Experienced Speeding and Reckless Driving Lawyer in Michigan
We offer assertive, practical defense for people accused of a wide range of traffic violations. Under many circumstances, a conviction or finding of responsibility for a civil infraction costs far more than effective legal counsel. Rather than waiting and worrying, or just paying the traffic ticket, contact us at Baird and Zulakis, P.C., today.
Attorney George Zulakis has been handling traffic offenses and tickets across the spectrum of Michigan law for more than 30 years. He is well equipped to understand your concerns, assess all options, and fight to defend your driver's license, your freedom and finances, and your record.
Strategies and Action Aligned With Your Charges, Goals and Concerns
For most people in the area near Lansing and our office in Okemos, a driver's license is essential and a clean record is extremely important. We defend men, women and young people charged with the most serious driving offenses - as well as those with traffic tickets who need representation aimed at avoiding license suspension or revocation, or increased insurance costs.
Our experience extends to cases of:
- Drunk driving, usually charged as operating while intoxicated (OWI), but sometimes called DUI, DWI or OUI - as well as involuntary manslaughter, felonious driving, and similar charges arising from a fatal or injury-causing accident
- Driving on a suspended or revoked driver's license
- Reckless driving, hit-and-run or leaving the scene, failure to report an accident, and driving without insurance or proof of insurance
- Single or multiple offenses such as speeding, improper turns, and other moving violations that yield traffic tickets - but also pose a threat to your standard or commercial driver's license (CDL), employment status and insurance rates
- Alcohol and drug-related charges that can impact your driving privileges or your status as a student at Michigan State or any other area school
We take traffic offenses and what you have at stake very seriously, and you can count on honest counsel covering your legal options. Taking potential consequences and after-effects too lightly - even in a civil traffic matter - is a common mistake we want to help you avoid.

Spunkdesigns takes pride in providing their customers with items that are cute and unique at very affordable prices. Their products are best for gifts, party giveaways, and more.
They go crazy over adorably cute items, and fall-in-love with stuffs that have the most dainty and unique designs. They enjoy exploring the world for peculiar and fun products, and find it utterly fulfilling to be able to buy and sell it at the most affordable prices. They love hearing you get giddy-excited over our stuff because that's how they feel too! Think of them as your shopping buddy who squeals with you over the to-die-for-its-perfect-for-me shoes by the window display.
Working with Ms Tammy for the third time since 2011 was another grand opportunity. To be able to design her stand alone website after Multiply.com's shutdown, was something worth the effort – from fun discussions to funnier back-end tutorials. Today, her Spunkdesigns online shop is spunkier than ever.
Work: Web Design and Development, E-commerce integration | Role: Web and Graphic Designer, Web Consultant
* * *
Web Design and Development
I have built the Spunkdesigns site based on the Multiply.com platform and essentially the design is what most of their clients are very familiar with. More so, the navigation of the site plays a major role in user interactivity in the site and it is quite important to retain all of these elements despite transferring into a self-hosted content management system.
Ms Tammy and I both agreed that we will still use the same format and the same design unless of course I could come up with something similar but a little bit different. In the end, we still reverted back to the previous design as not to confuse the customers and give them that very same look and feel that they once interacted in the Multiply.com environment.
Above are two studies that show a little difference on the central navigation. The side bar and the product tiles were still being worked out at that point in time. Grey was not really an appropriate color here.
The goal is to create a site that could stand on its own as both a brochure type website and as well as cater to online shoppers. This led me to integrating an e-commerce system to the site without disrupting the look and feel that the Spunkdesigns' loyal customers are already accustomed to. This gave me a very limited area to show the cart and other elements of an e-commerce platform.
E-commerce Integration
Well, because the useful areas are the only areas present in the design, I have made up my mind and decided to place every important element of usability in the left sidebar and the majority of the product selections are found on the right side. I guess that will be easier in terms of looking for an item, selecting an item, and actually purchasing an item.
The sidebar holds all the necessary navigation, buttons, and essentially, the basket or cart information every buyer needs. Sifting through the products will then be easier because the categories are all laid there for that sole purpose.
On the back-end, I was able to help out Ms Tammy in terms of running the site by herself. This includes adding a product, adding photos, adding text, creating categories, creating discount coupons and other stuff needed to make an e-commerce site function the way that its supposed to.
I think one of the most important aspects of having an e-commerce site is really the basic knowledge of the administrator in terms of running it. Without that knowledge, everything will simply be useless. That is why I really exert a lot of effort in imparting a lot of my knowledge to my clients. Their goals will never be met without a single idea of how their site functions.

