Hamilton, 36, was shot and killed shortly after midnight Dec. 3 at the Kangaroo Pantry in Childersburg. He was airlifted to University Hospital in Birmingham, where he was pronounced dead.
Childersburg Police Chief Shane Burnette said the police officer involved in the incident is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation into the shooting.
The night of Dec.7, before Hamilton's funeral the next day, several family members and friends met at the recreational area in the Pleasant Valley subdivision behind Kangaroo Pantry and marched to the service station for a candle light vigil and prayer.
Johnson, a Childersburg resident, said the purpose of the march was "due to the fact that Childersburg police had taken another life, and there was no justice on his cousin's life, this is one that we are not giving up on."
Johnson said Hamilton's first cousin, Tony Edward Martin Jr., was shot Oct. 12, 2008, by a Childersburg police officer, who was not indicted by a Talladega County grand jury.
"There's got to be a stopping point," Johnson said. "Childersburg police, not only them but all police officers, are to protect and serve, and if you can't get that from police officers, then where can you get it?"
Referring to Hamilton's death, Johnson said. "They (police officers) was suppose to have proper training to handle situations like that. If he thought there was a weapon, that is understandable — you do what you have to do, but he never had a weapon as of this day.
"He was pepper sprayed and couldn't see. It is my understanding he took his T-shirt to wipe his eyes. I can't understand how he could be physical with the officer," Johnson said.
Hamilton is survived by a son, 18, who lives in Massachusetts, and a daughter, 9, who lives in Shelby County.
"He was a hard worker," Hamilton's mother said. Johnson said Hamilton worked for S & H Steel in Vincent.
"He kept a job, was independent, clean-cut, had a nice personality, and loving," Johnson said. "I will not label him as perfect, but he was not a bad person. He was brought up to be respectful."
Mary Hamilton said she spoke with her son every day, some days calling several times.
She said she isn't coping with the situation very well.
"I'm not coping," she said. "It is so odd, so very odd."
"That could have been anybody's child, and if it was someone else's child, they would feel the same way, you have to have justice," Johnson said. "God is too wise to make a mistake and too just to be wrong.
"I don't want to see another child lost to someone that is supposed to protect us. This is the kind of thing people who have no purpose (do)."
In a press release, Kangaroo Corporate Office's public relations spokesman Steve Yates said the corporation is fully cooperating with the police investigation and store employees were not involved in the shooting, which occurred outside the store.
Sgt. Steve Jarrett, public information officer for the Alabama Department of Public Safety, released a statement saying the case is still open. "Once the ABI takes a case of this nature, it will typically be turned over to the district attorney within 60 days. Details of these cases are not released except to the D.A."
Talladega County Assistant District Attorney Christina Kilgore said once the District Attorney's Office receives the report it will be reviewed and then determined whether the case will be handled by the local department or turned over to the state Attorney General's Office.
Burnette said all evidence and information regarding the case has been turned over to the Alabama Bureau of Investigations and his department is fully cooperating in their investigation.
"We are not allowed to discuss the case because we are not the one handling it," Burnette said.
Mary Hamilton, a Massachusetts resident, said her immediate plans are to remain in Childersburg for a while.
"I will stay until justice is done," she said.

When Eberhard Arnold gave a talk to members of his community on the occasion of his 50th birthday on July 26, 1933, he didn't dwell on his accomplishments. Instead, he marveled at how God works in our lives even though we often stand in his way.
On this day I have been especially conscious of my lack of ability, of how unsuited my own nature is to the work I have been given. I have remembered how God called me when I was only sixteen, and how I have stood in his way - with the result that so much of what he wanted to do has been left unfinished. It remains a miracle nevertheless that his work has been revealed and testified to in us feeble human beings - not through our merits, but because we have been accepted again and again through the grace of Jesus and his forgiveness of sins.
I have had to think of Hermas, that early Christian writer who describes the building of the great temple how he refers to the many stones that must be thrown away. The masons try to use them, but if they do not fit, even after their corners have been chiseled down, then they must be thrown away - as far away as possible. And even the stones that are used must first be chiseled very sharply before they can be set into the wall...
What concerns me most of all is the powerlessness of man, even of the man who has been entrusted with some task. Only God is mighty; we are completely powerless. Even for the work that has been given us, we are wholly without power. We cannot fit a single stone into the church community. We can provide no protection whatsoever for the community when it has been built up. We cannot even devote anything to the cause by our own power. We are completely without power. But just this is why God has called us: because we know we are powerless.
It is hard to describe how our own power must be stripped off us, how our own power must be dropped, dismantled, torn down, and put away. But it must happen, and it will not happen easily - nor through any single heroic decision. Rather, it must be done in us by God.
This is the root of grace: the dismantling of our own power. Only to the degree that our own power is dismantled will God give us his Spirit. If a little power of our own rises up amongst us, the Spirit and authority of God retreats in the same moment and to the corresponding degree. This is the single most important insight regarding the kingdom of God...
The Holy Spirit produces effects that are deadly for the old life and that at the same time have a wakening and rousing power for the new. So let us use this day to give glory to God. Let us pledge to him the dismantling of our own power. Let us declare our dependence upon grace.
Excerpted from Eberhard Arnold: Writings Selected.

When Eberhard talks about the dismantling of our own power, is he referring to our ego? I am struggling with the word power and powerlessness in his remarks....

"For Ai Weiwei the act of individuals voicing opinions and communicating with one another is of great importance. From October 2010 to May 2011, visitors to his piece Sunflower Seeds, currently on show in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern, can record a video; either asking him their question or answering one from him. So far, over 11,500 questions have been asked. This film features a select few. Sunflower Seeds is made up of millions of small pieces, each apparently identical, but actually unique. However realistic they may seem, these life-sized sunflower seed husks are in fact intricately hand-crafted in porcelain." – Tate.

