Game: Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers
Prediction: Under
The 'under' has been a profitable proposition in the opening week of the regular season in recent years. Two years ago, 12 of 16 games stayed below the total in Week 1. Last season, 11 of the 16 opening week games finished below the total. That's a combined mark of 23-9, which is a healthy 72%. Arizona at San Francisco was one of last season's Week 1 games which stayed below the total. The 49'ers scored the winning touchdown with 22 seconds remaining but that still only brought the final score to 20-17. Including that result, the UNDER was 6-2 in San Francisco's home games last season and 11-5 in their 16 games overall. That's no big surprise as the 2007 49'ers averaged a mere 13.7 points per game. With Mike Martz brought in to oversee the offense, this year's team should score more points. However, that won't necessarily happen immediately. Let's take a closer look at some situational stats.
The 49'ers, who are currently listed as slight underdogs, have seen the UNDER go 9-2 the last 11 times they were underdogs of four points or less. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have seen the UNDER go 11-6 the last 17 times that they were favored by four points or less. The over/under line is currently listed at either 41.5 or 42. That's worth mentioning as the UNDER is 13-5 the last 18 times that the 49'ers played a game with a total ranging from 35.5 to 42 and an even better 10-1 when the Cardinals have done so. Looking a little more closely and we find the UNDER at 6-1 when the 49'ers have played a home game with a total ranging from 38 to 42 and 4-1 when the Cardinals have played a road game with a total in that range. Don't be surprised if this one also proves lower-scoring than most are expecting. At 41 or better, consider the UNDER

Re: Sunday Service Plays
Dustin Hawkins
Chicago Bears vs. Indianapolis Colts
Play: Under 44
Lovie Smith and his Chicago Bears head to Indianapolis to take on Peyton Manning and Company. The Bears went from Superbowl team to missing the playoffs in one season. The Heart and Soul of Chicago, the defense is aging which lead to injuries. Matt Forte takes over for Cedric Benson as the starting running back and Kyle Orton reclaims his job as the starting QB!!!
The Colts has questions if Manning will start Sunday night?? This high-power offense has a lot of weapons. If Manning is out, the load will be put on Joseph Addai and that will eat the clock!! The defense is always underrated and should get a big Spark with All-pro Bob Sanders healthy and ready to show his skills. Look for big things from the Colts in 08
Prediction Bears 10 Colts 21
Pick : Under 44

