Mark Pavelich, owner and president of Maximum Fighting Championship, is proud to announce that Mike Maurer of the Edmonton Eskimos has signed a contract to fight in the MFC card slated for March 10, 2006. Maurer, the Eskimos fullback who earned the Canadian MVP award at the 2005 Grey Cup, will make his professional mixed martial arts (Ultimate Fighting) debut at MFC 9 – No Excuses which will be held at Edmonton's Shaw Conference Centre.
"I want to let everyone know how excited I am about this opportunity," said Maurer. "I want to let everyone know how serious I am about my mixed martial arts training. This is not a hobby for me and I believe it is something that I will pursue full-time following my football career. I want to go as far as I can in the world of mixed martial arts and I am very happy that the Maximum Fighting Championship is the organization that is giving me my start."
Maurer, who currently trains in his home town of Regina, has been training in mixed martial arts for several years and has anxiously awaited the right opportunity to get in the ring and test his skills. Maurer will fight in a light heavyweight (205 lbs.) battle against a comparable opponent.
"I am thrilled that Mike has decided to join the Maximum Fighting Championship and the entire MFC family is particularly excited that his first fight will be held in Edmonton where fans of mixed martial arts and the Eskimos will get to see him in action," said Pavelich.
"I heard about Mike's interest in mixed martial arts during the Grey Cup and he had a phenomenal performance in the championship game. I believe Mike will follow that up with another spectacular showing in the Maximum Fighting Championship. The heart, dedication and athletic prowess he showed during the Grey Cup all lead me to think he will be a superstar in mixed martial arts."
"With Mike coming on board, we know we have made the right choice in making Edmonton the permanent home of the Maximum Fighting Championship. I believe this is the greatest sports city and the support we have received in the past proves my point."
In addition to Maurer in the "Superfight" of the night, middleweight Jason "The Athlete" Macdonald will be in action and the lineup for the evening will include an excellent light heavyweight showdown between Victor "The Matrix" Valimaki and Travis "The Gladiator" Galbraith. The remaining bouts for the 10-12 fight card will be announced in early 2006.
All fights in the Maximum Fighting Championship are sanctioned by the Edmonton Boxing and Wrestling Commission and follow the rules laid out by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
The Maximum Fighting Championship was the first professional mixed martial arts organization outside of Quebec to be fully sanctioned by an athletic commission in Canada. This will be the 10th show that the MFC has hosted.
To contact Mark Pavelich, please call (780) 995-9095. Arrangements can also be made through Mark to contact Mike Maurer.

AUSTIN -- The Capital Area Food Bank of Texas distributes food to 300 non-profits across 21 counties. The work of inspecting donations and packing it up is mostly done by volunteers. Even school groups, like fourth and sixth graders from Kirby Hall, help with the lighter items about once a week.
Currently the bank is two-thirds full, and Director John Turner says they flip the entire inventory every month.
"Sadly for the last three years, on average, we're distributing about two million pounds of food a month," said Turner.
That food feeds about 48,000 people a week.
"Two out of every five of our clients are children," Turner said.
Last year, Capital Area Food Bank had 19,000 volunteers, but they're always in need of more. Turner says they couldn't provide without community support and that "at this time, any monetary donations are very much appreciated." Currently, there is a matching gift grant in place, so whatever you donate will be doubled.
Meals on Wheels is looking for volunteers to make deliveries. Year-round the nonprofit brings 3,500 meals a day to residents.
Stacy Mefford is one of nearly 7,000 Meals on Wheels volunteers. She's been delivering for more than 15 years and says it benefits her.
Currently 39 routes are without drivers. During the holiday season, more cancellations are expected.
Meals on Wheels is looking for both permanent and fill-in helpers
You can still donate in areas across Austin. There are various organizations seeking volunteers:
"Stuff the Bus" Dec 14-16th - Fill a Capital Metro bus with food.
Bring your non-perishable items to Whole Foods on Lamar. The bus will be parked outside Friday 8 a.m. through Sunday.
Follow #StuffTheBus hashtag on Twitter
No reservations. Show up at 8 a.m.
Locations to meet this Saturday to distribute toys for Blue Santa:
*Operation Blue Santa Warehouse - 4101 S Industrial Dr.
*North Substation - 12425 Lamplight Village
*South Substation - 404 Ralph Ablanedo
*Central Substation - 812 Springdale Rd
Click the link above for more information, or call 476-6325 and ask for Volunteer Services.