It will soon be Easter, but it's still full-on winter in Scotland's mountains. That's the message behind a joint statement released today by the Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS) and the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) which encourages walkers and climbers to take sensible precautions. The warning comes following a recent spate of accidents on the hills, and the wall-to-wall media coverage that has accompanied them.
The MCofS and BMC advise that climbers and hill walkers need to be realistic about the seriousness of the Scottish mountains, and of the need to match knowledge and experience to mountaineering objectives.
This Easter warning is being issued, they say, because:
- Easter in Scotland is popular with groups travelling from further afield
- Easter is quite early this year
- The current winter conditions could continue through and beyond the Easter weekend
Many of this winter's accidents have been related to avalanches, so avalanche awareness should be a key component of planning a trip to the mountains over the Easter holiday period say the MCofS and BMC.
MCofS President Brian Linington said:
'There are always more visitors to Scottish mountains at Easter and Whitsun and we urge them to act upon this advice. Many are keen to get to grips with the mountains, but the pattern when I was part of the Skye Mountain Rescue Team was for a high number of incidents at Easter. This was due to a number of factors, including loose holds after winter ice had loosened everything up, together with very icy old snow patches in critical shaded spots. Both factors caused fatalities in the Cuillin at Easter.'
BMC Deputy CEO Nick Colton added:
'The mountains of Scotland are glorious places to walk and climb. Go prepared, plan and heed the advice that is available. Remember conditions can change quickly and you may need to adjust those plans and expectations accordingly. Enjoy the challenges and spectacular scenery that Scottish hills have to offer but, most importantly, get back down safely.'
Anyone heading to the Scottish mountains at Easter is being encouraged to give serious consideration to the following ten-point checklist:
1. Check the mountain weather and avalanche forecasts [where applicable - Ed.].
2. Follow the MCofS on Twitter and Facebook, and check their "Something for the weekend" safety tips on Fridays and Saturdays. These messages warn of likely hazards over the coming weekend.
3. Be realistic about your ability to interpret and act upon weather and avalanche forecasts.
4. Be prepared to lower your expectations if weather, visibility and pace dictate.
5. Allow for the remoteness of many Scottish mountains.
6. Plan routes carefully and consider likely hazards like avalanche-prone slopes, river crossings and steep cliff faces.
7. Read the Winter Safety pages on the MCofS website and watch the Ice Axe Self Arrest video on the MCofS YouTube channel.
8. Day length increases at this time of year, but it is still easy to be caught out after dark. Everyone in a group should carry a head torch and spare set of batteries or a spare head torch with new batteries.
9. Be aware of everyone else in your group and don't allow your group to get separated in poor visibility.
10. Never be afraid to turn back. The most important objective of a day in the mountains is for there to be more days in the mountains in the future.
The BMC runs training events and publishes good practice information to enable climbers, hill walkers and mountaineers to develop their skills. Read their 'Essential winter know-how' here.

Since my kids are learning French (something I can't take credit for in the least bit unless of course you count turning a Disney movie to the French track?), we might as well dress them up like little Parisians every once in awhile, eh?
I've discovered a new children's boutique that I am quite taken with to be honest. It's pricey but the sale rack is oh so reasonable. Truly.
Tonight I also discovered Olive Juice items on Ebay and the prices are pretty good there too.
Click here to head to the official website. Get ready to start "ooohing" and "ahhing". The clothing is soooo precious.

Once in a blue moon I read a story that is hopeful. This was it for me today.
I've begun tuning out to the political nonsense on TV. I don't hear it so much on radio probably because I refuse to listen to right-wing talking nutskies anymore. And there aren't many left-wing talking nutskies on radio left. In fact, there are very few middle-of-the-road talking nutskies either anymore, but if there were, I'd probably take a listen. I'm sick to death of extremists. On both sides.
It seems like this next Presidential election will NEVER come. I just want it over and done with. Of course, I only want it over and done with if MY guy wins. And you all know by now what that might be.
Anyway, I'm strolling thru my Sunday, doing Sunday things like laundry, putting things away, straightening up from the week that just ended, and getting down to doing some work-for-pay. Because gawd-knows, after losing countless dollars in my retirement accounts, I need all the pay I can muster up. Retirement may not come for quite some time. If ever!
Cheers, I think,

So it's Ada Lovelace Day, and while I was thinking of writing about Mary Anning (I like dinosaurs), that post got overtaken by events. Because only last week, a 14 year old girl was shot because she wanted to be a doctor.
The whole concept of this is almost beyond belief – no, scratch that, it's horribly believable. After all, this isn't the first time girls have been attacked because they dared to try and get an education. And while it's bad enough that women face a hard time working in STEM subjects (and in geek culture in general), the idea of teenagers being killed for having that ambition is just…
So let's celebrate Malala Yousafzai. She's fourteen and decided to speak out publicly about the Taliban's edict that girls shouldn't attend school in her home town of Swat in Pakistan, an edict that has lead to the destruction of 150 schools. Malala wrote a blog about all this for the BBC, and thanks to this and her activism (which has lead to her being awarded a number of peace prizes), she was shot by the Taliban last Tuesday.
She wanted to be a doctor.
Now she wants to be a politician to help fight for those other girls who want to become doctors, or engineers or programmers or whatever. And yes, that's a noble and necessary goal, but isn't it horrific that the world loses a doctor because the fight to see girls receive a decent education is so necessary?
Now I know that I'm a white western male, and am therefore up to my eyeballs in privilege, but it seems ridiculous that we're marginalizing and persecuting the ambitions of around half the world's young people. Look at all the talent and passion humanity is squandering because people like Malala not only receive a lack of encouragement but are shot at. Yesterday was Blog Action Day, and it was all about 'The Power of We', about how working together and forging communities can change the world. Well, this is the flipside – disenfranchised teenagers and dreams and ambitions being destroyed by extremists. And yes, we can demonise and hate those extremists, but 150 schools don't get destroyed, women don't get paid less, without some level of tacit approval from everyone else. That should be a wake-up call; for the sake of young people like Malala, let's hope it is.
(Okay, so I got a bit political this year. For a less politicized response to ALD, here's my post from last year…)

Intriguing plot full of affection for each other episodes. And the ending of the film allow viewers to stay for a long time under the influence of view. It should be said about the musical number, which also fits into the situation in the ekrane.Krome other things, here is an example of a true male friendship, as teammate Sean is ready to go with him into the fire and into the water.

All of the schools saw lots of great participation in the BCE Read-a-thon this year. At Roosevelt, the kids were competing to be the top reader in their class every day and win a space explorer rubber duck. Four of the classes met the goal of 100% participation – way to go!
Even though the kids have finished tracking their minutes for the BCE Read-a-thon, there's still time to sponsor a reader. Donations can be made online, or placed in the BCE Read-a-thon envelope and returned to school by February 3. All donations are tax-deductible and will be counted as part of your annual contribution to BCE.