Kansas City Chiefs vs. New England Patriots
Play:New England Patriots -15
Okay, so the Patriots were 0-4 straight up and against the points during the preseason, son the played four playoff games including the Super Bowl last year and they didn't 'cover' once, okay so they only got the money only once in their last five regular season games. That means that they have gone 10 straight regular and post season gams without covering the pointspread. As a matter of fact they have only covered the number once in their last 13. So why am I on them this opening week? Well, first off they are playing the Kansaas City Chiefs and Tom Brady will be playing. Take the PATROITS and lay the heavy wood!
Re: Sunday Service Plays
St. Louis at Philadelphia
Pick: St. Louis +7.5
There wasn't a team in the NFL that had the injury issues to key players like the Rams did a year ago. They finished with a dreadful 3-13 mark - their worst finish since 1991. But certainly they are a better team than that. This team ran an offense behind a make-shift line each week, and the injury-depleted line stopped the Rams cold. Look for a healthy Marc Bulger to approach 2006 numbers. Many people have forgotten just how good he was back them (over 4,000 yards and 24 TDs with just eight interceptions). Even with a troubled offensive line, and four games missed due to injury, Stephen Jackson still rushed for over 1,000 yards last season. With a healthy line and healthy Jackson, look for the Rams to improve dramatically, and come out in game one with something to prove. Philadelphia played in some close games last season as five of their eight losses were by 4 points or less. The biggest problem was trying to turnover the opponent, as the Eagles managed just 19 takeaways all season. The Eagles biggest void, as has been the case for much of the Donovan McNabb era, will be at wide receiver as Kevin Curtis is out with a sports hernia. That leaves Reggie Brown, another oft-injured receiver, to carry the load. The other problem area for the Eagles is at linebacker, where they will field the youngest group in the league. This group may need time to get things in sync. Overall, this is a Rams team that is being treated by the odds-makers as not much different than their injury plagued '07 season, when the reality is they are more like the '06 team. I am backing the overlay here on the Rams.
Re: Sunday Service Plays
Ted Sevransky
Kansas City Chiefs +16.0
This one is real simple. New England closed out the regular season last year with a 1-5 ATS mark, favored by double digits in every single game. Their only pointspread cover during that span came against a Steelers team that was talking trash all week, giving the Patriots that extra motivation that they needed. In the playoffs, New England went 0-3 ATS, all as double digit favorites. In the preseason, the Pats went 0-4 ATS, failing to sniff a pointspread cover in any of their four games. We're talking about a team that is vastly overvalued by the betting marketplace, in the midst of a 1-12 ATS slide; 1-8 as double digit chalk.
Tom Brady didn't take a snap in the preseason, and he didn't even re-join practice until Wednesday. There are rumors swirling that Brady's injury is far more serious than the Pats have indicated – potentially a fractured leg. His injury riddled offensive line is suspect at best. Key third down back Kevin Faulk is suspended; tight end Ben Watson has a bad knee; and Donte Stallworth will be catching passes in Cleveland this year. This is not the same explosive offense that we saw last year. And with question marks all over their secondary, the backdoor should be wide open for Kansas City if the Pats somehow manage to pull away with a big lead.
The Chiefs might be one of the worst teams in the NFL this year, but let's not forget head coach Herm Edwards penchant for playing conservative football, keeping the games close. In Edwards two seasons as the Kansas City head honcho, 13 of their 19 losses have come by eleven points or less. Look for that trend to continue here – the Pats have no business laying points in this range to even the weakest of foes here in Week 1. Take the Chiefs.
Re: Sunday Service Plays
LT Profits
Carolina Panthers +9.0
Now there is no doubt that the San Diego Chargers have more raw talent than the Carolina Panthers, but that may not be so apparent on opening weekend.
Remember that neither LaDainian Tomlinson nor Antonio Gates played a down in preseason, and quarterback Philip Rivers is recuperating from a serious knee injury. We would not be surprised if the Chargers get off to a slow start this season as their stats get their timing down, not unlike last season when they looked very ordinary during the entire month of September.
The Panthers should be improved this season, as they upgraded the offensive line, improved the running game with the drafting of Jonathan Stewart and get quarterback Jake Delhomme back after elbow surgery. If Delhomme could return to his form before the operation, and he did nothing in the preseason to disprove this, then Carolina would have an excellent chance of winning the weak NFC South this season.
We may feel differently if this game were played in mid-season, but right now, the Panthers look like a very attractive big underdog while San Diego looks to get their stars in game shape.
Pick: Panthers +9
Tennessee Titans +3.0
The Jacksonville Jaguars had a dream season last year before losing to the New England Patriots in the second round of the playoffs, but we feel they have a tough opening week matchup with the Tennessee Titans here.
First of all, yes we know it was only preseason, but quarterback David Garrard looked extremely ordinary during the exhibition games, completing just 54 percent of his passes and garnering a very low 75.3 passer rating.
Now he must suddenly flip the switch vs. a devastating Tennessee defensive line, which is no easy feat. Secondly, the Jaguars rely on their two headed running game of Drew and Taylor, but the Titans have one of the best run defenses in the NFL.
Now Vince Young has not developed into an NFL passer, but Tennessee does have a solid running game with the power running of LenDale White and the speed bursts of Chris Johnson, and do not forget that Young is probably a better running threat that passing threat right now. That may be key vs. a Jacksonville run defense that allowed a rather pedestrian 4.1 yards per carry last year.
We feel that the Titans will have more success with their ball control offense than Jacksonville will this week, and getting a field goal at home certainly does not hurt.
Pick: Titans +3
Re: Sunday Service Plays
Craig Trapp
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tennessee Titans
Play: Jacksonville Jaguars -3
This would definately be one of Craig's premium plays if this team was not having off the field transgressions. All of the positive momentum the Jaguars (11-5) generated with their 2007 season and by locking up quarterback David Garrard to a long-term deal in April has been threatened by some off-the-field episodes. Now the Jaguars (11-5) must put aside the distractions and refocus for a season which many believe could be the one in which they finally wrestle away the AFC South crown from Indianapolis, which has won five straight division titles. Garrard didn't have his best game in the team's wild-card playoff win in Pittsburgh, but in the divisional round against New England he completed 22 of 33 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns despite the Jaguars' 31-20 loss. The 30-year-old Garrard was rewarded with the richest contract in team history, a six-year, $60 million extension. Garrard's progress along with the running back tandem of Maurice Jones-Drew and Taylor give the Jaguars a potentially potent offense, though the wide receiver position remains a question mark. On the other hand there are many questions for TEN offense. Tennessee's chances to make a return appearance to the postseason are unquestionably tied to quarterback Vince Young, who proved in his second NFL season that he's still a work in progress. They have a very solid back in White but injuries have always hurt him. Most games this competitive come down to QB and coaching and without a doubt JAC beats them at both. Expect it to be low scoring with JAC pulling away in the 4th quarter. SCORE JAC 20 - TEN 13
Re: Sunday Service Plays
Sports Insights
Dallas Cowboys vs Cleveland Browns
This is the most "lopsided-bet" game of the weekend. The public is betting this game like they know the score. The Dallas Cowboys were one of the best teams last year and are one of the Superbowl favorites this year.
While we agree that the Cowboys are once again "America's Team" – we're against the preseason hype surrounding the Cowboys. The hype is potentially creating an over-valuation on the Cowboys. This week's NFL betting data confirms that the public loves "America's team." In this week's game, Dallas is collecting almost five out of every six bets versus Cleveland.
The line opened at Dallas -3 but the avalanche of bets on Dallas has moved the line all the way to Dallas -6. That is a huge 3 point value. In the NFL, a field goal is a solid value. We're taking the +6 offering at Sportsbook or SIA, looking for the Browns to keep it close.
Cleveland Browns +6
New York Jets @ Miami Dolphins
There is heavy one-sided action on the New York Jets -3. The Jets are receiving about 80% of all bets placed on this game. The Public has been swayed by the "Summer of Favre" media frenzy – and the memory of the Dolphins compiling a 1-15 season in 2007.
Let's not forget that the Jets (4-12) only scored one more point last season than the one-win Dolphins, who were without their top two running backs (Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams) for the majority of the season. In addition, Brett Favre still doesn't have a full grasp of the Jets' playbook, which will limit what plays the coaches can call.
We love the value in the Home Dog value in getting Miami +3, plus the fact that despite heavy one way action on the Jets, the line hasn't moved. This is an excellent indicator that the Sharp money is on Miami +3. Our readers know that we always follow the Sharp money!
Miami Dolphins +3
Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers
Monday Night Football has the Favre-less Green Bay Packers at home versus the Minnesota Vikings. You would think that "the solid Packer playoff team" from last year lost half of their team in addition to their aging star, Brett Favre.
The visiting Minnesota Vikings are collecting about 70% of the bets. All of this public money has pushed the "number" off of the huge key number of 3. There is good value in getting Green Bay -2 at home. We'll "bet against the public" and grab this contrarian value.
Green Bay Packers -2
Re: Sunday Service Plays
Dr Bob
Strong Opinion
PITTSBURGH (-6.5) 21 Houston 20
Houston has gone from 2-14 in 2005 to 6-10 in 2006 and then to 8-8 last season, and I expect the Texans to continue to make strides this season thanks to an improved defense. The Texans defense rated at 0.4 yards per play worse than average for the season (5.6 yppl allowed to teams that would average 5.2 yppl against an average team – not including their week 17 game in which Jacksonville rested their starters), but the season ending injury to top CB Dunta Robinson actually led to improvement after a horrible first half of the season. It wasn't that Robinson was playing poorly, as he was playing pretty well, but his injury allowed rookie CB Fred Bennett to enter the starting lineup and Bennett was unbelievably good. Bennett started the final 8 games after Robinson was injured and he allowed a league best 4.8 yards per pass thrown his direction while breaking up 17 passes, including 15 in his 8 starts. Those are incredible numbers for a cornerback and the Texans were actually 0.2 yards per pass play better than average defensively from week 9 on with Bennett in the lineup, after being 0.7 yppp worse than average the first half of the season. Part of the credit for the improved pass defensive also goes to former #1 overall draft pick DE Mario Williams, who had 10 sacks in the final 7 games of the season after a year and a half of disappointing results. The Texans are loaded with young talent defensively and I expect them to be a better than average defensive team with CB Jacques Reeves being signed away from Dallas to play the cornerback spot opposite Bennett, which takes Demarcus Faggins and his 8.9 yards per pass attempted against him out of the lineup (Reeves allowed 7.7 ypa at Dallas last season).
With the defense picking up where they left off the second half of last season, the Texans should be a good team given that they're offense was already better than average. Houston averaged 5.6 yppl last season against teams that would allow 5.2 yppl to an average team (excluding their week 17 game against Jacksonville's backups) despite being without star WR Andre Johnson for 7 games. Johnson averaged 9.9 yards per pass thrown to him last season and the Texans would have been 0.2 yppl better had he played the entire season. Quarterbacks Matt Schaub and backup Sage Rosenfels both had very good seasons last year and should do so again, while the rushing attack should be improved with the new blocking schemes of offensive line guru Alex Gibbs, who coached the successful lines at Denver before having success with his zone blocking technique in Atlanta from 2004 through 2006 (Atlanta's line was horrible without him last season). Gibbs was lured out of his one year retirement and the Texans should have better results in the rushing numbers, which were pretty bad last season (3.8 ypr against teams that would allow 4.3 ypr to an average team).
Houston had the 3rd best special teams in the league last season thanks to kick returner Andre Davis and his 30.3 yards per return and 3 TD's. I don't expect Davis to keep up that pace, but the Texans should still be solidly better than average in special teams. Overall, the Texans should continue to improve and are certainly a playoff caliber team. The only problem is a tough division in which the other 3 teams all won 10 games or more last season.
Pittsburgh continues to be among the best handful of defensive teams in the NFL, but the Steelers are getting gradually worse offensively as their once dominant offensive line slowly deteriorates. Pittsburgh wasn't as good running the ball last season (4.3 ypr against teams that would allow 4.3 ypr to an average team) and the Steelers' line allowed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to get sacked 53 times in 16 games. The loss of star G Alan Faneca to the Jets in free agency makes the line worse this season, so the Steelers could once again be worse than average offensively after averaging just 5.3 yards per play last season (excluding the meaningless week 17 game in which the starters didn't play) against teams that would allow 5.5 yppl to an average team. Despite the loss of Faneca I expect the rushing attack to be better with rookie RB Rashard Mendehall giving starting back Willie Parker more rest, allowing both back to stay fresh. Ben Roethlisberger was actually below average last season, averaging 6.3 yards per pass play against teams that would allow 6.4 yppp to an average QB, but he was 0.4 yppp better than average in 2006 and should improve on last season's numbers.
Pittsburgh's defense had a great 2007 campaign, allowing 4.6 yards per play to teams that would combine to average 5.3 yppl against an average team. Nothing has really changed for Pittsburgh's defense this season, so I expect another very good unit in 2008. Pittsburgh's special teams have been poor the last couple of seasons, but the punt return unit should be better with Eddie Drummond running them back. Still, kicker Jeff Reed doesn't get good distance on his kickoffs and the coverage units haven't been very good. Pittsburgh should be as bad in special teams as they've been the last two seasons, but they should be below average.
Overall the Steelers appear to be a solid team once again, but Houston is an underrated squad if their talented young defense plays at the same level that they played over the second half of 2007. My math model would have only favored Pittsburgh by 5 ½ points using last season's stats for both teams, but Houston is a better team now than they were on average last season and my ratings favor the Steelers by only 3 points. Aside from the line value the Texans also apply to a decent 92-61-4 ATS week 1 contrary indicator and I'll consider Houston a Strong Opinion at +6 points or more.

