"yeah but it's still Gmail" isn't quite a good reason. It's not like we're talking about crappy services like Hotmail or the frequently hacked Yahoo ... or even that they would have an @gmail.com address. None of these apply.....
I also like to migrate biz to Google Apps; it's simply more beneficial to most of my clients. I don't see where it is any less professional or a "proper" email service than Exchange; well I can only think of one reason: number of recipients to an email are limited in Apps to 100/500, see bullet points below. These limits may or may not exist with hosted Exchange I'm not certain and maybe it depends on your host. Certainly some are in place even with hosted Exchange, as it is a spam prevention measure...
And sure, small startups may be using G Apps, but what does that really mean? They are smart, wish to avoid ongoing maintenance and overhead?
With the pro version @ $50 / user / year that's a great deal for a fully featured email host with optional webmail + shared calendar, docs, etc. + all the capabilities of any other service + superior spam prevention far exceeding anything I've seen done with Exchange + 3rd party services or software.
As for big business using it.... I can name one that is quite successful: GOOGLE.
As for quirks, there are a few. If the client uses the webmail instead of an email client, there is sometimes confusion between personal google accounts and Apps accounts when they also use personal Gmail, and especially when they use Chrome and Sync.
Also if the client wishes to use a crappy email client (ahem Outlook) and especially if they want POP instead of IMAP:

I setup a Government Agency to Run Google Apps for Enterprise in their domain... Moved over 6,000 GroupWise inboxes from over 60 Post Office Agents to GMail.
I also exported the Novell GroupWise Address Book to CSV then wrote a script to import that into Active Directory, and I setup Active Directory Sync to sync that info into Gmail and Google Apps
Sorry, I don't have the time right now. Besides, those with your opinion generally keep it. ...for quite some time. I mean that as a broad generalization, not specifically for those in this thread. I'm only posting this as an encoragement to keep doing the research and trying both. I started as pro Google for email.
If I had to some it up one way I'd say, for me, its all about the email client. Outlook used to its full potential with exchange is unrivaled. Then for really "serious" business, throw dynamics CRM on top of Outlook. Specialize in these solutions and you'll find yourself working with clients who don't question your fees and less with mom and pops and startups.
Of course, Outlook has more features, no contest there.
My demographic are "moms, pops, and startups" as I dont do enterprise level work.
From where Im standing the vast majority of end-users I see, who insist on using 'Outlook' use it because they have/had it at work, or because it 'was installed on their computer when they got it' (as the default mail client). It rarely, if ever "because other mail clients lack the essential features that I have to have access to in Outlook".
Most of them pretty much know how to send/receive/add contacts, and thats 'email' for them, in a nutshell.
For these users, - who generally arent backed by an exchange server or proper backup system - (a) Outlook is huge overkill, and (b) Outlook often proves fundamentally unreliable (not just the software, but the whole nature of storing mail on a single hard disk is an essentially iffy proposition).
So thats where Im coming from with the original post. Sorry, I probably should have qualified what I meant by 'business'.
I think once there's an exchange server and proper backup in place, its probably a different equation.
The last time I used outlook professionally in an environment like this was about 10 years ago, and it was unreliable - its probably improved a lot since then.
I have never once had any problem accessing mail on my gmail account. As long as there is internet access, I have email. I cant say the same for a lot of domestic outlook users I have seen over the years.

With you 100%. I think you are serving your customer well. I would just encourage you to start considering hosted exchange when appropriate. You can sell and support that with your skillset.
I'm familiar with Exchange, I support it, I just think it's problematic and hardly the best solution for everyone... On top of that, it's fairly platform specific.
And I'm quite the reverse of you, I have never liked Outlook. (I have used it in along side exchange, rather than a stand-alone e-mail client)...but I try not to let my preference determine what's best for a customer.
This thread did actually prompt me to discover Zimbra. It looks interesting. I don't know if I'd ever recommend it to a customer, but I'm certainly interested in checking it out to see what it can do.
Either way, in the end what really matters is what's best for our customer. Even die hard exchange fans have to acknowledge that it's not for everyone...if you don't you're not understanding the reality of the business segment some of us work in.
Google Apps for business
I have setup approx 25 seperate business using Google Apps for business
These range from 1-20 users, most I have moved from SBS servers.
The one thing is that the paid google apps, has a 99% uptime were normal gmail does not. Very good selling point!
Google Apps for business takes time to setup and import email data but it is worth it in the end trust me.. Forget SBS 2008/2011 ect
This is way

It is a beautiful drive up to the Jerusalem Hills that always reminds me of Provence. Yossi and his lovely wife Dina, who makes lovely biscuits, were our gracious hosts. Yossi, who writes a blog called Yossi's Wine Page, invites vintners from boutique wineries around the country to do wine tastings about once a month at his home .

