text: Alright, my friend has an iphone under contract with ATT. I have an unlocked/jailbroken iphone with a local provider. If I needed to go in for warranty work, after verginizing and everything, could my friend bring in my iphone and tell them that it was his second one that he uses as a backup with his iphone service from the first? If we were to put his sim in my phone would it activate the phone and allow it t work like his other one? Also would this cause problems for him when he put his sim back in his phone?

Part one of a new series: Learn how to make your own cigar box guitar for around $25.
Guitar legends choose the one song they'd most want to be remembered by — Part 1.
Richie Kotzen and Mike Portnoy discuss the Winery Dogs' new camp for musicians.
Guitarist Rob Cavestany looks back at the rise, fall and successful rebirth of Death Angel.
It's a collection of the best classic rock songs of all-time, from Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd, to Nirvana, the Allman Brothers Band and the Eagles!
This is the music I grew up on. My first guitar was a Gretsch 6120, and I just loved listening to artists like Elvis, Chuck Berry and Stray Cats. But when I wanted to go make records, it was hard. I couldn't really be on the show [Drake & Josh] and then go in and do a three-piece rockabilly-type record of Fifties music.
I decided to start this off by using the most common saying heard when someone lays their eyes on one of my guitars for the first time (myself included): It's a cigar box guitar! It is played similar to a regular guitar, and it can do almost anything a regular guitar can do; it just takes some creativity and a little imagination, much like the building process.
The new Talkin' Blues DVD is available now at the Guitar World Online Store for $14.99!
Veteran guitarists and the stars of tomorrow tell us the songs they would most want to be remembered by.
In the new May issue, Zakk "The Beast" Wylde and Joe "The Professor" Satriani meet up to riff on their craziest concert moments, Jimmy Page, and the state of rock guitar in 2014. Also, in an excerpt from his new autobiography, Strange Beautiful Music: A Musical Memoir, Satriani recalls the making of tracks from his breakthrough album, Surfing with the Alien.
The origin of heavy metal is a very fuzzy thing, but most historians and fans alike can agree that Black Sabbath's eponymous 1970 debut was the first true heavy metal album. Its thunderous drums, sinister riffs and downright evil lyrics left little to be debated, but what we wanted to know was this: What was the heaviest song before Black Sabbath?

I'm in NZ and have Russian friend with a 1.0.2 iPhone, it must be jailbroken because it runs on the NZ Vodafone network no problem. It doesn't have installer however. I'd like to update him to 1.1.4 but I want to back up his files and contacts first. So, my questions are:
1. Is there a way to get access to a 1.0.2 phone without losing anything (i.e. via SSH, or can SSH be installed without hosing the data)?
2. Will the backups I make be compatible with 1.1.4, i.e. can I just copy them back?
3. Failing 1 & 2 above, can I backup his data onto MY computer via my iTunes and restore it once I've upgraded his phone? I dont want his contacts in my Address Book and vice versa...
Any advice greatly appreciated

UNIDO within the CCA and UNDAF
The Common Country Assessment (CCA) and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for China
The United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for China is a planning framework, which outlines the common objectives and strategies shared by all UN organisations providing development assistance to China. The current UNDAF period is 2006 - 2010 and it coincides with China's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan". The process of UNDAF formulation began in 2003 with the preparation of a Common Country Assessment (CCA), which provides an analysis of the country situation and selects a number of priority areas in which the UN system has comparative advantages and can provide interventions. The CCA was published in 2004. Based on the conclusions reached in the CCA, the UNDAF has been prepared by the UN Country Team (comprised of all resident UN organisations in China). The work was carried out in close cooperation with the Government "Mirror Team" (representatives from all Chinese government counterparts of the UN system). The UNDAF took into consideration China's Eleventh Five-Year Plan, and the strategic themes proposed by the CCA in its formulation of three crosscutting themes, five outcomes, and twenty-one objectives. The crosscutting themes are: equity; gender equality; and global norms, conventions and their mechanisms.
The five UNDAF outcomes are as follows:
- Social and economic policies are developed and improved to be more scientifically based and human-centered for sustainable and equitable growth.
- Enhanced capacities and mechanisms for participation, co-ordination, monitoring and evaluation for effective policy implementation in the social sectors.
- More efficient management of natural resources and development of environmentally-friendly behaviour in order to ensure environmental sustainability (with special focus on energy, biodiversity, and water resources).
- HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria infection and disease rates reduced, care and support for those infected improved, and the rights of those living with HIV/AIDS protected.
- Within the framework of international norms, conventions and their mechanisms, and of the Global Compact, China's role in the international arena is enhanced, including through providing increased levels of South-South Cooperation.
The 21 objectives that have been identified for the UNDAF are together expected to have a discernible impact on achieving the five UNDAF outcomes by reducing disparities, balancing social and economic development, ensuring environmental sustainability, fighting disease, and strengthening China's contribution to the efforts of the international community. Each objective contributes to the attainment of all five outcomes to a varying degree.
Given China's large population, its complex development needs, and the substantial amount of resources China itself commits to resolve these needs, the UN has recognised in the UNDAF that its development cooperation is financially very limited. However, the UN has been able to demonstrate in the past that it can provide timely and appropriate solutions to some of China's concerns and that it can still make an impact. The UNDAF provided the opportunity to think through how the UN can optimise its resources even more.
The CCA/UNDAF process has been invaluable in strengthening the partnership among resident UN agencies by providing them with the opportunity as a team to take a look at China's development in its entirety. At the same time, it has provided the opportunity to identify problems as well as possible approaches to solutions by pooling experience and knowledge that each agency has accumulated while working in China. It has also enabled the team to identify, despite their diverse organisational mandates, a common set of goals and objectives, which can enhance further cooperation among UN agencies in China by preventing duplication and opening up potential for complementing each others activities to maximise impact. The UN Country Team, as well as the Theme Groups, which were established during the CCA process continued to act as the main modalities for UNDAF follow-up.
It has also been agreed that the UNDAF outcomes and objectives would be reflected in the respective programmes of the different UN agencies, as it is the case of UNIDO. A major feature of the UNDAF is that it remains flexible and open to new priorities or situations that may emerge as a result of new developments in China or international initiatives.

