Accepted Offer
Neutral Experience
Easy Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 3 months - interviewed at J.P. Morgan.
Interview Details They hire people like themselves. Not too bright, looks busy all day, and discusses lots of BS like new processes that make little sense. The process varies. If you are smart and pass by HR, they will approve you if you happen to be wanted by someone high enough. Otherwise, they don't really hire (though they think they do), they protect the company from law suits.
Interview Question – How do you work with colleagues? View Answer
Negotiation Details – They lie about your potential to raise your salary and get promoted. Then they give as low an offer as possible with a promise for the future. They screw you.
J.P. Morgan has been doing first-class business in a first-class way for more than 200 years. We have been a leading player in helping companies grow and markets develop throughout our history. We work in collaboration… — Full Overview

Pizza >Big Kahuna's Pizza
38 E 1300 S, Salt Lake City, UT | Directions 8411540.741488 -111.889410
Mon. - Thu., Sun. 10am - 2am;Fri. - Sat. 10am - 4am
Neighborhoods: People's Freeway
Big Kahuna comes through Big Time! – I hosted a company PIZZA PARTY at 11:00 a.m. on Dec 1, 2010 for 90+ hungry employees in the Cottonwood Holladay area and I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED when Paul, the owner/operator of Big Kahuna's Pizza drove up 10 minutes EARLY with his colorful van and my 12 LARGE hot pizzas, custom-baked and sliced EXACTLY as I had requested! The 90+ employees anxiously lined up and within 20 minutes EVERY SLICE was GOBBLED UP!!!
Combo, Veggie, Taco, and Pepperoni - it did not matter which style pizza they chose - the slices were all gone before I even had a chance to taste one for myself. But I had 90+ HAPPY and SATISFIED employees. Thanks to Big Kahuna's Pizza for making our party a BIG SUCCESS by PROMPTLY DELIVERING from its little store on 13th South between Main and State clear up to Cottonwood Holladay!! GREAT FOOD - GREAT SERVICE - and a BIG FIVE STAR rating from me!!!
DRUNK LOVE/HATE – I recently found these guys in the phone book. I it took about 50 minutes till I finally got my pizza. When it got here I was not disappointed. This is quite possibly the best pizza you can get at 2 in the morning and it shows.
When I called to complain about the time it took me to get my pizza they explained that they're only location is downtown and they still deliver all over the Salt Lake Valley.
The dude on the phone was pretty cool about explaining and that people will often complain just to get more of their pizza for free and through tantrums... lol, I guess they get a lot of drunk people being a late-night pizza joint... I was one of them.
Give these guys a shot and try it for yourself, you shouldn't regret it.
DON'T DO IT!! Not even for the B A L L S! – My wife and I live in Sugarhouse and have attempted Big Kahunas on multiple occasions. On each occasion we have litterally been left with a bad taste in our mouths. The pizza is gross! Very little cheese, limited toppings, and a yucky aftertaste (I swear they put mustard in the sauce)
I am a buy local 1st person but this is pure garbage, for the same price or better hit up Litzas Pizza, Gepettos, or ANY of the big pizza chains and you will avoid a terrible experience and waste of money.
Oh and the Big Kahuna Balls are a major bust. Taken directly from the menu it says that the Big Kahuna balls are "Gooey and Delicious"......NOT!!! They were hard and mostly cheeseless. Oh and 3.99 for six! Spend your money on Little Caesars breadsticks and you'll have a much better experience.
Lousy Place, avoid... – Lamest Experiance Ever. Dude on the phone was like trying to order a Pizza from Butthead. I asked how much the pizza would be and I got the following response: "Uhhhh......uhhhhhh..........I dont know". Obviously didnt care at all. I finally completed my order after having to give my address 5 times so they would actually know where to go. These people cant seem to understand an address. An hour and 45 minutes later, still no pizza. I called to find out whats going on. They made the wrong pizza and sent it to the wrong place. After repeating myself many many times, they still managed to screw it up. They didnt even bother to call back and explain the mistake. Bad business and Lousy service if you ask me, I used to be a believer...........but no more........no more.
Best Pizza Ever – Great Pizza and Great Service. I stopped by with my family after a buzz game and was amazed by the quality of this pizza. Even with the crowd of people that had also stopped in they got my order and pizza out to me within 20 minutes. Very cheerful and helpful the whole time I was there. Also you must try their big kahuna b a l l s They were great!!! Thanks Big Kahuna!
i couldnt stop eating it – Ive found another addiction! this pizza place puts all the other pizza places in salt lake to shame. I cant believe sometimes how fast they deliver.. so i always tip good.Ive eaten at the store a few times and they have a real oven instead of one of those conveyor belt setups like papa johns or dominoes uses, Maybe that has something to with why they're pizza is so good.The stores atmosphere is nice and its a cool place to stop in for lunch on a hot day and somewhere to get warmed up with hot pizza on a cold one.
Awesome Pizza in SLC – Sweet Pizza and really nice place. I liked the atmosphere of the little building that he has and the pizza was great! We went in and ordered and were out in under 15 minutes. This place is a nice little find here in Salt Lake if you are hungry and looking for some great pizza that is unique and not just your stupid crappy domino's or papa johns.
Awesome Food! – This place is awesome. I recently saw these reviews and must say that i disagree. I have been here a ton of times. I normally order when i get there and have my pizza within 20 minutes. I love the food here. It is the best around. All of these negative reviews must be random and not normal because i have never had a problem there. Everyone has to try this place, i guarentee you will love it!
Good Pizza, terrible customer service. – I love the pizza, but the service is a nightmare. I have waited over two hours to get a pizza and some bread sticks on two separate occasions now. Both times it was a weeknight, not a weekend or a holiday. The pizza is always very good, but there are much better local options that deliver in under 45 minutes.
BAD Customer Service – Monday Feb 5, 2007. I have always loved Big Kahuna's Pizza. I will never go back again. I called at 6:25ish for a delivery order. I was told 45 minutes to and hour. I called and hour and 15 minutes later to see where my pizza's were. The young lady told me that the driver just took out 2 orders and as soon as he got back he would deliver mine. At 8:15 I called again and asked where my pizza's were. The young lady told me the driver was having problems finding his last stop but she would give me (20 or 30 percent off my order if I would like). I told her 2 hours is a long time to wait for an order and I would just get food somewhere else and to just cancel my $40.00 order. She Said I Voided your order! (click) She hung up on me!!!! I called back and asked for her name and she told me she didnt have to give me her name! (click) She hung up on me again! I called back and asked for the manager. (I am the manager) can I talk to the owner. (he's on vacation) I would really like your name because I think the owner would like to know how you are running (or ruining i think to myself) his business . ( I don't have to give you my name) fine I will send my daughter in to get your name. (you are going to send your daughter in to get my name. I am going to call the cops!) (click) She hung up on me again! OWNER OF BIG KAHUNA'S. This young lady is blond with star tatoos on her wrist. You may want to take a look at these reviews. This is not the first bad review. My e-mail is registered if you would like to talk. E. A. in salt lake city

