From the Grassroots...
If you ask her about her ultimate goal, her reply would be, "to rid Maharashtra of child slavery."
Who more would have the credibility of a grassroots women's rights and anti-child labor activist than someone like Anuradha Bhosale, who was herself a child labor victim at age six Life's experiences helped shape her to be the strong and independent woman that she is now. Despite her rude awakening from the realities of life, this did not close her eyes to the realization that thousands more of her countrymen deserve to live better lives. More importantly, that she CAN help them achieve it.
She recognised the need for empowering and educating women to help make them independent and self-sufficient. Her Bachelor's degree in Social Work was an advantage in her mission to help solve the problem on child labor. She founded the Women and Child Rights Campaign (WCRC) which focuses on educating and empowering widowed, divorced and abandoned women – women, who if not empowered to help themselves and be self-sufficient, will likely end up sending their children into child labor activities, to help augment the family income, instead of sending them to school.
Her belief that with education and self-reliance, growth and independence can be achieved, encouraged her to establish the WCRC (Women and Child Rights Campaign). Through WCRC, thousands of widowed, divorced and deprived women in the rural areas of Kolhapur, India were educated, trained and empowered. They learned not only to be self-sufficient but also to realize that they are empowered and have constitutional rights that they should fight for. 52,000 of these empowered women now receive some $714,000 in monthly government pension checks they were once not even aware of being entitled to.
Through the AVANI organization she founded, she was able to help rescue 541 child laborers, provided 5,604 nomadic migrant children and school drop outs the right to health care and education, organized the construction of schools inside the brickyard labor camps and established a residential home for migrant children.
It was also through AVANI where she launched an education campaign for ordinary voters through street play performances as medium for her awareness campaigns. She was at the forefront of public rallies and protest demonstrations. In one of Dr. Sunilkumar Lavate's public speeches, a Principal of Mahaveer College in Kolhapur, he called her the "Phulan Devi of Kolhapur" (an ordinary village woman, who was abducted by outlaws and raped, escaped and turned herself into a 'bandit queen' to avenge her assailants, jailed and later elected to the Parliament).
Anuradha has been running the school since 2004 where children are provided with food, shelter, education. Fifty percent of their expenses are from public donations and through the grant given by Mahatma Gandhi Foundation, Mumbai, run by the grandson of the Mahatma. AVANI is also supported by GoPhilanthropic and Unite to Light, non-profit organizations that support the same cause as AVANI.
She will be travelling from India to the U.S. to attend meetings and other gatherings in Chicago, Rochester NY, to raise awareness in continuing support for the GWEI(Gandhi Worldwide Education Institute)-AVANI Child Education Residence in Kolhapur, India.
Anuradha is indeed a picture of a woman who has become the voice of those who have none – the child laborers and disadvantaged women of Kolhapur, India. A trait worth emulating...
Source: http://www.gandhiforchildren.org
Say 'NO' to 'child slavery'
Yes the People of 'Maharashtra' listen to Anuradha time has come to say NO AND NO AND NEVER to 'CHILD LABOUR' ' CHILD SLAVERY' .... This is year 2012 it is so sad to hear even the words 'child slavery' . We even hate to use the words 'slaves'
Anuradha ... may you find all the strength you need to rid Maharashtra from child slavery ! ......

Heroes Lost: 4 of the Worst Wildfire-Firefighter Losses in U.S. History
The loss of 19 firefighters in the Yarnell Hill fire makes this incident the deadliest for firefighters since 9/11. Here are more of the deadliest fires in American history.
By Will Dietrich-Egensteiner
Mann Gulch Fire, Montana
Back in 1949, a lightning storm set off fires in Helena National Forest on Aug. 4. The Mann Gulch fire was detected at noon the following day. The fire was estimated to cover 50 to 60 acres by the time the smoke jumpers from the Missoula Smokejumper Base descended up canyon from it. As they moved down canyon, an unseen spot fire cut off their access to the main blaze, killing most of the group. The crew foreman lit an escape fire to consume any potential fuel for the main fire, but the smoke jumpers didnt follow him into the burned areathey hadnt been trained in escape fires. While the foreman lay down in the charred area and survived, the smoke jumpers were killed.