House of Mozart
151 S. Barfield, Marco
Here, on Marco Island, we have the House of Mozart Restaurant, which celebrated Mozart's birthday with a special dinner menu on Jan. 27, 2008, and where Mozart's music is heard seven days a week while diners enjoy a light lunch or hearty dinner prepared from scratch by Chef Alfred Schinagl.
The House of Mozart is located in the Shops of Marco at 151 S. Barfield Drive, phone: 642-5220.
Your columnist, an avid admirer of Mozart's music, had no problem with the restaurant's name but curiosity begged that we ask Chef Alfred if there was a common denominator.
"Why Mozart and not something related to the ethereal Viennese desserts to die for that are home-made on premises by your wife, Manuela?" we inquired, remembering the seductive taste of Manuela's warm Apple Strudel or even Crepes "Salzburg," that we enjoyed during another visit.
"Actually," Chef Alfred replied, "The best known Austrian is Mozart and I am Austrian — it seemed a perfect fit."
Actually (aside from the dessert thingy), your columnist was hoping to hear that the mannequin dressed in 18th century clothes and sitting at the keyboard of the antique-appearing piano (at the front of the dining room) had historical significance.
Alas, no, but further inquiry determined that several of the violins displayed on the walls were quite old or antique — one from the 1700s, Chef Alfred said, adding that they were given to Manuela by her father, who was an avid collector
of old violins.
That having been said, Chef Alfred Schinagl formerly owned and operated restaurants in Austria.
"I actually owned one in Graz, the same town that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger comes from, and one in Holland earlier," he said, adding that he sold them in the early '90s before he and Manuela came to the United States.
"In Miami, we rented a car and drove around, looking for a nice place to settle, and our travels brought us to Southwest Florida and the Gulf coast," he said. "Like many people before us, we drove up across the Jolley Bridge and upon seeing the Marco Island's spectacular skyline, our reaction was — wow!"
The Schinagls opened House of Mozart Restaurant in 1993, and since then Chef Alfred has been preparing traditional Austrian (and German, and Italian) specialties for homesick Europeans as well as for diners who appreciate good food no matter its country of origin.
"You know, starting as a young apprentice in Austria is not like it is here. Actually, my grandmother and mother were excellent cooks and that made me interested in working in a kitchen," he began, explaining how he went to an Austrian county like Collier (resort) to Tirol, a town in the Alps that had the best hotels and good restaurants and started his apprenticeship there.
"It was rough, the executive chef was like God — mistreated us, worked us long hours and we had to share our sleeping room with three or four guys. We learned to make everything from scratch — actually, that's what I do here — but there if we made a mistake the chef threw raw eggs at us, like a football game," Chef Alfred related, remembering that sometimes meat was delivered to the kitchen on the hoof — like the time the butcher brought in a little suckling pig. Something startled the animal and it got loose, jumping all over the kitchen, knocking down pots and pans, "Fighting for its life," Chef said, "It was the only time I ever felt like quitting my job — but actually that's life — we're the ones at the top of the food chain!"
That is how it was in those times, Chef Alfred said, "We are the last of those guys, Peter (Marek), myself, even Wolfgang Puck, he went through the same thing. You know, he's from Kaernten, ) a county in the southern part of Austria, I'm from the eastern part."
Austria, a neutral country after the war, was a melting pot because it was in the heart of Europe and bordered by Italy, Yugoslavia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland and Germany, he said, "And every country speaks a different language, of course. That's why a lot of good chefs here — one is a sushi or steak chef, another is a seafood chef — where we have to be versatile rather than specialize."
Simple things (Chef Alfred says they are— they aren't!) like sauerbraten take several days to prepare, he told me. You marinate a beef round roast for three days in red wine, red wine vinegar, brown sugar and special spices (refrigerated) then take it out of this marinade, pat it dry and sear it to keep in the juices, then roast it in a slow oven for three to four hours until tender.
It's a lot of preparation and that's why Chef Alfred is accustomed to making them from scratch. It's the same with his famous Goulash "Vienna," described in the menu as cubes of tender top round beef in a tasty Hungarian-paprika sauce, served with spaetzle and red cabbage.
Your columnist refrained from asking Chef Alfred how he makes his spaetzle because (trust me) it would be another "simple thing" like his goulash — a stew that requires a lot of prep and cooking, he admits.
He also offered the possibility that many of his customers become steadies because, "Our customers would prefer that we would take the time to prepare these classic dishes so they could enjoy them here rather than try to cook them at home. Of course, the main ingredient for every chef is the 'heart,'" he explained, patting his chest for emphasis. "When people remember how good food tasted when cooked by their mother or grandmother — it was because she put her heart in it."
Chef Alfred said that was his secret and offered this bit of advice to up and coming chefs: "Never restrain yourself from trying different ingredients and you'll always be successful."
Chef Alfred confided that he's still excited about food and looks forward daily to cooking at the House of Mozart.
"If I wake up one day not excited about coming to work — I will quit my job!"
He finds it very rewarding when he sees that customers keep coming back, and even bring friends, who are visiting, to have dinner at the restaurant.
"Of course, many of our customers are second and third generation Marco Island residents, a lot with children, and we saw them grow up and come back married — it's an ongoing circle of life."

