Daya Patil, who works as a Premier Field Engineer at Microsoft India, focused on Exchange and Active Directory, presents an exhaustive checklist which she has found to be very valuable in performing version upgrades for Exchange Server.
Recently I was doing an upgrade from Exchange Server 2007 to Exchange Server 2010. In this process, I had to go through a number of articles and find suitable ones to apply to my needs as per organization requirement. I figured that it would be so good if these all articles are listed at one place along with the sequence of tasks during the migration. So here it is!
This article provides all the steps/tasks to perform successful migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010. With each task there is a set of reference links are provided as guide for how to perform the specific task. Note that a few steps can be optional depending on the environment.
Also, we suggest you use the Exchange Role Requirements Calculator, to determine the appropriate requirements for the Mailbox server role by specifying your set of input factors. Please refer this article to understand what values you need to specify while using it.
Potential Tasks
The first step, before even installing Exchange 2010 is to run JetStress. It's important to do this to measure the performance capabilities of a disk subsystem for Microsoft Exchange database and log files. It will help you validate if your hardware can take the load.

Original content by Daya Patil; posted by MSPFE editor Arvind Shyamsundar.
Nice Article, Very Well documented. Thank you..
I do see that we have created CAS array post installing mailbox role. Don't we recommend CAS array to be created before installing mailbox server. Let us say we don't, should we at least run Get-mailboxdatabase | Set-mailboxdatabase -RPCClientAccessService as there will be default databases created after mailbox role installation? Does Microsoft also recommend using the same databases for users? or do we create other mailbox databases? I am assuming that makes my environments operation easier (remembering default database names is a pain to me at least).

