beautiful Deborah from Metairie, LA– Verified Buyer my daughter bought this for her first baby due in october, and despite very small manufacturing issues (one hole too big for a screw) which her husband easily fixed by getting a larger screw, the bed is simply stunning and extremely sturdy. |
Great product Jenny from huntersville, NC– Verified Buyer This crib fit perfectly into my daughters nursury. It matched the description and is mostly well made. We have white, and the bottom rail looks a little cheaper than the rest of the crib...but it is sturdy and does the job fine. It was a great price and worth the money. The changing pad is not made anywhere...it comes with a tiny thin one that isnt thich enough. We bought a standard size one and cut it down. It was annoying, but worked. |
Mrs. Holly from Virginia Beach, VA– Verified Buyer Very Beautiful! We like the changer station attached to the side. It was not hard to put it together! |
My grandsons crib Beverly from MILLERTON, NY– Verified Buyer This crib is beautiful, I was extremely pleased with my experience with ordering with this company. |

The financial status of Maine's Medicaid program has drawn new cries of alarm from Republican lawmakers. But Gov. John Baldacci's budget chief says the GOP math is flawed.The Legislature's top Republican leaders, backed up by prominent House and Senate colleagues, issued a joint blast late Friday accusing the Baldacci administration of seeking to bury news that the state MaineCare program – as Medicaid in Maine is known – faces a $235 million shortfall through June 30.Commissioner Ryan Low of the state Department of Administrative and Financial Services said Saturday the General Fund shortfall was $65 million. He said the figure of $235 million would represent not only the state's portion but the federal share of the jointly funded health care program.
Music lovers who turned out for a symphony concert Sunday afternoon also had the chance to help feed their hungry neighbors.The Bangor Symphony Orchestra took part in a national food drive organized by the League of American Orchestras.They asked patrons to bring non-perishable food items to today's concert at the Collins Center for the Arts in Orono.The food will be donated to the Good Shepherd Food Bank, which will then distribute it to food pantries, cupboards and shelters across the state.Good Shepherd staffers say the timing of the food drive couldn't have been better since the demand for food is up by about thirty percent."so we tried to figure out any possible way to help those less fortunate people, and the bangor symphony orchestra helped a lot."So far, more than 200 orchestras from all 50 states have held food drives at their concerts.
Another year of the Eastern Maine Sportsmen's Show is in the books, and it looks like it was a huge success.This was the 71st year the show has taken over the fieldhouse at the University of Maine in Orono.More than 150 vendors were on hand, selling everything from sporting goods to beef jerky.There were also plenty of live shows and demonstrations: even a personal flotation device fashion show featuring the Umaine cheerleaders!Organizers say this year's turnout was fantastic, even though the weather had many folks outside.They say the tough economy doesn't seem to be keeping outdoor enthusiasts from buying.The folks from the Penobscot County Conservation Association use money from the admission fees for scholarships for students at schools like the University of Maine and Unity college.That money will also help send about fifty kids to conservation camp this summer.
Dozens of families came out to the bangor mall this morning, for a very special story time.Mike and Mike, from the Kiss 94.5 morning show, read out loud to members of the Simon Kidgets club.The club, open to kids 3 through 8, gets together 9 times a year for special events based on education, heath and wellness.This event centered around getting kids excited about reading.Director of mall marketing, Kimberly Reid, says membership in the club costs just 5 dollars.She says it a great value, and an easy way for kids and their parents to get together and have a little fun.Right now, the club has over 500 members."It's a great time and we encourage people to come and visit our tenants. There are coupon offers from our tenants at the club, so it's just really terrific for us, and the children have a good time."Kids got to listen to six stories today, including "Maisy Goes To The Library", and "Babar-A Gift For Mother"….The folks from Simon Kidgets were also collecting gently used books to folks who need them.Not only did families donate their used books.We're told many of the children in attendance brought their pennies along to give to the Children's Miracle Network.
Organizers say this year's CMN radiothon a great success.Folks from Blueberry Broadcasting have been at the bangor mall since early Thursday morning, trying to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network.They've been collecting change and donations, and taking pledges, all while sharing stories of children who have benefited from the services CMN helps to provide.Terri Sleeper, Director of donor services with Eastern Maine Healthcare Charities, says despite a slumping economy, folks have been happy to give."They've really been better than last year. In the state of Maine, people are supporting their neighbors. We support everybody, even in times of need. And our children need care. And no child is ever turned away from any of our hospitals, and Children's Miracle Network is here to help the children.">Sleeper say she thinks they have tripled what they did in collections last year.And she says, anyone can be a Miracle Maker, pledging 10 dollars a month, or 30-cents a day, to help kids in need.Sleeper says last year, CMN helped over 147-thousand kids, from Waterville to Fort Kent.

Officials with the University of Maine and the CDC are still looking into an incident that left several people sick after a swim meet.More than 600 swimmers, spectators, and coaches were at Umaine's Wallace Pool last weekend.Many of the folks attending the 2009 winter combined championships complained of eye irritation and respiratory issues .That prompted university officials and the CDC to look in to what was causing the symptoms.They discovered that two large ventilation fans had been switched off, causing an unsafe level of chlorine to build up in the air.University spokesman Joe Carr says it does not appear the fans were malfunctioning."When the switches were turned back on this week, everything worked just fine. So there's nothing wrong with the heating or ventilation system itself. It's just that the fans were, for some reason, switched off, and that caused it not to be working properly."Carr says he doesn't think the fans were off as a result of vandalism.It's still unclear when the fans were turned off, and for what reason.