Holiday Inn can be a good travel value in China, especially in new properties such as in Hohhot. Great rooms for about USD 50 per night, if you are in Inner Mongolia. Travelers, however, should beware, however, of one China Holiday Inn property, the Beijing Lido. In the past, it has been a real Western Oasis, offering good food and service. Management, however, has allowed the hotel decline terribly; witness my recent experience:1. On several occasions, Beijing taxi drivers tried to overcharge me right in the front of the Bell Captain. I had to dispute the fare myself, leaving me to wonder who pays the Bell Hops. The staff does not care.
2. When I arrived at the hotel, the luggage folks were snoozing inside, and offered to help me with my bags, AFTER I had lugged them inside and arrived at the desk.
3. The food at the Patio restaurant, once home to a wonderful buffet, was disgusting. The Chinese fried noodles tasted like a frozen dinner taken from the microwave.
4. The staff at the business center and the concierge staff are clueless about Beijing.
5. Poor and expensive Internet service in the rooms. I am very computer savvy and spent hours wrestling with the awful system. In general, the staff are not very nice.In Beijing, I would recommend hotels closer to the city center, as these are much easier for access to attractions such as Tiananmen Square and museums.

From HOPE, fair fashion in action, a fair trade group
HOPE was born after Gina and Greg Hope witnessed the natural spirit of giving and receiving one October day in India. Their then four-year-old son smiled broadly and handed his too-small clothing to a street boy in New Delhi. The transaction was beyond outward beauty; it was inner purity on both sides. Completely lacking judgment, it was the true nature of giving and receiving. HOPE, Fair Fashion in Action was crystallized that very instant and the plans for a clothing company based on global community began.
HOPE is a member of the Fair Trade Federation.

Chance the Rapper Biography & News
About Chance the Rapper
About Chance The Rapper
Chancellor Bennett, aka Chance The Rapper, is one of the latest to take the hip-hop world by storm, with his 2013 full of high times and wild nights. And his ride is just getting started.
Bennett, who hails from the Windy City of Chicago, is known for his gray hoodies, black skinny jeans, mismatched shoes and wicked sense of humor. Or at least he was. Now, fans cram into venues not to critique his fashion choices or hear him crack jokes, but instead to perform clever rhymes and dance moves. Their rowdy approval is voiced at every show, fueling the man whose debut mixtape (2011's #10Day) made the world sit up and pay attention.
Bennett has told the story of how that aforementioned mixtape was written over a 10-day suspension from high school for smoking weed. It raised his profile, and wet the appetite of fans for the follow-up "Acid Rap," which combines a number of genres, including jazz, ghettotech juke and soul. The title track, along with songs like "Good Ass Intro" and "Everybody's Something," have landed him business meetings and sit downs with music industry label heads. But he still has yet to put his name on anyone's dotted line.
Behind a grassroots following, Chance the Rapper has sold out the 500-capacity Chicago club Lincoln Hall, toured nationally with Childish Gambino, and in 2013 rolled through 23 European cities with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. He recently embarked on his Social Experiment Tour that ran from October 25 to December 19, 2013.