Post subject: New Jedi (I hope!)
Hey everybody! New member here, I've been lurking for a few months now ever since hearing about you at the 4th of July parade here in Provo. Well, for years I've been preparing a Jedi costume and it's almost ready! I just got the Kit Fisto FX lightsaber, which was the last piece I needed for my ensemble - I wanted a good, generic background lightsaber and this thing is a BEAUTY. I have the boots, the outfit, the complete belt -- I have a question though before I submit!
See, my outfit is all earth tones, but the tunic/tabbards are an earthy gray color. They ARE earth tones, just raw, stony gray earth tones, lol. Is that OK? My character is a DISTINCTLY OT Jedi, but I really, really wanted the basic parts of the outfit in gray; I have since I was a kid and I made up this character. Do you think it will pass? All the other parts (pants, robe, under-tunic) are in browns and tans. How severe are they with the color standards? I don't have pictures yet I'm taking them later this week.
Other than that I'm really excited for my costume. My dad does professional tayloring so it's a gorgeous costume, regardless of the colors -- all rich, thick materials layered to perfection, plus GREAT boots and the utopia base belt. I'm a school-teacher/university student so I get to wear it a lot, and now that I finally have a worthy lightsaber I figured this was the next step! I don't know much about how things work here, but if you guys can guide me through the beginning I'd love to be a part of what you guys do, and I'm excited to learn more!

Hopefully you'll be well on your way to approval soon

I'm admittedly not an expert on the Jedi standards, but I'm sure some of our more experienced Jedi can give you pointers. If it won't work, you might consider putting together a second costume as formal (or swap out the gray parts on this one), and then submit this one as an informal. That way it's still on your profile and exactly the way you want it. Informal would still let you troop most events. Welcome to the boards, we're happy to see you
ETA: You may also want to check on the Jedi forums, as the LCJ's (Legion Costume Judges) will sometimes chime in on those threads.

One of the Temple subject matter expects here! =D
Okay, Jedi attire colors. I'll address both sects so we get them both out of the way.
Prequel: This is an fine line, since during last year, the color range was narrowed into being specifically shades of brown for generic Old Republic Prequel Jedi...which honestly is not the definition of earth tones, but that's what standards from command say until otherwise revised. It used to merely be tones that occur in nature, but as of May last year, it's been specified to natural shades of brown.
Classic and beyond: If you're going for a NEW Republic Jedi(meaning the classic Trilogy and beyond in the timeline), you should be good, there's a lot more freedom there. Allowed colors include grays, blacks, reds, it's pretty much natural colors, just nothing bright and obnoxious like pink or neon shades. The main restriction in costume really for color in accessories is no red lightsabers, as, even though hero characters have owned Red sabers, the Legion ruling is that Red is Dark Side only to avoid confusion

Yes, do post or email me some pictures and we could make sure all is in order. We're always glad to have more Jedi.
I would need to see the context but gray is probably fine for a
New Republic Jedi
. The major hangup color wise is black or bright colors on
Old Republic Jedi
. A lot of other things are fine so long as it isn't too far out there.
I'm excited to see pictures, thanks.

So what should we expect from the subject matter? I'm confused...
I just want to say welcome to the Base and the Temple. I agree with the others, pictures will make all the difference.

Thanks for all of your counsel! Everything else about the costume is strictly OT -- covertech lightsaber clip, green prequal-era lightsaber, tan pants and undertunic, brown robe -- besides that, the grays are warmer and earthier than Zett Jukassa's costume on-screen, whose costume was done in entirely cool shades of gray. Face character/shmace character - gray is an earth tone!
I hope once I get my pictures taken you can all see what I'm talking about. As I formally dislike the EU, and thus, the "New Republic" take on things, I really, REALLY want my costume passed off as OT. Expect some pictures in the next few days!
You have all been SO kind and helpful to me, by the way. I really appreciate that! I look forward to being a part of events soon, as there is always a shortage of good Jedi. Isn't that always the way of things, though?

Oh, and Mr. (Master?) Iconic Design, I assume you are in the upper levels of this organization, so could I just e-mail you the pictures when I have them? How do I find your e-mail? I'm still not sure about the process of getting anything approved in these parts; there's more bureaucracy here than in the third season of Clone Wars ...

Thank you great ionic one (I promise I won't mess that up again) - PM replied to!
I'm really excited about this; hopefully my pictures can be up soon so you can all see what I've been working on! We definitely need more generic OT Jedi here, and I'm excited to contribute. At last I can find places to wear this thing besides just during Halloween! After working on it for 3 years I should hope to use it more often than that.

A question; You say OT Jedi. Are you meaning the Prequels, or the Original movies, because your statement of using a covertech would imply a Prequel Trilogy(PT) Jedi, not an Original Trilogy(OT) Jedi who use d-ring hooks, and are considered New Republic. I think you have your terminology flipped, which is possibly leading to some confusion on which style of Jedi you're intending to make for your costume.

Ah, a keen eye makes a keen catch. I meant to distinguish my character from New Republic affiliations by using the term OT as a blanket term when I ought to have said "canon" or "PT." Forgive!
I shall be explicit: my character is a Prequal-era Jedi Knight, specifically around episodes II and III (technically he would blend in best with episode II Jedi). He has a covertech clip, a prequal-era clan lightsaber, and happens to wear a warm gray tunic/tabbard ensemble set against tans and browns.
Sorry, I know pictures will clear this all right up, but for now pardon my loose application of the terminology; I know how precise Star Wars fans like to be.