ACROSS the nation
March 2011Platesetter Enables Shift to an All-Digital Workflow
ANTIGO, WI—Clermont Printing & Office Supplies, a second-generation, family-run commercial printer, has installed a Heidelberg Prosetter P52 violet platesetter with MetaDimension RIP and Prinect PDF Toolbox. The additions have allowed the company to move from a film-based to a digital workflow by imaging Heidelberg Saphira violet plates.
"We're still running at 175-line screen," says company owner Steve Servi. "But our images look much cleaner and our screens are finer and reproduce better now."
UV Inkjet Printer Stretches Its Wide-Format Capabilities
MILWAUKEE—The versatility to accommodate roll-to-roll and rigid materials at least 2˝ thick and at least 80˝ wide were all the deciding factors that the Olympus Group used in selecting a Screen Truepress Jet2500UV inkjet printing system. The digital and screen printing shop specializes in wide- and grand-format graphics.
"We wanted a dependable UV inkjet printer that could generate quality superior to our existing machines and serve as a backup system when necessary to get the job done," says Andy Arkin, technical director. "We compared every device capable of printing six picoliter droplets...the Truepress Jet2500UV offered a wider range of capabilities to satisfy the various demands of our other products. For instance, it offers white ink as an affordable option, which we employ in every possible combination."
SANTA CLARA—Following on the heels of a facility expansion by approximately 40 percent, PrintPapa has added an HP Indigo 3550 digital press to add capacity to its existing digital lineup and to help support its new line of photo products. The company is reportedly the first printer in Northern California to install an Indigo 3550.
TAMPA—SonicPrint.com, a provider of commercial printing and direct mail, has expanded its operations by purchasing a warehouse here. In 2010, SonicPrint.com acquired the assets of a local sheetfed lithographic printing plant, and moved its headquarters from Saint Petersburg to Tampa. Since the move, the company has nearly doubled its full-time staff in the last 13 months.
INDIANAPOLIS—Upromise Investments (program manager for the state's CollegeChoice 529 savings plans) has signed contracts with two Indiana companies. SPG Graphics, a subsidiary of the Harding Poorman Group, will now print Upromise's marketing materials. And SGI of Indianapolis will provide the fulfillment services for Upromise. The new contract could create up to 30 new jobs.
HUNT VALLEY—The Sheridan Group has formed a new division, The Sheridan Technology Lab, for the development and introduction of technology-based solutions to support the journal, book, magazine and catalog publishing communities. The lab will provide research, development and project management support services to all Sheridan Group companies.
NORTH ADAMS—Excelsior has purchased the assets and business of Rochester, VT-based Oatmeal Studios, a publisher of greeting cards and note pads. Excelsior had already been producing greeting cards for Oatmeal Studios for more than 20 years. Joseph Gallagher has joined Excelsior as general manager for Oatmeal Studios and Bill Matthews will continue to manage sales and marketing.
ANN ARBOR—Edwards Brothers has entered into a partnership with Rockpoint Logistics (formerly Kaplan Logistics), where it will now provide digital printing services for Rockpoint clients out of Rockpoint's Aurora, IL, facility. As part of the multi-year contract, Edwards Brothers will take over management of the staff and equipment of the existing operation, which produces perfect-bound books, saddlestitched booklets, laminated covers and more.
ST. LOUIS—Indoff Inc., a single-source distributor in the areas of material handling, commercial interiors, and business and promotional products, has launched a commercial printing division. The division will provide a complete range of printing services, including banners and signage, variable data printing, employee handbooks and digital printing. The company says it is also actively looking to hire printing salespeople.
ALBANY—Fort Orange Press has invested $2 million in new enhancements to its business here. Installations included a six-color, 40˝ Komori sheetfed press with closed-loop color and aqueous coater. The commercial printer also upgraded its electronic prepress workflow with the addition of an Agfa N8-22 series thermal platesetter, which is supported with Epson digital color proofing. It also completely redesigned its corporate offices, including a new customer lounge and meeting center.
KINSTON—Lenoir Community College's Graphic Arts and Imaging Technology department recently installed a two-color Heidelberg Printmaster QM 46 press in its student training lab.
CLEVELAND—Admiral Products has become the first digital printer in the United States to receive Color-Logic process metallic color system certification. The shop employs an HP Indigo ws4500 digital press to produce a variety of metallic special effects.
DAYTON—The Printing Industries of Ohio and N. Kentucky awarded Think Patented a total of 18 Print Excellence Awards for its 2011 contest, which garnered nearly 500 entries. Think Patented was also the recipient of the "Best of Southern Region" award for the second straight year.
KNOXVILLE—Installing a second Printmaster QM 46-2 has helped boost small-format capacity at the University of Tennessee's print shop. The new installation also includes Heidelberg's Prinect Prepress Interface, which seamlessly links the shop's two-year-old, four-color Speedmaster XL 105 with its prepress workflow system.
NASHVILLE—With the aid of KBA North America's mechanics, Marshall & Bruce Printing's seven-color, 41˝ KBA Rapida 105 press was rebuilt after the 2010 spring floods left nearly three feet of water in its pressroom.
The ProCard Group has changed its name to Checkpoint Card Technology to help reinforce its commitment to the identification, gift and blank card markets.
AUSTIN—The Whitley Printing Co., The Whelan Group and Zoom Interactive Marketing have consolidated to form TWG Plus. The new company offers full-service creative and marketing solutions to the higher education recruitment market, as well as targeting other vertical markets. Kevin Cassis serves as president of TWG's printing division.
DALLAS—Since starting up its 12- color, 40˝ Mitsubishi Diamond 3000R press with convertible perfecting and twin coaters, Nieman Printing estimates that 20 to 25 percent of its large print work is now being produced on the new press. Nieman prints a large amount of publications and books on a monthly basis.
SMITHVILLE—With the addition of a Heidelberg Suprasetter 105 SCL platesetter with Prinect Prepress Manager workflow, Prinect MetaDimension RIP and Prinect Prepress Interface, Zapco Paper can now handle all of its prepress production needs in-house.
STERLING—Retail consulting firm Information Planning & Manufacturing Systems (IPMS) is leveraging Xeikon technology to produce its patented shelf-strip solution. Last November, the company integrated two Xeikon 5000 digital presses into its operations, which now includes a total of seven Xeikon presses.