Notice to Freestanding Emergency Medical Care Facilities Regarding New 2-Year License Cycle
The Freestanding Emergency Medical Care Facility Act was first enacted in 2009 by the 81st Legislature. A freestanding emergency medical care facility is a facility that is structurally separate and distinct from a hospital and which receives an individual and provides emergency care. Emergency care is defined as health care services provided in a freestanding emergency medical care facility to evaluate and stabilize a medical condition of a recent onset and severity, including severe pain, psychiatric disturbances, or symptoms of substance abuse, that would lead a prudent layperson possessing an average knowledge of medicine and health to believe that the person's condition, sickness, or injury is of such a nature that failure to get immediate medical care could result in: placing the person's health in serious jeopardy; serious impairment to bodily functions; serious dysfunction of a bodily organ or part; serious disfigurement; or in the case of a pregnant woman, serious jeopardy to the health of the woman or fetus.
The Freestanding Emergency Medical Care Facility Licensing Rules became effective June 1, 2010. The licensing rules provide procedures for obtaining a freestanding emergency medical care facility license; minimum standards for freestanding emergency medical care facility functions and services; patient rights standards; discrimination or retaliation standards; patient transfer and other policy and protocol requirements; reporting, posting and training requirements relating to abuse and neglect; standards for voluntary agreements; inspection and investigation procedures; enforcement standards; fire prevention and protection requirements; general safety standards; physical plant and construction requirements; and standards for the preparation, submittal, review and approval of construction documents.
The Architectural Review Group is responsible for conducting plan reviews and construction inspections of new and existing freestanding emergency medical care facilities.
The staff of the Facility Licensing Group is responsible for licensing freestanding emergency medical care facilities. To become licensed, please refer to the Freestanding Emergency Medical Care Facility License Application.

Living In God's Exquisite, Miraculous Sufficiency 2014 is My Year to FLOURISH! Thank you, Heavenly Papa!
I have dreamed for a long time of providing for my dad, being there for him financially, though, I think he'll do fine. He's worked so hard and sacrificed so much for me, that I hope one day when I am making oodles of money, that I can do a lot for my dad financially that he can live in luxury rather than continue to scrimp as he has done his whole life.
As my kids and I drove to church today, we dreamed of the house we would buy him on a big plot of land where he can grow things to his heart's content, but that he would still be close enough to his family.
We would live not too far from my dad, as he's getting up in years. However, he is strong and does so much that even people half his age don't even do. I'd really love to go with my dad and my kids, and anyone else who wanted to come, to tour China and other parts of Asia for a bit.
I've really got to get going on the trading.

An Egg Sandwich - But Not As We Know It, Jim
Jam & Cream PR has been strutting her stuff again and thanks to her efforts, I was recently sent this rather cute 100g Praline Toasty egg sandwich from Hotel Chocolat. This is not the usual sort of thing I have for breakfast, but is more than acceptable later in the day. Needless to say, this egg sandwich was not your traditional fried egg with a bit of tomato sauce slapped between two slices of bread, no, it was two slabs of chocolate sandwiched between a praline chocolate egg - a fun and novel concept.
Name our bouncing Easter baby.

You were lucky then Janice - I only got this egg.ReplyDelete

Oh yes, very lucky then. I had a big egg to review last month and did a giveway, and the little 'egg & soldiers' this month for the Bouncing Baby promo. I have stashed most of that.ReplyDelete
Linking the image, I did that myself, by highlighting the image then goign to the 'link' icon, then you get a pop up box which I linked to the FB page with the competition. Hope that makes sense, I'm better at showing people than explaining!
I had already chosen and informed boyfriend of the egg i wanted (cheeky I know) But now ive changed my mind! want!ReplyDelete
Now that is something definitely different and SO worth a try! What a great time of year, eh? This is downright brilliant.ReplyDelete

Yes, President Obama said that if we like our health insurance, we can keep it. Yes, that turned out to be false for a few million people. Yes, the President chose his words poorly.

She'd just poured me a cup of tea from her Japanese teapot shaped like a little pumpkin; beyond the kitchen window, two cardinals splashed in her birdbath in the weak Connecticut sunlight. Her white hair was gathered at the nape of her neck, and her voice was low.

Discover Ministry Briefing! --> The Best Way To Keep "In The Know"!
Christopher Keating is a PCUSA pastor who wrote this piece for a St. Louis newspaper. He writes about the most common things people tell him as a pastor. Take a look at the list and see if this rings true in your ministry:
I'm wondering… for those of you who have been in the ministry 10+ years… are these the questions people are asking now the most?
And how does this differ from the questions people were asking most 10 or 20 years ago?
What's your insight?
// Read more: http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/faith-and-values/civil-religion/christopher-keating/stuff-people-say-to-pastors/article_21211226-4878-11e1-afc3-0019bb30f31a.html#ixzz1kfJh8dIl
#1 question I heard 10 years ago, "Where's the bathroom?"
#2 question, "Are you Greg?"
I have been in ministry 20 years now and have had a few of these brought up over that time. "I don't know how to pray" has come in different forms. Sometimes related to personal prayer and other times related to public prayer. "I'm gay" hasn't come from within the Body but has been from people seeking a church body in which to belong. They weren't seeking Scriptural understanding but someone to accept homosexuality (or LGBT) as a God-accepted way of life. "I've been thinking about going back to church" has been a response to seeing me in an unexpected place and so they use those words to deflect any guilt they feel. (I get a chuckle from this 'cause I'm not their judge. It's just funny how hard they work to convince me they know they value of being connected they just haven't followed through on it.) Most conversations I've had about death have come with this question, "Why isn't God taking me? I'm ready to go. I just don't understand why God won't let me die." I found it interesting that the question about why God lets bad things happen wasn't included in his list. That's one Christians and non-Christians alike have asked about.
The two most recent questions I have faced in ministry are:
#1 I am scared to engage people in a Gospel conversation because I may not know what to say. (ok more of a statement than a question)
I even offered a personal discipleship course on sharing your faith in your words, and only one taker from several that indicated they were interested.
#2 Why is THAT church growing while we aren't?
Our focus is on them not us. That, more than anything, is why we aren't growing.
Just some additions.
Why don't we sing more hymns?
Why don't we sing more contemporary music?