Enough talk . . . lets see some pics!
But seriously, welcome aboard. Don't fret too much about if your costume meet the standards first time around. If I can tell you one thing is that every costume is always a work in progress, even those of us who have been approved. But don't worry, we'll get you there.

Virtual L ®
Thankfully for modern guests of the hotel, the Medinah folks spent all their funds on lavish, Moorish-influenced interiors; included among them is the seven-story lobby with themed rooms such as the Spanish court, featuring a grand fountain and stenciled gothic arcades. There are a bevy of craftsman touches throughout the hotel, including a frieze in one of the ballrooms that depicts stories of King Arthur and Parsifal. The piece de resistance is the grand pool room: Tricked out like a Roman cabana, with palm trees and a 120,000-gallon swimming pool, it was a favorite of Olympic gold medalist and original Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller.
If you're willing to pay sultan prices, hole up in the two-story presidential suite with a gabled fireplace and luxuriant pink draperies. For the rest of us, the hotel features 791 guest rooms, each with city and lake views, a 27-inch television, high-speed Internet and a mini bar. Rooms start at $189 on weekdays and $215 on weekends. Don't blow all your money on the mini bar; the lobby bar is a traveler's oasis, serving up one of the best martinis in Chicago alongside a complimentary spicy cocktail mix. For oenophiles, Eno offers the delightful trio of wine, chocolate and cheese. But before all that drinking, you'll want to line your stomach, so head to the hotel's contemporary American restaurant, Zest, for paella and couscous.