Well, hey there!
I thought some of you who once subscribed to this blog might possibly be interested in reading something I wrote. It's a Twilight fanfic. Don't laugh! Okay, well, you can laugh.
But seriously.
Imagine if Twilight had been written for grown ups, by me? You might like it then, right? Maybe? Perhaps?
I think you should find out for yourself!
You can check this out as a blog post over at Twitarded. Or you can visit the story as it unfolds at its own subdomain here.
And if you are a big fan of Twilight and the rest of the series, and are over the age of 18? You may really like it quite a bit. And if you are over the age of 25? You might like it even more. And if you're older than that but are Twilight obsessed? This fic's for you.
And if you do stop by to read at those other places? Please, please say hello and let me know you came from SL.
hearts and puffy things to you,

Here and not here.
I know, I know. You may think Mygdala March is no more, given my lack of logins since the kids were born in January. And I can understand that. But I want to assure you, Myg is still very much alive. It's just that I've morphed my online personality to fit a bit more with my first life, or real life, or whatever you want to call it, and I may choose, "Holy shit I have twin boys and I'm getting no sleep but life is awesome" life.
I read this short but thought provoking piece, "Good as Dead" by Tateru Nino about a month ago about what happens when someone disappears from their virtual world, and I felt so bad I almost posted. Almost. The reason I didn't was really a matter of how much time and energy I've got these days, which is next to none, and what little of it there is, is spent with them:
Can you blame me?
Then most of my spare time, of which there is, actually, none, I am asleep. Because folks, it's been over 5 months now and the babies still aren't getting through the night without getting up at least once. Between two kids, that makes for one spotty night of slumber. Which, ironically, reminds me of the first several months of Mygdala March's entrance into Second Life.
Funny the parallels there. Back in November 2006 I gave birth to my online self, Myg. The nurturing of that self took a tremendous amount of time and energy, and was also a labor of love. It was a time of play and exploration and creation and possibility, which is what drove me to spend hours upon hours in world, and no, I don't regret a minute of it. I love Second Life. I love Topgol and the places we've created there. I love and miss you, my digital companions. I dare say I will be back, but I can't say when. When I learn to better manage my time, I suppose. When the kids sleep through the night and take regular naps, perhaps.
Some of you have an interest in my life outside of Second Life, and I've been able to keep in touch. If you are at all interested in the whole Myg, you're invited to follow me at Wisermom.org, where I blog mostly about the "holy shit" experience of being a new mom. You can also connect with me on Plurk or on Twitter, which I've re-embraced along with Oprah. No, I haven't literally embraced Oprah, nor her talk show.
Some of you aren't interested in my life outside of Second Life, and hey, that's alright too. I totally understand that. This started out as a Second Life blog, and I do intend to keep it that way. But unlike real life, or first life, or whatever you like to call it, my Second Life can wait a little while.
But those adorable little monkeys in diapers and onesies in that photo up there? They don't do "wait."
I can't imagine where they got that quality from, either.No comments
Cruel facts of pregnancy
They call it "pelvic rest" but it means orgasms are right out too.
I can't have any – and I mean any type or variety of sexual activity – because it can start contractions and my risk for preterm labor is too high right now. Did you know nipple stimulation can start contractions? I didn't. Pity me, pity my husband. Because after the kids get here, well, anyway I don't want to think about that right now.
I didn't take this photo to talk to you all about my pathetic lack of sex, actually. I took it because I noticed that this tattoo (DaVinci) from Truth Hawks actually has a fetus on the belly. Ha! But looking at this picture made me think of sex. Well, looking at the wall makes me think of sex right now.
Pregnancy, nature's miracle, is a cruel mistress of irony, indeed.No comments
Is it February yet?
I can promise you, if I make it to February with these two turkeys in the oven we'll all be impressed. The last couple of weeks have been a little more exciting than you'd like a twin pregnancy to be, what with a couple of hospital stays due to some preterm labor symptoms. I'm not and wasn't, by the way, in labor. Thank god. But I was in the hospital, and I am on strict bedrest now until, well, until the boys are here. If all goes well, they're not going to get here for another 10 weeks. If it goes decently, it'll be another 7. A lifetime and an unconscious blink, all at once.
But guess what? Second Life turns out to be the PERFECT thing to do when you have hours upon hours of time where you can't do anything but sit your ass in one place!
So over the past few days I have renewed my obsession with building things. I mean all day long staring at the laggy assed screen obsession. Like, trying to keep myself out of SL right now long enough to write this post obsession. Mostly I've been making furniture for our loft in Topgol, hopefully that will be tweaked for the store I wanted to open way back in the way back. This has forced me to try to relearn how to make poses for the furniture (hellloo Qavimator and thanks Ana Lutetia for saving my poor head from being cracked open on the corner of my headboard from repeated banging. Not the good kind, either.)
The pose Alex and I are in up there is not of my making – I am nowhere close to that talented. It's one of the Adore poses by Torrid Midnight and you can grab it at Torridwear. Of course, it's a much sexier pose if the two avatars are, say, not pregnant and not grimacing.
And by the way, speaking of Alex, you should all go read his piece on identity. It's rather good and makes you think. That is to say, it's good if you like to think.
Hey! I might start posting regularly here again!
Seriously, Second Life might be saving my brain from serious stir craziness. And that just rocks.No comments
Happy Stuffed Fowl Day
Here in the state's it's Thanksgiving, and we'll all celebrate by buying the largest damned turkey we can carry without back support and serving it up for our friends and folks. Then we'll fall asleep in front of the television, feeling slightly ill from way too much food and drink. When we wake up, we'll do it again for either dinner or a late night snack, and fall asleep plumped up and bloated. It's the American way.
There are a number of things about this pic that are fiction. First of all, I am on strict bedrest now after a short stint in the hospital (I'm fine, the babies are fine too), so I won't be serving Alex any damned bird. Second of all, even if I wasn't, I can't cook a turkey anymore than it could cook me. Alex is the birdman. I do the salads, soups and sauces. And lastly, I do not own a Thanksgiving dress, but rest assured if I did, it would be orange and I would probably layer it over something totally inappropriately matched, such as the grey and black striped shirt I have on here.
On that note, I hope you all have a totally wonderful day with loved ones, and may you sleep soundly through every commercial!No comments
Wiggle room
Well, the rumors are true. I, Mygdala March, am going to be somebody's mother.
Don't laugh!
It's perfectly true, and I'm talking about REAL LIFE knocked up, not just a wacky avatar role play thing with gruesome prim babies. Nothing against wacky avatar role play stuff, seriously. It would be really great if I could relegate my tremendous back pain to the realm of the digital, but sadly all the discomfort that goes along with the condition is mine in the physical world as well.
Actually to be accurate, I'm going to be two somebodies' moms. Wow – what's the correct grammatical structure of a sentence like that? In any case, that means I'm having twins. Twin boys.
They should be here in February, but because they are twins it's hard to predict exactly when. Depends on how much space they have in there I think. (And by the way, if you're interested in following the gritty real world adventures of my pregnancy, you are welcome to do so at http://wisermom.org.)
I had to write something about my new shape – the prygnant Myg, because in the past I've been rather vocal about NOT having a SL shape that was closer to a RL shape. I summed it up this way:
You are you every day. Don't you want a chance to be someone, well, different? In some way?
Well guess what was happening? I would log in and see myself in this shape that was so far off from the real one I have been grappling with, it didn't feel like me anymore. I had lost my attachment to it, if that makes sense. Since I've been pregnant I don't spend much time in SL anymore. I think reality these days has been fairly engrossing, and I've not had much left over for SL. So when I do go in, it's usually just to see people I want to see. It suddenly became important to me to share what was going on in my real world with my friends in the virtual world. And it became necessary for me to see some representation of that reality on the screen in front of me.
So, there you have it. And now I get it. SL can and should be a lot of things to a lot of people, and what it is can change for the same person over time, as it has for me. Maybe I'll remember that in the future and keep my mouth shut before making sweeping generalizations about what SL should be.
But I doubt it! After all, I'm still Myg. I'm just, you know, pregnant!No comments
I can't remember ever feeling quite this good about the world. Thanks America!No comments
My brain is different. My body is different. The light is brighter. The night is darker. Color is a distant fire from an indifferent circus. The future is a gaping nowhere and the past is a rat gnawing its way through a blanket of resolution woven from words and tears and many years.
I find I am still here. Even when I feel like I'm not.No comments

