Experience : I did my summer internship at Volkswagen & BMW. It was a great experience which provided me an opportunity to know, learn and understand the diversity of the Automotive Industry. I wanted to explore my field in depth and know the intricate details of Sales, Marketing and CRM. And my internship helped me gain that experience.
I feel so proud to be an UPESite. I didn't know that my decision to be a part of UPES as a BBA Auto marketing student would be such a wonderful journey and will change my life. To me an internship is an opportunity to learn and experience new things and enhance skills which will be very helpful in the future. I wanted a platform where I could enhance and improve my skills along with the learnings and theoretical knowledge which I have learnt in my academic sessions that can be applied in a practical way. And for this I got a chance to work in a well-known company, Big Boy Toyz, which gave me all opportunities to fulfill my dreams. This would not have been conceivable without the guidance of my mentors.

Upes provided me a platform where I can stand and see myself as a person who is comparatively more capable of facing overall challenges of life and turning my dreams into reality. I would say that it's not just about the quality education I get from the wonderful faculty, it is also about the life of UPES which just simply makes you perfect. I have been involved in research and development projects like competitors' analysis of Balmer Lawrie co. ltd. and reporting methodologies which have helped me develop good analytical skills.
UPES, has been a great help in shaping my career. It has made me a better person and more confident by believing in me and giving me many opportunities to showcase my talent and to learn more. Here I get to live my dreams, I get constant support from my faculty and Dean, they encourage my ideas and help me work on them. I can say, that UPES is the best thing that has happened to me. UPES is trying to bring something new, by giving us an optional subject of our choice, such a psychology, which is interesting and according to me everybody should have a bit of its knowledge, they are starting with foreign language classes too, by doing this, they are making our learning experience better and it's a dream come true to study the subjects , you always wanted to study.
Coming to UPES, surely proved to be a step taken in the right direction by us for a better and brighter future. Our journey till now in UPES, has been full of opportunities, new experiences, interactions with experienced teachers and students and also shared a vibrant ambience of enthusiasm and enlightenment. We are aware that the world is becoming a smaller place every day, and the reason behind it is Digitalization. Therefore I feel lucky to be a part of an extremely different and upcoming course of BBA DIGITAL MARKETING, offered only by UPES in India. Thus it has helped us connect to the world, refined our skills with the way the course plan has been designed along with an equal importance given to sports, social activities and other extracurricular activities as well like MUN, online learning and others, helping us develop a good personality and widening our horizon of knowledge. Overall, my experience at UPES has been encouraging and inspiring and I look forward to continue to grow and evolve while I pursue my three year course in UPES.
UPES has helped in broadening my horizons. The institution has taught me to live life in an entirely different positive aspect and has turned me into a better person. To me, aviation has always been the dream and it was only here that I could make that come true.

State Rep. Regina Barrow hiked Thursday morning on the shoulder of Airline Highway, as cars and trucks whizzed by, to demonstrate what poor and uninsured pregnant women have to go through since LSU closed its north Baton Rouge obstetrics clinic.
Since September, the former obstetrics and gynecology, or OB-GYN, patients of the LSU clinic have to travel to the new, state-of-the-art, Woman's Hospital in south Baton Rouge.
"It's a beautiful facility. I love it," said Barrow, D-Baton Rouge, as she walked up the driveway off Pecue Lane in south Baton Rouge past Canadian Geese swimming in a curving pond. She was near the end of a mile-and-a-half trek from the nearest bus stop, at South Sherwood Forest Boulevard and Airline Highway.
"It's just that you can't get here unless you drive. It's something that the people in (Gov. Bobby Jindal's) administration should have thought about. They're absolutely clueless," Barrow said, adding that a low-cost shuttle could alleviate much of the problem. "You know, not everybody drives. Poor people, the people who relied on clinic at Earl K. Long, a lot of them don't have cars. They go to work, they go to the doctor on the bus."
About 18,000 poor and uninsured patients a year were seen at the north Baton Rouge clinic site, about 1,500 outpatient visits per month. Many of those patients live in Barrow's district, which stretches around the LSU Earl K. Long Medical Center into West Baton Rouge Parish.
Pre-natal care, evaluations and post-surgical care was provided at the clinic on the campus of the Earl K. Long center on Airline Highway at Greenwell Street.
The OB-GYN clinic was closed in preparation for shutting down the public hospital at the end of the year and moving most of the services to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, a private facility owned by Franciscan Missionaries, off Essen Lane near Interstate 10. The Lake refused to provide medical care for pregnant women and for state prisoners as part of its contract with LSU.
"We would support the city, the local community in whatever efforts they do to make it easier for patients to get to care," said Frank Opelka, who heads LSU's hospitals. "We're the hospital and delivery system part."
Bruce Greenstein, secretary of the state Department of Health and Hospitals, said: "I love how passionate Rep. Barrow is and that she takes a real on-the-ground approach to understanding what her constituents have to do to access health care ... The double-edge of Woman's Hospital is that it's a little further out. But it is a brand new beautiful building with access to incredibly high-quality health care services."
For those taking the bus, reaching the Woman's Hospital and the attached doctor's offices require walking across the huge Airline Highway intersection at Jefferson Highway; and past luxury car dealers; and on the shoulder of a four-lane highway without sidewalks and posted speed limits of 50-to-55 miles per hour.
"My husband really cautioned me," Barrow said as an 18-wheeler barreled by kicking up grit. She "tweeted" her progress as she walked through broken glass, squashed beer cans and cigarette butts.
"Imagine what it was like yesterday when it was raining and cold," said Melvin Abbott, of Brusly, one of Barrow's constituents who walked with her along Airline Highway. "You know, if you miss your appointment by 15 minutes, you have to reschedule. This is something that needs to be addressed."
Teri Fontenot, president and chief executive officer of Woman's Hospital, said patients with Medicaid or some other government-sponsored insurance are entitled to transportation to and from appointments. Non-Emergency Medical Transportation is handled by private contractors and overseen by DHH.
"We take care of their medical needs when they get here. We're not involved with those kinds of issues," Fontenot said Thursday afternoon.
Fontenot said she asked her staff about the transportation issue and was told that most of the complaints they hear come from parents trying to visit their babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. The NCIU specializes in intensive medical care for ill or premature newborn infants. Those parents do not qualify for Medicaid-paid transportation, she said.
Barrow said Non-Emergency Medical Transportation does not universally cover all Medicaid patients, and the hundreds of thousands of others without any insurance cannot use the service. Medicaid is the program paid for by state and federal government. It covers about 1.2 million low-income, elderly and children in Louisiana.
Barrow said she thinks the transportation issue could be easily handled with a shuttle from one of the bus transfer stations. She said she would talk to Greenstein and bring the idea up at the next House Health and Welfare Committee meeting, which is scheduled for later this month.
Greenstein said, "The ability for health plans and Medicaid to pay for shuttles as trips for non-emergency transportation, that is an interesting idea that I would like to follow up on."

