Sanjana Akula, a senior at Biotechnology High School in Freehold, New Jersey, organized an attempt to break the Guinness World record of "most arm-linked people to stand up simultaneously" to raise awareness for sex trafficking in the United States.
Akula's anti-trafficking organization, Rakshana, partnered with Marlboro's Teen Advisory Committee to host the event at the Marlboro Recreation Center. Approximately 172 participants from across Monmouth County attended and ultimately, 146 worked together to break the record.
"It was a lot of hard work and a lot of late nights, staying up until 2 a.m. or 3 a.m., but it was worth it. I think we all had a lot of fun and, more importantly, 172 people left knowing a little bit more about trafficking. It's important that we realize that human trafficking isn't a problem that is isolated to third world countries. It's right here in our own state and in our own country," said Akula. "I've been working to fight trafficking for over two years now and, for the longest time, I believed that awareness campaigns didn't do much to help most causes, but this is one of the few areas where awareness is integral to solving the issue."
Akula says, per Guinness rules, independent witnesses verified the attempt as successful and it will be confirmed in the coming months by Guinness. The event was inspired by news of a sex trafficking bust called Operation Cross Country XI, a nationwide effort focusing on underage human trafficking that ran from October 12-15, 2017.
"Most people that came assumed that it would be easy to break this record. Really, it took almost an hour to get all 172 people up! To be able to get up together, we needed to be cognizant of those who couldn't get up by themselves and actively adjust to help them get up without breaking the chain," said Akula.
"When you feel passionately about anything in life, pursue it. It makes you a better person. It gives you a purpose and something to work towards," said Larry Rosen, Deputy Mayor of Marlboro and adult coordinator of the Marlboro Teen Advisory Committee, of Akula's efforts.
"Trying to stand up was so much harder than I thought it would be. When I first arrived, I thought this was just an silly record the town was trying to break, but after hearing Sanjana speak, I realized I was part of something bigger than myself, and I was helping fight one of the greatest threats to young women today," said Dennis Abate and Colts Neck High School junior.
"I wanted to see Sanjana reach her goal, although it was harder than I thought. Who knew standing together could be so hard?!" said Cleo Hendrickson, director of volunteering, Jersey Shore Red Cross.

"Maimonides legislates that it is incumbent upon the Jewish people even to coerce the rest of the world if necessary to accept the Noahide laws (Mishneh Torah , Laws of Kings 8,10) … we certainly must proselytize every human being to keep those seven laws." (Rabbi Shlomo Riskin)
Rabbi Visits Benedict XVI
Pope: "We Need to Work Together"
VATICAN CITY, JAN. 13, 2011 (Zenit.org).- A [Brooklyn] New-York born rabbi who is the chancellor of [an alleged] Jewish-Christian cooperation group in [counterfeit] Israel met with Benedict XVI after Wednesday's general audience.
Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, chief rabbi of [the illegal] Efrat ["Jewish" "settlement" in the Palestinian] West Bank, met with the Pope and briefed him on the work of the [so-called] Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation (CJCUC) [which receives extraordinary funding from 'Christian' Evengelicals which is used towards the religious Zionist project].
"We are taking Your Holiness' call to stand in solidarity with our Christian brothers and sisters in Israel and advocating on their behalf," Riskin said, according to a CJCUC statement. He [deceptively] told the Holy Father that the group is looking for ways to alleviate Christians' poverty in Israel and to foster dialogue on issues of faith.
Benedict XVI responded that "we need to work together," the statement informed.

Severe pediatric sepsis is a formidable challenge for critical care specialists who unfortunately see children in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) die from body-wide inflammation and subsequent organ damage that can occur when the immune system responds to infection. Until recently, researchers had not defined the true scope of severe pediatric sepsis worldwide.
Julie Fitzgerald, MD, PhD, a pediatric intensivist, and Scott Weiss, MD, MSCE, an attending physician in Pediatric Critical Care at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, led an international, multicenter prospective point prevalence study called Sepsis, Prevalence, Outcomes, and Therapies (SPROUT) to identify patients admitted to PICUs for severe sepsis and characterize the therapies that they received and their outcomes.
Previous studies that attempted to look at the epidemiology of severe pediatric sepsis used administrative databases based on billing codes or were conducted at single centers. Dr. Fitzgerald and Dr. Weiss received an overwhelmingly positive response three years ago when they approached fellow members of the broad, international Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators Network (PALISI) with their study design. They were eager to get a clearer and bigger picture of severe sepsis that they could rely on to provide baseline data for future interventional trials to improve survival for their patients.
"When we look at our own ICUs, while mortality has gone down, it is still a lot higher than what was being reported in these administrative studies," said Dr. Fitzgerald, who also is an assistant professor at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. "So, in our minds, we were trying to resolve that discrepancy. We wanted to see what other ICUs' experiences were in terms of how much sepsis they had and what their mortality rates were. We thought it was a bigger problem than maybe was being appreciated based on those administrative studies."
They conducted SPROUT in 128 sites from 26 countries and screened a total of 6,925 patients on five days throughout 2013 and 2014. Using consensus criteria for severe pediatric sepsis, the researchers identified 569 patients. Their average age was 3, and 25 percent did not survive, which was much higher than previous administrative studies that reported mortality rates in the 5 percent to 8 percent range.
"Another key feature was the burden of pediatric severe sepsis in ICUs worldwide," said Dr. Weiss, who also is an assistant professor of Anesthesiology, Critical Care, and Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. "We found an overall prevalence of 8.2 percent, which means that your average PICU is treating at least one child with severe sepsis at any one time. So it is an incredibly common cause of pediatric critical illness, and it highlights the ongoing problem of severe sepsis."
With these new estimates, researchers now have a better idea of how many centers and patients would be available for future interventional studies of severe pediatric sepsis. SPROUT also provided data on other outcomes measures such as multiorgan dysfunction syndrome, ventilator days, and the need for vasoactive medications. This information will facilitate better study planning, Dr. Fitzgerald said.
"SPROUT highlights the incredible collaborative spirit of the pediatric critical care community worldwide and the willingness and desire of investigators, even from relatively small sites from across the world, to participate in efforts to better understand the burden of the disease that we're caring for and to ultimately put into place efforts to improve the care that we provide," Dr. Weiss said.
The SPROUT study investigators' work is especially noteworthy because they received no financial compensation for their participation. Dr. Weiss and Dr. Fitzgerald gratefully acknowledged the funding and divisional support from CHOP's Robert Berg, MD, division chief Critical Care Medicine, and Vinay Nadkarni, MD, endowed chair of Critical Care Medicine. CHOP's Center for Pediatric Clinical Effectiveness also provided grant support to help develop the research database to launch the study. They also thanked Jenny Bush, clinical research study coordinator.
The senior author on the study, Neal Thomas, MD, is a leader in the PALISI network and an established clinical scientist in pediatric critical care at Hershey-Penn State. He has been supported by the CHOP Division of Critical Care Medicine to mentor junior faculty at CHOP, including Drs. Weiss and Fitzgerald.
Results from the SPROUT study appeared online in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