At SmileLabs, the staff is focused on one thing: whitening teeth. To lift stains and discolorations caused by drinking coffee, sipping colas, and chewing crayons, they fill custom silicone mouth trays with a peroxide-based whitening gel, which is water-based to prevent tooth sensitivity. Once teeth have been coated in the gel, they aim their Millennium SL LED lamp at the teeth to accelerate the whitening process. Each treatment takes about 15 minutes, and clients can double up treatments during a single visit.
Remember the Alamo. In their own unique way, the game designers at Splat Attack Paintball honor that charge with a scenario based around the legendary battle. The Alamo is one of Splat Attack's 13 games, which range from classics such as capture the flag to mutants, a riff on hide-and-seek where players search for their "contaminated" foes. Rounds take place across Splat Attack's more than 12 acres, which encompass landscapes both large and small—not to mention open and dense. Giant wooden spools and barrels populate the more traditional, speedball-style fields, while woodland surroundings include trenches and confined trailers, where players can take cover behind walls and napping movie stars.

Burst of Light: Caravaggio and His Legacy
Ends June 16, Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, 600 Main Street, Hartford, thewadsworth.org
It is nearly impossible to look at a painting by Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi, 1572-1610) without pondering the personal chaos out of which it was created. The preternaturally talented Caravaggio was, as an old bluesman might put it, born under a bad sign. At age 6, most of his family was wiped out by bubonic plague. By the time he moved to Rome at 21, he was roaming city streets with a gang of artists and hooligans whose Latin motto translated as the ur-punk-ish "without hope, without fear."
He drank and probably drugged, gambled and fought, was omnivorous in his sexual tastes, from boys to prostitutes, and may have had syphilis at his death. Not surprisingly, then, Caravaggio painted on the run, constantly fleeing creditors, court cases (for murder, for assault, for insults). He was grievously wounded — actually disfigured — in a tavern fight in Naples. And yet, he did paint, in much the same way that Jim Morrison wrested timeless poetry, music and art out of his own personal chaos. Like Morrison, Caravaggio was popular in his day, much sought-after for commissions (no lonely and ignored Van Gogh he) but tempestuous and tormented. How could such personal chaos produce such unrivaled mastery?
The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art once again begs that question in "Burst of Light: Caravaggio and His Legacy," an exhibition of five works by the elusive master (only 80 works by Caravaggio are known to exist in the world) augmented by 30 works on similar themes by his contemporaries and immediate successors. This show, which offers a taste of Caravaggio's genius, is particularly good at reminding you of that he had few rivals in his day. The five paintings by Caravaggio (Martha and Mary Magdalen, Salome Receives the Head of St. John the Baptist, Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness, and The Denial of Saint Peter) are housed in a central gallery and then two adjoining galleries are filled with the work of artists in Rome, Spain, France, Holland, and elsewhere said to "incorporate elements of Caravaggio's style and themes in their work." These artists, such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Jusepe de Ribera, Francisco Zurbaran and Michiel Sweerts, were said to be so smitten by Caravaggio that they have been called "Caravaggisti."
Some, like the brilliant Flemish Sweerts, were separated from Caravaggio by many more than six degrees. According to the curators, Sweerts' "Burying the Dead" (1650), included in this show, "suggests a debt to Caravaggio, though probably received by way of Northern painters working in Rome." But most of the others are very much aping the master. Indeed, many depict the same scenes Caravaggio painted.
For example, in Caravaggio's version of "The Denial of Saint Peter," Peter is in the process of denying Jesus three times to two figures of authority. The painting was done in Caravaggio's final year of life, and it reflects his own dissipated state. Peter's eyes are haunted and afraid (Caravaggio slept with a dagger), tormented; he is haggard and disheveled, caught off guard. His guilt is all over his face. In Gerrit van Honthort's 1625 version of this scene, found in the adjoining gallery, Peter is poker-faced, calm and reasonably assured that he won't be found out. In Nicolas Tournier's 1625 version of the same scene, found in a third gallery, Peter is hanging out in a tavern, and the interrogation by the authorities is depicted as almost an afterthought, secondary to the drama of the more central dice players. It seems a preposterous scene — did Peter hang out in taverns? Were there taverns and dice players in Jesus's day?
In short, the subject matter may be the same but the technique is not. Caravaggio's paintings leap to life, while the others just look like standard-issue museum fare by comparison.
The appeal of Caravaggio to modern art lovers may be partly due to his "bad boy" aura but that doesn't fully explain it: Just look at the art! These aren't just Biblical scenes but scenes of life made to look like Biblical stories. They are personalized by Caravaggio and to his time and his own life, and that makes them easy to approach without an art library's worth of knowledge. Francine Prose has written, "The life of Caravaggio is the closest thing we have to the myth of the sinner-saint, the street tough, the martyr, the killer, the genius—the myth that, in these jaded and secular times, we are almost ashamed to admit that we still long for, and need…"
The Wadsworth Atheneum has had a storied connection to Caravaggio. Indeed, it was one of the museums that helped resuscitate Caravaggio's reputation in the 20th century — for 200 or so years prior to that, his work had fallen into disfavor for being "vulgar" — and it's a feather in the Wadsworth's cap that, with its purchase of Ecstasy of St Francis in 1944, it became the first in America to own a work by Caravaggio. It wasn't until 1950s, with an exhibition in Milan, that his reputation was rescued for perpetuity.

