Using a casino mobile can become highly popular today. There are thousands who love the idea of using a mobile casino simply so they can enjoy playing casino games on the go. However, for most, they really don't know where to start their search for their games. There are lots of amazing mobile casinos out there but that's only half the battle. How can you start playing at a mobile casino? Read on to find out more about playing at a mobile casino.
Research the Mobile Casino Carefully – Including Compatibility
First of all, you have to ensure the mobile casino you are choosing to play at is actually compatible with your mobile. You might think all smart phones and tablets are compatible with every mobile casino out there but that's not the case. If you want to play mobile slots you have to ensure they are compatible with your devices. This is something which far too many people don't do and end up signing up to a site that's not quite right for them. That's why you have to research the casino carefully.
Register and Use Your Free Spins
Once you have researched the mobile site you then have to then proceed to sign up to the site and register. Registering is the only real way to play mobile casino games but you don't always have to part with a lot of personal information. For example you usually need to supply your name, maybe your address and your date of birth. The reason why most sites ask for your DOB is simply to ensure you are of legal age to use their website. After you have registered with the site you can then start using your free spins or bonuses if you have them. That will enable you to play and to be honest, it's a lot easier to register and play than you might think. Read more.
Play On the Go
Once you have registered you can choose from the games on the mobile site and start playing. It is really that simple and you are not going to have to do much after that apart from enjoying the games! A casino mobile is really easy to use. Signing up or registering takes a few minutes at best and once you have done so you'll be able to start playing the games on the go. That is incredibly easy and you're going to enjoy playing casino games more so than ever before. Love playing on the go and you might be lucky and win.
Enjoy Mobile Slots
If you are someone who loves to play slots then the mobile versions will be great. Of course, you can easily find a lot of slot machines out there but playing online can provide convenience more so than what you might think. There are so many great mobile sites out there and you can ensure you enjoy your time online.

"I paint for my people. Art is a way for our culture to survive...perhaps the only way. More than anything, I want to become an orator, to share with others the oldest of Indian traditions. I want people to look back at my work just like today we're looking back at the ledger drawings and seeing how it was then. I'm working one hundred years in front of those people and saying 'this is how we still do it...we still have our traditions.'"
Ledger art is traditionally a male American Indian pictographic art form, and historically has been characterized as such by researchers. Chronologically its stylistic development belongs to the the Proto-Modern era of the Native American Fine Arts Movement and was a major influence, through trade routes and the patronage of white art collectors, on Modern Indian Art as its elements diffused to the schools of New Mexico, Oklahoma, and the Northwest Coast. Its more explicit expression, however, yielded to the styles that developed in these schools and culminated in the early 1960's during a period of the Movement referred to as the First Generation Modernists. Only recently have the researchers of Ledger art recognized Virginia Stroud as the Native American Woman artist who, as a Second Generation Modernist and a member of the so-called "New Indian Art Movement", revitalized a traditionally male form of art expression with her pictographic images in the late 1960's to the early 1980's.
Stroud has experienced a transitional phase in her stylistic development which progressed from the traditional earthy pictorial images of the early eighties to a more brilliant color schema that focuses on the roles of women and children in Native American culture, centering on the preservation of a lifestyle across generations. This transitional phase strongly coincides with the chronological division of the Second Generation Modernists stage of the Native American Fine Arts Movement, and the Post-modern or Contemporary stage. However one wishes to define this Post-modern stage, Stroud's contemporary work displays a bold sense of color, combining the elements of the prior generations of Modernists, retaining its traditional style.
Virginia Stroud has established herself as a leading contemporary Native American woman artist and has compiled an impressive record in the process, being the recipient of many awards. Full Biography