There has been a massive surge in illegal ivory trading, researchers warned last week. They have found that more than 14,000 products made from the tusks and other body parts of elephants were seized in 2009, an increase of more than 2,000 on their previous analysis in 2007.
Details of this disturbing rise have been revealed on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the world ivory trading ban. Implemented on 18 January 1990, it was at first credited with halting the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of elephants.
But the recent growth in the far east's appetite for ivory – a status symbol for the middle classes of the region's newly industrialised economies – has sent ivory prices soaring from £150 a kilogram in 2004 to more than £4,000.
At the same time, scientists estimate that between 8% and 10% of Africa's elephants are now being killed each year to meet the demand. The world's largest land animal is again threatened with widespread slaughter.
"It is a really worrying situation," said Richard Thomas, director of Traffic, the group that monitors trade in wildlife. "However, it is not absolutely clear what should be done." Indeed, the issue is so confused that a conflict over the ivory trade is expected at March's meeting of Cites, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
A key source of contention will be the future of legitimate stockpile sales of ivory that have been permitted by international agreement. Killing elephants for their tusks is illegal, but selling ivory from animals that have died of natural causes has been permitted on occasions. In 2008 a stockpile of tusks – from Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe – was bought by dealers from China and Japan. The sale, of 105,000 kilograms of ivory, raised more than £15m.
But now countries including Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo are to call for a ban of these stockpile sales at the Cites meeting. They say such trade – albeit sporadic – only increases demand for ivory goods and is responsible for triggering the recent rise in illegal trade and the killing of thousands of elephants across Africa.

Don't let the winter weather keep you from getting outside! Anne Geraghty (and several other local birding experts) will lead two field trips in search of golden eagles in Buffalo County and snowy owls in Dunn County.
On Saturday Jan 28, we'll meet in Alma then head up into the bluff country in search of golden eagles. Trip runs 11:30-2:30. On Sunday Jan 29, we'll meet in Menomonie and scour the nearby countryside for snowy owls. Trip runs 3:00-5:00. In each case, we'll have local experts helping us track down birds they've seen in the area. While there's no guarantee, we're very optimistic about finding our target birds. We may also encounter other winter specialties such as rough-legged hawks, northern shrikes, or snow buntings. At a very minimum, it will be an informative afternoon spent with other area birders!

FIR against Kiran Bedi
Allegations of cheating and misappropriation of funds against the Team Anna member, who claims she'll come out clean
Allegations of cheating and misappropriation of funds against the Team Anna member, who claims she'll come out clean
Delhi police on Sunday filed a case of cheating against Team Anna member Kiran Bedi, for allegedly misappropriating funds meant for her NGOs, in line with a court's directive. The activist however claims she has 'sound evidence and endurance' to deal with the FIR.
Trust to mistrust
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Amit Bansal had directed the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police to register the case against Bedi on a complaint by Delhi-based lawyer Devinder Singh Chauhan, who has alleged that she has 'looted' various para-military forces and state police organisations in the name of imparting free computer training through 'Meri Police' under the banner of her trust India Vision Foundation.
In his complaint, Chauhan had alleged that Bedi had received donations of over Rs 50 lakh from Microsoft in the name of free computer training to the kids and families of the personnel of BSF, CISF, ITBP, CRPF and other state police organisations.
Chauhan alleged that Bedi is liable to be prosecuted for various offences including sections 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 477A (falsification of accounts) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC.
Reacting to the court order, Bedi tweeted: "I am informed an FIR is registered against me. For me now nothing is a surprise! It only strengthens my resolve to do more."
Travel travails
Earlier, Bedi was caught in a travel bill controversy for reportedly travelling economy class while claiming the charges of business class on a flight. Bedi on October 24 said she would return the excess airfare, which was paid to her by her sponsors and had been used by her to fund a charity organisation.

On Sunday 8th August this year's Open Show competition will open to the general public. Featuring an array of work from all ages – Leeds Art Gallery will be displaying the finalists' work from this weekend.
More than 600 children and young people from 22 schools across Leeds submitted paintings, tapestries, drawings and sculptures to be considered for this year's annual show. Find Your Talent have supported workshops across the city, which have resulted in an exceptionally high standard of entries from children and young people in Leeds.
Curated by the Leeds Met Gallery's Young Curator's Group, the under 18s section of the show will be displayed in the upstairs Number 14
Gallery alongside other submissions in the adult category; all children and young people's work has been professionally framed especially for the show.
This year's Open Show will be judged as part of the Yorkshire Evening Post's People's Choice Award. Voting slips and a ballot box will be available to visitors throughout the show, which runs until September 19th. The winner of 2010's competition will be announced before the end of the exhibition.
Cllr Adam Ogilvie, Executive Board Member for Leisure commented:
"Much of this year's excellent artwork has come through local workshops which have helped develop the already burgeoning talent in Leeds' primary and secondary schools. It is heartening to see so many gifted young artists' work sitting alongside adult submissions – and matching them in quality, innovation, creativity and depth. This year's Open Show has proved to be a resounding success".
A private view for the children and young people's show takes place on Friday afternoon.
Opening times are: Monday & Tuesday 10am – 5pm; Wednesday 12pm – 5pm; Thursday – Saturday 10am – 5pm; Sunday 1pm – 5pm; and closed on bank holidays.

