"Sorry. We're closed."
Posted by Benjamin Geiger in Uncategorized on 27 May 2011
I just haven't found myself blogging much recently, and after someone pointed that out, I decided to close up shop.
I might start again at some point, but for the time being, I doubt that. So, we'll see.

AGREED! The men sure do not seem very interested to contact or stay in contact if i email them first. This is my second time trying this site and same thing both times. Nothing! I wish there were a site for BBW that was as active as match.com etc, where the guys were really interested in actually pursuing something more than one email.....ugh!

I agree with you both ladies, the same profiles show up time after time and no matter how many email I send there are no replies. The profiles show that the men have not logged on in over a month.
Good luck to you both!

Consider for a second, a wall.
When you see a wall, you know it to be a wall. You have a general idea of what a wall looks like, indeed, even of what it should look like. I suppose the first thoughts that passed through your mind on reading this question included the stereotypical characterization of a red brick wall. But that is not what I ask. I ask you to consider the basic nature of a wall. Why do walls exist? Why do we need walls? What do walls do?
The ever-reliable Wikipedia tells us that "A wall is a vertical structure, usually solid, that defines and sometimes protects an area. Most commonly, a wall delineates a building and supports its superstructure, separates space in buildings into rooms, or protects or delineates a space in the open air." Simply put, for any entity, a wall defines, supports and nurtures. Take a space, take a creation and the wall is its Brahma and Vishnu. It creates, it protects. A bad wall destroys. A bad wall is Mahesh.
Walls are reliable. Walls are solid. Walls support us. Walls protect us.
Now think of a cricket team, specifically the Indian Test team. Think of our opening batsmen. An attacker and a berserker. Think of when they make a century opening stand at nearly a run-a-ball and then one departs. Think of the man who used to come in after them, and how you groaned. "Abey yaar, yeh toh out bhi nahin hoga." Think of a green pitch, a seaming pitch, a bouncy pitch when one of them invariably departed almost as soon as he had come in. Think of the relief you felt at the sight of the man coming in after them. "Abey yaar, yeh toh out nahin hoga."
Rahul Dravid. The Wall.
There seems to be a general consensus that somehow, 'The Wall' isn't an appropriate enough nickname for the greatest No. 3 batsman of our time. That perhaps it needs a 'Great' as an appendage. That perhaps it needs to reflect his roots as "The Great Wall of India" or even "The Great Wall of Indore". The general consensus is wrong.
A good wall defines. More than perhaps any other cricketer, Rahul Dravid has defined the structure of the Indian cricket team. A team of stroke-makers built around a man who was as gifted as any one of his peers and who had the added skill of simply not getting out. The longer you stayed at the crease, the more you scored. Rahul Dravid stayed. This is not to say he was not as talented as his peers; indeed, I think he was rather more talented than we usually give him credit for. Rahul Dravid defined. In Adelaide, in Jamaica and so many more...
Pick any of your favorite memories of the last decade (and more) involving this Indian team, and there is a very good chance that you will find some involvement of his in it. Propping up an end for hours and hours and then some more? Done that. Kept wickets? Done that. Even bowled a few overs? Yup, done that too. Caught well-nigh everything that's come his way? Of course. Opponents came in droves, and The Wall kept them all out. He gave them a target to attack at and unrelentingly blunted them. Imagine for a second, as a bowler, you've given it your all, rushed in, attacked the stumps, bowled short, bowled yorkers and then some and the man at the other end simply refused to leave. Politely, but firmly rebuffed. How would you feel?
A good wall supports. When others crafted masterpieces, he supported them. Gave them the space, the freedom to create. He supplied the materials, kept out the sounds, made sure they were well-fed, absorbed their tantrums, massaged their egos, took away their worries and let them express. In the process, he created mini-masterpieces of his own, but someone else took away the limelight. It didn't matter. He did it all over again with someone else. Rahul Dravid supported. In Kolkata, in Headingley and so many more...
A good wall protects. Cast your mind to the future, to the next test which India will play. Imagine an early wicket falling. That chill that passed through your spine? That was the realization that Rahul Dravid will no longer be walking out to the pitch, no longer be bloody-mindedly occupying the crease. With Rahul, there was peace, now there will be insecurity.
A bad wall destroys. When The Wall was bad, the whole structure crumbled. When The Wall had a crack, not even the Gods could save us.
That is why The Wall is the perfect, and the only required sobriquet for Rahul Dravid. It is not meant to belittle him or his achievements. Rahul Dravid was not the Wall at which something stopped, he was the Wall at which everything began. Knowingly or unknowingly, we have given him our ultimate respect. We have chosen Rahul Dravid to embody everything that is good about the basic foundation of any structure created by any man. We have chosen to be surrounded, to be protected by Dravid all our life. What higher honour can we bestow?
P.S.: If I were ever asked to come up with an alternate nickname for Rahul Dravid, it would be Gandalf. More often than not, if Rahul decided you would not pass, then you would not pass. Thank you Rahul, for deciding in our favour so many times.P.P.S.: Tried to send this to SportsKeeda, but apparently they can't publish it because "it's too late to do so". Oh well.