AT&T's threat to not participate in the upcoming auction could jeopardize the success of the auction, but it's unclear how serious its warning is as its arguments seem weak when scrutinized.
The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission says the agency only has one chance to get this auction right, and so he has decided to postpone it.
Built in Steve Jobs' parents' garage in 1976, one of Apple's original computers becomes the highest priced item ever sold in a Christie's online-only auction.
A working, street-legal replica of the caped crusader's vehicle from the 1989 Batman movie will be auctioned off in the UK this month. And it's epic.
New rules adopted by the FCC that limit how TV broadcasters can do business may discourage participation in the upcoming incentive spectrum auction.
The H block auction comes to a close as the FCC reaches the reserve price of more than $1.5 billion, which will be used to help fund the building of a nationwide public safety network.
A signed legal agreement documenting a business venture between the Apple co-founder and his college friend Robert Friedland proves to be a hot item.
A House bill was introduced Monday that will allow government agencies to take a cut of the auction proceeds if they give up under utilized wireless spectrum for commercial use.
If you want to own a piece of "Star Wars" history -- and have $200,000 lying around -- you could buy this original Han Solo blaster. But, sorry, it wasn't used in the famous cantina scene.

Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day. It is important to continue taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick.Do not stop taking this medication without first consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when you suddenly stop this drug. A rapid rise in blood pressure may occur when the drug is abruptly stopped. Also, there have been rare reports of severe, possibly fatal reactions (such as stroke, heart failure) from stopping this drug too quickly. To prevent these problems while you are stopping treatment with this drug, your doctor may lower your dose gradually over several days. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Report any new or worsening symptoms immediately.It is important that you do not run out of mecamylamine or miss any doses. Tell your doctor or pharmacist immediately if you are unable to take the medication (for example, due to vomiting).When used for a long time, this medication may not work as well and may require different dosing or an additional medication.

Comments about Batter Up Power Drive Brace Youth Hitting Trainer:
My Daughter developed the very common probem of letting her shoulder fly and was finishing her swing very high. This product instantly fixed that and she was able to see instant results, quicker swing, hands inside the ball, and every hit is solid on the tee, soft toss and in the cage which has kept her interest in practicing with it. During this off season she is using it at home and during our regular practices twice a week through her own ambition. It teaches what it says and forces the upside down "v" and if her hands are wrong it will turn them over giving instant correction without the fight. Excellent product coupled with a Perfect Stride these products reinforce what we try so hard to teach.