ATL / DET Under 41.0
Detroit is looking to get back to a more conventional offense, emphasizing the running game and trying to lessen the hits that QB Kitna took in the old offense under former OC Martz. New Atlanta head coach Mike Smith comes over from Jacksonville, and like the Jaguars, wants to establish defense and a strong running game. With QB Matt Ryan making his debut, look for an even more conservative game plan. Look for this one to stay under the 41.

Miami Dolphins +3.0
The NY Jets are now the publics flavor of the week , as Brett Favre mania takes hold in the countries biggest metropolitan media center. The peoples choice awards for betting into bad lines is currently front and center for the Vegas and off shore books for this Sundays NFL opening action, as cash keeps flying in on a Jets team that lost 7 of their 8 road games SU last season.
A lot of square bettors are laying their money down on this game , strictly because of the Favre factor and the Dolphins perceived ineptness, because of a 1 win season in 2007, and array of coincidental and meaningless trends.
A closer look at this Jets @ Dolphins battle, features a matchtup between two pretty evenly matched teams , on both sides of the ball, with both quarterbacks ( Favre NYJs ) and (Pennington ,Fins ) trying to learn new systems.
The edge in my humble opinion, contrary to popular belief resides with President Bill Parcells and new head coach Tony Sparano as home dogs.
Take the points with Miami -Projected score: Dolphins 17 NY Jets 16

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans Over 36.5
The Jacksonville Jaguars will travel to Tennessee to face the Titans at LP Field in Nashville on Sunday. This is the second season in a row that these two heated AFC South rivals open the season against each other. Last year the Titans dropped the Jags13-10 in Jacksonville as a +7 road dog. This year the Jags are a -3 road favorite and the total is set at 36.5.
We are going to go with the Over in this division contest. Last year the Titans ran all of the Jaguars to open the season, rushing for 282 yards on 48 carries and in the process, they ground the game to a halt. Jacksonville compiled just 272 yards in their limited possession time. For the game at Tennessee, the Titans took the exact opposite approach, rushing just 19 times and throwing it 41 times. Meanwhile, the Jags rushed it 44 times it threw it just 23 times. The score (28-13 JAC) easily went over the 35 point total.
Both teams possess quality rush defenses and will likely force the other team to utilize the passing game at some point. Both squads also have big play candidates in the backfield (Maurice Jones-Drew, Chris Johnson, Vince Young, etc.) who are capable of breaking off long runs and scoring in quick fashion. The Jaguars had some changes on the defensive side of the ball too and it may take a few games for them to fully mesh.
I look for a good mix (run and pass) from both teams and both offenses should be able to do enough to get this over the low total in rather easy fashion.
Things to consider: The OVER is 4-1-1 in the last six between these two at Tennessee when the Titans were a home dog. The average game score was 49.2 and the total was never below the 36.5 line on Sunday's game.
Pick: Take the OVER 36.5 -110

Seattle Seahawks vs. Buffalo Bills
Play:Seattle Seahawks +1
Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Seattle – Buffalo has high expectations with many Bills players guaranteeing that this will be a playoff bound season. Their first game can't get much more difficult with the Seahawks coming into town. Buffalo has a new offensive scheme and several new players on defense. In summary, I just don't see, based on published reports and pre-season performances, how Buffalo will be able to play a complete game from beginning to end. Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters is holding out in a contract dispute. Defensive tackle Marcus Stroud, outside linebacker Kawika Mitchell and cornerback Leodis MvKelvin, the team's first-round draft pick, make their debuts on a revamped defense. Seattle's defense is very good and filled with Pro Bowlers. This defensive unit will set the tone and control the LOS throughout the game. I think it makes total sense too, that the Seattle offense will try and run as many plays as possible with quick huddles and even using a no huddle every so often. In setting a fast tone, it will force Buffalo to stay with personnel on the field and allow Seattle to identify favorable matchups to exploit. AiS shows a 73% probability that Seattle will win this game. It also reveals an 83% probability that they will gain a MINIMUM of 300 total yards on offense. Note that Seattle is 6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) when they gain 300 to 350 total yards over the last 2 seasons. Here is a significant money line angle that shows Buffalo with a 1-7 mark losing -7.2 units when they allow 6 to 6.5 net passing yards/attempt over the last 3 seasons. Take Seattle
Re: Sunday Service Plays
Philadelphia – over St. Louis
The Eagles defense should be among the best in the league and St. Louis is a team that falls apart if there are mistakes in the passing game. Getting RB Jackson up to speed may take a little more time and the Rams are in a phase one of rebuilding still even though there is growing pressure on the coaching staff. The Rams have not been a strong underdog team and Philadelphia is ready to take care of business at home. QB McNabb looked sharp in preseason action and the Eagles can start strong with a big win and cover despite the growing line.

