text: Hi, A while back I took care of a rental property for a family member and there was a tenant in his building that sold loads of cellphones on ebay. Just wondering but how is that done? Do you need to have some sort of distributorship setup with Sprint, ATT etc? Anybody been in that type of business before? I'm talking about stuff like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unlocked-Bl...0812568824?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c20fd80f8

I'm hawking tickets to a community theatre production of "Over the River and Through the Woods" by Joe DiPietro. I'd like you, dear reader, to purchase a ticket or two (or three or four or more). Why? Because ticket sales benefit the Tidewater Critical Incident Stress Management Team, a crisis intervention team that assists police officers, fire fighters, EMTs, and other emergency first responders in southside Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore.
100% of the ticket sales benefit the CISM Team. The team will use the funds to train volunteers and provide some of the operating funds for the team that services several thousand emergency services providers in Tidewater Virginia.
The production is by Monumental United Methodist Church on Dinwiddie Street (at Queen Street) in Olde Towne Portsmouth and is part of their outreach & community support program. They put on a theatrical production; local non-profits each sponsor one production and get to sell tickets to that production. And then the non-profit gets to keep all the ticket sales.
Our show, the show that supports the CISM team, is March 8th at 2:30pm.
What's the play about? Here's a summary of the play I found online written by Mark S. P. Turvin: "Nick is the last of the younger set not having fled from the controlling influences of his grandparents Frank , Aida , Nunzio, and eternally house coat-clad Emma. When Nick receives a promotion that will send him to the other side of the continent, the four come up with a plan to keep him around by setting him up with the sweet Caitlin O'Hare without telling him during one of their Sunday dinners."
My wife, who happens to play Caitlin, tells me the play is really about food. She said it's about family (Italian families, actually) and food.
And, in this case, the production is about helping the community.
If you're interested in supporting the CISM team and would like to buy a ticket (or two or three or four or more), please contact me here or leave a comment below. I'll get the tickets to you or hold them at the door for you.
Please support the CISM team, and community theatre. I hope to see you Sunday for the matinee production of "Over the River and Through the Woods."

A good reference when cooking pork butt roast is to cook 55 to 85 minutes for every pound of meat at 275 F. Because of the inherent marbling and tougher meat on this cut, cooking at a low temperature for a long period of time ensures the end result to be a juicy and tender roast.
Seasoning for an oven roasted pork butt roast varies on taste preferences or traditions. Simple seasonings, such as salt and pepper, are a great starting point for novice cooks. More complex dry rubs using fresh herbs, garlic or brown sugar are an easy way to add flavor without having to put forth much effort besides the initial application of the seasoning.
When using a dry rub for a pork butt roast, apply the spices generously to the outside of the roast. To further season the meat, cut slits into the roast and insert whole cloves of garlic or more spice rub into the small openings. Searing all sides of the meat after seasoning also creates a delicious crust of flavor before roasting in the oven. Once the pork butt is ready for the oven, place the roast fat side up on a lined roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil.

Millions are flying.. its no longer a dream...
Air Deccan!!! I was travelling thru DN608 Del-Hyd.. when i saw this Deccan Promos.. It was about a old carpenter whose son send him the Flight ticket.. and this ticket took him to his past when he designed a wooden aeroplane for his son who was too much fascinated by picture of same. The happiness on the face of tht old farmer reminded me of old couple who was also travelling for first time .. The happiness and nervousness they felt when they were first time travelling by aeroplane was clearly visble on there face.. They very happily told me tht there son has sent them ticket..and he was working in some MNC in Hyd..and if i want he can help me anytime i need... They were also given lots of advices. They brought toffees with them as some one has told them that it help in reducing air pressure that built on ear while takeoff and landing. Also cotton buds.. The way aunty was looking at air hostess was funny...
Its actually true how these cheaper airlines had change our life.. ealier people use to travel 27 hr in train with out any complain..now we complain for even 30 min delay.. we curse Air deccan.. for not providing food or some times service but still prefer travelling thru it.. It actually forced other airlines to reduce money.. I remember my time also when i started earning . We people were so excited to spent our salary on flight even when it was costing us fortune and becoz of no direct flight was almost taking same time as train....!!
Thanks to air deccan which started culture of cheap air tickets and flying is no longer a dream...!!