Over the past few months, Mecklenburg County departments and Library staff has been studying the possible consolidation of several internal Library services with County departments. The staff Steering Committee recently finalized its recommendations, presented them to us, and we have agreed in principle to the proposal.
The Board of County Commissioners called for this study as part of a FY11 Library funding contingency that also included the creation of The Future of the Library Task Force as a separate process. The Task Force is meeting now through next February, and will present its findings to both boards next March.
The next step regarding possible consolidation is the Steering Committee recommendations to be considered by the six-member Board of Trustees and County Commission. We are making arrangements to convene the subcommittee in the next few weeks. The subcommittee will make final recommendations to both boards.

The Great Escape: Touring North America by Train
Traveling by train might sound old-fashioned, but it remains one of the best, most environment-friendly ways to see some of America's wildest places. Here are 10 trips of a lifetime.
The Adirondack
Running daily between New York City and Montreal, this train skirts the eastern edge of six-million-acre Adirondack Park, the largest tract of land protected by a U.S. state. The Adirondack makes six stops at communities in the park's eastern region. The trip takes about six hours from Montreal and five hours from New York.
Local transit shuttles at the Fort Edward and Westport stations run to Glens Falls, Lake George, and Lake Placid. At Port Kent passengers can board the seasonal ferry to Vermont, a passage popular with bikers along Lake Champlain. Motorcoach connections are possible at other stops, although you'll need to taxi over to the local bus station. Otherwise, you may want to consider renting a car to tour the park.
You can find cappuccino and gourmet coffee on the road, and dine at grand old hunting lodges--all the while stopping at trailheads for hikes into big tracts of roadless country. As the land has healed from logging, extirpated species, including moose, fisher, beaver, marten, osprey, and lynx, are making comebacks.
If you prefer to stay on the train and enjoy the scenery, onboard docents, working in partnership with the National Park Service, narrate the journey with tidbits about nature and the region's Revolutionary War/War of 1812 history. In the fall foliage season, Amtrak adds a vintage domed observation car, which allows passengers stunning 360-degree views.
For information: Amtrak; Adirondack Park
The White Pass & Yukon Route Railway
(Alaska and Canada)
Starting in Skagway, Alaska, at sea level, this train climbs 2,865 feet in 20 miles up steep grades to reach its high point at White Pass in the Canadian Yukon. This was the route of the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, hailed by miners as the "last great adventure." The railroad isn't long--just 110 miles to Whitehorse--but the route leads through dense old-growth forests, glacier fields, and a colorful past. At first the miners hiked to the gold fields carrying their provisions on their backs. A railroad was needed, but such rugged country required a narrower gauge of track, tunnels, trestles, and carving the roadbed out of sheer mountains. Today the picturesque ride takes about three hours one way.
For day hikes, trekkers can get off at two locations, Laughton trailhead and Denver Glacier, where the U.S. Forest Service has renovated an old caboose into a cabin for overnight stays. Follow in the footsteps of gold rushers with a challenging hike on the 33-mile-long Chilkoot Trail, which begins near Skagway and ends up at Lake Bennett, where you can catch the train back down.
For information: White Pass & Yukon Route Railway; Tongass National Forest
The Cardinal
Three days a week the Cardinal runs a circuitous route from New York to Chicago via Washington, D.C. The train is so named because six states--Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois--it passes through have designated the Northern cardinal as their state bird.
The Cardinal is a mom-and-pop sort of train with just one sleeping car (shared with the crew) and a single server/cook in the diner. Passengers often board at unstaffed stations and buy their tickets from the conductor.
The West Virginia portion of the route runs along the New River Gorge National River, a linear national park that protects 70,000 acres of land and 53 river miles. The rugged gorge is as much as 1,000 feet deeper than the surrounding Appalachian Plateau. Hikers and birders can detrain at Hinton, Prince, and Thurmond. The latter is about a seven-hour ride from Washington. Within a short distance are primitive campgrounds, trails for hikers and bikers, and whitewater for rafters and kayakers.