Former Bangor mayor Richard Greene was in court on a drunk driving charge for the second time in as many days.Greene was arrested Thursday night in Bangor at the Holiday Inn for operating under the influence.Just hours earlier, he'd been in court, being arraigned on an OUI charge from Wednesday.He's now charged with two counts each of OUI, and violation of bail conditions.District Attorney Chris Almy says, "He's going to probably spend some time in jail because of these two new cases, and he'll have to pay a large amount of fines, and he's going to get his license suspended for a long period of time."Prosecutors have filed a motion to revoke Greene's bail on the first OUI charge.They'll hold a hearing on that Tuesday.Until then, Greene stays behind bars.

So we run the whole spectrum."Over 20 Rockland businesses are taking part in this year's event, including the Pastry Garden, where they'll be making a special Irish chocolate treat."I think it's just nice to see, in the middle of winter, our downtown sort of come alive in a special way."Over at the Lily Bistro, chef Lynette Mosher will be teaching folks the art of the chocolate ganache."Given the economy, and given that this particular event, there's all these participating places..be it the farnsworth or the boat house or Amalfi..all of the other restaurants that are working with this. I think it's a terrific value for people. And to be able to see all these different things. Also, everybody is providing samples, and who doesn't like free samples."And over at AMALFI, chef David Cook has some decadent desserts featuring…"A little bit of chocolate and a smile."Some of the proceeds from the event will go to help a local food pantry.And there's even a "chocolate express" to help shuttle folks from stop to stop.Organizers hope the event brings people outside to enjoy everything Rockland's downtown has to offer."We wanted an event that kind of celebrates the transition and gets people feeling good and wanting to get outside and enjoy this time of year–and you know, frankly, chocolates are a great venue for doing that."Tickets to the Chocolate March are 20 dollars, and can be purchased at any participating inn.Or for more information, you can call the Limerock Inn, at 594-2257.There are also details online at WWW.HISTORICINNSOFROCKLAND.COM.
There are seven active hunt preserves in the state where hunters pay a fee to hunt game in confined areas. With a move in Augusta to make them illegal preserve owners like Marc Luce are having to try to save the industry. Luce, who owns Hindsite Deer Hunt Preserve in Newport says there is plenty of misinformation regarding guided hunts including how the animals are killed and that the hunters are inexperienced. Supporters of legislation to ban preserves say the industry is not profitable in Maine. In 2007 the department of agriculture took in about 10-thousand dollars from license and tag fees. Maine Friends of Animals Director Robert Fisk is pushing the ban saying the "canned hunts" are unethical and inhumane. Fisk is familar to trying to change the law as the banning issue came up in the 90's when it was turned down by lawmakers.
Another paper mill is forced to make cut-backs to weather the economic storm. Lincoln Paper and Tissue has announced plans to temporarily layoff 17 employees, cut-back the hours of maintenance workers, and lower the salaries of others by 15 percent.The global pulp and paper market has gone through a sharp economic downturn, and it's really hitting home here in Maine."We've seen it in the past and we'll see it now."Temporary layoffs and cut-backs were just announced for Lincoln Paper and Tissue, and some people fear the worst is yet to come."Do you think it's really gonna effect this area?" TV5 asked a concerned citizen, "Yup, sure is, look at Millinocket." he replied.Years ago the Lincoln mill was on the brink of closing. Keith Vanscotter, the CEO, bought the mill and saved it. He says these layoffs and cut-backs are temporary. They're scheduled to last 3 months, and Vanscotter hopes it's even less. Some in the community think it's a smart move. "Right now we're hoping it's more of a preventative measure that they're taking. I think it's a wise choice on their part in view of what the market is right now." Says Larry Smart, owner of Smart's True Value in Lincoln.The effects of mill layoffs radiate throughout the community. Local businesses are likely to feel the pinch as well."It will have an effect on us because the money is short anyway, and this is just gonna add to it." Says Nancy Kilbride, a cashier at Lincoln's Steaks N'Stuff."With their loss of income it most definitely, I'm thinking, will effect our business personally." Sean Sibley, a worker at Pat's Pizza, explains.The Governor's office is staying positive because the layoffs are only temporary, and say they 'will continue to work with the mill to help the effected workers.' Overall, the community is trying to make the best of it and come together."Short term I don't think it will be devastating. Last time this happened to the mill, when they closed we found that people were taking the time to do some things at home, while they had a chance. So I'm hoping maybe this time it might be the same." says Smart."People in Lincoln are very supportive, very supportive, from the kids all the way up." adds Kilbride.
Lincoln Council deadlocked over the First Wind TIF on Monday night.The councilors voted 3-3.First Wind has plans to build 40 wind turbines in the area.The TIF that was proposed would have been a 60 – 40 split in favor of First Wind.Stephen Clay, Town Council Chairman, says he's not sure why the council deadlocked, but he says people in Lincoln seem to be in favor of the plan.Clay says it would be good for economic development in the area. "It generates revenue for the town. If we do TIF it we're able to do some projects that if we normally did them we'd have to tax the tax payer to do them. This way the tax rate doesn't go sky high doing these project."Clay says some of the projects include general repairs to the town that would take place over 20 years.The Council is having another meeting later in the month to negotiate a different TIF.
It's a tough loss for the folks in the Blue Hill area.Officials at Blue hill Memorial Hospital say financial problems are forcing them to close the obstetrics department.Last month, the board of trustees voted to close the department as part of an economic turnaround plan unless 600-thousand dollars could be raised to keep it open.Supporters raised a large amount of money, but they fell short of the goal.Interim CEO, Doctor Erik Steele says "it's especially difficult to announce this closure given the tremendous efforts to save the program".The unit is scheduled to close at the end of May.

