Parent involvement
I have two children who began attending in preschool and are now in Elementary School at Zion. This is a quality school with awesome teachers. Parental involvement is encouraged and our teachers have a fantastic, positive approach to everything. There are 20 children in the day school and it's like a second family! If you are looking for quality education, christian education, compassion, and values, this is the school for your children. The base values your child will gain from attending this school will be with them for their entire lives. And the multi-age classrooms are great for the children because they can work at the appropriate level, regardless of their age. They are able to learn according to their abiltiy level rather than by age. Memory work is done daily which also increases your child's mental strength. We can't imagine our life without Zion School!

IntroductionMicrosoft Windows 8 does not currently support the POP3 protocol in its native mail client. We highly recommend that Windows 8 users either use webmail or another client that does support the industry standard POP3 protocol (e.g. Microsoft Live Essentials Mail, Thunderbird, Opera Mail, etc).This page is for those subscribers that use Windows 8 but cannot use one of the methods above. If you would like to sign up for Xfinity Connect Beta which supports IMAP access and can be used with Windows 8 native mail client, please read and accept the terms and conditions and sign in below.Upon successful sign in, your Comcast username will be registered for migration to the beta servers. Your Comcast username will be migrated within 72 hours and will be able to use IMAP.»xcbetasignup.comcast.net/imap_trial/web/
1 recommendation
Worth noting that this is not restricted to Win8 users -- anyone can signup for the IMAP beta.--JLComcast
never got why we didn't have IMAP to start with considering the web mail app that is in place on comcast.net to start with supports folders
Because a lot of Comcast's customer base (like me) used a mail client that supported POP3. Outlook Express (the default mail client pre-Windows 8) and Outlook itself have ALWAYS supported POP3 - Outlook *itself* didn't get IMAP4 support until the 2010 for PC/2011 for OS X iterations. (And the only reason I noticed at all is because GMail, which supports both POP3 and IMAP4, defaults to IMAP4 as of Outlook 2010.) Outlook 2013 *still* defaults to POP3 for my CHSI mail - as is the case with GMail, it matters not a whit to me personally. The biggest push for IMAP4 is for smartphone connectivity - not PCs or Macs, or even Windows 8.
Outlook has supported IMAP, albeit poorly, since Outlook 98.
As you phrased it - poorly. IMAP4 support didn't mature until Outlook 2010 - where it was as hands-free as their POP3 support (which has ALWAYS been hands-free.
It still could use a bit more work, imho. Comparing POP3 and IMAP though is really like comparing a carburetor and a fuel injection system - while both perform a similar basic function, how they go about it is completely different. Comcast might deserve a bit of chiding for no IMAP support to date, but Microsoft with their recently released Outlook.com that does not support IMAP is probably a far more deserving target.
Again, the issue is smartphones/devices - not PCs or even Macs. The Outlook.com issue is even sillier because by default it uses the SAME mail protocol as Hotmail (which it is seeking to replace) - Exchange ActiveSync (which the Windows 8 Mail app supports , as does Outlook 2013). I have all three mail services (CHSI, Outlook.com, and GMail) on my Windows 8 desktop and use a SINGLE mail client with them all: Outlook 2013. However, no two mail services use the same protocol: POP3 with CHSI, EAS with Outlook.com, and IMAP4 with GMail. Outlook has no issues, either.
I have been using IMAP on outlook for well over a decade. Not sure where you guys are getting your info...
does anyone know what the storage limit is for the IMAP beta?

6 initial illustrations of unitard + cover up designs for Cirque-
Dominique chose the 1st one (one of my designs) for my partner and I to make, but as you can see, things change a lot from initial design to reality- I wish I had the final illustration from the end of the project to compare/contrast but things were hectic and I didn't get a chance to scan it in.
I'm happy to announce my costume along with others from the junior and senior classes from Otis will be in the windows of Nieman Marcus in Beverly Hills from the 14th to the 29th of this month!

Spring Break, Convict Lake, California
If you love an image (whether it's yours or someone else's) and want to make sure others get a chance to see it, you can "feature" it by choosing the "Spotlight" button.
When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.
If you see a great photo that would make a perfect entry for one of our Shoot Out photo contests but it was uploaded by another user, now you can enter that photo in the contest and, if it wins, you get to share in the contest winnings.
Like a photo editor, if you've got an eye for great work, find it and submit it to a contest. If it wins, since you staked the entry fee, you'll take home part of the prize (the rest, of course, goes to the member who shot the image).
Collections are a JPG+ feature. You must be a JPG+ member to create new collections and to add photos to collections.