An article stating that a woman in New Mexico was arrested after calling her former boyfriend 77,639 times in one week has turned out to be a hoax.
The fake story posted on World News Daily Report, a satirical website, claimed that Linda Murphy also sent 1,937 emails, 41,229 text messages, 217 sung messages, and 647 letters in the same seven-day period.
The bogus report read: 'Linda Murphy, who has an history of obsessive compulsive behavior, would have badly taken her breakup with William Ryans, with whom she had had a relationship for three weeks. She is accused of using up to three phones at once to call him, 24 hours a day, on his cell phone, home number and at work. The woman would have ingested large quantities of energy drinks and amphetamines to remain awake and would have gone sleepless for a week, calling her ex nonstop.
"'My client is profoundly relieved that Ms. Murphy is finally behind bars,' stated the plaintiff's lawyer, J.D. James Kilroy. 'He hasn't been able to sleep, work or enjoy life in any way, for more than a week. He was having a hard time thinking clearly and was nearing depression, it was about time the harassment ceased. Now all we want is for Ms. Murphy to get the medical help she needs, and for the law to keep her away from my client.'
As the story went viral, many Twitter users expressed their opinion of the situation.

Few media outlets picked up the story without confirming the validity of the content.
However, the story has no truth to it and the woman in the mug shot is an Oklahoma City woman named Cierra Reed.
Reed, who was arrested back in 2009 after she crawled into a McDonalds drive-through window, took to her Facebook account to clear the rumours.

|Home Developer Manual 2. Advanced Templating Administrator Templates
|Administrator Templates
At this time the model for Administrator Templates is
still being formed. It is intended that both the Site and
Administrator templating systems will merge into
a common API in a future version. However, some notes are
provided here for reference.
Module Support
You may include modules in your Administrator templates directly with mosLoadAdminModule or in groups, like for the site templates, with mosLoadAdminModules. For example:
The mosLoadAdminModule function takes one argument, the name of the module less the "mod_" prefix. The first cell of the example table loads the Full Menu module (that is, mod_fullmenu).
In the second table cell, all the modules assigned to the "header" position are loaded. The second argument is a style setting:
Formatting for the "header" modules is done completely via CSS. For example, the "wrapper1" style is defined as:
The modules are enclosed in plain
 tags. To display modules in a column you may add a width attribute and change the display attribute appropriately.
The following modules are available with the Joomla distribution.
The Control Panel
The Control Panel for the Administrator is a separate file, cpanel.php, that is included with the template. It is a separate file to allow for customisation of this area as different sites and users are likely to have different needs for this valuable piece of screen real estate.
The Control Panel file does not need to be included but if it is included it will simply display any Administrator Modules published in the "cpanel" position.
The cpanel.php file could be as simple as the following example:
<?php /** * @version $ Id: cpanel.php,v 1.3 2004/08/12 08:29:21 rcastley Exp $ * @package Joomla * @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 Open Source Matters. All rights reserved. * @license http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU/GPL, see LICENSE.php * Joomla! is free software and parts of it may contain or be derived from the * GNU General Public License or other free or open source software licenses. * See COPYRIGHT.php for copyright notices and details. */ /** ensure this file is being included by a parent file */ defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' ); ?>

  <?php mosLoadAdminModules( 'cpanel', 1 ); ?>

Sean Lennon and Yoko Ono have released a new music video for their mother-son duet titled, Don't Frack My Mother. The music video premiered on Artists Against Fracking's website, to raise awareness on the organization's campaign for anti-fracking in the state of New York.
No, this is not referring to the popular curse word used as an alternative to the f-word on the sci-fi hit, Battlestar Galactica. Fracking (short for hydraulic fracturing) is a method of extracting gas and oil from rocks deep underground to obtain natural gas. This is a major risk since the process injects dangerous chemicals that contaminate the water.
Over thirty famous names make cameo appearances in the video, including Joseph-Gordon Levitt, Liv Tyler, Penn Badgley, Susan Sarandon, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Fred Armisen, and Zoe Kravitz. The video is basically a compilation of stars lip syncing along to the song in webcam-quality clips, with hydraulic fracturing statistics in between.
This music video is just Artists Against Fracking's latest attempt in trying to convince New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to prevent gas companies from fracking in the state. Previous attempts have included advertisements and petitions.
Cuomo has yet to make the decision of whether or not to approve hydraulic fracturing in New York. The method of fracking is already banned in the states of Vermont and New Jersey. A law on maintaining safe drinking water for the public, known as the Safe Drinking Water Act exists in the U.S., but it does not include fracking.
With the vast amount of celebrity cameos and the power of social media, this video will have no problem raising awareness towards the issue.
What are your thoughts on this music video below? Do celebrities really have an important influence on causes? Let us know in the comments!