For the past five years, students at Brewer Middle School have hosted college kids from Japan.Tuesday 14 students from the other side of the globe were in the halls with the kids from Brewer.Going to classes with them and experiencing a day in the life of an American student like 7th grader Nicole Vieira."It's something different to do than to watch other people do it and it's a good opportunity to talk to them.""I thought it would be really cool to have a Japanese Shadow follow me around for the day because they sound really interesting from what they said and they are, they're actually really fun and they're interesting to talk to." said 7th grader Megan Pike.The Japanese students are in college and are just learning the English Language. The Brewer students are in middle school and speak no Japanese, but they were in class together all day.The students that were supposed to be at home, were the most nervous like Nicole."Well I knew that they had to study a lot of English and I wanted them to like me and not be confused when I talk to them so I'm kinda like nervous in a way to meet them."At Hirosaki University, the students are studying a variety of courses. One wants to be an English teacher, so she felt this program would give her a chance to practice what she has learned."In Japan I have no chance to speak English, so I have to come and I have to experience in America so I decided this program." said 21 year old Haruna Hanamaka.For the last few years, Brewer has been requested by the faculty at Hirosaki University. It teaches them a lot about what a day is like for a typical American student. The Brewer students also learn something new according to their math teacher Cathy Atwood."I want the Brewer kids to realize that people from other cultures and other countries are people. Some of the students you talked to said they could never do this but seeing students who are doing this can give them the idea that may be they could do it, it's not such an impossible task."

Richard Wagner (1813–83) was one of the most significant figures in the history of opera. Through his music dramas he introduced extraordinary innovations that transformed the course of music. His works remain an exhilarating challenge for any opera house, none more so than his 15-hour four-opera epic Der Ring des Nibelungen.
Wagner was born in Leipzig and discovered his genius for music early on. He absconded from his first job when he fell in love with the actress Minna Planer, whom he married in 1836. The tempestuous couple were continually dogged by debt, and twice had to smuggle themselves past border guards to evade warrants for Wagner's arrest. In 1839 they escaped to Paris, where Wagner spent two dismal years failing to get his music performed and developed a profound contempt for the French – but his time in the home of grand opera had an immense influence on his music. Success finally came for Wagner in 1842 with the Dresden premiere of Rienzi, followed soon after by Der fliegende Holländer and Tannhäuser. Wagner's involvement in a failed political coup meant he and Minna were on the run again in 1848, and Wagner missed the 1850 premiere of Lohengrin while exiled in Switzerland. The backing of the eccentric King Ludwig II gave Wagner, temporarily at least, a position in Munich from 1864. Although Wagner was forced to leave the city in 1865 when public opinion turned against him, the premieres of Das Rheingold (1869), Die Walküre (1870), Tristan und Isolde (1865) and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (1868) were all given in the Bavarian capital. Over several years Wagner scraped together enough funding to realize his great dream, for an opera festival dedicated exclusively to his music. The inaugural Bayreuth Festival was held in 1876 and opened with the first performance of the complete Der Ring des Nibelungen, staged in an opera house especially built for it. Wagner's final opera, Parsifal, was first performed at Bayreuth in 1882, a few months before his death.
Fiercely political and determinedly outspoken, Wagner was never far from controversy. His personal life was no less tumultuous, but in 1864 he won a kind of stability with Liszt's daughter Cosima von Bülow. The couple had three children, and eventually married in 1870.

Molto Deludente
Posted Jan 7, 2015Location: è circa 25 minuti di auto dal centro di Las Vegas
Si tratta di un Motel con ampio spazio di parcheggio, l'entrata con reception è veramente piccola e c'e un solo ascensore tra l'altro molto lento. a noi avevano assegnato una stanza al 3 piano che una volta arrivato alla stanza la chiava non apriva. scendo e mi faccio rifare la chiave e dopo 10 minuti risalgo per scoprire che la stanza era occupato !! Ci cambiano stanza dopo altri 10 minuti con il personale non troppo cortese. La colazione è minima e non di qualità tanto è vero che non ne abbiamo usofruito.

I stay at Marriotts often (Gold Elite) but for this trip someone else booked travel (via Priceline) so I couldn't apply my member number. Being a "normal" guest at this hotel is not pleasant. My reservation was booked as Twin or Double bed room and at checkin I was asked if Twin beds were ok. I'm 6'4" so I asked if there were any Doubles available. The answer was no I'm sorry that is all that is left. I came to the front desk very shortly later for something else and was behind someone who was asked if they wanted Twin or Double bed and they took a Double...
The room (3049) was the furthest room away from the lifts closest to the runway. The room was a shade above freezing and having the heat on full blast all night still did not bring the room to a comfortable temperature by morning. The tile was freezing and the water took an eternity to get warm.
On the plus side the bar area is nice, you can walk to the Three Magpies, and the airport is right there.
I'll look to stay at the "real" Marriott next time.

