LTE promises much faster data speeds and access to services that were not practical in 3G. As enterprise customers explore the capabilities and implications of this technology, those involved with enterprise sales need to be prepared to confidently and accurately answer their questions. This session provides the background necessary to answer more involved questions about the LTE technology and how it applies to enterprise customers, including questions about devices and SIM cards, LTE sessions, connecting to enterprise networks, Quality of Service, Voice over IP, and interoperability with other technologies, including EV-DO and UMTS.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Explain the concept of a PDN in LTE and how it relates to enterprise data access • Describe Quality of Service (QoS) in general, and how it is supported in IMS and LTE • Sketch a high-level view of a packet data session in LTE • Explain the difference between Idle and Connected states, and the impact to applications • Describe the options for connecting to the enterprise • Explain the value provided by IMS • Explain at a high level the process of transitioning between LTE and EV-DO or GPRS/UMTS • Describe how voice services can be provided over LTE and IMS through VoLTE as well as traditional circuit-switched voice • List the benefits of providing VoIP services through IMS vs. Over-The-Top
Intended Audience
This course is intended for those in sales-related roles with a need to dialog with customers about LTE.

As a licensed compass adjuster, I was recently required by the local PSCO to adjust the magnetic compass of a large capesize bulk carrier after evidence of unusually large deviations had been observed during the inspection. I was told by the Master that the compass had been adjusted in the last port (in the Far East). As I proceeded with the adjustment, I was assisted by the ship's Second Officer who recounted how the last adjustment had been carried out. To my amazement, he told me that the ship had never left the berth.

RIP Peace 11/19/12
posted at 3:24 pm on November 22, 2012 by Duane Patterson
Now you might think this is going to be about the Israeli-Hamas conflict or something, and say wait a minute, this is Thanksgiving, foul, this is out of bounds. But i'm not committing a foul. I'm talking about fowl. Peace, one of the two turkeys Barack Obama sent to a life of luxury at the Mount Vernon Estate after receiving last year's Thanksgiving pardon, fell ill and was euthanized last Monday. I'm assuming it was golden brown and delicious when served this afternoon.
CNN, who with only a precious few exceptions looked the other way whenever there were campaign or administration irregularities involving anything Obama, tried to reclaim their journalistic integrity by investigating the suspicious timing surrounding the death of Peace, being so close to Thanksgiving and all. I'm not joking.
We had four Americans die in very suspicious circumstances in Benghazi a copule of months ago. Do you suppose CNN could spare a reporter or two to actually go investigate and ask a couple of questions, instead of reading the White House talking points and moving on to more pressing issues, like expired turkeys?

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church, in Osprey, got a head start on Christmas gifts this year with a project that has been growing for several years.
Parishioners began arriving at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, with an overload of chocolate chip cookies that would soon be packed into boxes and sent to U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. By the end of the day, the church had prepared 6,000 cookies.
To ensure everything arrived fresh, a slice of white bread was added to the top of each package. The parishioners also included Christmas cards in each package.
"It was a very uplifting experience," Joyce Korinek said. "Everybody wore a big smile on their face — we had so much fun doing it and felt good about it."

Location: Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center
Technical Abstract: The Pi-ta gene has been effectively used to control rice blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae in many rice growing regions in the world. A number of studies have characterized the molecular evolution of the Pi-ta gene in cultivated rice, O. sativa, and its wild ancestor O. rufipogon; however, information is lacking for the Pi-ta gene in US weedy rice, a major weed of cultivated rice that causes great economic and environmental problems in the US rice farming system. In order to investigate the genome organization of the Pi-ta gene in weedy rice and its relationship to gene flow between cultivated and weedy rice in the USA, we analyzed nucleotide sequences and SSR data in the genomic region of the Pi-ta gene in 58 US weedy rice accessions, as well as 42 wild relatives and 48 cultivars. We found that the genomic region at and around the Pi-ta gene shows low genetic diversity in US weedy rice, and that weeds are more similar to cultivated rice than to wild rice species, Oryza rufipogon. The known resistant Pi-ta allele from cultivated rice was found in the majority of US weedy rice collections, suggesting the possibility of selection for resistance against the rice blast pathogen. Weed accessions containing the resistant Pi-ta allele showed a high level of resistance to two predominantly US blast races IB49 and IC17. In addition, flanking sequences of the Pi-ta gene and SSR markers on rice chromosome 12 revealed that the susceptible pi-ta allele has been introgressed from US cultivated to weedy rice through outcrossings, but not resistant Pi-ta allele. To our knowledge this is the first study of a blast resistance gene in invasive strains of rice. Results of this study should benefit disease and weed management in rice productions worldwide.