Blessed are the peacemakers
The first Catholic college to launch a peace studies program was Manhattan College in New York, which opened its Pacem in Terris Institute in 1965, offered its first interdisciplinary peace studies class a year later, and had an undergraduate major under way by 1971. Early in the program's development, Pope Paul VI took notice and sent his blessing, along with a message to the Institute's organizers encouraging the "efforts for education for peace" that were taking place.
While peace studies have long been offered at schools affiliated with historic peace churches (Church of the Brethren, Quaker, and Mennonite), as well as some nonreligious schools, Catholic institutions have experienced a remarkable growth of peace studies programs in the past several decades, in no small part because of an emphasis by recent popes and bishops on the centrality of peace, as well as the enthusiasm of students and faculty.
"I came into this field because of a strong commitment to my faith and to the church," says Ronald Pagnucco, chair of the peace studies department at the College of St. Benedict-St. John's University in St. Joseph, Minnesota. "I've been impressed with a lot of the statements that have come out of Rome and from the U.S. bishops."
In particular, Pagnucco points to a section of Ex Corde Ecclesiae, Pope John Paul II's 1990 document on Catholic universities: "A Catholic university . . . as an extension of its service to the church . . . is called on to become an ever more effective instrument of cultural progress for individuals as well as for society. Included among its research activities, therefore, will be a study of serious contemporary problems in areas such as . . . the promotion of justice for all . . . the search for peace and political stability, a more just sharing in the world's resources."
"I thought, 'Wow, this is great stuff,' " says Pagnucco, who came to peace studies from sociology. "It reaffirmed that this kind of research, this kind of concern for the world and for the poor, is what a Catholic university should be doing."
Father William Headley, C.S.Sp., dean of the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies at the University of San Diego, agrees. "Any school that calls itself Catholic builds on Catholic social teaching, and justice and peace is a hallmark of that," he says. "It's hard to find an embodiment of that hallmark as practical as a school or a program deliberately designed to address conflict, development, human security, and human rights. We are considered a real asset to our academic community."

Video: Whole Firehouse Audio with Sonos®
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Sonos® donated a wireless audio system to our local fire station. The firefighters looked forward to being able to play music from their smart phones as they did their chores, cooked and worked out in the firehouse.
Video Transcript
Whole firehouse audio with Sonos
Tara: We're here at the Seminole Trail firehouse which is where a bunch of our Crutchfield employees volunteer. So they work all day long and then volunteer their nights and weekends here at this firehouse. One of the things that keeps them going during their downtime is listening to music, so Sonos donated a whole house, or whole firehouse in this case, audio system for us to install for them.
Sonos is a wireless music system and it lets you play a whole bunch of different music. You can play music that's stored in a computer, you can play web-based services like Pandora® Internet radio, Spotify, even Internet radio stations. And it's super easy to control. You can download a free app if you have a smart phone. And this is gonna be perfect for the firefighters because a bunch of them have smart phones so they can download the app, and then they're able to quickly cue up whatever music, whatever station they want to listen to anywhere in this building, because Sonos is a multi-room system, too. So that means that you can put different players in different rooms. In the firehouse, we have one player here in the kitchen, a player in their training room, a player in their weight room, and even a player down in their bay so they can listen to music while they're working on their chores down there with the engines.
Rob: Well, I actually used the Samsung Galaxy Tab which was really easy to use. We, I guess, changed the different zones and went through a bunch of different music on Pandora so it was a lot easier than I actually anticipated. And it's also a lot better than the jukebox that we have down in the bay downstairs which was our pretty much station "sound system" for the last seven years.
Brenda: I mean it was really easy. After about two to three minutes I felt like I had it down, and me and the guys were all playing with it. We had a good time.
Yousef: We were just goofing around then we all got a turn. I played Arabic music and I did "Lion King", too, so I got a lot of fun music in there and we had a good time.
Milo: Everything from hardcore metal to Disney, and that, I'm sure, will not change.
Rob: We've had a couple of controller wars, as they said, where people were switching between zones and volumes and interesting things like that. So you can see actually on the tablet when somebody else is doing that and you're like "Oh you're switching my song" or "Oh you're turning on the volume" or turning up the volume or switching zones or something like that.
Tara: You only have to connect one player to your home network and everything else communicates wirelessly using its own network and that network feeds off of all the different players so every time you add a player the network gets even stronger. So we can have a player on one side of the station, on the other side of the station, and down in the engine bay and all of the music is still super clear and super detailed and we have no signal dropouts whatsoever.
Drew: And I would definitely have to say that after playing with the Sonos system for a little while that I would definitely classify it as firefighter proof and safe for use in a fire department environment.
Tara: So everyone's really excited to keep trying out the Sonos to be able to have music all throughout the station. Some of them are even thinking about putting Sonos in their house now too.

