ability to call on experts for help and guidance with planning and facing new challenges is invaluable and has helped me grow 3C strategically…We would not be here without SBIR.
The SBTDC pointed the SBIR program out to us in a good bit of depth and connected me with some of the solicitations to look into and learn more about. At later stage, [the SBTDC] even reviewed one of our early grant proposals with a little more scientific content and gave us some feedback…

I haven't been able to identify this weed which is prolific on the gravel (and garden beds) on the rooftop of my 10-storey condo building in downtown Vancouver, BC. Can anyone identify it and let me know what I should do about it? It has shallow roots, hairy red stems, red/green leaves, and little white flowers.
Looks like herb robert to me (geranium family). I remember it taking over parts of my parents' garden in NE USA and that it was a bit of a nuisance. What to do about it depends on how you want to control it. It's an annual/biennial, so individual plants shouldn't last more than two years, but it spreads like crazy via seed. If you don't want to use chemicals, I suggest just keep pulling out plants (which have shallow root systems and are easy to pull), making sure you get any adults before they produce and disperse seed. Could take a few years doing it this way as there's probably a considerable seed bank. Alternatively, look into safe herbicides for a faster result.
It looks kind of like red-stemmed filaree Geranium, also known as Stork's Bill. Is there a bit of pink in the flower?
You may find some good information in this article, Stork's-bill increasing across western Canada. You can kill it with Roundup or just pull it out.
It is Geranium robertianum, see Wikipedia page for more information. This common species in the occidental european area is widespread and have a strong variety concerning the leaves shapes and the colors. A lot of scientific publication deals with this question. Generaly it prefears mid-shadow places.

Logistical support for GKSF fully networked
By Express News Service - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
Published: 20th November 2012 11:39 AM
Last Updated: 20th November 2012 11:39 AM
The logistical support for the South Indian Bank Grand Kerala Shopping Festival (GKSF) has been fully networked and managed online.
GKSF has set up offices in each of the 14 districts of the state to co-ordinate the distribution of coupons, gifts and other festival-related items to participating merchant establishments. Connected to these main hubs are multiple distribution centres spread around each district from where retailers can easily collect the material they require.
A total of 90 such centres have been established state-wide, besides the 14 district offices. Training has already been given to 104 hub managers who will be overseeing the operations of these centres.
A 30-line call centre based in Thiruvanathapuram is now functional. Retail establishments can call the toll-free number 1800-4255-2012 to place their orders for coupons and merchandise.
''We are making the most of the technology available to us. The goal is to make everything easy and hassle-free for registering retailers,'' said Tourism Minister A P Anil Kumar. ''Last season we just had one office in each district. This time we have established more centres and spread them in such a way that the merchant establishments have access to at least one within a radius of, say, 10 kilometres,'' said GKSF director U V Jose.
Ernakulam has 10 such centres, Thiruvananthapuram and Malappuram have nine each, Thrissur eight, Kozhikode and Kannur seven each, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Kollam and Palakkad six each, Pathanamthitta has five, Idukki four, and Wayanad and Kasargod three each.
He said coupons and gifts will be available at these hubs by the first week of December and by the second week they will be distributed to the GKSF registrants.
''Everything is being handled online; which means that if a retailer puts in a request for coupons or merchandise, it gets registered on the network and the material can be dispatched immediately to the centre nearest to them and collected from there,'' said GKSF state coordinator V Vijayan.
GKSF Season 6 will begin on December 15 and will conclude on January 31.

Procter & Gamble has named David Taylor as its next president and CEO.
Procter & Gamble reported a decrease in second-quarter net sales as segment results proved to be a mixed bag.
Oral care is a mature market, but luckily for toothpaste it is a regular part of consumer's daily personal hygiene routine. That's not to say, however, that consumers don't desire a little something extra in that tube.
Procter & Gamble will trim its brand portfolio to focus on 70 to 80 of its largest and best performing brands.
Procter & Gamble announced on Friday a boost in first-quarter sales and earnings, meeting expectations and positioning the company to deliver its goals for the fiscal year.
Procter & Gamble has established consumer and shareholder value creation as a top priority and outlined four areas to improve performance, chairman, president and CEO A.G. Lafley told the company's shareowners at its annual meeting Tuesday in Cincinnati.
Procter & Gamble announced on Thursday that net sales for the fiscal year inched up 1% as net earnings per share from continuing operations rose 24%.
With former chief A.G. Lafley back at Procter & Gamble as president and CEO, the company is grouping its Global Business Units into four industry-based sectors to support its current growth strategies of strengthening developed market businesses, maintaining developing market momentum, building a strong innovation pipeline and driving productivity improvements.
Procter & Gamble has brought back former chief A.G. Lafley to serve as president and CEO, effective immediately. He has also been elected to the board and will serve as its chairman.
Former chairman, president and CEO of Procter & Gamble A.G. Lafley has joined Legendary Entertainment's board of directors.
Procter & Gamble has announced that James Johnson, chief legal officer, will retire on June 1....