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 329 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Demo1 Pool and gym hours We were disappointed with the pool and gym being closed during our stay. We did not know that the pool was going to be closed for holidays. That was one of the main reasons we wanted to get a room for Xmas eve. To be able to relax and enjoy swimming in and by the pool. Other than that and the gym also be inh closed , we enjoyed our stay and the hotel pub and resteraunt Tipperys. December 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sarah81 What sets this hotel at the top of my list is the service. The hotel itself is nice enough - newly renovated, comfortable beds, nice workout area. But this hotel has something very special that no other hotel in the area has - the best customer service. I stayed at this hotel originally because my previous favorite hotel was booked. I have been coming back ever since - even though it's a longer commute to my worksite - because of the way the pesonnel treat their guests. Derick at the front desk has never had a issue that he couldn't resolve. Mary in the club lounge is thoughtful and caring (I didn't make it breakfast one day because I was not feeling weland she sent ginger ale with a coworker for me). Even the housekeeping staff is on the top of their game - one stopped vaccuuming so she could find a plastic bag for my coworker who tried to carry more than she could. The people at Sheraton Parsippany make this hotel feel almost like coming home. See you all very soon! October 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vocalist1 This hotel has great features and service My organization had over 400 attendees. We used the Grand Ballroom and conference rooms for our event. Between events in the ballroom, the staff set up the ballroom for our dinner, and brunch next day. The transition was seamless. Dinner and brunch was buffet style, three food tables, two lines each, so all attendees were served quickly. All hotel staff were polite. September 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kevin57 Poor wait staff in Bar. On saterdaynight around 6-6:30 PM. We were in the bar and sat there for 20 minutes and know one would come and take our order. There were people at the Bar getting service, but they would not even look at us sitting at a table. We even tried to flag them down and they (girl) just kept on walking. Very disapointing. we left and went somewhere else to eat and drink. January 28, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by xyz234 Five Dollar Credit Housekeeping I was very disappointed that when I chose to participate in the green energy program by foregoing new towels and sheets for one night that housekeeping did not even make up my bed with the used sheets and take out the trash. A $5 credit is not enough to compensate for all the money that the hotel is saving on housekeeping by not providing any service to my room. August 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by MikeNKatie Wonderful hotel, dog friendly with park! We ALWAYS stay at this hotel because they staff is so attentive, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and it's dog friendly. We love to go for walks with our field spaniel in the park behind the hotel. She loves the proliferation of squirrels and bunny rabbits. I also love the free parking and convenient location right off the Interstates. See you next month! November 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by BusinessTraveler97 Needs Improvement Areas needed for improvement: (1) my room was not available at check-in time when I was told that it was "guaranteed" to be ready by 3:00 p.m ., where I waited 4 hours for the room at the hotel instead of being immediately switched to another room due to poor communication by the staff, who seemed more inclined to shut down my expressions of frustrations rather than admitting clear errors made; (2) room service desesert - some fruit had mold on it; (3) ordered breakfast that took 1.75 hours for delivery (where the food was probably made shortly after I placed my order as the food was cold and potatoes were old and chewy when they arrived); and (4) terrible work chairs - not ergonomically supportive. Moldy dessert and delayed breakfast delivery were comped but those types of miss steps should not happen at all. I may return because of the convenient of the location of the hotel. That is the only reason I recommend this hotel. January 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TMarie The room was large and comfortable The hotel was quiet, the room was large and the bed was comfortable July 24, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by j91212 Conference Attendee Stayed while attending a Trade Show in NYC. It was convenient, great service and loved it so much that we want to hold a business meeting here next year, and possibly for many years to come! There was a wedding in the building that was very well managed, not a bother to the other guests and it was also the perfect place for my son's high school prom! May 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by daddy1111 looks great after major renovation my son loves this hotel for overnight week-end "camp outs" since it looks like a castle from the road. We had not been there in several years and last time we were there the hotel was "tired" to be nice about it. it has had essentially a gut reno and was terrific including a huge new gym. Club floor is beautiful and lounge now open on week-ends. April 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jill16 GREAT STAFF This was the best hotel. Everyone was so accommodating to my family ,we have a child with autism and its very hard for him to stay at new places.He was so comfortable and happy.The staff was amazing when it came to all of his special needs.All hotels should be like this one! We had a wonderful time.Thank-you for everything. The Bischoff Family. December 5, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by chadb Business Trip Outstanding stay with Sheraton Parsippany while there on business last week. I would recommend this hotel for leisure as well. Great facility and amenaties. Close enough to EWR yet far enough to feel like your'e secluded in the forrest. June 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CJones1932 Good hotel-Room Service needs help This was a beautiful hotel and the staff was awesome. Only issues were 1)the room svc food delivered to me was cold, 2) the heater is too loud turning off and on! Literally wakes you up out of your sleep and scared me when I was awake. 3) The main door outside the room was very loud when slamming shut so I was awaken from my sleep from that. January 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SPG1 Close to New York City Hotel has recently been renovated and looks good. The location is great - less than a half-hour to downtown New York. An added benefit is the free parking. The one not-so-positive is the number of weddings and other gatherings on the weekend making the lobby and elevators very crowded. May 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Annie27 Room Service This hotel has great features. I like the rooms and the lobby. The front desk staff are cordial and nice. But the maid service is not that great. Some of the maids are very rude and I was bothered by the fact that when one of the maids was making up my beds, she threw the comforter on the floor in order to put the sheets on the bed. November 28, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by DMP54 Unsatisfactory My wife and I lost almost two hours of sleep because the staff at this hotel could not control the noise level from a college party function. We called the front desk twice at two thirty in the morning before the noise/music level subsided. I had specifically asked to be in a room away from the noise. May 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lauren9 Booking issues I was incorrectly charged for an extra night which they said they their fault, however I still have to wait 7-14 business days to get the room fee returned and the $50.00 they charged my card for incidentals. Totally unacceptable in my mind that they couldn't refund my account then and there, especially since it was their error. May 14, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by arnt2 Hotel room has issues Bath tub filled up with water when person next door was taking a shower. One light in bathroom was out and there was something that looked liked toothpaste all over the front of the vanity. Advised guest services of same. Sent someone up on tub but did not clean the toothpaste off nor did they replace the light in the bathroom. July 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sophie175 Excellent Staff I have stayed at this hotel many times and I have always been impressed with the service that I have encountered. Michael and Erin are the best. The atmosphere makes you want to keep coming back. From the entrance to the lake everything is beautiful. If you are looking for a calm and refreshing place to stay this is the place. March 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bevo4 LOVE THIS PLACE! Our first stay and we were extremely pleased with most everything. We will stay here from now on instead of the "other hotel" we used to stay at when we visit family in the area every other month. They are extremely doggy friendly and aren't looking to "rip you off" because you are traveling with your "best furry friend"! March 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stelmark Great stay! Spent 2 nights at Christmastime and everything was super. Except for the in-room internet which was dreadfully slow, wired and wireless. But hey, let's not quibble. Room was big and comfy. Club lounge hit the spot and the restaurant couldn't have been better. Looking forward to staying here again, next time through. December 27, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by MarceloH Disappointed Let's start with the positives: - front desk clerks Justin and Carol were very attentive and caring - fantastic gym facilities Now... - VERY slow service in the Tipperary Pub (did I say VERY?) - sketchy water pressure and temperature in my rooms (I stayed for two weeks, with an off day in between, so two rooms) September 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Poohheart Great Service Great Hotel Staff with full service mind. The only thing that have to improve for me is to have transportation shuttle service for people who stay in hotel to go to mall in radius of 10 Miles instead of 5 miles, this will be really make customer feel better. Other than that all services and room are great. December 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dania28 This hotel has great accomodations This was our second time staying at this hotel and this time was better then the first time. We had the New Years package and it was great. We enjoyed the toast at midnight, the breakfast was great and the check out at 4pm was the best. We had a great time and rested which was what we needed. Thank you!!! January 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by 500NightsLifetime Refreshing stay Could not stay at my regular SPG property so came back to this hotel (my usual overflow stop). Nice to be back here...great tuck shop, pleasant front desk staff, correct time on clock radio, and plugs available for phone and computer...the simple things that others just don't understand. Thank you. February 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Frog Excellent but... The room was next to the stairwell. There were many children in the hotel during my stay. It was a game I guess to go up and down the stairs. The door to the stairwell opened and closed constantly and was quite noisy. But, I guess I was a kid once and the price was extremely good. I did not complain. December 6, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Daveflstc07 This place has potential This could be a great hotel. Has a great fitness center. The lounge for drinks was nice. I was very disappointed at breakfast. Maybe due to the outrageous price of the buffet and lack of attention from the waitress. I felt bad leaving a dollar tip because I realize now that I left 99 cents too much. November 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tomcar1961 Tomcar I came to the Parsippany Sheraton for a wedding. It was a pleasure to stay at this hotel,all the staff was very nice and helpful. The hotel was very clean and well kept. Upon check out I had a misunderstanding with my AAA and Pratika at the front desk went out of her way to help my family and I. June 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Antonio Location & health club make this a great stay We overnighted enroute to Newark Airport. Starwood recognition was not great as the property was SRO. The lounge, on the other hand, is fantastic c/w two large flat screen computers. The other highlight of our stay was the Atlantis health club c/w 2 rooms of Nautilus equipment and a decent pool.