Renovating has done a number on our front lawn. Trucks have used the yard has a parking lot for 3 months and the grass is thin and I have a mudslide when it rains. Contractor first indicated she would resod it but now she is suggesting reseeding. Which would be better? Thanks :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sod of course, at a cost and also looks much better, much quicker but as i said it is expensive. Especially at this time of the year, reseeding isn't recommended as weeds also begin to germinate. Seeding is best done in fall, Sodding can be done almost any time of the year as it won't allow weeds to germinate since it blocks the sunlight when its placed on top of the ground. Seeding at this time also isn't good as seedlings don't develop a complex root structure to battle the harsh summer. |
What kind of grass we talking about? Bermuda time is coming up soon but seeded Bermuda is not the best. Then again depends on want you want it to look like and time you will spend on it |

There are many comments on the blog that are so out of touch that they could (should) be sarcastic... but they aren't intended to be. Things like not understanding the insanity of wasted red shirts; not wanting Hogan because it would insult Shane; etc., etc.. The sarcastic comments on Ryan Davis came from veteran posters so I got the sarcasm, but for the benefit of those who are less tuned in the '/s' is helpful. |
1 week 5 days ago | 4th on the 'Zona Depth Chart |
Great HS highlights but FOURTH on the Arizona depth chart. We need a grad transfer QB, but this doesn't look like 'the guy'. Colonel Klink knows whom we need. |

2 weeks 2 days ago | Good Plan |
Thanks for understanding the value of red shirt years - so many on this board don't get it. Spacing the QBs out with a RS for Shane as you project would be ideal. Speaking od spacing and red shirts: we need 4 OL (3 minimum) in this class to give us some upper classmen on the O line in 2018. |
2 weeks 2 days ago | Malzone in 2016 |
Malzone is 'the guy' from 2016 onwards. Getting Hogan (or silmilar) will be fabulous for 2015. If Speight or Shane develop to be better than Malzone then so be it... but Alex looks like the real deal. |
2 weeks 3 days ago | Love to see him at running back |
Speed. vision, toughness, ball skills. At the very least give him a wildcat package. |
2 weeks 3 days ago | Wasted Red Shirt (again) |
With sane coaching Dymonte would just be going into his RS Sophomore year with plenty of time to develop the savvy needed to play safety. Really hoping that JH does not uselessly burn red shirts... gotta feeling he is too smart for that. |
2 weeks 4 days ago | Thank You |
Nice work. Several of us have been noting these looming donut holes in posts, but the majority of the board seemed oblivious (Bolivian?). The OL situation for 2018 is particularly glaring as we have effectively only taken one last year and so far only two in this class. That means only 3 (!) OL in 2018 not including the '16 and '17 classes. We need four this year to get the pipline in order. Fortunately, it looks like attrition for lack of PT will increase the sizes of both this class and the next one beyond what is normal. |
2 weeks 6 days ago | Agreed MOAR OL! |
We have only one freshman lineman next year plus whatever we get in this class (2 so far). The spacing of classes is poor so.... MOAR! |

I'm no expert, but looks somewhat like a 4-3 under with a stand up rush LB who almost always plays like a WDE. Not much different than a 3-4. FWIW I Ilke the 4-2-5 as it gives you heft up front and in the middle with SPEED behind. |
3 weeks 2 days ago | Great Stuff |
Thanks for the continuing excellent content - a few thoughts: - QB: Malzone will be the guy in '16. We all crave Hogan or similar to get us through '15, but if that does not materialize the JH effect on both Speight and Shane will be positive. - RB: Isaac will be the star in '15, and I think there is a good shot to flip Weber. Drake is good if healthy; Green was always over rated; Smith would be wise to make the move to FB where he could be excellent. - FB: Insert Wasted Redshirt Rant! Houma should be a RS soph grrr. Kerridge is a stud for '15 with a solid back up who will depart with him. In '16, hopefully Shallman embraces the role, and/or Smith makes the move. - OL: MOAR recruits. Our OL pipeline is like a snake that swallowed two large meals with nothing before or after. Hopefully we will take at least three this year and four next year. - WR: We will be fine. Harris, Ways and Canteen all have star potential as will Cole. I still have hope that we will offer (and flip) Grant Perry = baller. - TE: You forgot about Khalid Hill who could be a very valuable H Back if he comes back strong from the ACL. |
3 weeks 3 days ago | Easy transition for Kelly at Oregon |
Kelly took over a very successful Ducks program where he had been OC for three years and his offense was totally installed. Totally different from the tire fire that JH took over at Stanford. |
3 weeks 4 days ago | No Brainer |
To even question whether to take someone like Hogan is ludicrous. I have no idea if this is at all a possibility, but if ANY grad transfer as good as Hogan wants to come to Michigan next year we should welcome him with wide open arms. The part of this thread that sheds even a scintilla of doubt on this is totally out of touch with reality. |