Comments about Batter Up Power Drive Brace Youth Hitting Trainer:
My 10 yr.old little brother have a bad habbit of arm baring and swinging with his shoulders. He has always been a good hitter. (making contact) At first he did not want to use it because it felt restrictive. The reason was beacause it wasn't letting him do what he always had been able to do. After 2-short weeks he is not a good hitter anylonger, he is a "Power Hitter Now". He has never hit a home run before but now, he hits 20 to 30 feet further and hit 2-200-ft. center field home runs last weekend.
I'm a BELIEVER now !!!!!!!

The complete collection of Sets in Order (which changed its name to Square Dancing in 1968) is available online through the University of Denver. (The issues were scanned by Gardner Patton.) A handy guide to the many issues is here.
Scholarly article that looks at the way that European set dances such as the quadrille became changed by African Americans. The article looks in detail at the quadrille tradition in the Caribbean islands as well as on the US mainland:
"It is well acknowledged that the court dances which developed in Europe from the seventeenth century onward spread to the rural areas of Europe and to the new world. What has not been properly recognized is that these dances - the quadrille, the cotillion, the contradance and the like - were taken up by Afro-Americans in North and South America and the West Indies and were modified and adapted to local cultural circumstances. ... Meanwhile, folk and rural versions of set dances and dance suites were flourishing in 19th-century America. The ex-slaves interviewed by the WPA in the 1930's show that the dances most often
remembered from slavery days were contradances, square dances,
the cotillion, the waltz, and the quadrille (though the individual steps remembered for these dances seem to be strictly Afro-American - juba, buck dancing and the like).

This dance was published in Elizabeth Burchenal's Folk-Dances from Old Homelands (1922). This is the first dance iin the book, one of two American dances, along with Old Dan Tucker. (See the moving images of Burchenal leading Old Dan Tucker here.)
Burchenal's dance description says it stems from Oxford County, Maine: "This is an old-time country quadrille recorded as it is "called" by Mr. Stephen Kimball, who has played for kitchen "whangs" and barn dances in Maine for fifty years."
Note that the couples are numbered differently than in squares today. Couples 1 and 2 are the head couples, and 3 and 4 are the side couples, with couple 3 to the right of couplde 1.
Listen to Kimball's recording of the dance here.
The People's Ball Room Guide, published by musician James Scott Skinner in 1905, is a description of 19th century ballroom dances.
A website devoted to Skinner's work includes a series of videos illustrating quadrilles and Lancers set to Scottish tunes and danced in Scottish style.
Skinner himself was taught to dance by William Scott; the two men collaborated on an earlier work, A Guide To Fashionable Dancing," which collects quadrille variations from the early 1980s.
Other videos on the site illustrate country dances and other four-couple set dances such as the Eightsome Reel, a now-popular ceilidh dance that dates from the 1870s.

Naugatuck officials seemed uninterested in public's perspective
I went to the Dec. 19 Naugatuck Board of Mayor and Burgesses meeting to discuss the upcoming proposal/purchase of the General DataComm property (Dec. 20 story, "Burgesses OK DataComm deal"). Since it was my first meeting, I spent time preparing my questions. I left the meeting frustrated, with few questions answered and (as a taxpayer) a future owner of the GDC property, which has many issues.
Even with many questions asked by the audience unanswered, the board still voted 8-1 to buy this property. Here were some of the questions: "How will you make up the $200,000 a year in lost tax revenue the GDC was paying?" "Are they current?" "While the property sits there for 10 years, how will you make up the $2 million in lost revenue?" The answer was it is an investment and the GDC is current. "How much will it cost to fix the damaged roof as stated by the board?" (The building is 320,000 square feet.) Answer: We are going to patch it for $2 million.

" Naugatuck has always been a hokey Dumb and dumber town. With elections popularity contests that come down to who can buy the most signs and tv commercials. They have too many town employees. The size of some of the departments seems large for such a small New England town. The best way to do that is to start a local Naugatuck Party. A lot of funding can be done through fundraisers instead of taxes. If the generous people of Naugatuck do not donate to your cause you should look at your cause, not the Naugatuck people. They should talk to a few small neighboring towns and fire all the street department, Park department, etc. They should have a private company service a few local towns like Naugatuck, Beacon Falls, Middlebury or Watertown. One private street department that services all three would save a fortune, especially with benefits and 401K's from a private company. Same with cops, garbage collection, etc. "

