In the fall of 1999, my wife and I visited the area that we would eventually call home three months later. Having spent 7 years in Western Kentucky and truly loving every minute of our existence there, I didn't exactly know what to expect living in the Northeast. But first impressions tend to be lasting impressions, and our relocation agent in nearby Allentown (who was assigned to assist us with our house hunting trip) didn't exactly roll out the red carpet or give us the warm fuzzies about leaving a place that we'd grown to love.
Jeanie was our relocation agent, and we explained to her that we weren't looking to buy a home right off the bat. The wife and I discussed this prior to moving and agreed that renting for a few years to get comfortable and acquainted with our new surroundings would be ideal for our situation. The most important thing that we communicated to her was that we were looking for a good school district for our kids, and right after that we were wanting to live in more of a rural area and avoid the inner city life at all costs. We have never been, nor will ever be, city people. I don't like traffic, I don't like crowds, and I've always appreciated having some sense of privacy. Give me a 2-lane road with farmland and mountains any day over the hustle and bustle of a busy city – I don't need to be able to get to the mall in 10 minutes or less. In fact, put me an hour away from the mall. I hate the mall. I hate everything about going to the mall, I'm not a mall guy.
But Jeanie didn't quite get the memo.
We spent the first two days looking at nearly every rundown row home and chronic fixer-upper in center city Allentown. I kept dropping subtle hints at every other traffic light that we came to, reminding her that (a) we weren't interested in buying a home and (b) that I despised traffic lights and overpopulated areas in general… but she continued with her own agenda and finally it dawned on me that the only thing she was interested in was making a sale. Knowing that if we continued the same process with her over our remaining two days on our trip that we'd end up not finding a place to live, I called her office the next morning and told her that she was no longer needed. She was shocked and almost impolite after learning that we no longer wanted her input, and I basically told her to have a good life. When I got off the phone with her, my opinion of the people living in the Lehigh Valley took a serious nosedive, which only motivated me to drive as far away as possible to find a place to live. A quiet place, above everything else.
The next morning my wife and I grabbed a quick breakfast and decided to head north up route 309. I pointed at a little spot on the map that said "New Tripoli" and told her that maybe we should start there. We heard good things about the school district, it was a very rural area with light population, and it would only add about 15 more minutes to my wife's commute to work each day. So that's where we headed. The little town of New Tripoli ended up being precisely what the doctor ordered. We found a new town home that was for rent, we liked the area, and it was a situation that we felt would be comfortable until we found something a little more permanent later on.
But the best part was that I'd scouted what appeared to be a really nice golf course only a mile up the road from where we'd be living. To suggest that this had nothing to do with my part of the decision would be a lie, for sure. And I think the wife knew that, but she also knew that it was a nice area with a good school, and that a golf course nearby would more than help her husband settle in and make new friends. It really was a win-win for everyone involved, except Jeanie of course.
The name of that golf course is Olde Homestead Golf Club, and I'll never forget the first time I took a tour of the place…. it was unlike any other course I'd ever stepped foot on. It was immaculate, the conditions, the scenery, the old Pennsylvania Dutch feel, the mountains, the wildlife – everything about it. Each hole that I toured only reinforced my notion that this was the greatest place on the golfing planet, and I couldn't wait to put a tee in the ground and give it a test run.
Over a dozen years worth of fond memories and approximately 1000+ rounds later, I still enjoy playing there as much today as I did many moons ago. A lot of golfers often lament that they get tired of playing the same course over and over, but I've never felt that way there. Even when I became a member at a private club several years ago, I still logged plenty of rounds there to more than qualify being a regular. With it only being a mile up the road from me, and having one of the best practice facilities in the Northeast, there was no way I could possibly avoid the place, and not that I ever wanted to. The owners, the staff, the quality of service and the warm hospitality – all of these things only enhance the experience of playing undoubtedly one of the best 18 hole golf facilities in the Lehigh Valley, public or private. In fact – I've probably played no fewer than 200 courses in the Northeast over the past 12 years, and Olde Homestead still ranks #1 on my personal ranking system, by far. There's not a single weak hole on the layout, and I feel like I'm appreciated there every time I walk through the gates. The people who make Olde Homestead what it is, and Olde Homestead the layout itself, have become family to me, my 2nd home only a mile down the road from where I live. But besides becoming my 2nd family and 2nd home, Olde Homestead also revealed the very thing that Jeanie failed to help me discover back in the fall of 1999: that my perception of the people in the Northeast couldn't have been more wrong.
When I finally get settled in London this summer, I'll have to find a new place to hang my golf hat for a few years. I've already made some inquiries and have my eye on a few places in particular, and they look relatively nice and enjoyable to play.
But no matter which course I play over there, it won't be Olde Homestead.

Doomed To Divorce? Wedding Red Flags! (Crazy News Quiz)
by Sheryl Stewart
posted Mar 10 2010 1:09PM
According to
this article in Cosmo
, you can tell if a couple is going to make it by watching them closely while they are planning their wedding. One of the big red flags is if the bride refuses to let the groom choose the wedding cake! According to an expert wedding planner, the groom should be responsible for at least one part of the wedding. A bride that refuses to let him do anything is too controlling and selfish for the marriage to work. Here's an excerpt:
It's true: Brides are almost always more interested in the minutiae of wedding planning than grooms are. But when I encounter a woman who refuses to relinquish any control to her fiancé, it doesn't bode well. I can think of a few instances in which the woman ruled the event with an iron fist and the couple ended up in divorce court a few years later. Basically, they weren't able to make decisions together.
On the flip side, it's a positive sign when a bride takes the time to understand which part of the wedding is most important to her groom and then gives him full say in that area. A couple I worked with years ago — who happen to still be very happily married — serves as an example. He couldn't have cared less about the flowers, color palette, and hors d'oeuvres, but he was completely obsessed with the cake. When it came time for the tasting, the bride said, "Let's get whatever you want." Whether it's the cake, the photographer, the open bar, whatever, a bride who lets her almost-hubby have some say proves she's empathetic, and a guy who wants his taste to count shows he's not aloof — both necessary traits for the relationship to pan out
Do you agree? I let my husband choose our wedding cake because he cared more about it than I did. I also let him pay for it. ;-)
Other red flags to look for include:
The Groom Lets His Mom Call the Shots
The Bride Blows Half the Budget on Her Dress
The Bride Freaks Over the Groom's Bachelor Party
The Bride and Groom Fight in Front of The Wedding Planner