Love this shadow, agree with all the reviews. It looks great on my olive skin.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I didn't intend to purchase Smog, though I'd seen it dozens of times; it always looked so.. dark and "blah" in the pan. I swatched it on my hand though, and it took me completely by surprise! What a gorgeous, peachy-brown-y-coppery shade it was!
My slightly crepe-y lids do NOT look good in a ton of shimmer or glitter, and UD isn't exactly known for its subtlety. Oh, but this... is... glorious! Applied lightly, it can be worn as an all-over lid-wash. It makes an even more wonderful crease-color, sparking up even the most tame, matte neutrals.
The texture is amazing, and the lasting-power is equally excellent--even without a primer. This shade just does something special for my gray-blue eyes, and I will purchase it for as long as it's made.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Really lovely dark bronze color. It's awesome as a crease and outer v color. It can be applied for a natural look and built up for a more smokey look. It's sooo smooth and pigmented. It actually showed up darker on my lid than I expected. A great color to have
I have to join the mass and declare my love for this eye shadow! I LOVE it. Out of all the colors I've tried, I like Smog the best! It's just so darn pretty and wearable during the daytime.
This is my favorite brown eyeshadow EVER!! It's a goregous shimmery/metal brown. This is a perfect day-time smokey eye eyeshadow. People compare it to MAC Tempting. Personally, I hate Tempting's texture, and it comes out more flat and cool and blah. Smog has a perfect buttery texture, and comes out a rich bronzey brown on me. I almost sigh in relief when I put it on and think "this is what I've been looking for!" It just has an "oomph" to it that Tempting does not. If this is too orange for you, then I'd try Tempting.
I'm also a bit OCD with my makeup. So it makes me very happy that it comes in a round pan that will fit in my MAC palettes because most of my shadows are MAC or Milani. That's probably the biggest reason I'll never collect a ton of Estee Lauder or NARS eyeshadows, even though they are fabulous.
Anyway, wonderful eyeshadow. I'm obsessed with it.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this was one of the stunning colors in my ud naked kit and i must give this a 10 out of 10 for colour pay off and it also blends really well however i don't think i would buy this as a single shadow as i found many dupes for it
Smog is so so so lovely. It works on the lid, in the crease, and even in the outer corner! It's just so universally flattering and one of the colors that I use the most often. Smog is a color that's in about 90% of UD palettes, so you probably have it if you have an UD palette. But you really can't go wrong with this color and with all the palettes that I own I think that I have enough Smog e/s to last me throughout the rest of my life hahaha.
More reviews by slippingbeauty
This is a nice, pretty neutral. I don't really love UD as much as I used to, but Smog is a really nice product. It wears nicely and is nicely pigmented. It is for sure one of UD's better products.
I feel compelled to review this even though I can't possibly add anything new! SMOG - are you looking for a perfect, sexy-yet-not-too-obvious, bronzy, beachy summer eye? Or maybe a warm fall/winter look with plummy cheeks and darker lips? Do you have brown, black, blue, green, or hazel eyes? Are you a brunette, blonde, redhead - do you have rainbow hair? SMOG WILL WORK ITS ASS OFF FOR YOU. It is seriously the prettiest color, with a sensual satiny-ness (not frost), and amazing lasting power. I would describe it as a bronze-cocoa...in fact, Smog is the perfect name. It can be endlessly combined with other shadows, but my favorite way to wear it is a medium-opaque wash, all by its lonesome, with slightly winged liner. Sex on a stick. Neutral yet not.