Convict Lake experiences high winds that can push ice slabs up on edge or flat out. Managed to get down to the edge without falling in with my tripod supported on a bolder somewhere below. The wind was blowing hard enough to close the crack in the middle and put spots on the lens. Had a short break in wind and clouds to capture this shot.

OS Giken TC24-B1
Original design — conversion from belt to gear-only camshaft drive system. Engine response and timing accuracy are increased and the sound of the engine becomes subtly more exotic. This changes the feel of the engine completely. This level of development to the old L-series has always impressed me as there are no power gains, only an improvement in the driver/car connection.
It's been put to use and tested. At least the TC24-B1Z is. It truly is something to marvel over. Here's a video test from OS Giken.

Reviewed on August 06, 2014
As you keep using your computer, there is no doubt that you will pile up files with passing time. In addition, modern hard drives are increasingly getting larger, and locating items they contain can prove tricky. It is therefore important to have a file search facility that makes it convenient and faster to search for required items. One such program is Everything, a lightweight application that anyone with basic computer skills can use.
Everything Features:
Using Everything
Everything installed fast and was ready to use immediately. It displayed a simple and clean user interface that made it easy to use, and it helped us to instantly locate files we needed. It searched entire drives for the files we were looking for depending on the keywords we typed.
We could choose the way we wanted the application to search for and display results. For example, we could search for whole words or specific paths besides matching case. We could even filter the search results further by focusing on recently changed files instead of displaying everything. We could search for files saved or changed in the past month, week, day or hour.
Another way of filtering results is by choosing particular file types, such as videos, images, audio, documents, archives or executable files. You can also search specific folders. If there are items you would not like to include in the search results, you can easily specify them. These may include system directories as well as hidden folders and files.
We made some configurations to adjust the way the file search application worked. We created quick launch and desktop shortcuts for faster access to the application. You can also choose to start the application automatically whenever you boot your computer. In addition, you may define the duration that you would like the search results to take.
If you have ever struggled to locate a file on your computer, then you will appreciate the help of Everything. The file search app will help you to instantly locate files you want, and its intuitive user interface makes it easy to handle.
Software Product Description
Desktop search program that instantly finds files and folders on your computer.

Effectively immediately, I'm now using Square Market for online sales. No more PayPal! I absolutely will not miss PayPal, not even a little.
The Online Store link on zugsterbags.com now redirects to https://squareup.com/market/zugster-bags
I'm incredibly happy that there's finally a good alternative to PayPal for managing a simple online store.
The only downside at the moment is that each item gets only a single photo; hopefully they'll change that in the future, and I'll continue to have additional photos available on the site and flickr.

En español | When Francisca Terrazas was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2007, her family never considered placing her in a nursing home.
"I sometimes wish there were a different way to care for her," wrote daughter Beatriz in an essay penned for the October 2010 Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Takes on Alzheimer's, "one that doesn't cost me work time and wages to be with her, one that doesn't involve laying my own wants aside for her needs. Then the Mexican in me says, 'Remember where you come from. She's your mother, an elder. Familia is about stepping up to the plate. Now just go do it!' " This tight-knit family viewed taking care of their mother as a cultural imperative.
They're not alone. Hispanic families across the country are grappling with the issue of Alzheimer's and what to do as caregivers for loved ones with the debilitating disease.

2000 Chevrolet 2500 Pickup Problems
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
The inside and outside door handles are prone to breaking.
The windshield wipers may not work intermittently due to a faulty wiper motor control board. Our technicians tell us that lightly taping on the wiper motor when the fault occurs should temporarily get the wipers working again. Some vehicles were recalled for this problem and some were not. You will need to check with your local dealer to find out if a specific vehicle was included.