Postcard from camp: Panthers
Story Highlights
Ryan Kalil's Super Bowl guarantee has been met with support from the Panthers
Cam Newton will be smarter this season about when to run, based on the defense
Rookie LB Luke Kuechly has stunned the team with how quickly he's adapted
SI.com has dispatched writers to report on NFL training camps across the country. Here's what Don Banks had to say about Panthers camp in Spartanburg, S.C., which he visited on July 30. Read all of our postcards here.
At Wofford College in the genteel city of Spartanburg, S.C., the only training camp home the Panthers have ever had in the franchise's 18 seasons. Team owner Jerry Richardson played at Wofford back in the day and has the school's Physical Activities Building named after him, which is the least the school could do since he probably paid to have it built. The night I was at practice, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was on hand to read a proclamation honoring Richardson for bringing the NFL to the Carolinas. She kept mentioning with pride 20 years of Panthers football, even though we're not even at 19 yet. But you know what they say: Never let the facts get in the way of a good proclamation.
1. I'm not sure Ryan Kalil taking out a full-page newspaper ad to promise a Super Bowl championship to Carolina fans would go over well in every NFL organization. (Can you imagine the fallout in New England, where they actually own a Lombardi or three? "You did what?,'' a certain hoodie-wearing coach might ask his veteran offensive center). But this isn't Foxboro, and Kalil's bold form of personal expression has been viewed as anything but a negative. His teammates embraced his message, as did his head coach, Ron Rivera, and even normally cautious Panthers general manager Marty Hurney told me he liked Kalil's tone and willingness to express confidence in his team.
The part I love is that Kalil didn't even bother to tell anyone or clear it with anyone in Carolina's front office or coaching staff. He just did it, and lived with the consequences. He said he didn't want to dilute or paraphrase his message in any way, so he figured a full-page ad was the best way to have complete control over his words. Of course, as an old print journalism guy, I'm for anything that helps the struggling newspaper industry stay afloat.
"I wanted to kind of give the fans a reason to get behind us,'' Kalil told me. "It was a letter intended for the fans, by a fan of the game. I think a lot of people forget that, as players we were and are fans of this game. I knew I'd get some heat for it and rightfully so. It's a bold prediction to make. But I wanted to let the fans know we were getting serious about being good again, and let them know their unwavering support will pay off because better years are to come.''
2. I heard something really smart from Panthers quarterbacks coach Mike Shula, who probably doesn't get enough credit for Cam Newton's rookie success in 2011. I asked Shula if the Panthers would prefer Newton didn't run the ball another 126 times this season (about eight times per game), in order to save his body, or if you can't limit that part of his game because it's so pivotal to how he challenges a defense? Shula said he talked with ex-Falcons head coach Dan Reeves about it, because Reeves faced the same issue once Atlanta drafted Michael Vick in 2001.
"With Vick, he said if teams were playing him in a lot of zone, with everybody facing (the quarterback), they didn't want him running much and exposing him to a lot of hits that way,'' Shula said. "I'm not saying that's what we're going to do with Cam, because he's a lot bigger than Michael. But it made a lot of sense to us, and it made a lot of sense to Cam, too. He understands, if he's scrambling, and he's got man coverage, he's not going to get three or four guys hitting him. In zone that can be the case, and he'll get down quicker. But when it's man, he knows if he can make that one guy miss, make a move, he'll get a lot more yards.''
3. We're not supposed to root for players in my line of work. But an exception is allowed from time to time, and I'm using one to pull a little for Carolina outside linebacker Thomas Davis this season. You know the gist of his story. He has fought his way back from a third torn ACL in the past three years, the first known NFL player to have come back three times from that demoralizing injury. I can't imagine what it feels like trying to push that same rock back up the hill over and over, but Davis, 29, is progressing well enough and figures to be the team's fourth linebacker, playing in combination on the strong side with starter James Anderson. Davis, the Panthers' first-round pick in 2005, deserves a season of health, good fortune and anything but more days spent rehabilitating his battle-scarred knees.
Luke Kuechly, outside linebacker. The term "pro-ready'' gets thrown around entirely too much in the pre-draft scouting process, but in Kuechly's case, the label is the only one that fits. The Panthers' first round pick, taken ninth overall, has looked like he belongs in the starting lineup from day one of camp. Shifting to the weak side in order to make room for returning middle linebacker Jon Beason, who lost almost all of last year to an Achilles tendon tear, Kuechly has been wowing everyone with his instinctive style of play. His play recognition skills are excellent, and the game is definitely not moving too fast for him so far, in that typical rookie way. If Kuechly isn't seriously in the running for the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year award by October, it'll be an upset.
"He's got a natural feel for the game and great instincts,'' Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said. "You watch tape or watch him live and you'll say, 'That's not the kind of play you would expect a rookie to make.' He's a very good football player and he's going to help us.''
Mike Tolbert, running back. Even with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart already spearheading the Carolina running game, just watch how the Panthers find ways to use the versatile ex-Charger. Both Rivera and Carolina offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski worked on Norv Turner's staff in San Diego and they know what Tolbert can do: 735 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns in 2010, with 54 receptions and eight rushing touchdowns last year.
Add in his special teams contributions -- he had a team-best 12 tackles in San Diego last season -- and Tolbert is one of the more valuable members of the Carolina roster. At 5-foot-9, 243 pounds, Tolbert is a handful to bring down, and his north-south running style is already a popular sight at Panthers camp. He signed with Carolina in free agency because he wanted to be closer to his native Georgia, and his ability to block, run, catch and do just about anything asked of him on special teams renders him one of the best low-profile acquisitions of the NFL offseason.
Just where the young and hungry Panthers stack up in the NFC South this season should be determined early, with Carolina facing all three of its division foes in the first four weeks of the season. The Panthers help open the Greg Schiano era in Tampa Bay in Week 1, then draw the suspension-weakened Saints for their Week 2 home opener, before a Week 4 trip to Atlanta rounds out their challenging September (a Week 3 Thursday night primetime home game against the Super Bowl champion Giants is no picnic either).
Carolina won four of its final six games last season, and the Panthers need to build on that momentum with a hope-infusing fast getaway. It helps that the Panthers get to stay home for four of their first six games, playing half of their Bank of America Stadium schedule before the start of the World Series. But equally important to a good start is a strong finish. Carolina showed a propensity to lose sizable second-half leads in 2011, and closing the deal late in games is the obvious path to playoff contention this year.