Version 1.00
Last Revision Date: March 16, 2012
Approval Date: October 16, 2008
Approval Authority: Case Chief Information Officer
Case Western Reserve University relies significantly upon the use of university-provided credentials (Case "Network ID" and password) to provide authentication for access to online IT resources. In particular, passwords constitute the first line of a layered defense program as the 'keys' users have to gain access to university information and information systems. The risk of compromise of these authentication credentials used by the university community leads to an increased impact on the confidentialiy, integrity, and availability of IT systems and information. All users are bound by the Acceptable Use of IT and Computing Resources Policy (AUP) to take appropriate measures, as described in this policy, to create and secure thier passwords.
The purpose of this policy is to establish minimum standards for protection, complexity (strength), protection, and refresh interval for university passwords. The applicaton of individual accountability and the principle of least privilege are applied in this policy.
This policy applies to all university users who have or are responsible for user and system accounts in Case IT systems that store or process Internal Use or Resricted information.
This policy applies to all IT systems managed and operated by the Case faculty, students, staff, term staff under contract employment, and affilates. This policy may apply to certain non-ITS systems accounts that provide access to sensitive University information and information systems where the exposure to impact would have significant negative impact on University operations.
This policy does not apply to password-protected files, encryption key passphrases, or local accounts that do not interface with Case authentication systems.
Not applicable.
All users of Case IT systems are individually assigned a Credentials (Case Network ID and password) for the purpose of identification for access to online systems. In accordance with the Case Acceptable Use Policy, users are individually accountable for activities performed with their credentials.
All production system level passwords for Internal Use or Resricted data must be part of the University's centrally administered account management system (e.g. integrated into LDAP or Case Active Directory). Passwords for Case systems should not be identical to those used for personal online accounts.
User and system level passwords shall be constructed in a manner that minimizes the likelihood of password guessing or brute force attacks.
Passwords with strength and complexity have the following characteristics:
Passwords shall be refreshed periodically to reduce the impact of disclosure due to undected theft of passwords or the sharing of passwords.
The maximum password age for system level passwords (e.g. root, domain administrator, application administrative accounts, local admin accounts, etc. ) is 365 days. This applies to all information Tiers (Tier I, II, and III).
For systems that support password history management, the minimum standard is for 5 generations of password changes in the password change cycle.
Passwords may be changed on a more frequent basis depending upon departmental practices and risk to the information managed, processed, or stored. The recommended minimum password age is 1 day.
Upon turnover of staff (change of personnel, rotation of job duties, etc.), system level passwords that are affected by such turnover will be changed within 30 days of the staff turnover. If extenuating circumstances exist, a risk-based decision will be coordinated between the appropriate Department Manager/Business Officer and the Chief Information Security Officer.
If the account credentials of a user or system are suspected to have been disclosed or otherwise compromised, the user shall immediately take steps to change and protect the password.
Technical measures may be implemented to ensure compliance with password lifetimes.
If a policy conflict occurs between various Case departments, the smaller value of the maximum password age shall apply.
User accounts that have system-level privileges granted through group memberships or programs such as "sudo" must have a unique password from all other accounts held by that user.
Authentication mechanisms shall use encryption (e.g. SSL or TLS) to protect the login session.
Passwords must not be inserted into email messages or other forms of electronic communication without adequate protection (e.g. end-to-end encryption) of the credentials.
Where SNMP is used, the community strings must be defined as something other than the standard defaults of "public," "private" and "system" and must be different from the passwords used to log in interactively. A keyed hash must be used where available (e.g., SNMPv2).
Applications that request a user ID and password shall not display the password in the data entry field.
Do not use the same password for Case accounts as for other non-Case access (e.g., personal ISP account, online stock trading, benefits, etc.). Where possible, don't use the same password for various Case access needs. The use of Case Single Sign On will reduce the number of accounts you need to track, but will make your Case account more valuable to protect.
Do not share Case passwords with anyone, including administrative assistants or secretaries.
All passwords are to be treated as sensitive, Tier III information.
Here is a list of "dont's":
If someone demands a password, refer them to this policy or refer them to the Case Information Security Office(firstname.lastname@example.com).
Do not use the "Remember Password" feature of applications (e.g., Eudora, OutLook, Netscape Messenger).
Notifications of Changes: Case IT staff will notify potentially affected end-users of IT systems approximately 10-30 days prior to the implementation of a system level password change.
Auditing: An audit cycle will be initiated within 30 days of the close of the password change cycle on selected events to identify the level of compliance and potential risk mitigation.
This policy will be reviewed every two years on the anniversary of the policy effective date, at a minimum. The policy may be reviewed on a more frequent basis depending on changes of risk exposure.