Diabetes doesn't confine itself to a single week or month. It's a year-round condition, and each season offers its own challenges and opportunities for those of us with the disease. We should be prepared to change and evolve as the seasons shift--not only to stay healthy, but also to enjoy all the fun that our dynamic world offers.
Here's a quick rundown of all four seasons, with tips for living your healthiest life all year round.
The challenge: Ah, spring! It's a time to clean out the attic, get reacquainted with the outdoors, and celebrate life. With all this hopefulness and positivity in the air, it can be easy to over-commit and over-promise. Yes, it's a great idea to lose 20 pounds. Yes, it's fantastic to run three miles every day. Yes, you'd win major kudos for cutting processed foods from your diet.
But should you really commit to doing all of those things at once? Regardless of your eagerness, do you believe you'll succeed at all of them? Has this kind of big planning and small follow-though been a problem for you in the past? If so, perhaps it's time to set more manageable goals, requiring smaller day-to-day adjustments.
The opportunity: In this season, nearly everyone around you will have a positive, optimistic outlook. It's a time to achieve! And while you shouldn't over-commit, it would be crazy not to seize the opportunity to think about where you want to go with your treatment.
Take that list of overambitious goals we just mentioned. Look at it and figure out which goal you really want to do, which one just might be achievable. Then make a second list focused on ways that the goal could be reached. What healthy steps could you take to lose 20 pounds?
Take note: Nothing is better for an exercise regimen than spending time outdoors. You probably didn't get that chance during the winter, so don't waste time once spring arrives. Even if the extent of your workout is some light gardening or a stroll around the block with Fido, don't delay!
According to Boston's Joslin Diabetes Center, you'll want to make sure that your exercise program is balanced with your diabetes treatment. You may need to adjust your insulin or medication levels. So monitor your blood sugars closely and check with your doctor if you need more guidance.
The challenge: Who wants to exercise when it's so hot outside? "My goodness, you could fry an egg on the sidewalk," you hear people say, and it feels true as you head out for some attempted exercise.
Depending on where you live, the hottest weeks of the summer can sap your will to better yourself. The Joslin Center reminds people with diabetes to stay hydrated and active during the summer months. Also, try to keep cool if it's scorching outside--noon might not be the best time to take that five-mile run.
The opportunity: If you haven't tried swimming before, here's your chance! According to a 2011 online paper in The American Journal of Cardiology, a regular swimming program is great for keeping your heart in shape. People with diabetes, who face increased heart disease risks, need all the help their hearts can get!
Take note: Some people prefer a routine that's invariable and inflexible. If you approach your exercise that way, it's best to have something that you can do indoors and out. But if you like a little bit of variety, seasonal sports like swimming in the summer or skiing in the winter can add some fun to your routine.
The challenge: With Halloween on one hand and Thanksgiving on the other, it can be easy to eat your way through October and November without a second thought. Our society doesn't really let you celebrate either of those holidays without carbs, sugar, and sweets as far as the eye can see. Refuse them, and you're spoiling the fun.
The National Diabetes Education Program, part of the National Institutes of Health, has several recommendations for handling a Thanksgiving feast. You can eat a snack beforehand or bring a dish of your own. It can also be helpful to plan ahead: Figure out how much you will allow yourself to eat before politely refusing any more. As for Halloween? Maybe you can just hide for a couple of days.
The opportunity: While the temperatures are dropping, you still have a chance for decent outdoor exercise. Sure, you might have to put on a jacket or hat. But you can get your blood pumping and muscles humming without a major production.
You also have a genuine opportunity with regard to the food challenges mentioned above. You can educate your family and friends by explaining--not in an aggressive, defensive way, but in an empathetic and caring one--that you truly need to be different from everybody else. Your health demands it.
Take note: Fall can cause subtle problems, too. For one thing, you're probably realizing that you haven't gotten to all of the improvements that you meant to make in the spring and summer. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the few months remaining in the year. Beware of that emotion: When you feel overwhelmed, it can be very easy to fall off the wagon. Stay the course and do the things that you need to do.
The challenge: Where do we even start? Winter is by far the worst season for people with diabetes and those who love them. How isn't it challenging?
For starters, whether you live in a mild or a cold climate, winter makes outdoor exercise very difficult. If you're one of the many people with diabetes who get most of their exercise from walking, this season can derail your entire routine.
And you know those holidays we were talking about during the fall? You've got a couple of them during the winter, too--Christmas, obviously, but also New Year's. The latter is when it's important to brush up on your knowledge of how alcohol interacts with your disease.
The California Department of Developmental Services also notes that winter is generally flu season. The flu can wreak havoc on your diabetes control, so make sure to get your flu vaccination to protect yourself and those around you!
The opportunity: If your exercise routine can survive the winter, it can survive anything. No matter how you do it--with a Wii Fit game, an exercise bike, a treadmill, or simply walking in place--mustering the dedication to survive this season will pay off. For one thing, you won't find yourself having to make a New Year's resolution again. You can just keep doing what you're doing!
Take note: Not everyone in the United States deals with these exact seasons, of course. In Florida, winter simply means the arrival of the rainy season, and up in Alaska, winter ushers in even more cold than usual. But unless you live in a hyperbaric chamber, your seasons will shift and change in some manner, and the challenges outlined above will find you. It's always wise to be prepared.