Granted ØDumbø has the cognitive skills of a tree frog but even the slowest learner must realize the debate is over, Global Luke Warming is toast along with Cold Fusion. The reason it´s being brought up is to deflect the attention of the lo flos from the colossal failure of the life support system for a teleprompter´s foreign and domestic policies. The way to draw attention away from today´s disasters is to invent new ones for tomorrow. If this doesn´t work then it´s on to things such as diversity pointing out the lack of Eskimos in American universities, the supreme court, Wall Street, movies, etc. Never forget than no Eskimo has ever won a Nobel Prize or Academy Award or kicked a field goal in an NFL game or even been elected as a senator in Alaska. Yes we can fool most of the people most of the time. And democrats all of the time.

Observations and other notes from the final day of minicamp:
TWO MINUTE HICCUPS: The first-team offense struggled in the two-minute drill, particularly Andy Dalton and Jermaine Gresham. After a completion to Brandon Tate on the first play, Dalton was picked off by Robert Sands on a pass down the middle intended for Gresham. Two plays later, Gresham got a couple steps on Shaun Prater and George Iloka but dropped it near the left sideline.
GOOD DAY FOR KICKERS: Mike Nugent and Thomas Weber didn't have any misses on field goals. Both hit from 50 yards out and Nugent had the longest one of the day from 53.
OF NOTE: Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, who missed Wednesday's practice due to illness, was back but Adam Jones did not participate due to tweaking a hamstring.
OTHER PLAYS OF NOTE: Defensive end Carlos Dunlap had two nice hurries of the quarterback which could have ended up as sacks if the pads were on. … Prater and Brandon Ghee had flashes of nice coverage. … Near the end of the first 11-on-11 session, rookie tight end Orson Charles got behind Robert Sands and hauled in a long pass. … Undrafted linebacker Emmanuel Lamur continues to make a strong impression as he had an interception off a Bruce Gradkowski pass in the red zone. … Armon Binns had some nice footwork as he hauled in a Dalton pass the back of the end zone during red zone work. That came under the watchful eye of UC coach Butch Jones, whose staff was at practice.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: " "I've seen enough of everybody except Danny Herron, who really hasn't had a chance to do much since the rookie camp. Every other of the nine draft picks, I've been pleased. I'm excited to have them. I think they all have opportunities to challenge here and make us a better team. There's been obviously a lot of talk about Binns and (Brandon) Tate, you know, (Ryan) Whalen, what they're doing. But I think the defensive side, what Brandon Ghee has done, Taylor Mays, Robert Sands, Jeromy Miles, that group, they're coming in where we left open holes for guys to emerge and earn an opportunity to play, I've been pleased with what they're doing." – Lewis when asked who he has been impressed with the most during the practices.

Capable cast can't fix 'Broken City'
A movie review of "Broken City," Allen Hughes' first film as a solo director. It stars Russell Crowe as the sinister mayor of New York and Mark Wahlberg as the private eye he hires to spy on his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones).
Special to The Seattle Times
Movie Review
"Broken City," with Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jeffrey Wright, Natalie Martinez. Directed by Allen Hughes, from a screenplay by Brian Tucker. 109 minutes. Rated R for pervasive language, some sexual content and violence. Several theaters.
Round up the usual suspects. It's time once again to pretend that we're shocked — you hear, shocked — to discover that politicians can be corrupt and cynical.
Russell Crowe, a long way here from the California intrigues of "L.A. Confidential," plays the mayor of New York, who's far too obviously a crook. There are no other dimensions to the role and almost nothing interesting for Crowe to play once his character hires a private eye (Mark Wahlberg) to spy on his apparently adulterous wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones).
But did "Broken City" have to be quite so dull and humorless and artificial? Zeta-Jones delivers a couple of funny lines, and Jeffrey Wright (as a duplicitous police commissioner) makes a sinister moment or two ring true, but Brian Tucker's script otherwise wastes a capable cast.
This is one of those rare (fortunately) movies that transform into shameless catalogs of genre clichés, so ripe for self-parody that you feel justified in talking back to the screen. An entire ridiculous subplot, built around the Wahlberg character's girlfriend (Natalie Martinez) and her soft-porn career as an indie film star, deserves more than a talk back.
There were reasons to hope for more. "Broken City" is the first solo work of Allen Hughes, who with his twin brother, Albert, made some of the more exciting indie films of the past couple of decades.
They were in their early 20s when they co-directed the teen Watts epic "Menace II Society," and they followed it up with the impressive Bronx period piece "Dead Presidents" and Johnny Depp's stylish Jack the Ripper movie, "From Hell." (Their luck ran out with their pretentious last collaboration, "The Book of Eli.")
In a recent New York Times interview, Hughes talked about his partnership with Albert on "Menace II Society" two decades ago: "It was kids making a movie about kids."
Apparently Hughes meant that as a disparaging comment aimed at the brothers' lack of filmmaking experience, but it also suggests a playfulness (and a sense of perspective) that is missing from "Broken City."