Italian Deputy FM arrives in Addis Ababa
Addis Ababa, 4 July 2014 (WIC) – Italy's Deputy Foreign Minister Lapo Pistelli arrived in Addis Ababa on Friday for talks with Ethiopian officials.
The Italian diplomat is expected to meet with Ethiopian State Minister for Foreign Affairs Berhane Gebrekirstos for talks on bilateral relations and other issues of mutual concern.
In a statement on its webpage, the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry described relations between Ethiopia and Italy as "historical".
Trade relations between Ethiopia and Italy have continued to expand rapidly since 1997.
The volume of trade exchange between the two countries reached 3.8 billion birr in 2009, from only 1 billion birr in 1997.
The trade balance, however, remains firmly in Italy's favor with Ethiopian exports amounting to 561 million birr in 2010 and imports from Italy reaching 3.21 billion birr.
The main commodities that Ethiopia exports to Italy are coffee, hides and skin, while imports include manufacturing goods and construction equipment.
On Wednesday, Pistelli visited Eritrea and met with Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki. (AA)

Everybody Hates the NFL Replacement Refs
In case you haven't heard, last night's football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks ended on a call that was, at the very least, dubious. And the tainted result has fans across the U.S. (not to mention high rollers in Vegas) seeing red.
On watching and re-watching the video, we can see quite clearly that the Hawks' receiver not only shoved one of the defenders out of the way before making his "catch"; he never even had proper possession of the football.
To make things worse, the two refs couldn't even agree on the call! The one who was closest to the action ruled the play a game-ending touchback but appeared to succumb to peer pressure (or something other unspoken force) and turn it into a touchdown. We're still a little shocked that a call this bad was made by people who get paid to make calls—even if they are replacements.
One thing that even the (very lucky) winning coach can agree on: the NFL's labor impasse needs to end.
Here are some quotes that NFL officials should read—from people with the experience to know:

Windhorst: Barnes leaning towards playing with a contender
And the constant Matt Barnes watch continues. Barnes has probably gotten more media coverage this week than he has his entire career. (Brian Windhorst Twitter)
Matt Barnes has tough choice. Come to CLE for a little more $ or play with contender. Right now, sources say, he's leaning toward contender.
Cavs can offer more $ than Heat, Magic, Celtics & Lakers. But doesn't sound like Cavs want to make quite same offer as TOR (2yrs/$9 mill).
Barnes has made "just" $7.5 mill in career so difference of $2-4 mill in a contract very significant to him. Still, he's a role player.
If he's leaning towards a contender, that means the Heat, Lakers or Celtics. I'd probably cross the Heat off first because it'd be tough for Barnes to see the court behind Wade, Lebron and Mike Miller. So that leaves the Celtics and the Lakers. The Lakers can offer a little more money (they still have a piece of the mid-level left), but the Celtics can probably offer more playing time.
If I had to put my life on it, I'd bet he goes to the Lakers. Damn them.

Having spent a fair amount of time traveling throughout the country observing and conducting interviews with movers and shakers about various aspects of the China Basketball Association and the sport of basketball in general, I have found Jim Yardley's book very accurate and brings back to life those memories I have from my own extensive experiences covering that country's brand of hoops.
The Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, a long-time journalist for The New York Times, delivers a funny, insightful gem about a season NOT on the brink, as he recounts how former NBA player-turned-veteran coach Bob Weiss is hired by a wealthy Chinese steel magnate to improve the fortunes of his Shanxi Brave Dragons, one of the nation's worst teams.
Much more than a fish-out-of-water sports book, Brave Dragons is a terrific study in contrasts about how two nations pursue goals and dreams. The veteran foreign correspondent excels in taking us inside this compelling world and richly illustrates both those different perspectives and common experiences with a sense of humor, adventure and pathos.
The contrasts within a capitalist-friendly, authoritarian-ruled Communist country are well represented by the story's main backdrop, the city of Taiyuan, which the author calls "the boiler room of China" for its role as the country's leading center of coal mining.
"It was where miners earning maybe $5 a day died by the thousands in unsafe mines," writes Yardley, "and it was where so many overnight millionaires had been created that Louis Vuitton and Cartier were anchor tenants in the newest shopping mall in downtown Taiyuan."
Proving his ability to deftly weave a story together with facts and entertainment, Yardley's prose provides a brilliant cultural anthropology as a way to not only better understand today's China beyond the hardwood courts, but provides readers with a perceptive prism, a metaphorical mirror to how ambitious China is in general.

Setting at home last night and a new cache notification beeped. It was 9pm at night---do we run and get it now? A flashlight could have the cops there in matter of minutes. Sensibility took over so we waited till morning. Beautiful sunrise, so we skipped breakfast and took off to the cache to see if we could be the first to find. The cache was there, we grabbed it up and there was no other names on the log. Yes-a first to find!We broke the travel bug free from the container so it can start on it's adventures.We've cached across the country and always enjoy the boy scout hides. It's a good hobby for the scouts and their families. Thank you for placing the cache and the Sterling North Society for allowing the cache to be placed upon their property.