Fun Ideas for Movie Night
Lights, camera, action! Get the whole family together for a fun night filled with snacks, laughs and a feature film! What better way to unwind with the kids than by throwing on a flick and putting on pajamas. Here's some fun ways to plan a movie night.
Set up the Room
Don't just resort to sitting on the couch! You can make it a lot more fun by setting up the room like a movie theater, positioning chairs in rows in front of the television. Or, make it ultra cozy by bringing in blankets, pillows and bean bags so kids can cozy up on the floor.
Decide on the Film
Different personalities may mean a lot of conflicting opinions on what to watch-make the choice argument-free by having everyone write down their picks, then put them in a bowl and pick one at random. Problem, solved!
Build on Your Theme
If you choose a film ahead of time, you can make make things even more fun by matching the snacks and decorations to the movie. Or, keep it general by doing a Hollywood theme! You can make it official by rolling out a mini red carpet and decorating with old movie posters. If you're having other guests over, have kids create makeshift ticket stubs that they can rip when friends arrive.
Don't Forget the Snacks!
It's not movie night without spectacular snacks! Create a make-your-own popcorn bar by setting out various toppings for everyone to top their popcorn with (salts, spices, cheese, caramel) or, do a make-your-own ice cream sundae bar complete with a few ice cream flavors to choose from and tons of toppings. Another idea: buy movie-size candy boxes from Target and let kids choose their favorite.
Clean up the Kitchen Beforehand
Nothing will make you less likely to relax than the thought of having to clean up all those dirty dishes later. Solve this problem by doing a speed cleaning session before the movie begins. After everyone helps themselves to snacks, have them pitch in to tidy up so most of the dishes are already done. If everyone helps, it'll only take a few minutes!
Set the Mood
Dim the lights, unplug your phones, and remove any other distractions from the room so everyone can focus on the film (no laptops allowed!).
Schedule an Intermission
With children involved, it's a rare occasion that everyone will make it through the entire movie without a bathroom break or snack refill, so schedule an intermission half-way through the film for everyone to take a 10-minute breather and refresh. That way, no one misses any important scenes and you don't keep having to press the "pause" button.

Zend Pattern for Infrastructure Automation with Chef
Purpose:About Chef
Chef is an automation platform that models IT infrastructure and application delivery as code. Whether your network is in the cloud, on-site, or a hybrid, Chef can automate how you configure, deploy and scale your servers and applications, making your infrastructure testable, versioned and repeatable. Chef relies on reusable definitions known as cookbooks and recipes that automate common infrastructure tasks. Their definitions describe what your infrastructure consists of and how each part of your infrastructure should be deployed, configured and managed. Chef applies those definitions to servers to produce an automated infrastructure.
About the Zend Pattern
This Zend Pattern is a Chef cookbook that enables the automation of the installation, bootstrapping, and cluster management (including auto scaling) of Zend Server. It is broken down into clear recipes and has an explicit attribute list for setting Zend Server license information, default credentials, and database information (if joining a cluster). Note that a separate, external MySQL database is required to use the clustering functionality.Why Use the Zend Pattern?
Maintaining a consistent highly available environment is key for successful application deployment and ongoing operation. Zend Server ensures configuration consistency across a cluster. When adding a server to a cluster, Zend Server will automatically change its settings to match all other servers in the cluster. Zend Server monitors all servers within a cluster and alerts on any application errors, performance issues or configuration changes, so you can act quickly to prevent issues.

Clark Conference to Explore "The Lure Of The Object"
For Immediate Release
February 04, 2004
"The Lure of the Object" is the topic of the 2004 Clark Conference at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, Friday, April 30-Saturday, May 1. The conference will bring together historians, critics, artists, curators, and conservators to examine the role of "the object" in art history during the 21st century. Speakers will explore the vital difference that the encounter with objects has made to the conception and practice of art history. Registration is $25 per day ($15 for members, $5 for students). For more information or to register, contact the Clark's Research and Academic Program at 413-458-2303, extension 260, or email@example.com.
The conference will begin at 9:15 a.m. on April 30, with an introduction by Stephen Melville, professor of the history of art at Ohio State University and organizer of this year's conference. Melville was in residence at the Institute as Clark Fellow in the fall of 2003.
The Friday morning session, entitled "Commerce and Context," will be presented from 9:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., beginning with a discussion on "The Lure of Leonardo: Two Belle Ferronieres in the 1920s" by John Brewer. Brewer is Eli and Edye Broad Professor of Humanities and Social Sciences and professor of history and literature at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. Emily Apter, professor of French at New York University, will give the talk, "The Private Property of the Subject." Mark Meadow, associate professor of art at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will discuss "Samuel Quiccheberg, the Wunderkammer, and the Copious Object." Edward J. Sullivan's topic, "Naturalezas Mexicanas: Objects as Cultural Signifiers in Mexican Art, c. 1750-1850," will conclude the morning session. Sullivan is professor of fine arts at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.
The afternoon session, "After the Object," from 2 to 5 p.m., will begin with "Material as Language in Contemporary Art" by Christian Scheidemann, senior conservator at Contemporary Conservation Ltd. in New York City. Lynne Cook, curator at the Dia Art Foundation in New York, will follow with her lecture, "(To Matter): Pace the Material and Immaterial in Lawrence Weiner's Early Work." George Baker, assistant professor of art history at the University of California, Los Angeles, will bring the first day of the conference to a close with his lecture, "Photography's Expanded Field."
Malcolm Baker, professor of art history at the University of Southern California, will lead off Saturday's session, "Objectives," with his talk "Object Histories and the Materiality of the Sculptural Object" at 9:30 a.m. Karen Lang, assistant professor at the University of Southern California, will speak on "Encountering the Object." Ewa Lajer-Burcharth, professor of the history of art at Harvard University, will discuss "The Object as Subject."
The topic for Saturday afternoon's session is "Lost and Found." It will begin at 2 p.m. with "The Surrealist Situation of the Photographed Object" by Margaret Iversen, professor of the history of art at the University of Essex, England. Helen Molesworth will then conclude the lecture program with her talk "Part Object/Part Sculpture." Molesworth is curator at the Wexner Center for the Arts at Ohio State University.
From 3:45 to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Clark Fellows Martha Buskirk and Marcia Pointon will respond to and lead a discussion of the issues raised at the conference. Buskirk is associate professor of art history and criticism at Montserrat College of Art, Beverly, Massachusetts. Pointon is professor emerita at the University of Manchester, England.
The proceedings of "The Lure of the Object" will be published by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute and Yale University Press as part of the ongoing series, Clark Studies in the Visual Arts. Previous titles in the series include: Art History, Aesthetics, Visual Studies (Michael Ann Holly and Keith Moxey, editors); The Art Historian (Michael F. Zimmermann, editor) and Anthropologies of Art (Mariët Westermann, editor).