Here we are in the days between Christmas and the New Year. Most of us probably allowed ourselves a few extra "dietary indiscretions" during the holidays. As we move into the New Year, many of us turn our attention to getting back on track and getting our eating habits back under control. However we still have the New Year to celebrate and the foods that seem to go with that holiday are more of the snack and appetizer variety. Meals laden with gravy and butter can put on some extra padding, but appetizers and snacks can as well.
Last week we sampled an interesting "snack" food in the cafeteria as part of our Employee Wellness efforts. It was an appetizer called Bruschetta. Bruschetta originates from Italy and is a grilled bread that has been rubbed with garlic and extra virgin olive oil. It can be served with a variety of toppings, but the most popular one uses fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, basil and is topped with mozzarella cheese.
If you're looking for a new appetizer for your New Year's Eve party and want to start out on a healthy note, maybe you would like to try this recipe as well. It is easy to make, the grilled bread has a wonderful aroma and it tastes great! Following is the recipe:
Whole wheat baguettes, cut 1/2" thick
1/4 cup light extra virgin olive oil for brushing
2-3 garlic cloves
8 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
2-3 strips of roasted red peppers, diced
3 long green onions, finely chopped
10 basil leaves, chopped
3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. light extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
1- 8 oz. package of low fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
Brush bread slices with the olive oil and rub the garlic cloves all over the bread. Place the bread on a cookie sheet and bake for 5 minutes on each side until the bread becomes slightly browned. In a medium bowl mix together the tomatoes, red peppers, onions, basil, vinegar and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon about 2 Tbsp of the tomato mixture on the garlic bread. Top with mozzarella cheese.
Makes about 14 pieces
1 serving - about 150 calories
Note: Cut back on the olive oil to reduce calories even further.
May you all have a safe and happy New Year!

The Aerospace and Defense industry reported its third consecutive year of record revenue and profit in 2012, on strong commercial aviation market that offset weaker defense industry performance.
To help provide insight on how aerospace & defense companies performed today and the challenges and opportunities they will face tomorrow, PwC is pleased to share our latest industry report, Aerospace & Defense 2012 year in review and 2013 forecast.
The A&D industry reported its third consecutive year of record revenue and profit. The uptick came on the strength of a surging commercial aviation market that more than offset a soft defense performance. For 2012, the top 100 A&D companies reported a record-setting $695 billion in revenue and $59.8 billion in operating profit. Revenue was up 4 percent compared with 2011, while operating profit was up 2% over 2011.
Although growth is expected to slow, commercial aerospace companies continue to be optimistic about the future. However, defense companies face an uncertain 2013. Among other challenges that lie ahead, sequestration went into effect on March 1, 2013, and defense companies are now bracing for the consequences and waiting for details regarding the impact on specific programs.

Cintas Fire Protection Services ensure that your facility is properly equipped to face a fire emergency and compliant with all applicable regulatory code. Our exclusive Value Inspection Program provides the ultimate value in fire protection along with a compliance guarantee for added peace of mind.
Our Cintas Fire Protection Experts proudly service the Seattle, Kent, Lynnwood and surrounding areas.
Fire Extinguisher Service

Our monthly inspections, annual maintenance and expert hazard assessment keep your equipment operational and ensure you have the right extinguisher where you need it. Our Portable Route Computers keep a running log of your equipment, documenting inspection on every unit and keeping you compliant.

Cintas' kitchen fire suppression installation and service maintains your system so it acts as it is designed - effectively and reliably and in compliance with the UL 300 standard. Cintas Fire Protection will design, install and routinely inspect your kitchen fire suppression system.
In some cases, conventional fire suppression methods can cause as much or more damage than the fire itself. Cintas Fire Protection installs and services Special Hazard Suppression systems designed to detect and suppress fires in seconds, so your most indispensable resources are safe from fire, smoke and water damage.
Fire Extinguisher Training
Your fire extinguishers are only as effective as the people using them. Cintas' OSHA compliant Fire Extinguisher Training will help ensure that your employees have the confidence and skills necessary to take action should a fire occur at your facility.