Has anyone done a study that looks at the standardized science test scores of high school students and sees if it correlates to the rise in rejection of evolution as an explanation for life...? Perhaps by cleaning up our educational system we might solve a few problems...
- March 2, 2009 at 10:15 AM
@"Who turned off the shaker?": One way would be to hire competent elementary/middle/high school teachers and fire incompetent ones that are there because somehow they managed to hang on long enough to get tenure.
Seriously- I went to one of the "best public schools" in Minnesota, and I still had teachers who left me gobsmacked because of their incompetence and seriously made me wonder how the fuck they managed to keep their job or how they managed to get one in the first place.
- March 2, 2009 at 6:30 PM
I hear you Rose. When I think about the good/great teachers I had (an I did have a few) they fit on one hand. But if I think of the horrible/incompetent ones...that takes more hands than I have. My parents were very involved in my education though...so I turned out alright. What would be great is if we could just "fire" some of the idiot parents too...

A link between standardized tests and the teaching of evolution in biology class is unlikely. First there is no national standardized test in biology. The tests that are given are written by the individual states and are built on said state's education standards document. So, if evolution is left out of the standards, it will not be on the test.
Of course that may lead to teachers who use "academic freedom" to preach "goddidit" to students would have disadvantaged students on the state tests. Maybe this could be a way to identify teachers that should be working in a church not a public school.
FYI From 1st-6th I have nothing but fond memories of my teachers, beyond that its a mixed bag. Not sure I would go so far as using the descriptor incompetent, but I did get in a few heated arguments with teachers over certain subjects.
- March 3, 2009 at 3:32 PM
I actually did mean general science test scores. Because my hypothesis would be that, because science (any of them--and we can throw in math too) teaches logical reasoning (or it's supposed to) that states that have students with high science test scores (and it would be neat to look historically too to check for trends) should have a population that would accept evolutionary theory. This hypothesis is based on the premise that these folks have a grasp of logical reasoning and would approach the subject from that perspective. Those states that suck at science would perhaps have a less logical population and not use rational thought to approach evolutionary theory. That's what I was suggesting. However since there isn't a nation standardized test that does pose a problem with this experiment... but if there was one it would be interesting...

Rewrite Rules: Practical Examples
Apache Rewrite Rules can be used to transform a pretty ugly looking URL into a beautiful, SEO-friendly and meaningful URL. I would like to list a couple of real-world examples below to explain how Rewrite Rules can be set up and how they work. Rewrite Rules use Regular Expressions, so this article is closely related to my Regular Expressions article.
The Rewrite Rules can be added either to your httpd.conf file of your Apache installation or to a .htaccess file. Either way, before these rules can be used, it is good practice to check if mod_rewrite is available and then switch on the rewrite engine, like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
[Your Rewrite Rules Here]
"domain.com/new/" to "index.php?page=new"
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1
- ^: pattern should match from the beginning of the string
- (: start of subpattern
- [A-Za-z0-9-]: class of characters
- +: one or more times
- ): end of subpattern
- /: foward slash…
- ?: can occur zero or once
- $: end of string
"domain.com/contact.html" to "index.php?page=contact"
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
- ^: pattern should match from the beginning of the string
- (: start of subpattern
- .: one or more of…
- *: …any character
- ): end of subpattern
- .html: followed by ".html"
- $: end of string
The subpattern "(.*)" will then be passed on to index.php as $1 parameter. [QSA] (Query String Append) means that additional parameters in the querystring will be passed on as well, e.g.
will be rewritten to
- Apache Module mod_rewrite
- Apache Rewrite Cheatsheet
- URL Rewriting
- mod_rewrite Cheat Sheet
- URL Rewriting for Beginners
- Stupid htaccess Tricks – redirects

Despite what you might think, we at FACT like to see ourselves as romantics. No, really – we do.
As has become our custom, we mark Valentine's Day with a playlist. Nothing definitive, not the 10 greatest love songs of all time, just 10 songs that concern themselves with matters of the heart. Think of it as a token of our affection for you. It's not all red roses and stolen kisses, mind: domestic abuse, premature ejaculation (of a kind) and the anxiety of influence all figure in a selection that acts as a warning as well as a celebration.