There is a vinegar made to complement every type of food; some are light or fruity while others are bold and rich. Seasoned and flavored vinegars are particularly useful for adding to salads and other fresh dishes. |
The word vinegar is derived from a combination of French words: "vin" for wine and "aigre," which means sour. Most types of vinegar can perform as a tenderizer and preservative as well as a balancing agent between sweet and salty foods.
Not all vinegars originate with fermented wine. Some are made from fruits, grains, rice, and other alcohols.
There are many types of vinegar made around the world. The most common and readily available are:
Red Wine – use with colorful and hearty foods.
White Wine – light and perfect for vinaigrette or marinade.
Balsamic – add to salads.
Rice Wine – use in stir-frying and at the table.
Cider – usually made from apples, but can be from a number of other fruits. Use in sauces, dressings, and marinades.
Malt – made from barley. Used for pickling and in marinades and sauces.
Sugar Cane – made from molasses or syrup. Often used in Asian dishes and in salads or for deglazing.
White – this is the distilled version and should not be used in most recipes, although it's a good pickling and canning product.
Fruity and herbal vinegars are found in gourmet and health food stores.
Buying Tips
Higher priced vinegars will usually originate from a better quality base, especially wine.
Rice wine vinegar is the mildest.
Storage Tips
Most cooking vinegars will not last as long as white vinegar. These should be kept in a dark and cool spot.
Red wine vinegars may become hazy or show sediment. This does not affect the quality or flavor.

The bag is suppose to ''puff up'' from the air being blown into it.
If not then it's borked & must be taken back.

The Philadelphia Eagles got a Kelly after all.
After interviewing Notre Dame's Brian Kelly, who decided last weekend to remain in the college ranks, the Eagles went west and landed Oregon coach Chip Kelly on Wednesday, ending a three-week search.
Kelly, 49, also interviewed with Cleveland but said last week that he had decided to remain at Oregon. The Browns hired Rob Chudzinski as their head coach,
The Eagles continued to interview candidates, including Notre Dame's Kelly and Penn State coach Bill O'Brien from the college ranks. The team had Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley in for an interview on Tuesday.
Former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith and former NFL coaches Ken Whisenhunt and Brian Billick also interviewed with the Eagles in the three weeks since Andy Reid was let go on Dec. 31 after 14 seasons as head coach.
Kelly met with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, team president Don Smolenski and general manager Howie Roseman for nine hours in Arizona after the Fiesta Bowl earlier this month. The Eagles said in a statement that it was a "wide-ranging, enthusiastic discussion of everything from football philosophy to management and organizational values and ideas."
But while the Eagles continued to speak with candidates, they maintained their interest in Kelly. Then he suddenly changed his mind and decided to jump into his first head coaching job in the NFL.
"Chip Kelly will be an outstanding head coach for the Eagles," Lurie said. "He has a brilliant football mind. He motivates his team with his actions as well as his words. He will be a great leader for us and will bring a fresh energetic approach to our team."
In four seasons as head coach at Oregon, Kelly guided the Ducks to a 46-7 record and four consecutive BCS bowl bids, including a 35-17 victory over Kansas State in the 2013 Fiesta Bowl. Before he was elevated to head coach, Kelly served as the team's offensive coordinator in 2007-08 under Mike Bellotti.
Kelly is known for his innovative offense in college, but some have questioned whether it will work in the NFL. Last season, Oregon averaged 49.7 points per game en route to a 12-1 record.