Right of Way Permits are issued by the Resource Management Department when excavation takes place in a Boone County Road owned or maintained right of way. Please see the definition of "excavation" in the Boone County Right of Way Work Permits Policy. There are three types of permits which are issued for different types of work.
- A Special Permit is issued to utility service providers that requires a specific on-site inspection for excavation work within the right of way.
- A General Permit is issued to utility service providers which are required to regularly perform excavation work within road right of ways.
- An Individual Permit is issued to all other applicants who wish to perform work in the right of way. A $150.00 deposit is required for Individual permits. After all inspections are performed and all work is completed a refund will be issued, less inspection, mileage, and administrative fees.
All right of way permits ust be approved by the Chief Construction Inspector prior to any work being performed.
A Utility meeting is held annually to discuss changes and to update utility contact and billing information.
Please click here for a Right of Way Permit Application.
Driveway Permits are issued by the Resource Management Department for new or upgraded driveways that are connected to a County maintained road. Some types of upgrades that require a permit are: resurfacing an existing driveway, upgrading a culvert, and widening a driveway.
The cost for a driveway permit is $60.00. If you are building a new structure that requires a new driveway entrance a site inspection of the driveway will need to be performed prior to receiving any building inspections (including footings).
Driveways are inspected for sight distance (see Boone County Roadway Regulations, Chapter II, Spec 410.01C) and for determination of culvert size which is determined by the area draining across the drive location. Please call our office to check if a permit is required for the type of work you will be doing.

TRENTON — Data released by the Department of Education today shows the majority of charters in urban areas last year outperformed other public schools in their host districts on required standardized testing. However, many of the charter schools still performed below state average.
The NJDOE data on charter school achievement can be found here: http://www.nj.gov/education/chartsch/expectations.pdf.
Gov. Chris Christie has proposed increasing the number of charter schools and expanding choice for children in failing schools as part of his efforts to reform New Jersey's education system.
"The data shows us that the innovation and creativity that drove the charter movement in the first place are getting real results for our children," said Acting Education Commissioner Chris Cerf. "High-quality charters in New Jersey are shining examples of why we can no longer accept that zip code equals destiny. It's critical that we act immediately to strengthen and expand charter schools in the state by implementing Governor Christie's education reforms."
In Newark, all but two of the nine charter schools outperformed the district average for Math and all but two out-scored the district average in Language Arts. Four charter schools — Discovery, Gray, Robert Treat Academy and North Star — bested the state average in Language Arts. In Math tests, Discovery, Gray, Greater Newark, North Star Academy and Robert Treat Academy scored higher than the state average. In Camden, all four charters outperformed the district averages in Language Arts and Math.
"These charter schools are living proof that a firm dedication to students and a commitment to best education practices will result in high student achievement in some of New Jersey's lowest-income areas," said Carlos Perez, chief executive officer of the New Jersey Charter School Association. He pointed to NJASK data for third grade Language Arts, where more than half the charters outperformed the schools in their home districts, and of those, more than 75 percent were located in former Abbott districts.
"With charters – as with all schools — accountability is critical. Charters are not permanent and must be renewed on a regular basis, helping ensure accountability," said Newark Charter School Fund CEO Mashea Ashton. "The data shows that charter schools are working hard and successfully providing a high quality education for their students."
Two Newark charters were recently given the prestigious national Blue Ribbon award; five total New Jersey charters have received the award, considered the highest honor an American school can achieve. The federal Blue Ribbon School Program honors public and private elementary, middle, and high schools, in operation for five or more years, that are either high performing or have improved student achievement to high levels, especially among disadvantaged students.

Children killed during attempted exorcism: Police
Two Maryland women have been charged in the stabbing deaths of two young children during what police believe was an attempt at an exorcism.
Norell Harris, 1, and his sister, Zyana Harris, 2, suffered fatal stab wounds while their siblings, who are 5 and 8, were hospitalized, authorities said.
CNN reported that Monifa Denise Sanford, 21, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder. And the children's mother, Zakieya L. Avery, 28, also faces the same charges.
Police said Saturday that Avery stabbed two of her children to death and wounded two others while attempting an exorcism.
But they did not provide details on why they suspected exorcism.
"Investigators have learned that the two defendants believed that they were performing an exorcism. The investigation into this motive and other aspects of the crime continue at this point," police said.

John Cho: There's talk about repealing 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell', it...would be okay to be gay in our military. Well, let me tell you something. When the sh*t hits the fan, and the Taliban decides to nuke us, I don't wanna be down there in a foxhole and see that everybody's knocking down appletini's watching Sex And The City 2.
John Cho: Wasn't even as good as the first one.
Sarah Silverman: I don't think you can fit in the cockpit of an F-16 if you're wearing a tutu, and I don't think it's safe. My tax dollars paid for that jet, and I don't want some gay flying it in his little pink tutu. Now you probably think that means I don't want ballerinas in our military. Not true. I actually think there are scenarios, especially like, espionage-type assassination missions where we need ballerinas behind enemy lines.
Sarah Silverman: I just don't want them to be weird gay fruits.
Dave Holmes: We're fighting two wars. All right? We got a stack a mile high of intelligence and we don't have enough people to translate it. All right? Our country's in a recession and investigating and discharging gay soldiers, and recruiting and training their replacements. It's cost us three hundred and sixty three million dollars.
Dave Holmes: And two guys kissing is gross.
"Weird" Al Yankovic: Nightmare scenario. I've got Osama Bin Laden in my sights. The openly gay guy next to me catches a whiff of my Axe body spray. He can't help but try and kiss me!
Jenny Lennon: If we let gays serve this country, are we all gonna have to start taking showers with our clothes on? Because I for one do not want to see a naked gay. I'm in a shower with a straight lady and it's like yeah, hey. Whatever. I'm in the shower with a gay lady all of a sudden it's like, oh, your body looks soft. You're soapy. I don't want a gay lady making me think like that!
Alex Fernie: First, we let in openly gay people into the military. Next, chihuahuas wearing sequined vests. That's just math! Okay?! What's next? Unicorns wearing Capri pants?
Thomas Lennon: Army uniform on a gay. [Laughing] I'm sorry, but that, that's, that would be like, like, that would be like, like this mustache on a gay guy. [Laughing] Or this motorcycle jacket. It'd be wrong. And weird.
Sarah Silverman: While none of us have actually served our country...
John Cho: We know exactly who we don't want doing it for us.
Dave Holmes: We are Guys Against You Serving.
Thomas Lennon: And we are proud. [Snaps Fingers]