Visual Data Solutions Identity
Client: Visual Data Solutions
Date: August 2014
Lifting your brand sometimes just requires taking a leap of faith. In the case of VDS, an engineering company specializing in digital applications, Visual Data Solutions wanted their identity to reflect their expertise as leaders in the software development industry.
Enter Imagery. Taking into consideration some of the old brand attributes for inspiration, we emphasized and modernized their logotype and really focused our attention to the development of an iconic trademark. We wanted to incorporate spectral colors for the "Visual" part in the name, and we also wanted a graphic with movement to communicate "Data" travel. Lastly, we needed to bring the icon together by incorporating the letters V and D, which we contoured, fused into a striking contemporary design.
The end-result is award winning.

Goffstown updates town property values
The state Department of Revenue requires all towns to reassess property values every five years, and Goffstown conducts periodic updates to stay current with market values.
This process avoids inequalities and property owners paying more than market value. The 2013 values are proposed until the Board of Selectmen reviews and accepts the listed values.
The town also analyzes market values, which change on a regular basis. The town looks at market trends and regularly updates property values to avoid a total revaluation, which could cost the town about $500,000, he said.
In 2012, the assessment to sales ratio was 101.6 percent, meaning values were 1.6 percent higher than selling prices. The current ratio for 2013 is about 100 percent.
To review the property value updates and obtain abatement forms, visit www.goffstown.com/assessing-office, or contact Bartlett at 497-8990, ext. 113. The information is also available at the assessor's office, 16 Main St., Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A Historical Look At Mining In Utah By April Ashland • Jan 14, 2015 Don Winegar / Treasure House Relics project I sat down with the owner and cultivator of Treasure House Relics project recently, to discuss mining in Utah. I wanted to know how he got interested in mining, what he knows about Utah's mining history, and for him to share some of the stories with me and us. The Unstoppable Selfie Stick Trend Has Invaded American Shores By Elise Hu • Jan 8, 2015 Selfie sticks first proliferated in Asia, where so many tech trends seem to originate, for better or worse. Tourists wielding giant poles with their cellphones attached at the end stood before the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, smiling for their faraway phone cameras. Or they whipped these rods out in Myeongdong, a shopping promenade in Seoul. Utah's Mining History In Pictures Part Two By April Ashland • Jan 6, 2015 Utah State Historical Society Utah has a long and widespread history of mining. As part of UPR's chapter of the Morning Edition book club, we have compiled a series of photographs from the Utah State Historical Society. Glance through the slideshow to catch a glimpse.

Diversity In Space: Tracking The First Asian Pilot In The Star Wars Movies By editor • Dec 29, 2014 "There's ... too many of them," a Y-wing pilot says as Imperial ships overwhelm the Rebel fleet in the climactic space battle in Return of the Jedi. This scene is important because we've just learned that the Rebels have been lured to the forest moon Endor by the Emperor — it's a trap! It's also important for another reason: This is the first line spoken by an Asian character in the original Star Wars movies. John McNeil, A Trumpeter Robbed Of His Breath, Blows Again By NPR Staff • Dec 27, 2014 John McNeil may be the most important trumpet player you've never heard of. Many aspiring musicians know him as an educator, through his many instructional books like The Art of Jazz Trumpet. But getting to know McNeil as a performer or recording artist hasn't always been easy: his records could be tough to find. The Magic Of Christmas Eve Goes Beyond Religion By Adam Frank • Dec 23, 2014 It was late at night one Christmas Eve in the mid-1980s — New York City was a still a murky mix of squalor and grandeur then — when I found myself stranded at a bus stop near 121rd Street after a botched reunion with an ex-girlfriend. The street was empty and quiet and peaceful in a way only Christmas Eve (or apocalyptic blizzards) can manifest. Vegan Chef Shares Secrets To Successful Holiday Feast, Recipes Included By Elaine Taylor • Dec 23, 2014 http://recipes.millionhearts.hhs.gov/ The holidays can be stressful for anyone planning on cooking a Christmas feast, but especially for those who are trying to cook for their vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free friends and family. Chef Ian Brandt is the owner of some of Utah's most beloved vegetarian-friendly restaurants including Sages Café, Vertical Diner and Cali's Natural Foods in Salt Lake City. While Brandt said he himself takes a break from cooking and parties during the holidays, he said he's seen the stress that comes with trying to get a meal to turn out just right. His advice: develop a cookbook of your own. Listen Listening... / 3:27 The Whiteness Project: Facing Race In A Changing America By Karen Grigsby Bates • Dec 21, 2014 The voices in the Whiteness Project vary by gender, age and income, but they all candidly express what it is like to be white in an increasingly diverse country. "I don't feel that personally I've benefited from being white. That's because I grew up relatively poor," a participant shared. "My father worked at a factory." These are the kinds of unfiltered comments that filmmaker Whitney Dow was hoping to hear when he started recording a group of white people, and hoped to turn their responses into provocative, interactive videos. Celebrating Hanukkah In A Palestinian City By Emily Harris • Dec 21, 2014 Amelia Wolf, an American Jewish college student, was living in the Palestinian city of Ramallah when the holiday of Hanukkah rolled around last year. She liked the Palestinian family that was hosting her in the West Bank, but she felt a little lonely. She wasn't going to celebrate in Israel, where she had friends and relatives, as she had other Jewish holidays. Anthony Hamilton Brings Home Holiday Funk By NPR Staff • Dec 21, 2014 Once a pop artist has been working long enough, the Christmas album feels like an inevitability. Soul singer Anthony Hamilton wanted to try it out, but he was wary of falling into cliché and repeating the formulas that have shaped holiday records for years. For Norwegian-Americans, Christmas Cheer Is Wrapped Up In Lefse By editor • Dec 21, 2014 For many Norwegian-American families, the biggest Christmas treat isn't foil-wrapped chocolate or sugar-dusted cookies. It's lefse, a simple flatbread. Lefse are sort of like soft tortillas, made mostly out of mashed potatoes (with a little fat and flour mixed in to form a tender dough). They're usually spread with butter and sugar, or rolled up with a bit of lingonberry jam. And families that make them make them by the dozens. American Festival Chorus Brings Christmas Spirit To Cache Valley By Taylor Halversen • Dec 19, 2014 Taylor Halversen UPR's Taylor Halversen traveled with members of Cache Valley's American Festival Chorus as they caroled to assisted living centers and charity events around Logan City on Dec. 13.