We have a wonderful fig tree in our back garden, and this year I cannot keep up with all the fruit! We have had figs in salads, baked figs, figs and cheese - I have made fig chutney, bottled figs and figs in Armagnac...finally, I thought up this idea for a jam, as I think figs and ginger go so well together. It is delicious - and such a wonderful rich colour! Not only is it wonderful spread on toast or bread, but it is lovely dolloped on ice cream and hot desserts, or for steamed puddings! You need to use fresh figs for this recipe - you don't get the same results with dried figs.

Reviewed by 3 customers Sort by Displaying reviews 1-3 Pros Cons Best Uses Comments about RadioShack Solderless UG-88 Male BNC Plug: The center pin is too tight. I tried three times to connect this. Each time I re-stripped the cable. The third time was the charm. The center wire broke off inside the connector and rendered the it useless.
Best Uses
Comments about RadioShack Solderless UG-88 Male BNC Plug: Like the other reviewer, I too had a hard time reading the small print for the lengths. I used the metric lengths and was able to install it. The first time I installed it the center conductor was shorted to the shield, because the conductor had wound itself around and broken off. I had to extract the pin with hemostats and then ream the hole with a throwing dart. (That's a DIY project for you)The second time I trimmed about 1/8-3/16 off the center conductor and didn't tighten it as much. An ohmmeter measured zero resistance across center to center and shield to shield, with no shorts between them. I'd buy again, but I'd definitely trim the center pin down because I like to tighten the connector until it absolutely won't move.
Cons Best Uses Comments about RadioShack Solderless UG-88 Male BNC Plug: I bought this to put a wire together for an airplane radio/antenna. There is no issue with it except that you cannot read the dimensions on the package leaving it up to guess/common sense. I was able to find a clearer image on the internet and was able to verify the dimensions are 1/4" of braid and 9/16" of center conductor. The rest of the instructions were pretty clear.

The Blue Buffalo Foundation for Cancer Research
In 2003 the Blue Buffalo Foundation for Cancer Research and the Pet Cancer Awareness Program was formed to bolster awareness about pet cancer and raise support and money for various clinics and universities that conduct research on the causes of, treatment and prevention of cats and dogs with the disease.
Educating pet parents about reducing the risk of cancer in their pets as well as noticing the warning signs is one of the main functions of our mission. We've created a web site at petcancerawareness.org that is committed to providing all kinds of important information like cancer facts, valuable resources and even heartwarming stories about pets with cancer. You can make a donation here.
The month of May is Pet Cancer Awareness Month when we strive to raise funds to help fight against pet cancer. The funds raised are then distributed to organizations like the Morris Animal Foundation, the National Canine Cancer Foundation and others who are involved with cutting edge research on treatments and a cure for this disease. Because pet cancer affects whole families as well pets, we've added organizations like the Riedel and Cody Fund and the Kate Koogler Canine Cancer Fund among others. These organizations help pay the high cost of treatments for families who may not have the means to afford their pet's care.