Young people from residential care homes in Leeds are shaping the Find Your Talent programme for Looked After Children across the city. The range of creative interests that young people have shared with us over the past six months reveals their passion for culture and a clear demand for opportunities to develop their creative skills.
All FYT Leeds work in residential care homes is developed in consultation with young people and currently includes keyboard and music lessons; a mini outdoor stage; drama workshops; textile and screen printing; and cultural visits to museums and galleries.
This strand of Looked After Children work is committed to providing cultural opportunities for young people in every Leeds City Council (LCC) care home and is delivered in partnership with LCC's Out-Of-School Activities team.
Visitors to this blog will be aware that the new Government is making wide ranging cuts. Today we heard that the final year of Find Your Talent is one of the victims of these cuts and affects all ten pathfinders across the country. We are yet to hear the final implications of this on the programmes we have been developing.
We are sorry to share this bad news, especially as with our wide range of project partners we have built some great relationships and delivered real change to young people's lives.
We are currently working hard to identify what can be salvaged from this and the team is exploring all possibilities to ensure we can deliver as much of the programme as we can. We are trying to work through these issues rapidly and hope to share more information about what we can do and what we can't.
We will be contacting our project partners directly over the next few days but if there are any specific immediate concerns please don't hesitate to contact us and we will tell you as much as we know.
Further updates about these funding cuts and how they are affecting the Leeds pathfinder will be posted on the blog as and when we receive the information.
Leeds Find Your Talent Team
White Rose Learning Centre have worked in partnership with Find Your Talent to deliver the Performing for Success Arts Award in the Morley area of Leeds.
This term Performing for Success has worked with the singer/songwriter Danny Gough to write and perform original lyrics which were recorded onto a CD. Pupils were also given backstage tours of Leeds' historic venues and attended a performance of VOICES: The Forty Part Motet by Janet Cardiff at the Howard Assembly Rooms in Leeds.
Next term the project goes across the city to be replicated out in two other learning centres where the focus will be on radio production, poetry and martial arts; all of which will be accredited through the Arts Award scheme.
The only word I know that rhymes with culture
I ain't no beast though,
Culture to me is …
The way I dress,
What I eat,
The way I make a mess,
Who I meet,
The way I speak,
How I do,
The way I seek,
What I pursue,
Whether I can,
I am who I am.
This fantastic poem was created as part of the Find Your Talent children and young people's reference group at West Yorkshire Playhouse in April.
The sessions, run by The Project / Youth Association involved young people aged 12-20 from Inner North West Leeds and explored perceptions of art and culture.
This creative approach investigated the role of art and culture in young people's lives and an ambassador's group has been formed, Arts Uncovered, which will ensure that children and young people have a voice in the decision making process for all of Find Your Talent's aims in Leeds.
The Arts Uncovered ambassador's group will engage with children and young people in Leeds, encouraging them to access culture in the city, and will also visit Breeze on Tour whilst participating with the Follow Alex campaign on Facebook.
Find Your Talent have been working in partnership with ArtForms and the Gifted and Talented National Strategies team on CPD (Continuing Professional Development) around Talent in the Arts.
The 'Talent in the Arts' project is focused on enhancing classroom practice to create a challenging experience for the benefit for all pupils. The involvement of a professional artist helps to develop teachers' confidence and extends and broadens the curriculum.
During the Summer Term, Year 3 and 4 class teachers from Morley and Seacroft Manston schools will work alongside visual artist, Steve Pool, on Talent in the Arts: Visual Art.
The school's teachers will be supported by the artist to identify children who are demonstrating talent within visual art. The programme challenges perceptions about what "talent" looks like and which children are considered to be talented.
The identified children from across the schools will spend a day at Leeds Art Gallery working with Steve Pool, the resulting work will support Open Show which is taking place there over the summer.
Talent in the Arts: Drama, is currently taking place with 6 schools from across the city.
The information generated from the Talent in the Arts programmes will form the basis of a resource for all Leeds schools, to be disseminated from September 2010. It will also support a year long focus on raising the profile of "talent" in the arts in the Leeds localities.
Find Your Talent are funding and supporting an innovative project that was piloted in May 2009 at Leeds Metropolitan University Gallery.
The Young Curators project is a unique opportunity that connects young people aged 16 – 19 interested in art, design and museums to an ambitious programme of activities including creating their own exhibition. Through FYT support Young Curators is now able to build on the successes of its first year and engage more young people in this vibrant project.
During the project – which ran for nine months – six young people from the Leeds area visited exhibitions, took part in workshops, and organised an inspirational event at the Leeds Met Gallery, titled It's Not The End Of The World .
The group of aspiring curators and artists worked together alongside experienced gallery staff and freelance artists (and curators) producing an exhibition that borrowed work from the Arts Council Collection and related works by Yorkshire artists.
Taking part in Young Curators helps to build confidence, develops skills in public speaking, research, project management and writing. It can also provide an invaluable hands-on approach to event management and planning.

Quarterly Report
- Major 4.4 million tonnes lithium carbonate (LCE) JORC Resource released at the Kachi Lithium Brine Project with 1.0 million tonnes Indicated and 3.4 million tonnes Inferred resource categories.
- Kachi brine resource amongst the Top 10 global lithium brine resources, based on 15 holes (3150 metres) to depths of 400 metres in permeable sands.
- Phase 1 Engineering Study showed US$2600/tonne LCE operating costs (+/-30%) with Lilac Solutions direct lithium extraction process for the Kachi lithium brine.
- Rapid, robust, low-cost process Lilac option for producing lithium at Kachi generating a brine concentrate of over 25,000 mg/L lithium.
- Exploration Target defined at Kachi with 8-17 million tonnes LCE potential over a 20km x 15km area.
- Cauchari and Olaroz drilling program outlined for the coming months adjoin large scale lithium brine resources Orocobre production (ASX:ORE) and Ganfeng/Lithium Americas pre-production areas (NYSE:LAC).
- Drilling continues at Cauchari to test extensions of adjoining world-class brine resources.
- Leases expanded to over 200,000 hectares with four lithium projects in prime locations in Argentina, including an increase of 25% at Kachi.
- Funding of $1.25 million raised in December in notes and options conversions.
Lake Resources NL is an exploration and development company with one of the largest lithium lease holdings in Argentina recently expanded to over 200,000 hectares with four prime lithium projects: 3 brine projects and 1 hard rock project.
The Kachi Lithium Brine Project has a recently announced maiden resource of 4.4 million tonnes lithium carbonate (LCE) within an exploration target of 8-17 million tonnes LCE, within consolidated mining leases enlarged to cover 69,000 hectares over almost an entire salt lake. This places the resource amongst the Top 10 global lithium brine resources (see Figure 2 in link below).
The Olaroz-Cauchari and Paso Projects in Jujuy province are adjacent to Orocobre and Ganfeng/Lithium Americas and are being drilled for the first time. The objective is to show that extensions to known major resources of over 15 million tonnes LCE continue into Lake's properties.
The Catamarca Pegmatite Lithium Project, recently enlarged to over 80,000 hectares, is at an early exploration stage and displays large pegmatite swarms over an area of past production within a 150km long belt.

About Lake Resources NL
Lake Resources NL (ASX:LKE) is a lithium exploration and development company focused on developing its three lithium brine projects and hard rock project in Argentina, all owned 100%. The leases are in a prime location among the lithium sector's largest players within the Lithium Triangle, where half of the world's lithium is produced. Lake holds one of the largest lithium tenement packages in Argentina (~200,000Ha) secured in 2016 prior to a significant 'rush' by major companies. The large holdings provide the potential to provide consistent security of supply demanded by battery makers and electric vehicle manufacturers.
The Kachi project covers 69,000 ha over a salt lake south of FMC's lithium operation and near Albemarle's Antofalla project in Catamarca Province. Drilling at Kachi has confirmed a large lithium brine bearing basin over 20km long, 15km wide and 400m to 800m deep. Drilling over Kachi (currently 16 drill holes, 3100m) has produced a maiden indicated and inferred resource of 4.4 Mt LCE (Indicated 1.0Mt and Inferred 3.4Mt) within a 8-17 Mt LCE exploration target (refer ASX announcement 27 November 2018).
A direct extraction technique is being tested in partnership with Lilac Solutions, which has shown 80-90% recoveries and lithium brine concentrations in excess of 3000 mg/L lithium and is planned to be trialled on site in tandem with conventional methods as part of a PFS to follow the resource statement. Scope exists to unlock considerable value through partnerships and corporate deals in the near term.
The Olaroz-Cauchari and Paso brine projects are located adjacent to major world class brine projects either in production or being developed in the highly prospective Jujuy Province. The Olaroz-Cauchari project is located in the same basin as Orocobre's Olaroz lithium production and adjoins Ganfeng Lithium/Lithium Americas Cauchari project, with high grade lithium (600 mg/L) with high flow rates drilled immediately across the lease boundary.
Two drill rigs are currently drilling at Cauchari with results anticipated to extend the proven resources in adjoining properties into LKE's area with results anticipated from November into December 2018. This will be followed by drilling extensions to the Olaroz area in LKE's 100% owned Olaroz leases.
Significant corporate transactions continue in adjacent leases with development of Ganfeng Lithium/Lithium Americas Cauchari project with Ganfeng announcing a US$237 million for 37% of the Cauchari project previously held by SQM. Nearby projects of Lithium X were acquired via a takeover offer of C$265 million completed March 2018. The northern half of Galaxy's Sal de Vida resource was purchased for US$280 million by POSCO in June 2018. These transactions imply an acquisition cost of US$55-110 million per 1 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in resources.
The demand for lithium continues to be strong for lithium ion batteries in electric vehicles, according to recent data from the leading independent battery minerals consultant, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. Supply continues to be constrained suggesting good opportunities for upstream lithium companies.