Dallas at Cleveland
Dallas is in a 29-8 ATS Super System that says to Play On favorites in the first week of the season if they failed ATS in their last 3 games last year. The Cowboys are 5-0 ATS their last 5 September games. Cleveland looks to be a public team this year after their 10-6 Straight Up and 12-4 ATS record last year. It will be a different dynamic this year for the Browns with expectations very high in Cleveland. The Browns are up against some heavy freight in this contest. PLAY ON #471 DALLAS -

Dallas Cowboys at Cleveland Browns Sep 7 2008 4:15PM
Prediction: Over
This will be the 10th consecutive season the Cleveland Browns have opened the year at home. Previously, they are just 1-8 SU, so as attractive as the points look, we can?t take them. What we will do though is go Over. Wade Phillips is 11-2 Over on the road in non-conference games. Dallas was 2nd in the NFL last year scoring over 28 PPG. Cleveland averaged over 26 PPG at home. The Browns also began the year by going Over in 9 of their first 10 in 2007. Take Over.

Good morning,
This is the first time that I will contribute in this forum.
I apologize for if not the normal access method to solve these problems.
my question or doubt is:
My phone is the model 5800XM
In nokia messaging can define the access point to connect to the mail retrieval service.
At this point you can decide if you want it done through a fixed point, or leave it in default mode.
My question is,
Why is always selected by default, never select the wifi to connect to the mail (if available wifi network) and it always does through 3G or GPRS????
I configured the access points by priority (in the phone), and 3G or GPRS is the last.
I'm probably doing something wrong, but I cant find the point indicated.
thanking in advance
my email is email@example.com

I've been told to research some sort of cashless system for the canteen/dinner money.
Do you have one and how does it work? We are a large primary school with SIMS.
Printable View
I've been told to research some sort of cashless system for the canteen/dinner money.
Do you have one and how does it work? We are a large primary school with SIMS.
We have got Vericool Cashless catering system. with ParentPay as the system to send money into the school.
We used Cyclone Industries to install cashless in our school using touchscreen tills and fingerprint cash loaders. It integrates with SIMS and Parent Pay. The kitchen staff were a bit skeptic at first but they love it now!
Our system is provided by our catering company (which is a part of the LA). They use Cashless EPoS Cashless Catering Cashless Tills from Cunninghams EPoS Solutions
Make sure your system does other things like access control as it may make it easier in the future.
We are easytrace site (now part of RM).
Do u want to have fingertip system or a card system? Vericool also does a system for registration as well. Not sure what that is like because we are not using it.
Another vote for cunninghams (we use finger print scanning) + parentpay, stuff is really good, support is excellent cant complain one bit, if they cant fix it remotely somebody will come down to you. I am in West Sussex, they are based in Birmingham and the guys are really helpful when they do come down.
If you give them a call little-miss im sure they would come out and show you the kit
We use the CRB Biometric cashless catering system - very little if any problems with it in 3 years.
Another vote for Cunninghams. Support is excellent and had very few issues
We use Nationwide retail /Trustee with biometrics and can't fault it .The issues we seem have are parentpay but none these where major(would be nice if the staff upload was automatic from sims)
We also use the NRS Nationwide Retail Trust-e system, it can also integrate with SIMS and parentpay, it can do biometric or card authentication.
Nationwide Retail Systems Ltd
They can bring around to you a complete working demo solution.
I'd avoid biometric systems with young kids, the system has trouble reading a lot of their finger prints. We have trouble with some of our year 7's with smaller fingers. Our system uses Digital Persona finger print sensors which are usually pretty good (particularly the newer ones that don't have the rubber coating on the glass) and is made by uniware. Generally I've been very happy with it, although it doesn't link to sims directly we have to add users manually to it which is a bit of a pain , but the system itself is very good.
We use EasyTrace with Smart Cards [no Biometrics]
Works well enough. Now having said that I am expecting a call from the Canteen to say that Pos2 is not working [again]
Littlemiss, i used to work at a company called A2Z computer products, we used to sell a biometrics cashless catering systems that intergrates with SIMS/PARS ect. prices are really competative and our biggest competition was cunninghams.
if your going to get a quote from cunninghams i would highly reccommend getting one from A2Z computers aswell the system is called Liveregister, once you have this in you could look at adding to the solution by including a lesson registration system as well, again that fully intergrates with SIMS and the Cashless catering system.
Ask for a Mr Jason Large, he is the most senior Accounts manager there with repects to Cashless Catering and the other systems as well. the number is 01509 633 550. anjd let him know that a Michael Hayden reccommended you to him lol ( hes a out of office Friend too ) i hope this helps you :)
They will also come out and show you a demo of the product and how quick the registration progress is of the thumb print.
another vote for cunninghams we had an other system before this that didn't work at all never have a problem with cunninghams