Common Nighthawk member of nightjar family of birds
Some times, I am not the easiest person to engage in conversation. Some times, in the middle of a talk, such as one I was having with friends outside Mid City Grill in Johnson City on a recent Friday evening, I may exclaim that I have just heard a new bird for the year!
Once everyone recovered from the non sequitur surprise of my outburst, I explained that I'd heard a Common Nighthawk. After some polite interest is expressed from the non-birders in the group, I informed them that the Common Nighthawk produces an unusual vocalization that is sort of like an electric buzzer.
I'd already confused the entire group, which may explain why one person misheard and thought I had just observed an "electric buzzard." After a few good laughs at trying to imagine what such a bird might look like, conversation drifted away from bird talk, although I kept straining to hear more Common Nighthawks. This vocalization has also been described as a nasal "peent."
With the addition of the Common Nighthawk as Bird No. 169 on my year list, I entered the final stretch in my goal to see 200 species in 2013 in the five-county area of Northeast Tennessee.
So, what is a Common Nighthawk? First, this bird, despite what is implied by its name, is not a hawk. It's also not strictly nocturnal.
My observation of this particular Common Nighthawk completed my tally of the members of the nightjar family found in the region during the summer months. The nightjar family is represented by three species of birds — Common Nighthawk, Whip-poor-will and Chuck-will's-widow in Northeast Tennessee.
Readers may recall from earlier columns that I have already heard Whip-poor-wills and Chuck-will's-widows this year.
Some years, I will hear Common Nighthawks much earlier in the year than July 12. I was never too worried, however, about adding this bird to my list. Each fall, Common Nighthawks form large flocks, ranging in size from dozens to hundreds or even thousands of individuals, as they migrate south for the winter.
The Whip-poor-will, after the Common Nighthawk, is the second most widespread member of its family to spend its breeding season in North America. The Whip-poor-will ranges from southern Canada to the Gulf states. The Whip-poor-will also occurs in Arizona, New Mexico and southwestern Texas. The Whip-poor-will favors habitat consisting of deciduous woodlands and the edges of forests.
All members of the nightjar family feed exclusively on insects that are caught on the wing. In this respect, the nightjars can be considered the nocturnal counterparts of the swallows. The nightjars have comparatively large, gaping mouths they use to scoop up flying insects. They also have large eyes, an adaptation to their nocturnal lifestyle.
Whip-poor-will numbers have apparently been declining in the past few decades. These nocturnal birds frequent woodland edges, but they seem to be rather particular about such habitats. A forest that is too mature seems to hold little interest for them. Disturbed habitats, such as those created by logging, are acceptable to the birds once secondary growth begins. As this new growth matures, however, the Whip-poor-will apparently abandons such territory. Because of these requirements, Whip-poor-wills can be somewhat localized in their distribution and sometimes difficult to locate.
When I was a kid one of my favorite summer activities was sitting on the front porch of my grandparents' home on Simerly Creek Road and listening to the Whip-poor-wills call after dark. I remember how the plaintive call would be repeated for long intervals before a passing automobile's headlights might frighten the bird into silence for a short while. Then, tentatively, the calls would renew.
Today, I'm living in my grandparents' old home and the Whip-poor-wills no longer call. Well, there was a single individual that called for a single evening back in May of 1997, but that was apparently a migrating bird that did not remain in the surrounding woodlands.
The only member of the nightjar family that I dependably encounter at home on Simerly Creek Road these days is the Common Nighthawk, and then only during that narrow window of late summer and early autumn.
So, keep looking skyward. The next flock of migrating Common Nighthawks may fly over your home. These flocks are usually on the move from mid-August to mid-September.
Unlike Whips and Chucks, the Common Nighthawk does fly only at night, which makes it much easier to observe these birds. They look somewhat like swifts and swallows but are much larger. They are brownish-gray birds with pointed wings and forked tails. They are easily identified by distinctive white patches on the underside of their wings.
The nightjar, or Caprimulgidae, family of birds is also sometimes known as "goatsuckers." There are almost 80 species of nightjars in the world. Less than 10 occur in North America. The Common Nighthawk, Whip-poor-will and the Chuck-will's widow are neotropical migrants. While they breed in a wide range of territory in North America, they spend their winters in Central and South America. Like all nightjars, Common Nighthawks feed almost exclusively on insects, which they catch on the wing.
Keep looking skyward once August arrives, and you're likely to see one of these impressive migration flights of Common Nighthawks. I've seen flocks that would easily number more than 500 birds in locations ranging from Greeneville and Unicoi to Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park in Elizabethton.

FrazierWall Linux is a single floppy distribution Linux firewall that is based on the Linux Router Project. It is designed for use with ethernet base internet connections (such as cable modems or xDSL lines). It allows you to share such a connection with several other computers on a LAN. It is easy to setup and maintain, and is available in a Linux configurable software version.
glogin is a program that can be used to cause a terminal (usually a virtual console) to be logged in automatically, without having to type a userid and password. Stick it in place of getty in /etc/inittab to have terminals come up logged in and at a shell prompt at every boot. Same purpose as 'alogin', but you use it a little differently, and it does a little more of the usual login stuff. It is a simple Perl program, and can be easily customized.
openMosixLOAF (openMosix Linux-On-A-Floppy) is a single floppy openMosix Linux mini-distro designed for harddiskless systems or HPC clusters where only CPU and memory is needed. It has drivers for all PCI Ethernet NICs that the Linux kernel has support for (10/100/1000) and comes on only one bootable 1.6MB 3½" floppy diskette, ready to be a node in your HPC cluster.
sysv-rc-conf gives administrators an easy-to-use curses interface for managing /etc/rc{runlevel}.d/ symlinks. The interface comes in two different flavors, one that simply allows turning services on or off and another that allows for more fine tuned management of the symlinks. It's a replacement for programs like ntsysv or rcconf.
Garbure is a collection of dedicated distributions. Each distribution provides carefully selected tools for a specific target domain, and is completed with examples and documentation. The set of distributions forms an entity, but each distribution works also on its own. All elements are arranged in the same way for each distribution.