Description This patent application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/245,706, entitled �Telephone with Dynamically Programmable Push Buttons for Access to Advanced Applications,� filed on Oct. 7, 2005 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,133,665, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/109,442, entitled �Telephone With Dynamically Programmable Push Buttons for Access to Advanced Applications,� filed on Mar. 28, 2002 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,978,129, issued Dec. 20, 2005), and assigned to the same assignee as these applications. The aforementioned patent applications are expressly incorporated herein, in their entirety, by reference. A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material which is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the United States Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever. The present invention relates generally to the field of telecommunications. More specifically, the present invention relates to a telephone with dynamically programmable push buttons that provide simple access to advanced applications that reside in a telephone network. Telephone network carriers, and in particular wireless carriers, derive revenue from air time usage and related services. Competition among telephone carriers for subscribers has lead to many carriers providing more air time minutes for the same dollar amount. To increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, interest in service, and revenue levels, what is needed are novel services and methods of providing those services to subscribers in a desirable and easy to use manner. Wireless telecommunication markets may be divided into two segments, a high end segment in which subscribers use their telephones on a regular basis and also subscribe to various voice services, and a low end segment in which subscribers do not use their telephones on a regular basis, such as with a prepaid service plan or a low minute plan in which the telephone is used for emergency purposes only. What is desired by a carrier is to increase air time and voice service usage of both the high and low end subscriber segments for the purpose of increasing revenue. By providing access to thousands of voice based applications, subscribers may use their telephones for purposes other than calling someone. With respect to the low end segment, voice based applications may be more important to subscribers than text and graphic based applications due to the fact that wireless devices that support text and graphics are generally more expensive and are not an option for low end subscribers. Conventional wireless telephones may now be used to gain access the Internet, which may be used for communication via text messages and for accessing information. For example, email may be accessed by dialing a phone number to a voice portal, such as a machine that communicates with a mark up language, such as XML. Voice portals may be expensive to develop and operate. For example, voicemail is one of the most common services offered by a carrier. If a carrier were to develop a business relationship with a third party that created a voice based application, such as voicemail, the carrier would only be responsible for providing access to the application, and not the application itself. Using this strategy, the carrier does not have to invest time and money into research, development, and application maintenance. The business relationship benefits the carrier by stimulating air time usage while providing application control for the carrier. In conventional telecommunications systems, a number of different telecommunications services, or applications, are offered to subscribers. Each telecommunications service requires a unique telephone number. Examples of telecommunications services that require a unique telephone number are automatic routing services, voicemail services, paging services, cellular phone services, and conference call services. One of the drawbacks of each service requiring a different telephone number is that managing multiple telephone numbers for a subscriber that uses multiple communications services can prove to be quite cumbersome. For example, a subscriber may have to provide a first telephone number for conference call services, a second telephone number for voicemail services, and a third telephone number for cellular services. Thus, a subscriber must remember all of the unique telephone numbers and what services are associated with each telephone number. Oftentimes, a party confuses the mapping of telephone numbers to services and reaches the wrong service when dialing the telephone number. For instance, a caller may dial a number thinking that he will reach a person, and instead the caller reaches his financial institution. Another drawback of conventional systems is the lack of choices regarding the telecommunications services that are provided to subscribers. A subscriber may want a choice in application providers so as to get the best possible service to fit his/her needs. For example, a subscriber may require a voicemail service with many different features and options, while a second subscriber of the same carrier may require only a basic voicemail service. Still further, a subscriber may wish to provide other people with access to his voicemail, which may require an even more complicated voicemail system. Unfortunately, with conventional systems such configurability of telecommunications services is not available. Moreover, a subscriber has difficulty managing a multitude of communications services, where each service has a different number. For example, if the subscriber wishes to update multiple aspects of his or her services over a phone, multiple iterative menu selections and presentations are required. Furthermore, a caller must typically call one number to update aspects of one service, and then call another number to update aspects of another service. Accordingly, there is a need for a device, such as a wireless telephone, which provides for easy access to a variety of advanced features which reside in a telephone network. The device must be easy to use by a subscriber, provide flexibility for the carrier in providing a wide range of advanced services to the subscriber, provide control for the carrier, provide the carrier flexibility in routing a call to a third party, and provide security for the carrier to ensure that competitors will not be able to use the subscriber's telephone for the advanced features. What is desired is a device and provisioning methods that allow a subscriber access to third party voice based applications, while at the same time providing increased revenue for a network carrier. In the preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a voice based device having simple, dynamically programmable push buttons. By providing a simple method for a subscriber to access pre-selected voice based applications, more air time may be generated by a subscriber which results in increased revenues for a network carrier. Each subscriber has the ability to select the applications that they want associated with the programmable buttons. Voice based applications may include applications offered by the network carrier, and applications offered by a third party. The device and systems of the present invention provide control for the network carrier while allowing a subscriber to access a host of voice based applications developed by the carrier, or by a third party. The systems of the present invention further allow a carrier to reduce the amount of capital invested into creating and developing applications on their own. An embodiment of the present invention provides a programmable communication device comprising communication hardware for sending and receiving telephonic signals, at least one programmable push button, a storage register associated with each of the programmable push buttons, and a unique programming permission code stored within the programmable communication device. A push button is operable for providing a user simple access to an advanced application in a telephone network. The storage register contains a directory number or a server address associated with an advanced application. The programming permission code is for security purposes and restricts a third party from use/reprogramming the programmable push buttons. In a preferred embodiment, a subscriber may choose each advanced application from a plurality of advanced applications provided by a network carrier. The subscriber then contacts the network carrier and assigns each chosen advanced application to a preselected programmable push button. The advanced application may include a voice based application, a text based application, a third party application, an information service application, and a conference bridge application. The advanced applications may reside anywhere in the telephone network. The programmable push buttons of the communication device may be programmed remotely or manually. The communication device of the present invention may include a wireless telephone, a wireline telephone, a personal digital assistant, and a pager. A further embodiment of the present invention provides a method of programming a communication device, wherein the communication device provides access to advanced applications in a telephone network. The method includes entering a unique programming permission code and identification information related to the communication device into a system database, providing the communication device to a subscriber, providing the subscriber with a plurality of advanced applications comprising destination codes, contacting the communication device, sending a programming message, the destination codes, and programming permission code to the communication device, verifying the programming permission code, and programming the dynamically programmable push button. The present invention provides a secure and easy to use method for personalizing subscriber applications. The amount of voice based applications that a subscriber may choose from is increased due to a network carrier providing access to third party applications. Due to the present invention, third parties are more likely to enter into a business relationship with a network carrier that provides easy access to that third parties' applications. Subscribers benefit by being able to receive a wider variety of applications. A network carrier benefits due to increased air time usage as a result of subscribers accessing the voice based applications, and also due to revenues from third parties as a result of providing subscriber access to third party applications. Additional objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will become more apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following, or may be learned by practice of the invention. As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein, however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention that may be embodied in various and alternative forms. Specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention. Conventional hardware and systems are shown in block diagram form and process steps are shown in flowcharts. Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals indicate like elements throughout the several figures, The terminating equipment in a wireless network 14 is �wireless� in the sense that the equipment is not connected by any lines or wires to network elements. The terminating equipment in a wireless network 14 (referred to herein as �wireless units�) receive communications through radio signals rather than through wire or fiber optics. A cellular telephone network is an example of a wireless network 14. Thus, a �wireless unit� is generalized to include a cellular telephone, a mobile telephone, a mobile station, a portable telephone, and other devices that receive communications through radio signals rather than through wire or fiber optics. The present invention may also be used in connection with any additional wireless system well known to those skilled in the art. As illustrated in Also, a wireless network 14 typically includes a geographic radio service area divided into cells. Each cell is typically serviced by a broadcast antenna 24 that permits communication between a wireless unit 20 operating within the area of the cell, and a cell control (also known as a base station). The cell control, in turn, is connected to a wireless network switch 22 (also referred to as a Mobile Switching Center (MSC)). The wireless network switch 22 communicates with the cell control either through dedicated telephone facilities, or more frequently, through a cell-to-mobile switching center data link disposed between the cell control and the wireless network switch 22. Generally, a wireless network switch 22 keeps up with the location of wireless units 20 that are deemed to be associated with that particular switch 22, such that the switch 22 is able to provide information with respect to the location and/or availability of any particular wireless unit 20. More specifically stated, the active status and/or availability of a wireless unit 20 in a particular area is typically made known to the relevant wireless network switch 22 as a result of a communication process between the wireless unit 20 and the cell control. The process is commonly known in the art as registration. Once a wireless unit 20 registers within a geographic area served by a wireless network switch 22, the switch 22 receives the registration information from the cell control and stores the pertinent information in a register, such as a Home Location Register (HLR) 26. If a wireless unit 20 is associated with a subscriber of that particular wireless network 14, then the registration information is stored in the HLR. In other words, the wireless unit 20 is considered to be operating within its home territory. On the other hand, if the wireless unit 20 is not associated with a subscriber of that particular wireless network, then the registration information may be stored in a Visitors' Location Register (VLR). In other words, the subscriber unit 20 is considered to be a visitor to the geographic area serviced by the wireless network switch 22. If necessary, the pertinent information relating to a particular wireless unit 20 is passed through the wireless network 14 to the wireless network switch 22 that is deemed to be the �home� switch of a particular unit 20. These registers, the Home Location Register (HLR) 26 and the Visitors' Location Register (VLR), are used by the wireless network 14, in any of several different manners well known to those skilled in the art, to work with the PSTN 12 in the routing of communications to and from subscriber units 20 and through the PSTN 12. Also illustrated in A service node 30 is used in the present invention for enhanced features and services that require user interaction, such as in voice based advanced applications and feature provisioning. For example, the service node 30 may be used in routing and setting up communications such as conference calls, voice calls to information services, calls to access an information service defined by a retailer, and any other voice based application present in a telephone network. A service node 30 is typically connected to one or more