Amusement Project Services of Loveland (Maurer Sohne U.S)
Bruce D. Robinson Architecture Design of Cincinnati provides a full range of services including theme and concept development, master planning, site and landscape development, and design of architecture, interiors, graphics and signage. Our project experience includes theme parks, water parks, family entertainment centers and cinemas, retail centers, museums and aquariums, sports and fitness facilities, and gaming attractions.
Carousel Creations, Ltd. of Cincinnati
Curtis D. Summers, Inc. of Loveland, founded by former Kings Island engineer Curtis D. Summers. Summers moved to Cincinnati in 1958 and joined a firm that did design work for Coney Island. When Coney announced plans to build Kings Island in the late 1960's, Summers was retained to help design many aspects of the park, including the Eiffel Tower.
In 1972, he opened up his own engineering and architectural firm bearing his name at 7800 Laurel Avenue in Loveland, Ohio. Much of the firm's work involved amusement and water parks but Summers also helped design office buildings, manufacturing plants commercial buildings. Throughout his career, he only designed wood coasters. It was there that Summers met Charles Dinn, who served as the Director of Construction at Kings Island. In 1976, the firm was retained to help design the legendary Beast at Kings Island. In the mid 1980's, Dinn left Kings Island and formed Dinn Corporation and joined Summers on a number of coaster projects. The duo combined their talent to design and build 10 wood roller coasters across the country. They included:
Georgia Cyclone – Six Flags Over Georgia
Hercules – Dorney Park
Mean Streak – Cedar Point
Predator – Darien Lake
Psyclone – Six Flags Magic Mountain
Raging Wolf Bobs – Geauga Lake
Texas Giant – Six Flags Over Texas
Timber Wolf – Worlds of Fun
Thunder Run – Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom
Wolverine Wildcat – Michigan's Adventure
In 1992, Summers passed away and his partners ultimately dissolved his company in 1994.
Custer Speciality Company of Dayton was founded by Dayton resident Levitt Luzern Custer. As a young boy, he frequented the Wright Brothers' Bicycle Shop and established a life-long friendship with the Wright family, especially Orville. Custer graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1913. After briefly working for the National Cash Register Company, he founded the Custer Specialty Company in 1916 and opened his factory on North Ludlow Street and Franklin Street across from Chaminade-JullienneHigh School in downtown Dayton. On the fourth floor, he built the first indoor miniature golf course. The second floor became an oceanarium, with more than 100 tanks filled with tropical fish. In later years, a large arrow was painted on the roof of the factory, which helped guide pilots to nearby McCook's Field.
About 1925, Custer produced the Custer Park Car, a battery-operated car that could be used on any track. It quickly became very popular since the only installation needed was a flat surface. Custer then developed the Custer "C" Cycle, a small, paddlewheel-propelled watercraft, similar to a bicycle. The pedals turned the paddlewheel in the rear of the ride and it too quickly became very popular.
In 1940, Custer moved to a larger plant to Linden Avenue on Dayton's east side. While Custer's work was mainly aviation related, his heart remained active in the amusement park industry up until his death. He was a member of the National Association of Amusement Parks, Pools, and Beaches (today known as the IAAPA) for many years.
In the mid 1950's, Custer moved his factory to 139 Bradford Street just a mile away from his former location. Custer, 74, passed away August 30, 1962. The company remained in business until September 11, 1965 when a fire gutted the building and destroyed all of Custer's drawings, models and files.
Dinn Corporation of West Chester was formed in 1982 by Charles Dinn, who had served as Kings Island's Director of Construction, Maintenance and Engineering in the 1970's. His most notable project was The Beast roller coaster. He presided over an in-house team that included Jim Nickell, Al Collins, and William Reed. Along with assistance from Philadelphia Toboggan Coaster designer John Allen, The Beast was born and opened in 1979. A few years later, Dinn left Kings Island and opened his own firm, Dinn Corporation. For engineering services, he teamed up with Curtis D. Summers, Inc. of Cincinnati.
The duo combined their talent to design and build 10 wood roller coasters across the country. They included:
In 1992, Summers passed away and Dinn retired.
Custom Coasters International, Inc. was founded in 1991 by Denise Dinn Larrick (daughter of Charles Dinn), Randy Larrick (Denise's husband) and Jeff Dinn (son of Charles Dinn). Their main designers were Larry Bill, Chad Miller, Korey Kiepert, and Michael Graham. At one point, the company produced more wood roller coasters than any other company in the world. The company dissolved in 2002 due to personal issues.
The Gravity Group of Cincinnati was founded in 2002 by former Custom Coasters Incorporated staff Lawrence Bill, Chad Miller, Korey Kiepert, and Michael Graham. After consulting on a few coasters, they began building their first new coasters in 2004 at Mt. Olympus and Holiday World.
International Theme Park Services, Inc. of Cincinnati
Jack Rouse Associates of Cincinnati
National Amusement Devices (NAD) / International Amusement Devices Co. (IAD) was founded by Romanian immigrant Aurel Vaszin, who migrated to the United States in 1904. He moved to Dayton in 1913 and got a job as craftsman employed by an amusement park development firm headquartered in New Haven, Connecticut. After completing an assignment at Lakeside Amusement Park in Dayton, he established his own business and opened the Forest Park Zoological Gardens on 43 acres located on North Main Street near Frankie's Forest Park. The Depression set in and Vaszin closed the gardens in 1935. Undaunted, Vaszin established the National Amusement Device Company, located at 139 Hatfield Street. For more than 60 years, NAD was one of two leading manufacturers of amusement park rides in the country. In 1964, Vaszin designed and developed the world's largest roller coaster, called "Russian Mountain" for Chapultepec Park in Mexico City, Mexico.
The business was sold in April, 1973 and the name changed to International Amusement Device, Inc. Despite the company's move out of the area, Vaszin stayed on as a consultant until his death in 1979.
Streifthau Manufacturing Company was created in 1958 by Middletown resident, Edgar Streifthau. At the time, Edgar was the majority owner of LeSourdsville Lake Amusement Park. A few years earlier, Edgar, Edgar's son Lindy and Oxford resident Frank Dodd teamed up to develop the "Streco Turnpike Cruiser." The cars were manufactured in a red brick building on the grounds which would later become Fantasy Farm amusement park. Cars were sold to parks around the country. The company also manufactured Erie Motorbikes.
Dodd visited the newly built Disneyland and was impressed by the gas powered cars running on the Disney turnpike. Upon his return home Frank sculpted the body of a car to resemble the features of the average car of the time. Frank then turned to Sam Neihoff also of Oxford. Sam built the chassis for the first generation car. They found a frame of a cart with a wheelbase of 47 inches and the overall width of 32 inches. The first chassis used 1 inch square tubing, as did the King Midget Junior that the chassis was somewhat copied from. The early cars from the late fifties had two headlights and tall narrow tail fins and were steered by the driver. Some of the earliest runs for the cars were through a maze of straw setup on High Street in Oxford for a street fest in the late fifties.
A number of engines and clutches were experimented with but the Cushman engine and clutch combination was found to be the combo of choice to handle the heat of running in an enclosed box all day for years. Once setup in amusement parks kids would drive them hard and run into guardrails and each other. The frame was not up to the rigors of amusement park service so Lindy set out to build a second generation car that had a frame built from angle iron and was much heavier. The chassis had rack and pinion steering and grease fittings on the bearings. The bodies had four headlights and wider but shorter tail fins and a fiberglass floor plan. The company continued to produce cars until the early 1970s.
The company was dissolved in 1985.
Taft Broadcasting Company of Cincinnati entered the amusement park business in 1969 when they purchased Coney Island amusement park in Cincinnati. Shortly after the purchase, the company purchased 1,600 acres near Mason, Ohio that would become the home of Kings Island. Coney Island was closed after the 1971 season and many of its rides were moved to Kings Island to begin the 1972 season. Those rides included the Turnpike, the Log Flume, the Carousel, the Tumble Bug, Monster, Scrambler, Giant Slide, Round Up, Flying Scooter, Galaxi, Sky Ride Rotor, Cuddle Up and Dodgem. In 1975, Taft opened Kings Dominion in Virginia and Canda's Wonderland in Toronto in 1981. In 1983, senior executives with Taft Broadcasting purchased the theme park division of Taft and formed Kings Entertainment Company (KECO) comprising of Kings Dominion, Carowinds (Charlotte, North Carolina), Kings Island and Canada's Wonderland. In 1985, KECO obtains a managing contract for Great America in Santa Clara, California and buys it outright a few years later. In 1993, KECO is acquired by Paramount. William H. Robinson, Inc (WHR, Inc.) of Hamilton was formed by former LeSourdsville Lake / Americana Amusement Park executive William "Bill" Robinson.
Robinson began his ascent in the amusement park business in April 1962 when he took a job as a ride operator in Kiddieland at LeSourdsville while still in high school. During his 21 years at LeSourdsville, he headed nearly every department at one time or another (and many times simultaneously), from group sales to marketing to operations to opening its in-house advertising agency. I
In 1983 Robinson left LeSourdsville (then known as Americana) and along with a partner, started the marketing consulting group—Adelman, Robinson & Associates, Inc.—to provide a variety of marketing services to amusement parks, water parks and others in the industry. In 1991, his partner left the industry, and Bill formed his own company William H. Robinson, Inc.
Robinson has not only directed his firm but also has supported the industry by serving two terms as a member of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Board of Directors, the IAAPA Public Relations Committee, chairman of the IAAPA Promotions and Advertising Scrapbook Committee, and formed and co-chaired the first IAAPA Brass Ring Awards.
Since 1974, Robinson has received six service awards from IAAPA for work in the amusement industry. As CEO of WHR, Inc., Robinson's clients have won over 100 Brass Ring awards from the IAAPA, Wave Review awards from the World Water Park Association and Golden Token awards from the International Association for the Leisure and Entertainment Industry. WHR, Inc. has also received advertising industry awards for creative and production excellence including the CLIO, ADDY and TELLY awards.
Robinson's past and current clients include Indiana Beach (Monticello, Indiana), Lake Winnepesaukah (Chattanooga, Tennessee), Trader's World (Monroe, Ohio), Knight's Action Park & Caribbean Water Adventure (Springfield, Illinois), Fantasy Farm (Monroe, Ohio), the New Blue Diamond Amusement Park (New Castle, Delaware), Cliff's Amusement Park (Albuquerque, New Mexico), Custom Coasters International (West Chester, Ohio), Americana (Monroe,Ohio), Cincinnati Zoo, Erieview Park (Cleveland, Ohio), Holiday World (Santa Claus, Indiana), Joyland Park (Lubbock, Texas), Kiddieland Amusement Park (Chicago, Illinois), Paramount Parks (Charlotte, North Carolina), Lake Compounce (Bristol, Connecticut), among others. Robinson is the creator of Indiana Beach's world renowned slogan, "There's More Than Corn in Indiana!" as well as its popular mascot, IB Crow.