I just got the latest CS5.5 Web Premium.
It has Adobe Illustrator version 15.1.0 (not 15.0.1)
I need to create multiple art boards and export each as SVG.
I have Win7/64bit.
Considering all the install issues other users are suffering, and I am having a good share already, is it safe to install the HTML5 pack?
Is it even necessary?
Bonus Question:
How do I export each artboard as SVG?
The only video I found said to choose export > Save as type: SVG and select [x] Use Artboards.
But there is no option for Save as type: SVG
In case it could have been changed in my version I looked into Save As > Save as type: SVG
But the checkbox for "Use Artboards" is disabled.
I hope installing the HTML5 pack will enable these options but my level of confidence is faltering.
I'm going to "bump" this post because I, too, would like to know if the HTML 5 pack is compatible with AI CS 5.1. I don't know the level of activity/traffic in this particular sub-forum so the question may need to be repeated in the main Illustrator forum.
The SVG and Canvas formats are going to be more important in web design/development as support for HTML5 improves. SVG and Canvas can improve the look of web page designs and possibly even make the design process a little easier.
The latest version of the HTML5 Pack for Illustrator (preview 2) is indeed compatible with Illustrator CS5.1.
As for exporting individual SVG files for each artboard in your file, it's pretty simple:
1. Choose File > Save As and choose SVG as the File Format.
2. Check the box marked "Use Artboards"
3. Specify which artboards you want to export (or export them all).
4. Click Save.
Illustrator can generate an HTML Preview file so that you can preview all of the separate SVG files (a popup will let you choose). A single CSS file is also generated.
I have the design Premium version of CS5.5.
When i began to install the pack files according to instructions in the various folders i noticed that ALL the files where already present and accounted for in the standard in stall!
So the next question is why isn't any of the functionality available?
Most of the HTML5 pack files are named the same, but they more functions than the stock files in Illustrator CS5.1.
I have Illustrator 5.1.0 and i'm stuck on following instructions on how to install the html5 pack.
I bought the CS5.5 Master collection and not even sure how to get to the Illustrator installer files.
Is it necessary to follow all those instructions, since i have 5.1.0? Can I just go ahead and install without backing up those installer files?
And if i do need to back up the installer files, could you point me to some detailed instructions for finding out how to get to the installer files?
Thanks so much. By the way, i love your instructional videos. You are much easier to follow than most other instructors!
Thanks for the kind words - just trying to help
You should follow the instructions -- that way you can always go back to your original installation in case you need to for any reason. But I think you are misunderstanding the instructions. You don't need the "installer" files (although the instructions are misleading because it says the word install). The files are all located in the Illustrator application folder (like where the plugin folder is, etc).
Yeah, all that's going on with the "install" is copying the files in the HTML5 pack into the appropriate folders. It's a good idea to back-up the files that will be replaced by the HTML5 pack files just in case. To make matters a little more confusing the HTML5 pack files (if I recall correctly) are older than the ones that are installed in a CS 5.5 installation.
I have version 15.0.2 of illustrator and tried to add the SVG functionality by following the install instructions. I pretty handy with computers and this sort of installations are not normally an issue yet something went wrong when i tried to add the files to my version of illustrator.
Before I carried out the functionality upgrade I copied — the to replace files — to another location so i could uninstall later if it didn't work out.
It didn't work out; either I copied the files incorrectly — which i strongly doubt — or the SVG upgrade files are not compatible with my version of illustrator, because Illustrator kept on crashing when starting up. I couldn't even go back to how it was because after returing teh correct files to their rightful place it still didn't work.
I had to reinstall illustrator again.
Yes, I was misled by the "installer" in the instructions.
Will the files generated be able to open in Dreamweaver CS4?
I did the same, I meticulously followed directions here and on the main page for downloading the files and everytime I loaded Illustrator there were a plethora of error messages. I couldn't export an SVG afterwards so I ended up tossing the affected folders and re-instated my backups. I have CS5 and I updated to 15.0.2 and it still didn't work.

How immigrants are redefining 'American' in Southern California
Compton's Measure B: How district elections could change 'racially polarized' voting
Screen shot of a race and ethnicity map of the Compton area from a New York Times interactive mapping project. Blue dots represent black residents, yellow dots represent Latinos. Each dot represents 25 people.
A measure in Compton that came out of a lawsuit seeking greater political representation for Latinos in the city passed by a clear margin in yesterday's California primary election. And while there's no guarantee it will boost voter turnout in city elections, it's worth taking a look at some of the changes to come.
The 2010 lawsuit, which claimed a pattern of racially polarized voting, landed Compton in the national news. The problems it alleged were seen as symbolic of the cultural and political struggles that have ensued in formerly black regions of Los Angeles County that are now predominantly Latino, including neighboring Lynwood. In Compton, formerly majority black, the population is now two-thirds Latino.
The back story: In December 2010, three Latina residents sued the city under the 2001 California Voting Rights Act, claiming that Compton's at-large city elections violated Latinos' civil rights by diluting their voting power. Although the city is majority Latino, city council members have traditionally been black, and Latinos have historically had trouble winning elected office. (One sticking point in the lawsuit, as plaintiffs argued the lack of Latino representation, was the racial identity of a council member elected in 2011 who is of black and Spanish ancestry.)