HELP: Enabled SSL on Site, Broke site
Using ISPCONFIG 184.108.40.206
I went a head and enabled SSL on one specific site, I ended up getting 500 Internal Errors so i decided to revert back and disable SSL.
I'm still getting the Internal 500 Errors though!
I removed all Certs. in the ssl directory for that site but still not working.
I removed the Cert. via ISPCONFIG in the options for the specific site but no luck.
What am I missing here??
I verified the *.vhost for the specific site and nothing appears to have changed here.
Here is the Error I'm getting the in the error.log:
What else do I have to do to get my site backup??
So I fixed the Internal 500 Errors but now sh404SEF (Joomla Component) no longer works.
The .htaccess file has not been modified so I can't figure out why sh404SEF no longer works.
Question: When enabling SSL for a site in ISPCONFIG 3, does it modify any Apache2 files?
I tried a number of different ways but I can't get it to work.
Has anyone else experienced issues with sh404SEF when SSL is enabled for a site?
Alright, Issue is solved.
I edited the *.vhost for the specific site and commented out line for both directory paths:
#AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit
After that the .htaccess now works again.
Do not edit .vhost files manually, ISPConfig will remove all your changes. If you want to set different AllowOverride Options, you can do that in the apache directives field of the website.
Also what you did above is a big security problem if your server is used as hosting server for more then one customer. Commenting out the line means that your customers can now work around every limit you have set them by uploading an .htaccess file.
Thanks Till,
Your right, I took a look at the specific *.vhost file and the two lines I commented out are un-commented again.
And the site no longer works, 500 Errors again.
So in the ISPCONFIG control panel, under the 'Apache directives' for the specific site, would I simply add:
I tried adding the above it didn't work.
I then tried adding:
I tried:
What am I suppse to add to get this working?
Post the error message that you get in the error log of the website as you have to address this specific problem of apache.
It is the same error as I was getting from my original post:
This is what I commented out in the vhost file:
So are there any other ways to allow .htaccess within the web directories without having to Comment-out:
Is there anyone else experiencing this issue?

