Devils Generals Viewing Party Recap – Simkos Grill in Brielle, January 7, 2012
One of the many goals we have had this year at Mission Control is to show that the Devils really are JERSEY'S team. We have made a huge effort to spread our viewing parties around the state so all of our home town fans can have a chance to cheer, have a few drinks and enjoy some great food all in one place… together!
We sat down in August to plan out a schedule, discussed different options with one another about the various counties we come from, and then submitted a poll to our fellow fans to find out where our fans wanted to gather.
Ocean County, specifically the shore area, is the part of Jersey I call home. I couldn't have been more excited to find a location down by me that would play host to a group of our passionate fans.
Simkos Grill in Brielle answered the call and the response from our shore area/south jersey fans was overwhelming. I lost count of how many fantastic people showed up to watch the game together. Simkos provided us with a beautiful glass enclosed porch, with two large screen TVs and surround sound; we filled the room! With over 100 people in attendance, we even took over a portion of the bar room!
Special guest Jim Dowd made the rounds, chatting with fans, posing for photos and signing autographs. He even let us check out his Stanley Cup Championship ring!
We gave away 4 pairs of tickets to various Devils home games in our raffle, and two lucky fans won themselves autographed sticks. One was signed by Ilya Kovalchuk, and the other signed by Patrik Elias.
As a further surprise, our beloved arena announcer, Kevin Clark, joined in the fun! Kevin told me he had never attended a viewing party before, and since this was nearer to his home, he thought he would come and see what it was all about.
Everyone I spoke to said they really enjoyed themselves, the food and the atmosphere. With the Devils treating us to a strong performance and a big win over Pittsburgh, we were attracting some major attention from the other patrons with our chanting and cheering, too!
With three months left in the regular season, and high hopes that we'll be able to continue into the playoffs, keep your eyes on our viewing party schedule. If there is any area we haven't visited, be sure to leave us some ideas in the comments!
I would also like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has come to our gatherings so far. To my fellow shore fans, thank you for making our Simkos party such a huge success! Thanks to you, I can envision more events coming to our area in the future!
New Jersey Devils Viewing Party 11/15: North Brunswick Pub
Tuesday was my first New Jersey Devils viewing party, but it certainly didn't go as planned. The Devils lost a close game, my ride somehow got lost in Morristown for twenty minutes and I missed the entire first period. There was traffic on the Parkway and it was a long day of work. French fries were thrown. Were it any other event, this night would have been a total disaster.
However, my night at North Brunswick Pub defied a troublesome start. A trip far from the friendly confines of the Rock proved more than hospitable when at least 50 Devils fans packed into a bar with more than 20 HD TVs. It was a hockey paradise with drink specials and 35-cent boneless wings.
Grant Marshall of the 2003 Stanley Cup team was there to sign autographs and quite approachable. Fellow general Kevin Lankey went home with four autographed pucks for friends, Marshall talked hockey with anyone who wanted to chat and even posed for photographs. Other autographs were raffled away from Adam Henrique and Patrik Elias. It was a fun night for a few lucky Devils fans.
Though the game didn't go our way, the Devils kept it interesting. Against the defending Stanley Cup champs, our Devils repeatedly battled back before falling in the final minutes to the Boston Bruins. Scoring three goals against Tim Thomas is no small feat and the Devils received goals from David Clarkson and Nick Palmieri. It was Palmieri's first two-goal game of his career.
The result wasn't what we'd hoped for, but the energy throughout the bar was electric and it was a great way to watch an away game. The Devils Generals thank the North Brunswick Pub for being wonderful hosts and turning each of their 20 screens to a great Devils hockey game.
There will be another Devils viewing party in West Hampton next weekend. The Devils Army invades South Jersey for a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. If a night filled with traffic and anger that ends in a loss can be this much fun, Saturday's viewing party is bound to be more exciting. We'll see you there.
Viewing Party: Tuesday, Nov 15th @ North Brunswick Pub – Devils vs. Bruins
What could be more fun than hanging out with a group of fellow hockey fans, enjoying delicious discounted food and drinks, meeting NJ Devils alumni, playing exciting games, taking home fabulous prizes, and watching your NJ Devils take on the reigning Stanley Cup champs on a giant 80 inch HD projector?
Why don't you come find out for yourself? Next Tuesday, November 15, the Devils Army Generals will be hosting our second viewing party of the season as the NJ Devils travel to Beantown to take on the Boston Bruins. As we continue our quest to bring the Devils Army to all corners of New Jersey and beyond, we're venturing into the heart of the Garden State, to the North Brunswick Pub on Route 1 in North Brunswick, NJ.
The North Brunswick Pub is known for its tasty pub grub, reasonable prices, and friendly, casual atmosphere. With multiple large flat-screen TVs, two 80 inch HD projectors, and more, it's the perfect place to recreate that "at the game" feeling. This location was actually suggested to us by a member of the Devils Army on Twitter, and is a favorite among many of my own family and friends.
As always, there will be contests and giveaways, raffles, a silent auction, and an appearance by a member of the Devils alumni – 2003 Stanley Cup Champion Grant Marshall.
If wings are your thing, you're in luck—Tuesday nights at the Pub are "35 Cent Boneless Wing Nights" from 6pm until close! Be sure to check out some of their mouthwatering new sauces, including Mediterranean Feta, Creamy Pesto, Red Pepper Basil, and Garlic Parmesan! There will also be discount pitchers of domestic beer and other food and drink specials to be announced.
The fun starts at 7pm. Come join us at the North Brunswick Pub, located at 1864 Route 1 (on the northbound side) in North Brunswick, NJ. For directions, click here (I have provided directions from the Prudential Center—please make sure to change the starting address to your own).
For more information, please check out and RSVP to our Official Facebook Event. Bring a friend, Get Your Jersey On and we'll see you there!

Viewing Party: Thursday, Nov 3rd @ Edison Ale House – Devils vs. Flyers
The Devils and the Flyers share one of the most brutal rivalries in the NHL. On Thursday November 3rd, come out to Edison Ale House as the New Jersey Devils travel to Philadelphia to take on the Flyers for the second time this season.
Join other members of the Devils Army for hockey and festivities, including great giveaways and a silent auction that you won't want to miss. Be sure to break out your black and red, because rocking your best Devils gear will get you 10% off all food! To wash that down, $15 pitchers will be offered to all of-age, thirsty Devils fans.
Just because the action stops, doesn't mean the fun does. During intermission, show off your knowledge of all things Devils by taking part in some trivia hosted by the Devils Generals. Of course there's always a chance that some great Devils alumni may show up to cheer on our hometown boys alongside the greatest fans in the world, but you'll have to be there to find out!
So Get Your Jersey On and be sure to come out and root for your New Jersey Devils!