For years, I have shared about my daughter, Tiff's sensitive nature. She just turned twelve so I wanted to share a few things that I have come to learn about my daughter over the years. I remember when she was only two years old, she used to scream for everything. She worried about so much. She also seemed to be unhappy often, and this was so hard as her mother. She wouldn't let me brush her teeth or her hair and finding clothes that didn't annoy her was challenging. Everything seemed to be such a struggle for my sweet daughter. For years her needs outweighed everyone else's in the family.
I honestly could cry thinking about how difficult and painful it was to parent a child like Tiff in all of her intense sensitivity. Loud noises made her run and scream. Changes were extremely difficult for her, as was not knowing exactly what we were going to do every day. Being spontaneous was nearly impossible because it would throw Tiff into such a distressed state. I would make sure that she knew what was happening everyday from hour to hour. She was a child who needed to know exactly what to expect and I learned how to give her that security.
Tiff also has a gift, although it can be really painful for her. She has the ability to read others like a book. Even if I am slightly annoyed with something, she knows it. She used to ask me repeatedly if I was mad at her. I used to hug her and and share with her that I wasn't upset with her. I was just having difficulty with someone else in my life. She has always been able to feel exactly what I was feeling so strongly that I found myself needing to explain things to her that my other children didn't even notice or care about. She is an extremely empathetic human being and being her mother has taught me more about myself than I ever knew was possible.
Family and friends used to tell me that I needed to have her evaluated, tested, put in therapy and medicated. Parenting a highly sensitive child, your intuition often becomes clouded by fears. I wanted what was best for her and to respect her in every way possible. I knew that if Tiff was put in the system it would forever change her. I knew she would be bombarded by others trying to control her and force her to be someone different than who she was. Instead of the advice from others, I took the path of my heart and continued trusting my instinct and her unique path.
I want to communicate to other parents with a highly sensitive child, that the this is such a short season in your lives. We have never punished Tiffany for the way she voiced her needs. She has never had a time-out, nor have we used any behavior modification techniques. She has lived in partnership with us and our role has been to love her for who she is. We have talked, explained, discussed and connected, helping her to feel safe and secure. I look back on the first six or seven years of her life as profound for me as a person, for my daughter has taught me so much about myself. I have learned the children never need to be labeled, medicated or made to change in order to have a happy, functioning life. Tiff has always been powerfully unique and she is someone who knows how to get what she wants in her life. The very qualities that made it hard to be present with her for those years have since shifted and are now some of her greatest strengths and more admirable qualities.
Today, I look back on those difficult and challenging years with such gratitude. Tiffany is one of the most beautiful, confident, patient and focused people that I know. She used to hate being around crowds and loud noises. Now her favorite place in the world, is New York City. She used to need so much help with tasks that others found easy. Now she helps me with daily tasks that the other kids find difficult. She used to horde food and toys, now she keeps her room spotless and simple. She used to hate itchy clothes and tags, now she wears fabrics that even I find uncomfortable. She has overcome issues that others told me that she would never overcome without therapy and medication. I was fed lies based on fear, yet despite all of the pressure, I never gave in. I loved and supported her through it all and today she is a whole person, body, mind and soul.
Now that she has grown older, she is able to control her emotions more and let me know when she is starting to feel overwhelmed. I help her by giving her coping tools and she trusts me and listens to my advice. She sees me as a leader and her best friend in life. She has taken up modeling and her inner beauty shines through all that she does. She is a success in life, already! She has had her own pet sitting business and helps others find joy in their lives in any way that she can.
Last night Tiffany took her first hip hop class taught by a beautiful, loving teacher whom she trusts. As I watched my daughter dance among the other girls, I began to cry. Memories of my sweet daughter flooded my mind. I remembered the worries, the fear and the pain that I felt for her for so many years as I helped her navigate her world. Tears were streaming down my face. I couldn't take my eyes off of her as she danced in her perfection and inner light. She danced with a confident smile and her head held high and my heart was at peace.

I just received a Clone Wars Yoda Monument in the mail--very impressive in both size and mass. But I'm quite disappointed as there was a 12-inch crack along Yoda's left leg running up towards the left arm of robe. Am I the lucky winner of this defect, or are others finding similar condition problems with their's also?

What happened to you? You used to be so cool, "Toast that tastes great!" was the tag line Don Cherry used to blast out in the commercials.
But now?!? Damn.
In December, in the office, we tried to order online for an office function, but after placing the order – so we thought – instead of showing us the shopping cart, the website instead prompted us to "place our order" and removed everything in our cart. The 15 minutes we spent getting all the details together was wasted.
Also of concern at that time was the fact that the website doesn't list the prices of the food. To be sure I was not pointing out incorrect information, I went to http://www.quiznosdelivers.ca/ and low and behold, no prices. I actually had a hard time finding the menu – I found the button to buy a franchise, however I was thinking of spending a little less than that.
So we tried again, held our breath and ordered. No dice.
So we called the local Quiznos in Richmond Hill and were dumbfounded at what we were being told over the phone.
The pizza we wanted to order was not available as there was no cheese and get this, the person taking the orders on the phone had such poor english that after ordering 4 of their specials, we ended up with 4 regular priced sandwiches.
No cheese???
So I went to their website to locate the feedback or contact us section so I could complain about the lack of prices on the website and why the online ordering was not working but there is nowhere on the site to send an email, or an address to tweet to. Just a phone number? REALLY?
Are we in 2012 (then late 2011).
And they don't deliver, and their idea of "bottled drinks"… Cans.
The soggiest toasted sandwich ever.
All-in-all, a very disappointing experience. Someone needs to pull the CEO aside and let them know that the quickest way to being out of business is to not keep up with technologies and providing less than exceptional customer service and getting the orders right.
Is this not common sense?
Anyone else experience this?
I think we need an Undercover Boss, Quiznos episode. At the very least, with my MBA, I can come in and clean up the process… Forget that dude who lost weight eating your competitors products, bring back Don Cherry and with him and the Urban Daddy, you'll be back on track in no time!