CHELSEA — The owner of the shuttered Shadow nightclub in Chelsea said he plans to "torment" complaining neighbors if officials stop a new owner from taking over the space from him.
"I'm going to dump money into [Shadow] and torment these people," longtime owner Steven Juliano said about neighbors who have complained for years about noise and crowds on the club's block.
"We will come back with a bigger, badder and blacker Shadow nightclub — and trust me, they'll really hate that last part."
Juliano hopes to sell Shadow to Michael Satsky, owner of Provocateur in the Meatpacking District. Satsky's liquor license application will appear before Community Board 5 on Wednesday, and will eventually need to be approved by the State Liquor Authority.
Juliano, who said he has stage III pancreatic cancer and only months to live, put the club up for sale late last year, claiming that neighbors only wanted him gone because the majority of his patrons are black.
The club at 229 W. 28th St. was closed by court order, according to an NYPD sign posted on its front door that provided no other details. According to Juliano, police came to the club at 9 p.m. on Thursday to shut it down.
"The joke's on them — we were already closed," he said. "We turned in our liquor license four days prior."
Juliano said he planned to fight the shutdown, then renovate the space if Satsky is unable to take over the club.
The club has hosted parties on the block for more than 17 years, though in recent years, residents in nearby condos complained of violence, loud parties, and massive crowds lining the streets when the club lets out. Those fed-up neighbors started an online petition asking cops to shut down the club. On Monday, the petition had 75 signatures.
The 500-person club has a history of violent incidents and was shut down once before in June.
"The thing on the door is absolutely positively meaningless except it prohibits me from entering my own club," Juliano said.
Satsky said he has already reached out to neighbors about his new project, and plans to invest millions to renovate the club.
"Provocateur is known to be the most private nightlife establishment and we are expanding on this concept," Satsky said.
"We are taking our private Provocateur concept while integrating a clientele of music enthusiasts in order to provide a larger stage for artists to perform. There will be nothing similar to the existing Shadow."
The NYPD and SLA did not respond to requests for comment.