I have been to Bay City, MI, Target and am very disappointed each time. I purposefully avoid this store and will drive to another city rather than deal with these people.
Each time I ask for help finding something I'm given a reason they can't help; don't have a scanner, not from this department, I'm unloading trucks, I'm busy or flat out I dont know and walk away. The problem isn't their answer, its the lack of drive to help me further and I'm treated like a nuisance for asking about location of items or stock in the back. The lack of quality customer service ranges from the customer service desk to the cashiers to staff walking throughout the store. I just called to see if they had an item and was told everyone is busy and she refused to check for me.
Why would I want to spend my hard earned dollar here?
A look many other places have better services. I'm no longer shopping here, and I make a point to tell others not to waste their time in Bay City too.
Great Comment! Would You Like to Convert It Into Review?You will be able to edit the text before publishing.
Terms of Service
I've never expect help in making a purchase at Target. They trow it on the shelf.
You put it an a cart and take it to the registers.
Unfortunately they don't want to hire many cashiers to take your money either. Sure wish they would put some self service registers so you don't have to wait in the 2 or 3 lines out of 24 they have open.
Each person has a different department and area and with a store with like thousand different items they don't know where everything is.
Keep in mind that Target doesn't view you as a customer, they call you a "guest". That's where the problem begins.
Do they treat you like a guest? Heck no. Have you ever considered charging a guest in you home for a beverage or a snack? No way.
Target will. That should give you an idea of what they think of you as a guest.
They are just there to turn a fast buck. Make sure you only pay with cash, you never know what will happen to your credit card or bank account information if you let them have it.
they get paid if they help you and they will get paid if they do not help you!! That is what CUSTOMERS get for minimum wage.
No motivation, no knowledge, no help. Who are you giving you hard earned dollar to The CEO of discount retailer Target Corp.
received a pay package in 2010 worth $23.9 million, 83 percent more than he made in 2009, because he became eligible for enhanced pension benefits and his stock awards rose as the company's performance improved..... what do the low level employees get ..........
Are you sure it isn't something in your attitude? I would be willing to bet you have never had an employee tell you they can't help you because they are unloading trucks, because that is done in the stock area where customers can't go.
They don't unload the trucks and take the merchandise directly out to the floor. As far as when you call to ask if they have a certain item, the store operator can't look, and as far as everybody being busy, if by any chance you happened to call just before the store was set to open, and they were in a store meeting.
They have them every morning just before opening. I used to work in a Target store.

Welcome to The Coach House
This luxury 5 star self-catering cottage retains some of the original stabling and offers a quintessentially English country cottage holiday. The cottage has a wonderful sunny aspect overlooking a well-stocked garden.
The Sunday Times chose The Coach House as one of its '100 Coolest Cottages for 2010'
The ground floor whilst providing separate areas, naturally flows from the comfortable sitting room, through the hall with original stable feature, to the lovely dining room with seating for six, and on in to the well-equipped kitchen, with a cloakroom beyond. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. French doors open out from the dining room on to the attractive garden.
We would like to keep The Coach House and its furnishings to a high standard for the enjoyment of all our guests. Unfortunately, this means that we cannot have pets or smoking.
The stairs lead up to a spacious twin bedroom with indulgent furnishings, en-suite bathroom, bath, basin and toilet. The twin beds convert to a large double bed on request. Along the landing is a delightful double bedroom with en-suite power shower, washbasin and toilet.
The cottage has its own access, drive and landscaped garden with secluded parking. A paddock joins onto the garden and you are welcome to share our extensive garden, with its mature trees and wonderful structures – look out for the apple arbour and bendy willow house. We encourage all manner of birdlife including owls and bats.
On Monday evenings our local bell-ringers practice at the beautiful village church some fifty yards away.

This was our third visit to Noelle's Cottages and this time we decided to stay in the Coach House. Upon driving in the entrance from the back lane we were greeted with gardens ablaze with spring flowers and the sight of the Coach House set back amid this riot of colour on a grey day. Our spirits were immediately lifted. We love North Yorkshire as a holiday destination and would not stay anywhere else. Noelle and her family are gracious hosts offering a warm welcome upon arrival and are always happy to offer help where needed. The Coach House is large enough to accommodate personal space as well as a really comfy sitting room and spacious separate dining area for spending time together. An armchair positioned in front of the large double doors which open out onto the garden was the perfect spot to relax and watch the changing parade of wild life. The beds are really comfortable and warm. We recommend the Coach House for a relaxing break, the quality of the furnishings, the position of the property for exploring the Moors and Dales and the impeccable service Noelle and her family offer.

The translation of human experience into an artful literary presentation is the art of writing. Writing is a careful craft that follows certain literary techniques. While writing, you go miles away with your imagination, you can transform reality into a fantasy world, you can meet exciting characters. But a story won't come out of the blue, it takes previous planning. You can have a very good idea, but you need to put your mind in order.
In writing, editing is of course essential to the overall success and professionalism of your work. At this point, you may need a professional help to find out errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. A professional copy editor or text editor will also determine whether the content relates appropriately to the readership, genre and purpose of the work. As for fiction story, plot, pace, characterization, and dialogue are also considered. While for non-fiction, you need to ensure that the facts are used effectively throughout, concepts are developed adequately, and material is well organized.
You need to make sure that your writing ideas will be delivered clearly when it gets to readers' hands. Give readers a clear and concise article. Whether your work is fiction or non-fiction, at the end of the day your final task is to ensures that the story-line and message of your piece will be understood by the reader with a renewed sense of clarity and impact.
Look, and know me in this horrid age
When I'm drunk, asleep, or in my rage
Speak to the unknowing world
For how this thing came about
So I scream for my desire
Let this age set me on fire
Let the heat tie me on wire
For I never be again a liar
Then I looked up; my time is past
All saw books are in the past
So I keep my mind saved in mirth
And remote all pangs of the world
– Taken from As The Rest Come To My Heart –