Kelsey, thats me. I'm a new student in this strange school called Soutleaf Highschool, and i'm wondering if i will ever get the spotlight. surely i will get it, with my natural beauty with a little gloss, and my beautiful hair. I will totally rock the stage! My old bestfriends like to call me the 'Beauty Queen'
My Dad dropped me off to this new school, and i have to survive alone. But with my special instinct i could see which one is the popular and which one is NOT! Good thing i'm using these expensive look that popular girl dress like, and i curled my hair too. An innocent girl walked up to me suddenly.
" Hey there! You must be Kelsey the new student, I'm Linda. I will be showing you around " She smiled. I could see her beautiful golden hair and her cute white blouse and this typical pink short skirt.
" Hey there..." I smiled at her and sighed. " Great. I'm the new girl..." I looked down but then looked back at her with a soft smile.
" Yeah, don't worry. Good thing you have me. Because i can totally bring you up to the top of the rank" She said. she continued because it looks like i'm interested. " Those three hot girls over there wearing pink dresses" she pointed " those girls are the barbie dolls, they all have blonde hair like yours! that is why i want to help you be like them when you have the chance"
" Wow, ok. I guess i'll give it a try" I looked at her confused.
She told me everything, she told me about the geeks, nerds, nice people, hippies, dancers, and of course the jocks, cheerleaders, and other things... she even gave me a map to of cafeteria tables. where each table have their own type.
the bell rang and all student rushed inside their class, and we all gather in our homeroom. I found mine and full of relief that i'm not late. I sit next to Linda, i was surprised that she was in my class. i get to know people and stuff but i'm planning to see the popular barbies.they need my beauty in order to be a better and stronger barbie here.i thought to myself. As the bell rang i tried to walk pass these barbies. One of them stopped me suddenly.
" Hold! Who are you?" this girl looked at me. Linda told me there is always a leader, the smart one, and the dumb one. and guess who stopped me? the dumb one. " Are you a visitor?" she asked.
" Relax Ashley, she's a new student" i bet thats the leader " Hi there, I'm Jeniffer" She looked at me with a grin. " This is Ashley, and this is Lori" Jeniffer introduced her other friends. i found out that Ashley is the dumb one, Jeniffer the leader, and of course Alexa the smart girl. they all dress in pink dresses, luckily i was wearing a pink too, but with some expensive white coat. But Alexa she have a slight ginger hair.... she is the shortest in the barbie gang.
" And you are?" Alexa interupted the silence.
" I'm Kelsey, i'm obviously new here" i smiled and rolled my eyes at the same time
" Oh i see, are you busy after school?" Jeniffer asked
" No" i said directly with a bit of excitement
" Come hang out with us ;) " Ashley said
I'm delighted and we planned the time, and the mall, and yeah... so this is a fresh start of being the top of the rank. right now i'm not in the rank, i'm still an empty paper ready to be filled with glitter to be the highest rank.... one of the highest rank