Permit Process Remains Top Industry Concern Even in Downturn
Working down unsold housing inventory and positioning businesses for an eventual return to a healthier marketplace are obviously preoccupations for a majority of the nations builders, but a range of issues unrelated to todays cyclical downturn remain formidable challenges, according to the most recent Critical Issues Survey conducted by NAHBs State and Local Government Affairs department.
Mortgage finance was the fastest growing concern for the executive officers at state and local home builders associations across the country who were asked to rate emerging and existing industry issues for the period of Sept. 2006 to Oct. 2007. The issue ranked 10th on the list of critical issues, but that was compared to a ranking of 51 in the survey for the previous year.
The development approval and permitting process remained the top critical issue for the housing industry for the past year, according to the survey findings, the same position it held in the previous annual rankings.
Development costs, which were third on the list last year, moved up to second place in the latest annual findings.
Availability of affordable housing and impact fees/development exactions ranked third and fourth on the list, respectively, followed by public attitudes toward growth in fifth place.
Ahead of mortgage finance and rounding out the top 10, the rankings found sprinkler requirement the sixth biggest concern for the industry, followed by codes regulation, builder-employer health care costs and zoning.

We checked and it has been fixed.
The issue : 2 files from this set are slightly corrupted ( when clicking on them in the group view you can get an error that tells that ).
Why these two ? We are still checking now.
Thanks Alexandre.
Which two images are broken?
Also, I am not sure what you mean by the "group view". Is that the panel on the left of the main APG window?

Yes. You can expand it to the full width of the screen with 4th button from the left at the top.
Then if you double-click on an image it open an image viewer wher you can step through the images.

LOL I have only been using APP for 12 months ...
Thanks Andrew.
Yes, use that intergrated viewer and then the left and right arrow to switch to next / previous image : some files will crash at that stage.

Anti-Bullying Program Kicks Off in Wyandotte Schools
The Bullying Prevention Committee, established this year by Wyandotte Public Schools, is made up two staff members from each school.
Wyandotte Public Schools has launched a new program this year that is aimed at educating students throughout the district about bullying. Two staff members from each school make up the Bullying Prevention Committee, which focuses on ways to create a more positive environment for students. Heading the committee is Ben Reynolds, who is the assistant principal at Roosevelt High School and Kristin McMaster, who is the principal at Washington Elementary School. The program, which has just gotten under way this fall, is designed to encourage students to treat each with respect, Reynolds said. "This is promoting doing the right thing, and not being negative to other people," he said. The two staff members representing each school are in charge …

A high school in Appleton, Wisconsin tried an experiment under the enlightened guidance of their principal, LuAnn Coenen. She wanted to see if she could positively affect the fighting, weapons-carrying and general lack of focus and discipline in the school by changing the food the kids ate.

So how am I doing?
- Details
- Category: Current Status

- Written by Brian Fahrlander

People ask, and I need to be able to tell them:
Updated 5/12/13: Transplants and amputations
No kidding; the podiatrist warned me about doing things "because I like to amputate as little as possible." A week later, the kidney doctor asked "The remaining kidney's kinda failing- do you want to get on the transplant list?"
Another referral to IU; maybe this is the trip was what I saw in the coma, or merely co-incidence?
The list of maladies seems to grow every time I go to the darned hospital. I'm starting to both dread going, as well as looking forward to it. Wow, I'm so messed up.
- Diabetes: blood tests and food concerns
- Diverticulitis: random belly pains (better now)
- Macular Degeneration: some eye trouble
- Brain damage corrupting vision
- Muscle damage, walking difficult
- Lost kidney to cancer
- Sleep apnea: now using CPAP
- Orthopaedic problems: still can't stand on concrete long
- Still mumbling about the coma, and all the cool things I saw there
- Deep-Vain Thrombosis. They're giving me nitro in case I get pain-in-arm.
- I'm feeling chest pains, and they can do little about it.
After an hour the battleship gray, covered with white and green neon flashing bars FINALLY quit, and things were closer to normal. Other things have been happening...
- I turned to look at the mirror one morning and saw what I'd look like with 2" of fur all around me.
- I woke up to see that my computer playing a Burn Notice episode audio, while playing something very different on the screen: an 80's music video.
- Numerous times I've seen "animals" that aren't there creeping into/out of my periphery
- I'm constantly having trouble reading the screen and writing things.
- Most mornings my computer screen has "snow" on it like the signal is weak, but it's a computer, playing back video files!
- Two more "The house is on fire" visions; but I smelled no smoke...
- Twice now in dreams, I go into places where breathing is getting hard. I awake to find I'm having an asthma attack. I've never had asthma! WTF?
I've been to an eye doctor. The great news? It's not my eyes, it's brain damage. Because I'm on Medicaid, I had to wait months to get into a brain specialist. But that specialist immediately declared there was "nothing he could do for me" and offered me a generic drug not made for my specific problem, so I decided to look elsewhere. At IU they did some tests, and explained WHY they could do nothing for me.
I remember being a child, back when everything still worked, and I even had a flat, tight belly, and wondered how people ever let themselves get fat. I used to run everywhere! I looked at old people and wondered how they could do it. How do they live on, as parts start to fall off them?
I'm no special example of dealing with physical changes. I'm just doing it.
I'm just as afraid of winding up blind and useless, unable to finally go travel the USA again, or for that matter, use the internet, and await death in the dark. But again it's the coma: a chance to know the distance between life and death, and the reality that it will all be better on the other side.
It's why I have Sofia's picture printed on a huge 3-foot by 4-foot poster in my room: to remind me of the destination. (Click it for the back story)
Every time I think about meeting her again, knowing she can read my thoughts, that I can never hurt her, and she'll never misunderstand me...and we'll discover the new heaven and the new Earth together across time, I almost always cry with joy. It's harder to keep morale when you have no idea why you fight. But I know why...and it'll keep me stronger. So parts will keep failing and I'll move ever closer to the fate of every man.
As for today, I'm having a lot of trouble seeing the screen. Both eyes disagree as to what I'm seeing.