I not only learned about the physical work of ecological
restoration, but I also learned how to interact with the
community and the politics that surround the people and
the land.
~Laura Guptill, Internship with Missoula Parks and
My internship allowed me to feel like I am a part of something bigger. The people I got to interact with on a regular basis were incredible and inspirational. ~Jessica Crowley, Internship with the Blackfoot Challenge
The internship took me out of the safety of the classroom
and exposed me to a world where I had to step forward
and rely on myself.
~Liz Bailey, Internship with the Flagship Alternative
"I had never been exposed to such an in-depth study of
land issues... What I have learned is how to think differently,
particularly about the society/culture that I live in
and the land that I live on.
~ Student
Throughout the year, Wilderness and Civilization students engage with a wide range of conservation advocates, land managers, tribal leaders, and innovative landowners. Internships and community service projects provide an opportunity for students to work directly with community organizations or land management agencies on specific projects. Through community engagement, students apply knowledge learned in the classroom to real-world problems, and explore strategies to effectively deal with conflict and make changes. Wilderness and Civilization students offer dozens of hours of community service in the Missoula area. Students may spend a weekend restoring a portion of a Missoula city park, stabilizing the degraded shores of a pond and planting red-osier dogwood, woods rose, choke cherry and other native plants or helping to establish native gardens in city space. They helped build a straw-bale house and advanced Missoula's recycling project. Students also contributed to several citizen science projects, including the annual Clearwater Game Range carcass count and the National Wildlife Federation's sage-grouse survey. |

Each year students intern with a variety of organizations including conservation groups, land trusts, research institutes, farms, schools and education groups, and county, state, and federal land management agencies. Students have interned with these organizations>>
Each year, new Wilderness and Civilization internships are established based on student interests and community needs. For North Slope Sustainable Wood, student Dave Whisenand researched the possibility of acquiring Forest Stewardship Council certification for larch flooring made from small-diameter trees. For the Carhart Center, student Andrea Davidson developed Wilderness management case studies for classroom teaching purposes. For the Missoula Food Bank, student Anna Leslie helped to expand their food recovery program. For the Sierra Club, students Mike Ausman and Kari Musgrove worked on several grassroots campaigns. For Wildlands CPR, student Eliza Donoghue researched and wrote grant proposals. For the Blackfoot Challenge, student Jessica Crowley developed education and outreach materials. For the National Wildlife Federation, student Alicia Hines researched and educated members about the Farm Bill's conservation programs.
Each Spring, Wilderness and Civilization students give
over 300 hours of service to local groups and organizations.
They work at local organic farms, help coordinate the
Wildlife Film festival, work with the community on local
transportation issues, and much more. Students also participate in various
public forums, taking part in city council hearings on local
transportation planning; commenting on Forest Plan Revision
proposals; speaking at a campus food forum; and providing
comments at a BLM planning meeting about development on the
Rocky Mountain Front, and other current issues.

Community Engagement and Service Learning News....
Summer 2008 Wilderness and Civilization student, Brett Klaassen, planned a Climb for Climate on Mount Rainier to raise awareness of climate change and booste climate change education. Another Wilderness and Civilization student, Alaina Abbott, interned as a jounalist in 2008. Read more about Brett's Climb for Climate in an article in the Missoulian by Alaina.
April 2006 Three Wilderness and Civilization
students traveled to New York City to present a poster at
national symposium on Conserving Birds in Human-Dominated
Landscapes at the American Museum of Natural History. Under
the guidance of Visiting Scholar Chris Filardi, students Audra
Labert, Nathan Taylor, and Jessica Crowley presented information
on the immigration of snowy owls into the Mission Valley and
proposed reasons for the shift in the public's attitudes toward
these birds. The symposium gave the students a glimpse into
the complex challenges involved in conserving biodiversity
in lands affected by humans; it reinforced the importance
of community education and involving the public in science,
and helped connect their studies in Western Montana to national
and global affairs.
Wildlands Community Project gives UM students hands-on
Nov. 14, 2005
By BILL SCHWANKE of The Missoulian
Each year since 1998, 20 to 25 University of Montana students
have gotten hands-on intern experience that for some might
lead to fulltime employment in a field they love. It happens
through the Wildlands Community Project, a collaborative effort
of the University of Montana's Wilderness and Civilization
program and numerous Missoula-area organizations.
Instructor and program coordinator Nicky Phear says it gives
students more meaning to their class work.
"It's often the best part of their academic year,"
Phear said Monday. "Very fulfilling and rewarding for
them because they work on issues that are of concern to them.
They get connected into the community and their learning becomes
much more real." More>>
Students Collect Fruit to Protect
Hungry Bears
the Fall of 2004, student collected apples in Missoula's wild/urban
interface to prevent bears from coming into resident's yards
and causing human/wildlife conflicts.
students revive New Crystal Theater
The 2002-2003 Wilderness and Civilization
program ran Missoula's New Crystal Theater as their Community
Service Project during the spring semester. Students chose
to work with the Theater because they saw film as forum for
bringing together community members around important regional
and global issues. The students coordinated films, worked
at the theater, and put on a fundraiser for this Missoula
landmark. Their work helped the struggling Theater continue
to bring more alternative, educational and documentary films
to the area. For the students, running the Theater was an
opportunity to engage the Missoula community and network with
local filmmakers, bakeries, media sources, and community members

Wilderness and Civilization students participate in spring
branding near Emigrant, MT in the Paradise Valley.

Just a suggestion - Will probably get a better response if we knew more info such as US or EU, preferred (or available) raiding times and Alli or Horde. Once folks know that info they can take a look to see what their guild needs are to help decide whether to recruit you or not.
I should have kept quiet and thought a fool then to have typed and removed all doubt.