From the Ohio Department of Natural Resources
-- Young hunters aged 17 and under harvested 9,024 deer during the special two-day season Nov. 20 and 21, as compared to 9,331 last year. It was the state's seventh annual Youth Deer-Gun season.
Counties reporting the greatest number of deer killed were Tuscarawa-434, Knox-416, Holmes-337, Washington-272, Licking-267, Guernsey and Harrison-265, Belmont-222 and Ashland and Coshocton-196.
The Division of Wildlife estimated 40,000 young hunters took to the state's fields and forests during the two-day season, which provides a high-quality hunting experience for younger hunters.
The youth deer-gun season was open in all 88 counties. All participants were required to wear hunter orange, possess a valid Ohio hunting license and special deer permit, and be accompanied by a non-hunting adult.
The youth deer-gun season is one of four special youth-only hunting seasons designed to offer a safe and excellent early hunting experience for young hunters. Special days are also set aside for upland game, wild turkey and waterfowl hunting opportunities.
Youngsters and all other hunters will have a chance at taking a whitetail during next week's statewide deer-gun season, which runs Nov. 29 to Dec. 5.
Details on youth hunting opportunities and all Ohio deer hunting seasons can be found in the 2010-2011 Ohio Hunting Regulations, available where licenses are sold. It can also be viewed online at http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/tabid/4414/Default.aspx.

We've Got to E-lim-in-ate the Obstacles
Jan Chait
July 6, 2010
Are the folks who came up with the blueprints for so-called "accessible" spaces now designing packaging for containers of fast-acting sugar used to treat hypoglycemia?
A few mornings ago, I had need of such a quick hit and decided to try out a bottle of glucose drink. (That's what it's called. Try Wal-Mart. Surprisingly, it doesn't suck.) I'd bought a bottle, but hadn't gotten around to using it yet. I almost didn't that morning.
First of all, I couldn't unscrew the lid. My hands aren't all that strong, but they're not that weak, either. Turns out there was this plastic outer wrap all over the bottle, including over the lid. When I finally figured that out and managed to get the plastic off of the lid, it unscrewed quite easily.
That's when I found that the opening to the bottle had one of those plastic and foil kind of covers with the half-circle you lift up and use to remove the barrier to get to the drink itself.
Great. Just when you have the brainpower of a slug and the manual dexterity of a rock, you're forced to work for your sugar fix.
Why is that, I wondered…but didn't come up with any answers. Oh, sure, some idiot back in the 1980s decided to put poison in a pain killer, which led the industry to come up with packaging to thwart the no-goodniks and their ilk. But can't they come up with something we can actually open without first having to get an advanced degree in packaging technology?
I'll have to ponder that in much the same way as I often mull over why accessible bathroom stalls are always at the far end of the row. Or why public bathrooms without a door, but with a short hallway and a couple of turns between the public area of the building and the bathroom are too narrow for a scooter — or a large wheelchair — to maneuver. Even in hospitals. Or why bathroom doors can't swing in and out so you can actually get…well, in and out.
There's a restaurant in town that has an accessible stall in the ladies' room — but you can't get into the bathroom. On the other hand, you can enter the ladies' room in the building where my grandson's oral surgeon's office is located — but you can't get back out. (I have to have my husband wait outside the door to let me out when I'm finished. Hopefully, other women who have to "go" don't think he's a masher.)
What if, instead of coming in tiny little plastic bottles, glucose drinks came in tiny little aluminum cans with eensy-weensy bottle openers? How about containers with built-in glucose meters? The lower your blood glucose gets, the easier it is to remove the cap. Somewhere in the 50s, it opens itself. Any lower, and it also pours itself into your mouth.
At the other end of the spectrum — this is when you're hyperglycemic and really need a bathroom…often — I haven't a clue. There is no way an accessible stall will automagically appear in the first space instead of the last. The best you could hope for is an accessible stall that a scooter or wheelchair will actually fit inside of. That is, if you can get into the bathroom in the first place.
You'd be surprised how many places have an "accessible" stall with a wide door…and that's it. Oh, it has the requisite bar inside to hold onto, but no room to park inside. So you park your mobility vehicle of choice outside and hobble in, hanging onto the door, the tops of the dividers, toilet paper dispensers and anything else that comes in handy. No, no. Not the toilet tissue dispenser: It's usually under the bar, where you have to somehow hang upside-down to get any tissue out.
Unopenable containers with contents to be used in an emergency. Inaccessible accessible spaces. Anybody got a solution? No matter how wild? If anybody comes up with something really viable…I get a finder's fee.
That was hilarious, I know it's a serious subject but having a sense of humor too is vital. Thanks for making me laugh today.

I'm a male and I can identify with everything you said in your great article. Add to that list, electric hand dryers that rarely do the job - unless you find one of that breed that leave you with third degree burns. Maybe you don't have those in America. As for a solution, apart from getting rid of all uni-trained architects and using an older builder I can't think of anything that would be politically correct. I find it embarrassing to ask the girl behind the counter to open the bottle of drink.

I agree; inaccessible design both architectural & product design make me fume, especially inaccessible plastic wraps! Where are the universal design industrial designers, architects & other design specialists? As the population ages, I bet the vendors who are going to prosper are the folks who sell adaptive equipment--for everything from silverware to pens to.... or meters, meter supplies......