Make nutrition labels work for you
URBANA, Ill. – Whether you are trying to lose weight, reduce sodium, or increase your vitamin D intake, you are probably accustomed to studying the nutrition facts labels on the foods you buy. Soon, however, the label will have a new look, as mandated by the Food and Drug Administration. Three nutrition experts from the University of Illinois gathered recently to discuss the changes.
"Many of the changes with the new nutrition facts panel are driven by aesthetics and design," says assistant professor of agricultural and consumer economics Brenna Ellison. She explains that larger and bolder fonts will be used to place greater emphasis on number of calories per serving and servings per container.
Another big change will be the way that serving sizes are calculated. "In the past, serving sizes were much smaller than what a person would normally eat," Ellison notes. For example, there are actually four servings in that tiny pint of ice cream in your freezer, according to current labeling standards. Anna Arthur, assistant professor of food science and human nutrition, says the new label will reflect more realistic serving sizes.
The new label will also specify the amount of added sugar, whereas current labels lump naturally occurring sugars together with added sugars. "Ice cream contains natural sugar called lactose. In addition, there will be added sugars to enhance the flavor," Arthur says.
The discussion was captured in a podcast and a Twitter chat, as part of the #askACES series hosted once a month by the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at U of I. During the chat, participants asked the experts a wide range of questions about the new label, and about nutrition labeling in general.
Jennifer McCaffrey, assistant dean of family and consumer science for U of I Extension, fielded a question about teaching kids to pay attention to food labels. McCaffrey suggested getting kids to compare similar products side by side, such as flavored versus unflavored milk.
New labels will roll out by July, 2018, so there is plenty of time to do your research on the new design. For starters, listen to the podcast and search #askACES on Twitter.

text: FYI 11.24.04 Published on November 24, 2004. Chrysler Group is talking to Warner Bros. Pictures about a possible deal tied to its big-screen adaptation of The Dukes of Hazard, due for release sometime next year, said Julie Roehm, director of marketing communications for the Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler brands. Despite the return of the TV show's orange 1969 Dodge Charger, nicknamed the General Lee, a deal would be a no-brainer for Chrysler, which has already announced it will bring back the Charger muscle car next year as a 2006 model sedan. The show's Daisy Duke character (to be played by Jessica Simpson in the film) drove a Jeep in the show, while Uncle Jessie (Willie Nelson) is known for his truck, both of which would provide Chrysler with prominent placement opportunities. In the series, however, the pickup was a 1970s Ford F-series. Have a news tip? Contact the editor: Marc Graser, 323-370-2438 | email@example.com Most Popular In this article: Madison+Vine: FYI