text: Posted Online: April 23, 2013, 7:38 pm Tigers' Crawley running her way back into top form Comment on this story By Terry Duckett, firstname.lastname@example.com More photos from this shoot Photo: John Greenwood Sherrard girls' track standout Danielle Crawley is this week's area Pacesetter for The Dispatch and The Rock Island Argus. After enduring an injury-plagued sophomore season, Crawley is working her way back to top form. Last Saturday at the Rockridge Invitational, she won four events (long jump, 100, 400 and 200), setting meet records in the 100 and 200 sprints. Buoyed by a successful debut season with the Sherrard girls' track and field team two seasons back, Danielle Crawley was looking to continue that trend in her sophomore season. However, a pulled quadricep muscle that plagued Crawley throughout most of last spring not only sidetracked her physically, but mentally as well as a lengthy layoff from running took its toll. "It was very frustrating,'' said Crawley, "especially considering the fact that I wanted to win a state title. I love running, and taking that time out really hurt. I was focused on fixing things and working to get better, but then I figured it would get worse and I wouldn't be able to run the rest of the year.'' Not only did she come back to the track, but she ended the 2012 campaign with a flourish by taking second at the IHSA Class 1A State Meet in Charleston in the 100 and 200 meter sprints, to go with a bronze medal with the Tigers' 4x200 relay. And last weekend, this week's Area Pacesetter for The Dispatch and The Rock Island Argus served notice to her biggest area rivals that if Danielle Crawley isn't 100 percent back to her top form, she's only mere footsteps away. Not only did Crawley sweep the 100, 200 and 400 meter races at last Saturday's Rockridge Invitational in addition to capturing the long jump gold medal, but she established meet records in the 100 (12.29 seconds) and 200 (26.02). In the 100, she broke a record shared by former Sherrard standouts Ellen Kindelsperger and Lacey Hainline; her 200 meter time broke ex-Tiger Sarah Boraas' previous standard. "That felt really good, considering we hadn't had that many meets (prior to Rockridge),'' she said. "It shows I'm doing better and getting back to where I was. I still feel like I've got a ways to go, that I'm working my way back.'' Last weekend also has Crawley inspired for two another big meet this week, Sherrard's own Tiger Relays on Friday night. "I'm hoping to get a record,'' she said. "I'm just excited to run. I'm ready to race.'' After picking up three medals in her state debut in May 2011, Crawley was ready to race when her sophomore season commenced. After her injury at the indoor season-ending Illinois Top Times meet, Sherrard coach Todd Volkert had to convince her to be patient and not rush her return to running. "I'm sure she was really questioning what was going to happen at the end of the season,'' said Volkert. "We all were, but we stuck with our plan and kept reminding Danielle that we're on course with what we have going. We just eased her back in for the end of the season, and she's learned how to deal with adversity and injuries, being patient and not rushing back until it's time. "Now, she's running as well as she ever has at this point in the year. She flat-out has raw speed, and is in great condition right now. The last three weeks of the season will be a matter of fine-tuning things, what we can correct with her technique.'' And after battling through a foot ailment that kept her out of this year's Top Times meet, Crawley has stayed healthy as she continues to build upon last season's silver-medal state finishes. "This year, I want to get first place,'' Crawley said. "That's what I'm working for, and taking second last year gave me motivation. It's time for me to take the next step.''

The second session of the 113th Congress is ticking away and the opportunities to produce meaningful legislation are sliding by.

Reps Frank Wolf (R-Va.) and Jim Moran (D-Va.) are planning to retire when their current terms are up. Katie Maddocks, a government affairs representative for the Federal Managers Association, talks to In Depth with Francis Rose about what congressional changes would mean for the federal workforce in the coming months.