California voters said ''Hasta la vista, baby'' to Democratic Gov. Gray Davis on Tuesday and voted in Republican candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger. The political novice defeated more than 130 other candidates to become the second movie star elected governor of California (Ronald Reagan was the first), while Davis became the first California chief executive (and the second governor in U.S. history) to succumb to a total recall.
With 96 percent of precincts reporting early Wednesday, the recall passed 54.2 percent to 45.8 percent, with 4,012,912 pro voters and 3,396,890 con voters, the Associated Press reports. Schwarzenegger earned 3,398,746 votes, (47.6 percent), compared to 2,333,687 votes (32.7 percent) for Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, 944,532 votes (13.2 percent) for Republican state Sen. Tom McClintock, and 203,766 votes (2.8 percent) for Green Party candidate Peter Camejo had.
Schwarzenegger, who announced his candidacy Aug. 6, defeated not only these political pros but also 130 or so other 15-minutes-of-fame seekers, including former child star Gary Coleman, porn actress Mary Carey, and watermelon-smashing comic Gallagher. He won despite a barrage of negative publicity in the last few days, with 15 women coming forward to say the former bodybuilding champ had groped or sexually harassed them at various times throughout his 30 years in Hollywood, and with transcripts from outtakes of ''Pumping Iron'' quoting him as admiring Adolf Hitler as a self-made man. The actor said he didn't remember making the comments during the filming of the 1977 documentary that made him famous, and while he accused his opponents of smearing him with the sexual harassment claims, he apologized for having offended anyone by ''behaving badly'' in the past.
Schwarzenegger will take office no later than Nov. 16, once the election results are confirmed, which may take a month. He will serve out the three years remaining in Davis' term; Lt. Gov. Bustamante will also remain in office through 2006. At that time, Schwarzenegger may run again, or he may return to Hollywood, where such promised sequels as ''Terminator 4'' and ''King Conan: Crown of Iron'' have apparently been put on indefinite hold.

My husband is worried that I'm just going to continue to lose weight. I am basically sticking to the way I ate to lose the weight just eating a bit more. I eat small snacks or mini meals throughout the day and I really don't ever want a lot to eat. I think my stomach has shrunk. I average about 1800 calories a day and really am surprised I am still losing. Anyone else have this happen to them?

Attorney General Asks Court to Order American Family Publishers to Provide Information on its Sweepstakes
Miller's Office is investigating whether mailings mislead older Iowans to believe they have won or are close to winning, and that they must make a purchase.
The investigation is under way, according to the application, "because it appears that features of the course of solicitation conducted by American Family may be unfair, deceptive, misleading, or otherwise unlawful" under Iowa's Consumer Fraud Act.
The filing is not a suit alleging fraud or misrepresentation, but is an application asking the Court to enforce the Attorney General's "Demand for Information" that was issued March 18, 1998. The company has failed to produce substantial amounts of information requested by the Attorney General and has not produced information under oath.
The application, which was filed Friday in Polk County District Court argues that the company should provide additional investigative information regarding several concerns:
Chance of winning: The application says "it appears that American Family sweepstakes mailings are intentionally designed" to state or imply that the recipient has won a prize or is in a select group or is close to winning.
The application acknowledges that American Family mailings contain disclaimers indicating the recipient is a potential rather than an actual winner. "However," it says, "such disclaimers appear to be undermined and overborne by contrary messages conveyed by other parts of such mailings with clever presentation and greater emphasis, and by other mailings. Furthermore, the disclaimers were totally ineffective with many vulnerable consumers who truly believed that they had won a valuable prize or who believed that they were among a select group of individuals with a good chance of winning. From a review of the solicitations, American Family appears to have designed and targeted its solicitations and/or repeat solicitations to these vulnerable consumers to foster this belief."
On multiple billings, the application states: "Once a sweepstakes entry with an order is received by American Family, American Family promptly directs an invoice to the consumer. Within days of the first bill being mailed, a second invoice is mailed to the consumer. If the consumer mistakenly pays both invoices, American Family appears to simply treat the second payment as a separate order and/or renewal without notifying the consumer or attempting to determine why a second payment was made or why the consumer would renew a magazine they just subscribed to and had not yet received. This billing scheme can be confusing to vulnerable consumers, particularly the elderly."
The Demand for Information sought information such as identifying Iowans who had made frequent or high-value purchases from American Family, providing information about the company's billing practices, test mailings, complaints, and information the company has on persons who appear to have been misled or mistaken about sweepstakes operations.
The application cited examples of older Iowans who had placed orders for dozens of magazines and other products in 1997 and 1998 in the belief that they were close to winning sweepstakes and that they had to make purchases to enter.
The application asks the Court to order American Family to comply with the Attorney General's Demand for Information, and to prohibit the company from advertising and marketing in Iowa until it has complied.

Johnny Marr unveils video for new single 'The Messenger' - Watch
Johnny Marr has unveiled the video for his first ever solo single, "The Messenger".
As revealed by NME last month, Marr will release his debut solo album, also called The Messenger, on February 25.
The album was recorded in Manchester and Berlin, and mastered at London's Abbey Road by Frank Arkwright. The pair previously worked together on remastering work for The Smiths' box set Complete.
"The Messenger" sees Marr turn frontman after years as star sideman and guitarist-for-hire. He said of the album: "The underlying idea of the record is my experience of growing up in Europe. When you're away from your home city you're more compelled to write about it, whether that's because you're homesick or you've got more objectivity, I don't know. Growing up in the city influences you, and I've continued to see stories and energy in it."
Song titles on the album include "The Right Thing Right", "Upstarts", "European Me" and "I Want The Heartbeat".

Katherine Hull Opens Her Bag
Katherine Hull won the Navistar LPGA Classic Presented by Monaco RV on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, Capitol Hill, Senator Course in Prattville, Ala. Sunday. With a birdie on the 71st hole, Hull got to 19-under to pull one shot ahead of third-round leader Cristie Kerr (72) and Brittany Lincicome (66). A long two-putt par on the 72nd sealed the deal. Hull will cash a $195,000 first-place check for the win, her second on the LPGA (2008 CN Canadian Women's Open.) Hull's 19-under finish broke the tournament record previously held by Lorena Ochoa.
"It's a little overwhelming, actually," Hull said of her post-victory mindset. "It probably won't hit me until later. You just get so focused on executing and just finishing that you don't think about anything else. I'm definitely on a high right now, and probably won't come down for a while."

Apache2 dump active configuration
My question is... Does anyone know or have heard of a way to get a dump of a currently parsed apache configuration file 'httpd.conf' ?
I would appreciate any suggestions as these files are not easily replaced because I have multiple vhosts with mod_rewrite rules and mod_php + mod_perl handlers configured.
Thanks for any help.