Will this year's game between No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Auburn really be the biggest ever, just because the stakes are so large?
Maybe the reverse is more accurate.
The game is always big, no matter what records the teams have. But when one of the teams is competing for a national championship, it sometimes seems like the game is just another bump in the road. When the year ends, it isn't like that team says, "We won the SEC and/or national championship, but the real highlight of the year was beating our rival. Winning that championship just doesn't compare."
In those years when neither team is going to win a championship, that's when it seems as if the Iron Bowl takes on extra importance. That's when a win really is the highlight of the year.
Alabama fans, think back to 1984 and 1985. Exciting games, memorable Alabama wins. Beating Auburn made not going to a bowl game more bearable in 1984. In 1985, beating with a field goal on the last play made a good season great.
Auburn fans, think about the 1972 season. Auburn won no championship, but the 17-16 win over Alabama made that team one of the most memorable in school history.
Alabama's win at Auburn in 2001, and Auburn's win at Tuscaloosa in 2002 don't mean any less because no championship was attached.
There's one exception to this rule, of course -- the 1989 game. Auburn clinched a tie for the SEC championship with Alabama and Tennessee by beating the Crimson Tide in the first Iron Bowl in Jordan-Hare Stadium. (This was before the SEC Championship Game.) Alabama finally was forced to come to Auburn, and the Tigers won. The championship was secondary.
But for this year, the winner Saturday has bigger fish to fry later on. And because of that, maybe Alabama's AJ McCarron is right when he says, "It's just another Saturday."

McLeish plans to end Villa cup drought
Alex McLeish wants to end the "hurt" of the Aston Villa fans deprived of FA Cup success for more than 50 years and aims to avoid being on the wrong end of a giant-killing act against Bristol Rovers.
Villa's last triumph in the competition was in 1957 and McLeish has witnessed enough upsets throughout his career not to take anything for granted against the npower League One side at the Memorial Ground.
But he can also draw on last season's Carling Cup triumph with Birmingham as a pointer that anything is possible with the aid of favourable draws and a degree of good fortune.
McLeish said: "It (1957) is a long time isn't it? But Hibernian had gone something like 100 years without winning the Scottish Cup when I got them to the final.
"I know how much it hurts the fans when they've not had success for a long, long time - especially a club of Aston Villa's history and heritage.
"Certainly as a kid living in Scotland, I loved tuning into the FA Cup. I remember watching Hereford beating Newcastle, Ronnie Radford's goal, seeing all the brilliant drama.
"I hope there's more drama to come and it's all in Aston Villa's favour in this competition. We seriously want to do well in the FA Cup.
"We saw what happened with Birmingham last season. It can be done, absolutely, but you've got to do your best and sometimes you need a wee rub of the green in terms of draws."
McLeish will not take anything for granted despite Rovers sacking manager Paul Buckle this week and sliding towards the bottom of the table.
He said: "From the outside, it might look like they are in a bit of a trouble after losing their manager.
"But they will see it as a game where they have absolutely nothing to lose.
"They are not expected to beat Aston Villa but they will be asking our players if they fancy it.
"I remember going to little grounds with my own Scottish Cup successes with Aberdeen and you knew you had to roll your sleeves up.
"With the romance of a giant-killing in the FA Cup we have to be at our best to avoid that."
Villa defender Carlos Cuellar has been ruled out with the thigh injury suffered during the home defeat by Swansea. Alan Hutton is poised to replace the Spaniard at right-back.
McLeish has to decide whether to include new signing, left-back Enda Stevens from Shamrock Rovers, in his plans this evening.