Histriomastix: Art for Critic's Sake:
The play "does not possess the penetrating truth or revelatory originality of a fully achieved work of art." Really? So…it's not art? Is it at least a fully achieved piece of entertainment? What is the difference? If, in 50 years, no one has written a large-scale family drama that is better than A:OC, will it be upgraded to the ranks of fully-achieved art (FAWA)? Is Isherwood speaking as a newspaper reviewer of 2007 or a cultural commissar from the distant future? Where does he park his time machine?
I wonder how often Isherwood's Tony-named colleagues—Scott and Tommasini—review a new movie or symphony and go out of their way to assure the reader: Well it's no Citizen Kane or Beethoven's Ninth, but pretty good! Do reviewers in other fields even bother with this sort of hierarchizing humbug? What proprietary, red-velvet-rope-fondling arrogance. What laughable, bean-counting, pompous equivocation. Anton Such antique snobbery is beneath even pre-ratatouille-munching Anton Ego (and I say that as a Neo-Snob). In closing: If you ever catch me issuing such vapid, flatulent dicti, kick me in my fat ass.

A few months ago, we presented the pilot episode of the upcoming show Glee. The response was very unusual. The pilot clearly struck a chord given the high volume of searches, streams, comments and tweets (all for what was just one pilot episode). It has been a long time since the Hulu team has seen such a wide variety of glowing adjectives in close proximity to the same noun. Given this, we went to Fox and the creators of Glee, and shared your responses to the pilot. We also asked if there was any way we could share even more of the show with you. They happily agreed.
With thanks to Fox and the creators of Glee, we're happy to share a musical number from the upcoming first season of Glee. Many thanks for the comments, tweets, searches and more. We're listening!

If you leave the scheme, either by ending employment or withdrawing from the scheme, there are various options available to you depending on the amount of service you have upon leaving. For more information please refer to the USS guide to leaving and the Options on leaving factsheet.
Membership is voluntary, however, government legislation means most members will automatically join the scheme unless you actively opt out once you have joined. In specific circumstances, for example if you are on a variable time contract, you may not join automatically. If you are unsure please speak to the USS pensions contact at your employer.
Once you leave USS your employer will let us know. We will then write to you to confirm the options available to you and where to find out more.
You may choose any one of the following:
For the the USS Investment Builder, if you have less than three months' contributions, your refund will be based on the amount you have paid in. If you have paid more than three months' contributions you will receive the fund value (i.e. including any investment returns earned on those contributions).
* Please note that if you have contributed to USS through salary sacrifice, you will not be entitled to a refund of contributions for the period of any sacrifice as these will have been paid for you by your employer as part of the arrangement. Please also be aware that if you transferred benefits from a personal pension into USS, you will not be able to receive a refund even if your service, including the transfer, is less than two years.
For more information please refer to the USS guide to leaving the scheme.
If you have over two years' service, a refund is not available to you and your benefit options will be confirmed to you in writing.
If you leave your benefits in the USS Retirement Income Builder this is what we call a deferred pension. Any pension (and cash) benefits you have built up at that point will be increased in line with USS's standard pension increases.
Any USS Investment Builder funds (and any money purchase AVC funds) you have built up will continue to be invested for you and you will still be able to manage these investments as usual, but you will not be able to contribute further.
As an alternative to deferred benefits you can transfer your benefits to another pension arrangement (provided the receiving scheme is approved by acceptable to HM Revenue & Customs). This includes most UK pension schemes and some overseas arrangements. You also have the facility to transfer your money purchase AVC fund and/or any USS Investment Builder funds independently of your USS Retirement Income Builder benefits.
No. Once an employment that entitles you to USS membership ends you can no longer pay in to the scheme. If you have withdrawn from the scheme but continue in an employment which entitles you to USS membership you can re-join the scheme at any time.
If you transfer to another employer who participates in USS and there is less than one calendar month between posts you can remain in USS without a break in your membership.
If there is more than one calendar month between posts you will be classed as having left the scheme and your options will be the same as for any other leaver.
Remember, if your personal circumstances have changed, make sure your expression of wish form is up to date.
You are encouraged to take financial advice before moving your retirement savings. It is now a legal requirement to take financial advice when transferring defined benefit rights from a scheme like USS to a defined contribution scheme when the defined benefit transfer is £30,000 or more.
Pension Wise - if you need some impartial guidance about the options you have with the USS Investment Builder you could contact Pension Wise. Pension Wise is a free and impartial government service set up to give you guidance on your options under defined contribution schemes, like the USS Investment Builder.