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 A wise son is the teaching of the father; but he that is a scorner, heareth not, when he is reproved. (A wise son listeneth to his father's teaching; but he who is a mocker, heareth not, when he is rebuked.) | 1 A wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke. |
2 A man shall be filled with goods of the fruit of his mouth; but the soul of unpious men is wicked. (A good person shall be filled with things from the fruit of his mouth; but the souls of evil people be wicked.) | 2 From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful have a craving for violence. |
3 He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul; but he that is unwary to speak, shall feel evils. (He who guardeth his mouth, keepeth his soul safe; but he who is careless when he speaketh, shall experience evil.) | 3 He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin. |
4 A slow man will, and will not; but the soul of them that work shall be made fat. (A lazy person desireth, and desireth not; but those who do work shall prosper.) | 4 The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. |
5 A just man shall loathe a false word; but a wicked man shameth, and shall be shamed. (The righteous loathe a lie; but the wicked shame, and shall be shamed.) | 5 The righteous hate what is false, but the wicked bring shame and disgrace. |
6 Rightfulness keepeth (safe) the way of an innocent man; but wickedness deceiveth a sinner. | 6 Righteousness guards the man of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. |
7 A man is as rich, when he hath nothing; and a man is as poor, when he is in many riches. (A person can be rich, even when he hath nothing; and a person can be poor, even when he hath many riches.) | 7 One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth. |
8 [The] Redemption of the soul of [a] man is his riches; but he that is poor, suffereth not blaming. (The ransom for a man's life is his riches; but he who is poor, shall not even suffer threats.) | 8 A man's riches may ransom his life, but a poor man hears no threat. |
9 The light of just men maketh glad; but the lantern of wicked men shall be quenched. (The light of the righteous maketh happy, or inspireth; but the lantern of the wicked shall be quenched.) | 9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out. |
10 Strives be ever among proud men; but they that do all things with counsel, be governed by wisdom. (There is always strife, or arguments, among the proud; but they who do all things with advice, be governed by wisdom.) | 10 Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. |
11 Hasted chattel, that is, gotten hastily, shall be made less; but that that is gathered little and little with hand, shall be multiplied (but that which is gathered little by little, shall be multiplied). | 11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow. |
12 Hope which is delayed, tormenteth the soul; a tree of life is (a) desire (that is) coming. | 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. |
13 He that backbiteth anything, bindeth himself into [the] time to coming; but he that dreadeth the commandment, shall live in peace. (He who backbiteth for something said to him, bindeth himself to the time to come; but he who feareth the commandment, shall live in peace.) | 13 He who scorns instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command is rewarded. |
14 The law of a wise man is a well of life; that he bow away from the falling of death, that is, of sin, and of hell. (The teaching of the wise is a well of life; so that thou bow away from the falling of death, that is, from sin, and from hell.) | 14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death. |
15 Good teaching shall give grace; a swallow is in the way of despisers. (Good teaching shall bring favour; a pit is on the way of despisers.) | 15 Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard. |
16 A fell man doeth all things with counsel; but he that is a fool, shall open folly. (A clever person doeth everything with forethought, or only after advice; but he who is a fool, shall lay open his foolishness for all to see.) | 16 Every prudent man acts out of knowledge, but a fool exposes his folly. |
17 The messenger of a wicked man shall fall into evil; a faithful messenger is health. (A wicked messenger shall fall into evil; but a faithful messenger bringeth health/victory/salvation, or deliverance.) | 17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy brings healing. |
18 Neediness and shame is to him that forsaketh teaching; but he that assenteth to a blamer, shall be glorified. (Neediness and shame shall be for him who abandoneth his teaching, or his instruction; but he who assenteth to a rebuker, shall be honoured.) | 18 He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored. |
19 Desire, if it is [ful]filled, delighteth the soul; fools loathe them that flee evils. | 19 A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil. |
20 He that goeth with wise men, shall be wise (He who goeth with the wise, shall be wise); the friend of fools shall be made like them. | 20 He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm. |
21 Evil pursueth sinners; and goods shall be given to just men (but good things shall be given to the righteous). | 21 Misfortune pursues the sinner, but prosperity is the reward of the righteous. |
22 A good man shall leave after him heirs, sons, and the sons of sons; and the chattel of a sinner is kept to a just man. (A good person shall leave heirs after him, yea, sons and daughters, and their sons and daughters; but a sinner's possessions shall be given to the righteous.) | 22 A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children, but a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous. |
23 Many meats be in the new-tilled fields of fathers; and be gathered to other men without doom. (Much food for the poor could be in untilled fields; but other men unjustly keep that land from being worked.) | 23 A poor man's field may produce abundant food, but injustice sweeps it away. |
24 He that spareth the rod, hateth his son; but he that loveth him, teacheth busily (but he who loveth him, busily teacheth him). | 24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him. |
25 A just man eateth, and [ful]filleth his soul; but the womb of wicked men is unable to be filled. (The righteous eat, and fill their hunger; but the bellies of the wicked be unable to be filled.) | 25 The righteous eat to their hearts' content, but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry. |