Mr & Mrs Khandelwal...
Its strange that how much life changes after marriage... Since i knew DK much b4 marriage.. and was already taking care of most of the things.. i never thought i will also suddenly start feeling pressure of married life.. Its both positive and negative...
Some of the positive changes...
1) We suddenly started getting lot of lunch and dinner invitations from our married friends..
2) Lots of family get together..
3) Gals suddenly started feeling more safe with DK*( Just like in pyar ke side effects ;))
4) I got new fridge..new microwave.. for making my life easier..
5) My all expenses are officially taken care by DK (;0) poor he..)
6) I got lot of cosmetics and new sandles..which i wud have never bought otherwise..:D
7) DK is officially using my phone..now he can anytime attend my phone..n i dont need to shut my mouth when his parents call.. ;O)
Negative changes :(
1) All of sudden everyone is expecting us to grow up..
2) Its common assumption that i sud be a good cook and should be doing all cooking myself ( which i occasionaly experiment :( )
3) My relation ship with my parents slightly changed..:(( they call my hubby with more respect and expect me to do so.. Men!! he was my classmate only.. it look funny to call him aap.. lenge kahyenge..aayenge.. so whenever im talking with my parents.. there is lot difference while addressing the same person..
4) We have started caring for expenses and parents have stop.. That is very unlikely ..Always parents use to give lecture on saving money and now they only say "Kama kiske liye rahe hai " ( why are we earning..). And we say y are u spending so much........!!
5) Earlier i use to travel in bus and they didn't mind but all of sudden now they want me to travel in car only..!!!!!! they want me to buy a car.
6) Worst of all everytime i go home.. My parents do give gift or money to me and my hubby.. which i seriously hate.. For 21 years they had spent ther hard earned money on us.. Now its time to stop..
* Im not jealous..

San Antonio's airport has been reopened after an alarming bomb scare—prompting comment from law enforcement expert James Carlino, Police Chief in Sarasota.
Sarasota, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/24/2012 --Many American travelers have grown accustomed to the security procedures that have been put into place since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. While removing shoes and waiting in security checkpoint lines can often seem like a nuisance, most passengers agree that it is a price worth paying to ensure airport and airline security. Every now and then, however, something happens that proves how elusive full security can actually be. A prime example is a recent bomb scare, which took place in San Antonio International Airport. The airport is reopened following a full evacuation, while James Carlino, Police Chief and nationally known airport security expert, has issued a press statement with his own thoughts on the matter.
According to San Antonio International Airport spokesman Rich Johnson, the incident began when the airport's security team received a "very specific" threat, with no further elaboration. The threat was precise enough that the security team had all incoming planes parked far away from the terminal. Additionally, passengers inside the terminal were herded into the tarmac. The evacuation lasted for roughly an hour and a half, in total.
The incident was serious enough that it warranted the attention not only of San Antonio International Airport security personnel, but also of local law enforcement officers. Several federal agencies were also involved with the investigation of the bomb threat, which was eventually determined to be a false alarm.
It is the involvement of the local police that has merited the attention of James Carlino, Police Chief and airport security expert in Sarasota. Carlino has worked for years as a security expert at some of the busiest airports in the country—and in a new press statement, he says the seemingly extreme response to the bomb scare was absolutely the right course of action.
"All threats like this are taken very seriously," says Police Chief James Carlino, in his press statement. He goes on to praise the efforts of the security team in San Antonio, and also notes that preparedness for bomb scares—or bomb realities—it a vital matter for public safety. "A fast response and excellent advance planning, as in this situation, are what it takes to keep the flying public safe," Carlino affirms.
Naturally, the incident resulted in some minor inconveniences for airport passengers, including a couple of cancelled flights and some slight delays. According to security experts like James Carlino, however, these inconveniences are minor when compared with the severity of a possible bomb, or even a bomb scare, inside an international airport.
About James Carlino
James Carlino is a Chief of Police and public safety expert with more than two decades of experience in fire response, EMS, and airport law enforcement. He has commanded security teams in some of the nation's busiest airports, and has received extensive training with the United States Air Force. Carlino currently lives and works in Sarasota, Florida, where he remains a vocal champion and advocate of the key role that local law enforcement plays in maintaining rigorous airport security.