I love this color, it has to be the shadow with the best pigmentation, payoff, and finish that I have ever owned! I have this in the UD Show Pony palette, and out of them all, Smog is my favorite. It's a goldeny brown bronzeish color, but not too gold (i hate gold shadow). It is my perfect crease color, and I can imagine it working for both day and night. IMO, it's a very unique color. Not too shimmery, no chunks of glitter, and probably would finish off any matte, neutral eye perfectly! I will definitely buy this again...and again...:)

TORONTO — Mariners starting pitcher Erik Bedard might not make it to the mound in Boston this weekend after all.
The Mariners have said for more than a week that they were hoping Bedard would come off the disabled list and pitch at Fenway Park. But Mariners manager Eric Wedge on Tuesday said he might have Bedard throw a simulated game after Wednesday's scheduled bullpen session.
Wedge was asked whether a simulated game would cause Bedard's return to be delayed until after the Boston series.
"Realistically, yeah," he said. "If he throws a bullpen and then has to throw a simulated game, we'll probably push him back a little bit, yeah."
Bedard was considered one of the more probable Mariners to be traded by the July 31 deadline if the team fell from contention. But that was before he sprained his knee late last month against the Atlanta Braves.
The Mariners initially said Bedard would return right after the break. But that keeps getting pushed back.
If Bedard's return is delayed until next week in New York, there is a chance he won't make more than one start before the trade deadline. There is a possibility the Mariners could deal him in August, but it would require Bedard clearing waivers first.
Carp returns to lineup
Mike Carp played his first game since being called back up from Class AAA, hitting two doubles and walking. He also grounded into a double play in the eighth when the Mariners had two on with none out.
Carp got the start at designated hitter, but said pregame that he spent his recent AAA stint working out at first base every day and playing there his final few games.
"I'm just getting my reps in there," Carp said. "Making sure I'm ready to play if needed."
Carp being the DH on Tuesday prevented Wedge from using him at first base after Jack Wilson pinch-ran for Justin Smoak in the ninth. In the bottom of the inning, Dustin Ackley had to move over to first base — where he had played for North Carolina — while Wilson went to second base.
• Chone Figgins looked strong at the plate in a rare start, getting a bunt single, drawing two walks and having a hard-lined double stolen from him by diving left fielder Corey Patterson. But Figgins also committed a fielding error on a grounder to third and got picked off first base to end the eighth inning with a man at third.
• Jackson High of Mill Creek product Travis Snider made his first start in center field for the Blue Jays. Snider has been a corner outfielder and DH for the Blue Jays, who made him a first-round pick in 2006.
For the record: W-L: 43-53; W PCT: .448;

A charming and funny memoir about experiences Gina Gershon has had with cats throughout her life that are analogous to her relationships with men and her ongoing search for true love.
Film and television icon Gina Gershon may be best known for her movie roles in Bound and Showgirls and television appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm and How to Make It in America, but deep down she is a self-described cat lady. In Search of Cleo follows Gina�s desperation and despair when her assistant loses her beloved cat, Cleo. Gina spends two months roaming the back streets of Los Angeles at all hours of the night, searching for Cleo and meeting several quirky and outrageous characters who help or hinder her in different ways, including Ellen DeGeneres, who searches with Gina and recommends her pet psychic, Sonia; Arthur, the newspaper delivery man who gives her advice; and the mysterious fortune-teller, who appears from the shadows to give her a statue of Saint Gertrude, the protector of cats everywhere.
Gina soon finds herself enmeshed in L.A.�s strangest subcultures, doing everything she can to bring Cleo home, including chanting with a bunch of crystal-wielding hippies and being slapped with a chicken by a Santeria priest. Along the way, she reflects on the various cats that have been a part of her life and shares her travails as a single girl in search of both her cat and some sanity. In Search of Cleo will delight pet lovers and singletons alike as it introduces Cleo to the celebrated pantheon of literary cats that includes Dewey, Homer, and Oscar.
Besides her many movie and television roles, Gina Gershon is a founding member of the New York City theater group Naked Angels and coauthor of the children�s book Camp Creepy Time. She lives in New York.

15 October 2009: IFA HOTELS & RESORTS LAUNCHES PRIVATE RESIDENCE CLUBS IN THAILAND
IFA Hotels & Resorts (IFA HR) announced today the launch of three new Thai-based Private Residence Clubs: The Heights Private Residence Club in Phuket, Northpoint Private Residence Club in Pattaya and The River Private Residence Club in Bangkok. The Clubs are developed by luxury condominium developer Raimon Land in which IFA HR has a 41.07% stake.