Our Team
The World Scholar's Cup draws on the spirited contributions of staff, volunteers, and affiliates and partners all over the world; there is no way to introduce all of them here. Below are just a few of our core team members:
|Daniel Berdichevsky is the founder and alpaca-in-chief of the World Scholar's Cup. In high school, Daniel achieved the highest score in the history of the United States Academic Decathlon. He has been a professional nerd ever since. For Daniel, Decathlon was life-changing: it introduced him to cross-curricular thinking and to the joy of teamwork, it inspired him to overcome his fear of public speaking, and it launched him into college with new confidence. It was after studying science, technology, and society and public policy at Stanford and Harvard Universities that Daniel came to three realizations: first, that there was no opportunity like Academic Decathlon for students all around the world; second, that such a global program could be for students in the 21st century what Decathlon had been for him in the 20th; and third, that he had just discovered his life's work. In his spare time, Daniel has also led strategic innovation for CASIO, worked in venture capital, and volunteered for progressive political campaigns, including Obama for America. He spends much of his time on the road hosting tournaments, speaking at schools, and losing his passport. Daniel loves nothing more (except maybe alpacas) than interacting with and learning from students around the world.
|Zachary Ellington is the tournament director of the World Scholar's Cup. As a high school student, Zac not only won the United States Academic Decathlon, but participated in the first-ever world finals of the World Scholar's Cup. A recipient of the prestigious American Posse Scholarship, Zac chose to study linguistics at Grinnell College in Iowa. Since joining the World Scholar's Cup in 2011, Zac has visited over thirty countries and organized almost 80 tournaments. For those of you on Twitter, he tweets as the Wayward Alpaca. Like Daniel, Zac travels everywhere with his own pillow. Unlike Daniel, Zac has not cut his hair since 2007. Outside of DemiDec and the World Scholar's Cup, Zac has led a diverse career, including a stint as a bartender in Puerto Rico and as a series regular on the American soap opera General Hospital. You can contact him at [email protected].
|Burch Wang is a composer, actor, and entertainer—and, since the beginning of 2012, World Scholar's Cup director of social stuff. He also recently emceed the largest-ever dance in the program's history: 1500 students at the Global Round in Dubai. This peak moment followed a more dubious achievement: his epic tearing of his Achilles' tendon dancing Gangnam Style in the final five minutes of the first-ever Delhi Round in 2012. At Stanford University, he was Daniel's student in bioethics and then Daniel's tutor in singing, commencing a friendship and creative collaboration that has endured for over fifteen years. Someday, they plan to write a musical together. It will feature alpacas.
|Grace Yang led a simple and alpaca-free life in a small town in Zhejiang, China, till she became the first student from China ever to participate in the World Scholar's Cup back in 2009. Since then, her life has changed dramatically: she became part of the World Scholar's Cup tournament team and travels the world to promote and organize this uplifting, inspiring, and ultimately fun event. Grace is currently completing a Sociology degree at New York University. When she's not busy studying Durkheim or getting stuck at immigration for visa issues, Grace enjoys finding cheap tickets to Broadway shows, writing hotel reviews for Tripadvisor, and locating the best dessert places in NYC. She was recently crowned Scavenger Hunt Goddess by Daniel Berdichevsky for creating tasks like "eat Zac's hair" at the Tournament of Champions at Yale University.
|Josephine Richstad is the Director of Curriculum at the World Scholar's Cup. She holds a Ph.D. in English from UCLA and a BA, also in English, from Columbia University. She first joined DemiDec as a writer in 2008, beginning her alpaca-centric collaboration with Daniel over breakfast at a Malibu diner shortly before going underground at a Charles Dickens festival. She is pictured here at her desk in sort-of-upstate New York, where she divides her time between tending her family (including a daughter who infamously savaged Daniel's favorite stuffed alpaca), teaching herself economics, masterminding the production of DemiDec materials, and not taking international flights.
|Jeremy Chumley (a.k.a. "J-Chum") is the Managing Director (and resident optimist) at the World Scholar's Cup. When Jeremy is not championing the program at schools, conferences, or Shake Shack, he can be found wandering into dodgy Dubai establishments and retrieving dead drops from abandoned rental cars. No one else on the team can match his facility with prose, his fascination with packaging, or his nose for serendipity. Jeremy is also known for a peculiar obsession with Lorde's "Royals" and for deploying his smooth Texan accent on the telephone—making even the coldest call a little warmer.
|Nathan Levin is the Associate Program Director at the World Scholar's Cup, with a special emphasis on building participation in emerging regions and on overseeing scoring at new and existing rounds. Nathan grew up in the bustling metropolis of Toledo, Ohio, where he ached to see rest of the world, including Iowa and Michigan. He earned his B.A in Computer Science from Grinnell College, where he discovered both Ultimate Frisbee and Zac Ellington. His friendship with Zac has led him from Disney rides in Orlando to scooter rides in Kaohsiung, and now to wrangling alpacas at the World Scholar's Cup. During his free time Nathan likes to play guitar, hike, play frisbee, deny any resemblance to Seth Green, and trade relics known as paperback books.
|Sara Syed is the newest and un-oldest member of the World Scholar's Cup team. She doesn't quite understand how she's gone in just two years from not knowing what an alpaca looks like to being questioned at Toronto Pearson Intl. Airport about the bright purple "llama-esque creature" in her backpack. A chance meeting with Daniel Berdichevsky at a debate tournament in Dubai in 2011 led to her becoming a scholar in 2012 and a volunteer and staff member in 2013. She envisions that, by the end of 2014, she will have metamorphosed entirely into an alpaca, although hopefully not a purple one. Until then, she hopes to promote and help organize the program at schools across the Middle East. (Afterward, she will still attend tournaments as a prop.) When she's not praying for responses to her invitation letters, she enjoys drinking tea, teaching debate, and finding the best kebab spots in Dubai.
|Patrick McDonald is the Chief Operating Alpaca of the World Scholar's Cup and, like once-upon-a-time roommate Daniel Berdichevsky, a graduate of Stanford University, where he studied philosophy and Hotel California. Until recently, he was the Director of the Huntley Public Library in the exurbs of Chicago, Illinois; he now brings to the World Scholar's Cup his deep love of learning and literacy, his relentless knack for organization, and his Chromebook. The team's only pescaterian, he is also the most likely member of the staff to be found meditating and/or drinking things that are green.
|Tania Asnes contributes to curriculum and test development for the World Scholar's Cup out of her secret footnote-infested lair in New York City. A graduate of Barnard College and a wily veteran of the Trans-Siberian Railroad, Tania has been a vital part of the World Scholar's Cup team, and, just as importantly, its voice, since 2007. In that time she has learned about everything from guillotines to space travel, and has evolved into an expert at offhand alpaca references, which can prove awkward in everyday life, especially at the supermarket and at dinner parties. When detached from her desk, she can be found performing off Broadway, practicing monologues, and purchasing copious quantities of bliny.