From Ecotrope
March 2013
Image from Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife staff brands Columbia River sea lions with hot irons to mark individuals for further observation. The brands allow officials to identify which sea lions are eating protected fish at Bonneville Dam.
Activists with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society say a branding operation in Astoria on Sunday caused one sea lion to die this morning. But the Oregon Department of Fish And Wildlife says there is no evidence supporting the group's claim.
The sea lion branding program has been operating since 1997. It uses hot irons to sear individual numbers into sea lions' hides for identification. The program has helped officials ID the sea lions that are eating threatened and endangered salmon and steelhead at Bonneville Dam's fish ladders so they can be targeted for lethal removal (or adoption by aquariums).
The Sea Shepherd's "Dam Guardians" are monitoring Astoria docks and Bonneville Dam as part of a campaign against branding and killing sea lions. They reported some sea lions "almost drowned" on a floating trap on Sunday before being put through an "extremely painful branding process" in which "several of the sea lions actually caught fire."
Image from Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
Branding burns sea lion fur and sears the top layer of skin, according to ODFW. How much that hurts them is in dispute.
They reported witnessing the animals "go into shock and start to
convulse" after the branding, and today they report that one sea lion,
branded with the number 349, died after struggling to swim and disappearing
into the water.
Ashley Lenton, a Dam Guardians campaign leader, said the sea lion must have died.
"He never came back up," Lenton said. "I'm sure his body has been swept into the ocean."
Jessica Sall of ODFW said it is "highly unlikely" the sea lion died
because of being branded – if it died at all.
"We've branded 1,400 sea lions and we've never seen any signs of distress," she said. "We haven't seen any evidence that an animal has died. It very well could have gone underwater and swam away."
Image from Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
A Sea Shepherd photo of sea lion 349, which the group says has died
because of trauma caused by branding.
Sall said the 38 sea lions caught in the trap on Sunday were never in any danger of drowning - even though the floating trap was tilting under the weight of an unusually high number of sea lions.
"The trap is designed to carry 50,000 pounds without sinking," she said.
And the fire seen on the backs of the sea lions in photos of the branding operation is from the sea lions' fur burning under the hot iron, said Sall. But the burning doesn't hurt sea lions the way it would hurt a person.
"We have to be careful about not ascribing emotions to actions in sea lions," she said. "We cant feel for them, but we know scientifically sea lion skin is very different from human skin. It has fewer nerve endings because it is used when sea lions haul out on big rocks and get washed into rocks by the surf."
Sall said ODFW was authorized by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to do the branding because research shows it doesn't have a negative impact on the animals.
Lenton said sea lions shouldn't be branded and killed for eating protected fish.
"A lot of people are outraged that this is happening," she said. "These sea lions have as much right to live as anyone else and as much of a right – if not more – to eat the fish. They're being blamed for a human problem."

A football club worker who sent topless photos of herself to players was a "desperate flirt" who thrived on male attention, an employment tribunal heard today.
Kerry Miller, 46, is accused of going into changing rooms at Burton Albion while players were getting dressed on 15 occasions.
The mother of one has confessed to having a "casual" relationship with defender Ryan Austin, 29, who has since moved on from the League Two club.
Striker Billy Kee, 23, told the Leicester tribunal Ms Miller sent him topless photos of herself and admitted he also sent two naked pictures of himself to Ms Miller after a night out in 2012.
He told the hearing the messages between the pair started getting sexual after he "drank a few pints."
Asked if he received one snap of Ms Miller in her underwear and then another of her topless Mr Kee again replied "yes."
He said: "I don't know how we got texting but we ending up exchanging pictures."
Defender Aaron Webster said he had seen X-rated photos of Ms Miller on the mobile phones of two players.
Webster, 32, who left the Midlands club last year after making 589 appearances, said: "Kerry likes male attention. In my opinion she would flirt with male staff and players on a daily basis.
"At one period we did see her quite frequently. I'm not 100% sure why she would be there.
"Some of the girlfriends saw Kerry as a bit of a threat. She was all over the chairman on one occasion. I felt it was a little bit desperate.
"I think she liked male attention. I thought she thrived on that."
Ms Miller quit her sales role at the club's Pirelli Stadium in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffs, in February last year after a row with the chairman Ben Robinson.
The widow, from Marchington, Staffs, is claiming constructive dismissal, sexual discrimination and harassment.
The tribunal continues.