15 October 2009
Dubai: IFA Hotels & Resorts (IFA HR) announced today the launch of three new Thai-based Private Residence Clubs: The Heights Private Residence Club in Phuket, Northpoint Private Residence Club in Pattaya and The River Private Residence Club in Bangkok. The Clubs are developed by luxury condominium developer Raimon Land in which IFA HR has a 41.07% stake.
Werner Burger, President and COO of IFA HR said: "Our strength lies in our proven ability to create products that meet a wide range of client needs in a number of sought-after destinations. Working with Raimon Land to add three Private Residence Clubs to our Thai portfolio takes us beyond our existing foothold in the residential sector and further expands our lifestyle product offering in Asia, a key market in our global development strategy."
Each home within the Private Residence Clubs is divided into saleable fractions of 1/13th. This fraction entitles owners to enjoy a minimum of 21 days per year at the Club in which they purchase as well as unlimited use of space available time. Additionally, owners will have access to a greater network of properties through the IFA Collection and The Registry Collection program. Ownership is in perpetuity and can be sold at any time.
Private Residence Clubs represent the top tier of Fractional Ownership products and are among the fastest growing sectors of the real estate and hospitality industries. It is an innovative form of ownership that appeals to those who want the security and advantages of an equity-based private club along with the benefits of owning luxuriously appointed, prime real estate.
Hubert Viriot, Chief Executive Officer of Raimon Land said: "The design, implementation and launch of Private Residence Clubs presented a unique opportunity to diversify our portfolio without diluting our focus on luxurious residential experiences. We also had the benefit of working closely with our major shareholder IFA Hotels & Resorts who have successfully developed and sold a variety of investment and lifestyle products around the world, including several Private Residence Clubs within the IFA Collection."
The IFA Collection consists of a luxury portfolio of international properties developed by IFA Hotels & Resorts, an international specialist in the development of mixed-use resorts
Piaras Moriarty, Vice President Client Management with IFA HR, said: "Owners in the Clubs will have access not only to their selected property in Thailand, but can also exchange their days for access to over 160 properties through the IFA Collection and The Registry Collection program. Likewise, the addition of these Private Residence Clubs provides our IFA Collection clients access to three great new vacation options in Thailand."
Each of the Thai Private Residence Clubs offers a sanctuary of elegance and sophistication specifically created to cater to the desires of its owners, which have been designed, constructed and finished by the very best award-winning teams in Asia and are furnished and equipped to the highest international standards. Owners also enjoy unparalleled service when in residence with dedicated staff available to pre-stock kitchens, book leisure excursions or make dining reservations and arrange babysitters, laundry, transportation and even a private chef when required.
"We are extremely excited by the expansion of the IFA Collection into Asia and by the addition of the Raimon Land developed resorts," said Geoff Ballotti, President and CEO, Group RCI. "IFA Hotels & Resorts and Raimon Land and are synonymous with quality and these three extraordinary properties offer the level of luxury vacation experience we aim to deliver to our members through The Registry Collection program."
The Heights Private Residence Club – IFA Collection in Phuket is nestled atop the hillside above Kata Beach with stunning views of the Andaman Sea. The units have large open terraces, expansive living areas, and the seamless spill-over of indoor into outdoor spaces. A wide range of recreational choices are available at the club house, including a fitness centre, a free-form infinity pool, lap pool, kid's pool sun deck and Jacuzzi – a culmination of visionary island-living.
The River Private Residence Club – IFA Collection in Bangkok will offer an unrivalled choice of condominiums, lofts and penthouses in two unique and iconic towers along the Chao Phraya. Facilities include state-of-the-art fitness centres, sky gardens, riverfront infinity pool and 50-meter lap pool complete with superb dining and entertainment experiences on the riverfront podium and terrace.
Northpoint Private Residence Club – IFA Collection in Pattaya soars above the sands of prestigious Wong-Amat Beach with easy access to world class amenities, a wide variety of recreational and entertainment choices, and over 20 championship golf courses. The Point features an exceptional mix of residences from 1-3 bedroom luxury units to breathtaking duplexes and penthouses.