Senate Republicans call for VA secretary to resign

Military chiefs, lawmakers debate budget cuts
Congress is debating the proposed $496 billion defense budget this week, and military pay is one of many sensitive issues within that bill.
Martin Matishak, Staff Writer, The Hill Newspaper
The House Armed Services Committee releases a blueprint of the National Defense Authorization Act. The $601 billion measure hardly resembles the Pentagon's wish list. It rejects most of the department's ideas for saving money. Staff writer Martin Matishak has been following this closely for the Hill Newspaper. He provided insight for Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp.
Pentagon spending plan unveiled
Howard "Buck" McKeon (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has released a $601 billion spending plan that saves the Cold War era U-2 spy plane from the chopping block and also would force the Pentagon to keep the A-10 Warthog in storage. It's all a part of a plan resulting in smaller military budgets after 13 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ironically, though, the plan also denies the Pentagon's request for another round of military base closures to get rid of unnecessary facilities and save $1.4 billion.
David Hawkings, Senior Editor, Roll Call
Congress is one week into its longest work session of the year. Members will be on the Hill for the next eight weeks. David Hawkings, senior editor of Roll Call, tells In Depth with Francis Rose the partisan divide may melt away in five key areas.
American Legion calls for VA Secretary, two others to resign

Roger Zakheim, Counsel, Covington and Burling
The House Armed Services Committee will soon mark up the National Defense Authorization Act. But all the subcommittee markups may be for nothing. The Obama Administration says it can't submit an Overseas Contingency Operation budget until it knows the results of the election in Afghanistan and some leaders in the House say the NDAA doesn't mean much without the OCO budget request. Roger Zakheim is counsel at Covington and Burling and former general counsel and deputy staff director of the House Armed Services Committee and former deputy assistant secretary of Defense. He tells In Depth with Francis Rose the next round of defense spending negotiations might not mean anything.

Congress is trying to be a good citizen this month. By passing the easy bills first, it hopes to get some real work done before arguing about the contentious stuff.

German music!! Yay!
Peterlicht Kopf zwischen Sternen & Dein Tag & Heimkehrerlied
hey there! i know it's kinda hard to find good music in your target language sometimes and since
my taste in music is really awesomeI do know some German bands being German myself, I decided to make a list with some German bands that aren't Rammstein or Tokio Hotel. I also linked one or two of…
I would like to recommend these two:
Peterlicht Kopf zwischen Sternen & Dein Tag & Heimkehrerlied
Shaban & Käptn Peng Sie mögen sich & Der Anfang ist nah
357 notes #everlark#joshifer#catching fire#jennifer lawrence#josh hutcherson#peeta's hand is killing me...#they are both tortured in that moment in the same way#katniss is tortured with the voices of prim and gale#and peeta is tortured because he sees katniss suffer#and they both can't do anything to help#but while the agony that katniss hears is fake... it is real in peeta's case
57 notes #peeta mellark#hunger games#josh hutcherson#haymitch#i love how he goes from scared little boy to darling of the capitol in only a few seconds#in the first one he is all doe-eyed and overwhelmed#in the second one he is like oh there are people smiling and waving at me hey i can work with that#and in the third one he has already gotten the hang of it and charms the crap of them#in the last one finally his waving already looks professional while he casually checks out his surrounding#(most likely already working on a plan how to get himself and katniss out of this mess)#breadboy you truly have my heart

ATLANTA - Georgia State, which had no scholarship seniors on its inaugural 2010 team, has added eight signees.
Jamarco Warren, a Gainesville High graduate and current member of the Charleston Southern University men's basketball team, moved into ninth place in Big South Conference history for most career points on Jan. 22.
Get ready for a hair-raisin' Super Bowl in Big D.
The Georgia State University football team will face its second Football Bowl Subdivision opponent next fall as the Panthers play at Houston, Director of Athletics Cheryl L. Levick and head football coach Bill Curry announced Wednesday.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - NASCAR is considering scrapping the points system it has used since 1975 in favor of a simpler method that awards points per finishing position, The Associated Press has learned.
After a week of high school basketball teams went stir crazy without getting to play, this week resumes a normal schedule across the area. For Gainesville, this will be a particularly challenging week. On Monday, the Red Elephants' boys face Class AAA's No. 4-ranked Carrollton (8-1) in Gainesville. Then on Friday, the Red Elephants face Class AAA's No. 3-ranked Monroe Area in Monroe.
Three weeks into bowl season, and there's still plenty of football left to play.
With continued controversy centering around sports in college, it's nice to see one collegiate athlete who is trying to blend her love of sports with her education.
While Kiante Young and Korentheus Bailey share a similar background, they are having a vastly different college experience.
When people look back at the past year in sports, the headlines are going to have just as much to do with those in charge as the games that were played.
After one semester at the University of Alabama, Blake Sims has grown as a football player, but more importantly, he's grown as a man.