switches via an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) link 29. An ISDN link 29 provides Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and Basic Rate Interface (BRI) interfaces for voice and data channels between the service node 30 and the PSTN 12. A service node 30 may also comprise a conference bridge and a service node control computer. The conference bridge may comprise a switch for �bridging� or connecting conference participants. The service node control computer is a computer which executes software for connecting a dynamically programmable push button telephone user to their desired advanced application. Additionally, the service node control computer may be accessed for provisioning and maintenance purposes via the Internet and a firewall. To summarize, For the sake of simplicity, the foregoing descriptions of the PSTN 12 and wireless network 14 were limited to only a few examples of particular network elements and their respective interconnections. From this basic explanation of the network elements and their respective interconnections, those skilled in the art will understand the operation of the present invention in the context of the increased complexity present in today's telecommunications systems. Pursuant to one embodiment, each piece of terminating equipment in an advanced intelligent network is assigned a directory number. In the description of the present invention, the term �directory number� is used in its generally understood meaning to be the number which is dialed or input by a subscriber or source and used by the network carrier to route the communication so as to reach terminating equipment associated with the dialed directory number. A directory number may be commonly referred to as a telephone number, and in an Information Technology (IT) based system, a server address. Each application within the telephone network operates on an application platform. The network carrier has complete control over access to these applications. For example, the carrier may specify what services are available to a subscriber based upon the subscriber's account. Each application platform has a unique network identification code, which may be a directory number. For example, call conferencing is an application that runs on an application platform. A customer desiring to access a call conferencing application may simply actuate a dynamically programmable push button (PPB) for call conferencing that has been programmed with a directory number. Each PPB includes a storage register that contains the directory number of the advanced application that it provides direct access to. When a PPB is actuated, the directory number digits stored in the PPB register are pulsed out and the call is routed to the call conferencing application for further processing. Referring to The service node 30 includes an Automated Response Unit (ARU) 33 that provides voice response and menu routing functions to a subscriber. The ARU 33 facilitates caller input via selection of dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) digits, such as by pressing keys on a telephone keypad. The ARU 33 provides various automated menus which the caller may navigate through in order to program a desired service. The ARU 33 includes a network audio server which is a server computer that has a voice telephony interface to the service node 30. The audio server is linked to the service node 30 via multiple voice trunks and, in general, provides an audio interface to a subscriber. The ARU 33 also includes an automated call processor that provides intelligent call processing functions for the ARU 33. The ARU 33 is responsible for handling all initial inbound calls for the platform. The automated call processor operates by executing scripts that take subscribers through a series of menus, accept caller input, make decisions based upon caller input, and perform actions such as the transfer of a call to another destination to provide appropriate provisioning services. The automated call processor prompts the audio processor to play prompts to subscribers, to gather DTMF digit input, to play various recorded messages, and to direct the subscriber to other destinations if necessary. The applications selected by a subscriber are input into a subscriber profile. The subscriber profile is stored for use by the platform. The subscriber profile specifies which applications are chosen by a subscriber and the directory numbers associated with each application. The subscriber profile also identifies the telephone unit and Programming Permission Code (PPC), which is discussed in detail below. Referring to A dynamically programmable push button (PPB) allows a subscriber to depress one button, PPB1 40 for example, to access an advanced feature within the telephone network, such as a voice call into a conference bridge. PPB2 41 may be used, for example, to access a voice call to an information service. PPB3 42 may be used, for example, to access an information service defined by a retailer. The PPBs comprise a storage register operable for storing a directory number. Methods for provisioning the PPBs are discussed below. In addition to the dynamically programmable push buttons, in one embodiment, the wireless unit 20 may comprise features common to conventional wireless telephones, such as an LCD display 43, a set of dialpad keys 44, feature keys 45, and arrow keys 46 operable for scrolling through features displayed on the LCD display 43. In a first embodiment, the push buttons of the dynamically programmable device of the present invention may be provisioned remotely for each device. Remote provisioning allows a subscriber out in the remote parts of a carrier's network to dial into customer service and request access to a desired application. Advanced application data is provisioned or input by a subscriber into a database using various techniques. These techniques may include a menu-based dual tone multiple frequency (DTMF) entry system in which a subscriber dials into a provisioning system which guides the subscriber through a menu of provisioning options. The subscriber uses the subscriber's touch-tone phone to respond to the menu. Provisioning software captures the subscriber's responses and formulates these responses into a programmed push button record, which may then be stored in a database. Additionally, the service node (30, In a second embodiment, the push buttons may be provisioned for each subscriber using a short messaging service (SMS) reader in the phone. The SMS reader is a bearer channel operable for opening a text message and assigning a push button based upon the receipt and interpretation of a code. The text message sent to the network carrier may indicate which advanced application in the telephone network the subscriber desires to have access to, and which programmable push button 40, 41, 42 will be assigned to that particular advanced application. In an alternative embodiment, the push buttons may be provisioned by a subscriber using browser capability and either SMS as a bearer circuit, switched data as a bearer, or packet data as a bearer. In a third embodiment, the push buttons of the dynamically programmable telephone of the present invention may be provisioned in the telephone network at the service node (30, In a fourth embodiment, the push buttons of the dynamically programmable telephone of the present invention may be provisioned by the network carrier operator, the subscriber, or an independent third party. Subscriber and independent third party provisioning may take place at a web interface in which a subscriber account profile may be displayed. Using identification information associated with each subscriber, advanced applications may be selected and assigned to specific push buttons through network carrier provisioning. Each individual dynamically programmable push button telephone of the present invention has a unique Programming Permission Code (PPC) associated with the telephone and stored within in a secure manner. The PPC allows the network carrier to prevent a competitor from gaining access to a telephone and using/reprogramming the programmable push buttons of the telephone. Without knowledge of the PPC, a former subscriber of one network carrier that subscribes with a different network carrier cannot use the programmable push buttons. The PPC must be entered into the telephone prior to programming the push buttons. The PPC is entered into a telephone during the manufacturing process and cannot be changed during the lifespan of the telephone. Generally, a telephone's PPC is only known to the manufacturer of the telephone and the carrier who sells the telephone to an end user. Referring to Subscriber and carrier requests and responses may be sent/received via a short messaging service (SMS) 60 via a wireless network switch (also referred to as a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 22. Subscriber and carrier requests and responses may also be sent/received using a data telephone call and the MSC 22, wireless network 14, and PSTN network 12. As stated above, the MSC 22 may include a register, which is illustrated as a HLR (26, Referring to the flowchart of In step 72, the I.T. System 54 accesses the database 56 which stores subscriber identification. In step 74, in order to ensure account security for the benefit of both the subscriber and the carrier, the I.T. System 54 checks the PPC for the subscriber's unit 20 using the identification information. In step 76, if it is determined that the PPC is invalid for the subscriber unit 20, the I.T. System 54 denies the request for programming a push button, and the LT. System may try the PPC a second time to ensure that a mistake was not made. In step 78, if it is determined that the PPC is valid and recognized, the I.T. System 54 accesses the subscriber's account for the purpose of determining which applications a subscriber is allowed access to. For example, a low rate plan may allow a subscriber limited access to certain advanced applications, while a higher rate plan may allow for unlimited access to all applications in the telephone network provided by the carrier. In step 80, once the PPC has been verified and the subscriber account accessed, the network carrier then programs the push button selected by the subscriber with the directory number of the selected application. Referring to The IT system 54 of the carrier populates the IN database 92 with a routing table unique to each subscriber. The routing table associates the network destination codes for the application platforms that are associated with the subscriber's service to each directory number in the storage registers associated with the PPBs of the subscriber's telephone unit 20. The carrier may also provision the subscriber with the originating trigger in the HLR 26 so that originating calls for the customer go to the IN platform 90. When the subscriber initiates a call, the MSC 22 queries the HLR 26. The HLR 26 instructs the MSC 22 to route the call to the IN platform 90. The IN platform 90 comprises an application that reviews the dialed digits and the caller line identification (or other subscriber identifier). The IN platform 90 queries its database 92 and retrieves the table of network destination codes for the subscriber. In one example, if the dialed digits are associated with PPB1 (40, In a second example, if the dialed digits are associated with PPB2 (41, In a third example, if the dialed digits are associated with PPB3 (42, In a fourth example, if the dialed digits are associated with a directory number that is not stored in a PPB storage register, the IN platform 90 may instruct the MSC 22 to route the call to the original dialed digits. The IN platform 90 may then release the call back to the MSC 22. The MSC 22 may then route the call cased upon the original dialed digits. The directory numbers stored in each PPB storage register may be changed manually by entering the PPC into a menu displayed on the subscriber's unit 20. When the subscriber depresses a PPB, the unit 20 calls the directory number stored in the PPB storage register and engages in a telephone call with the application. Alternate provisioning techniques available to subscribers with Internet access include the use of a web-based form, a formatted file, and a formatted email message. When using a web-based form, a subscriber having a browser running on a computer with an Internet connection accesses a provisioning form by supplying a uniform Resource Locator (URL) for such a form. The subscriber may enter provisioning information (such as advanced application directory number or server address) into the form and send the form entries as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) string, in one embodiment, to a provisioning software interface. Other subscriber-provisioning mechanisms may include sending a formatted email or a formatted file from a subscriber computer to the service node 30. An exemplary formatted email message may have a subject line of �PUSH BUTTON PROGRAMMING, and contain labeled lines within the body of the email. Such labeled lines may take the form of: �PPB 1=3 155556768,′, �PPB2=7 1655587 12�, and �5185552437�. When a service node 30 receives an email with a PUSH BUTTON PROGRAMMING subject line and containing the above three labeled lines, either a carrier operator or a provisioning module running on the service node 30 will extract the directory numbers and assigned push buttons. These extracted values may then be used to populate a push button programming information record, which is then stored in a data store and/or a database. Provisioning techniques employing web-based forms, formatted files, and formatted email messages may be implemented on an application server. A programmable push button subscriber using the Internet may forward provisioning information to the application server through a firewall, in an embodiment. The present invention may be better understood by way of an example in which a voicemail system is accessed by a subscriber. Assume that a subscriber has recently purchased a wireless unit 20 form a carrier that includes a PPC and a number of programmable push buttons. Most conventional wireless telephones include a voicemail key for directly accessing a voicemail service, usually a service provided by the carrier, and typically there is only one number for accessing that application. A network carrier does not have a way of remotely changing the voicemail button on a conventional wireless telephone. Using the device and systems of the present invention, a subscriber desiring to use a third party's voicemail service may have the voicemail address remotely programmed into the register of one of the programmable push buttons using any one of the provisioning techniques discussed above. The present invention has been described by way of example, and modifications and variations of the exemplary embodiments will suggest themselves to skilled artisans in this field without departing from the spirit of the invention. The preferred embodiments are merely illustrative and should not be considered restrictive in any way. The scope of the invention is to be measured by the appended claims, rather than by the preceding description, and all variations and equivalents which fall within the range of the claims are intended to be embraced therein.