Halls: Concert Halls, School Halls, Halls Cough Drops, all solid thoughts when presented with the word Halls. Me, I immediately associate the word with Halls Grocery in Colleyville. Named after Charlie Hall, a long time resident of the Grapevine/Colleyville area. Charlie was once described to me on a hunting trip in this manner, "He's not a firecracker, he's the whole dadgumm grand finale." Anyone who has the pleasure of being around Charlie knows this is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I once heard him threaten to go "MMA" on a customer…he was extremely serious and convincing I might add. But make no mistake, Hall's is not a grocery store, it's a gas station on the corner of Glade and 121. If you didn't know what was behind it's ordinary glass doors, you would never fathom it held one of the greatest craft beer selections in the metroplex, let alone our great state. It also has an elaborate selection of fine wines and spirits, if that's your cup of spiked tea.
My father-in-law introduced me to Hall's about six or seven years ago, and I've been frequenting their doors ever since. Craft beer was, and is, the conduit to which my father-in-law and I have formed one of our many bonds. Yes, I am a beer snob…there is no point in denying the blatant truth. I used to think there was only Coors and Corona, and now those beers (if you can honestly call them that) are happily dead to me. I find delight in every form of craft beer, with the exception of pilsners and "smoked" beers. At a beer tasting recently I poured out a very nice "smoked" beer, as it was sold to me as the best smoked beer available. Never again, will I be tempted by this. I mean who wants to mix the taste of a camp fire with anything except a marshmallow?
I could very easily dive head first into one of the many deep rabbit holes when it comes to the intricacies of craft beer. So, instead I will plead with those of you who still call Bud, Coors and Miller their friends, to step out and broaden their horizons. By no means do I think everyone will enjoy some of the beers they experience, but I also think palates can develop over time. The first time I encountered an IPA (Indian Pale Ale) I thought it tasted like hairspray, and now I very much enjoy the floral and hoppy notes of a solid IPA. On my most recent trip to Hall's, I purchased an Old Rasputin Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout, a Dogfish Head ale brewed with grape must, a Sixpoint ale brewed with fine coffee beans, and another Dogfish Head ale brewed with maple and vanilla. Some of these I will age for a year or longer, and others I will enjoy right away. Craft beer is much like wine in many ways, but I much prefer the brew. Now that we've clearly established I am long winded when it comes to this subject, and more than happy to have a beer discussion with anyone out there, here comes the curve-ball…
Halls also has legit BBQ, again you'd never guess this gas station possessed an awesome BBQ and deli counter, but then again it kind of makes since once you figure Hall's out. They smoke and cook everything in house and it's very affordable. I am a big fan of their rib plate, served with two sides, I always opt for the mustard based potato salad and brisket filled beans. The ribs are full of fall off of the bone meat, and their home made BBQ sauce is some of my favorite (don't be scared to ask for extra). They also have delicious brisket, hot links, turkey, and smoked bologna among many other options. I know…I am not a big bologna guy either, but this sandwich is like having a great hot-dog on a bun, with your choice of fix-ins. Still kind of a hard sell I know, but I enjoy it. They also have home made pies for dessert if you have the room.
Hall's Grocery is full of character, fantastic beer, tasty food, and helpful employees. If you appreciate Hall's, Hall's will appreciate you. I am thankful this establishment is in my backyard, and hope many of you will venture out and walk its halls with an appreciation for what they are doing out there.
I've visited Hall's many times but haven't taken the time to browse their craft beers. Thanks for the reminder that I should.
Although I appreciate that Hall's is located a mile from my house, I'm not a big Charlie fan. After knowing a few people that have worked for him, and knowing the character traits that he portrays, I have been hesitant to support him with my dollars.
Maybe he's turned a new leaf and I should give him another shot?
Well done my son-in-law, well done.

So a few rides back I noticed that my Mach 5.7 carbon had a bit of lateral flex (the rear end noticeably moves left/right when under pressure), and on Sunday's ride I heard quite a bit of creaking. At first I thought this is just the nature of a full suspension bike, but my brother's new carbon full-suspension bike shows no flex of this kind whatsoever.
So far I've checked the suspension bolts to see if they were loose and they all seemed quite tight (I didn't over tighten). Any thoughts on what the issue is? I'll be taking it into the bike shop in the next few days for a more formal analysis, just hoping to hear back from somebody who has seen this previously, or heard of any potential fixes.

November is always a special month. This November, one of the ways we celebrated Alzheimer's Awareness Month was by conducting personal interviews with our scientists at the Fisher Center laboratory at The Rockefeller University. Nobel Laureate Dr. Paul Greengard and his team are making tremendous strides, and I am pleased to tell you that the successful outcome of our latest experiments provides the greatest likelihood for conquering this disease.
As we enter the holiday season, I want to wish you and your loved ones a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving. While this year may have been challenging for many of us, let us, as we sit down at the Thanksgiving table, reflect on the blessings we have received, the good times we have enjoyed with friends and family during 2012 and all the many things we have to be thankful for.
I also want to thank you, for being a part of our Fisher Center family. We could not continue our vital research efforts and programs without your support.
From our families to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

As the weather chills, we all head inside to stay warm. We hope this issue of Preserving Your Memory helps keep you comforted during these cooler months.
We spoke with Joan Lunden about the challenges and rewards of caregiving (page 18). We also talked with Kathleen Kelly of the Family Caregiver Alliance about the new National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease and what it means to caregivers (page 27).