The 'Actual' Situation
The onboard computer known as "Actual", a P3 mini-ITX, has been removed for upgrade. The website is currently maintained in-house until it can go back.
The biggest problem is that hard drives just don't deal with the cold: silicon does. I'm unaware of SSD for IDE drives, only SATA. So anything I install, resembling a PC has to be a monster.
Fixing the problem
I'm also considering a cluster of Arduino, 8-bit machines. I have a Leonardo that's nice-but-not-standard, and I think I'll have it deal with the basics of thermostat work. It will keep the run-time variables there and await commands to move set points and/or change modes.
Another Arduino, a more-standard UNO type with a sweet little user-interface will connect to the Leonardo, telling it to adjust set points, interrogating it for temps and that sort of thing. It's this one, with the user interface, that might be used to power an electronic door lock. But for now, becoming a useful user interface is more than enough!
I do have a little concern over the hobbyist nature of these units. They're not built with what's called "buckled" connectors. Instead, the connectors are low-duty and made for experimenters, not hard-core installers of vehicular computers. I'll have to work out some cases or "modules" in which to place them, giving them safety from grime as well as proper connectors.
One problem with which I'll not contend is system heat. On a typical PC, shoe-horned into place, one has to go to a lot of trouble to vent the CPU heat, and there's never quite enough to keep it warm. But these units don't have a lot of heat, and should be a lot less trouble from that standpoint.
I manage to cover all the bases with the little machines, though I still haven't worked out a web server for the project, itself. But maybe that'll be my desktop, when I'm parked. Who knows?
Splitting the onboard work between these two, smaller, cheaper machines provides lots of benefits. The only downside is that OneWire devices (like all my sensors and relays) will have to be stripped and re-thought. But otherwise:
- No hard drives
- Wide power range
- Low current use
- Low cost
- Replaceable
- Low heat/vibration worry
With this plan, 'the computer' can be on all the time, until the battery dies. When it again has power, it's right there again, after a second-or-two of boot-time. The battery drain isn't much.
The boards come with several AIs for reading temps. Which is good; I can't actually use the One-Wire sensor network that I've had all this time- Arduino can talk to such a network, but only deal with one device per line, and then it's pretty primitive, too.
I'll keep updating the articla (as long as the eyes allow it) with new information as available.

2 Liters Removed During Vibration Assisted Lipo (VAL) But No Results - Why?
i'm 5'4, weigh 127 lbs. had val on belly, thighs, hips. 2 liters removed. Dr said he removed 2 liters from abdomen, outer thighs,hips and arms. I am 5 days out, very little swelling and only today did I wake up to monstrous black bruises. That is all I can see. No sculpting anywhere. Have worn the extremely tight compression garment non stop. Is this normal in the recovery process and should I not be able to notice even a slight change?