Leading United Kingdom (U.K.) girls school Benenden School needed to replace its private branch exchange (PBX) telephony system. Having considered offers from four different PBX vendors, the school chose Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Standard Edition for telephony and unified communications. The Microsoft solution cost 40 per cent less than any of the competing offerings. Plus, it is scalable, easily accommodating new accounts for staff and students.
Benenden School, founded in 1923, is one of the leading academic boarding schools for girls aged 11 to 18 years in the U.K. It ranks among its most famous alumni Anne, the Princess Royal. State-of-the-art information and communications technology are vital to the success of any school, and Benenden is no exception. Under Wade Nash, Head of IT Services, Benenden has invested in a range of Microsoft communication and collaboration technologies as well as Hyper-V virtualisation software and the Microsoft System Center suite of products.
However, one pressing challenge was to find a replacement for the existing Nortel Meridian Opt 11 PBX, which was reaching the end of its life cycle and provided 250 phones for 300 staff. With the completion of a new science building, which needed to be equipped with phones, the school had to step up its search for a suitable replacement solution.
Nash, who had previously worked in the telecommunications industry, says: "The system was no longer fit for purpose and it was difficult to acquire new licences for additional phones without upgrading the PBX. We wanted a new IP-based system that would drive the school forward for the next five to 10 years. From our research, we could see the potential additional benefits of unified communications, including presence awareness, instant messaging, and audio and videoconferencing."
Initially, Benenden sought offers from four leading telephony vendors—Mitel, ShoreTel, Cisco, and Avaya—with the lowest quote being £115,000 (U.S.$185,000). Nash says: "We had heard that Microsoft was entering the PBX space with its Wave '14' product suite as an extension of its Microsoft Office Communications Server technology. We wanted to find out more."
Benenden took advice from Modality Systems, which specialises in custom software for unified communications and was Microsoft U.K. Lync Server Voice Partner of the Year in 2011. Nash says: "Modality Systems gave us the confidence to take the first step by carrying out a proof of concept with Microsoft Lync technology. The initial stage involved the IT department, facilities management, accounts, and the director of studies."
After a successful pilot project, Benenden deployed Microsoft Lync Server 2010 alongside its Meridian PBX, subsequently replacing the existing system entirely. Among other supporting technologies, the solution uses Polycom and Snom phones, Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT), Network Equipment Technologies (NET) gateways, and the Quintum Tenor Analogue Gateway. Nash says: "I was surprised at how seamless the rollout was. The team worked with Modality Systems in overcoming complex issues and accommodating the specific needs of some of our users."
Lync Server 2010 interoperates with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, and the Microsoft System Center suite. Benenden is also using Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway for added security.
Modality Systems ensured that during the deployment the PBX continued operating around the clock. It also played a major part in encouraging user adoption of the unified communications features in Lync Server 2010. Tom Arbuthnot, Development Team, Modality Systems, says: "The primary driver for most of the users was voice rather than new unified communications features. But the solution soon proved useful in many different ways—for example, through using Lync Server 2010 for governors' meetings and to interview prospective new overseas staff, avoiding the need to travel."
Benenden School deployed Lync Server 2010 to replace its existing PBX at 40 per cent less than the lowest quote from a PBX vendor. Staff rapidly adopted the unified communications features and now have a flexible and sustainable voice and collaboration infrastructure that can be extended to students. Knowledge transfer and support from an experienced Microsoft partner has ensured resilience and reduced the risk of downtime.
Lync Server 2010 offers value-for-money alternative to new PBX. The lowest quote for a PBX was £115,000, but Microsoft implemented Lync Server 2010 for £70,000—a saving of around 40 per cent, with most of those costs in consultancy and handsets. Nash says: "Benenden took advantage of free Lync Server 2010 licences through the Microsoft Schools Agreement. Effectively, we gave the school a new PBX with full unified communications at no extra cost."
Unified communications features improve staff productivity. Teaching and administration staff are working more productively using the unified communications features in Lync Server 2010, especially staff who need to be mobile. Nash says: "We can set up interactive response groups to handle incoming calls and direct them to different groups of users. Individuals can divert calls to their mobiles while out of the office, making it easier to work more productively."
Experienced partner adds value to the Lync Server 2010 solution. Modality Systems has successfully integrated Lync Server 2010 with the existing Microsoft technologies and delivered customised features, including support for the receipt of fax messages. "Without Modality Systems, we wouldn't have been able to achieve our ambitions in such a short space of time," says Nash.
Students in boarding accommodation will get Lync Server 2010. The next phase of development will involve boarding students getting access to Microsoft Lync through their computers and mobile devices, making around 1,000 licences in total. As a result, students' accounts will be safeguarded against unwanted or inappropriate calls.
Benenden School, located in Kent in the United Kingdom, is among the leading academic boarding schools in the country. It educates 530 girls aged 11 to 18 years.

Blue industry
Another day in the industrial park Landsweiler-Reden with my friend @thejomi I used an old Kodak Vericolor Slide film SO-279. (expired 01/1992) the film is a color negative film who was intended to produce positive images from color negatives. I set the iso to200. but next time i will set it to25. The blue color is awesome. I'm happy to have another 2 rolls of this crazy film.

Waitress pays for soldiers' meal
CONCORD, NH (WKRC) -- When a New Hampshire waitress overheard two of her customers saying they were furloughed soldiers, she decided to help out.
Her simple gesture of appreciation amid the lingering government shutdown has quickly spread online.
The waitress, Sarah Hoidahl, says it was a typical Wednesday afternoon shift her at the Ruby Tuesday in Concord, when two service members came in for lunch and sat in her section.
"They were looking through the menu and trying to decide what to get, and she had mentioned something about the furlough and said 'we're not getting paid,' and I thought oh jeez," she said.
Hoidahl, a single mother of a 15-month-old boy, says she knows how difficult it can be to make ends meet.
"Just thinking to myself: that must really be difficult because just because they income stops, it doesn't mean the bills do."
So, Hoidahl decided to pick up their tab, adding a note on the back of the check to express her gratitude for their service.
The note said, "Thanks to the gov. shutdown the people like you that protect this country are not getting paid. However, I still am. Lunch is on me! Thank you for serving lades! Have a good day!"
She says the reaction she got from the Guard members was more than she expected.
"I came out and they were our front waiting for me and just, instantly, came up to me and said "Sarah" and they hugged me. Their reaction was worth everything and I thought I didn't do thus huge thing -- I just bought you lunch, but thank you!"
News of her kind gesture quickly spread online when the New Hampshire National Guard posted a picture of Sarah and a copy of her note on their Facebook page.
"I think the most moving thing I saw on Facebook was people saying there should be more people like me in the world. That really got to me."
Hoidahl says she has friends who served in the military and her boyfriend is a marine. She admires what they do for us and says this was the least she could do for them.
"I mean they protect this country and they protect citizens like me so, a nice thing to do."

Creating a Healthier Medicaid Population through Collaboration |
As the largest health care insurer in the nation, Medicaid costs reached $466 billion in 2011, for approximately 60 million beneficiaries. However, less than 5% (2.4 million) of Medicaid beneficiaries accounted for 50% of the total spending in 2011.How best do we arm our future healthcare system with the right information at the right time, in order to empower the best decisions, engage the right collaboration and achieve what the government and managed care organizations (MCOs) supporting Medicaid require? Health reform will create a higher influx of Medicaid patients, as physicians and care givers will need to work within bundled payments or shared savings models, all the while reducing or avoiding costs. By the start of 2014, Medicaid eligibility will expand, due to the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). With changes through health reform, nearly all nonelderly Americans who have income levels below 133% of the federal poverty level will be covered through their state's Medicaid program. (2) Common challenges in managing Medicaid beneficiaries include:
With or without health reform, the challenge of managing growing enrollments of Medicaid beneficiaries remains a challenge for all states and their respective agents, managed care plans and state budgets. The answer to the growing challenges is not to continue to short or sever payments to Medicaid providers, but rather to develop clinical integration models that will support collaboration and result in better patient care with reductions in overall costs.