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam preps meeting on Saturday about protesters dialogue initiative
- The Standard (Hong Kong)
- Visto: 3074
Hong Kong, Aug.21.– The Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor is reported to have invited dozens of prominent figures to a meeting on Saturday to discuss her proposal to set up a platform for dialogue to try to defuse the political crisis brought on by the extradition bill, RTHK reports.
However, Lam is facing an uphill battle as one protesters' group has said it will not attend any such talks, calling it a trap.
A source told RTHK that about 20 to 30 people have been invited to Saturday's meeting – including former chief secretary Henry Tang, ex-transport chief Anthony Cheung, former Legco president Tsang Yok-sing, Cardinal John Tong, and university heads Stephen Cheung and Ronald Chin.
They are expected to discuss how to set up a platform for dialogue. Henry Tang has already said he would be happy to act as a host for the platform ...

Cordless Blinds, Shades, & Window Treatments
- The safest bet in blinds and shades
- Child and pet friendly without cords
- Clean, elegant look without cord clutter
- Gentle push/pull lift from bottom rail
- Simple, convenient operation
Cordless blinds and shades offer a convenient and safe option now available on most styles of window treatments. Instead of a traditional lift cord, the shade is operated with a gentle push or pull on the bottom rail to position the shade at any height. With no dangling cords, shades are safer for children and pets and have a clean, uncluttered look. Simply select the cordless option when customizing your shade and be sure you can reach the window at the maximum height you would raise the shade - if not, consider a motorized window treatment.

We love tomatoes! Whether it's a bowl of pasta with homemade sauce or fried green tomatoes we love them in any and every possible way. Recently I decided to do something a little different. I decided to try my hand at tomato chips. Yep, you read that right, tomato chips. I don't buy chips because it's too easy to sit and consume an entire bag before you realize what you are doing but with tomato chips you don't have to worry about the added fat, cholesterol or preservatives. The super cool thing about these chips is that you can also grind them into powder. My kids say it smells like spaghetti in a jar because of the herbs used. Once ground you can add tomato powder to soups, meats, eggs, anything you want, the possibilities are endless. Customize them to your liking, use different herbs and spices, go nuts!

Lisa Y – Pizza and a Movie
Watching a good movie while enjoying a homemade pizza is a common occurrence in our house and since no picky eating is allowed it's easy to try different toppings with success.
One of our favorite movies is Secondhand Lions. It's the story of a young boy who gets uprooted to live with relatives he doesn't know and the adventures that follow. Since this movie takes place in Texas and because we're in Texas it made sense to create a pizza using leftover brisket. After all, there is nothing like Texas brisket! Hope you enjoy the movie and the pizza as much as we did.
What's in the Bento box?
Now that school has started I'm back to making lunches for the kids because let's face it cafeteria food is…well cafeteria food! My children have never been picky eaters because we've never dumbed down their food. What we eat they eat! This ol' gal doesn't do multiple meals. Because of that our kids are much more open to trying things most of their contemporaries won't touch and quite honestly it makes my life much easier. I do have to be honest with you though. Our food philosophy has created borderline food snobs, but hey, worse things could happen ya know?!

Homemade Onion Powder
A couple of days ago I was standing at the stove making dinner when I glanced over to the counter and realized that I had 7 onions. "Hmmmm…", I thought to myself, "I need to get rid of those." My Mom had already asked for a couple so that solved part of the issue. I then checked my onion stash in the freezer only to realized I still had 10-1cup portions already frozen. Then, suddenly, I had an "Aha!" moment. Not a major aha like the solution to world piece or how to eat 15lbs. a chocolate a day and not gain weight, just a little aha that would ultimately save me money and expand our basket goodies even more.

Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions, drain, toss in 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil and set aside.
*To shell fava beans remove beans from pod and blanch in salted boiling water approximately 3 minutes, submerge in ice water and remove white outer shell.*
Heat 1 TBS. olive oil over medium high heat. Add calamari rings, stir to coat in oil and cook approximately 2 minutes. Remove from pan (leaving liquid in pan) and place into a bowl, set aside. To the remaining liquid in the pan add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add white wine and clams, continue cooking until all of the clams open (discard any clams that do not open). Remove clams from pan and place in bowl with calamari rings. To the wine reduction in the pan add the cream, fava beans, white pepper, and tarragon. Reduce heat and stir to incorporate ingredients. Return calamari and clams back into the pan and cook approximately 2-3 minutes or until reduction sauce has thickened.
Serve over cooked pasta. Mangia!
Sauteed Mushrooms
Eggplant Meatballs
Have you ever tried eggplant in your meatballs? It adds a nice depth to the flavor, and has the extra benefit of adding a little bit of health to your dinner.
Eat Your Greens!
Though it's no new discovery that vegetables are beneficial to ones health, did you know that greens, when eaten regulartly will improve your health. Greens are filled with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and plant-based substances all of which play an important role in the maintenance and well being of your body. Without a doubt the fastest and easiest way to incorporate greens into our diets is by way of the salad. Now most people when they think of salad they think of the basics: ice berg lettuce, tomatoes, maybe a few slices of purple onion and a crouton or two. What they don't realize is that there not only are some greens not actually green but there are dozens of varieties to choose from. Here we'll go over some of the most commonly used and their care.
Lettuces are one of the oldest vegetables known to man. They are grown and sold worldwide and are members of the genus Lactuca. The most common of the lettuce families are butterhead, crisp head, leafy, and romaine.
Types of Lettuce
Boston and Bibb
The most common of the butterhead variety, Boston and Bibb posses soft leaves and feature a buttery texture and flavor. Boston is larger than bibb but both for cuts and are excellent choices to be used in making lettuce wraps.
Crisp Head
The most common of all lettuces, iceberg falls under the crisp head category. It possess a mild flavor, remains crisp for long periods of time and lends itself well to hearty dressings.
Red and Green
Distinguishable by it's separate ruffle edge leaves, leaf lettuce is not a firm head. It's rather delicate, therefore, can be easily damaged. Leaf lettuce can be found in both red and green varieties and are known for their mild flavor and tender leaves.
I like to call Romaine the backbone of all the lettuce family. It's hearty, flavorful, and versatile. Romaine is a loosely packed head with long leaves and thick ribs. The outside leaves are dark and you will see a noticeable fading as you get into the center of the head, or the "heart" of the romaine.
Living Lettuce
Though not new in the culinary world, living lettuce is finally making it's way to dinner tables across the United States. Living lettuce is grown hydroponic and sold with the root system in tact. if you happen to have a green thumb you can maintain the lettuce for quite awhile if you just pull off leaves as needed. The most commonly used living lettuce varieties are butter and bibb but if you look around you can also find arugula, green leaf lettuce, red leaf lettuce, Boston lettuce and watercress.
Other Greens
Edible Flowers
The most common and easiest to find are nasturtiums, calendulas, and pansies. They are often used in salads or as garnish.
****Be mindful to ONLY use edible, pesticide free blossoms.***
When most people think of spinach they see visions of Popeye and the overcooked spinach that he always ate. Truth be told, spinach is terribly under appreciated but incredibly versatile. Whether tossed in a salad, sauteed with bacon or added to stuffing, spinach possesses a rich flavor and tender bite.
Spring Mix(aka Mesclun)
A mixture of a variety of baby greens that posse very subtle flavors much less bitter than their more mature counterparts.
Sometimes known as rocket arugula is actually a member of the cabbage family. It's strong spicy flavor lends itself best to salad mixes when eaten raw but can be quite delightful when sauted.
A member of the chicory family, endive can be found in a a couple of varieties, Belgian and curly. Belgian is the shoot of the chicory root. The leaves are normally seperated and filled though whole heads can also be grilled or braised.
Delicate leaves on hearty stems, watercress has a very peppery flavor and can be tossed into salads, added to cream cheese, soups and most savory dishes what do not require extended cooking times.
Most commonly identified by it's large ruffled/curly leaves kale possess a bitter flavor that goes well with rich foods but is a nice accent to salads and soups and can sometimes be found in it's ornamental variety (also known as Savoy).
Somewhat tart and almost spinach like, chard is essentially a type of beet that does not produce a root. It can be steamed, sauteed or used in soups and salads.
Care and Storage
Please keep in mind that all salad greens are highly perishable and need to be handled properly in order to maintain a reasonable shelf life. Soft leaved varieties tend to perish more quickly than their heartier leaved counterparts. Do not store greens with tomatoes, apples or other fruits that emit ethylene gas as it will accelerate spoilage. All greens should be vinegar washed after they are torn and prior to using. Drain thouroughly either in a colander or a salad spinner as wet greens do not stay crisp, they do not hold dressing, and they will go bad much more quickly than dried leaves. Once dried store in an airtight container.
Don't forget to eat your greens!
Eggplant and Pasta Incaciata
Eggplant and Pasta Incaciata is a traditional Italian dish that can be as varied as homemade tomato sauce. Some variations will contain chicken livers, some will have ricotta cheese, some use bread crumbs and some will use different pasta. The trick is to make it your own!
2 med.-lg. eggplant (or 1 med. eggplant and 2 Chinese eggplant)
1cp extra virgin olive oil
1 box penne pasta
2lb. Italian sausage
**16ozs. tomato sauce
1/2 grated Romano cheese
1 1/2cps. shredded mozzarella cheese
**(I used homemade tomato sauce that I had previously canned so it already contained garlic and herbs. If you are using plain tomato sauce be sure to add garlic, basil, oregano, sea salt, and cracked pepper to taste.)
Boil pasta and cook until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat saute' pan or grill to med. high heat. Thinly slice eggplant (vertically). Brush each side with olive oil. Saute or grill both sides until slightly limp. Set aside.
Brown sausage over med. high heat until cooked throughout, set aside.
Lightly oil the sides and bottoms of a springform pan. Layer bottom and sides of pan with eggplant allowing pieces to hang over the sides.
In a bowl combine pasta, meat, Romano cheese, and tomato sauce.
Pour pasta mixture into the eggplant lined pan and smooth. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of pasta and cover with eggplant pieces that are hanging over the rim.
Cover with plastic wrap and place a plate or pie pan on top to weigh it down. Place in refrigerator to rest several hours or overnight.
Heat oven to 350*. Remove plastic wrap and weight. Cook approximately 45 min. Allow to rest 10-15min. prior to cutting.

Bountiful Banana Granola Cookies
Sooooo, you have bananas that very very ripe and you are walking over to the trash can to toss them out…STOP…DON'T DO IT! There is never a good reason to toss an overripe banana. You can easily toss them in the freezer (either in the peel or in a freezer bag) for use in banana bread, banana muffins, or better yet….COOKIES! These are without a doubt the easiest cookies you will EVER make and the the beauty part (aside from the whole using overripe banana thing) is that they only take 2 ingredients. Yep, TWO ingredients. Now I can't take total credit for the two ingredient cookie concept. I saw it last week (maybe the week before) and I thought it was a great idea but wasn't overly thrilled w/the idea of using plain ol' everyday oatmeal. So I thought to myself, "Self, what can we do to jazz this up a bit?" Then, as I glanced around the kitchen the rays of joyful light were extruding from the bag of cherry pecan granola that had been tucked away. THAT'S IT! Cookies made using only ingredients from Bountiful Baskets….SAAAWWWEEETTT!
2 over ripe banans
2cups of Bountiful Baskets granola (any flavor will work)
**I added a handful of pecans because I'm nutty like that!
*Technically you can toss in a little brown sugar, chocolate chips, cranberries, raisins, etc. whatever your heart desires as long as all of the ingredients remain moist.
Place granola in a mixing bowl and add bananas. Incorporate ingredients until completely moist and drop by tablespoons onto a non stick silicone lined baking sheet. Bake at 350* for apprx. 15 min. Remove from the oven and allow to cool (SERIOUSLY, hot granola is REALLLLLLLYYYY hot, trust me on this one ok?!) Now pour yourself a nice cold glass of milk and enjoy.