Ogden, Utah was a little slice of Heaven for Ralston Cash this fall.
It's safe to say Ty McCormack ended his cross country career at North Hall High on a bitter note. The same can't be said about how he started his career at Clemson University.
SAN FRANCISCO - Down three runs and in danger of getting pushed to the World Series brink, Pablo Sandoval and the San Francisco Giants raised up some Panda-monium.
Matt Breida ran for 201 yards and four touchdowns, including a 75-yarder on the opening play of the second half, leading Georgia Southern to a 69-31 win over Georgia State on Saturday.
ATLANTA - The state of Georgia's two GSUs - Georgia State and Georgia Southern - will play for the first time as new Sun Belt Conference rivals on Saturday.

The Lake Lanier Junior Crew's rowing team earned multiple medals at Clemson University's Tail of the Tiger Regatta.
Pass the crow. I'm ready to eat.
TALLADEGA, Ala. - Brad Keselowski refused to be knocked down - not by Matt Kenseth, who jumped him from behind after a disastrous race at Charlotte, and not by garage-wide condemnation over his post-race meltdown.
Randy Sizemore notched a two-day score of 143 and defeated Jim Foote in a playoff to earn the victory at the Chicopee Woods Senior Championship last weekend in Gainesville.
CLEMSON, S.C.- Clemson's got much more than just a stellar offense - and proved that against Louisville on Saturday.

George Shinkan was sitting in a hotel restaurant in Baltimore last Wednesday with seven other gentlemen. They were all anticipating the next night's NFL game between the host Ravens and Browns.
Munster's Shinkan and the other men were NFL replacement officials scheduled to work the Ravens' game.
But after a crazy Monday Night Football game earlier last week where Seattle was rewarded with a game-winning touchdown pass that most in America viewed as an interception, the clock was ticking extremely fast.
"That call killed us," said Shinkan, who was paid for last Thursday's game and flown home. But his time in the big show was over.
Last year, the average NFL salary was $149,000. The holdout worked out financially for the full-timers. NFL officials will be paid $173,000 next season and that number will jump to $205,000 by 2019.
But there will be more accountability in the future. Poor officials could lose their jobs, unlike before.
Shinkan, who worked as a line judge, loved his seven weeks as an NFL official, despite the sometimes cruel scrutiny. The 25-year small-college football official and President of the Munster Booster Club wouldn't trade a thing about his experience.
"Hell yeah," he said when asked if he would do it all over again. "It was a great experience. I enjoyed it. I love officiating football at all levels.
"I wanted to prove something to myself, not anyone else. I wanted to prove that I could officiate at this level and I felt like I was pretty damn good at it."
Valparaiso's Larry Babcock was also an area replacement official, but he declined to be interviewed for this story. Both Shinkan and Babcock received high marks by their game supervisors.
As the labor dispute rolled into this past summer, both locals received notification about the possibility of working NFL games. That's where the busy schedule went nuclear.
An application was filled out. A background check with NFL Securities occurred in Lafayette.
"There was a lot of paperwork," Shinkan chuckled. "A lot."
Shinkan went to the NFL three-day tryout camp in Dallas the first week of July. They went over the differences in rules between the college and pro game. They discussed the new NFL rules for this season.
They did a lot of game film review. They met with league officials to talk about the philosophy of officiating. Then, it was the physical assessment, which was ...
"Brutal," said Shinkan, a 1983 Munster graduate. "We did backward runs. Sideway runs. We did all this stuff and ended it up with a half-mile run. It was tough."
A week later, the owner of Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning got his letter congratulating him to the league.
In mid-July, another day full of meetings happened and Shinkan was assigned to his crew.
"When we ate we all sat at the same table," he said. "We were like an instant family."
Shinkan's crew was assigned to work the Tennessee Titans training camp. They went to practices and talked with coaches and players.
"The speed of the game was what we had to get used to," Shinkan said.
The crew worked four preseason game -- Philadelphia-Pittsburgh, Miami-Carolina, Tampa Bay-New England and Detroit-Buffalo.
The replacements worked with a game supervisor. They had meetings the night before the game, typically 24 hours before the last official got into town. The pregame meeting lasted three hours before kickoff.
"When I walked onto the field the first time, I was in awe of being in a stadium that big," Shinkan remembered. "But after that it was just a football game. I never had that 'Wow' factor.
"I wasn't looking at these guys. I was there to do a job. They were just players to me. We had to focus hard for those 15 seconds (each play). I never looked into the crowd."
The three regular season games that Shinkan worked were Kansas City-Atlanta, Miami-Oakland and Philadelphia-Phoenix. And, of course, he was there for the Baltimore-Cleveland game before the historic pink slip arrived.
Shinkan did not read or listen to negative commentary that many NFL fans and scribes threw out there.
But the blown call in Seattle was part of the dinner chat for sure.
"We knew there was an issue," Shinkan said of the Baltimore dinner. "We talked about the blown call. We wanted to keep working. We wanted to show a national audience we were a good crew."
Shinkan's knees were hurting him because of his NFL time. He went to visit Dr. Lorin M. Brown in town on a couple of occasions. And with both of his daughters competing in softball and Shinkan coaching his youngest girl's team, this was going to be his last year as an official anyway.
"I had the time of my life," he said. "I did a good job, my crew did a good job. It was just a few calls that everybody talked about. I think most of the games were called pretty well."