Periodontics in Union, NJ
Periodontics is the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the gums. Also known as gum disease, periodontal disease involves bacterial growth (a colorless film called "plaque") that gradually destroys the tissue surrounding the teeth. If plaque is not removed, it builds up on the teeth and ultimately irritates the gums and causes bleeding and receding gums. If left untreated, bone and surrounding tissue will decay, resulting in loose teeth, or worse, tooth loss. More than 75 percent of Americans over age 35 have some form of gum disease.
Our skilled periodontists in Union will help you maintain healthy gums through the detection and treatment of diseases like periodontitis and gingivitis (i.e. inflammation, swelling, and bleeding of the gums). By detecting and treating gum disease in its earliest stages, we can help you avoid the chronic bacterial infections that can lead to tooth loss and other serious complications. You can also avoid the "long in the tooth" look of premature aging due to receding gums.

|Maintaining a competitive edge within the 21st century is dependent on the cultivation of human capital, producing qualified and innovative employees capable of competing within the new global marketplace. Technological advancements in communications technology as well as large scale, infrastructure development has led to a leveled playing field where students in the U.S. will ultimately be competing for jobs with not only local, but also international, peers. Thus, the ability to understand and learn from our global competitors, starting with the examination of innovative education systems and best practice strategies, is tantamount to the economic development, and ultimate survival, of the U.S. as a whole. ❧ The purpose of this study was to investigate the current state of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and workforce pipelines in the U.S., China, and Taiwan. Two broad research questions examined STEM workforce production in terms of a) structural differences in primary and secondary school systems, including analysis of minimum high school graduation requirements and assessments as well as b) organizational differences in tertiary education and trends in STEM undergraduate and graduate degrees awarded in each region of interest. ❧ While each of the systems studied had their relative strengths and weaknesses, each of the Asian economies studied had valuable insights that can be categorized broadly in terms of STEM capacity, STEM interest and a greater understanding of global prospects that led to heightened STEM awareness. ❧ In China and Taiwan, STEM capacity was built via both traditional and vocational school systems. Focused and structured curriculum during the primary and early secondary school years built solid mathematics and science skills that translated into higher performance on international assessments and competitions. Differentiated secondary school options, including vocational high school and technical colleges and programs beginning shortly after junior high produced a greater number of alternatives for producing STEM capable students. ❧ A heightened interest in the STEM fields was built upon standardized academic core curriculum that ultimately yielded a greater percentage of qualified and interested Asian students pursuing bachelor's and advanced STEM degrees both in their native country and abroad. Rewards and incentives built into school systems, expansion of tertiary degree-granting programs, as well as the development of multiple university entrance pathways has served to heighten interest and perception of STEM careers as well as recruit top students into STEM fields. Further, foreign language classes, starting from either the first or third year of primary school, coupled with information technology and other experimental science and research themed classes, resulted in students who were more aware of global market demands. ❧ Analysis of longitudinal data shows that over a nine-year period, this combination of increased STEM capacity, interest and awareness resulted in a far greater percentage of 9th graders who eventually became STEM certificate, bachelor's, and advanced degree holders capable of competing in the global marketplace.

Jr. Cosby the first born child of Husie and Mae Cosby was born on May 4, 1923 in the small town of Corona, New Mexico.
He lived in Corona until 1941, when at the age of 18, he joined the United States Army.
After getting out of the Military he started driving truck. In the process of trucking he came to Blanding to collect a debt on the sale of a truck, and worked hauling uranium ore.
In 1949, while working in Blanding, he met his sweetheart, Mavis Shumway and they wed on September 1, 1949 in Blanding, UT.
Together they were blessed with five children, Dennis, Kathleen, Tommy, Kay and JoAnne.
On January 27, 1990, he was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Due to this special blessing in his life, he was able to be sealed for time and all eternity to his wife and sweetheart Mavis on July 13, 1991.
He continued in the trucking business, starting his own company "H.F. Cosby Trucking."
Due to his business in trucking and his outgoing personality, he met many people and developed many friendships.
It seemed that about everyplace he went he would know someone or quickly get to know someone. Jr. retired in 2006, at the age of 83. He then turned his business over to his son Dennis and grandson Kedrick. This freed up his time for his "Office" friends who he cared for deeply.
He loved our mother and would let her know this each day. He was always good to his family and helped us when needed. To others he was kind and generous. We are proud to call him our father.
He is preceded in death by his parents, a sister, a brother, sons Tommy and Kay Jim.
A graveside service was held on Feb 6, 2012 at the Blanding Cemetery.
Card of thanks
The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Josh Nielson, the nursing staff Donna, Georgia, Christina, Kamery, and Sunnie for all their loving care towards our father.
We are grateful for the individuals who performed the military honors with such dignity and strength.
Thank you to all the kind members of this community for the delicious food and endless words of encouragement. We love and appreciate you all.