LANTANA — Salaries and fringe benefits received by town employees are competitive with other Palm Beach County muncipalities, according to a study received by the Town Council.
Town officials said they were pleased to discover the town`s wages are in line.
They downplayed, however, another section of the report that was critical of the work environment and morale within town.
The study was commissioned after repeated complaints from town employees that they were paid substantially less than employees of other muncipalities, according to Mayor Henry Johnson.
Long Associates Public Management Systems of Fort Lauderdale prepared the report, comparing the town`s salaries, fringe benefits and pension plan to 11 other municipalities in the county, including neighboring Boynton Beach and Lake Worth.
The report, received last week, also included a section of observations and recommendations on employees` attitude toward the town and their work environment.
If the town adopted the salary recommendations, most of the town`s 104 employees would receive raises from $3 to $1,935 annually. Only two town employees would stay at their current salary level and no employee would receive a pay cut.
It would cost the town $12,404 to upgrade its current wages to those recommended in the study, according to Laura Stuurmans, senior partner with Long Associates.
``We are in the ball park, we are not underpaying our employees,`` Johnson said. ``The fact is that we`re right in line with what other cities and towns are paying.``
Town Manager Bob Cameron said the report should reassure employees who questioned whether they were being paid competitive wages.
``I think this study is very important,`` Cameron said. ``Now, disgruntled employees have an outside independent source that says things aren`t so bad after all.``

Every love relationship bears the risk of inevitable loss, and so to offer one's heart is always an act of emotional courage. The two main characters in The Healing Hour are not a likely pairing. The narrator, V, is an independent, feisty, witty businesswoman who is in a committed, happy relationship. Dr. Alex is a psychiatrist who helps her when she becomes quite ill with lupus, a disease that puts V at risk of losing both her eyesight and her business. But it is only a short time before Dr. Alex herself becomes ill, terminally. The healing hour now involves V's support and feelings for Dr. Alex. The memoir shows how being willing to love everywhere — your mate, your career, the streets of New York, your family, and then, even your doctor — can be healing for everyone. Even the readers.
Whether you loved 'The Bell Jar' or the other bell – 'The Diving Bell and The Butterfly', books about survival, or lack of survival, compel us to dig deeper in our own lives and ask the profound question, how do I go on living, coping, striving for another day? We all face obstacles. But, a book like 'The Healing Hour' is so chock full of humor, and the will to live, even in the face of adversity, that it inspires, even when all is not inspiring. Lupus is a devastating disease. You usually can't see it on the outside, but the day to day pain survivors face can be debilitating, in such insidious ways that it's hard not to go insane. V.C. does not go insane. She gets stronger, gains more insight and even gets richer – kinda. To write a story like this, and not sound like a victim is profound. I loved it. And, I love V.C for writing it! -Joy Rose

The first week of this school year is in the books, and I think we finished it with a bang!
Between all of the constant practice of routines and procedures that we do during the first week, I always try and squeeze in as many fun reading activities that I can. I take a poll on the first day of my students who love reading, kind of like it, and don't like it at all. I tell them it is my personal goal and mission this year to help every one of them find their "forever" book and their passion for reading. I set out to do this right away!
This year, we are taking the lead of the wonderful Teaching with a Touch of Twang (Sabra is amazing!) and taking the #ClassBookaDayChallenge! We will read 1 book for ENJOYMENT every.single.day. My students are overwhelmingly excited about this challenge (I will share in a separate blog post all of the fun Sabra and I are having with this amazing challenge!)
For now, I want to share about our Friday book: Saturdays and Teacakes by Lester Laminack.
If you don't have this book, you NEED it.
^This version is hardcover and includes the CD of Mr. Laminack himself reading the book, which we always love to listen to!^
Throughout the week we do activities from Ideas by Jivey's Mentor Text and Better Than Basal Units on this book.
On Friday, we get ready to dive into messy learning and take the book even further.
We listen to the CD of Mr. Laminack reading the story (my students love his accent!)
While listening, my students work on the setting graphic organizer (we discuss clues as we listen to the book.)
Then, while I am setting up the ingredients and passing out supplies, my students complete the theme activity together with their team.
And then the real messy fun beings!
On the Smartboard we write out the supplies and ingredients we need to make the Teacakes. I let my students completely lead this, because by now they should know all of the ingredients. I fill in the numbers for flour, sugar, and vanilla since those are not specified in the book.
My students sit in 4 teams of 6-8 each students in my classroom. Each team gets to mix up a batch of Teacakes, and then I divide up the dough and give each student a ball to roll out and cut into Teacakes.
Just like other hands-on activities I do, I always set up all of the ingredients at my small group table. Each team elects a "captain" at the beginning of the activity. ONLY this student is allowed to approach the table to retrieve ingredients. Then, they take turns passing the bowl around the team so each person gets a chance to add an ingredient and/or mix the bowl.
When they feel like their dough is ready, they ask me to check it. I do the Mammaw "pinch and taste" and give them their approval! :) (Or I help fix it if needed!)
Then I give each student at the team a sprinkle of flour on their desk, a ball of dough from their bowl, and a small rolling pin to use (play dough rolling pins work amazing!)
*I didn't get pictures of these steps because by this point I have flour and dough up to my elbows and am running around having fun helping!*
Here's a pretty sheet of Teacakes all ready to bake!
Two of my boys who were VERY excited to take it down to the cafeteria (note the INSANELY messy desks behind them.. yes my whole classroom was a huge cloud of flour and I love it!)
Luckily, the wonderful cafeteria ladies are more than willing to help and have the ovens ready and bake the Teacakes for us. (Always make friends with the cafeteria ladies and custodians… especially if you do as much crazy/messy learning as I do!)
While our Teacakes bake, we clean, clean clean!! We use spatulas to scrape the extra dough into the trashcan, and then Clorox wipes to scrub down the desks. My students do a great job of cleaning up because they know their Teacakes are coming.
Once they are done and ready to eat, my students work on their first "How-To" writing of the school year---> Teacake recipe cards! They are SO excited to work on these because they can't wait to make them again at home. PLUS, they're enjoying a yummy Teacake or two while they work. :)
I do collect these recipe cards for a quick writing grade, but I always give them back by the end of the day so they can take the card home and try it over the weekend! (It's Saturday morning and I've already gotten 5 emails from my kiddos saying they made Teacakes today!)
I highly recommend this book and these activities that go with it. You can pick up the graphic organizers I talked about above and the recipe card as a FREEBIE in my store as a back to school gift for you! Click here to download. :)