The following are key concepts that you should familiarize yourself with before digging into the remainder of the help topics. These concepts will provide helpful.
Inventory Data Fields
Custom Assemblies
An assembly is a grouping of items in your inventory that make up a new inventory item. The primary workflow here supports a configuration or BOM model in which you are able to recognize the use of inventory items in the production of a new item. The default cost of an assembly is made up of the cost of the items that are part of the assembly. When you tell mInventory that you have "built" the assembly you have the option of overriding the default cost. This allows you to account for work or other costs that may have been involved in the production process.
Updating Inventory Counts
As you can see from the data fields above, mInventory maintains several inventory levels for you. These levels are automatically updated based on things you do with an item (buy, sell, adjust, build). You can't just edit these levels directly. mInventory supports the following workflows to update inventory levels.
"Purchase Orders" - Use this workflow when you purchase inventory items from a vendor. This can be a wholesale/retail model or you could be purchasing raw materials that you transform into products using the Assemblies workflow described below.
"Manufacturing" - Use this workflow when your company manufactures products and you simply want to record how many of each item you made. In this workflow, you create items for each of your manufactured products and then acknowledge a production run to update item quantities/costs.
"Assembly Builds" - Use this workflow when an item in your inventory is made up of the combination of other inventory items. The Inventory Items screen has a table at the bottom that allows you to identify the components of an assembly. Companies that purchase products and transform them into other products typically use this workflow.
"Manual Adjustments" - Adjustments are changes that are made to inventory levels because of some issue with a particular item. These can be due to theft, damage, unexpected receipts or some other reason. These are not frequently used and are not meant as a way to receive stock into inventory.
Inventory Costing (LIFO/FIFO/Last Cost/Average Cost)
There are a handful of generally accepted methods to value inventory. These are:
FIFO Costing – This is the First-In, First-Out inventory method. In this model the first item that was received into inventory is the first item that is sold. This is typically used for perishable goods that have a limited shelf life. The actual cost if each item is recorded and used when calculating inventory cost or cost of goods sold.
LIFO Costing – This is the Last-In, First-Out inventory method. In this model it really doesn't matter which order the items are received and sold. A good example here is a bin of screws at a hardware store. They are all the same and typically the bin of screws is refilled by adding new screws on top of existing. The actual cost if each item is recorded and used when calculating inventory cost or cost of goods sold.
Average Cost – This model can be used with both FIFO and LIFO tracking but inventory cost is handled differently. For each item, an average cost is calculated based on historic purchases. When an item is valued or sold, this average cost is used.
Last Cost – Similar to average cost, but the last purchase price of the inventory item is used instead.
mInventory supports Last Cost and Average Cost methods of inventory cost accounting. We recommend that you use Average Cost as it better represents the true cost of an item. You can configure whether the program uses Average Cost or Last Cost in the preferences screen.
Inventory History
You can quickly get a view of what has taken place with respect to an inventory item by reviewing the history tab on the inventory item screen. Here you will see an historic view of all purchases, sales, adjustments, builds, etc… This comes in handy if you are troubleshooting inventory levels.
Locked Items
Once you begin purchasing and selling an inventory item you are prohibited from making certain changes to the item. This is to protect the integrity of the data and ensure that the item is treated consistently. This lock is around the components. You cannot add, delete or change components on an item that has been purchased, built, adjusted or sold. If you find that you need to do this, you should duplicate the item and make the changes on the new item. Make sure that you give this new item a new item number to differentiate it from the original.

A mum and dad have been found guilty of 'unsubstantiated' child neglect for allowing their 10-year-old and six-year-old kids walk home from the park alone.
Parents Danielle and Alexander Meitiv believe in a 'free-range' approach to raising their children to foster their independence.
But they were arrested when police found their children Rafi, 10 and Dvora, six, wandering the streets in Silver Spring, Maryland, on their own.
The couple were hauled before a judge by Child Protective Services and found guilty of 'unsubstantiated child neglect'.
This isn't a criminal charge but it means the couple's case will be kept on file and will likely lead to criminal charges if their children are found unaccompanied by an adult again.
It usually comes when the CPS has deemed parents to have neglected their children, but has insufficient information or witnesses to press charges or take action.
However, Danielle and Alexander Meitiv say they will continue to bring up their own children as they see fit - whatever the consequences.
Danielle told the Washington Post: "We don't feel it was appropriate for an investigation to start, much less conclude that we are responsible for some form of child neglect.
"What will happen next time? We don't know if we will get caught in this Kafkaesque loop again."
The saga began last December when police picked up Rafi and Dvora as they waked home from the park after a member of the public reported it.
Their parents told police they often let their children walk on their own and that the kids knew the area well.
Danielle said: "We're just doing what our parents did. It was considered perfectly normal just one generation ago."
The Meitivs describe themselves as 'free-range parents' who encourage their two children to take journeys without supervision in order to build confidence and teach them about the outside world.
They give their kids a card to carry around that reads; "I'm not lost. I'm a free range kid."
But on the day police picked them up, they had left them at home.

John McDermott reflects on FAYC defeat
31 January 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
John McDermott believes Fulham could go all the way in this season's FA Youth Cup after our fourth round defeat to the Cottagers.
A Patrick Roberts hat-trick sealed Fulham's progress into the next round, Josh Onomah and Nathan Oduwa having scored for us in Wednesday night's 3-2 reverse at Dagenham & Redbridge.
After the game, Academy Manager John was in philosophical mood – claiming he felt we could have done better at both ends of the pitch.
"We spoke before the game about how it was going to be tough," John reflected. "Fulham are a very good side, I think they'll be strong contenders to win it (the FA Youth Cup) and credit to them – they had their opportunities and they scored them.
"I think they were a little bit more ruthless in the penalty box than we were. We were quite pleasing on the eye in a lot of things that we did but I thought we should probably have done a little bit better, both scoring and in the goals that we conceded.
"We controlled a lot of the second half but in terms of how we went about our business I thought we were honest, we tried to play in the way that we want to play, but sadly we were maybe just a little bit lightweight in both penalty boxes and it's something that we'll be looking to put right against Norwich on Saturday."
John emphasised the importance of developing players' abilities at youth level – and he held up Nabil Bentaleb as a shining example of how our youngsters can use Academy matches as a springboard into senior football.
"Last year Nabil played in the FA Youth Cup and he's playing in the first team this year," John added. "Obviously you want to win leagues and trophies and cups and tournaments, but ultimately it's about which of those players tonight is going to actually make that step that Nabil's made."