The Nets and their fans made Dwight Howard feel more than welcome.
Carmelo will try to return, again, tonight.
He says he'll sell all his assets and donate most of the money to charity.
The Nets play their last season in Jersey. Should we be watching?
Brook Lopez broke his foot, which is less than ideal on several levels.
The games count from now on!
The Knicks must look elsewhere to fill out their bench.
Key phrase: "For now".
There's no policy against it.
You might as well get psyched, since we don't have much of a choice.
At that point, you can turn your attention to actual basketball.
He's talked about wanting the NBA in the city before.
He's reportedly reached an agreement with the Turkish team Besiktas.
The Bruins are the fourth Boston-area team to win a title since 2005. How close is New York to doing something like that?
It has been seven years since the Knicks were in the playoffs. What was that game like?
He can opt out after the 2011–12 season.
The Knicks beat the Nets to crawl to one game of .500 and reduce the magic number to clinch a playoff spot to three.
A win against the Nets would be a pleasant end to a rather unpleasant March.
Last night's 88–79 win over Boston extends New Jersey's winning streak to five games.

Comedian Bill Cosby lent his powerful name to Call Me MISTER recently when he agreed to serve as honorary chairperson of the MISTER program's advisory council at Cheyney University in Philadelphia.
The actor-comedian-philanthropist put on one of his lesser-known hats – that of William H. Cosby Jr., Ph.D., educator – for a brunch with participants in Cheyney's Call Me MISTER program.
Cosby, as honorary chairman of the advisory council for Cheyney's program, made a presentation to the participants at his hometown school in September.
Call Me MISTER (Mentors Instructing Students Toward Effective Role Models) is a teacher leadership program founded at Clemson University that is aimed at training and placing more teachers from diverse cultures and backgrounds to serve in economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities.
"We are thrilled to have someone like Bill Cosby associated with our program," said Roy Jones, national director of Call Me MISTER. "I think he was pleased to see that we are doing something that he's believed in for a long time. He believes that Call Me MISTER will save lives."
In it's ninth year, Call Me MISTER is now found at 15 institutions in South Carolina and 13 institutions in six other states. The director of the program at Cheyney is Howard Jean, one of the original Misters from Claflin University who taught elementary school for several years in South Carolina before moving to Cheyney.
Cosby is a well-known entertainer to generations of Americans with a consistent television presence since his first starring role on "I Spy" in 1965. He has a long list of books and recordings and was recognized with a Kennedy Center Honor in 1998 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002. He has a master's degree and a doctorate in education from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Inspiration and
Strategy: 2 Logics
Examples Far-Reaching Meta-Technologies
that Can
Influence Development of Your Technological Vision
Information and communication technologies – spreading
new means of managing great volumes of information in real time,
computerized design, automation, process control, and communication
throughout the production and service sectors
– molecular manufacturing that can make technically feasible

Why Technological Vision?
Studies of
successful large innovative firms conclude that all of them had found ways of overcoming the
problem of short-term pressures.
However, not all companies with a long-time
horizon are
innovative and long-term horizons alone do not lead to
innovativeness. Success comes from the fact that a few key individuals have
a broad
vision of what their organizations can accomplish for the world.
Successful companies would also
have a strong market orientation at the top of the organization and explicit
mechanisms to force market-technical interactions lower down. It is the
clarity of approach and focus, and the ability to
communicate this to other
stakeholders, which helps to obtain strategic investments required for
long-term success in acquiring and exploiting technology.
Impact of Meta-Technologies
on Your Vision
Meta-technology are those which
have the capacity to radically transform many sectors of the global economy.

Thai Rice Situation and the Government's Rice Mortgage Scheme
Thailand's rice production is on the rise this year. Rice prices, which hit a record high in recent months, are likely to fall because of more output flooding the market.
The Thai rice situation was reported to the National Rice Policy Committee during its meeting on 6 June 2008, chaired by Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej. The meeting acknowledged a report by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives that Thailand's annual paddy output between the 2008 and 2009 production period is expected to reach 23.6 million metric tonnes. The figure represents an increase of 0.2 percent over that of the previous year. This volume will make an appearance in the market from October 2008 onwards.
Since rice prices from January to April this year rose significantly, farmers have turned to increasing their second rice crop production. Paddy output for the second crop is expected to be 3.4 million tonnes. It will be released into the market from this month onwards.
So the month of June will see more rice flooding the market. The report says that several foreign buyers are halting their rice purchases due to skyrocketing prices in the world market. In addition, India and Vietnam, two major rice exporters, are expected to relax their rice export restrictions. As a result, concern for a shortage of rice in the country will ease and domestic rice prices are likely to be on the decline.
However, demand for rice in the global market remains high. The Ministry of Commerce has set a target to export nine million tonnes of rice in 2008, down from an unexpectedly high 9.5 million tonnes in 2007. The Department of Foreign Trade reported that Thai rice exports from January to May this year amounted to five million tonnes, worth almost 85 billion baht.
The Public Warehouse Organization reported that the Government had 2.1 million tonnes of rice in its stockpile at the end of May 2008. According to a survey conducted by each province, the combined volume of rice possessed by the private sector was 3 million tonnes at the end of April.
The Ministry of Finance and the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives have been instructed to carry out a rice mortgage scheme for 2.5 million tonnes of rice in the Government's stockpile, including a portion of the second rice crop to be released into the market. The Government has agreed to buy rice under the scheme at 14,000 baht a tonne, the price of which is considered quite high. The scheme is intended to shore up paddy prices for farmers.
After three months from the implementation of the scheme this month, farmers may redeem their rice and take profits. For example, if the rice price is 15,000 baht a tonne at that time, farmers will receive 1,000 baht in profit. All provincial provinces were told to ensure that the rice mortgage scheme would be carried out transparently for the benefit of farmers.