Olympia Entertainment and several other businesses).
"Ernie Harwell was the most popular sports figure in the State of Michigan. He was so genuine in everything that he did - from his legendary broadcasting to the way he treated the fans and everyone around him. He was truly a gentleman in every sense of the word. Ernie has a special place in the hearts of all Detroit Tigers' fans and the memories he created for so many of us will never be forgotten. Baseball lost a legendary voice this evening and we have all lost a dear friend. Marian and I, and our entire organization, extend our deepest sympathies to Ernie's wife, Lulu, and to the Harwell family."
The following statement is attributable to David Dombrowski, president, CEO and General Manager of the Detroit Tigers.
"Ernie was so engaging. He had such a genuine gift of making people feel like he was your friend. Ernie made you feel good about life, and brought a smile to everyone he knew. His passion and wisdom during each broadcast gave you insight to his love for the Tigers, and for the state of
Michigan. The entire Detroit Tigers' family extends their heartfelt condolences to his wife, Lulu, and the Harwell family."
The following statement is attributable to Christopher Ilitch, president and CEO of Ilitch Holdings Inc.
"We lost a true legend today -- not just in baseball, but in life. Ernie was one-of-a-kind. He was warm, passionate and had an unmatched love for the game of baseball... and he also loved Detroit and entire State of Michigan. We were lucky to have Ernie in our lives; he will surely be missed by baseball fans and anyone who has ever had the privilege to meet him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Lulu and the Harwell family."

If you'd prefer a fine-grained perspective on all the data you've collected with your form, you'll likely want to view the responses in a spreadsheet or download a CSV with response data.
View the summary of responses
To quickly see how many users filled out a form and what their responses are, you can check out the response summary. From your form, click the Responses menu and select Summary of responses.
If you'd like respondents to be able to see this same summary of responses, check the box in the "Confirmation page" section of your form labeled Publish and show a link to the results of this form. When this box is checked, users who respond to your form will see a "See previous results" link, which they can click to view the response summary.
View form responses in a spreadsheet
To see a spreadsheet with responses to your form, click the View responses button in the toolbar. Learn more about storing responses in a spreadsheet.
Download responses as a CSV
To download all the responses your form has received, click the File menu, select Download as, and click Comma Separated Values.
Manage responses
Monitor for multiple submissions
As you're reviewing responses to your form, keep in mind that you can't prevent users from submitting a form more than once, so the same person may have submitted multiple responses. If you use Google Apps, you can choose to record the email addresses of people who fill out your form and then easily identify any duplicate responses.
Stop collecting form responses
To close your form to new responses, click the Accepting Responses button in the toolbar to toggle responses off. The toolbar button will then say "Not accepting responses." If you'd like to re-open your form to responses again later, you can click this button again to toggle responses back on.
If a form is no longer accepting responses, visitors to the form will see a message letting them know their responses won't be collected. To customize this message, change the text that appears under the heading "This form has been turned off," which appears near the top of your form.
Copy a form or spreadsheet
You can copy any form or spreadsheet by clicking the File menu and selecting Make a copy. Copying a form will copy only the questions and layout, not the responses you've already received.

The picture above is from my old Prodigy website. Unfortunately, my password no longer works there so I can't upload any pictures. Eventually, I suppose they'll discover that the site isn't valid any more, and that picture will go away. The new site under Verizon is still a "project."Originally posted by treebeau:

Just pulling your leg, Tim. Sounds like you've got a good source for building materials.Originally posted by treebeau:
As for my drinking habit, I am a lightweight. I asked a waitress at a nearby Italian restaurant to collect wine corks for me. Every time I went in there she pulled out a basket of them and transferred them to a doggie bag for me. Then the entire restaurant staff got involved including the owner. No matter who saw me, they would pull out the corks.
How would you cut them? Sharp knife?Originally posted by treebeau:
Not sure that I have enough corks for that table yet, but know where to get them. And I probably would if I cut them in half, but that's cheating.
I've done that, too and had it split the wood. It depends on how much wood you can put behind the drywall, which also depends on how big a hole you made in the first place. By the time I get it big enough to feel confident I won't split the wood, the hole is big enough to warrant two pieces!Originally posted by treebeau:
BTW, whenever I patch drywall, I do it very much like you said with an exception. Instead of gluing in the backer stick (paint stirrer) I screw it into place with drywall screws. Then I screw the patch to the stick. Since you're spackling anyway, embed the screws just below the surface and spackle over them. Works great and is just a little faster.
Finally got the LJ coupling off last night. Here are links to the last two entries in my blog related to removing that sucker.Originally posted by treebeau:
My first foray in this thread.
Since I post this stuff in my blog, I will simply give you links to the blog entries.
I'm repairing my logsplitter. The engine works but it is not turning the hydraulic pump. The problem is a broken "Lovejoy coupler" mounted to the pump shaft. Replacing them "should be" easy and 8 years ago I did it with no trouble at all. This time, trouble.