Review of chapter "Rise of the Juggernaut" from
Real interesting story. I have noticed you seem to write a lot of 1 chapter fics. Then again, not every author can write really long ones, and not every idea warrants it.
Comments from author:
I never did like breaking things up into chapters. I geuss its just lazyness. I've actually been working on that. Sorry it took so long to write back. Thanks for the review.

Review of chapter "Rise of the Juggernaut" from
A great fic. Allows some rather unique storytelling for the future as well.
Plus there is a small chance for a pairing in Xander's future. Since you changed Juggernauts origin no reason you could not change She-Hulk's origin. Have Faith exposed to some of Bruce Banners blood via Wolfram and Hart machinations...
Comments from author:
Thanks for the review. I'm not doing to much writing now. Joined the Marines some time ago, and its been work work work. Glad to hear people are still reading my work though.
I like the idea of Faith as She-Hulk. Its interesting. But I don't think I'll be continuing this one. Though, I did think of writing the pairing as Xander/Glory. Being a God would have allowed her to...well survive sex with The Juggernaut. At any rate, thanks again for reading.

Good Story. Though Not sure where you ended it was the right place to end it. Sorta left it at a cliffhanger point. No real conclusion. Though it is a perfect spot for a sequel.

Review of chapter "Rise of the Juggernaut" from
Well, first thing Juggernaut wasn't a mutant. He was altered by an outside force and is a Magical Avatar/Exemplar of the diety Cyttorak.
Sunnydale being a "anti-mutant" place when it completely ignores things that could easily be taken -as- a breed of mutants that expands itself through blood isn't very good either. If they ignore the supernatural, then they'd ignore anything that didn't fit their standards of normal, and that includes mutants.
Comments from author:
I know he wasn't a mutant. A magical stone, created by Cyttorak did it. Thats sorta why I had magic do it in this instance again. I thought it connected them pretty well.
I can't understand people in Sunnydale personaly. Some live in the know, while others heads are just filled with hot air. But the thing is, they don't know about evil monsters. They would assume anything strange they saw was there heads playing tricks, or maybe a mutant did do it. Whos to say?

Review of chapter "Rise of the Juggernaut" from
Not a bad idea but I always did feel the Xmen and Buffy-verse do not match up at all. Sure some one can come from one dimension and end up in the other, or some mutant powers turn up in Buffy verse but they do not match at all. You just can't have the mutant hating public and the same 'blind eye' to the supernatural at the same time imo. They would notice vampires and claim their mutants, much same for demons, witches and such to.
In the big picture of things they just don't blend at all, and it shows badly in this fic any time wanted have a 'anti mutant' person start ranting. Sunnydale the capital of blindness reacting so openly and obviously is just a bad job, former demon Anya being so 'pro human' is also abit weird. I do love the Juggernaut though and I think giving Xander it's powers was pretty interesting, as was activating his mutant by magic. Though given what I know about he X gene.. that it's activated by stressful situations you would have to ask yourself how in the heck could Xander not activated his by then? He's been in more life and death situations then almost anyone in the Xmen world.
Comments from author:
I dunno what to say, I think Xmen and the B-verse do indeed match up pretty well. We've seen moments in Buffy and Angel where characters had powers that weren't magical, or demonic, simply there. Unexplained. Well, mutation is always an easy answer. As for the Xmen side, they had magic in the comics. Hell, Storm did battle with Dracula if I remember correctly.
People in Sunnydale are an odd mix, so blind one moment and the next totaly in the know. Snyder knew, the chief of police, many others. Maybe it was because Wilkins clued them in. But in the end they knew. And lied. So its hard to know what people there see and don't. Anya in this season was very selfish, very new to being human. But she embraced it. Its not hard seeing her embrace the ugly parts too.
The Juggernaut isn't actually a mutant. He was a man, Xavier's brother, who got his powers through a magical stone. I was trying to connect that part of the comics with the B-verse. Magic did it, twice.
I hope this answers some of your questions.