Paperback - The Art of Blessing the Day: Poems with a Jewish Theme Similar Items: Pesach for the Rest of Us: Making the Passover Seder Your Own Everyday Holiness: The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar The Moon Is Always Female Editorial Reviews: SynopsisWinner of the 2000 Paterson Poetry PrizeAbout Marge Piercy's collection of her old and new poems that celebrate the Jewish experience, the poet Lyn Lifshin writes: "The Art of Blessing the Day is an exquisite book. The whole collection is strong, passionate, and poignant, but the mother and daughter poems, fierce and emotional, with their intense ambivalence, pain and joy, themes of separation and reconnecting, are among the very strongest about that difficult relationship."These striking, original, beautifully sensuous poems do just that. Ordinary moments--a sunset, a walk, a private religious ritual--are so alive in poems like 'Shabbat moment' and 'Rosh Hodesh.' In the same way that she celebrates ordinary moments, small things become charged with memories and feelings: paper snowflakes, buttons, one bird, a bottle-cap flower made from a ginger ale top and crystal beads. "She celebrates the body in rollicking, gusto-filled poems like 'Belly good' and 'The chuppah,' where 'our bodies open their portals wide.' So much that is richly sensuous: 'hands that caressed you, . . . untied the knot of pleasure and loosened your flesh till it fluttered,' and lush praise for 'life in our spines, our throats, our knees, our genitals, our brains, our tongues.'"I love the humor in poems like 'Eat fruit,' the nostalgia and joy in 'The rabbi's granddaughter and the Christmas tree,' the fresh, beautiful images of nature--'In winter . . .the sun hangs its wizened rosehip in the oaks.'"I admire Piercy's sense of the past alive in the present, in personal and social history. The poems are memorials, like the yahrtzeit candle in a glass. 'We lose and we go on losing,' but the poems are never far from harsh joy, the joy that is 'the wine of life.'"Growing up haunted by Holocaust ghosts is an echo throughout the book, and some of the strongest poems are about the Holocaust, poems that become the voices of those who had no voice: 'What you carry in your blood is us, the books we did not write, music we could not make, a world gone from gristle to smoke, only as real now as words can make it.'"Marge Piercy's words make such a moving variety of experiences beautifully and forcefully real." Amazon.com ReviewThe Art of Blessing the Day: Poems with a Jewish Theme, by Marge Piercy, is that rare book of self-avowedly religious poetry whose devotional purpose actually enhances its poetic strength. Piercy's poems, organized in chapters with thematic headings like "Family," "Marriage," and "Prayer," are plainly presented as help for living. Readers will turn to poems such as "Putting the Good Things Away" when they need inspiration for understanding their self-sacrificing mothers. Yet Piercy's devotions are real poems with a literary integrity whose strength and beauty are free of sentimentality. They are also like liturgy, because they make room for readers to experience new aspects of contemporary life while simultaneously offering the security of very old frameworks for perceiving life. The Jewish themes of these poems are sometimes overt (as in "Chuppah"), but they are often more subtle (as in "The Art of Blessing the Day"). Throughout, they evince the careful balance of faithful attention to worldly life and the humble consideration of cosmic order that distinguishes Judaism among Western religions. "Attention is love," Piercy writes in the title poem, "what we must give / children, mothers, fathers, pets, / our friends, the news, the woes of others. / What we want to change we curse and then / pick up a tool. Bless whatever you can / with eyes and hands and tongue. If you / can't bless it, get ready to make it new." --Michael Joseph Gross CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

I contacted Spector on August 3 and asked him about the SEC investigation and consent decree.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," he said before hanging up the phone.
But Spector apparently did know what I was talking about. He resigned from ADOT on August 8.
Doug Nintzel, ADOT's public information officer, declined to comment on Spector's sudden resignation and refused to release other information about him except his salary and hiring and promotion dates.
It's a very bad sign when a state agency the size of ADOT hires someone as its chief auditor who's signed an SEC consent decree to settle a fraud investigation.
Governor Janet Napolitano should quickly begin a major housecleaning of ADOT's upper management. If she doesn't, ADOT's serious financial problems could mushroom into a major campaign issue for her next year.