The Dallas Cowboys hired Scott Linehan as passing game coordinator and offensive play caller, according to ESPN.
Linehan is the Cowboys' third offensive play caller in as many years. Offensive coordinator Bill Callahan called the plays last season.
A source told ESPN that Linehan, the former Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator, participated in the Cowboys' team meetings on Monday. However, the team has not made an announcement.
Callahan has been the Cowboys' offensive coordinator and offensive line coach the last two seasons. He reportedly would not be in favor of losing his duties as play caller. He has one more year left on his contract.
Before Callahan called plays, head coach Jason Garrett had that responsibility from 2007-12.
Linehan was the Lions' offensive coordinator from 2009-13. Detroit has one of the most productive passing games in the league, led by quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
In 2005, Linehan worked with Garrett for a year with the Miami Dolphins as the offensive coordinator under head coach Nick Saban. Garrett was Miami's quarterbacks coach.
Last year, the Cowboys' offense ranked fifth in scoring at 27.4 points per game but its 5,461 yards gained was the fewest by the team since 2005.
Quarterback Tony Romo had 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Wide receiver Dez Bryant had his second-straight 1,000-yard season and 13 touchdowns to earn his first Pro Bowl selection. Running back DeMarco Murray was the first Cowboy to gain more than 1,000 rushing yards since 2006.
Late in the season, the Cowboys changed their procedure for relaying plays to Romo. Instead of receiving the plays directly from Callahan, they were relayed to Garrett, who could then change the play if necessary.

Rice wins freshman class president runoff
Published: Saturday, October 6, 2012
Updated: Saturday, October 6, 2012 00:10
The SGA Election Commission announced Friday night that AJ Rice, freshman general studies major, won the freshman class president runoff election with 62.16 percent of the vote.
In the first round of voting earlier this week, Rice received the highest amount of votes: 17.56 percent. Because a candidate did not receive a majority vote, a runoff election took place. Brooke McManus, freshman international studies major, received the second highest amount of votes, 15.75 percent, in the first round of voting earlier in the week. This put McManus in the runoff election with Rice, where Rice received the majority vote Friday.

COLUMBIANA - The Columbiana Clippers bounced back from a tough week 1 defeat to their archrival Crestview by routing East Palestine 39-6 at Firestone Park in Columbiana. Quarterback Nate Huk scampered for 113 yards and a touchdown on only 5 carries while fullback Brandon Hacker chipped in 68 rushing yards and 2 TD's as the Clippers pulled away from the outmanned Bulldogs with a 27 point 2nd quarter barrage.
"We knew all throughout the summer to expect some week 2 adversity if we weren't able to pull out the win against Crestview," said Clippers Head Coach Bob Spaite. "Our guys did a good job of flushing that loss from their system. I thought our first team played very well, and I think our backups did a nice job in the 2nd half as well."
East Palestine was able to hang tough with the heavily favored Clippers in the early going. With under ten minutes to go in the 2nd quarter the Bulldogs only trailed 6-0.
"I thought we played very good football for the first quarter and a half," said East Palestine Head Coach Gare Mattes. Our defense did a nice job at preventing big plays early in the game."
Eventually, though, the floodgates opened. Columbiana went up 12-0 with 9:54 to go in the 2nd quarter on a 24-yard run around the right side by Huk. After an East Palestine three-and-out, Huk faked a draw on first down and ran 70 yards up the middle before being dragged down at the 1 yard line.
Fullback Jon Cramer punched it in on the next play, and the rout was on. R.J Rankin scored on a 74 yard touchdown run four seconds before halftime, and Jared Hill returned the opening kickoff of the second half 83 yards for another score to stretch the margin to 39-0 and wrap up the scoring for the Clippers.
East Palestine was stifled on offense the entire game before getting on the board with 1:09 left in the fourth on a one-yard touchdown run by freshman Josh Pickett.
"We still have a lot things to work on as a team going forward," said Spaite.
"It was great to come out here tonight and get a win, but we have to forget this one as quickly as we forgot the Crestview loss so we can get ready for a tough test next week."
The Clippers (1-1) will hit the road next week for the first time of the season when they travel south to take on Steubenville Central Catholic.
East Palestine (0-2) will return home to take on Western Reserve.

Is it up to code if I install a self-closing fire-rated door between two apartment units? Currently the separation is 5/8 drywall fire separation.
Door would remain locked at all times, and would be installed according to OBC's fire separation requirements (Section 188.8.131.52 I believe.)
Rationale is that unit #1's basement has laundry service, but it is soo much easier to get machines in and out via unit #2 (except for having to demolish and replace drywall partitions)
Thanks for any input or referrals.