Jan - for a quick fix when hypoglycemia hits us is SUGAR CUBES. These little darlings were used back in the "dark ages" of diabetes AND still work well and quick!! They are easy to carry as we usually need only 3 to 5 cubes at one time. They dissolve quickly AND they do not have the harmful ingredients that some commercial products have! They also satisfy the "sweet tooth" we often have a graving for when dealing with hypoglycemia. Each sugar cube is 5 grams of carbs and 3 of them will lift most of us up to clear thinking levels very quickly so we can care for ourselves. On accessible toilets! Well, you should live out West. We have mostly great space for wheel chairs or scooters in public areas; at least where I travel up and down the West coast and inland 200 miles or so. There are also hand bars to hold on to, and toilet seat covers available at a low level including a sink (only some locations have low sinks). My suggestion for accessibility is contact your state government and tell them to "get with it". In this financial down period there may be a wait for $$ to show up again. But THEY need to know regardless.

Or why when you need to have an a parking place for the disabled it is always the farthest parking place from the entrance of the building and not only that it is right on one of those speed bumps so you have to straddle the bump to park your car. Then to top it off, there are only one set of diagonal stripes on one side of the parking space so if you have a van with a lift you hope the stripes are on the same side as your lift so you can get out of your vehicle in the first place. Oh and then once you get out, you have to take the longest route possible to enter the building becuase the accessible route is longer than a trip around the world, when people without disabilities only walk 2 feet and enter the building but you have to travel 1,000 feet to do the same thing. And being in the store is another adventure. People see you coming with your things to get in line to pay and they purposely run ahead of you and block you so you can't get into line. Or you want to go down an aisle and this person sees you and blocks your access (deliberately) and then after 10 minutes looks at you and says, "Oh did you want through?" and when you reply "yes" they take their cart and turn it sideways blocking your access even more. I want to say, "Am I invisible?" One time I was going down the aisle of a grocery store and this lady was walking backwards down the aisle. (She wanted to see where she had been.) I yelled and yelled at her and she plain ignored me. She did pay attention however when she fell into the basket of the cart I was using. I asked her if she heard me and she said yes, but she thought I was yelling at someone else. (There was nobody else in the aisle.) You are right about tne inaccessible, accessible places and the inaccessible, accessible glucose bottles.
Posted by: Kathy Mack | Jul 08, 2010 03:58 AM
What really erks me is how often the disabled stall is out of order or someone who DOES NOT NEED IT is using it. I only use a cane, for now, but I still need to use that stall in most rest rooms because the other stalls are soooo narrow. I don't mind a mother with a couple kids using that stall because I do know it is easier to take a couple kids in one stall than two in this day and age with all the weirdo's around. I also hate going in KMart. Not only do they NOT have enough scooters 99% of the time. But the scooters are, normally, not even working or not fully charged. Then if, low and behold, you can get a scooter their isles are sooo narrow you can't get through them with a crow-bar. Half the time you can't even get one of their carts down their isles so how can you get a scooter down that isle?

man - ahmen to those comments. The three degree morans that come up with this crap is mind numbing. I have glucose test strips with same issue. With little bottles and strips so smooth they molecularly stick to each other. I am 63, finger prints warn smooth and some disability from stroke. In rush invariably spill the lot all over floor, desk, table and due to issues always get 2 to 3 every time I try to extract one. I want to know who is dumbell who approved super smooth surfaces. Aka meat slice pacages with arrow that says open this end. They always seem glued together or molecularly sticking together. Getting bags at super market is also a riot trying to open end - that is if you can find a bag. Vons Safeway seem to think they are running a display art gallery in grocery section and after you search all over store you find a bag. Now big test is can you open it. The super thinness means molecular stick together is maximum. Bang on target Jan. Thankyou.

Chancellor Message 11/17/11
Message to Campus
Vice Chancellor for Research
I write to inform you that Joe G.N. "Skip" Garcia has submitted his resignation as Vice Chancellor for Research at UIC effective February 1, 2012, so he can concentrate full-time on his new position as the University of Illinois's Vice President for Health Affairs.
In his letter to me, Dr. Garcia said "the present challenges within the University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System merit my full attention and energy and I am eager to pursue the programmatic goals President Hogan and I have established for the clinical enterprise." I understand and fully support Dr. Garcia's desire to focus on his responsibilities as Vice President for Health Affairs.
Since joining UIC in February 2010 after four years as chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of Chicago, Dr. Garcia has been a dynamic leader of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research. Among his other accomplishments, he has established thematic areas of excellence; created research advisory councils to support recruitment and retention of key faculty; and facilitated a comprehensive review of research administrative processes and systems.
As you know, earlier this year President Hogan and the Board of Trustees created the position of Vice President of Health Affairs at the University of Illinois to oversee our clinical activities. Dr. Garcia was named interim VPHA in March and to the permanent position in June, while retaining his VCR portfolio. It was anticipated that at some point he would transition to the VPHA role on a full-time basis once he had completed major initiatives in the OVCR.
Please join me in thanking Skip for his service to UIC as Vice Chancellor for Research and in wishing him continued success as Vice President for Health Affairs. An announcement on an interim VCR will be made shortly.

- Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): Exorcism: Now can be used on any target and has a 100% chance to be a critical strike when used on Undead and Demons. This is to ensure that paladins do not see a drop in their dps when progressing from Naxxramas (which is full of undead) to Ulduar and beyond (not as much undead). Due to this change, [Glyph of Exorcism] was changed to 20% bonus damage.
- / Patch 3.0.2 (14-Oct-2008): Exorcism mana cost reduced and now scales with attack power and spell power.
- Patch 2.3.0 (13-Nov-2007): Exorcism mana cost reduced.