Key Words:
Soap, liquid soap, hand washing, 89 IAC 407, Day Care Centers. |
Approved by: |
Question: The
use of mild liquid soap is required in the diapering and toileting procedures.
Should the use of mild liquid soap also be required in the hand washing
procedures for classrooms?
Citation: Section 407.340 Diapering and Toileting
k) Mild liquid soap and single-use towels
or automatic dryers shall be provided. Towels may be disposable. Automatic
dryers shall not be used for infants and toddlers.
a) Children's hands shall be washed
routinely and frequently with soap and water, at least at the following times:
1) Upon
arrival at the center;
2) Before
and after each meal or snack;
3) After
using the toilet or having diapers changed;
4) After
handling pets or animals;
5) After
wiping or blowing his or her nose;
6) After
touching items soiled with body fluids or wastes (e.g., blood, drool, urine,
stool or vomit);
7) Before
and after cooking or other food experience;
8) After
outdoor play time; and
9) Before
and after using the water table.
c) The following technique for thorough
hand-washing shall be used:
1) Wet
hands under warm running water.
2) Lather
both hands well and scrub vigorously for at least 15 seconds.
3) Rinse
hands thoroughly under warm running water.
4) Dry
both hands with a new single-use towel or automatic dryer.
5) For
hand-held faucets, turn off the water using a disposable towel instead of bare
hands to avoid recontamination of clean hands.
When children are
too young to wash hands by themselves, staff shall wash their hands using the
above technique. As children are developmentally ready, staff shall teach
children the proper hand-washing technique and assist and supervise the
procedure as needed.
Discussion: The
rule does require the use of mild liquid soap in toileting procedures. In the
Hand Washing Procedures no mention is made of the type of soap to be used since
it is the physical action of hand-washing, not the type of soap that removes
soil. However the National Health and
Safety Performance Standards state that "bar soap or liquid soap may be used by
staff, as both are equally effective. However, children should use liquid soap,
as they do not have the dexterity to handle a bar of soap." The intent of this
standard is to make it easier for young, preschool age children to be able to
wash their hands.
Department does recommend the use of mild liquid soap for young preschool age
children in the hand washing procedures but the Department does not require it
in rule. The use of bar soap for school-age children is acceptable.
Response: The use of mild liquid soap shall be required for diapering and toileting procedures, but the rule does not require the use of mild liquid soap in the hand-washing procedures. Liquid soap is recommended for preschool children because of their limited dexterity to handle bar soap when washing hands.

Mike Newell Drops Early Prince of Persia Details!
What's Stonehenge got to do with Sands of Time?
"It's not a video game movie," Newell said. "It's a great story. If you had read the script, you would know that it wasn't a video game. It's very exciting and it's immensely romantic and it's like Lost Horizon. It takes you to somewhere you've never been."
The film's script comes courtesy of game creator Jordan Mechner and Day After Tomorrow writer Jeffrey Nachmanoff, based on the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time entry in the multi-game series. The story in Sands of Time involves the titular prince, a magical dagger, a giant sand-filled hourglass, and loads of adventure.
Newell has an assistant playing the video games to brief him on key details. "There's so much that will happen with that story because it's 1300 years ago. This girl who was actually a kind of priest... I'm sorry, I've been on it five days. I'm full of f***ing ideas. It'll be terrific."
One last tidbit before his publicist pulled him away involves an international landmark. "You know what Stonehenge is? Stonehenge is a machine that tells you that the world will survive because every year the sun comes up in exactly the same place."

I'm a new member and a bee keeping hobbiest w/ about 3 yrs experience. Last year, I purchased some new supers and plastic frames from Mann Lake. I believe these are made in China and coated with wax (perhaps my bees don't like chinese wax?), but the bees seem to absolutely hate them. I tried mixing them between my drawn comb wood frames, but they typically over-drew the comb in the wood frames (stretching into the space of the new frames) and made very shallow comb on the plastic frames if they did anything with them at all. Many frames had the wax coating actually removed.
Either I'm doing something wrong or these frames don't work. I am contemplating recoating these frames with wax from my hives (HOW?) or pitching them and buying new. Can someone help me out with this? FWIW, I'm in central Iowa and using Buckfast bees which have been very good to me in the past. Thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:
This is inevitably one of those questions where you ask five different beekeepers and you'll get six different answers. Some will attest to loving plastic frames (and/or foundation) and others will come down squarely on the side of detesting them! (I'm inclined toward the latter, myself). I would say that experience is the best teacher in this matter but the problem with that, is it takes so many years of "trying" before you learn the lesson. By the time you've learned, you've spent lots of money and perhaps your youth. |

I have plastic too and the bees did fine......but you should give them ether all plastic or all wood. I packaged this spring 2 hives in plain plastic pierco foundation [deep] and the Queen laid at the first day of installment. Bees always like wood and wax best but if they have nothing else but plastic it works too. It helps to spray the waxed foundation with sugar water first. Konrad |
I have had lots of problems with my plastic frames lately, too. I had an established hive with plastic frames in the hive body. When I supered them last summer, it was with plastic frames. They actually swarmed rather than drawing out the plastic frames. Luckily, they didn't go far and I caught my own swarm. |
Huge problems with plastic frames, yet some of us have had some better luck, in at least some hives. My experience is that you must always feed when you put on undrawn frames, especially plastic. Second, I believe beeswax foundation is of better quality than the stuff sprayed on these plastic frames. Finally, not all brands are the same. I had good luck with pierco frames and pierco foundation in wood frames. |

This is pierco plastic and the bees did great. Konrad |
That's a beautiful frame of honey! Judging by no propolis stains on the frame, I take it, that was a brand new frame. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up and what it looks like after two or three seasons of use. I do have one little observation I'll comment on - with respect to your bee suite. Specifically the helmet (hat). |

I also noticed that if you mix wooden and plastic frames you'll have problems. I tried intermixing. Box of plastic on top of box of wood. Bees do like wooden frames best. Had swarms too, they look at plastic as 'no space left'. Feeding to draw out comb works well. However I am buying all plastic fro now on. So much less hassle and the bees deal just fine. Pierco gives out a info sheet with frames, ask where you buy them and it wil answer many questions. |

Not that you'll ever have problems with them up where you're located but I learned a valuable lesson with a similar hat/veil combination: AHBs will get through the vents in that helmet! (they only had to prove it to me once) Being new to beekeeping, I don"t know some of the abbreviations. Can you tell me what AHBs are? Thanks, Paul. |
EHB = European Honeybee AHB = Africanized Honeybee aka, Killer bees; A. mellifera scutellata (or more correctly, their decendants) Next birthday, ask for a year's subscription to Bee Culture or American Bee Journal. |

The Violent Femmes may or may not be done for good, but singer Gordon Gano has continued making music. This September, he'll release his second solo album, Under the Sun, on Yep Roc records. The record pairs him with "The Ryans," a pair of New York brothers who have scored some unloved films, including Fever Pitch and The Heartbreak Kid, while playing in a band called The Bogmen.