The play follows the life of colored army general Othello who falls in love with a white woman. The play depicts people's sentiments on the seemingly strange relationship, and the social tensions an inter-racial love can cause in a community. The play takes a drastic turn when Othello's friend, Iago deceives him into believing that his wife has betrayed him. Othello is struck with such grief and madness that he is driven to murder his love.
"The director wanted to show how men and women exist and behave in the world. How people felt about such relationships. And also how men use their masculinity to solve their problems," explained Masixole. He describes his character as ignorant and self absorbed – which is ultimately the cause of his downfall. Masixole found the play to be particularly challenging as a man grounded in his own culture. Stepping out of the comfort of culture and custom, Masixole said that he was "raised in a society where people believed that they should behave in a particular way." He mentioned he felt uncomfortable with the plot. "But we are all human" he explained.
The message of the piece was designed to incorporate isiXhosa both as a language and as a culture, and was etched into the fabric of South African life and customs – the good, the bad, and the stereotypical. Harrison managed to create a play with a new and fresh appeal to South African playwrights as opposed to the familiar, brilliant, yet sometimes over-presented works of Shakespeare.

After lunch, relax on the beach or push off from shore with a group led by Blue Sky Kayaking, a local outfitter that runs tours ranging from an easy paddle through a coastal lake to more adventurous outings into the Gulf to view dolphins, stingrays and other sea life.
Come evening, you'll be ready to clean up for a nice dinner at WaterColor's flagship restaurant, Fish Out of Water. The second-story dining room overlooks the ocean, and its artful seafood preparations draw raves.
Fuel up on breakfast at WaterColor and drive fifteen minutes west to Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort, a sprawling playground with more than 1,400 condo suites, and seventy-two holes of golf. If you're up to it, this is the day and the place to play thirty-six. Start with Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s Raven Golf Club, a daring layout that rambles through pines and lagoons and annually hosts a Champions Tour event. For your second round, tee it up at Baytowne Golf Club, where the front nine carves through corridors of pines and the back nine opens up—for a three-hole stretch (thirteen through fifteen) you'll be mesmerized by views of the Gulf. Another option, available only to overnight guests at Sandestin, is Rees Jones's Burnt Pine, highlighted by a picturesque par three spanning the inlet of a bay. Or, if eighteen is enough golf for you, drive back to Destin and spend the afternoon on a fishing charter.
Catch the sunset that evening at the Tarpon Club Rooftop Bar in Seaside and then move downstairs to Bud & Alley's, an Emerald Coast institution serving fresh seafood and huge cuts of meat and offering live entertainment.
Stop in for a filling breakfast of biscuits and sausage-egg-and-cheese tacos at Cowgirl Kitchen in Seagrove Beach, then make the twenty-five-minute drive north to the town of Freeport for one final round, at Windswept Dunes. Though the course lies ten miles inland, you'll feel as though you're steps from the Gulf thanks to the grass-covered dunes created by "Dozer" Doug O'Rourke, the architect, owner and builder. O'Rourke, who previously had built courses only for other architects, fashioned a layout of twenty-first-century length— 7,600 yards from the tips—that features numerous centerline bunkers. The variety of holes at Windswept Dunes keep the play as fresh as the ever-present wind. It's an ideal way to conclude your visit to the Emerald Coast—you'll drive away reluctantly, daydreaming about this once-ridiculed region's vibrant colors and beach culture, not to mention its golf.

Topic: Wharton
Barack Obama: the smart bet
The below piece will run in next Monday's edition of the Wharton Journal, hopefully reaching hundreds of registered Pennsylvania voters just before the election. It's part of a set of "dueling" opinion pieces, one pro-Romney and one pro-Obama. I thought I'd share it with you. *** President Obama has done an extraordinary job in the face of a global financial catastrophe and shocking levels of Republican obstruction. Over the next four years, he offers a balanced agenda to support growth … Read More
Global Risks 2012
One of the more interesting items circulating around Wharton this week is the Global Risks 2012 report, co-written by the Wharton Center for Risk Management. Though directed primarily at the financial industry, the report aggregates and analyzes the thinking of "469 experts and industry leaders" from government, corporations, NGOs, and international organizations. It's valuable reading for anyone who wants to know what the world's elite is worried about in 2012. Most interesting is the prominence of "Severe Income Disparity" as … Read More
The "Occupation" Hits Home at Wharton
Just two weeks ago, I lamented the fact that my fellow Wharton students seemed so disengaged from the national debate swirling around the Occupy Wall Street movement. Well, on Friday afternoon, Occupy Wall Street "occupied" The Wharton School. The proximate cause of the "occupation" was a planned speech at Wharton by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R) on "inequality." When Cantor realized that the speech would be open to the public (a policy made known to Cantor's people all along), … Read More
Pre-Occupied Wall Street
These days, my Twitter feed is aflutter with frenetic messages from progressive activists about Occupy Wall Street. But, back on campus at The Wharton School, you're more likely to hear the twittering of birds than you are to hear anyone talk about the foes of finance. This is all the more striking because the protesters' primary target is the industry with which Wharton has historically been almost synonymous.