Since the passing of the Constitutional Act, 1791, elections have been a regular feature of Canadian life, and posters and broadsides have been used by political candidates to present themselves and their ideas. In the 2008 federal election, for example, there were more than 1,400 candidates in all, and each candidate put up political posters everywhere they could, hoping to get their name recognized by voters. (figure 1, a cartoon about the proliferation of lawn signs by Sid Barron). Since 1867, there have been hundreds of federal, provincial and municipal elections, with hundreds of thousands of political posters created as a result.
Yet nobody has ever systematically collected and preserved political posters. Library and Archives Canada (LAC) probably owns fewer than 1,000 examples, most of which come from the archival fonds of some political parties, such as the Liberal, Conservative, New Democratic and Communist parties. LAC holds few representative examples from some other parties, such as the Reform Party, Canadian Alliance, Bloc Québécois, Social Credit Party and Créditistes.
Figure 1: Sid Barron cartoon commenting on post-election signage in neighbourhoods, May 27, 1979
Figure 2: Electoral campaign poster prepared for the 1980 Federal Election promoting the re-election of the Hon. Flora MacDonald M.P., P.C.; riding of Kingston and the Islands, ca. 1979 - 1980
Other posters come from the papers of prominent politicians, especially prime ministers, cabinet ministers, and leaders of the opposition-but few from non-mainstream candidates. In some cases, a politician's route to power takes him or her from local to provincial to federal politics, but most don't keep examples of all their posters along the way. Though political posters are an ever-present part of both the urban and rural landscape during campaigns, they invariably vanish after the election is over. Posters are taken down and destroyed, put away for re-use by the same politician or recycled for other campaigns. For the most part, this is no big loss: the modern political poster is usually not about ideas, but about the individual. It is really only a photo of the candidate with his or her name, party affiliation and symbol (figure 2).

Valpo To Host Centenary In Decisive Four-Game Mid-Con Series This Weekend
Friday, May 20, 2005Valpo will host Centenary in a crucial four-game Mid-Continent Conference series Saturday and Sunday at Emory G. Bauer Field. The Crusaders (8-10 Mid-Con) and Gents (10-10 Mid-Con), who will play noon doubleheaders both days, are vying for one spot in the Mid-Con Tournament. The four-game set is the final Mid-Con series of the regular season.
The fourth and final spot in the Mid-Con Tournament will be awarded to the team with the higher winning percentage. As a result, Valpo must win three of the four games this weekend or finish with a higher winning percentage than Centenary.
The Mid-Con Tournament will be held May 26-28 at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. ORU (18-2) has already clinched the top seed, while Western Illinois (13-9) and Southern Utah (11-9) have clinched a spot and are battling for the second, third or fourth seed.
Last season, Centenary edged Valpo for the final spot by virtue of percentage points.

Quote about Gods Timeless Love for us
St. Augustine
Misunderstood and Misjudged
Why should we defend ourselves when we are misunderstood and misjudged? Let us leave that aside. Let us not say anything. It is so sweet to let others judge us in any way they like. O blessed silence, which gives so much peace to the soul! ~ St. Therese of Lisieux
For all who ask…
Then Mary spoke to Catherine: "Have a medal struck upon this model. Those who wear it will receive great graces, especially if they wear it around the neck." "Now it must be given to the whole world and to every person."
The Virgin Mary also told Dominic to "Pray my Psalter and teach it to your people. That prayer will never fail".
No matter which apparition of the Holy Mother you favor, it is plain to see that she is reaching out and giving very specific instructions. Very simply, talk to Our Virgin Mother. Trust in her, confide in her, rejoice with her and when sorrowful, ask for her graces as she has promised to grant.
The bible says:
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Matthew 7:7
Help for every problem you could encounter is there for the asking. These Holy visits seem to be reminders that we are not alone and to ask for help when needed, to open the lines of communication and become closer to our Lord and Holy Mother.