Commemorating 9/11
September 19, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Detroit Area Muslims Observe Anniversary
By Adil James, TMO
Farmington–September 11th–The 9/11 terror attacks and the subsequent scrutiny on the Muslim community has lasted until this date 10 years after the event.
Muslims have attempted to rebuild ties and bridges of mutual trust and understanding on this 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy through a multitude of different events.
Imams spoke at a CIOM event in Dearborn on the morning of the anniversary, and before the anniversary came, there was a huge food distribution done in Flint, also in the name of rebuilding connections. Muslims across the nation, individually and through their organizations, also attempted to show their mercy and compassion for 9/11 victims by offering prayers and words of solace to the 9/11 families.
In this issue of The Muslim Observer, we have attempted to collect some reports from around the country of Muslim events to honor the memory of the tragic events of 9/11. The following Michigan events are not an exhaustive list of 9/11 commemorations, but a few good examples.
The Flint event distributed food to "about 1,000 families," according to Iman Meyer-Hoffman, interfaith director of the As-Siddiq Mosque, from which food was distributed this past Thursday at 5:00PM.
Each family recipient had to show a distinct i.d. in order to receive food, and the 1,000 family representatives who picked up food at the mosque came in about 300 carloads, showing Michigan's desperate economic position after years of recession and layoffs.
The Flint Islamic Center in coordination with the As-Siddiq Institute and Mosque and the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan arranged the event. Ms. Meyer-Hoffman said of the event that "the two mosques felt it was important for the community to work together."
Flint Islamic Center coordinators for the event were Bilal Ali, Mohammed Aslam, and Macksood Aftab. They publicized the event extremely well, and planned it well also–occurring several days before almost all 9-11 celebrations it successfully attracted a great deal of attention and put Muslims in a very good light by helping them to serve the real needs of the larger community.
The immense enthusiasm of Mr. Aftab in building media knowledge about the event and advertising the event to local non-Muslims helped to make it a success.
"We are doing this because we are part of this community and this country. Most Muslims are peaceful people who care about others," said Meyer-Hoffman.
PWAM Acts of Kindness
The Pakistani Women's Association of Michigan was one of the other organizations to hold an event to commemorate 9/11.
The organization, in association with CIOM and other organizations, took advantage of the event to discuss past contributions, including helping out at Interfaith Health Fair and Soup Kitchen at the Muslim Center Detroit, as well as active involvement in the annual CIOM Unity Dinner.
Here, PWAM partnered with CIOM, ACCESS, the Interfaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit, the City of Detroit, United Way, WISDOM, J-Serve and Focus: HOPE, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, the Jewish Community Relations Council, Arts & Scraps, and Detroit's Cities of Service "Believe in Detroit" Campaign to participate in the "Acts Of Kindness, Transforming 9/11" which had been called for by President Obama to counteract the incredibly negative and divisive event which took place ten years ago.
Hundreds of volunteers participated in projects such as park beautification, vacant lot clean-up, food packaging, sorting art supplies for local schools, and writing thank you cards to U.S. troops serving abroad. As they worked side by side, their energy and dedication helped transform 9/11 into a day of learning about each other's interests, families, and faith traditions. After the projects were completed, there was a structured dialogue series designed to increase tolerance and understanding, with the goal of promoting a sense of unity, peace, community-building, and mutual understanding.
In Dearborn the morning of 9/11 was marked by a well-coordinated event at which several prominent local imams had the opportunity to speak about 9/11 and its broader meaning to Muslims after 10 years have elapsed.
This event was held at the prominent Islamic Center of America (ICA), said to be the largest mosque in America–a huge mosque on Ford Road in Dearborn that unfortunately has served as a lightning rod for criticism of the Muslim community.
The CIOM statement about the ICA event stated that "The tragedy … will never be forgotten… The date brings back painful memories. American Muslims…. wish for our fellow Americans to begin a renewed era of understanding, tolerance, freedom and justice for all."
One of the prime movers for this event was Ghalib Begg of CIOM, known for his leadership and and hard work, and for his political and interfaith connections.
Some of the prominent imams present were Imam Elahi of the Islamic House of Wisdom, Imam Qazwini of the ICA, Imam El-Turk of IONA, Imam El-Amin of the Muslim Unity Center in Detroit, Imam Aly Lela of IAGD, Shaykh Ali Sulayman Ali of MCWS, Imam Kilyani, Imam Al-Azom, and Imam Dawud Walid, Executive Director of CAIR-Michigan.
Imam Elahi said at the ICA that the tragic terrorist attacks of 9/11 constituted a crime, against Americans but also against Islam, agains the teachings of Islam–over 90 nationalities were among the victims, including many Muslims. "We as Muslims joined to show solidarity with the victims."
The tenth anniversary, he said, was a day of prayer for the victims, to show national unity, to build dialogue and interfaith cooperation, to build towards "a better America, with justice, peace, and working together."
He said of 9/11 that it could have been a much worse event, and that the calm and involvement of Muslim and non-Muslim community leaders in the aftermath had managed the event to avoid it being worse for all concerned.
Following the ICA event there were other commemorations attended by prominent Muslim speakers all over the Detroit area and literally all day long, so that the scheduling for the events shortened the ICA event; similar events were held at mosques, churches, and synagogues.