WASHINGTON, July 19, 2010. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is not making adequate achievements in including minorities and women, according to David Honig, president and executive director of the Minority Media & Telecom Council (MMTC). As a matter of fact, he says market barriers and lack of opportunity are decreasing minority involvement in the broadband, telecom, and media industries.
At the Eighth Annual Access to Capital and Telecommunications Policy Conference, Honig presented a "report card" for the state of social justice in broadband. He said that America's most important industries, which certainly include broadband, should reflect the social landscape of the country itself. The key indicators of minority broadband involvement – diversity of ownership, diversity in industry, and closing the digital divide – all show a net loss in the last few years.
Honig said the MMTC had been involved and active in increasing minority participation in broadband, but said "We prevented a disaster from turning into a catastrophe." He said entrepreneurs have one of the hardest occupations, and that the MMTC should focus on finding and calling out market barriers that make it even more difficult for minorities to enter the broadband industry.
For the first year in quite some time, the FCC has made no decisions concerning equal employment opportunities. Honig said the FCC has bright and well-meaning personnel, but they are too passive. In 2007, the FCC passed a ruling that made advertisement discrimination illegal. However, he said the FCC has yet to appoint someone to oversee this rule, and said "In almost three years the FCC has not had compliance to the first civil rights ruling since the '70s, and the first one passed without opposition."
He also said that the FCC has a ruling that should require cable companies to reach out to minorities and women, which has not happened.
Honig said the goals of MMTC are to build institutions, support the enforcement of the National Broadband Plan, and to organize and become more active in bringing about change through blogging and lobbying.
Overall, he said they want to avoid the struggles minorities faced when the country transitioned from agricultural to industrial systems as the transition from industrial to digital industry happens. In 2042, when the majority of the nation is expected to be made up of current minorities, he does not want people to look back on this time and wonder why they were not more active in increasing diversity in broadband.

NORWICH The New York Council of Mayors warned its membership last week that 2011 pension contribution rate increases would be dramatic.
New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli released increases in the range of 11.9 percent of payroll for non-uniformed employees (up from 7.4 percent in 2010) and 18.2 percent for police and fire (up from 15.1 percent in 2010).
These dramatic increases are attributable to the weakened economy and the resulting declines in the Common Retirement Fund, which lost 26.3 percent of its value for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, said Peter Baynes, executive director, New York Council of Mayors (NYCOM).

Benefis Peace Hospice
The goal of Benefis Peace Hospice is to provide compassionate care for the terminally ill patient and his or her family in such a way as to bring comfort to their home environment. Hospice care neither hastens death nor prolongs life. The caregivers support the ill person and his or her family during the final stage of life.
Hospice care emphasizes symptom management and pain control. Patients and family alike are treated in a holistic manner and encouraged to live life fully. The patient care team consists of a physician, nurse, social worker, dietitian, respite worker, chaplain and home healthcare aides. Others caregivers include the medical director, physical therapist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, pharmacist, medical equipment specialist and specially trained volunteers.
The services we provide are dedicated to do whatever is necessary to create a compassionate, comfortable and caring environment. These include regularly scheduled nursing visits, training family members in patient care, respite care, medical equipment and supplies, medication, and continuous nursing coverage in the home during an acute crisis. Additionally, we focus on the emotional aspect of well being by providing counseling, emotional and spiritual support as well as bereavement counseling.
Peace Hospice Residential Hospice Facility
What may be one of the most loving and wonderful places in the world opened in Great Falls, MT, in July 2002.
The Peace Hospice Residential Facility, at 2600 15th Ave. S., provides inpatient care in a home-like environment for patients who are experiencing a terminal illness and in need of 24-hour care. The facility provides 20 large private rooms with all the comforts of home. The patient rooms include a regular hospital bed, sofa bed, handicap accessible shower, closet, sink, microwave and refrigerator as well as a small patio area outside each room. The facility also includes a community kitchen, dining room, sun rooms at the end of each of the three wings, and several comfortable sitting rooms available for family visiting. A sunny atrium is located in the center of the building.
This special place operates on love because it was built with love. An anonymous gift totaling $7.1 million was given to Benefis Health System Foundation to build the inpatient hospice building and a nearby administrative office building and also to create a permanent endowment to ensure the program continues.
In 2012, Benefis Foundation raised more than $1.57 million through the Hospice Residential Expansion Campaign to add eight rooms to the facility, which originally was 12 rooms, along with an elevator to access badly needed storage space in the basement. Construction on the project began in September 2012, and the rooms were opened up to patients in July 2013.
We are so grateful to the many donors who made the dream of this expansion project come true. Thanks to you, dozens of additional hospice patients are able to spend their final days at the Hospice House each year, and there is no longer a need for a waiting list.