Like the flames of the Phoenix you were born to rise!
Radiance Marketing
Many of us are waking up to the idea that we can be a part of the solution. That our lives can truly be a reflection of our highest values while making positive contributions in our world. New Phoenix Rising harnesses the power of people making a difference to create a community that supports personal freedom and soul purpose. Balancing the emphasis between time freedom, social change and prosperity, we have created a space for you to passionately embody your dreams.
You were not born to live a life of pain and suffering. You were sent forth to bring your own unique grace onto this world. Is it not time to liberate the spirit of our inner child, to embrace the true brilliance of our origins, to allow the love that desires to shine through us, to be birthed onto this plane as a transformation, to heal not only the consciousness of mankind but to become the expression of great joy and great freedom?
When all else has failed, we return back to the basics, back to the fundamentals of a simplistic way of being, back to the expression of our true authentic selves. By returning to the supremacy of love we begin to understand how powerful love actually is in the conception of universal tranquility throughout our communities and ultimately embodied throughout the entirety of our world. Love has the power to change others, and by loving someone you become your own witness towards how powerfully that love changes yourself.
You have the inner authority to create what ever your heart desires. The basic principle of our opportunity revolves around what we call Radiance Marketing. Those who do choose to distribute our products by sharing them with others will in turn personally benefit from doing so. This can grow to become a time freeing residual income stream.
You were born to follow the pathway of your heart while you embody your passion for living as a result of fulfilling your ever-evolving dream.
What's Your Dream?
What is it that you've always wanted to do but for whatever reason, you've not yet done? We are speaking about your heart's desire, the thing that gets your pulse racing when you allow yourself to think about it!
Many of us have almost forgotten what that feeling is like, because we've told ourselves stories about why we cannot do, be, or have whatever that special something is. Perhaps it's as simple as being a full-time parent without the worry or restrictive concerns about money. Maybe it's a special journey to an exotic location, or the ability to work for causes that you believe in without concern about being paid. Perhaps you want a lifestyle, which allows all of these things and more.
Will You Allow It?
Life is about choices. We offer you the opportunity to achieve your heart's desires with a community of like-minded individuals eager to make a difference in their world. At New Phoenix Rising, we live and teach the process of creating success as a Spiritual Journey, where the process is as important as the outcome; where success is defined as much by the feelings in your heart as the dollars in your wallet. Fulfillment starts with having a dream and being willing to take action. Next, one must have a vehicle that supports the expression of that passion and dream. We've created a space for you to connect with your dream (if you are not already) and most importantly, to live your dream now! Our nature-based marketing system is designed to fit your lifestyle, integrating your life into a seamless whole, moving you toward pollinating for yourself the blossoming life that you truly deserve.
What Makes Us Unique?
It really comes down to simplicity and empowerment. The key to creating sustainable prosperity is leading from the heart while teaching simple actions which support and empower you to live from the inside out. As you integrate these values, life becomes a seamless experience, an expression of your inner joy. At it's core, New Phoenix Rising is a pathway from the old paradigm to the new. This is evident in our Social Change Initiatives and in the way that we address our opportunity as both a pathway to higher consciousness and a vehicle to return home.
Many people have become disheartened by both business and our social collective market place. We now live in the ever-evolving aftermath of the physical, mental and emotional destruction that has been caused by both corporate and individual power grabs at the impulse of disingenuous greed. Those of us who still have maintained the values of an integral heart have begun disassociating ourselves from the world of big business and materialistic economics on a return path towards the wholesome and healing prosperity offered onto us through a reconnection with the laws of nature. At New Phoenix Rising we aspire to build a bridge to create an alchemical blending between both the intelligence of nature and the world of business. With our core purpose being to restore balance within our current radically polarized society. We understand that healing and happiness is an inside job. That in order to restore harmony upon our planet we must first find balance within our own internal workings and then offer life changing support and assistance to others that may be struggling to find their footing on their journey home to the soulfulness of whom they really are.
The collective market place is only a constructed opinion, a perception that has unfortunately been based on the foundations of separation, scarcity, fear and an imbalanced gluttonous deprivation towards the whole of mankind. For decades we have consumed more than what the earth is capable of naturally producing to keep up with our instantaneous demands. Through choosing to participate in our company you have the opportunity to co-create a new leading edge perception of how exchanging both products and information out of true integrity can manifest and change the nature of the marketplace itself. This is part of the change taking place within the consciousness of mankind. For when the heart is opened and the mind is healed, is it not true that one begins to see the insanity of its previous creations?
We are unique in the sense that our vision has its roots in our principal desire to lead with an example of how new forms can be created so that there still can be the exchange of products and information but through a vehicle that shines a light on what it means to live through the integrity of the heart. Meanwhile we can begin offering service towards the evolution of humanities wellbeing first and foremost. By healing the collective wound of fear and separation, by recovering from the need to dominate, manipulate and control our environments in determent to creating prolonged suffering towards others and towards disrupting the sacredness within the earthly ecosphere that supports us, we can finally begin to bring in a frequency of true loveliness towards a new era, a new generation that ultimately unveils itself to understanding and trusting the natural cycles of authentic wisdom through living in a renewed state of intelligent regeneration.
Our Invitation
Through our intention within both our products and opportunity we have manifested a great treasure that we wish to share with others. We aim to inform our communities that there is a new way and a better way of being. That is very much a part of what the vehicle of New Phoenix Rising is all about. To lift the limits off of our consciousness and merge into creating a reality without condemning restrictions so that we can live a life of infinite possibility.
We are not seeking to convince anyone to do anything, yet rather to invite them into a journey that they may find as being in alignment with their own values.
We invite you to join us on what we call the "Voyage to Lemuria", an uncharted inner expedition to the fabled land where all is in balance. Explore the steps below to see just how simple our opportunity truly is!
Below is a video and visual description of how our business model works within the structure of three simple steps that when repeated over time can lead towards a path of successful prosperity in your life.