iPass Biz Travelers Can Roam in Pittsburgh
September 13, 2006
The downtown hotzone in the Steel City is finally done, and already has a roaming partner opening it up to visiting corporate road warriors.
After a few delays, the hotzone in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is live.
The network, run by US Wireless Online for the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership (PDP) and the city, uses the popular Tropos Networks MetroMesh equipment to supply access. And unlike a lot of municipal networks, it already has a roaming partner. The million or so users of the iPass Mobile Office service (formerly known as iPass Corporate Access) can access the network using the iPassConnect client software without paying anything outside of what their corporate masters already pay iPass in per-minute access charges.
iPass announced a separate deal today with Tropos (the basis of the Pittsburgh deal, really) whereby the equipment maker will ensure that iPass users can get "secure and reliable access" using Tropos equipment. The MetroMesh hardware has been certified by iPass as interoperable.
"The whole goal is to make it easy for municipalities to offer network availability to enterprise users," says Bilodeau. "There will be use by citizens, of course, but business travelers... [are] important to get network adoption momentum going."
The deal with Tropos is one thing, but US Wireless Online, as the provider, had to be okay with allowing the extra traffic online. Because the company uses gateway products from Pronto Networks an existing iPass partner a three-way arrangement was easy to broker.
As future municipal and citywide networks using Tropos equipment get deployed, iPass will have to form a partnership with the underlying providers of each network. "Most municipalities don't do this themselves -- a number use existing service providers," says Bilodeau. "We'll work with them to provide enterprise roaming agreements."
Without referring to a specific city or provider, Bilodeau says iPass is already at work setting up those partnerships.
Pittsburgh is the first network of this scale that iPass is partnered with in the U.S., but it has existing partnerships with providers overseas doing citywide and hotzone deployments, such as The Cloud in the U.K.
Bilodeau says it's no surprise that the major population centers are where most of the business travel takes place, so look for iPass to try to partner with providers unwiring those cities in the future. He says that, with a customer base in the Fortune 1000, "we want to fully serve where they travel," and that "municipal Wi-Fi will be key to the validation of Wi-Fi as a broad, mainstream technology."
Pittsburgh's city council approved the plan to unwire the downtown area back in May. US Wireless is expected to open the service to use by any provider wishing to resell access. The formal launch is today, September 13, and the city has already signed up 500 users during a football promotion last week. The network is free to anyone with a cap of 512 Kbps, or users can pay $8 a day, $15 a month or $120 a year to get 1 Mbps download speed.

Nope, I did not made the tortellini. It will be in the list of I wanted to cook in our new kitchen.
I boiled the pasta according to the package direction. Saute chopped onions and garlic in olive oil, then I add the tortellini, salt and pepper to taste. I add the baby spinach after turning off the stove. Stir until the spinach are wilted, serve with romano cheese on top.
Furthermore, I just wanted to show off my new kitchen counter top. We could not afford the granite, and we asked our carpenter to just make us a counter top instead.