Best bar to eat dinner @
I am looking for a new place to have dinner at the bar tonight in the cambridge / boston are. Good service and cocktails would be nice. Looking for 70$ ahead or less. Any sugestions?
This is my kind of question! I generally prefer bar service...
Great food, service, and cocktails:
Eastern Standard (if the games are rained out this works, if not, go
another time)
Gargoyle's (okay it's in Somerville, but Davis Sq. might as well be Cambridge)
Franklin Cafe (so good on a day like this)
Blue Room
Good food, great service and great cocktails
B-Side Lounge (would need to get there a little early for a bar seat)
Deep Ellum (had a couple bites there last week and there was an improvement. Service and cocktails are very solid.)
Cuchi Cuchi
Audubon Circle (if the Sox games are rained out)
River God's
re: kittychow
Still looking for some where new
Great food, service, and cocktails:
Eastern Standard - go here way too much
Gargoyle's - might try it
Teatro - never been
Prezza - heard it was pretty good
Franklin Cafe - my girl friend was just there last week
Blue Room - not a big fan
Good food, great service and great cocktails
B-Side Lounge - my local boozer
Deep Ellum - not gonna make it to allston tonight and also not a big fan of the food
Cuchi Cuchi - I don't really think the menu is worth the final bill
Audubon Circle - I have eaten so many pot stickers and pressed sandwiches from here in my life.
River God's - love this place so much I was just there on sunday
re: skidstop
Wow, sounds like we might rub elbows from time to time. ;)
Teatro can get busy so you'd want to go early since the bar is very small. I've never had a bad time and the antipasto for two is wonderful, huge, and a real value.
Really enjoy Chez Henri as well just wish the bar was a bit larger. Tough to settle in if you get there too late.
Prezza - Try it! Seriously, very good bar and terrific food.
Gargoyle's is relatively new to me but I really dig it. Had great apps and entrees. It was a busy bar scene but the bartenders were fabulous and knowledgeable about the food. If I wasn't so lazy about heading to Davis I'd go there way more often.
Almost forgot about Sel De La Terre. I love the bar there. Great food and drinks. For some reason it's especially appealing on gloomy days.
Another restaurant bar I really enjoy is Sorriso. Very good bar tending. I like the pizzas and apps very much here. Super nice host/manager. I think they have the yummiest buffalo mozzarella I've ever had.
re: skidstop
Prezza should be the choice since you haven't been there AND you can get two 3 course meals for $45 if you sit in the bar area. No choices but great stuff. And the bar is fun in general even if you decide to spend more $$.
re: Joanie
Second everything Joanie says, and Prezza has good cocktails too!
re: kittychow
Amen to Prezza and its sister restaurant Copia (especially on nights when Bill is the bartender!) Bar service is as good or better than table service...imho
re: Northender
Hey Northender! Sounds like we rub elbows too ; )
I haven't been to Copia in a few weeks; going next weekend though. Unfortunately, I heard Billy is gone. Any truth to the rumor?
re: kittychow
Just a note about Audubon Circle and Sox games - I think in general if the Sox are out of town it is fine or it is generally easy to get a seat after 7pm on nights with games since the fans tend to clear out by then to get to the game, but I discovered last night that it is actually very crowded when the game is rained out because a bunch of people come for pre-game food and drinks and then do not leave since they now have no where more interesting to go.
chez henri's bar menu rocks. even if you don't like their cuban sandwich. i also like harvest's bar menu a lot.
For $70 or less with great cocktails and good food I'd recommend Green St. and No. 9. No. 9 can be difficult to get a seat at the bar and you might be pushing your budget depending upon how much food you order and how thirsty you are. You'll stumble out of Green St. stuffed and drunk for $70. Green St. is a little more relaxed, almost a family/pub feeling, No. 9 is a tad more formal at the bar and significantly so in the dining room.
Chez Henri is nice too, but again difficult to grab a seat. Eastern Standard is great but if there's a game forget about it, come back in December.
re: sailormouth
I second Green Street
Gargoyles in Davis Sq. is one of my all time favorites! Great seared tuna, and they used to have these amazing fried rice sticks. There's generally a pretty short wait to get a seat. Of course, I live very close to Davis, so traveling there is not a problem.
On the other side of town, I also like James' Gate in JP. But I LOVE Zon's in JP. The bar is small, but the bartenders are great and very nice. Plus the rest of the restaurant is not un-bar-like. (Was that a double or a triple negative?)
In Brookline, I've always been a big fan of Matt Murphy's but some here have had bad experiences with service there. Washington Square Tavern also has very good food and great atmosphere, but I myself have had problems with the service there.
If you're looking in Cambridge (besides Chez Henri, which I love), Christopher's in Porter Sq. will certainly be cheaper than $70 a head, and they have good burgers and other bar food, plus you can head next door afterward (to Toad) for some live music -- if you can fit... Toad is truly tiny. Central Kitchen -- in Central Sq. -- was also a very good spot, though it's been a while so I can't attest to whether it's changed at all.
I always enjoy a bar meal at the ECG (which I migh add, has been taking a beating on the board today). Mussels, grilled bread, a couple wet bones and a few dark and stromy's to wash 'em down (maybe the tuna tartare too). You'll notice no mention of an entree, much below you $70 to boot.