By Jack Shafer
When Nate Silver packed his FiveThirtyEight.com flag into a box this summer and trundled it from the New York Times, where it had flown for the last three years, for planting at ESPN, he cemented his status as one of the Marquee Brothers, that fraternity of overachieving reporters whose journalistic triumphs have inspired media outlets to grant them nation-state status inside the greater organization.
In exchange for a mountain of ESPN cash and the authority to hire a team of his own, Silver will now apply his statistical hoo-doo to every sporting event, political twist, weather record and market phenomena for which sufficient data has been assembled. In addition to running the sports numbers for ESPN on his own site, scheduled to launch January 1, Silver will also be performing political and polling analysis for the network's cousin, ABC News. "Sports might be a third of the content," he said about his site. "Politics might be a third."
Other brotherhood members include Ezra Klein, the lord of the Washington Post's Wonkblog; Walt Mossberg, perhaps the Ur-brother, whose Wall Street Journal column about personal tech birthed a conference business and more at All Things D; Andrew Ross Sorkin, the founder and boss of DealBook at the Times; Andrew Sullivan, whose AndrewSullivan.com crew has operated inside Time magazine, the Atlantic, the Daily Beast, and is now independent; the Freakonomics guys (economist Steven Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner), who were indie, set up shop at the Times, and went back to being indie, and the various sports stars, Peter King of Sports Illustrated, who captains The MMQB, and Bill Simmons, who does a slew of things for ESPN, including the aforementioned Grantland (founded 2011), The B.S. Report and TV. (Depending on how liberally you want to define the brotherhood, baseball writer Peter Gammons may also fit. He just launched Gammons Daily for TruMedia Networks.)
The rise of the Marquee Brothers is, as best as I can determine, unprecedented in American journalism. Journalism has traditionally been a portable art: A reporter can move his boxes to a new publication and file that day. Star columnists—Walter Lippmann, Heywood Broun, Westbrook Pegler and Drew Pearson in ancient times—regularly migrated to new papers or syndicates, or established broadcasting beachheads, as Walter Winchell famously did. Other syndicated columnists, such as Pearson and Jack Anderson ("Washington Merry-Go-Round") and Rowland Evans and Bob Novak, hired staffs and pursued their own editorial muses. Likewise, columnists and politicians have long been recruited to host cable news talk shows. But the semi-independent scribe working directly inside a news operation with a staff and brand of his own, and substantial autonomy from the remainder of the organization, appears to be a new thing.
"The Nate Silver analogue of the 1800s would have just started his own paper, because it was so cheap to start one," said Jonathan Ladd, a professor of government at Georgetown University and author of Why Americans Hate the Media and How it Matters.
The Marquee Brothers, like successful auteur film directors, can dictate terms to the people who would ordinarily be their bosses giving the orders. I imagine Klein has a special button on his custom keyboard to message "assignment decline" back to Post editors when they ask for his section to do a story he's not interested in. Like film directors, the Marquee Brothers have capitalized on the erosion of old, reliable brands and the unbundling of news caused by, among other things, the advent of the Internet.
When the Washington Post and CBS News played the starring roles, they could serve content to a pliant audience under the "sports," "business," "tech" and "politics and policy" rubrics. The authors and editors were valuable but easily replaceable cogs in the machine. But now, individual reporters and analysts possess new power to attract audiences and take audiences with them, as Silver recently demonstrated. Just as Stanley Kubrick devotees would watch any tracking-shot the master threw up on the screen, so too will some DealBook readers scarf down whatever the section has served today. Media consumption, if anything, is an habitual act.
The Marquee Brothers rake additional bucks via conferences, books, lectures, movies, TV, and more, signaling to the journalism profession that if you're a mere reporter or editor, you're doing it wrong. At Reuters, my bosses have been extending Felix Salmon's well-known brand with the Counterparties site, which he edits with Ryan McCarthy. A slew of other journalistic names could join the marquee tomorrow if only they were willing.
As Marc Tracy wrote this week in the New Republic, the New York Times could profit by giving David Carr (media) and Tara Parker-Pope (health) verticals and staffs of their own. If Michael Lewis and Malcolm Gladwell (who has promised to write for Silver) weren't already wealthy from writing bestselling books, they could be persuaded to run, respectively, a business and social science vertical. Paul Krugman, Mark Bittman, James Surowiecki, Dave Weigel, Tom Ricks, Jeff Rosen, Brian Stelter, David Wessel, Steve Coll and others could easily carry verticals with their star power if they wanted to accept the burden of being the boss. So could Glenn Greenwald — though I'm afraid he'd savage his staff on Twitter before launch day.
The first black member of the brotherhood may be Jason Whitlock, who is returning to ESPN to start "something along the lines of a black Grantland," as he puts it. But so far, I spot no sisters in the 'hood, unless Nikki Finke qualifies. Why exactly is that? Do not Jane Bryant Quinn, Xeni Jardin, Jane Mayer, Jackie MacMullan, Chrystia Freeland (my erstwhile Reuters boss), and other female journalists command sizable audiences that could go vertical? Am I missing something here? Is Oprah Winfrey the best example of a valuable and media talent who is also portable and female? And she's not even a journalist.
The brotherhood is thriving because the most enthusiastic consumers of news and analysis can't be satisfied with a generic product. They want the signature notes that journalists like Silver or Klein — and the journalists they hire — provide. They want gourmet meals from the master chef and his staff, not fast food from a fry cook. If you're a media executive and you crave this audience, here's the template: Identify an extraordinary but under-appreciated talent, one whose audience will make the trip to a new destination. Let that talent create a new site or new newspaper section for the audience. Let that talent (male or female) hire like-minded journalists to fill it. Let them do their best work.

One of the fundamental characteristics of cloud computing is rapid elasticity: resources such as server instances can appear and disappear rapidly.
Good IT management practice requires that we administer and monitor our resources independent from the provider of these resources. So we have services and assets on the one hand and asset administration and monitoring on the other hand. Asset administration often revolves around some kind of 'configuration management database CMDB'. The challenge in the cloud is that this database changes much more rapidly.
CMDBs are notoriously incomplete. With cloud computing this is likely to be worse. How can new tool functionality help?
In this post I want to give some examples and outline some basic features for this. My favourite way of doing this is taking a small example and then expand it to illustrate the concepts.
Take a website. Even if it is procured as a service rather than ran on company owned servers, it should be in the CMDB. Basic monitoring for it would check if the URL still responds. If it fails to respond in time, an alert is sent.
One way of extending this is to figure out what the 'adjacent' assets are. Examples include DNS records and nameservers, because these are essential for the correct delivery of service, as perceived by the users. Other examples are any associated third party content and content distribution networks.
How would this work? The asset management tool and the monitoring service are likely to be independent tools, so there could be some interaction where, driven by asset management policies, monitoring service rules are added as appropriate. I.e when you list a webserver in the CMDB it will be automatically added to the monitoring service, and the adjacent DNS assets are automatically added as well. This speeds up troubleshooting, as the monitoring service gives inside into the component that is failing.
Another situation is with auto-scaling servers. When load increases, auto-scaling automatically adds server instances. It would be nice if auto-scaling would also register the instance in the CMDB as well as with the monitoring service. In fact, the instance could do this itself, by way of a 'please monitor me' message.
Now if you think this is simple, please figure out what to do when server instances are stopped. What do you want to happen with the CMDB entries and the monitoring data? You don't want to delete it immediately.
Finally, turning things around, the CMDB should also contain the monitoring rules themselves. Remember they have configuration data, they cost money, so they are assets.