This Christmas, Buyers Were Stocking Up on Tablets
According to analytics firm Flurry, at least 17.4 million iOS and Android devices were activated on Christmas Day, up from the average of 4 million devices that Flurry saw between Dec. 1 and Dec. 20 and from 6.8 million device activations on Christmas 2011.
What's more, while smartphones make up 80 percent of activations on a typical day, Christmas saw a roughly even split between tablets and phones.
"On this Christmas Day 2012, more iPhones, iPads, Galaxys, Kindle Fires, and more, were activated than on any other day in history," Flurry said in a blog post.
Overall, a record number of devices were activated on Christmas, and a record number of apps downloaded as well. Flurry estimated that 328 million apps were downloaded, up from an average of 155 million per day earlier in the month and more than 250 million last Christmas.

Mark Honan writes about what happened when his iCloud account was hacked, and in a matter of five minutes the hackers remote wiped his iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air and more than a years worth of data. In his own words:
At 4:50 PM, someone got into my iCloud account, reset the password and sent the confirmation message about the reset to the trash. My password was a 7 digit alphanumeric that I didn't use elsewhere. When I set it up, years and years ago, that seemed pretty secure at the time. But it's not. Especially given that I've been using it for, well, years and years. My
guess is they used brute force to get the password (see
update) and then reset it to do the damage to my devices.
The backup email address on my Gmail account is that same .mac email address. At 4:52 PM, they sent a Gmail password recovery email to the .mac account. Two minutes later, an email arrived notifying me that my Google Account password had changed.
At 5:00 PM, they remote wiped my iPhone
At 5:01 PM, they remote wiped my iPad
At 5:05, they remote wiped my MacBook Air.
A few minutes after that, they took over my Twitter. Because, a long time ago, I had linked my Twitter to Gizmodo's they were then able to gain entry to that as well.
In the case Mark Honan, the problem was once his iCloud account was compromised, all this devices were. I do not use iCloud, but the same thing could happen to me, or any or us. For most of us the key to the online world we live in revolves around our primary email address.
If a hacker is able to gain access to our primary email address, the hacker can use that email address to reset passwords in our Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Dropbox, Box or any other online service that we use. I doubt if any system can hold off a skilled and determined hacker forever, but there are a few things we can do to make your online persona and data more secure.
Use Gmail and enable two step authentication. Most email services rely on a user created password to provide security. Gmail uses two step authentication. First you have your password. Second, the device you access your account to has to have been authenticated. When you log on to Google services you will be asked for your password. If this is the first time you log on with a particular device, you will be asked for an authentication code. This code is generated by an app on your smartphone or you can get the code via voice call or SMS. You can set it up to keep your device verified for 30 days, after which you have to authenticate the device again.
So basically, accessing your Gmail account means that a hacker would have to find out what your user generated password is, and that figure out the corresponding Google authentication code, which changes every minute. I would not say hack proof, nothing is, but much safer.
But I do not want to change email addresses? You do not have to. You can continue to use you Hotmail, Outlook, Yahoo or other address but you should consider using a second email address, a Gmail the address, the place where emails for password recovery are sent.

Try roasting it on a Caja China
We'd had a great day on the water. The bite was good, and we had boated a gorgeous pair of fat stripers, one 27 inches and the other just over 30. It seemed a shame to reduce them to fillets, so I didn't. Scaling the hefty fish, then eviscerating them and removing the gills, I laid their graceful forms aside and reached for my phone to borrow a friend's Caja China (pronounced: ka-ha cheena).
The Caja China is a Cuban barbeque box intended for roasting small pigs. It made its way to America in the 1980s. Immigrants fleeing Fidel Castro's Communist dictatorship brought their favorite cookware with them from Cuba.
Bluefish have shown up all the way to the Chester River. Choppers to 26 inches have been reported around the Severn while smaller 10- to 12-inch snappers are causing headaches all over for live-liners trying for rockfish. The little blues bite off the back half of the live spot used for bait. Cownosed rays are also causing their share of problems as they swarm areas where rockfishing chummers are operating and eating baits intended for the stripers. In spite of everything, rockfishing remains good, though the fish are smaller and not quite as easy to find as they were earlier in the season.
Hunting Season
Resident Canada goose: Eastern Zone: thru Sept. 14; Western Zone: thru Sept. 25. Calvert County is in the Eastern zone. Anne Arundel divides. For zone boundaries, see www.eregulations.com/maryland/mdhd12/early-resident-canada-goose-seasons....
It turns out that this simple roasting box is perfect for cooking large, whole striped bass. The presentation factor is off the charts, while the price isn't, starting at about $250. Roasting is fast; a large rockfish is done in under 30 minutes.
Start out with a large striper (or stripers), clean as I described earlier and just before cooking brush the entire fish inside and out with olive oil; then season with salt and pepper. You can stuff the fish if you like. I've used cooked rice mixed with sweet corn cut from the cob and chopped red bell pepper. Others have suggested Crab Imperial as a great stuffer, but you'll need a lot of crab.
Finish off by dusting the whole fish lightly with sugar to encourage the browning or caramelizing of the skin, which seals in the moisture and flavor.
Put the fish on a rack for convenient lifting. Start the fire on the top of the box with about four or five pounds of charcoal and spread it out evenly over the top after ignition.
When the charcoal is distributed and burning nicely, lift off the top, place the fish inside and cover. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes.
When the bass is nicely browned on one side, remove the cover and, using a couple of spatulas, turn the fish over. Roast for another 10 minutes or until that side is also well browned. The fish is done when it will flake easily at its thickest part. Then remove the fish and loosely cover with aluminum foil for about 10 minutes or until everyone is seated.
Remove the foil, then gently slide a knife under the fish's skin and remove it. Remove the pectoral fin (it should easily pull away). Then use a pair of tongs to gently pull out the dorsal fin and its accompanying bones.
The top side of the fish can then be served, virtually boneless, after which the vertebrae can be snipped at the fish's head and tail and the entire bone structure lifted out, making the bottom half of the fish easily accessible.
The most flavorful parts of the bass are those that were closest to bone, and the heavy top section of meat just behind the head is the sweetest. Reserve the cheek meat for the guest of honor.