You say Pumpkin, I say Squash. You say Zucca, and some of you may even say Calabaza! How ever you mash it, Pumpkin rules the world! Please indulge me while I take Pumpkin Day a bit global. You see, I've done so many traditional pumpkin posts since beginning this blog in 2007, quite frankly, I'd like to explore "a far."
The stewing of this exploration began when I visited a luscious post by Lena titled Steamed Pumpkin Kuih. I don't know why, but it just never occurred to me that Pumpkins were accessible in Asia. Fact is, those big orange spheres of the squash family have been global for years!
Let's begin in England. There are eateries in the United Kingdom that serve Thanksgiving Dinner on the same day as we do. I didn't know that. And I thought Thanksgiving was exclusively an American Holiday, here! here! Many restaurants, especially in London, host an All American Thanksgiving Dinner. I'm not sure what that might include, however, it would make sense that pumpkin may appear on the menu. Citizens of England were eating pumpkins long before the colonists ever landed on Plymouth Rock. They were quite "fashionable" to dine on until the late 18th century when they were tossed to the side by way of the less fortunate. One of the easiest ways to enjoy pumpkin in the "English" fashion is to cube it and toss it in with your regular ingredients the next time you prepare a Corned Beef Dinner. I believe the following recipe for Pumpkin Corned Beef Dinner "arrived" from "across the pond."
Food historians believe, the pumpkins introduced to the colonist by the Native Americans, arrived in North America via Central America. When the European explorers arrived in the New Wold they found Native Americans eating all kinds of squashes, but pumpkins were their favorite. The colonists thought the pumpkins were a sort of giant melon. In a way, they were right. Pumpkins with all their tasty Vitamin A, belong to the botanical family called Cucurbitaceae which also includes cucumbers, gherkins and melons. Not only were they plentiful, they were versatile too and could be preserved for use during long cold winters. I read that at times when the barley crop failed, the colonists even used pumpkin for brewing beer! Punkin Ale is now brewed in southern Delaware.
Pumpkin has been a part of traditional Mexican food for many centuries. In fact, pumpkin seeds have been found in Mexico, which may be nearly 9,000 years old! Mexican pumpkin recipes include the popular pumpkin candy dulce de Calabasas, Mexican pumpkin soups and dishes where it is braised, stewed and even mashed and used as a topping for tostadas and as a taco filling! Pumpkin seeds, pepitas, are very popular in Mexican cooking. Seeds saved from carving out a jack-o'-latern can also be substituted. It's best to hull them, clean them, and roast them first:) Or, you may be able to find the green hulled variety used in Mexican cooking in your local supermarket or health food store. When you're ready, I found this recipe for Chicken Braised in Pumpkin Seed Mole Verde at, dare I say, the Food Network. I'm in a generous Food TV mood tonight, a new Chopped is on and one of the competing chefs is from Teller's in Islip, New York. My old "stomping" ground. :) I also found this recipe for Green Pipian. I hear it goes GREAT with Catfish! My contribution for cooking pumpkin in the Mexican style is harvested from The Art of Mexican Cooking by Jan Aaron and Georgine Sachs Salom; copyright 1965. Boy would I love to see this cooked up. Pumpkin, oranges, pudding, oh my; Calabaza, Pumpkin Pudding:
From The Cooking of South-West France by Paula Wolfert, © 1983, we have Fried Pumpkin Slices; "Chips" de Potiron. My apologize to Paula Wolfert, I got a little bent out of shape when Chef Cafariella got Chopped!
Pumpkin Chutney has a nice sound to it but have you ever heard of Pumpkin Chakee? I hadn't either until I spied this recipe in The Complete Book of Curries by Harvey Day. (1966)
A few years back, for Columbus Day, I shared a book titled Columbus Menu: Italian Cuisine after the First Voyage of Christopher Columbus by Stefano Milioni. It was published by the Italian Trade Commission in 1992 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus's first voyage. The book contains both the original Italian recipes and adapted recipes which utilize New World foods such as tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, corn, beans, squash, turkey and cacao (chocolate). The book is not only a collection of recipes, it also includes a short history of each of these ingredients.
Squashes: The introduction of the New World's zucche and zucchini created less of a stir in Europe than other types of unfamiliar vegetables from the Americas, because some of their relatives had already been cultivated and regularly consumed in Europe for centuries. However, the newcomers were more attractive and much tastier...It should be noted, however, that the exact origin of the pumpkin and some other squashes is much disputed. Some experts say Europe acquired them millennia ago from an Asian homeland, while others insist that they originated in the New World... Pumpkin and zucchini only entered Italian cuisine after the seeds of Cucurbitaceae (the gourds) were brought to Europe from the New World and the plants began to be cultivated in Italian gardens. In the 16th century, Sienese botanist Pietro Andrea Mattioli observed, in discussing the cooking of pumpkin, that "it is the practice to eat it either boiled or fried in the pan or roasted. Boiled, it has little appeal in itself. When roasted, or fried in the pan, it releases a great deal of its moisture. Nonetheless, because of its natural water, it should be eaten with oregano."(Columbus Menu Pg.79)
And that delicate dish of goodness pictured above, that was confiscated from La Cucina: The Complete Book of Italian Cooking edited and adapted by Myra Street ©1986.
The seaside resort town of Moneglia, population under three thousand, located about 35 miles (60 kilometers) southeast of Genoa, is home to one of the most unusual Carnevale in all of Italy. This event, known as the Carnevale della Zucca (Carnival of the Pumpkin), originated when two peasants argued over the ownership of a pumpkin that grew on the boundary separating their farms. I can't promise you pumpkin pie but you should enjoy this Carnevale and the local food and wine. (source)
Thank you for joining me and my cookbooks on this pumpkin hop. I guess there is a whole lot more to pumpkin than just Pumpkin Pie. However, I just can't say Happy Pumpkin Day without leaving at least one more Pumpkin Pie recipe. This one is from none other than "Lady Thanksgiving" Sarah Hale:

While spring and purified water are OK, do not quench your feline's thirst with mineral water. Excess minerals can, over time, promote health problems, such as feline urinary tract disease.
Pop quiz: What's better than any alarm clock for getting your kids up and out the door on time for school? The answer is probably sleeping somewhere in your house right this minute: a cat!
When I was growing up, our family cat, Gizmo, would help me get ready every morning. Like clockwork, she was my wakeup call, meowing outside my bedroom door bright and early, telling me it was time to get moving. My real alarm clock would go off, and that was her cue.
I'm not a morning person and I'm addicted to the snooze button. My mom could yell from downstairs 15 times and I could ignore that, but I couldn't ignore Gizmo. Without her, I'm pretty sure I would have missed my bus more often than not.
What's even better, though, is that because of her, I woke up every morning with a smile on my face. I'd hear her calling for me, and then I'd crawl out of bed and let her in to start our routine. It was our special time together and one of my favorite parts of the day. When I left for college, her wakeup calls were one of the things I knew I'd miss the most.
Now, more years later than I care to confess, I have another alarm clock named Moo. I open my eyes every morning to his nose in my face. He sits on my feet while I blow-dry my hair and watches me put on makeup from his spot on the bathroom counter, making sure I start every single day with a smile.
So how do you go about setting your cat to wake your kids up? If they're the first ones up in the morning, that's easy: The cat will probably go to them automatically. If they're not, you may have to train your kitty.
Have your child give your cat treats first thing before he or she does anything else. Try feeding your cat its breakfast in your child's bedroom. Bring the cat over to the bedroom every morning, until it learns that's where it's supposed to be in the morning. Most importantly of all, make sure your kid rewards the cat for good behavior. Love, massages and hugs are all positive reinforcements.

PITTSBURGH - Chuck Noll, the Hall of Fame coach who won a record four Super Bowl titles with the Pittsburgh Steelers, died Friday night at his home. He was 82.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner said Noll died of natural causes.
The Steelers won the four Super Bowls over six seasons from 1974-79, an unprecedented run that made Pittsburgh one of the NFL's marquee franchises.
Noll's 16-8 record in postseason play remains one of the best in league history. He retired in 1991 with a 209-156-1 record in 23 seasons, after inheriting a team that had never won a postseason game in club history.
Noll was a demanding figure who did not make close friends with his players, yet was a successful and motivating leader.