Attended by over 50 of the best personal trainers and athletic coaches in the country, this event was a rare opportunity to hear Ian's approaches direct from the source.
Ian King's training innovations and concepts have influenced the coaching of physical preparation for over 30 years now and nowhere more than in the area of programme design and exercise innovation. Ian has serviced athletes and coaches through seven Olympic Games cycles, both Summer and Winter, World Cups, World Championships and Commonwealth Games, in over 20 different sports in over ten different countries, and this extensive experience combined with his no-bullshit approach meant that attendees had the opportunity to learn from someone whose results speak far louder than their marketing. Ian's numerous publications on physical preparation include 'How to Write Strength Training Programmes' and the brilliant 'Get Buffed', although he has written extensively on all aspects of training and athletic development.
We managed to grab Ian for 10 mins to ask his thoughts on the fitness and coaching industry in the UK, his components of fitness, his approach to programme design, information overload and his legacy programme:
We had some great feedback on the event; please see a guest review of the Ian King seminar by the excellent personal trainer Jeremy Boyd.

With a feeling of sorrow, I consider the poor turtle, out of breath on my rug.
Every morning as I trip, groggily, out of bed,
I nearly step on my girlfriend's pet, Berdie
who scampers
(as quick as a turtle can)
for cover from my monstrous, stretching feet.
Oftentimes, people misunderstand her name,
"Oh, how adorrrrrable, a turtle named after a bird…"
"Berdie" is short for Roberta…
But it's mornings such as this that I can begin to see the irony in such a name.
Perhaps there is something held within the first words of our introductions,
"Hi, I'm James,"
much more powerful than cute pets
and first impressions.
My lover's pet is named Berdie,
because she longs for wings
to soar from certain death upon my bedside rug.
If she were a mimicking bird, she would squawk,
for every time I've nearly crushed her in the dark.
The whale is named for its songs,
cast out, carried over ocean waves,
to reel in lost family.
If you listen closely to the soundtrack of a nighttime beach
you can hear the wails of longing.
My mother's name is Nature
because her eyes are calm like that of a hurricane
and her hand can cure the skinned knees and broken hearts
of life's storms and rainy days.
My father, his name is Moon
because his face lights up when he smiles,
and his light guides through dark nights,
because, as his shift ends, the sun will take over.
I am that Son.
Born of nature and moon.
I share the calm green eyes of nature
and, as a teen, reflected the moon's cratered complexion.
I am James Barger,
and you might be able to see more in a name,
far beyond the first words of our introductions,
but I promise
that I will always be
just me.

Anova's strategy is to test and, if feasible, promptly develop the Big Springs Gold Project into a cash flow producing asset, as a platform for future growth through exploration or M&A opportunities. Anova also has an agreement to earn up to a 90% interest in a pegmatite-hosted strategic metal project in Mozambique with significant exploration potential, including for heavy rare earths, lithium and tantalum.

Type in "Air Review" on Google and you'll get a list of various airline websites and accompanying reviews about their services, quality, etc. But alike other hard-to-google bands like Girls, Tennis or Chris Taylor's solo gig CANT, the music will eventually conquer all, and the Dallas based band ought to start receiving more recognition.
They have only released a handful of tracks so far, and our favorite, "Low Wishes", is a bluesy, folk driven rock song with strong, strong elements of pop to it and feels like a guaranteed winner. Listen to it below:

Deciphering the Debt Deal | ||
August 11, 2011 |
Volume 2, Issue 31 | |
Congressional Leaders Announce Appointments to Super CommitteeCongressional leaders have announced their appointments for the Congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, the bipartisan committee created by the recently passed debt deal—officially titled the Budget Control Act of 2011. Democrats serving on the committee will be Senators Patty Murray, Max Baucus, and John Kerry and Representatives James Clyburn, Chris Van Hollen, and Xavier Becerra. The Republican contingent includes Senators Jon Kyl, Rob Portman and Pat Toomey and Representatives Jeb Hensarling, David Camp, and Fred Upton. Representative Hensarling and Senator Murray will serve as the committee's co-chairs. The committee is tasked with drafting a bipartisan plan to reduce the deficit by an additional $1.2 to $1.5 trillion dollars. If the committee fails to agree on a plan, or if Congress does not vote to approve the plan, an automatic $1.2 trillion across-the-board cut, known as a sequester, will take effect in 2013. Medicaid, Social Security, certain low-income programs and Medicare benefits are excluded from the sequester. However, Medicare providers could face cuts of up to 2 percent. The committee may consider all parts of the budget to achieve the deficit reduction target, including programs excluded from the sequester, such as Medicare. They may also consider increases in revenue. The committee must deliver legislation to Congress by November 23, 2011, and Congress must vote on the legislation by December 23, 2011. Given the complexity of the debt deal, Medicare Rights has developed a fact sheet to help people with Medicare understand the implications for the program at different stages of the deal. Read the Medicare Rights Center's fact sheet "The Debt Deal and Medicare." CMS Reports Physician Group Practice Demonstration a SuccessThe Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced this week that its Physician Group Practice (PGP) demonstration increased quality of care while reducing costs for the 10 participating physician groups. The five-year PGP was designed to determine whether altered provider payment structures could increase care coordination and quality while concurrently decreasing costs to the program by reducing the need for expensive but potentially unnecessary care, such as re-hospitalizations. On top of regular Medicare payments, physician groups received incentive payments to practices that met certain benchmark scores on quality measures and achieved savings to Medicare. All 10 of the participating groups reached benchmark performance scores on 30 out of 32 measures, with 7 of 10 meeting the benchmark on all 32 measures. All participants achieved significant improvements on quality measures for conditions such as diabetes and heart failure. Overall, the program saved Medicare around $134 million, about $107 million of which was paid to qualifying physician groups as incentive payments. All 10 groups will participate in the two year PGP transition demonstration, enacted to build upon the initial PGP program. The PGP demonstration is thought to provide lessons for newer models built on similar principles, including the Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) envisioned by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The goals of ACOs, similar to those of the PGP demonstration, are to promote care quality and coordination, and to allow participating providers, both physicians and hospitals, to share in the savings to Medicare achieved as a result of these care improvements. |
Medicare ReminderIf your Medicare prescription drug plan makes changes to its formulary (list of covered drugs) during the year, they must notify you, and you have certain rights depending on why the plan made the change. If the plan is making maintenance changes, they must give you 60 days' notice or provide you with a 60-day transition fill. Maintenance changes include covering a generic drug instead of a band-name drug or adding quantity limits for drugs that the FDA adds warnings to. If your plan is making non-maintenance changes, which is any other change, if you are already taking the drug you must be allowed to continuing taking that drug for the rest of the year, as long as it is medically necessary. Your plan must also send you a notification in the mail. Learn more about notices that drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans must give at www.medicareinteractive.org. SpotlightThe Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has launched the Quality Care Finder, a tool designed to help people with Medicare and their caregivers compare information about hospitals, doctors, nursing homes, home health providers, dialysis facilities, and health and drug plans. |

Things you need to know about Building i before you use the data:
- The entire site was carefully hand-troweled and screens were not used for artifact recovery.
- Measurements are in feet and tenths of feet.
- The excavation grid for Building i was established using the "Wheeler Box" system of 8-by-8 foot quadrats with 2-foot baulks. Although the 8-by-8 foot units were excavated, the baulks were not. Three additional 4-by-8 foot quadrats expanded the excavation grid to encompass the west line of structural posts. Finally, two 5-by-4 foot quadrats follow a garden fenceline.
- In the DAACS database, the Carpenter's Shop project is designated as Project "101". Artifact ID numbers for artifacts associated with the project therefore begin with the 101 prefix.

Think of this. A whole slice of cookie, and not just any cookie, a cookie that is chewy on the edge, but soft toward the middle. Classic chocolate chip cookie flavor, elevated to the cast iron skillet. The chocolate chips melt down to the bottom almost creating a 100% chocolate crust. The pure butter flavor is mingling with chocolate and vanilla is always a crowd pleaser.
And another AWESOME thing about a skillet cookie: there is non of this stupid scooping out drops of cookie dough onto cookie sheets. I hate that part, normally I make the dough and my mom scoops it onto the sheets. So this fixes that problem.