Cloud Computing Definition is that it is a shared pool of configurable computing resource (eg. networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) network on demand over the internet. Cloud computing literally, is the use of remote servers (usually accessible via the Internet) to process or store information. Access is usually using a Web browser. Save files on a server via the Internet is one example.
Cloud computing is the best solution to manage your applications yourself; it is a shared multi-tenant platform that is supported. When using an application running in the cloud, you simply connect to it, customize it and use it.
Today, Millions of us are happy to use a variety of applications in the cloud, such as applications of CRM, HR, accounting, and even business applications.These applications based in the cloud can be operational in a few days is not possible with traditional enterprise software. They are cheap because you do not have to invest in hardware and software,or to spend money for the configuration and maintenance of complex layers of technology or to finance facilities to run them. And they are more scalable, more secure and reliable than most applications. In addition, upgrades are supported, so that your applications automatically benefit from all the improvements of safety and performance available, as well as new features.
The advantage of cloud computing is two fold.It is a file backup shape.It also allows working on the same document for several jobs (one person or a nomad traveling) of various types (or PC, tab or smartphone).
Cloud computing simplifies usage by allowing overcoming the constraints of traditional computer tools (installation and updating of software,storage, data portability...). Cloud computing also provides more elasticity and agility because it allows faster access to ITresources (server,storageor bandwidth) via a simple web portal and thus without investing in additional hardware.
The National Institute of Stands and Technology (NIST) describes cloud computing as "a model" for on-demand network access to computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications and services). Common Cloud Service Models are:
Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS): The user has the possibility to use the service provider's applications over the network.These applications are accessed via different interfaces, thin client, Web browser, mobile devices...The customer manages and does not control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems,databases, storage, but can possibly benefit from access to restricted configurations, specific to user categories.
Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS):The consumer can deploy cloud infrastructure on its own applications. The user manages and does not control the underlying cloud infrastructure (network,servers, operating systems, databases, storage), but has control over the deployed applications and the ability to configure the environment of application hosting.
Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): The client can rent storage, processing power, network and other computing resources.The user manages and does not control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over databases , operating systems, and applications deployed.
Public cloud: This type of infrastructure is accessible to a wide audience and belongs to aprovider of "cloud services."
Private cloud: The cloud infrastructure works for one organization. It can be managed by the company itself (internal Private Cloud). In the latter case, the infrastructure is dedicated to the company and accessible via secure VPN-type networks.
The Cloud Community:The infrastructure is shared by several organizations that have common interests (e.gsafety requirements, compliance ...). As private cloud, it can be managed by the organizations them selves or by third parties.
Hybrid cloud: Infrastructure consists of two or more clouds (private, Community or Public), which remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology, enabling data portability or applications.
Cost Reduction: Cloud computing is seen as an incremental investment, companies can save money in the long term by obtaining resources.
Storage increase: instead of purchasing large amounts of storage before the need, organizations can increase storage incrementally, requesting additional disk space on the service provider when the need is recognized.
Resource pooling: in the IT industry, this feature is also known as Multi-tenancy, where many users / clients share a type and varied level of resources.
Highly automated: As the software and hardware requirements are hosted on a cloud provider, IT departments sites no longer have to worry about keeping the things-to-date and available.
Greater mobility: Once the information is stored in the cloud, access it is quite simple, just you have an Internet connection, regardless of where they are located.
Change the IT focus: Once the responsibility of the computing environment has,
essentially shifted to the cloud provider, IT departments can now focus more on the organization's needs and the development of strategic applications and tactics and not on operational needs of the day-to-day.
Towards Green IT: By releasing the physical space, virtualization of applications and servers contributes to the reduction of equipment as well as the need for air conditioning, consequently, less energy waste.
Keep updated things: Similar to change the IT focus, this benefit is because of the new demands of providers cloud services, ie, the focus of providers is to monitor and maintain the most recent tools and techniques for the contractor.
Quick elasticity: this characteristic has to do with the fundamental aspects of Cloud flexibility and elasticity. For example, the web shops carry a standard amount of transactions during the year, but it is necessary to increase near Christmas time. And of course these stores do not want to pay for that capacity at peak during the rest of the year.
Measurement service: which means services monitored, controlled and reported. This feature allows a model of pay-per-use service, or pay for use. It has similarities with the concept of telephone service packages where you pay a standard signature to basic levels, and paid extra for the additional service, without changing the contract.
The various problem areas for cloud computing environments are:
Security: As the data are no longer in their own organization, security becomes a major issue and questions must be answered, such as: Data is protected as adequate? There is a hacker-proof system? Can you meet the requirements regulations and government for privacy? How do you discover the leak information? Note also that corporate governance is always very concerned about the data that is stored outside the organization.
Location and Data Privacy: Where the data is stored? How data is stored? The provider has adequate security for data in places where they are stored?
Internet addiction: Since the cloud features are not available on the local network, you have to worry about the availability of the Internet. If you lose access to the Internet out, what that happens to your cloud computing environment? If your service provider increasing period unavailability, what you do with your employees and customers? What do you do in case of increased latency or delays the answers?
Levels of availability and service: Most organizations are familiar with the agreements service levels. The service level agreement specifies the amount of service capacity that someone has to provide, along with the penalties for not providing this level of service. How you can be sure that the cloud service provider has sufficient resources to maintain a service level agreement you signed with them?

Home » Gear Reviews » Climbing » Climbing Harness » Black Diamond Momentum 3S
The Black Diamond Momentum 3S is designed as an entry-level harness that can do it all and its price and favorable features make it a great value for price conscious climbers. The Momentum's speed buckles ensured a super snug fit and great adjustability to get the harness just right. While considered above average for comfort it still lags just behind the most comfortable harness tested, the Edelrid Orion.
ComfortThe Black Diamond Momentum 3S drew nice reviews from testers for its comfort while climbing and while hanging at belays and working routes. Black Diamond uses a Dual Core construction that features two thin pieces of nylon with a perforated, foam core between them to offer a wide, comfortable waist belt while allowing great breathability. The Momentum's speed buckles ensured a super snug fit and great adjustability to get the harness just right. While considered above average for comfort it still lags just behind the most comfortable harnesses tested, such as the Edelrid Orion.
Adjustability/Smooth BucklesThe Momentum 3S is adjusted with three speed buckles that are easy to use and quickly adjusted, allowing for a personalized, snug fit. Testers found the buckles easy to adjust when putting on although then can be somewhat difficult to undo once snugged.
Leg LoopsWide, comfortable padding graces the leg loops of the Momentum and testers found the leg loops to be comfortable for climbing and hanging. Speed buckles were appreciated by most testers and allow the Momentum to be more versatile according to the season or amount of clothing worn.
Gear LoopsThe Momentum has four contoured, protruding gear loops that are easy to clip and find. The gear loops are on the smaller side and most testers found the Momentum to be lacking for anything more than sport climbing. Trad climbers looking to carry gear on their harness, particularly for long routes, may find the space on the Momentum's gear loops to be lacking.
WeightAt 13 ounces, the Momentum 3S was one of the lightest harnesses tested, weighing exactly the same as the Petzl Sama.
Other FeaturesThe Momentum has a nice, easy to clip, high strength haul loop on the back of the harness. Traditional and big wall climbers looking for a harness that can appropriately carry a tag line or other equipment will appreciate the Momentum's haul loop. Otherwise, the Momentum lacks other features found on some harnesses, such as ice clippers.
ValueAt $59.95, the Momentum was the cheapest harness tested and thanks to its favorable features was widely concerned a great value among testers.