Sarah Koenig On Serial: 'I Think Something Went Wrong With This Case' By Linda Holmes • Dec 18, 2014 It's hard to believe that not only was there no Serial six months ago, there was no Serial three months ago. The hugely popular podcast, a spinoff production of This American Life, didn't even premiere until early October, but since then, it has made its way with great speed into worlds from Sesame Street to Funny Or Die. A Morning Edition Book Club - What A Great Idea! By Peg Arnold • Dec 17, 2014 Hector Tobar Dear UPR reader, For those of us in the West, mining resources and safety are key perennial topics. Hector Tobar's 2014 release, Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine, and the Miracle That Set Them Free, addresses mining issues pertinent to Utah's history and present day conversations. UPR would like to explore the Utah response to this deeper look at mining and the human experience. Bob Dylan, In New Album, Will Cover Frank Sinatra By Krishnadev Calamur • Dec 9, 2014 He's doing it his way – even though "My Way" won't be on Bob Dylan's new album of Frank Sinatra covers. Dylan's new album, Shadows in the Night, is being released in February. It's his 36th studio album, and will come three years after Tempest. Making It Big 'Song By Song' By Ali Snow • Dec 8, 2014 behance.net Violinist, dancer, and self-proclaimed film nerd Lindsey Stirling is the subject of a new, two-part television series called Song by Song. She says this documentary will allow her fans to see a different side of her through the eyes of everyone she works with behind the scenes. "I really hope that people draw the message of perseverance because I think anyone who is pursuing their dream or is passionate about something, we all have to face the ups and downs of the industry or just life. It talks about that in the documentary and the highs and lows of what I've experienced. In order to make it I feel like it takes people who are willing to persevere through the failures and pick themselves up and keep going. Those are the people that are able to find success." Listen Listening... / 2:36 Turkey Talk: Online And Over The Phone, Ol' Tom Turkey Has You Covered By Melissa Allison • Nov 26, 2014 Cary Wolinsky Many traditions have made their way to the Americas since the first Thanksgiving in 1621, but one tradition that has stayed the same is the Thanksgiving turkey. In fact, Ol' Tom Turkey even has his own hotline. Karen, a hotline operator for Butterball said people call from all over the world with questions – everything from how big of a turkey they should get to whether or not they can defrost their turkey in their electric blanket. Some questions might be a little harder to answer. "A woman called me and asked me if she should invite her sister-in-law to dinner or not," Karen said. "And I had no answer for that one, what so every. What do you say to that? I thought, 'Ooh, I don't know, should ya?'" She said working on the hotline has provided her with more than recipes to enjoy, it has given her memories of people who have touched her life just by calling in for help. Listen Listening... / Box Of Love Letters Reveals Grandfather Didn't Escape WWII With 'Everyone' By NPR Staff • Nov 25, 2014 Karl Wildman was the hero of his family — he escaped Vienna at the start of World War II and became a successful doctor in the United States.

ACLJ: Stop Sending U.S. Taxpayer Dollars to Egypt & Libya
The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which works to protect religious freedom and human rights in this country and abroad called on the Obama Administration to end its foreign policy of "appeasement and apologies" and stop sending U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries which permit and support the terrorism of Islamic militants bent on destroying America.
"The anti-American violence at the direction of Islamic extremists in not only very troubling, but amplifies what can only be described as a failed foreign policy by the Obama Administration," said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the: ACLJ. "The Obama Administration continues to send billions of taxpayer dollars to countries that permit and support the terrorism of radical Islamists bent on destroying America. It's time to bring an end to a foreign policy of appeasement and apologies. We're calling on the Obama Administration to cut-off funding to Libya and Egypt until stable governments – which support America – are put in place."
Led by Chief Counsel: Jay Sekulow, the American Center for Law and Justice is based in Washington, D.C. and works in this country and abroad to protect religious freedom and human rights. The ACLJ has seven international affiliate offices, including one in Israel.