Meldinos pizza.... My family and I decided to try Meldinos one night because we appreciate a good, REAL New York style pizza and being from Brooklyn originally the mass produced papajohn and dominos just won't do. I couldn't have been more wrong on this night. When u go out for pizza u expect the atmosphere to be laid back and friendly, you want that easy going feeling that makes u sit back and loosen ur tie while you sip your cold beer and this place was not unfortunetly. As I'm sure everyone agrees, I like a clean restaurant and Meldinos is was very Unclean on this night, our table needed to be wiped off and the floor was full of debris, we were brought out the wrong pizza by our server who kept going out back every couple of minutes to smoke cigarettes so she had that smell of tar and smoke whenever she would come to our table(few and far between thank God) we waited almost 30mins for our corrected pizza so we ordered fries for the kids while we waited and they were cold, our pizza arrived and it was ok I guess. I hate to complain but I expected to have a good time and in reality I paid for the experience I was looking for but just didn't receive it; Bad, smelly service and average food with Mellow Mushroom prices but hey, Meldinos has only been operational since '07 and it definetly shows, maybe ill go back in ten years. Not likely.

I am sure we have all seen it, the parents at the BBQ having one too many drinks. Or how about yourself, too many beers on Fourth of July? How should drinking be handled when we have children? While they are awake is it okay or should they be asleep for the night?
I use to be a heavy drinker. My weekend nights (and even some weeknights) consisted of getting off work, getting ready and heading out for a night worth of drinking and partying. How times have changed! Since having my first son, Kellan, I slowly gave up alcohol. If my husband had our son or one of the grandparents I would try to spend a night with my friends and some drinks. Though it slowly began to become less and less of a fun time for me. This giant sense of responsibility and feelings on how I feel I should act now as a mother had taken over.
My beliefs have greatly changed over the years. I do not think it is appropriate for both my husband and myself to be drinking heavily at the same time. (And by heavily I don't necessarily mean drinking a 12 pack each but rather heavily in the context that we weren't sober enough to drive if needed.) What about after the kids go to bed, isn't it ok to both be heavily drinking? In my opinion, no. I still think of the worst case scenario. What if someone gets sick in the middle of the night or needs to be rushed to the hospital? I can't afford to be passed out or unable to drive in the event that one of my kids needs me.
Or what about being hung over the next day? It isn't fair to my kids to spend a day with their mom and dad laying around since they drank too much the night before. Now granted some events will come up and you will end up drinking and getting a hang over. I have been there even since having kids, it happens sometimes. I do not think it is appropriate for parents of young children to have people over drinking until late at night more than half of the week. I also don't think that just because it is a holiday or an event of some sort means you should have to have alcohol. Is that what we want to teach our kids? Associate drinking with every good time?
How do you feel? Are you okay with weekend drinking and having young kids?

The state's who's-who list of musical superstars is rich. Other states should be jealous. The uninformed might be shocked to learn the common trait between Hank Williams Jr., Nat King Cole, Tammy Wynette, Percy Sledge, the Commodores, Sam Phillips, W.C. Handy, Wilson Pickett and a lengthy compilation of other talented musicians and producers.
They're all in the Alabama Music Hall of Fame.
Nevertheless, at the hall's home in Tuscumbia, the recent years of recession and slow recovery haven't been kind. State funding has declined. The hall's bank accounts have suffered. Operating hours have been reduced. And last year, the state Legislature fixed holes in Alabama's fiscal dyke by cutting all funding to many of the state's cultural and historical sites.
As a recent story in the Florence TimesDaily explained, that legislative decision eventually left the Alabama Music Hall of Fame with $247 in the bank and its power turned off because it owed the power company $3,600.
"The state of Alabama has this very special legacy," said Hall of Fame Board Member Bill Nugent. "We just can't lose it."
He's right. Alabama needs to spread the word about its musical heritage and its place within the larger picture of American culture.
The Legislature's deep swath of budget cuts during the last two years makes that difficult, of course — and don't consider this a suggestion that funding a music hall of fame is more important than paying for public education, Medicaid or state prisons.
That said, we're nonetheless pleased that a partnership between the hall and Northwest-Shoals Community College may prove to be the magic solution. The hall's board has accepted the college's letter of intent to buy the hall, with the college assuming the facility's day-to-day operation. The college will use the hall to train its business students, the TimesDaily reported.
Two points about this partnership are worth mentioning: (1.) These types of collaboration will prove invaluable for cash-strapped state agencies as long as the Legislature refuses to consider new forms of revenue; and (2.) a stable and improved Alabama Music Hall of Fame is something this state should consider a cultural priority.
Alabama isn't a large state, it doesn't have overflowing coffers, and its history is often told through the lens of the civil rights movement. Yet, when the state has an altogether positive story to tell — such as its music — and it doesn't tell it with gusto, who will?