I was running it from a usb stick. I copied it to My Documents folder and ran from there. No difference. Rather than bang my head against a wall, and possibly waste your time as well (particularly since I am new with the program and had been tinkering around with it quite a bit,) I decided to start from scratch. I re-downloaded everything and performed a clean install. It is now running just fine from both my usb drive and from the My Documents folder.
As much as I like to know WHY things are (or are not) working, I think in this case it was probably just something I did and further troubleshooting wouldn't be worth the effort.
Thanks for your replies and your outstanding software. Keep up the great work!

I like this book because it has a lot of funny parts. The funniest part was at the end when the mouse found a nut and the book said, "all was quiet in the wood and the nut was good." I like rhymes. My favorite part is when the mouse makes the animals scared, but it's really the gruffalo. This book reminds me of when I was four and my cousin and I used to make up plays with rhymes in them.
I would tell preschoolers and four year olds and maybe six year olds to read this book. I would tell them to read it because it has a lot of funny parts. It will make them laugh.

Should Carolina Panthers go after Hines Ward?
In a word, no.
And that's not to diminish what Ward has done. He's been one of the best blocking wide receivers in the league, he caught 1,000 passes in Pittsburgh, he was a four-time Pro Bowler, a Super Bowl MVP and even the "Dancing with the Stars" champion.
But Ward is also turning 36 next week. His body has taken 14 years of NFL punishment. He only caught 46 passes for 381 yards and two TDs in Pittsburgh last season. His high point -- a 67-yard game -- came in Week 1, and it went slowly downhill from there. Simply, he's lost his burst.
That's not to say Ward wouldn't work somewhere as an elder statesman//third receiver type. Maybe he even ends up back in Pittsburgh at a lesser salary.
But the Panthers already have filled the role of "aging wide receiver who can still play" -- it's played by Steve Smith every week. Smith is younger and far more explosive than Ward. The Panthers don't need Ward, Terrell Owens or Randy Moss -- they need to develop some youth at the position that will be in Charlotte a long time and go along with quarterback Cam Newton. (Smith's contract expires after the 2012 season, and what happens next is anyone's guess, although he would like to stay in Charlotte and the Panthers should make every effort to keep the best player they have ever had).
David Gettis and Brandon LaFell will likely be the second and third receivers this season, but Carolina still needs another guy. Legedu Naanee started a lot over LaFell last season because he was such a good blocker and dirty-work guy. Maybe he comes back. Maybe it's someone else. Maybe Carolina lucks into Justin Blackmon at No.9 in April's NFL draft,a lthough I don't think he will last that long.
But Ward? I wish him well and I admire his good work over the years, but I think it would be a mistake for the Panthers to make that investment.
-- One additional college basketball note: As you likely know, Duke and UNC play each other Saturday night at Duke for the ACC regular-season championship and the No.1 seed in next week's ACC tournament.
The Observer will post a video with some really cool highlights on Friday morning at CharlotteObserver.com where I will be picking my Top 5 All-time Comebacks in this 233-game series (Austin Rivers' three-pointer is in there, but I won't say where). So watch for that -- the column to go along with the video will also be on the site and in the newspaper in the next 48 hours.

Walter Davis #1.

NO,no,no...Idea is to get younger at the position not older. Look at what the steelers did with their WR core(and they are letting him go) then look at what the Jets did.

Heck no, Moss would be tight though.
- March 1, 2012 at 9:42 AM
I agree. I love Hines Ward, but his best games are behind him. Instead of singing another aging WR, the Panthers should sign or draft quality talent, similar to the talented, young WR group that the NY Giants have.

Play Hines in the same way the Panthers used to line up Ricky Proehl. Hines can still be a productive slot receiver, as he pretty much had last year off.
He would serve as a valuable influence to Cam, as Hines could play about 20 plays per game. Hey, if the price is right, why not bring in some more experience. It's not as if the Panthers need Hines to collect 50 catches on the year...30-40 would be terrific and take pressure off of Smitty on the outside.
Yeah, like Scott ever knows what he is talking about!
- March 1, 2012 at 10:24 AM
NO NO NO NO WAY.....Hines is done...lets go after Torry Holt also....hahahaha.....
now Randy Moss would be interesting....
- March 1, 2012 at 11:12 AM
Bono, I couldn't have said it better myself. Imagine the pressure he would take off of our younger wr's. you have him, gettis, lafell, and smith spread out and d'will in the backfield with cam. imagine what kind of spread option you could run out of that! Not only that but he is a damn good blocking rec. Just like moose was. I would be stoked if we got him.

Deep threat other than Steve Smith? Look no further than David Gettis. He had an 88 yard TD that was more his speed burning the Ravens defense than a good pass from St. Pierre. Still cannot believe he was a quarterback for us. Anyways, I know he's coming off a knee injury but usually that makes a player more motivated. Welker destroyed his knee and he came back just as good as before. For once we don't need another WR. Please address the real issues of the team. Aging O-line, LB and CB depth, solid DT and a new kicker and punter.

Pleazzzzze....no old stealers has beens on our team......they smell too bad.....stale beer
- March 1, 2012 at 12:32 PM
We already have an "aging" receiver. Time to develop Gettis and finally LaFell is showing what he can do. Plus, remember there is a salary cap problem, too. With the "core" players that got big contracts next year, the Panthers simply don't have a lot of money to spend, and what they do have needs to go toward the defense.
- March 1, 2012 at 1:33 PM
I meant big contracts LAST year...