Islamic Ctr of Long Island expansion
LONG ISLAND,NY–This is one case of continuing expansion. The Islamic Center of Long Island was formed in 1982. Ever since then it has evolved from a small brick home to its current home of 10, 000 square foot of facilities including a mosque, library, classroom, and administrative office. Last month it announced that it is again expanding to meet the needs of its growing congregants.
According to West Bury Times the ICLI is seeking to build a a three story, 19,000 square addition to the existing structure. It has purchases four adjoining homes and construct a parking area. It will add 87 parking spots as compared with the current 35. But it is still short of 221 spots as required by the by-laws. Therefore the center has filed an application with the zoning board to receive a parking variance.
A hearing on the application is expected to be held on Nov.16.
Investigation into imam's death ends
YERMO,CA– The San Bernardino County Sherriff's Department has stated that its investigation into the mysterious death of a local Muslim in a house fire hasn't produced any results and that the case is being now shelved. They have been unable to find any clues or suspects.
Ali Mohammed died on June 27 while visiting a property that his family had moved out of when suddenly the building was enveloped in flames.
Investigators had earlier claimed that the fire was human-caused and not a result of faulty equipment.
The same property was repeatedly the target of vandalism and hate attacks.
Police investigate break-in at mosque
DURHAM, NC–Durham police are investigating a break-in at the Masjid Ibad Ar-Rahman mosque, 3034 Fayetteville St.
Mosque leaders found windows and doors broken early on the morning of Nov. 2. They said two flat-screen monitors, a printer and a computer were stolen.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Durham police Investigator K. D. Emanuel at 919-560-4415, ext. 29306, or Crime Stoppers at 919-683-1200.
Lackawanna halal facility opposed
LACKAWANNA, NEW YORK–Angry protestors vent their voices at the Lackawanna City Council last Tuesday night to protest a plan for a halal slaughterhouse in the area. The protestors and those in the council supporting them appeared to be ill informed on the halal method.
"I did research the Halal method and I'm not happy with what I read," said First Ward Councilmember Andrea Haxton, according to WNED.
It was not readily apparent what kind of research she did.
City Council members told the citizens they had nothing to do with approval of the meat facility and can't stop it even if they are opposed.
"It has not and will not come in front of city council because we have, unfortunately, no role in this," said Councilmember Geoffrey Szymanski.
The slaughterhouse is expected to open within a few months.
J&K Elections: Voters' Message Beyond The Ballot vs. Bullet Fight
December 31, 2008 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, MMNS India Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Despite the Jammu and Kashmir elections having thrown a hung assembly, ruling out prospects of single-party government in the India-occupied state, unlike the previous ones, these polls carry a different message. Though the elections were held with terrorism, as has been the routine in the past, bringing Indo-Pak diplomacy to the stage of tension, this time the issue of militancy in J&K was pushed to the backstage. It was overshadowed by excessive noise made in the subcontinent and elsewhere over terror-strikes in Mumbai, with India blaming Pakistan-based groups as responsible for these. The reported casualty in these elections was 12 civilian and five security personnel, compared to 220 civilian and 148 security personnel killed in the 2002 polls. This suggests a fall of 86 percent in militancy related incidents in 2008 polls against that in 2002.
Equally noteworthy is the large turnout of voters, 63.21 percent while that in 2002 was 44 percent. "In the last one year, there has been a reduction in militancy-related incidents and hence the fear factor was not there. The real success is wherever there was low percentage in the last elections, there was higher turnout this time and it showed that people wanted to participate in the democratic process in a big way," according to Chief Election Commissioner N. Gopalaswami.
Notwithstanding the tensed Indo-Pak ties, marked by war-hysteria in certain political circles as well as media, amazingly these did not have any negative impact on the atmosphere in the J&K. Trade across the much-disputed Line-of-Control continued despite Indo-Pak animosity reaching a new height over Mumbai terror strikes. The cross-border trade, which began from October 21, continued amid the hype raised about India and Pakistan being near a war-like stage. For instance, earlier this month, as expressed by sources in Jammu: "A trader from Pakistan has sent a truckload of 150 boxes of oranges and 100 boxes of pomegranates besides 252 pairs of special Peshawari sandals to a business firm in Poonch." The Indian firm had sent a consignment of 2,200 kg of tomatoes on December 23 as demanded by the Pakistan trader, they said.
Opening of LoC for trade between the two sides apparently has had a major influence on pulling Kashmiris towards the ballot box. This has assumed a yet greater importance in view of the weeks before the polls spelling tension within the state over Amarnath-issue. The three-month long tension, also marked by economic blockade of the Valley by extremist Hindu groups in Jammu, at one point even raised speculation whether the elections would be held in time. Amid this backdrop, the opening of the LoC for trade certainly carried a new meaning for Kashmiris (primarily Muslims) in the Valley. Even though trade across LoC has yet to reach substantial proportions, that it has begun, certainly signals a new importance being given to their economic concerns. The beginning of cross-border trade at LoC at least signals that Indo-Pak dispute over Kashmir has been – at least now – pushed to the background, with economic concerns of Kashmiris being given greater importance. This is indeed a major move for average Kashmiris, who till the last elections, only seemed to be caught needlessly between the bullet and the ballot, with neither spelling a solution to their socio-economic problems.
Despite the Amarnath-row signaling a clear split, marked by polarization of votes, between Jammu and Kashmir, it is not without reason that Kashmiri voters turned out in greater numbers than before to cast their vote. Thus even though the Congress party won fewer seats this time (17) than in 2002, when it won 20, the party leaders have welcomed the results. "The large turnout of voters is a vote for democracy. It is a vote for national integration. As far as who wins or who loses is a secondary issue," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said. Giving emphasis to electoral results carrying little importance than people's participation, Congress President Sonia Gandhi said: "I have been saying from the very beginning that it dose not matter who wins, what matters is that the people of the Valley, the people of Jammu, the people of Jammu and Kashmir have placed their full faith in the democratic system which is a lesson to be learnt by our neighbors." Highlighting the holding of state elections as scheduled, Gandhi said: "I have been saying from the very beginning that elections should be held in time and I am glad that they were held in time.
Compared to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) having won only a single seat in 2002, this time it has managed to win 11. While some hold the Amarnath land-row as responsible for BJP's gain, with there being split between Jammu and Kashmir on religious lines, others hold the poll outcome as reflection of voters "regional" divide.
In the 87-member assembly, the National Conference (NC) has emerged the party winning the maximum number of seats (28), followed by People's Democratic Party (21), Congress (17), BJP (11), National Panthers Party (3), with one each gained by Communist Party of India-Marxist, Democratic Party Nationalist, People's Democratic Front and four won by independents.
Notwithstanding the fact that a hung assembly carries apprehension of political instability in the state, by turning out in large numbers the voters have send a strong message. They have defied the separatists' call for boycott of polls. This may not have been possible if security measures had not been enhanced and had the trade across the LoC not been opened. Though the turnout was still less than in 1987, which was more than 70 percent, it carries a great significance. The Kashmiris have taken a major step forward to display their preference for peace in the region. For the Kashmiris and the government, the significance of 2008 elections should not be confined to their having cast their votes in large numbers. Now, it is for the center to ensure that Kashmiris' hopes expressed through the ballot boxes are not defeated by bullets!

Very easy to make and not too eggy. I would add mushrooms and more green onions and reduce some of the spinach, but the basic recipe was very good. I never liked quiche until now.
SIMPLY OUTSTANDING!! I doubled the recipe and instead of cheddar, I made it with Gruyere. FABULOUS. Everyone LOVED the puff pastry crust and 3 people asked me for the recipe. What a success!