Hawkeyes Find Balance ScoringBy Scott Dochterman and Josh Christensen
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Iowa's Anthony Clemmons and Adam Woodbury faced inconsistent stretches during their freshman seasons but both stepped up in crucial moments Wednesday in Iowa's 75-64 NIT quarterfinal victory against Virginia.
Woodbury, a 7-foot-1 center, scored 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Clemmons, a backup point guard, scored seven points and sank all four free throws late in the game to elevate Iowa (24-12) to an NIT semifinal against Maryland next Tuesday in New York City. Clemmons was erratic in the first half with a pair of turnovers and steals. He drilled a clutch 3-pointer to put Iowa up six late in the half, but then allowed a 3-pointer to Virginia's Joe Harris with 2 seconds left that sent Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery into a locker-room tirade. "I jumped him at halftime," McCaffery said. "We had a foul to give, and I wanted him to foul and he didn't foul and Harris hits the 3. I jumped him pretty good at halftime. I probably shouldn't have done it. "He needs to learn, he needs to hear it. He needs to hear it in a direct way. But I just pulled him aside and I said, 'Look, it's over. You're going to get us home. You're going to be in there and you're going to make plays.' He made plays." Clemmons admitted the mistake. "I didn't foul him hard enough so those mental errors can't happen in this time of year," Clemmons said. "Next time when that stuff happens, I'll make sure I foul harder." Clemmons shrugged off the chewing with a sold second half. On back-to-back possessions inside the final 3:09, Clemmons knocked down all four free-throw attempts, both of which started with one-and-ones. He played extended minutes because regular point guard Mike Gesell re-aggravated a stress reaction in his right foot and couldn't play in the second half. "I wanted to take control of the game," Clemmons said. "I knew the ball was going to be in my hands. Coach McCaffery told me Mike was going to be out so I had to step up and play a bigger role." Woodbury played a season-high 26 minutes against the Cavaliers and was crucial for Iowa's larger post presence. Three of his rebounds were offensive and he added two assists. It was only the second time since early December he had scored in double digits. "Things kind of came together tonight for me," Woodbury said. "I felt like I took another step in the right direction and my teammates were looking for me and I just executed. It was a lot of fun playing in that environment." Virginia often double-teamed Woodbury when he got the ball low, which to a pair of turnovers. But he scored three baskets and earned an assist on an Aaron White a dunk during a key second-half sequence where Iowa extended its lead from one point to 12. "He was phenomenal," McCaffery said. "He handled the double-team real well, except he had one turnover I think on a double team. I'm really thrilled with him."