Review of chapter "Rise of the Juggernaut" from
I've seen Xander son of magnito, xander child of mystic and sabertooth, and general Xander the mutant, but I think this story portray's Xander better than any of them. He's huge, powerful, and impervious to harm, yet he doesn't let it get to his head. Anya, sad as it seems, is fairly accurate for this part of the series. She gets better latter on as she learns to care, but at this point she is callas and self-absorbed. I hate how you ended it on a cliff hanger however. Does he catch faith? How does he handle LA? Are the X-Men called in for the 'rampaging mutant'? Does he just pile through them after they try to stop him from finding her? Is she the one that calms him down, does he calm her? I read a review that you were almost finished with a sequal a couple years ago, I really hope you post it.
Comments from author:
I'm glad you liked it. I try to do new things, I don't like following the crowd. There are too many Xander/Wolverine stories out there. Sure, its easy to make them. They have alot in common, and do infact look similar in alot of ways. But I wanted something different.
Alot has happened in the last few years, I joined the Marines a few years back, was stationed in Japan, Iraq, so on. Its hard to write fiction with so many things going on. I've pretty much left this as a stang alone. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and sorry I couldn't review sooner.

The characterization is perfectly done. I love how for once Anya was the bad guy and the rest of the Scoobies were the good guys.
On a side note, any word of a sequel?

extremely well done. good characteriszation, good plot, good detail, very good execution. I hope you continue this soon as I'm very curious how he and Faith will work things through and if there will be any repercussions for him walking through town.

Review of chapter "Rise of the Juggernaut" from
i just found this story by way of reccomendation of a friend... and let me say firstly wow...
your characterisation is spot on, i love the way you portrayed Xander's growth and the problems that he now faces, right down to the bigotry he now faces from the 'normal' inhabitants of sunnydale... the scene with spike, anya and xander was absolutely hilarious... i'm almost dissapointed that Xander didn't rip spikes arms off.
it would be very interesting to show Xander going up against Adam now... especially since he's now bullet proof and pretty much impervious to any damage.
i hope you do write some more for this fic, the premise is more than intrquing and i can't wait to see how Angel, Cordelia and Doyle (maybe?) treat him... that could prove to be a very interesting scene... maybe he will catch up to faith and bring her back to the light side... or maybe the bigotry of others in LA will change his mindset a little more towards the 'grey' area that faith lives in...
again please carry on with this fic :)

Review of chapter "Rise of the Juggernaut" from
This is a completely awsome story! I love how Xander is portrayed. I wasn't so happy Anya had to be so...awful, but for the sake of the plot it had to be done. Again, great story!
Comments from author:
Yeah, I think I did a pertty good job with Xander in this one. Well, as for Anya....most of the time Buffy, willow, ect get to be the 'bad guy' in terms of Xander's all out exsistance. I wanted them to be on his side for the whole thing, to suppost him in this change.
I'm glad you liked it, thansk for the review.

Silk (Sunday - PBS, 9pm) - Creator Peter Moffat (Criminal Justice) is a playwright and a former barrister, and it shows.
Narratively and thematically ambitious, each episode of Silk follows at least two hot-button cases -- drug mules, young prostitutes, non-stranger rape -- while exploring the dilemmas of a defense barrister and the perils of being true to one's self and professionally successful.
More important, Moffat and his deep bench of talented performers create characters who defy expectation and grow in complexity with each episode.

Semih Erden playing despite labrum issue
There's a stereotype that European players are soft. Not Semih Erden, says Doc Rivers. "I think he's more of an Argentinian — that whole group of guys are as aggressive as you can get."
Erden has displayed his toughness by battling through a shoulder injury, which Rivers says is likely a labrum issue. Rivers says Erden is more hurt than spectators understand, although Erden expects to finish the season before undergoing surgery. (ESPN Boston)
"He's taken a beating this year, a typical rookie year," said Rivers. "For a big, it probably hurts more that he has to practice with [Shaquille O'Neal], Kevin [Garnett], and [Glen Davis]. I don't think that makes it any easier for him at all.
"We don't know if he's embracing it, we just know he's getting hit. Even if he's not trying to get hit, he's getting hit anyway in our practices. Overall, he's handling it pretty well. I think the language barrier helps on that, because when he complains to me about it, I don't understand what he's saying. So that's good, too. I think he' a physical player by nature, anyway.
At one point last night, Erden sat on the bench, winced, and grabbed for his shoulder. Clearly hurting, Erden is toughing out the pain to help the Celtics. With Kendrick Perkins and Jermaine O'Neal out with injuries, Erden's toughness is more necessary than it should be. I never expected this, but the Celtics need Erden.
Not that all has been gravy for Erden this season. During last night's first half, Erden looked like he was trying to become the fastest NBA player ever to foul out of a game. If Erden had dreads, black skin, and refused to rotate on defense, I would have sworn he was Mikki Moore. But even that spell of Moore-esque defense couldn't hide that Erden has been a gift sent from Turkey.
"He has [exceeded expectations]," said Rivers. "This summer, his back was hurt, so in summer league, if you watched, you didn't see much. We didn't really know what we were getting. On film in the [FIBA world championships], he looked good, so that gave us some confidence, like 'Wow, he can play this game.' But you never know on our level if that's going to translate. And it has."
I saw the World Championships too, and Erden impressed the same way he has in Boston. Not with eye-popping statistics, but with an appreciable knowledge of the game.
It's a good thing Erden's a solid basketball player. After taking a shot to the nose last night from JaVale McGee, Doc Rivers noted, "He's just not going to have a modeling career."