PARIS (Reuters) - Telecom network operators are expected to increase their spending on equipment this year, giving a boost to vendors like Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent after economic weakness caused a sharp market contraction in 2012.
Industry executives and market researchers give varying forecasts for the size of the jump ahead, but all expect equipment demand in the United States, Brazil, and China to fuel growth as operators step up their investments in faster fourth generation (4G) wireless broadband networks.
Europe is expected to stagnate again this year after the debt crisis and economic woes caused operators to sharply cut network spending last year. Although groups like Vodafone and France Telecom are building 4G networks, they are more cautious than U.S. counterparts such as Verizon and AT&T because of fears that the extra investment won't pay off in Europe where mobile prices are lower.
The trends have led market research group Gartner to predict sales of network equipment to carriers to rise 2.3 percent to $79 billion in 2013, after falling 6.6 percent to $77.3 billion last year. North America and Latin America will grow by 4 percent, while Asia excluding Japan will be up 3.6 percent.
Infonetics Research is far more bullish - forecasting up to 13 percent growth this year after a flat 2012 - because analyst Stephane Teral expects to see significant catch-up spending by operators who delayed network investments last year.
Huawei Technologies, the second-biggest equipment vendor by sales after Ericsson but effectively shut out of the U.S. over security concerns, said the overall network equipment market will grow by 5 percent this year.
Other vendors may give their own predictions when they report annual results, with Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) due to report on January 24, Ericsson on January 31 and Alcatel-Lucent on February 7.
"The trend of telecom operators being prudent about their overall capex envelopes is here to stay. I don't think the major equipment vendors will get a lot of relief in terms of top-line growth this year," said Deborah Kish, analyst at Gartner.
"Where the carriers need the most help is designing and integrating their increasingly complex networks and minimizing outages from mobile traffic peaks. That often requires software solutions and technical advice, not only the hardware the big five vendors are used to selling."
Ericsson, NSN, and Alcatel-Lucent do make software and manage operators' networks via outsourcing contracts, but are not always at ease in providing a consulting role compared with new competitors like IBM and Wipro.
Network operators globally are currently in a multi-year investment cycle to upgrade mobile networks to 4G technology, known as LTE, which offers up to 10 times faster download speeds. With data traffic from video downloads and on-the-go web surfers clogging up telecoms networks, operators also need to spend to avoid outages and improve customer service.
Yet the smartphone and tablet boom, which has lifted profits at companies like Apple and Google, has not yet proven to be such a boom for the groups that actually make the equipment for the networks.
Brutal competition for contracts, often sparked by low-cost Chinese players Huawei and ZTE, has caused several years of price deflation and eroding margins.
Some price pressure has eased because Huawei has largely stopped competing on price in contract bids because it no longer needs to gain share at the expense of margins. But industry executives say challengers like ZTE and Samsung still lower prices to win initial contracts.
Ericsson and NSN have also at times undercut on price to keep key customers, according to industry sources, accepting lower margins on 3G network modernization contracts in Europe.
As a result Ericsson's operating margin had nearly halved from six years ago to just 10 percent for the first nine months of 2012, while Alcatel-Lucent hasn't been able to return to steady profitability since it was formed from a transatlantic merger in 2006.
Meanwhile Huawei's overall operating profit margin went from 7 percent in 2006 to 15-16 percent in 2009-2010 before slipping to 9 percent in 2011, the last year for which figures are available. The privately owned group does not detail profits for its network gear business.
But the fundamental pressures on equipment vendors are not expected to change significantly this year, according to analysts and industry executives.
"It's highly unlikely that there will be a significant change in 2013 market trends from 2012," Alcatel-Lucent's chief executive Ben Verwaayen said last month.
To reverse two quarters of losses last year Alcatel-Lucent, which is in fourth place in terms of market share for mobile networks equipment with a strong presence in the lucrative U.S. market, is cutting 1.25 billion euros in costs and raising debt.
However, NSN has emerged stronger from last year, helped by a major restructuring which aims to shed units unrelated to the core mobile broadband business and cut 17,000 jobs to save $1.34 billion by the end of 2013. It posted an operating profit in the last three quarters.
"I strongly believe NSN is in as number two or three (in industry rankings) depending on how market dynamics affect the coming quarters," said Teral.

First Colorado, now Missouri: GOP urges it own candidate to get out of the race
Stop me if you heard this before: A Republican candidate deemed unelectable refuses to drop out of the race, giving the Democrat an edge in what is supposed to be a GOP year.
What happened in Colorado in 2010 with Republican Dan Maes and the governor's race now appears to be happening in Missouri with Republican Todd Akin and the U.S. Senate race. And to top it off, Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council has weighed in on Akin's race against U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri.
Congressman Akin, the GOP Senate nominee, has been under fire since a TV reporter asked him his views on abortion, and whether there should be exceptions for rape. Akin responded that doctors have said getting pregnant is rare because "if it's legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."