I have more guns than I will admit. Well, the truth is I don't know how many I have. Counting guns just seems like a bad idea. Clearly you can't have to many, so why would you ever count them? Rest assured that for the most part they are all locked up inside a hardened steel box that weighs half a ton. Anyway, I have guns of all actions and calibers. A gun for every critter or situation, and then a "Plan B" gun to back the primary up. I have "working" guns, and guns that lead a protected and cased life. Some guns get cleaned after every firing session, some get cleaned when they look like they need it. I have guns for deer that are different from my black bear guns. I have a gun for ground hogs that I wouldn't even dream of shooting at a coon. And pistols...... let's not even go there. Ammo? Favorite brands, weights, and styles carefully sorted and sealed in surplus ammo cans. Then there is my single shot shotgun. It's a New England Arms 12 gauge that I think Columbus brought over on the Mayflower (okay maybe not the Mayflower, but I've had it a long time). The single shot is in a garage utility room resting on two nails that I wrapped with duct tape. On a shelf under it is a box of shells from Walmart. I don't know what brand or shot size(probably 8), but I'm sure they were the cheapest shells they had. The door to the utility room isn't locked, if the gun is stolen I guess I'm out maybe forty bucks. Last night as I was putting out the trash, my cat alerted on something in the yard. At first glace I thought it was a possum, but after a closer look I saw it was an armadillo. Maybe the same armadillo that has made a mess of my yard and flower beds. It goes without saying that the "possum on the half shell" had to go. I grabbed my single shot and a round of the cheapest ammo Walmart sells and killed that armadillo. As I was putting the gun back up on the nails I couldn't help but think about the fact that the cheapest gun I own, is a primary go to gun. After a little thought it came to me that my single shot shotgun has taken more variety of game than any gun I own. Crows, lord yes. Squirrels, who's counting? Snakes, the only good snake is a dead snake. Coyote, there is only one way out of the barn and I had it covered. Woodchuck, don't sun yourself on top of my wood pile. Huge mutt of a dog, he won't growl and scare my girls again. Coon, possum, a beaver (now that is a good story), a bat, and some other things I won't admit to. So, for the first time ever, I cleaned my single shot shotgun today. I used steel wool to get some rust off (it's damp out there in the utility room). I even oiled it down. Then I put some fresh duct tape on the nails out there in the utility room and hung it back up. I figure in another 25 years I'll clean it again.
There is in life perhaps one fleeting moment when the courage, dedication and resolve of one man gambling against all odds will alter the destiny of nations.

I have an old "long tom" single shot shotgun that looks like hell. It belonged to my granddad and he wasn't big on gun care or the choice of ratty looking recoil pad he slapped on it. Needless to say, it looks like crap on the outside. Inside is a different story. I've backbored it, tapered the forcing cone, ported it, and swaged the barrel/choke slightly for MUCH tighter patterns. It shoots extremely tight patterns of course. I can't begin to remember how much money I've made at turkey shoots or won bets on the dove fields and shooting informal clays with it. When I drag it out people laugh but quit laughing when they are outshot by it.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!

Honor Your Loved Ones
Scott Cartwright
April 12, 1957 - August 14, 2011
Scott & I were married for 33 years. We have 6 amazing children and 1 adorable granddaughter. Our lives together were filled with sports, backyard BBQ's, friday night dates, family vacations, and golf trips with dear friends. Sunday nights you would find all of us together around the dinner table sharing family stories and laughing till it hurts! Scott taught us how to have integrity in every aspect of our lives. He is not here anymore to give advise to our sons about their careers, or to tell his daughters how beautiful they are. I wish I could see him again with our granddaughter feeding the ducks, but mostly I would like to take a walk with him on a warm summer night just holding hands and hearing his voice. I miss him so much.

A New Face at Reference
We are delighted to welcome our newest full-time librarian! Irene Truong joined the RHC librarian faculty at the start of the new school year. She earned her master's degree in information and library science from UCLA and has worked previously at the libraries in East Los Angeles College (ELAC), Pasadena City College (PCC), 20th Century Fox Research Library, and most recently in Marymount California University. Her undergraduate degree is from CSU-Long Beach where she majored in English with a concentration in creative writing.
She has hit the ground running, already teaching several library instruction sessions in the first four weeks of the semester. Drop by the reference desk and say hello to Irene and the rest of your friendly reference librarians!

Farewell, Spring Semester ... Welcome, Summer!
Spring 2014 may be over but newer, better things are taking shape in the College library.
Coming up first is the impending revamp of the Rio Hondo College
website and with it a new look to the library's webpage. The rollout date is
still to be announced but the library's URL will subsequently change from the
current http://library.riohondo.edu
to the new http://www.riohondo.edu/library.
The library team led by librarian Adele Enright has been working hard to create
a library website that will be consistent with the College's look and format
while keeping the same information now available to students and adding
enhancements to the website's functionalities.
Look for new library furniture later in the summer, thanks to a Verizon
grant to purchase popular reading materials. A
variety of seating styles – all comfortable and conducive to reading – will be
placed in the foyer area where the paperbacks are now kept as well as in the
Tree House.
Also look for limited editions of bookmarks featuring the four winners
of the Six Words Contest ("Love Your Library in Six Words") who wrote pithy
expressions of what the College library means to them. Christina Bitterman,
Ignacio Gonzalez, Justine Reyes, and Jessica Vasquez each won a package of gift
cards to a book store, coffee shop, and fast food restaurant for turning in the
most descriptive entries out of more than 200 submissions from Reading students.
They received their prizes during April's Writes of Spring celebration. Congratulations
on your great work!
If you haven't yet made their acquaintance, drop by the reference desk to
welcome our new adjunct librarians: Jennifer Bidwell, Sally Ellis, Mellanie
Reeve, and Claudia Rivas. They have just completed their first semester in the Rio
library where they have hit the ground running, bringing their concurrent experience
in university, community college, and high school libraries to play at the reference
desk and classroom instruction. They join our fine group of adjunct librarians
who help enrich our students' academic and research experience, namely Vivian
Arenas-Vellanoweth, Benjamin Barba, Gabriel Beeler, Karen Bourgaize, William
Enright, Carolyn Oldham, Tod Shacklett, and Gina Singh.
And as we officially end the Spring 2014 semester today, the library
congratulates all graduating students and wish you all the best as you continue
on to university or to your new careers. Come visit us again to let us know how
you're doing – we'd love to hear from you.
Wednesday, May 07, 2014
Librarians and staff are hard at work working on the new library website. Want to check it out before it goes live? Go to: webdev1.riohondo.edu
We have been updating our library website as part of a College wide website redesign. The College website is tentatively going live in the next few weeks.