Thank heaven I gave birth to a baby as an easy excuse to get fat and totally let my body go. Said no one, ever.
And that's why new remarks made by celeb trainer Tracy Anderson are soliciting a firestorm of angry responses. She told DuJour magazine, "A lot of women use pregnancy as an excuse to let their bodies go, and that's the worst thing. I've seen so many women who come to me right after [having kids] with disaster bodies that have gone through hell, or they come to me years later and say, 'Oh, my body is like this because I had three kids.'"
It should be noted that Anderson herself only gained 30 pounds during pregnancy and took all of it off within six weeks. But as trainer to Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, Anderson has -- it's fair to say -- unusual access to resources and funds. And of course, she makes her living through her fit physique, unlike the average mom who is working slavishly after delivery to handle multiple demands and who is not being photographed on the red carpet.
Anderson's remarks come just after Us Weekly editor Janice Min told The New York Times that she regrets the pressure her magazine has put on women through its pages and covers touting "momshells," or new moms who seem instantly runway ready. (Hello, Heidi Klum and Gisele Bundchen.) After having her third child, the 42-year-old Min told The Times, "The notion that instantly stick-thin figures after birth are normal is untrue. Sometimes, in my sleep-deprived nights, I ponder our ideal of this near-emaciated, sexy, and well-dressed Frankenmom we've created and wonder how to undo her."
So even though Min is complicit in creating the unreasonable expectations, we applaud her for stepping up to disavow it. (Better late than never!) Here's hoping more public figures will stand up in support of reasonable, healthy expectations for new mothers -- and indeed for all women -- even as people like Anderson espouse fantasies.

Food was really good, on time, and really well priced considering quality and quantity of food. Definitely my new go-to for Italian delivery! Very solid! We really enjoyed the Caprese salad which will definitely become a standby for us. Their vodka sauce is also great if you like a more fresh tasting vodka sauce that's not too heavy with cream (unlike the pale "pink sauce" you get at a lot of other restaurants). The baked ziti was solid/standard like most baked ziti haha. We look forward to trying more items from Luigi's and were impressed that the freshness of their food shined through on even such a basic order! Enjoy!

Already loved the food here - only place with angel hair pasta as an option, but there was a mistake with Seamless, and they were cool enough to let me keep the food and Seamless was good enough to refund my account. Thanks Luigi's and Seamless for great customer service.

The Chicken Cutlet Parm dinner I ordered was very good. A large portion of chicken cutlet that tender, juicy and very tasty. The salad that came with it was put together very well and had all of the items you would expect in a side salad!

Our goto Seamless pizza joint. Also great heros, and salads. To be honest we've ordered from every category on the menu and haven't been disappointed yet.

Delivery: 10 mins over max range Apple pie: The top was white with layer of frozen ice and parts of the crust was fully soggy with melted water. The pie was flipped over and the crust was in pieces; got pretty badly broken up during delivery. Pasta: Meatball had some black leathery sheet in it and tasted horrible... It definitely wasn't made up of ground beef. It was made up of really tiny pellet-like meat that turned into mush as soon as you chewed on it. tl;dr: late, food broken up in delivery, processed and terrible tasting food.

Placed a late order of grilled chicken which we realized while eating it wasn't fully cooked. Unfortunately we become I'll and one of us had to see a doctor. The next day after addressing this with Luigi's their customer consideration was totally unsatisfactory as I would have thought, at the least, they would have compensated me for a new meal. I recommend thinking twice on both accounts,,,,food and service.

Was so pleasantly to find Luigi's on Seamless... We live in a part of Manhattan that has more Italian Restaurants than Bodegas and Halal Stands combined... You could probably even include Duane Reades... This is one of less than a handful that allow you to choose your favorite pasta type and even fewer that offer "Capellini... aka Angel Hair" with their sauces. Oh... The sauces are great... They let me tweak it according to my taste in general or just for that meal. My wife and I are astonished and thankful to have found Luigi's hiding in a corner here on seamless... To sum up... Since they made my green salad, exactly as I like (lettuce w/peeled cucumber... NOTHING ELSE), I will assume like EVERYTHING else on the menu... They'll make it your way... Also.. Don't skip the Garlic Bread. Lastly... They are FAST!!!