I live in South Central Kansas and the wind seldom stops blowing here especially in the spring. I used Mel's mix and don't seem to have a problem with it blowing away after I put it in the beds and we've recently had some 40-50 mph winds. Follow his directions about wetting it down as you add it to your beds. Mel's mix faired a lot better than my hoops. Stacey |

It is very windy where I am as well and the mix has not blown away. But it does dry it out very quickly. |

This week, churches across the U.S. will take part in the National Day of Prayer.
According to Pastor Dutch Sheets, it's something America stands in desperate need of.
"America is in a horrendous crisis of monumental proportions, a season much like Israel in the days of Joel," Sheets warned in a letter on his website.
"The Old Testament prophet warned of devastating judgment coming to Israel, but laced the warning with hope and Gods mercy if certain things occurred," he wrote. "That is precisely where we are in America."
CBN News Reporter George Thomas recently spoke with Sheets about America's crucial need for prayer. Click play to watch that interview.

Furloughs Force Workers to Finally Abandon Email
More and more these days we're hearing about companies forcing employees to take furloughs as a means of cutting costs and preserving jobs. Taking a week of unpaid leave has almost become commonplace among media companies: newspapers, magazines and television stations have all implemented furloughs in recent months. But in this day and age, when technology has made it so easy for us to be connected 24/7, how many of us actually know how to take a full week off from work? We schlep our laptops on vacation! We check our BlackBerrys and iPhones the minute we arrive home from the office. And most nights and weekends are no longer protected work-free zones.
Can furloughs actually be good for us and change the way we think about our time off?
According to a recent article published in the Legal Times, absolutely no work is permitted during a furlough. The authors write, "A problem may arise where exempt employees perform seemingly
insignificant 'work' while on furlough. The
performance of such minimal work, if 'suffered' by the employer,
creates an obligation to pay the exempt employee's full salary."
Yikes. You wouldn't want your company to suffer and actually have to pay you now, would you?
And yet it's not always easy to take a true break from the office. Even a forced unpaid one. Take Jen Y. in Tampa for example. She says furloughs have meant more work on everypone's desk and it's becoming more stressful upon returning to the office. "I work for a company that has instituted the dreaded furloughs, 13 days and counting this year already," Jen wrote to me in a recent email. "No matter how I say I WANT to avoid checking work email when on furlough, I still find myself picking up the dreaded Crackberry and scrolling through. I don't usually respond (much) to emails, but I read them just to get ready for what's going to face me when I come back."
One way to ensure you do absolutely no work during a furlough is to completely stop using your BlackBerry or iPhone for the week. If you still need the phone, try temporarily disconnecting Web access from your device. Emails won't come in again until you reconnect service.
Are you facing a furlough? What plans do you have for the time off and how will you ensure you won't read even a single email message?

By John Betjeman
Let us not speak, for the love we bear one another—
Let us hold hands and look.
She such a very ordinary little woman;
He such a thumping crook;
But both, for a moment, little lower than the angels
In the teashop's ingle-nook.
I very much like Sir John and his work, especially his poetry. For fifty years, at a time when other people were becoming more internationally aware, John Betjeman immersed himself in the glories of English culture -- its places, its writings, its heroes. His Tennis Whites and Teacakesbrings together the best of Betjeman's poetry, private letters, journalism and musings to present a fully rounded picture of what he stood for. From his arguments for new steel buildings to his amusement about the etiquette of village teashops, it reveals Betjeman not just as a sentimentalist but as a passionate observer with a wonderful sense of humor and an acute eye.

The Meaning of Tea
I recently found out about this DVD and could not wait to place an order...we all know there just aren't that many tea films about. It looks very entertaining and interesting. Tea Dragon Films describes their work as a "lyrical documentary" that explores the romance and complexities surrounding tea. They go on to invite us to sit back and enjoy the film, sipping "the finest (visual) brews from India to Morocco, England to Taiwan and other corners of the world where two leaves in a bud are revered." Available for purchase via their website.

text: Reminder Assistant Editor They're your mother, your boss, your neighbor or your friend -- they are the American Heart Association's 2009 Go Red Leading Ladies of Western Massachusetts. The 27 honorees will be traveling throughout Western Massachusetts to raise awareness about heart disease -- the number one killer of women in America over the age of 20 -- and the importance of heart-healthy lifestyles. "The American Heart Association was looking for women who are role models and an inspiration to others in the home, at work or in their community," Mary Ann Burns, Regional Communications Director for the American Heart Association, said. "Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women. The Go Red For Women movement is a national movement providing women with information, resources and hopes to live longer, stronger lives." In an interview with Reminder Publications, Go Red Leading Lady Michelle Srenbick of Longmeadow said she was honored to be chosen to represent an organization that has meant so much to her family. She explained that her two-year-old daughter was born with a congenital heart defect and undergone two open-heart surgeries to repair the organ and implant a pacemaker. "She's never going to be an Olympic athlete but she'll be healthy," Srenbick said of her daughter, adding that she will undergo her final surgery this summer. She explained that the American Heart Association has allowed her family to meet others with similar experiences, creating a new support network for them. "It has been a real help to know other families [are going through this and] that you're not alone in this," Srenbick said. Go Red Leading Lady Vivian Williams of Springfield explained that in order to be a spokesperson for heart-healthy lifestyles, one must begin at home. She said she chooses to eat healthy and engage in 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity each day. "I'm in the medical field [so] I've seen what having a healthy heart [can do]," Williams said. "[I want to] let people see how I live my life and hope it will influence just one person [to adopt heart-healthy living]." Go Red Leading Lady Melva Copes of Westfield recalled that she was shocked to find out that she had been chosen as one of this year's honorees. She said she volunteers her time to the American Heart Association but never knew she'd been nominated. Copes explained that she tries to "do the right thing" by her body and that one must live by example. The 2009 Go Red Leading Ladies also include Danielle Veronesi-Polasty of Agawam; Trish Robinson and Christine Shirtcliff of Belchertown; Chris Annable of Greenfield; Carol Rogers of Holyoke; Michelle Haryasz, Lynn Ostrowski, Linda Martins and Janis Santos of Ludlow; Pam Stratton of Palmer; Stephanie Esdale of Shelburne Falls; Jaclyn Cashman, Tracey Gary, Jennie Golden, Eloise Long, Gwynetta Sneed, Pamela Smith, Carrie Taylor, Patty Weller, Gail Wilson and Jimmie Wilson of Springfield; and Deanna Lawrence and Maureen Mandirola of West Springfield. The honorees will make their next appearance at the Face to Nails, Etc. fundraiser in Chicopee on Feb. 13 and the Go Red Night at the Springfield Falcons game on Feb. 20.