Lifegard Aquatics Raintight Box for Ultraviolet Sterilizers
Proper aquarium maintenance entails dedication by many aquarists and marine hobbyists. From changing out and conditioning the water in your aquarium as well as regularly replacing your filters to gently cleaning your aquarium walls, substrate and other tank décor, maintaining a clean and healthy environment for your aquatic life necessitates various procedures and tools. UV sterilizers help in tank maintenance by killing microscopic organisms, such as various types of parasites, algae and bacteria. In killing aquarium algae and preventing it from blooming, Ultraviolet sterilizers inhibit the formation of green and murky water conditions, helping to keep your water clean and clear. As some aquariums necessitate a great amount of lighting, they are more susceptible to the spread of various types of microorganisms. UV sterilizers can be quite beneficial in eradicating any free-floating microorganisms as well as helping in the prevention of fish disease. Ultraviolet sterilizers have even been known to help prevent the spread of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, commonly referred to as "Ich", by killing the disease-causing parasitic protozoan during its juvenile stage. Along with an adequate filtration system and routine water changes, a UV sterilizer can help you maintain healthy water conditions for your fish, coral and other magnificent aquatic life, allowing them to thrive.
Beneficial to both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, UV sterilizers are frequently utilized in outdoor ponds to boost water clarity and cleanliness, as well as help to support the overall health of your pond fish. To ensure that the ultraviolet bulb, ballast and electrical connection are kept dry, there is the Lifegard Aquatics Raintight Box for Ultraviolet Sterilizers that is both durable and easy to use. In addition, there is a large assortment of replacement bulbs available, that range in shape, size and output capacity in order to accommodate the unique requirements of various types of UV sterilizers within your aquariums and ponds.
Specifically designed for use with the Oceanic BioCube Aquarium are Oceanic BioCube Mini Ultraviolet Sterilizers, which conveniently attach directly to the BioCube pump making for easy set-up and use. To achieve optimal results using your UV sterilizer, it's important to control the rate at which your aquarium water flows through the sterilizer in accordance with your sterilizer's recommendations. Equip your aquarium or pond today with a UV sterilizer and help to improve water clarity as well as decrease the chances of disease among your fish and aquatic life.