nothing special. Very expensive. Small servings. No fortune cookies?? Would not go back again..we asked some patrons how it was they also said average. Located in the middle of town.
This was right next door to our hotel so thought we'd give it a try. It was full of Chinese people which is always a good sign! We had a very inexpensive set meal. There was a starter and main course with rice and quite a big selection to choose from the menu. Food was very good and probably the... More
A very busy restaurant - gets bus loads of Chinese visitors. Wide menu but food OK not great. Service slow when bus loads arrive.
Typical Chinese restaurant run by Asian owners. However, they automatically adjust their recipe to cater for bland Western tastes if you don't look Chinese. If you love spice and an Asian flavor hit then ask the waiter for "hot/Chinese style" spices if you want your meal to taste like it does in China. Service is your typical non-chalant
We've eaten here a couple if times, and each time the quality, atmosphere, and service has declined. Tonight, we decided to give Chinatown another try. Our food, including the soup before the meal, was only lukewarm at best. The server was indifferent to the point of being rude. We never saw her again after she brought our meal. We had... More
We tried this one this July. The place is small. the food is acceptable. The price is relatively cheap in the town. If you are looking for feeding hungry teens this is the one to go! Our kids like it a lot!
my advice --- avoid it! please! please! how many chinese restaurants have i been to ? zillions. I have ben in yellowstone for several days. This horrible restaurant is absolutely the worst of worst restaurants ever. It charges you 8 bucks for congee. It serves lots of chinese tour groups and apparently they don't have the habit of tipping. so... More
The menu is good and I like the way they explain what each entree consists of. The food was good but we were so rushed and did not leave relaxed. It was a busy night as there was so many Chinese around from tour groups. Would give it another try or even get take out.
Cons: pricey and terrible food, crowded space, bad service if there is any. Pros: none I can think of except it is not too far from my hotel. Recommendation: avoid it at any cost even if you are Chinese and REALLY home sick.
First of all, we did not start with any expectation on food quality and taste. By the third day in the West YS we have tried most of the fancy places, and were not quite thrilled by food quality in general.

The average home user really isnt too concerned with security, which is why a regular computer running a Windows9X install is pretty much a meat market for anyone who wants to snoop around your system. Microsoft never really did tighten up the security in Windows, and even if you set a password, it is oh-so easy to hit the ESC key at the logon screen and voila, in you go.
But the problem of securing a computer goes beyond even the poor protection offered by Windows9X. The problem lies in the fact that the identification scheme is based on something anyone can provide: a password. Even if you had secured the password screen (some freeware programs exist to do this) on Win9X, or even if you run Win2K, people are going to be hacking into your system through your password. Ive had my email account password on Hotmail hacked once its not funny. Well thats why biometrics is becoming such a hot item for security. Sure, anyone who knows your password can get right into your system (provided he has access to the system in the first place), but its a lot harder to fake a retina or fingerprint scan.
Vertical views of the ID Mouse |
Fingerprint scan devices and retina scan devices introduce a protection scheme based on keys that, in theory, only you can possess. Barring some pretty extreme measures, nobody should be able to fake your identity if your system is protected by a biometric system.
General Information
The Siemens ID Mouse is one of the first devices to integrate the FingerTIP sensor technology to provide biometric security for any Windows based system (drivers and extensive PDF documentation are included for Win98, Win NT, and Win2K). Identification is based on the biometric characteristics of your fingerprint, called minutiae, which acts as a unique identifier for each person. The sensor actually uses 65000 sensor electrodes to measure the distance between your skin and the surface of the reader. In less than 100ms the 224x288pixel scanner can generate a digitized image of your print, and then software will analyze and compare the minutiae of the scan versus the minutiae of the original authenticating print. Sounds pretty James Bond-ish doesnt it?
For those who are extremely paranoid, your fingerprint data is NOT stored in its entirety. Instead, only characteristic features are stored for referential data, and the original fingerprint can not be reconstructed based on this data. The FingerTIP sensor is compact, fast, and low on power consumption, so I wouldnt be surprised to see it integrated in other products like laptops and even PDAs.
Using the ID mouse in general
Once the mouse is installed, the standard logon screen is replaced with the ID Mouse identification screen, which means that the installation is tightly integrated with the system (no more hitting ESC to bypass the login in Win98).
A fairly robust application is included which lets you manage users basically, through this software, you can set any and all of a users 10 fingers as the identifying prints. You can also set the security level of the scans to either high, medium, or low. This security setting affects how much detail is analyzed in order to determine a proper fingerprint match. Think of it as a specificity threshold at high security, the software looks for more matching characteristics, so you can be more certain that the user is who he or she claims to be. But at this level, there is also a higher chance of rejections of legitimate users due to variances like placement of the finger, angle of the scan and other factors. On the flipside, the lower security setting reduces false rejections, but it also means that someone who has similar biometric characteristics to yours can actually spoof the software.
The user manager also allows you to set timeouts for scans and allow passwords to override the fingerprints. Personally the latter option is sort of foolish if you are planning on securing your system against password intrusion, why even allow any password override at all?
When we tested the mouse, it worked pretty much as advertised. We set up several users and scanned in their fingerprints for identification, and proceeded to test the whole setup. Identification, including the scan and the actual authentication takes around 2 seconds on a Celeron 566 system, which is a lot slower than we liked.
Article Index
The same applies for an MS-DOS prompt screen. If you can access the filesystem, you can disable the mouse, which is why F8 is disabled altogether, and why the A: must be locked out as a boot device.
In your article you mention that having a password still negates any usefulness biometric devices can offer. I agree but how else would you log in to a system if the device in question fails, especially NT or Windows 2000 after the OS is secured? What happens if you lose the finger needed to authenticate to the system? The password is still in place as a failsafe system. However, I do concur that eventually something needs to be changed so the option to enter a password is negated.
quoteThat's a very good question Dimitri. In Win98 there is a procedure in the manual to help you restore the system if the hardware fails or if, for example, you lose your fingerprints in an accident (acid burns, fires, cuts, hand in a cast, or whatever).What happens if you lose the finger needed to authenticate to the system? The password is still in place as a failsafe system.
In Windows NT, a BETTER method would be for admin to have control over whether or not regular passwords are allowed, and that should be enabled on a per user basis (complicated, but more secure). Right now, ALL the users can either authenticate via the fingerprint, or via password. All it takes is a single user to have an easy password and the system could potentially be partially compromised. The best solution IMO is to disable any passwords at all, except for a master password, which the admin can set as reasonably difficult to hack as possible.
Also. Remember that the ID mouse software allows you to use up to all 10 of your fingers for identification (it will recognize up to 10 fingers set into your authentication profile), so there is always a chance you have SOMETHING to get in the system. There's not much point in trying to get in the system using your password if you've lost all your fingers .
This message was edited by Ether on Feb 05 2001.
Thanks for the reply. What I was getting at is that there is still the option for a password. Even though, per your example, it is restricted to admins only, someone can still walk up and try to login locally with a password.
The ideal biometric login system would only let you authenticate via your personal minutiae. This would improve help desk calls (no more resetting passwords), decrease unauthorized security accesses (users are always writing down their passwords on monitors) and enhance auditing since no on else can log in as you.
I guess my whole point about the single admin password was to illustrate a simple way to increase security while still having a fallback in case the device fails, or in case the system is somehow locked out in another way.
How can identification solely through personal minutiae be ideal if, say for example, the comparison db is corrupted or if the ID scanner is scratched? Then nobody could authenticate at all without a workaround.
I can't agree more that passwords are a security risk, but my strong feeling is that biometric security can only truly viable replacement if there is some form of alternative for access in case the primary biometric system fails (maybe another biometric device, like a retina scan, that or the use of SmartCard+password or something like that).
All in all, a very interesting future for biometrics, but right now I think devices like the ID mouse do not live up to the whole biometrics == added security idea.
This message was edited by Ether on Feb 05 2001.
This device may prevent that problem. Only the Sysadmin needs to know the admin password, the users can all use their finger.
No authentication device can make an unsecure OS like W98 secure. Use with a secure encrypted file system (PGPDisk for example) would be a step in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
Can somebody tell me if this mouse is an optical mouse or a standard mouse?