Collegiettes' Craziest, Funniest Walk of Shame Stories
You wake up in an unknown bed wearing last night's clothes—or worse, wearing nothing at all. You turn to your side and see the body of a guy you might have just met the night before (sadly, he's not as cute as he looked via your drunk goggles). Your mouth is dry, your eyes are burning, and your head is pounding—you'd do anything for a tall glass of water, a pair of comfy pjs, and a ride home. But chances are, the dreaded walk of shame stands between you and all those things. You're not alone, we've all been there. Read on to hear about other collegiettes' crazy, funny, or just plain weird walks of shame.
From sequin minis to clown costumes, we always seem to be wearing outfits that were not intended for wearing in broad daylight.
"My best walk of shame was after an 80's party. I had to walk halfway across campus in the morning in zebra print leggings and a pink tube top, carrying my heels. It was snowing and I walked by three tours." - Sarah, Michigan State University
"So this didn't happen to me, but I witnessed it. Freshman year my room had the perfect view of all the other freshman dorms. One Sunday around lunchtime, I happened to glance out the window. It was pouring outside, like bad New England style with puddles everywhere. Then I noticed this girl walking to the dorm directly in front of mine. She had a black mini skirt on, one heel (the other was in her hand), and a glittery tank-top. Her hair had probably been in a clean stylish up-do the night before, but it looked like she hadn't brushed her hair in 3 days. She had a purse in the other hand and I'm pretty sure her skirt was twisted sideways. The poor girl was trampling home in the rain, midday. The humiliation! I guarantee I was not the only person watching." - Marion, Boston College
"I went to a Halloween party dressed like a sexy clown, partied a little too hard, and slept over my boyfriend at the time's dorm room. Needless to say, I had to do the walk of shame with a smeared red nose, striped socks, a super short polka dot dress and heels in hand. Not my proudest moment!" - Claire, Penn State University
"During my freshman year (obviously, my most shameful year in terms of hook-ups), for some reason I would only ever have to do the walk-of-shame when it was either raining or after a themed costume party. This being said, my worst walk-of-shame ever was the ever-feared November 1st: the morning after Halloween. I had gone out as a not-so-innocent Alice in Wonderland, and regretfully made the decision to stay the night at my current hook-up's dorm. The next morning, not only was it freezing outside, but it was also pouring down rain, thus leaving me no choice. Yes, I borrowed my hook-up's rain-coat which, as you can imagine, was longer than my costume, forcing me to traipse across campus seemingly naked to onlookers." - Chloe, New York University
"It was the weekend before my birthday and my friends and I were out celebrating at a club. I ended up going home with a guy and begged him for a ride home in the morning when I realized how far away his place was from mine. He said no so I began my birthday walk of shame with a tiara in hand. Halfway back to my place, I ran into a girl who was wearing an oversized men's tee and carrying her high heels. I laughed, smiled, and said "good, you too." We instantly bonded. I was happy to hear she didn't even think I was on a walk of shame. This poor girl was so embarrassed and ashamed but I think I helped ease her nerves by chatting about our nights, our majors, and life in general. Lucky for her she only had to walk about a block, I on the other hand, had to walk all the way across campus. I almost wore my birthday tiara from the night before just to spice things up a bit. Imagine the stares I would have gotten!" - Megan, University of Southern California
Humiliation Saving Tip #1: Bring a change of clothes if you think you're going to spend the night out.
If you don't plan these things (most of us don't), ask the guy if you can borrow a pair of sweats. At the very least, wash the smeared makeup off your face and tame the wild post-hook-up hair.


text: GOV'T MULE KICK DOWN BAMA THEATRE DOORS Linda Johnson September 18, 2014 Features, Music, Reviews GOV'T MULE KICK DOWN BAMA THEATRE DOORS Having lived my entire life in Tuscaloosa, I can say without any hesitation that the Bama Theatre is by far the best venue in the city. It really is the center for artistic culture in West Alabama. The Italian décor of the stage and night-sky ceiling adds an air of intimacy that really connects the performers and audience together in a way very few venues can. Whether you are watching a play, an independent film or a band performance, the Bama Theatre seems to encourage audience engagement more than any other stage I have ever seen. On October 2nd, this historic Tuscaloosa landmark will host an artist that is all too familiar with the importance of audience engagement. Gov't Mule has been a staple of the jamband scene and festival circuit since the middle of the 1990's. A band that embodies the do-it-yourself spirit of rock n' roll troubadours of the past, Gov't Mule bases their sound in the blues rock/early hard rock of power trios such as Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, though their influences also include groups like the Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. Like most other jambands, their constant touring and ever-changing sets have earned them a devoted following, especially here in the South. The key figure behind Gov't Mule is guitarist and lead vocalist Warren Haynes. Haynes has had a long and eventful career in music, even before Gov't Mule ever came into existence. When he was just 20 years old, he joined country musician David Allan Coe's touring and recording band as the lead guitarist. After touring with Coe for several years, Haynes joined the former Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts solo project. When The Allman Brothers Band reformed in 1989, Betts recruited Haynes to be the second guitar player for the band. Though Betts eventually left the band, Haynes remains a member of the Allman Brothers to this day, although he has announced he will leave the band after this year. He has also toured with The Dead, the remaining members of the Grateful Dead. Warren Haynes formed Gov't Mule in 1994 as a side project initially. He was joined by bassist Allen Woody and drummer Matt Abts. Woody also played with the Allman Brothers, and Abts had been the drummer for Dickey Betts. They released a self-titled debut a year later, and followed with several live albums throughout the 90's. Woody died in 2000, just after Mule released the album Life Before Insanity. He would eventually be replaced by Andy Hess, formerly of the Black Crowes. In 2002, Danny Louis joined as a keyboard player, expanding the line up to four members. Hess left the band in 2008 and was replaced by Jorgen Carlsson. Many other famous musicians have played with Gov't Mule throughout their existence, including Chuck Leavell, Les Claypool, Oteil Burbridge, Victor Wooten, Billy Gibbons and Jack Bruce. Warren Haynes last came to Tuscaloosa with his solo band in 2012. Haynes' solo act is more focused on traditional blues and has a much more reserved performance. Gov't Mule is much heavier, with emphasis on hard rock. There is sure to be quite a scene when they play at the Bama Theatre. I cannot think of a better venue for someone to watch Warren Haynes play guitar. The old style works well for an old soul. The crowd will also be interesting to see. Mule's fanbase contains a healthy mix of older rock fans and younger festival goers. The event is also another sign of the Bama Theatre's continued variety of entertainment options that has defined the venue since the 1970's. As a lifelong resident of Tuscaloosa, I appreciate what they have brought to this city. Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website

Three years ago we moved our internet and phone to Snap! The company had just been voted New Zealand's best ISP, and we liked the fact that their head office was in the South Island. Sure, we're in the North Island, but we're contrary like that.
We were staggered at how good Snap! was. When we phoned, we got a real person within three rings. One of their technical support staff called in favours from colleagues at our previous ISP so we could retain our primary phone number. The customer service was outstanding, at least for this customer.
Three years later we've just moved to fibre, and saw no reason not to stick with Snap! – no reason not to sign up for a 24 month contract. Two weeks later we're not so sure that was a good decision. It seems that over the last three years, customer service at Snap! has changed somewhat.
Our experience
Snap! delivers its fibre connections through a Fritz!Box which it provides. Ours failed three and a half days after installation. We certainly don't blame Snap! for that – a small percentage of hardware failures is unavoidable – but that's only the start of our story.
The failure happened at 3.00am on Tuesday. When we phoned Snap! that morning we were asked to carry out a series of diagnostic tests, which we did. They indicated the box was dead in the water, and we were told a replacement would be sent out overnight.
Imagine our surprise on Wednesday when there was no Fritz!Box and, later in the morning, a call from Snap! asking us to carry out some additional diagnostic tests. We were sanguine about this too: when you puzzle over problems you often come up with new angles. However, the tests only confirmed that the Fritz!Box was history and, again, we were told a replacement would be sent out.
But there was no Fritz!Box on Thursday morning either. When we talked to Snap! they confirmed it was scheduled to be sent, but hadn't been dispatched yet. Why? I don't know, and the friendly support staff didn't seem to know either; but we certainly expected it to arrive on Friday.
Early Friday morning I had to travel to Wellington. When I returned on Saturday evening I was very surprised that no Fritz!Box had yet been delivered. So on Monday I phoned Snap! again. To his credit, the support team member sounded embarrassed to tell me that the replacement Fritz!Box still hadn't been dispatched. He assured me it would be leaving that day by overnight courier, and that I'd receive a text message that afternoon with the tracking number.
The tracking number didn't arrive; I had to phone for it first thing Tuesday morning. Thankfully the replacement Fritz!Box did arrive late morning – a week after the original unit failed – and we were able to stop paying $20 per gigabyte for mobile data to keep the world turning.
This was an expensive exercise for us, and completely avoidable if a replacement box had been dispatched when it was first promised.
Reflecting on this experience, I'm reminded of a line from one of Paul Simon's songs: Everything put together sooner or later falls apart.
I realise that delivering superb customer service is a Sisyphean task. Every day you have to push the same rock to the top of the same hill. Not "most of the rock", not "almost to the top": the same rock, the same hill, every day. As companies grow, maintaining this focus becomes increasingly difficult. The amount of rock and the distance up the hill tends to shrink, almost on a daily basis. Only the very best companies can fuel growth and keep pushing that rock to the top of the hill every day.
The others? Somewhere along the line they Snap! out of it.