Patron to the Poor
St. Lawrence is one of those saints that we know very little about, other than the fact that he was an early martyr with an interesting twist to the story of his martyrdom.
The story goes that St. Lawrence was one of the Seven deacons of Rome under Pope St. Sixtus II who was executed a few days before St. Lawrence himself. Saint Lawrence was responsible for destributing alms to the poor and for keeping the church materials in order. When St. Lawrence knew that he was close to being arrested (after the Pope was arrested) it is said that St. Lawrence hurried to sell what he could of the churches valuables and distributed them to the poor and suffering before it could be seized.
When Lawrence was approached by a prefect of Rome and told to gather the church's treasures for confiscation, Lawrence gathered together all of the poor, ailing and suffering parishioners and presented them to the prefect as the "church's treasures". Not amused, the prefect had Lawrence arrested and had a special gridiron prepared to kill the deacon slowly by roasting. It's said that after suffering greatly on the gridiron, that St. Lawrence called out in what would be his last words, "It is well done! Turn me over."
The twist in the legend is that St. Lawrence is the saint believed to have saved the Holy Grail from being distroyed by the invading forces. The Holy Grail is the cup from which Jesus and the Apostles drank. When Lawrence was ordered to gather the treasures of the church, he was able to send the chalis to his family to hold for the church. Today the Holy Grail is housed in a cathedral in Spain. St. Lawrence is credited with the protection of one of our most sacred holy relics.
Maryshop.com has St. Lawrence medals and rosaries to remind you of the unfailing courage of this faithful servant of the Lord. St. Lawrences Feast Day is Aug 10th.
Saturday is The Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord
The Transfiguration of Jesus Christ is the moment Jesus revealed his glory as the Son of God to earthly and heavenly witnesses.
Jesus took John, Peter, and James with him to the top of Mt. Tabor to pray. As they prayed, Jesus' face changed and his robes emitted a bright light, brighter than anything the diciples had ever seen. Then Moses and Elijah appeared next to Jesus and began to speak to him of his coming departure. This startled John, Peter and James who could do nothing but watch as Christ transformed before them. Suddenly, a cloud appeared and enveloped them all. Then a voice was heard saying, "This is my son, whom I have chosen; Listen to him."
When the cloud had dispersed, Jesus stood alone, relieved of his heavenly visitors. He then made the three witnessing apostles promise to remain quiet about what they had seen on the mountain until Christ had died and risen.
The Feast of the Transfiguration is another opportunity to bring your family together to learn of the Light of the World, Jesus Christ, Son of our most holy Lord and of his metamorphesis on Mt. Tabor.
Visit Maryshop.com to find new ways to celebrate the feast of Jesus' Transfiguration or the feast day of any saint that you hold dear.
The"Luminous Mysteries" of Pope John Paul II
In 2002 Pope John Paul II introduced the 5 decades of the Mysteries of Light, recalling Jesus' public life from birth till his death. We meditate on these Luminous Mysteries on Thursdays.
The 5 Luminous Mysteries are:
The Baptism of Jesus - Jesus was baptised by John in the River Jordan. After the baptism, the sky opened up and Jesus was emersed in light. Then a voice was heard from heaven saying, "This is my son, whom I love; With him I am well pleased."
The Wedding of Cana - On the third day of the wedding of Cana in Galilee Jesus turned water into wine at the request of His Mother. This miracle convinced his disciples to follow him and revealed his glory.
The proclamation of the Kingdom of God - Jesus ministered in Galilee where he said, "The time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"
The transfiguration of Jesus - Jesus took Peter, John and James up Mt. Tabor with him to pray. As they prayed, Jesus' face changed and his robes emitted a bright light, and Moses and Elijah appeared. They spoke to Jesus of his coming departure. A cloud appeared and enveloped them all, then a voice said, "This is my son, whom I have chosen; Listen to him."
The Last Supper and Holy Eucharist - Jesus offers bread he has just blessed to his disciples saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it around saying, "this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for all for the forgiveness of sins."
Maryshop.com invites you to browse the various books and DVDs available that tell the full storys behind the mysteries of the rosary.
The Mysteries of the Rosary
Praying the rosary nourishes your relationship with God and the Holy Mother Mary.
Ruminating on the mysteries daily keeps your faith in the forefront of your mind, as it should be, as all of your thoughts and actions everyday should be done with the Word of God in mind. Many look to the Lord for comfort during trying times but the word of God is meant to be lived. Let every word from your mouth be lit by the light of Jesus Christ and with every action allow The Father to do his good works through you.
When praying the Rosary, Wednesday and Sunday the Glorious Mysteries are meditated upon.
Here are the 5 Glorious Mysteries:
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ—As Mary and Mary Magdalene arrived at the sepulcher, an angel appeared to them and said, "Fear not ye! For I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here. For he has risen, as he said." (Matthew 28, 1-6)
The Ascension of Jesus Christ—Jesus appeared before the apostles and said, "Peace to you" The apostles became frightened, believing that they were seeing a ghost. Jesus saw this and answered, "Why are ye troubled? And wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that I am he, handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having." He then showed them his hands and feet. "And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye—abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high." Jesus then led the apostles to Bethany, blessed them and ascended to Heaven to sit at the right hand of his Father. (Quotes from Luke 24, 36-51)
The Descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost—And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Act2, 1-4)
The Assumption of the blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven—The blessed joining of Mary with her divine son in Heaven.
The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth—There appeared a great sign in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. (Rev 12, 1)
MaryShop.com understands that your relationship with the Queen Mother is as important as your relationship with The Father. Our Rosaries are built to withstand the wear and tear of the most dedicated Prayer.