86% of the CEO
Roger D. Linquist
I worked at MetroPCS as a contractor for less than a year
Pros – Decent corporate office in Richardson. Some good people.
Cons – Much change and uncertainty due to acquisition by T-Mobile. Lots of politics like is typical in IT and in Telcos.
Advice to Senior Management – Get over your insecurities and politics. Wake up and reward good ideas and good performance. (or just keep messing things up and then hop jobs as Telco execs and mgrs. often do).
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at MetroPCS full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Easy job, enough to get by, nearly stress free
Cons – tons of stipulations to bonus/commission, no health/401k/etc.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at MetroPCS full-time for more than a year
Pros – Excellent benefits package for full time employees, flexible scheduling for all employees, some interesting incentive programs, and some of the managers are very skilled and helpful.
Cons – Top sales people get treated like they're invisible if they are not overly social, in the "cool" crowd or pals with a manager, low commission structure, and "blacklisting". In other words, you can forget ever advancing to management if you ever have a problem and you need help with it. Open door policy is a joke, and the company doesn't care about other human beings. Not designed for a single mother to progress and take care of her family.
Advice to Senior Management – Recognize and appreciate your hard workers and your dedicated, most motivated sales people. They are hard to find and they are a rare breed. They are the people who bring customers to your stores and sometimes entice them to stay. Give them room to grow and develop instead of crushing their spirits.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at MetroPCS part-time for less than a year
Pros – - Low sales expectations
- Relaxed work environment
- Ability to read textbooks and study during slow periods
- Free phone service (corporate lends the device for you to use)
Cons – - If you're coming to Metro PCS with prior wireless experience, you'll be shocked at the compensation package (not in a good way).
- Sales Associates are paid hourly + a small monthly "bonus" that equals up to 10% of your earned wages during that month (if you manage to hit certain sales quotas as a store). For example, if you're a part-time rep working 30 hours a week and your store hits 150-200% of your goals, you can expect to receive around $200 as a bonus. In contrast, sales associates at other wireless carriers have individual quotas and can easily make 3x this amount in a month.
- Part-Time Sales Associates are NOT offered health insurance, paid time off, vacation/sick pay, etc. In contrast, Full-Time Sales Associates receive 100% premium paid health benefits for the employee + significant discounts on the monthly premiums for their dependents. FT reps also receive a generous amount of paid time off (typically 2+ weeks a year).
- The difference in pay between Part-Time and Full-Time associates is utterly ridiculous. Base pay for PT is 10.50/hr and base pay for FT is around 15-16/hr...REGARDLESS OF PRIOR WIRELESS EXPERIENCE.
- Part-Time associates are restricted in their abilities to perform even the most simple of tasks that are common responsibilities for ALL reps in other wireless outlets. This equates to part-time reps being treated little more than glorified cashiers and order takers. On the other hand, management is unable to place high expectations on part-time associates because of their limited role in the store.
Advice to Senior Management – - Stop treating part-time associates like they're just warm bodies to fill a store vacancy.
- At least have the decency to OFFER part-time associates the ability to even PAY to join your group insurance policy. Your HR representatives will STILL go over the full-time associate compensation package during the part-time rep orientation. I find this to be a bit unethical and cruel to new hires who are just starting to form an opinion of Metro PCS.
- Part-time associates also deserve to be paid more than $10.50/hr, especially since most of these individuals are having to purchase health insurance elsewhere. You can't expect employees who are only making $1k a month with no benefits nor opportunities to advance to "full-time status" to want to stay any longer than necessary with your company. This is definitely apparent in the numerous internal e-mails that advertise the latest job openings (most are part-time).
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at MetroPCS part-time
Pros – You get cell phone service from them for $30, but its still pretty crappy service.
Cons – You get treated horrible, and the management is terrible and intimidate you to try and sell more.
Advice to Senior Management – Have a heart and learn that intimidation doesn't make people productive in the long run.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at MetroPCS full-time for more than a year
Pros – average workload, small company benefits of no pressure job
Cons – no trainings, no mentoring, no education help or benefits, poor upper management, poor career advancement support from upper management
Advice to Senior Management – employees' skills are something called "you reap what you sow". no technical trainings and no further educational or career advance help from the company hurt first the employee and the most to company. Employee who want to get better at what they do will move on eventually for better opportunity. So who is losing eventually ?!?!
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at MetroPCS part-time for less than a year
Pros – Getting paid a hourly rate and commission is always a plus. This job also offers the freedom of not having to deal with a manager constantly nagging you.
Cons – Commission rate is terrible, not worth the effort. Hourly rate below minimum wage. The lack of staff means that you'll be working at different stores often and wont find out until last minute. Impossible to call off since your the one opening and closing the store.
Advice to Senior Management – Raise rates of pay and offer more realistic goals.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at MetroPCS full-time for less than a year
Pros – not a lot of workload
Cons – changing schedule within 1-2 hours before hand
telling you to leave and then come back when they do no pay for your gas
working every sunday because you are the back up
all they care about is the store, not if you are ok
no commission nor bonuses (wishingstar wireless)
no health insurance
minimum pay when you are doing manager's job
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at MetroPCS part-time for more than a year
Pros – starting pay was 8/hour which was okay for a summer job at the time.
flexible schedule ...if you let them know a month in advance
Cons – wasn't paid fairly though. my boss wouldn't look at clocked hours just what was on schedule. i would sometimes stay an hour after closing to help customers.
i was usually the only one at the store with no breaks.
my boss would pay the full-time employees "salary pay" and he wouldn't pay them overtime when they were working 60 hours a week. could have been my boss but it was so ridiculous.
Advice to Senior Management – since all stores are privately owned, you should really pay attention to the owners of the stores to make sure they follow protocol. owners like the one i worked for were sneaky and left a bad taste in the mouth of many.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at MetroPCS full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – help people save money.
show people that having a smart phone can improve their live.
having people leave happy from the store.
Cons – same people not all are very stingy.
too many cheap phones.
Phones brake up so fast.
Advice to Senior Management – higher pay rate.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Cocktail purists and experts, read no further. What follows may cause your skin to erupt in red, itchy spots.
My knowledge about spirits is next to nil, but I've reached a time in my life when I can imagine a weekend night in with just me, the radio, and a cocktail.
First, what's a true Old Fashioned? Secondhand information suggests this American invention originally called for a combination of spirits, sugar, bitters, and water. Over time, spirits came to mean American whiskey, typically rye (mainly rye) or bourbon (mainly corn). (By the way, today I heard Peggy Noe Stevens of Bourbon Women say on Good Food that more than 95% of the world's bourbon is produced in Kentucky.)
That's the original. Now here's my twist. First, I used a scotch whiskey (whiskey made in Scotland) that is probably best sipped neat and not in a cocktail. It's what I had, and this being my first homemade cocktail, I wasn't ready to go out and buy an entire bottle of American whiskey for the sake of tradition. Second, I added the juice of the Golden Nugget mandarin. Purists challenge the presence of citrus in an Old Fashioned, but people who, like me, are new to whiskey, citrus is a welcome buffer.
This is one of the easiest cocktails to make, so give it a try. I might need one tonight as a study break.
Old Fashioned with Mandarin
Adapted from Chow.com
2 wedges mandarin (or orange)
1 tsp. sugar
2 dashes angostura bitters
1 tsp. water
2 oz. whiskey (rye or bourbon, though scotch whiskey worked for me)
- In an Old Fashioned glass or small tumbler, muddle 1 slice of your citrus, sugar, bitters, and water. Remove the citrus rind.
- Add the whiskey and ice. Stir.
- Garnish with a slice of citrus and serve. Or: Twist a piece of the citrus peel instead, and add that to the drink.