C. S. Lewis
The Screwtape Letters
C. S. Lewis
The Screwtape Letters
Release Date: 10/8/2013
LIST PRICE: $28.99 (you save $8.70)
Main description:
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a senior tempter in the service of "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation—and triumph over it—ever written.
Now, for the first time, The Screwtape Letters is presented with its full text alongside helpful annotations provided by Lewis enthusiast and dramatist Paul McCusker. The notes include literary, theological, and biographical information to enhance Lewis's core themes and demystify complex ideas. McCusker also guides readers to concepts and references from the beloved author's other treasured volumes to deepen and enrich this timeless classic. The annotated edition is the ultimate guide for understanding the heavenly truths buried in these epistles from below.
Review quote:
"Apparently this Oxford don and Cambridge professor is going to be around for a long time; he calls himself a dinosaur but he seems to speak to people where they are."
Review quote:
"C.S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way."
Review quote:
"Excellent, hard-hitting, challenging, provoking."
Review quote:
"This book is sparkling yet truly reverent, in fact a perfect joy, and should become a classic."
Short description/annotation:
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of C. S. Lewis's death, a special annotated edition of his Christian classic, The Screwtape Letters, with notes and excerpts from his other works that help illuminate this diabolical masterpiece.
Since its publication in 1942, The Screwtape Letters has sold millions of copies worldwide and is recognized as a milestone in the history of popular theology. A masterpiece of satire, it offers a sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, The Screwtape Letters comprises the correspondence of the worldly-wise devil Screwtape and his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man.
For the first time, The Screwtape Letters will be presented in full-text accompanied by helpful annotations in a striking two-color format. These annotations will give fans a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the popular book, providing background information, explanations of terms, historical significance, and excerpts from Lewis's other works that more fully explain the ideas in this volume.
For both expert Lewis fans and casual readers, The Screwtape Letters: Annotated Edition will be a beautiful and insightful guide to a beloved classic.

In its recent look back on the first ten years of the century, Time Magazine proclaimed the period to be "the decade from hell." The editors made their case based on what they saw as the signature events of the last ten years, notably the ravages of terrorism, failed wars, and a global financial crisis. Taken together, these factors produced an era that Time is convinced will be remembered as one of the low points in our history. As the media hates to dwell on the negative, the commentary was rife with notes of optimism about pending recovery. It could hardly be accidental that in the very next issue, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke was named "Man of the Year" for his supposedly Herculean efforts to keep the economy afloat as we departed the Naughty Aughties. Although Time takes pains that to point out that the "Person of the Year" honor reflects impact rather than adulation, its profile of the Chairman was triumphant. Even if you believe the "survived the worst/turned the corner" narrative offered by Time, it still should strike anyone as ironic that Chairman Bernanke, a chief architect of the economic problems that surfaced in 2007, should be held in such high esteem.

Submarined in an "update" on the "status" of Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE), the White House quietly announced on Christmas Eve that, instead of just pumping in hundreds of billions of dollars, its support for the GSEs' damaged Hindenburg-sized balance sheets would be unlimited for the next three years.

As business owners undergo the yearly ritual of passing through eye-popping health insurance premium increases to their employees, it's easy to understand why any attempt at health insurance reform would be met with some degree of hope. Unfortunately, President Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress are about to take a very bad system and make it unimaginably worse. While ramming their new legislation through Congress, the Democrats have taken great pains to point out that they do not intend to "socialize medicine." But make no mistake, that's where we're headed. Even if some naïve centrists believe that their efforts have denied the Left a total victory, the practical implications of the current legislation sow the seeds for complete capitulation. [more]

Although Barack Obama has refrained, at least for now, from delivering triumphant speeches in a naval flight suit, there is nevertheless a strong tone of accomplishment emanating from the President and his deputies. Over the weekend, top White House economic adviser Lawrence Summers even pronounced that the recession is now over. Without hedging his bets, Summers declared that thanks to the Obama Administration's wise stewardship, economic stimuli, and emergency bailouts, another Great Depression, set up by the prior Administration, had been narrowly averted. Summers saw no impediments to the return of sustainable growth. He may as well have delivered these remarks from the deck of an aircraft carrier. [more]

In keeping with the idea that children are our greatest resource and the greatest investment we can make is an investment in our children (yes, I'm stretching a bit to keep this "investment-related"), and also in the spirit of Foolanthropy 2009, I wanted to ask my fellow Fools a question that I probably otherwise wouldn't have. I hoped perhaps someone had a similar experience of their own or knew someone else who did. Plus with it being a weekend and Fools likely having more time to contribute without the markets being open, thought it was the best time to post this. [more]