Bio and Links
First, my deepest thanks to those who have kept my spirits up by being supportive friends and who have honored my dear ones so faithfully.
I still find myself trying to focus on the theme of
, and trying to shake the gloom of the losses of 2012.
2014's start has been rocky with the loss of three of my guiding lights; our Romberger Family Association founder, the gent who found our original immigrant ancestor and his family home in Germany, a friend and genealogical mentor has passed. Thank you if you can honor
Dr. John A. Romberger
. The day we laid Dr. John to rest, another Doctor left us - my dear godfather,
Dr. Edwin R. Baldrige
. Not long after that, my sweet silversmithing teacher,
Jane Martindell
passed as well. It sort of feels like my mentors are all taking flight.
I'm finding using the site difficult right now. Some people have found it very therapeutic after a loss. Unfortunately, it has the opposite effect on me; I see all the losses of my fellow contributors, and it makes me feel terrible. I see
now-gone loved ones, and in a small way I re-live the loss of
loved ones. I think my feelings are still too close to the surface to be so easily stirred.
If you have a moment, would you kindly visit
Randall Buckley
? This is our friend Paula's brother.
If you are wondering whom else to visit, perhaps you'd kindly look in on
my dearest
If you have a moment, would you please send prayers to fellow contributor
Ann H
And if you have another moment, please consider leaving a token for our fellow contributor,
White Light
Picture use:
You are welcome to use pictures for personal use, but I do NOT consent for their use online or on commercial or paid sites. FindAGrave is about sharing what you know, and I will not have my good will co-opted and monetized. I saw some of my pics stolen from here and put on ancestry.com and I am taking action to correct this.
Transfers and suggestions:
Forgive me, but experience has been a harsh teacher. I used to be very cool about transferring, but I've had about enough of being easy about this. I'll gladly transfer the memorials of anyone not related or without meaning to me in a heartbeat, and I have hundreds to give away. But on family, I'm adopted, working on both birth and adopted families. I have a lot of family to cover, possibly double the size of yours, and I have not articulated my relationship to the subject of every memorial for privacy reasons. Rather than quibble, I would be gladder still to improve a memorial with your suggestions sent via SAC. Let's do the right thing and make the memorial accurate, suitable and a reflection of that person's life. You can put the improved memorial in a "virtual cemetery" without needing ownership of it, as I have done with relatives that other contributors have added to the site. I can add links or the info you wish, and you are welcome to add pictures.
On the other hand, if the memorial is one I have added by chance or the subject is no one related to me or is one to whom I have no attachment, I will offer to transfer instantly.
FindAGrave memorials are online representations of real graves, not trading cards. I don't collect them for numbers and am frankly relieved to see them go to family if they have no connection and meaning to me. There are relatives of mine another contributor has memorialized on the site that I do not "own" and have not asked for, content that I have added the info I have, and linked them to their kin.
"Many African societies divide humans into three categories; those still alive on earth, the sasha, and the zamani. The recently departed whose time on earth overlapped with people still here are the sasha, the living-dead. They are not wholly dead, for they still live in the memories of the living, who can call them to mind, create their likeness in art, and bring them to life in anecdote. When the last person to know an ancestor dies, that ancestor leaves the sasha for the zamani, the dead. As generalized ancestors, the zamani are not forgotten but revered. Many can be recalled by name. But they are not living-dead. There is a difference." -- from "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James Loewen
So perhaps the progression of the living to the sasha to the zamani cannot be helped, but we record here those we knew, both sasha and zamani, and leave some record of them. And if they are sashas to us, perhaps our record keeps them sashas longer as we offer our first hand accounts of them.
It bothers me that time passes, because I sense my friends and family members moving out of sight as they pass through the celestial plan, or whatever you like to call it. I am just conscious that our grip on those we know and love is constantly eroding. I think this is why I have been drawn to FindAGrave; I can't stop people from dying, but I can stop them from being forgotten, and can see the lives of people other contributors feel the same about, those they don't want to shift out of focus as time clouds memories and people who knew others pass on. Here, at least, we can freeze them in time and recount all that made them good or special.
Your visits to my loved ones mean a lot to me. They mean my folks here are not forgotten, and honor people I really loved or respected or took the time to research, so thank you. I enjoy honoring people remembered on Find a Grave, and do take the time to read bio info on memorials. I appreciate knowing about the people other folks want remembered.
Every memorial entered here has been done with respect and good intent, in the hopes dear ones will not be forgotten. Any concerns, additions and so on are most welcome here on this page.