As tempting as it is, I agree. Don't pick up Ward. too long in the tooth. He and Smith are the same age. Get the youth.
- March 1, 2012 at 1:39 PM
Good recommendation. Only three reasons you bring him in: 1) he came cheap, 2)he would be a mentor for the younger WR corp 3) he came cheap.
Steve Smith seems to be doing ok with #2 now, so probably a good plan to pass. Rather draft someone. this year's draft is deep at WR.
- March 1, 2012 at 3:00 PM
God, is this news? They shouldn't go after Hines any more than they do Lynn Swann... both are done!
- March 1, 2012 at 3:53 PM
Also in a word: No. Can't go for every big name guy who becomes available. That is what Snyder and Jerry do, not the Panthers. Though Shockey was kind of in that category, but he worked out I guess.
- March 1, 2012 at 4:05 PM
The only thing that amazes me more than CO writers bringing up "should Panthers sign (insert name of Ancient Player Du Juir here)" is the number of people who are putting all of their eggs in the basket named David Gettis.
Can I PLEASE have some of what y'all are smoking? You're having fascinating hallucinations and I feel like I'm missing out.
Apparently, I need to remind you again that Gettis had 2 good games on a 2-14 team scored so rarely it was headline news when they did. And that good game against Frisco where he caught the game-winning TD late? He was only a hero because he dropped the ball in the end zone earlier in the 4th quarter with no one covering him. If this isn't bad enough, John Fox absolutely loved him - and any skill position player that Fox loves is reason enough to run far away from him.
We could use another WR to go with Smith & LaFell, but Gettis is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
- March 1, 2012 at 4:27 PM
"lost his burst" Heck, Hines never had a burst, so there is nothing to lose. He is a gritty receiver and the reason his production was down last season was because his playing time was severely limited. I think Hines can still be a great receiver in this league, but I also understand why the Steelers let him go. They have 2 GREAT young receivers in Wallace and Brown and their 3rd and 4th receivers are required to play special teams. Hines isn't a special teams player anymore.
- March 1, 2012 at 7:13 PM
Neither Gettis nor LaFell is a "game changer". Panthers need a stud to replace Smith when the time comes. But Ward and Moss...they are golden oldies and definitely not right for this team.
- March 1, 2012 at 7:29 PM
- Michael Procton said...
7:13: The reason his snaps were limited is because he's not as good as even Arnaz Battle anymore. That's a PROBLEM.
- March 1, 2012 at 8:40 PM
Gettis is legit. He's a big receiver with track speed. No one is placing all of their eggs in his basket, but he does have potential to be a deep play threat. Hopefully he'll recover well from the injury.
If you're basing your opinion off of Gettis from the 2010 season, I'd suggest you at least give him a clean slate this season. He was catching passes in one of the worst offenses of all-time and still managed 3 TDs with Clausen and St. Pierre throwing the ball. Look at #89's numbers from that season.
I agree that the Cats have much bigger areas of concern (DT, CB, OT, LB).
I would love for the Cats to draft a returner/play-maker at some point. Like if Lamichael James was still there in the 3rd round or Isaiah Pead in the 5th. The Armanti experiment didn't work and we need a serious boost in the punt-return game.
- March 1, 2012 at 9:17 PM
The Panthers have no interest in getting a quality wide receiver to win championships...they are more focused on selling tickets, hot dogs and beer! So why not pick up Ward and fill the seats with Steeler transplants who will show up to root for their aging hero no matter what and put silver in the Richardson's coffers!

Mike Wallace - give up a number one for him.
- March 2, 2012 at 12:37 AM
Moose is the best blocking receiver in the history of the NFL. We should bring him back. Smith, Moose, and Gettis = Superbowl
- March 2, 2012 at 8:25 AM
No need for a backup WR who can not play ST.
- March 2, 2012 at 10:12 AM
Since the Saints are needing to make room for Brees to cash in they are probably going to let some of there free agents go, and make some cuts at other places, I say if they cut Vilma, since we need another lb we sign him and start running a 3-4 and have Anderson, Beason, Vilma, and Davis. HOLY $#*% that would be the best LB corps in the league. I'm already getting excited about nothing. Oh well, one can dream right....
- March 2, 2012 at 12:14 PM
If we were to ever get J Vilma...... along with a healthy Davis, Beason, and Anderson......
But anyway, the only WR I think we should make a play for is Vincent Jackson. Why not? He's a free agent.
- March 2, 2012 at 12:53 PM
I am so thrilled that Hines Ward is leaving Pittsburgh because I would love to see him in Charlotte. I have been a huge fan of his for a long time, and can't even tell you how far back that goes!! The class and the passion exhibited in his words is so typical of what I have grown to know about him. I want him here - Please, Hines, you need to head South. He just needs a fresh change to get his speed and excitement back, and he would look great on the same field with Steve Smith and all of our other fabulous Panthers. I would love to send him a note that expresses that because I ache for what he feels right now, and I REALLY want him to think about us. The weather is soooooo much better here. He would be a huge inspiration for out team!!! If he will get this email, I will be thrilled; otherwise, I would love to know how else I might send him a communication. You're loved here, Hines.
Many thanks from a passionate southerner.
- March 2, 2012 at 5:43 PM
- March 2, 2012 at 5:45 PM
Randy Moss would actually be a NICE fit for a one year run...He will work for food...or the veteran minimum and if you put escalators in his deal for a 1,000 yard season, pro-bowl, 80 catches etc...he could perform...the worse the cats do is lose a mediocre signing bonus.
Gettis and Lafell are nowhere near being number two capable and for all we know Gettis may pull a Thomas Davis and blow out his knee again! Then what?
The Panthers had a similar chance to get Brandon Lloyd last season but did not and Lloyd went on to get 1,000 yards and in effect, he was better than Lafell, Naanee and Gettis all together! That is another Hurney mistake!
Thanks Marty

Jason Barber-
You said trade a 3rd rounder this year and next for Mike Wallace! FOr one, we do not have a 3rd rounder this year (Olson trade) and unless Big Ben is smoking chronic and making the GM moves himself..Wallace will cost more than a 3rd rounder!
Try two seconds or even a 1st and 2nd or a if they wanted him gone then maybe a 2nd and third...
- March 4, 2012 at 5:29 AM
Of course not. He's is finished after a great career. time to call it a day. go get V.jackson, Garcon, or colston
- March 4, 2012 at 9:39 AM
The Panthers need to focus on shoring up the D-Line and DB crew. Drafting Poe, and maybe a good WR in the second round, or going after V. Jackson once San Diego neglects to sign him is a good idea. No matter what receivers we have this year will be one tough offense to stop. Our defense concerns me. Our run D was horrible last year, which led to bad numbers in the secondary. Draft Poe, or Brockers (Poe preferrably) and then maybe a good CB/safety (Smith of ND if safety) in the second round.