I love eating at the bar at Neptune Oysters. I also enjoy the sushi bar at Douzos.
re: drewames03
The one time we ate at Douzo was at the bar on a very slow Sat afternoon. B got a roll with "soft-shell" crab, promptly bit down hard on a piece of shell (which was neither soft nor edible). Both I and the bartender heard it. Bartender was like, "whoa, what was that?!" and B told him, "I just bit down on something." The bill arrived and we weren't comped for the roll - I hate to quibble, but do others find that disconcerting (we had several other rolls and wine and beer, as well)? We were too surprised/polite/dumb to ask about it.
central kitchen- great food and while getting a table can be an issue, there's usually something at the bar.
rendez-vous- i like eating at the bar... though the menu is the same as the diningroom (same goes for central kitchen), so not so cheap. the apps can make a meal and are really amazing.
chez henri- yummy bar menu..though difficult (but not impossible) to get a seat after 6.
gargoyles- fine. not great. fun enough atmosphere and okay food.
om- going down hill...both in terms of atmosphere and food (gave it another shot after my last unpleasant incident... and while the atmosphere was more chill, the food was way too salty!).
east coast grill- it's lively and delicious!
re: kittychow
I'm a big fan of the bar at Lucca, nice menu with pizzas, sandwiches, and pastas.
I've always enjoyed the bar at Harvest in Cambridge. You can order off both the bar menu and the restaurant menu. The bar at the Langham also is nice, good cocktails, good bar and restaurant menu available. Friday nights seem to be very quiet there, but always a good time.