Last night my friends and I were getting ready to go out for NYE and wanted to have a good meal before heading out to a party. We decided to order delivery from our go to local Italian place. When the food arrived, two side orders of pasta were missing. It wasn't a huge deal, everyone makes mistakes, but when I called to inform Luigi's the man that answered the phone was extremely rude. He refused to believe me and then hung up the phone. Seriously?!?? I have nothing better to do then scam a restaurant for pasta? At that point I was livid, I called back and again expressed my dissatisfaction again, he yelled something in Italian and finally about 15 minutes later our pasta was delivered...cold of course... Needless to say Luigi's has now lost a handful of customers.

Had a craving for stuffed shells - for about a month - and found it at Luigi's. Now this isn't a 5 star restaurant, so wasn't expecting much - just a hearty lunch... received 4 large shells - and tasted real good, better than expected honestly. Also ordered garlic bread - expecting a small piece, received a hero and it was good - wasn't a generic spread - tasted like their very own concoction. Oh and the delivery was crazy fast - 15 minutes flat.

I ordered Shrimp Parmigiana. I had to call and ask if they had mistakenly sent me some kind of meat, as the "shrimp" was unrecognizable and had none of the distinctive taste of shrimp. After being screamed at rudely, I hung up. I don't eat meat, and would not have been able to eat this if it were not seafood, so it was important to know. Although I finally decided it was probably shrimp (I decided after asking for a coworker's opinion--she thought it was meat), it was absolutely awful. Tthe sauce tasted as though it had cheap ingredients and a lot of salt, no flavor at all. The rigatoni that came with it had the same awful sauce; it was definitely not traditional marinara. I thought it was supposed to come with a salad, and I had chosen a salad dressing, but apparently the pasta was another choice rather than part of the dish; this was confusing on the menu choices. Given the terrible food and the very rude person on the phone, I will never order from Luigi's again. Definitely don't recommend.

If you like dry pasta, Luigi's is the place for you; however if you want extra sauce, or sauce enough to cover the white pasta, this is not the place for you. I constantly request extra tomato sauce, but never receive it. Tonight I was told that since they sautee the pasta in the sauce, they cannot add extra sauce and will not sautee the pasta in extra sauce. Of course, you can always make your own pasta and stop ordering it from this place

The Slant's Obscure Packer Memories
by japf on Aug.05, 2009, under Commentary
Ok, I'll admit it, I'm old. Not ancient like some Packer fans. I mean I never saw Curly Lambeau play and I never drafted Don Hudson for my fantasy football team, but I am up there in years, nonetheless. I lived through the abyss that we now call the '70's and '80's (and I'm not just talking fashion here). So I thought it would be cool and interesting to throw some of my favorite obscure Packer memories from that time and see if anyone else knows what I'm talking about.
Here are my top 5:
#1: Jesse Clarke invents the bobble head. I will never forget the time the Packers were playing the creamsicle colored Bucs and Jesse Clarke broke open over the middle and had a clear shot for the endzone. He ran so hard that his head bobbed up and down so hard it looked like his head was going to fall off. He did score the touchdown, but had to miss the next two weeks because he gave himself a concussion. OK, that last part isn't true, but I'm old, I'm allowed to exaggerate. It's not like your grandpa really did walk 6 miles to school each day.
#2: Pre-mature Elation. I remember when I was growing up and Dad used to always take us to "second service" at one of the local bars every Sunday. The grown-ups would sit at the bar, the kids would play pinball or that game where you slide the thing down the thing to get close to the edge of the thing. But, when the Packer game started, everyone would focus on that. The one play that I remember watching from "second service" was when Dave Hampton broke free on a kick return for a TD, but in his joy, he spiked the ball at the 2 or 3 yard line. My fading memory tells me, the Packers still got the TD, but the memory of the reaction of everyone at the bar has not faded.