You asked if I was related to Robin Reinbold. If the Robin Reinbold you asked about is the daughter of Arlen Reinbold, then the answer is yes. Arlen was my uncle.

Clara was my aunt. Her husband was my mother's brother. Clara was born in 1920, so if her dad left in 1921 she may not have known her father at all. I asked my mom, but she doesn't remember anything about Clara's father, however she said she'll ask other family members, and see if they know anything. I'll let you know if I learn anything new.

RE: Thank you...
My husband and I are well-aware of the Tocks Island dam project. Many of his direct descendants date back to the first European settlers of the Minisink. Most migrating from Esopus, NY (Kingston) - a Dutch outpost. Some of his family names include Van Auken, Depue, Van Campen, Hornbeck , Rosenkrans, and also the infamous Tom Quick. My husband has lived in Layton, NJ his entire life. (Layton is about a mile from the park boundary.) We have personally witnessed some of my husband's ancestors homes as well other historic homes being vandalized and subsequently bulldozed down. He also has many non-Dutch direct descendants from the area: Stewart, Bensley, Struble, Hill, Gould, Clifford, Cron, and Huff to name a few.
If you would be so kind as to also transfer Elizabeth Bensley to me so that I can update that information.
Thank you so much.

Yes please send me any information that you have on Sally Ann (Clifford) Bensley. She is my husband's ggg grandmother.
I have had experience in the past where I have asked the original contributor to make changes and I would never receive a return message. My apologies for not contacting you.
You may want to check out Elizabeth Bensley who is also buried in Swartwood cemetery as I added a virtual flower entry. Sharon

Thanks for the info. This is the message I sent:
A contributor has pointed out to me that this is a duplicate of my entry of Barbara Lovell Baldrige 44110992 which she discovered while entering the burial of Barbara's brother. Barbara had remarried and yours is listed with her married name. Since you have the tombstone photo and link to her husband, I think it best to delete my entry after you enter the information on my site:
Middle name Lovell
DOB June 14, 1925
DOD Sept 15, 1979
Father Edwin Rockefeller Baldrige 42742968
Mother Marion Sarah Trexler Baldrige 42742981
Please let me know if you are unable to do this and I will contact findagrave to have the sites merged. Thanks.

RIDGWAY – ArtSpeak's holiday exhibit opens at the Ridgway Public Library on Saturday, Nov. 13 from 4-7 p.m. Expect to see works in oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic and mixed media, accompanied by refreshments and wine.
ArtSpeak, growing out of a class taught by Ridgway artist Meredith Nemirov, meets the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Ridgway Library.
"Art at the Library serves as a venue for emerging and established artists to display their work to the community, and an opportunity for the community to recognize and enjoy regional talent and creativity," says Ridgway Librarian Kristen Moberg.
The exhibit runs through Jan.7. For more information, call 626-5252.
Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership Meets Nov. 18
RIDGWAY – The Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership holds its next Stakeholders Meeting in Ridgway next week, to discuss water quality goals, fun winter events, and the successes of the Rapid River Assessment. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 18, 3:30-5:30 p.m. at the Ridgway Community Center.
The UWP, leading the formation of the Uncompahgre Watershed Plan, considers community of vital importance, since the final document will drive how the river, land and people work together.
On the advice of Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety's Camille Price, the Nov. 18 meeting will focus on "making clear goals," with Colorado Water Quality Control Commission's Peter Butler discussing how the Animas River Stakeholders Group outlined its water quality goals.
Organizers plan to form a committee dedicated to reviewing a draft water quality report and mining inventory in the watershed at this meeting, and anyone interested in being involved is encouraged to attend.
Highlights and lessons learned from the recent Uncompahgre Rapid River Assessment will be discussed, and the group will discuss community-activity options, including a Nordic ski tour and a potluck.
For more information, contact Rachel Boothby at firstname.lastname@example.com.

County Extension Offers Ranching-for-Profit Workshop
NATURITA – The Colorado State University Extension Office in San Miguel and West Montrose Counties will host a Ranching-for-Profit Workshop Dec. 9, 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. at the Naturita Library, one of four remote locations linking to the workshop presentation taking place in Grand Junction.
Participants will learn why most ranches show a loss; how to overcome the challenge of no working capital and what it takes to build a sustainable ranch business and earn a healthy profit, instead.
Instructor Dave Pratt is a fifth-generation rancher who has worked for northern California cattle and sheep producers, earning a bachelor's degree from the University of California and a master's degree from Washington State University.
For more information and to register, call the Norwood Extension office at 327-4393 or email firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com. Visit their website www.coopext.colostate.edu/sanmiguel/.
Second Rescues 18 Abandoned Cats
RIDGWAY – Eighteen abandoned cats and kittens were discovered by maintenance personnel last week in a recently vacated home in Ouray County. With no care providers and with winter right around the corner, Second Chance Humane Society was contacted. Despite being filled to capacity, the organization has taken five adult cats and 13 kittens to its Ridgway animal shelter, to be vaccinated, spay/neutered and readied for adoption.
To defray expenses, Second Chance seeks donations – and at the same time, offering 50 percent off all pet adoptions from now through the end of the year. "We are definitely concerned about space issues right now," said Shelter Manager Heather Hart.
The shelter seeks both contributions and supplies, including canned cat food, litter, paper towels, bleach, bowls and litter pans. Hart can be reached at 970/626-2273.