Man arrested Friday for possessing stolen car and meth
April 30, 2009 · Updated 2:08 PM
By Brian Beckley
The Courier-Herald
When a car spun out across from his business and landed in the westbound ditch during the Friday evening rush hour, Randy Wickizer of Randy's Landscape Supply ran across state Route 410 to help.
By the time he got to the scene, the driver was already out of his Honda and gathering a black tackle box from the trunk. Instead of staying by the car, however, the driver began to walk east, toward Buckley.
Wickizer stepped in front of the driver, not touching him, but blocking his path.
"I said 'He ain't leaving. I'm not going to let him,'" Wickizer said later Friday evening.
After Wickizer stepped in front of him, the driver turned and walked back toward the car repeating, "I can't be here" and "It was an accident."
Wickizer watched as the driver tried to shove the box into the trunk, then removed it again. Wickizer said the driver began to pull things out of his pockets, including a box of Sudafed.
Meanwhile, Erin Johnston of Enumclaw, who was on her way home from work and stopped to help, found out via her cell phone that the car she just watched veer across the highway in front of her was reported stolen.
"All of a sudden I saw something black go across the street," she said. Since the driver was traveling without his headlights, all Johnston saw was a "wave of dirt" as the car left the roadway.
Johnston also saw the driver remove the tackle box and empty his pockets.
"He just kept fiddling with his tackle box," she said. "He was frantic."
Inside the car, Wickizer and another witness, who was in the car directly behind the Civic and did not want to be identified, saw approximately 50 more boxes of Sudafed, rubber tubing and a 5-gallon bucket, all components used in the production of methamphetamine.
Though the incident took place just outside the city limits, Bonney Lake police were the first officers on the scene and detained the driver until Washington State troopers could arrive.
According to Officer Rob Kearney of Bonney Lake, the driver was detained because the car was listed as stolen and the driver tried to leave.
"He was attempting to flee the scene," Kearney said.
Kearney said he expected the driver to be charged with possession of stolen property and could also face charges of manufacturing a controlled substance if the car turned out to contain parts of a meth lab.

Armada student charged with threatening co-workers at Subway
An 18-year-old Riley Township man may have thought he was being funny when he threatened to shoot fellow employees at an Armada Subway store on Main Street but police and courts sure don't agree.
Armada Village police arrested Alex David Rosario, 18, and charged him with domestic terrorism. He is facing 20 years in prison, according to Armada police Chief Howard Smith.
Rosario also is being held in the Macomb County Jail on $500,000 cash or surety bond set by 42-1 District Judge Denis LeDuc.
Smith said the threats were sent over Twitter. The threats have been captured by Armada police who will use the statement as evidence against him.
Smith further said the threat made employees at the Subway nervous.
Smith said management at Subway rated their employees recently as part of an employee improvement plan and Rosario was identified as a "relatively good employee." Management also was not overly critical of him.
Rosario was a student at Armada Continuing Education (ACE) when he made the threats. He was recently placed on probation for possession of narcotics paraphernalia, Smith said. If action had not been taken for the drug charge he would have graduated on time in June, according to Smith.
"We feel threatening to kill somebody is not a joke," said Smith. "It doesn't appear the prosecutor takes it as a joke either and the judge certainly doesn't."
After the threats were made, Subway supervision terminated Rosario. He then made threats to students attending Armada High School and was expelled by the Armada Board of Education.
The threat at the high school is being investigated by Michigan State Police detectives. Continued...
Smith said police arrested Rosario Friday afternoon in his house without incident. Just before Rosario was arrested he managed to send a posting on Twitter telling one of his friend he was about to get arrested.
A preliminary examination is scheduled in LeDuc's court for 9 a.m. on Feb. 5.

Travel has been the most beneficial to me! Going to comics shows gets me to a lot of different places. While I'm there I do a lot of architectural photography. I also try to visit a lot of zoos. I'm also very inspired by the work of others.