I have just got my iPhone and this is the second week I am using it.
But there is one thing that I really wonder if it is ok. When ever I turn my phone to speaker mode while talking, my voice seems to be very soft and laggy to the other party on the phone. All of my friends complain that they couldn't hear me.
When I move the mic close to my lips, my voice turned muffled instead.
It is ok when I talk through the normal mode. The earplug is slightly better than the speaker mode, but not as loud as when in normal mode. Some of my friends still complain they cannot hear me when I am using the earplug.
Is there anyway to fix this?

A Montgomery County product is replacing a legendary figure at Sherwood.
Ashley Barber-Strunk, a 2002 Richard Montgomery graduate, takes over the Sherwood softball program following the departure of longtime head coach Pat Flanagan who stepped down in May after nearly two decades at the helm.
Flanagan compiled over 300 wins during a tenure that lasted nearly four decades coaching softball in Montgomery County including 17 years at Sherwood.
Barber-Strunk described the opportunity to replace a county legend as "nervous but exciting" but "this is something I've been waiting for," she said.
Barber-Strunk spent a year coaching junior varsity softball at Walter Johnson before leaving to coach the Sherwood junior varsity team four years ago.
During the past two seasons, Flanagan guided the Warriors to back-to-back Class 4A state championships. Sherwood defeated Chesapeake, 1-0, in 2012 and this year registered a 5-0 victory over Glen Burnie to capture the program's 42nd consecutive win.
Although Sherwood graduated Kelsey Lineberger, Megan McDonough and Amelia Naik, the Warriors return a solid core of players led by rising senior pitcher Meggie Dejter, a Villanova recruit, and rising junior Nicole Stockinger.
"Stockinger is going to be elite," said Barber-Strunk. "She's willing to do anything."
Sherwood has appeared in the state tournament five times since 2007 and made three state title game appearances in the last four years.
"I don't want them to drop at all," said Barber-Strunk. "I want them to play to the highest level possible."

PORT Stephens captain-coach James McCabe has demanded more commitment from his troops following the club's forfeit in reserve grade last Saturday.
On Friday night the Sharks were forced to withdraw from the reserve-grade game against South Newcastle at Townson Oval after six players decided to go to the Groovin' the Moo music festival in Maitland instead.
The club already had 16 players unavailable due to injury and work commitments.
First grade were subsequently belted 74-6.
''We had a meeting during the week and told those guys that they needed to be there with the injuries we had,'' McCabe said.
''They decided they'd rather go to the concert.
''It wasn't that that they couldn't go, it would have been done by 3pm and they would have been there by 3.30 or 4. We thought we got through to them on the Wednesday and on the Friday they tell us, 'No, we're going.'''
McCabe said he was confident those players would show more commitment in future.
''We had a run on Monday night and it was good and all the guys were there,'' he said.
''We told them what the deal is now and I think they seemed to take it all right.''
The Sharks were given special dispensation in the pre-season, allowing them to compete without a third-grade side.
Souths, who voted against the move, were forced to throw open the gates on Saturday and Lions president Terry Davies estimated the club lost between $2500 and $3000 based on last year's gate and canteen takings from the corresponding match.
The Newcastle Rugby League board has invited the Sharks executive to a meeting on Monday to discuss the club's position.
The Sharks were formed out of the ashes of the Nelson Bay-based Northern Blues.
The vision of the new club was to incorporate the entire Port Stephens region by splitting games between Tomaree and Lakeside Sports Complex and have second-division clubs Stockton, Mallabula, Fingal Bay and Raymond Terrace support the Sharks with players.
So far a limited number of second-division players have played for the Sharks.
Newcastle Rugby League chairman Trevor Crow said the board remained supportive of the Sharks.
''We need to discuss as a board their future,'' Crow said.
''It's still the second-division content north of Hexham and the Stockton bridge that is the concern.
''They just won't fall in line with what we want to do.
''We need to revisit that and get some amicable decisions that works for second-tier footy in the area, and most importantly, look after the district football which is where the pathway for the elite juniors lie.''
Meanwhile, McCabe is hopeful the Jakes Coles memorial day on Saturday at Tomaree against Lakes United will inspire the Sharks to their first victory.
Coles was a Blues third grader and manager who died suddenly aged 22 last May.
On the first memorial day last year the Blues beat Cessnock 13-12 for their only win and undoubtedly the upset of the season.
''I spoke to the guys about it,'' McCabe said.
''It was an example of what we can achieve if everyone has a go.''