Filing an Auto Insurance Claim after an Accident
We know the saying - accidents happen. You never know when they will occur, but it's good to be prepared and know what to do after one happens.
What to Do After an Accident
Let's assume you've been in an accident. You should take the following steps:
First, make sure everyone is ok and call 911 for police and medical assistance. If there is an injury, make sure to get medical attention even if it isn't life-threatening.
Also, a police report can help resolve your auto insurance claim, so make sure to get it no matter what.
Next, if vehicles are movable and there is a shoulder on the road, try to move them there.
Finally, gather license plate numbers, contact information (don't forget phone numbers), auto insurance information, and if possible, take photographs of damages at the scene of the accident. If road conditions or weather were a factor, then try to capture that with a photograph.
Filing an Auto Insurance Claim
Now it's time to navigate the process of filing an auto claim. You should notify your insurance company that the accident has occurred as soon as possible. At 21st Century Insurance, you can do this online or over the phone through the HelpPoint Claim Services by Farmers.
Here are some important steps to remember when filing an auto insurance claim:
Report your claim to HelpPoint Claim Services immediately. You will be assigned an auto insurance claims representative who will help you.
If you have rental car coverage, your claims representative will assist in making arrangements for a rental vehicle.
A vehicle inspection will then occur, at which time an appraiser will write an estimate of damages.
If another vehicle was involved, an investigation will also be conducted. This is where your police report comes in; to help inform investigators to determine what really happened.
By being prepared before an accident, knowing what to do on the scene, and filing an auto insurance claim immediately after an incident, you will stand the best chance of a satisfying claims experience.

Trying New Things
I love experiencing new things, whether it's traveling to a place I've never been before, eating at a new restaurant, or just a new hobby. It's exciting to have some variety in life and to challenge yourself. However, doing something new can also cause anxiety. There are a lot of unknowns — will it work out as planned, will everyone involved have fun, what if something goes wrong, etc. The list of "what ifs" for any given situation can usually stretch miles.
Taking a chance on a new vendor with whom you haven't worked before can be scary. Most people have one shot to get whatever corporate or medical, interactive or traditional, marketing and advertising project they're doing right, whether it's website design and development, video production, animation, or even eLearning platform development with virtual medical simulations. Sometimes you just need to have a little faith and take the leap.
At DDA, we make the jump a lot easier. From the beginning we're honest about what we can and cannot deliver, and our process for every project we undertake is structured in way where the client is given as much control over the project from beginning to end as he or she desires. These factors combined can create near perfect safeguards against any unwanted complications. There's no "we'll build it as we want and then present it to you when complete and say 'tough cookies' if it's not what you want." It's all about what the client wants, and he or she sees it at each stage throughout development so there are no surprises.
So try something new without the fear of it blowing up in your face with DDA. From search engine marketing (SEM) to digital photography, we have exactly what you need, and we also give you even greater flexibility in reaching out to your target audience with Flash conversion and iPad and iPhone friendly development services from AppleSavvy

A: It all started in 2003. I had to do some programming do be done for a Linux Light Client project and I desperatly needed some information. I could not get the needed information, because I had to work my way through thousands of hits. I knew it was out there somewhere and finally I found the needed information after reading hundreds of pages.
Then I was looking for knowledge databases for quite a while and I found a few, but none of them was exactly what I wanted. That's why I decided to work on Lubby.
A: Well, that's something, we would like to garantee. Even the largest projects can't remain independent without sponsoring. Right now, Lubby has been growing continously and we have set ourselves a few new goals. We hope to establish Lubby as a free knowledge base for good. Find more information under Lubby News and in history.
A: All server systems are running a 64-Bit Debian version. You can take a look at the Debian Homepage. Debian is a free Enterprise Linux Distribution.
A: For the Backend, we use a 64-Bit Postgres database. Part of the logic has been written in SQL and C++, for the Web-frontend, we used PHP5 with Prado on a Apache Webserver. In 2010, the Frontend has been migrated to J2EE, running on a Glassfish. Right now, we are working on an Offline-Client, written in C++ with QT libraries.

The New York Times has recently released an article endorsing marijuana legalization, which they then followed with a series of pro-marijuana reform articles. The New York Times also accepted and published an advertisement for a popular marijuana company. Those are great things. However, it's kind of bittersweet considering that the New York Times drug tests its employees for marijuana, despite their expressed support to end marijuana prohibition. The policy is hypocritical to say the least.
Former New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller recently participated in a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' in which the Marijuana Majority asked him how he felt about the discrepancy in the New York Times endorsement and drug testing policy. Below is the question asked, as well as Mr. Keller's response:
"Would you consider signing the petition asking them to match their great new editorial position on the need to stop government discrimination against people who use marijuana with a better internal H.R. policy that doesn't discriminate against people who use marijuana?" the Marijuana Majority asked, referring to their Change.org petition which has, thus far, garnered 4,700 of the desired 5,000 signatures.
"I make a policy of not second-guessing my former colleagues in public, but I agree (and expect a lot of people at the NYT do, too) that the inconsistency is increasingly difficult to defend," Keller replied.
The New York Times' drug testing policy is ridiculous. Just because someone tests positive for marijuana doesn't mean that they were under the influence at work. If someone does something harmful at work, and they are then drug tested, that's one thing. But to arbitrarily test everyone is a bad policy. Hire journalists based upon their skills, not based upon the purity of their urine.
If the New York Times truly supports marijuana legalization, than they will update their policy. Every dollar that they spend on drug testing for marijuana is potentially a dollar that goes to a drug testing company that is fighting very hard to keep prohibition in place to protect its profits. I hope more and more people put pressure on the New York Times, and I hope that every time a media outlet covers their endorsement of legalization that there is someone there to call them out for being hypocrites.