Q: When is the best time to install underwater pond lighting?
Lou – Winston, OR
A: Whether it's illuminating a patio, a landscape or a water garden, outdoor lighting can have a dramatic impact on the area's space. It creates a special mood and spotlights stunning features while adding ambient light to the environment.
Underwater lighting is best installed when your pond is empty, like while it's being constructed or – in most cases – while you're doing your annual spring cleanout. If you're putting in lights this spring, here are four key tips to follow:
- Choose the Right Lights: Landscaping lights come in many different sizes and varieties, and so it can be hard to choose the best for your needs. Luckily, we offer three above- and underwater lights that will do the trick.
- LEDPro™ 6-Watt LED Light Kit: These lights highlight your pond and landscaping with energy-efficient LED bulbs. It shines with the same intensity as a 50-watt halogen but with a longer life span and lower energy costs.
- LEDPro™ 12-Watt Single Light: This spotlight also features an LED bulb, but it shines with the same intensity as a 70-watt halogen.
- LEDPro™ Rock Lights: Featuring a realistic stone finish, these small warm-white LED lights illuminate 10 watts per light but use only 2 watts of power. They're perfect for accenting special features in your garden.
- Point Lights to the Pond: Rather than directing your landscape lights toward the patio or other viewing area, shine the light on pond instead. Your goal is to illuminate your water feature – not blind yourself while viewing it.
- Cast an Underwater Glow: Beneath the water's surface, install lights that will spotlight your waterfall or stream's cascading water. And don't forget to include some that will highlight landscaping around and pondscaping in your water feature, too.
- Stash Extra Power Cord: To give yourself easy accessibility to the underwater lights when you need to change their bulbs, wrap some excess power cord around the light. This will allow you to simply pull the light out of the water and change the bulb without having to drain the water or move a rock.
Over time, algae and other debris will build up on your lights – and so you'll need to add a new to-do item on your spring cleanout checklist! Each year, plan to give those lenses a good scrubbing and replace any burned-out bulbs.

When you become a dental assistant, you'll enjoy a career that is not only fulfilling, but also rewarding. Caring dental assistants truly make a difference with clients, providing comfort and education. Plus, this field offers flexible hours and is expected to grow exponentially in the future. Dental assistant school is the first step you need to take, and this online Clinical Dental Assistant course will prepare you to become a productive and successful member of a dental hygienist team.
This online dental assisting course is the most comprehensive you'll find. You'll learn about every aspect of professional dental assisting, including invaluable real-world perspectives from experienced dental assistants and essential information about anatomy and physiology, preventive dentistry, patient care and communication, radiology, pharmacology, anesthesia, assisting in specialty practices, employment strategies, and much more.
Toward the end of the course—or after completion—you will have the opportunity to apply for an externship, where you'll get real-life clinical assistant experience. You'll also be ready to pursue certification as a dental assistant by passing the radiology and infection control portions of the Dental Assisting National Board examination. The exam or one or more of its components is necessary in states where registration is required for dental assistants.
Clinical Dental Assistant Externship
The 40-hour Dental Externship is only offered to Clinical Dental Assistant students. The application for the externship is within the course. You must be at least 80% complete with the course before applying but will also have up to 6 months after completion to apply. The externship is not guaranteed. It is an optional part of the course, but highly recommended training for clinical assistant experience. Accepted externship students will be assisted in finding local offices that they are interested in. Externship students will need to pass a background check and a possible drug test. You will be asked to purchase liability insurance and be responsible for purchasing this on their own ($40 to $45 for an annual policy). You will need to provide an updated resume, current CPR certification and proof of current Hepatitis B vaccinations or a current negative test form provided by a doctor, depending on the state or the doctor office that has been selected for the externship. There may be more requirements depending on the state or dental office selected.

text: A bit like Dean Kamen's miraculous water distiller, only not quite so fancy or miraculous, is the WaterMill drinking water collector. It's basically a clever dehumidifier that collects airborne water and filters and purifies it with an ultraviolet steriliser, providing you with up to 12 litres of water per day. And before you start thinking your home air is going to be all dry and uncomfy, it is actually designed to hang outside your house and inhale water from there, streaming it to where it's needed inside: like your in-fridge chilled water dispenser. It's due out February 2009, and though unit pricing's not known, it'll cost you about 11 cents per day to run. Or you can just drink tap water. [Product via Geekologie]

Masked robber shoots Glenwood Springs artist on Father's Day in Wal-Mart
Glenwood Springs police trudged into the steep, rough hills searching late on June 16, 2002 — Father's Day.
Officers wearing night-vision gear looked for signs of the gunman.
K-9s sniffed the ground for signs of a man believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s.
The man was skinny and about 5-feet-10.
He wore over-sized goggles, a black ball cap and black jacket. He appeared to have a few days growth of facial hair.
Wal-Mart employee Tom Lubchenco, a 56-year-old artist, was then lying on the floor in the store room, bleeding to death.
Lubchenco had apparently caught the disguised intruder at about 11:30 p.m. hiding in a storeroom.
After shooting Lubchenco, the gunman struck another man in the head and took off running.
Other Walmart workers had chased the man through the aisles of the store, out through the parking lot and into the hills.