An announced crowd of 62,315 saw the Lions rally in the final seconds to beat the St. Louis Rams 27-23.
The next-largest crowd was 61,877 on Sept. 11, 2005, for a 17-3 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
Ford Field seats 65,000.
By contrast, the final opener at the 80,311-seat Pontiac Silverdome saw 77,765 in attendance for Detroit's last season opener there. That was a 35-0 Monday Night Football loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 8, 2001 – the second game after the 9-11 attacks. The Lions had an 0-2 record coming into the game and finished 2-14.
The following season, $500-million Ford Field opened downtown.
The increase of 2,275 fans on Sunday over last year's opener meant $291,768 in additional revenue for the Lions.
A single fan is worth $128.25 per game to Detroit, according to a number based on a formula published by Chicago-based sports research firm Team Marketing Report. The report's annual Fan Cost Index (FCI), published last week for the 2012 season, has the league-wide FCI average at $147.86 for an individual.
The calculation is derived by a simple formula: A fan at Ford Field buys a ticket at $67.60 (the average price), a beer for $8.50, a pop for $5.50, a hot dog for $5.75, parking for $11, a program for $5 and a hat for $25.
So, if the Lions average 2,275 additional fans over 2012's eight home games, that translates into an additional $2.3 million in revenue on the season – important money for a team estimated last week by Forbes.com to have lost $4.6 million in operating income for the 2011 season, on revenue of $231 million. It defines operating income as interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The Lions' average ticket price of $67.60 this season is 19th in the 32-team NFL and an 8.3 percent increase over 2011. The league average is $78.38 per ticket. At the high end was, of course, the Dallas Cowboys at $110.20. At the bottom was Jacksonville at $59.54.
Attendance numbers at most major league pro sports events are the number of tickets sold or distributed rather than the number of bodies through the gate. The gate number often is smaller than tickets sold because fans will opt to not bother to see a losing team or miss the game because of illness or other reasons.
Sunday's game likely showed a fractional difference between gate and tickets sold. Fan anticipation is strong after Detroit went 10-6 and made the playoffs in 2011 for the first time since 1999.
Detroit is 6-5 in openers at Ford Field, and the team has begun the season at home just four times in those 11 seasons.
Here are the past home opener results for the Lions at Ford Field, with results and what number on the schedule the game was:
• Sept. 22, 2002: 61,505 (37-31 loss to Green Bay, third game)
• Sept. 7, 2003: 60,691 (42-24 win over Arizona, first game)
• Sept. 19, 2004: 61,465 (28-16 win over Houston, second game)
• Sept. 11, 2005: 61,877 (17-3 win over Green Bay, first game)
• Sept. 10, 2006: 60,535 (9-6 loss to Seattle, first game)
• Sept. 16, 2007: 61,771 (20-17 OT win over Minnesota, second game)
• Sept. 14, 2008: 60,285 (48-25 loss to Green Bay, second game)
• Sept. 20, 2009: 56,269 (27-13 loss to Minnesota, second game)
• Sept. 19, 2010: 56,688 (35-32 loss to Philadelphia, second game)
• Sept. 18, 2011: 60,040 (48-3 win over Kansas City, second game)
• Sept. 9, 2012: 62,315 (27-23 win over St. Louis, first game)
Put away your Shaun Hill jerseys
Calm down. The $72 million invested by the Lions in Stafford is not a bad deal.
He's the sort of quarterback, like John Elway and Brett Favre, that's going to use his strong arm to force balls when he shouldn't, and the Rams had an entire off-season to prepare for Detroit's offense. Some of those throws will be amazing touchdowns. Some will be awful turnovers.
What is most telling about Stafford is that he led a nine-play, 80-yard drive in the game's final minutes, culminating with a 5-yard check-down touchdown pass to running back Kevin Smith to win the game.
That's why Stafford is paid so much. Not to put up pretty numbers, which he did last season (and hopefully will again for my fantasy football team), but to win games. Victories are the ultimate metric for quarterbacks, and those who can pull them out after 58 minutes of mediocre play are the guys who get the rings.
He's largely passed out of living memory, but Detroit's Bobby Layne – the man conventional wisdom says is the Lions' last great quarterback – was an awful passer by today's standards.
Layne completed less than half of his passes in nine seasons in Detroit, and he threw 142 interceptions versus 118 touchdowns. His career quarterback rating was an awful 63.7 -- worse than Joey Harrington's 69.4, Scott Mitchell's 75.3 and Rodney Peete's 73.3.
But Layne was 53-29-2 in the 85 games he started as a Lion, and he won championships in 1952, 1953 and 1957.
Coming into this season, Stafford's rating is 84.7. Sunday was his seventh career game-winning drive, in 30 starts.