A solid-state electronic device used primarily for switching and amplification, the transistor revolutionized both electronic communication and computation. Since John Bardeen, W.B. Shockley, and W.H. Brattain invented it in 1947, it has almost entirely replaced the vacuum tube in electronic devices. It is more reliable, more flexible, and smaller in size, and it consumes less electricity. Its application ranges from small radios to the most sophisticated space probes.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks' Mark Trumbo out indefinitely with stress fracture in foot
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Mark Trumbo missed just his third game of the season Wednesday as his team took on the Chicago Cubs during a contest celebrating Wrigley Field's 100th birthday.
The 28-year-old slugger apparently has a stress fracture in his left foot, according to multiple sources.
Report: D-backs' Mark Trumbo has stress fracture in left foot http://t.co/zb5GwP1Szo via @cbssports— Eye on Baseball (@EyeOnBaseball) April 23, 2014
He is reportedly heading back to Phoenix to get a second opinion on the diagnosis, and will be sidelined indefinitely.
As a member of the Los Angeles Angels, Trumbo suffered a stress fracture in his right foot at the end of the 2011 season. It took him more than five months to recover, according to Fox Sports' Jack Magruder.
"That was a pain," he told reporters Wednesday. "That one took a long time. But this one probably should be significantly less."
Trumbo added that he had been dealing with "plantar fascia stuff" lately and doesn't know when exactly he further injured his left foot.
Neither Trumbo nor manager Kirk Gibson had a timetable for the slugger's return to action.
Trumbo got off to a hot start in his first year with the Diamondbacks but has struggled of late, only recording three hits and one RBI in his last 21 at-bats over the past six games he's played.
The 6-foot-4 outfielder has seven home runs, 19 RBI and is batting .210 in 81 at-bats this season.

Your Treatment…Or Your Life?
Jan Chait
October 16, 2007
Ever since the report came out a couple of weeks ago that people with Type 2 diabetes would trade years of life for less-intensive treatment of diabetes, I've been scratching my head. They also ranked putting up with comprehensive diabetes care as being more onerous than certain complications.
In case you missed it (or need a review), researchers studied 701 adults who'd had Type 2 diabetes for an average of 9.9 years and who attended clinics in the Chicago area. The researchers found that the group believed:
Personally, I don't like to have a cold; I don't even want to think about diabetic complications. Nearly 22 years after diagnosis, and probably several years of Type 2 diabetes before that, I can still pass a filament test on my feet. My microalbumin level is slightly elevated, but has been for years. I've had some of that soft tissue damage we tend to be prone to, in the form of shoulder impingements—both shoulders at the same time. (It's short of frozen shoulder but, basically, if you reach too far, the intense pain lets you know it, you need help getting dressed, and it's difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position.)
I didn't have access to the actual report, which was published in the October issue of Diabetes Care, but I wonder how far the researchers went in explaining neuropathy, or nerve damage. Did they stop at numb feet, or did they get into silent heart attacks and gastroparesis, which is where your stomach stops working? I just tend to wonder about things like that, is all.
Diabetes care can be a pain in the hiney. And it's not just the "care and feeding" of diabetes, but all of those other things you need to do to lower your risk of stroke, heart attacks, blindness, kidney failure, and so on. It's also expensive—and not getting any cheaper—as new, and more costly, drugs come onto the market. You tend to visit a lot of doctors, too. I swear I have a doctor for every part of my body. I'm one of the fortunate ones, in that our household income is high enough and our medical insurance good enough that we can afford for me to have diabetes.
It's also difficult to think down the road to what could be, especially if there seems to be nothing wrong with you now. Plus, even with fantastic control, there are no promises. You can have well-controlled diabetes and still get complications, or you can ignore the diabetes and make it through life with no related problems.
But even if you don't think about the long term, what about right now? Poorly controlled diabetes isn't any fun. I remember being afraid to drive anywhere because I could fall asleep at any time. I had a recurring vaginal infection. I was s-o-o-o tired I could barely move. I couldn't get enough water to drink. I was hungry all the time.
When I got my blood glucose under control, I was energetic, the yeast infection went away, the hunger and thirst departed. Heck, I even felt like having sex again! I resisted in the beginning. I didn't like taking pills (still don't). I was on a two-injections-per-day regimen that involved a lot of clock-watching. It got better when I started doing multiple injections and fantastic when I started using an insulin pump. My life improved even more when I got to the point I could put myself on "automatic pilot" when it came to wrestling the Diabeastie into some semblance of order.
I still get burned out on occasion but can, eventually, get myself back on track.
But wait. What did this study conclude?
"Patient concerns may still be allayed through early patient education, incorporating patient preferences into treatment decisions, and by acknowledging quality-of-life concerns in public health efforts."
Now where have I heard that before? Ah, yes. Didn't I touch on that in a blog entry on September 25? In other words, told ya so!
And I didn't even have to study 701 people.
From what I have seen about this article the questions were not giving diabetics 'real ' choices..If you dont control your diabetes you don't get to give up 10 good years, you increase your chances of having many 'bad years' I have been a type 2 diabetic for over 25 years, and plan on another 25 years( I am 50). I have one complication so far of grade 1 retinopathy in one eye, which is having no effect on my living my life the way I want to.

I figure that having any type of diabetes can be a problem if WE let it! When diagnosed 50 years ago I did not panic nor did I feel compelled to complain. I just asked what do I do to help myself? Back then there were few answers but info has improved vastly over the years. As for using limited numbers of patients for research programs; a waste of good money.

I had no idea I was diabetic.It sneeked up on me.Now ten angioplasties and 5 stents later, you see what untreated means.I would not wish that on anyone.I'll take the shots and pills ,thankyou

There is NO way I'd give up years of my life for less treatment. I'm agressive on my Type 2 - I win, it doesn't.