It all becomes suddenly worth it. Just as you are rewarded with world-class skiing and epic views for making the long journey to Telluride, you are also awarded with an incredible dining scene. From lunch with a breathtaking view of the San Juans to exciting Asian options, classic European and modern, cultured victuals. The Telluride dining options are not limited to the quaint historic mining town either. Food-goers can also dine at an on-mountain restaurant or in the modern Mountain Village, so diners can feel out the differing restaurants and vibes of each of Telluride's core areas.
Those who appreciate some historic dining atmosphere must spend a meal at Hotel Columbia's Cosmopolitian, or "Cosmo" to locals. The restaurant resides in a former mining-era saloon, which makes for interesting crossing of genres, since the menu is considered to be American, French and Thai fusion. If you're looking for more core European cuisine, head to Marmotte on San Juan Avenue, also located in a historic building, which once served as the town ice house. There you can enjoy classic French bistro fare and an impressive wine list.
If you're a diner who seeks out restaurants that operate in the "farm to table" fashion, then don't miss two key restaurants in the Telluride Mountain Village. One is Rev, in Hotel Madeline. Its menus (breakfast and dinner) feature local produce and meats, including Colorado lamb, elk and beef. And their inspired, contemporary cocktails from Smak Bar are sure to delight any city slicker. For organic, grass-fed bison and beef, plus fresh pastas give Palmyra at The Peaks hotel a whirl. Their wine list will not disappoint either.
Spectacular, breathtaking, unique, special. Seldom do these descriptions exist in the same breath as convenient. At Allred's Restaurant they luckily do. This incredible dining experience exists at 10,551 feet on Telluride Mountain Resort, and conveniently located between downtown Telluride and the Mountain Village. So no matter where you're staying during your Telluride ski vacation a world-class meal at Allred's is just a gondola ride away. And if they views didn't get you, the cuisine and wine list surely will, with menu picks like Colorado braised lamb, wild salmon and Colorado roasted chicken. It's vintages are award-winning, and there are few places better than Allred's fireplace with a view to relax with a glass of wine after.
To learn more about Telluride dining call, or chat with, one of Ski.com's knowledgeable Mountain Vacation Specialists.

I've just noticed the similarity in the Audience strings of Stack Overflow and Programmers.
It was particularly apparent when a question had been migrated from Stack Overflow, and the following was displayed below the question:
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
To my mind, given that we now have Programmers as well, this string is no longer the best description for uniquely identifying the audience of Stack Overflow. The converse description is displayed when a question is migrated from Programmers:
This question came from our site for expert programmers interested in professional discussions on software development.
Whilst I think this describes perfectly what Programmers is about and how it is different to Stack Overflow, I think the first message, particularly when viewed on Programmers, doesn't do enough to show the differences between Stack Overflow and Programmers.
Now that we have both Programmers and Stack Overflow, does that audience string need re-wording to show that Stack Overflow is a site for questions related to programs, whereas Programmers is for questions related to the programmer, and if so, does anyone have any suggestions? I'd suggest something like

Lionel Messi continued his prodigious goalscoring form with a brace, as Barcelona qualified for the Last 16 of the Champions League with a 3-0 win over Spartak Moscow, who have been eliminated.
After Dani Alves had put them ahead after 16 minutes, Messi bagged his double before halftime to extend Barca's lead at the top of Group G, although Celtic can still overtake them if they win their last two games and Barca slip up.
Messi, who was top scorer in the competition for a record fourth time last season, now has five goals from five games and he has 80 for the calendar year as he pursues Gerd Muller's 85 goals for Bayern Munich and Germany in 1972.
He moved level with Ruud van Nistelrooy on 56 Champions League goals behind Raul, the competition's all-time scorer with 71 goals.
Spartak coach Unai Emery was hampered by a number of injuries, including Artem Dzyuba and Aiden McGeady, while Nicolas Pareja was suspended.
Carles Puyol returned to the Barca defense in their weekend victory over Real Zaragoza for the first time since he dislocated his elbow in the Champions League clash with Benfica early in October. However, Tito Vilanova chose to rest him, with Javier Mascherano partnering Gerard Pique at the heart of the defense.
Barca forged the first opportunity when Pedro Rodriguez chested down a Xavi Hernandez pass, but his volley was saved well by 'keeper Andrey Dikan.
Spartak may be struggling in Europe, but they have been playing well domestically and are the top scorers in the Russian top flight. A well-worked corner routine could have seen them go ahead, but Dmitriy Kombarov side-footed over from close range.
Barca were less forgiving, as Alves fired home a loose ball on the edge of the area minutes later.
The visitors had control of the midfield, but Spartak were dangerous on the break and Marek Suchy failed to hit the target from an Emmanuel Emenike cross after being left unmarked.
Barca were fully exposing Spartak's weakness at the back, with Messi getting his first of the night.
Andres Iniesta saw his shot saved by the 'keeper, but Messi, following up, knocked the ball home with his weaker right foot.
Spartak were also stretching Barca's defense, but they continued to waste their openings with 'keeper Victor Valdes not even forced into making a serious save. Jose Jurado crossed for Emenike, but he also failed to hit the target.
Emery said Spartak's aim was to copy Celtic's achievement, where they beat Barca 2-1 at home in their last match, but they were leaving wide spaces at the back for a charged-up Barca, and Messi gave them a commanding 3-0 lead before the break.
Latching onto a Pedro pass, he went round the keeper and slotted home.
After the restart Barca eased off and Spartak had more of the ball, but with the quality Barca have in attack they continued to create chances.
Cesc Fabregas linked up with Iniesta, but after receiving the ball back he was denied by another good save from Dikan and then minutes later Pedro headed over from close range.
Emery tried bringing on Zhano Ananidze and Welliton Soares, but the Spartak players' heads had started to drop and apart from an opportunity for Evgeni Makeev, when he failed to control the ball in the box, they made few chances to get back into the game as the match wore on.