Alan Anderson Contract
This guy has been playing hard D and being really efficient. He's more than likely going to be resigned. If you were BC what contract would you give him?
Alan Anderson 9.0 PT .446 of 6.7 FG .800 of 1.8 FT .515 of 3.0 3P 1.9/0.6 RB 1.09 AS 0.18 BL 0.18 ST 1.18 TO 1.91 PF 23.7 MN 11/7 GS
Alan Anderson 11.3 PT .458 of 8.4 FG .714 of 2.0 FT .556 of 3.9 3P 2.0/0.3 RB 1.1 AS 0.3 BL 0.1 ST 1.4 TO 2.4 PF 29.2 MN 7/7 GS (last 7 games)
I'd giving him 4 year 10-12 million with with team options in year 2 and 3 and give him a player option in year 4.
i like the way he plays, but anything over the 1mil/year is overpaying him. He just another scrub playing decent minutes for a shitty team. and we as fans keep overvaluing these guys. no one had herd of this guy until 2 weeks ago.
The guy would be happy with a guaranted minimum contract next year
About $800k/year I think
He fills a need, this team needed a good shooting wing. Wouldn't mind giving him a contract under 3M per year
A 4-year deal? Are you kidding?
Like VanCity said, we overrate these kind of players all the time. They're just not that good. They're playing hard because they want a contract or for other teams to notice them. If they get a contract like that, you can very well see him playing like Joey Graham for the entirety of it.
Ex. See Jamario Moon, Sonny Weems
Have we lost our marbles? The only thing I'd offer this guy is a 1yr minimum contract and if he proves himself for a full season then talk more money.
Well my suggestion is essentially a 1 year deal... with 2 team options after that. Lock him up for 4 years for cheap while he's unproven, if it doesn't work out then don't bring him back. If it does work then we'll have him for longer but for cheap.
Weems was and is good. Triano was using him out of position.
2 years at 1.5mill he hasn't played enough to get more plain & simple.
but what about Ben Uzoh? I really like him. Provides defense rebounding and can penetrate the paint, all things we need. OK court vision and decision making to boot
Im giving him a minimum contract, no need to overvalue d-leagers
That said I think he is perfect for our 3rd string point guard position.
If we want to give him a minimum contract Casey should sit start hiding him on the bench, it might already be to late. Look around the league, their are a lot of guys like Anderson getting paid 2-3 million, many of them more.
$1.5M is a good starting point like HBB suggested, but their is no reason he might not get 2-3M a year with a good agent. Looks to me like he is a mature player with a good head on his shoulders.
you just don't get over 1.5 mil based on a ten-day contract...it's not even enough to create a blip on the radar. a good agent exploits market forces, but there aren't any market forces for this guy cause no one knows who he is.
If they honestly think he's a good fit moving forward, they should try to lock him up a bit longer term. And if that happens they'll have to pay a little more than min. Between mgmt and his agent, they'll need to find a happy medium. It would suck to sign him to a cheap one-year deal only to see him walk right after that, or end up getting overpaid here after that.
i'm thinking Anderson himself will just be happy to have a multi year deal with any team in the NBA regardless of dollar amount.
reminds me of a gary forbes scenario.... seasoned guy comes in, plays decent enough, looks alright, another team likes him and offers him two years at 1.5 per..... anything more than this is beyond foolish. He's never likely to be starter material but he's decent off the bench. kind of like gary forbes.
There is no need to offer him that much, the guy wants to play in the nba and he will take anything.
The guy is 30 years old or so.
The only thing he should be offered is a contract to the end of the year and an invite to training camp. Anything more is crazy.

Burnaby, B. C. Ball Of White Light Maneuvering In The Clouds
Date: August 30, 2003
Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.
Dear Mr. Vike,
My name is (removed) and I live in Burnaby on the south slope facing the pacific. It was August 30th 2003 at about 9:30 p.m. and my husband and I were barbecuing on our back patio. It was a beautiful summer night. Not a cloud in the sky, except for some which were high in the sky and over the ocean, I'd say southwest. Actually, we would have thought nothing of the clouds but then we noticed there was a small ball of white light moving around in the clouds. It was moving every which way it felt. But it never left the cloud cover. We both believe in UFOs, etc. but we were both trying to logically explain what we were seeing to each other. Like, is it a beam of light coming from Richmond or from the PNE, like a giant spotlight? No, because there was no beam of light coming from the ground. We kept on trying to figure it out as an earthly explanation.
But neither of us at the time said anything to each other that it may be a UFO. Anyways, we went inside to eat, not really thinking anything of it. We actually forgot about it. We went back outside about an hour later to look at the stars, etc. Then we noticed it was still there, in the exact same location in the sky. By now we were both thinking "UFO"! This time we watched it very carefully and notice that it would fade out of one area of the cloud and before the fade was gone it was already in the different area of the cloud. Like it was moving so fast and the light was slower than the object. We never actually saw any craft, just the ball of light moving around. We watched it for about 1/2 hour. Then next thing we knew, it had just disappeared at about 11:30 p.m.. The clouds we still there but the light was gone. Then all of a sudden, right above our heads, it seemed to be right over our house but super far in the sky we saw about 8 - 10 separate white streaks of lights, milliseconds apart traveling every which way. Then we freaked! Ever since then, every time I go on my patio at night, I think of the amazing spectacle we saw that night. I hope this helps you with your research.
Thank you to the witness for their report.