Capsule contents offer a peek into Gothenburg's past
Unearthed VHS tape brings memories to life.
For awhile, Donna Schnackenberg's deceased mother came to life.
Family gathered last Saturday night to watch a VHS tape filmed, placed in a time capsule and buried during Gothenburg's centennial celebration in 1985.
The capsule was unearthed during Gothenburg's Harvest Festival last September and its contents opened to the public last Thursday in city council chambers.
Donna was there to collect a letter written from her mother—Leora Collins who died of cancer in 1998—to Donna's first daughter and Leora's granddaughter. She also picked up the VHS tape.
Donna said family viewers also watched husband Matt Schnackenberg's parents—Bob and Mary Schnackenberg—talking and clips of other family members including Steve and Wendy Collins and pictures of Chuck and Janice Walker who were away during the filming.
"The tape brought back a lot of memories," Donna said. "It was awesome to see my deceased mother happy and speaking and also to see Matt's parents."
Images of Simon Motor, where Matt worked, and the Farmland Service Coop and farm store were also included as well as the childhood homes of the Collins and Schnackenberg families.
"We plan to transfer the tape to DVD so we can enjoy it many more years," Donna said.
In the letter, yellowed with age, Leora tells Alisha—who was a year old at the time—that she is her first grandchild and "very special to me."
"You have brought a lot of joy into my life," she wrote, adding that the two of them are together on Mondays when she baby sits Alisha.
"Alisha, always stay as sweet as you are now and have a very fun, happy and healthy life."
She ends the letter telling her first granddaughter that

When I try to open e.g. AVG, Malaware Bytes and even System Restore I get referred to Adobe and asked to select the program to open the application, but making a selection has no effect on the shortcut. Quite a lot of "Programs" are shown as folders on the "Programs" list not the normal icon for the program as was normally the situation. In "Control Panel" if I select e.g. 'Security Centre' I get C:\Windows\ system32\rundell32.exe "Application not found" Any suggestions as to why only some programs are effected, and not others?

You don't mention the Operating System but have you tried the system file checker? Check on a search engine as how to run it for your particular OS. Sounds as you have malware or a virus.

rdave13, You were right I had a Malaware infection, I was able to run both AVG and Malawarebytes using Administrator on Windows Visa. AVG showed MALAWARE - NLU.EXE and it was sent Virus vault. Malawarebytes detected 2 Threats. Hijack.ExeFile and Broken.OpenCo These 2 were quarantined. All programes now running as normal. New Restore Point created when system working normally.