How do you store begonia tubers? I have tried a few ways without success. I tried burying them in peat moss and wrapped in newspaper but neither worked to keep them alive. I don't really have a really cold place that is just above freezing and just put them in the basement which is cool but not cold. Could that be my problem? |

ESSEM in Detail
The following examples illustrate aspects of potential research and development in this Domain. The scope of the Domain is not restricted to these activities.
Modelling and observing the changing Earth systems: Based on improving our understanding of physical and biogeochemical principles through new and integrated observing and modelling capacities, this will contribute to predicting global and regional environmental changes.
Prediction, adaptation and mitigation of hazards: This requires developing advanced modelling and early-warning systems (e.g. geohazards, severe hydro-meteorological events, air/soil pollution), integrated with upgraded in-situ, remote sensing and satellite technologies and observing networks.
Enhancement of Environmental Management: This will contribute to the development of early-detection technologies and indicators to managing natural resources (e.g. biodiversity loss, nitrogen and phosphorous cycling), as well as to the development of systems for renewable energy production, modelling of water and energy production scenarios and their impact on the environment.
Strong interactions with international initiatives, programmes or organisations are welcome. ESSEM also supports interdisciplinary research networks on adaptation and mitigation for regional or local authorities and policy makers.

Gary airport control tower to shut down; Allegiant will still fly there
By Teresa Auch Schultz email@example.com March 22, 2013 2:33PM
Updated: April 24, 2013 6:11AM
GARY — Gary/Chicago International Airport's air traffic control tower did not win a reprieve from the federal government and is expected to shut down in the next six weeks.
"(I'm) extremely disappointed," Interim Airport Director Steve Landry said.
Landry received an email Friday afternoon from the Federal Aviation Administration that did not include the Gary airport as one of the 24 contract air traffic control towers that would stay open. Another 16 towers that already had cost-share agreements with the federal government will also be allowed to stay open.
That means the towers at Gary and another 148 airports with contract air traffic control towers will see their towers shut down, unless each airport comes up with its own contract.
The closures will not force the shutdown of any of the airports, but pilots will be left to coordinate takeoffs and landings among themselves over a shared radio frequency with no help from ground controllers. In Gary, planes already take off and land without control tower assistance from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
The only other tower in Indiana slated to close will be the one in Columbus. The closures will start April 7 and will roll out through the next four weeks. Landry said the FAA hasn't told him yet when the Gary tower will close.
Landry said the Gary airport could make its own contract with an outside company to staff the tower, but it would have to come up with the money — $500,000 a year — to pay for it.
The airport also has to wait to see what will happen to the companies that provide the tower employees, as some of them could be financially hurt from the federal cuts, Landry said.
"Are they going to remain a viable business because of this?" Landry said.
The tower's closure will not affect Allegiant Air's service at the Gary airport. Landry said he has received word that the airline plans to continue to normal operations at the airport. That will include another seasonal hiatus starting around the same time the tower closes, but that break is because of a lull in the tourism season between spring break and summer vacations, Landry said. The airline has told him they will pick up service again starting in mid-May.
The break is similar to one that took place last fall.

Let go and say good-bye.
Let the stars and songs go.
Let the faces and years go.
Loosen your hands and say
good-bye. - Carl Sandberg
I reached for an Easter story, not very enthused on a gloomy Sunday afternoon. I pulled out the tattered, Lewis family black and white album. Though the smiling photographs of Mary, Ronnie and me, on Easter 1953, are familiar, I can't recall the hue of my bowl-shaped bonnet, or one colored egg, box of peeps, or pastel basket lined with stringy, static grass. I gaze at the pictures and reflect..."where did we go from here?"
It was as though the book dropped from a high place into my waiting arms. A simple story of living and dying for all ages, which I hadn't picked up for years, had found me again. I had planned to share this with grandchildren; the time has come. "The Fall of Freddie the Leaf" was written by "Living, Loving & Learning" author, Dr. Leo Buscaglia.
The season of Easter, in order to glorify life, must, likewise, be rooted in death. The forward to Freddie's story unleashes a subject once kept mute, behind closed doors, where children were concerned. "Dedicated to all children who have ever suffered a permanent loss, and to the grownups who could not find a way to explain it." This book is a delicate balance between life and death.
A conversation goes on between two leaves on one huge tree, the wise leaf Daniel explaining things to a new leaf Freddie, who had "first appeared in spring as a small sprout on a rather large branch near the top of a tall tree." Colored tree photos sweep across the mind's eye in striking accord.
"What's a purpose?" Freddie had asked. "A reason for being," Daniel answered. What a lowly tree provides - shade for the elderly, a cool place for children to play, and "to fan with our leaves the picnickers who come to eat on checkered tablecloths." As fall brought frost, and then a blaze of color, Freddie asked, "Why did we turn different colors, when we are on the same tree?" "We have faced the sun differently," Daniel mused. "We have cast shade differently."
The same breezes that had made the leaves dance began to push and pull at their stems, almost as if they were angry. "It's what happens in fall," Daniel told the others. "It's the time for leaves to change their home. Some people call it to die." It happens to all, weak and strong. We do our job, we experience, we learn to dance and to laugh. "Then we die."
Freddie was afraid of the unknown. "You were not afraid when summer became fall. Why should you be afraid of the season of death?" "But there is something stronger than the tree," Daniel remarked. "It is life. That lasts forever and we are all a part of life." "It's been about the shade and the old people and the children." Daniel effortlessly let go.
Then Freddie was alone, the only leaf left on his branch. "Freddie found himself losing his color, becoming brittle." "...snow weighed heavily upon him." "As he fell, he saw the whole tree for the first time." Realizing that he had been a part of its life made him proud, and he was more comfortable than he had ever been.
"He did not know that spring would follow winter...that what appeared to be his useless dried self would join with the water and serve to make the tree stronger."
"Most of all, Freddie did not know that there, asleep in the tree and the ground, were already plans for new leaves in the spring...the beginning."
Let go...and let God. Poet Sara Teasdale once penned: "It was a spring that never came;/ But we have lived enough to know/ That what we never have remains;/ It is the things we have that go."
Roots are strengthened by one's passing. Celebrate your need for God this Easter...and drift along in peace.

In "Principled Commitment," a Tapestry of Faith program
Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction. — Antoine de Saint Exupery, twentieth-century French writer and aviator

Collaboration within a relationship involves each partner actively seeking ways to help the other partner feel fulfilled. Each supports the other's dreams, and both partners work together to help each other grow. Collaboration may enhance problem-solving skills, which can strengthen a couple's relationship. When people collaborate, they strive to achieve a shared vision or goal by working together in an atmosphere of trust, respect, and flexibility.
Guiding Unitarian Universalist Principle
Second Principle: Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations
Although we aspire to the ideal of right relationship, the reality is that as imperfect human beings we struggle with our own not-always-selfless natures. The ability to create just, equal, and compassionate relationships is one of the most important and difficult challenges we face. Conflict, jealousies, and external problems may seem to conspire to undermine our loving relationships. By engaging in respectful interaction, managing conflicts productively, and facing challenges collaboratively, we are better able to sustain mutually loving and beneficial relationships.
Considerations for Adaptation
If you are leading Activity 3, Engaging Conflict Collaboratively, in a retreat setting, you may wish to allow couples time to discuss their responses to Handout 1, Styles of Conflict Engagement. Some couples might have a difficult time with this exercise, especially if their styles are at odds with one another. Be prepared to provide support, encouragement, and referrals.