Samsung Instinct Becomes Sprint's Fastest-Selling EVDO Handset
Quick Reply
Sprint had a release today announcing that the Samsung Instinct for Sprint is the fastest-selling EVDO phone in Sprint's history. Perhaps it's too soon, they didn't release any actual number of units sold. We will keep our eyes open for that. Here is our review of the Samsung Instinct for Sprint:
Here is Sprint's press release:
Just a few days after hitting store shelves, Samsung Instinct has become the fastest-selling EVDO handset in Sprint history. Instinct was first available exclusively to current Sprint customers on June 19 breaking records for the initial launch of any Sprint product. Instinct became available to all customers on June 20; sales continued to be brisk with Instinct breaking Sprint's record for the first week of sales for any device.
"We had high expectations going into the launch so our initial order to Samsung was the largest for any Sprint EVDO handset to date," said John Garcia, President of Sprint's Wireless Division. "The strong early response tells us that wireless customers recognize Instinct as a highly-innovative and convenient touch-screen device combined with the fast speeds available on the largest national mobile broadband network. In the first few days of availability, many Instinct devices were purchased by existing customers upgrading their wireless device - we thank our customers for their endorsement of this device, our Simply Everything pricing plan and our company."
The record pace of Instinct sales has led to temporary shortages of the device at some locations across the United States. Sprint and Samsung are diligently working around the clock to increase inventory in all sales channels. Samsung has increased efforts to deliver new supplies of Instinct on a daily basis and manufacturing plants are operating at full capacity to keep up with the demand.
"The overwhelming success of the Samsung Instinct reinforces our expectations; people want choices when looking to buy a powerful touch screen phone and the Samsung Instinct is a top contender," said Bill Ogle, Chief Marketing Officer for Samsung Mobile. "Samsung is working around the clock to meet the consumer demand for this fast and easy-to-use device."
"We know we have a winner in Instinct, especially since Sprint's EVDO Rev A network offers five times more mobile broadband coverage than the AT&T 3G network based on square miles," added Garcia. "We appreciate the support from our customers and we are committed to working with Samsung to ensure that every customer who wants an Instinct can get one."
Sprint customers have joined in the praise:
-- "It's awesome. I have been a Sprint customer for six years.
This device offers every single Sprint feature down to the
smallest and jam-packs them all into one device. It is just an
amazing device." - William Leak, Millville, NJ
-- "Instinct offers easy access to everything I need when I'm
traveling or at work... even my music! It's everything I want
in a phone and more." - Stanley Long, Philadelphia, PA
-- "I purchased it because it's the hottest phone out there and I
love the huge screen." - Stephan Boyett, West Orange, NJ
-- "I was out of contract and stayed with Sprint because of this
phone! Also your everything plan includes everything, not like
AT&T." - Daphne Wilson, White Plains, NY
-- "I was blown away the first time I saw the device. The more I
play with the device, the more I love it." - Jennifer Hayes,
Edison, NJ
Initial indications show extremely heavy use of the device for email access, web browsing and GPS navigation with Live Search for Sprint providing access to directory information on-the-go, interactive maps and one-touch click to call access. Instinct also offers the ability to quickly share pictures, watch live TV, listen to commercial-free radio and more as Sprint's first EVDO Rev A consumer device.
Instinct boasts many advanced features including Visual Voicemail, allowing users to listen to messages in their order of preference and manage them with a simple tap of the screen. Additional features include advanced stereo Bluetooth 2.0, SMS voice and text messaging with threaded text, picture caller ID, a 2.0 megapixel camera with camcorder, haptic feedback, expandable microSD memory of up to 8GB and Sprint Mobile Sync.
Instinct costs just $129.99 with a two-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate. Customers can access the latest information on Instinct at

Twitter Earnings Live Blog
San Francisco-based Twitter earned 2 cents a share on $242.7 million in revenue during the quarter, as advertising revenue surged 121% year over year to $220 million. Data licensing rose 80% year over year to $23 million.
The company noted that mobile advertising revenue was more than 75% of total advertising revenue.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for Twitter to lose 2 cents a share in the fourth quarter on $217.8 million in sales.
"Twitter finished a great year with our strongest financial quarter to date," said Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter, in a statement. "We are the only platform that is public, real-time, conversational and widely distributed and I'm excited by the number of initiatives we have underway to further build upon the Twitter experience."
The company ended the December quarter with 241 million monthly active users (MAUs), up 30% year over year, with the majority, 184 million, via mobile. The company noted that it reached 148 billion timeline views, a year-over-year increase of 26%, as advertising revenue per thousand timeline views reached $1.49 in the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 76% year over year.
The 241 million users was up just 9 million from the prior quarter, not a terribly strong growth rate.
The company also gave guidance for the first-quarter and fiscal 2014. For the first-quarter, it expects revenue to be in the range of $230 million to $240 million, with Adjusted EBITDA between $10 million and $16 million.
For the full year, Twitter expects revenue to be between $1.15 billion and $1.2 billion, with adjusted EBITDA between $150 million and $180 million.