ADA News
FDA establishes tobacco control center
Silver Spring, Md.—The Food and Drug Administration moved quickly to assert new tobacco control authority, inviting public and professional advice and establishing a Center for Tobacco Products.
ADA staff is preparing a response to the invitation for advice on implementing the Association-supported Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which the president signed into law in June. Dr. Kathleen O'Loughlin, ADA executive director, was among invited guests for the bill-signing ceremony in the White House Rose Garden (ADA News Today June 22, FDA granted authority to regulate tobacco).
The new FDA Center for Tobacco Products "will use the best available science to guide the development and implementation of effective public health strategies to reduce the burden of illness and death caused by tobacco products."
The FDA said Lawrence Deyton, a physician and expert on veterans' health issues, will serve as the center's first director. He was chief public health and environmental hazards officer for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Dr. Deyton, a clinical professor of medicine and health policy at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, was a founder of the Whitman Walker Clinic, a community-based AIDS organization in Washington, D.C., offering medical, dental and other services.

"We are doing an adult tea party and this invitation is absolutely perfect for the occasion. Perfect for a baby girl yet sophisticated for adults. The review team even added an introductory phrase for me that wasn't on the invitation & made it look great like it was supposed to be there from the beginning. Thank you so much for the perfect invitation!"
"I ordered this card to use as a celebratory luncheon invitation. The mother-to-be did not want a shower so I was challenged to find an invite that did not say "baby shower". With a little editing of the language, this card was perfect. The bright colors were exactly what I was looking for."
"This product exceeded my expectations. When I initially chose this design I loved the colour and was pleased to find that when you go into the editing options it allowed me the creativity to completely change all the wording to make it completely my own. Highly reccomend!"
"The invite is even cuter in person! Loved it! I did increase the font as much as I could (per another reviewer) and I am glad I did! It would have been very hard to read without the increased font sized. Very happy with the finished product!"
"Really appreciated your designer's prompt help on wording details. The guests were mostly couples, and the baby was guest of honor with the parents, so I needed expert guidance. The color scheme you offered matches baby's nursery colors exactly, which meant a lot to the new mother! Lots of compliments from the guests about the invitation as they responded. We put an extra invitation on display at the entry table. The party itself was a big success, no one wanted to leave!"