Time to make a list and check it twice!
I've got a top five, but I've yet to nail down the entire list of ten. So, instead, some honourable mentions!
The Lindemann Award for Fastest Burn Out: Sabaton - The Last Stand
Loud, boisterous fun that's about as deep as a puddle. But what a hot couple of weeks those were!
The Devin Townsend Award for "This is really good, but I'm not quite feeling it": Devin Townsend Project - Transcendence
Dude operates on many wavelengths. Some times I can tune all the way in, and other times I just can't find the signal. This was somewhere in between the two extremes.
Video Game Soundtrack of the Year (Brought to you by Doritos and the Schick Hydrobot): Mick Gordon - DOOM
Best soundtrack of the year for the best game of the year. Perfect compliment to the white knuckle adrenaline rush.
The Obscure Bandcamp artist Award for 2015's album of 2016: Neurotech - Evasive / Stigma
Became a firm favourite quickly, and these albums have since rocketed up there in my list of most played.
Dishonourable Mentions (That aren't bad, just not quite to my tastes.)
Abbath - Self Titled
Coming to this all amped up on early Immortal was a bit of a cold, frosty shock. Slightly too plain sounding black metal with the kind of rock and heavy metal sounds I really don't like bolted on to it. Dad Black Metal.
Mortiis - The Great Deceiver
Like a Nine Inch Nails cover band that got lost in the dark, cold forests of Norway in 1994, Mortiis reemerges from his troll hole with a somewhat derivative 90s throwback album. Would have blown some minds back in the day, but now, it sounds all a bit played out.

I had a First Premier account charged off back in November of 2007. I started receiving notices from First National Collection Agency (?) at the first of the year. I called First Premier and they told me they no longer had the account. The CA was not reporting on my CBR, so I agreed to settle with them in March in hopes they would not show up on CBR. Within a few weeks, the original First Premier charge off was updated to show settled, and I got a nice score bump (utilization went down). I have not seen my EQ report since then (had to cancel scorewatch for a bit), but today I reactivated scorewatch and was surprised when it said one of the negative factors affecting my score was recent lates. First Premier apparently went back and changed every month prior to March to show 120+ late. My score has stayed about the same since March, even though I have added some credit cards (only 1 in March) and a collection fell off. I have not had any late payments on anything since the original First Premier charge off in 2007. Can they do that? If they sold to CA can they continue to report late? Seems a bit fishy to me.
First Premiere is complete scumbags. I had a deal where they are continually rolling over a late payment showing that I've had recent lates even after I settled with the collection agency. I have worked throught the credit bureaus with no success. I worked through the BBB and they did amend the mistake. I felt like they owed me for making me chase them for four months and asked them to remove, but they are so rightous and they refused. My goal is to see them blacklisted on this forum and have members stop using them as part of their rebuild. There is strength in numbers.
The fact that they took and reported a charge-off is immaterial to continued delinquency on the debt, as a charge-off removes the debt from their internal assets, and not from consumer oblitation to pay the entire debt.
Thus, provided they still owned the debt, it was permissible for them to continue to report your level of continued delinquency with them.
When did they actually sell the debt? Once sold, no, you no longer can have reportable lates with them, but they can go back and update delinquencies while the debt was still owed to them.
If they sold the debt prior to its payment, which is apparently the case, then they were required at that time tohave reported $0 debt balance on their account. that terminates their obligation. Later settlement with the new owner would then become irrelevant to them, so I suspect their reporting was one of having sold the debt, not of its later settlement with the new owner.
Yes, they can report the lates up until the time it was sold to the CA. Why they went back and reported all those lates? Seems sometimes it's out of spite. The unfortunate part is, it's not inappropriate. Send GWs to First Premier. Good Luck.
I guess I need to find out when it was actually sold to the collection agency. I know it was sold to them before March, because the CA sent me a few notices before I ever contacted them. FP is reporting 120+ lates up until April, so that is definitely incorrect. I think I am going to write a letter to FP requesting the dates it was sold to CA and go from there. I have two paid judgements from (2008 and 2009) and this FP account as my only negatives left. I will likely have to wait for the judgements to age off since I have no good reason for them to be vacated, but it least there is already a few years since they happened so their impact on my score is maybe not as bad. Now this FP crap makes it look like I have been super late recently which is probably really hurting my score. Ugh.

Freshman member picks up seat on Science, Space and Technology
Congressman Chris Collins, NY-27, has been named to the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, his third committee assignment. Three committee assignments is a rarity among members of Congress, especially newly elected members of the House of Representatives.
"I am both excited and honored to be asked to join the membership ranks of a third committee," Collins said. "As an engineer with a business background in both biotechnology and pharmaceutical science, I believe strongly in the power of science and scientific research to grow our economy and better our nation. I look forward to using my assignment on Science, Space and Technology to champion the growing research sector developing in and around my Congressional District, including the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and the Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester."
Collins will be the only Majority member from New York state on the committee.
Collins is currently a member of the House Agriculture and Small Business committees, and serves as chairman of the Small Business Subcommittee on Health and Technology.