Kentucky restaurant shut down after roadkill found in kitchen
this is exactly why i won't eat at chinese restaurants . i remember a few years back a co worker got chicken wings from a chinese joint in DC . he ate the first ...."wing"...and asked me if i'd ever seen a chicken bone that looked like that.... i've ate my share of chinkens and what he had was defintely not a chicken bone !!!
Kentucky restaurant shut down after roadkill found in kitchen
Customers at the Red Flower Chinese Restaurant in Williamsburg, Ky., alerted authorities after they spotted something they probably wish they hadn't: restaurant employees wheeling roadkill back to the kitchen.
Local CBS affiliate WYMT
interviewed the witnesses. The roadkill was apparently a deer stuffed into a trash can. "There was actually a blood trail they were mopping up behind the garbage can," customer Katie Hopkins said. "There was like a tail, and like a foot and a leg sticking out of the garbage can, and they wheeled it straight back into the kitchen."
Local health inspector Paul Lawson was
called in to investigate
. Lawson said the restaurant owners told him they didn't know they were doing anything wrong. "They said they didn't know they weren't allowed to do that. So that makes me concerned that maybe they could have before. They didn't admit to doing it before." The owner said he didn't plan to serve the deer to customers—instead he planned to use it to feed his family.
The restaurant has been temporarily shut down but will be
eligible to reopen
as soon as it passes another health inspection and proves it has been washed and sanitized.

jmmbell1987 wrote:While this might be true in theory, in reality, most vegetarians I know are bigger foodies than the non-veggies I know. That has more to do with the necessity of eating varieties of foods when you're a vegetarian just to keep things interesting, coupled with the fact that most Americans in general have boring diets. Refusing to eat the cuisines of entire countries or regions (which, sadly, many Americans do) is more restrictive to being a foodie than being a vegetarian. In a given week, I often eat a slew of veggie-friendly, authentic meals from recipes from all over the world that most non-veggies I know will have never tried. And as a vegetarian and a t-shirt lover, I resent/resemble the comparison. :P
the only reason my diet is so boring is a lack of funds. i eat sandwiches all day, and i wish i would afford to regularly eat more interesting things (although i make a fantastic sandwich).

Port Vale V Brentford at Vale Park : Match Preview
Port Vale V Brentford - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Two miss out for Vale
Port Vale's pre-season injury problems appear to have eased with manager Micky Adams reporting just two absentees ahead of the opening game of the season against Brentford.
Captain Doug Loft (Achilles), Richard Duffy (knee), Adam Yates (knee), Joe Davis (knee), Rob Taylor and Daniel Jones (thigh) have all been nursing problems over the summer but it looks like just two from that list will miss out on Saturday.
"Other than Rob Taylor and Joe Davis, we have got a full complement of players, so that is pleasing," Adams told the club's official website. "Daniel Jones is telling us he is 100% fit, but I wouldn't expect him to say any different."
Summer signings Kaid Mohamed, Gavin Tomlin, Chris Robertson, Anthony Griffith and Carl Dickinson will all be hoping to make their debuts.
Brentford could kick-off their season with as many as eight new faces on the pitch.
Manager Uwe Rosler has been busy shaping his squad with the likes of Will Grigg and Alan McCormack arriving at Griffin Park along with Spaniard Javi Venta.
Having narrowly missed out on promotion last season, the Bees boss will be looking to hit the ground running and has no serious injury concerns ahead of the opener.
The German will be hopeful of a repeat of last season's result when Brentford ran out comfortable 3-0 winners.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 335
Rated 5 out of 5 by JanBri FABULOUS STAFF-WELL RUN HOTEL
We had several problems due to the fact that Heathrow misdirected our luggage. The staff at the Sheraton Stockholm took such amazingly good care of us that they helped the situation dramatically. Isak the night manager was particularly kind and gracious. Nothing we asked of him was too much for him to take care of. He made us feel right at home.
Steve the concierge heped so much with the luggage siutuation. We took his advice and went to Arlanda airport to find our bags and we were grateful that we did find them before moving to our next destination.
The only difficulty was that we prefer to use air conditioning rather than leave the window opened, but the AC wasn't cool enough for us, so we left the window opened and it was fine.
Altogether an excellently well-located and well-run hotel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandy81 Wonderful Stockholm!
From start to finish I can not say enough about how wonderful our stay was at the Sheraton in Stockholm. Check in was a breeze, with a great dinner recommendation and also a reservation made on our behalf. The room was spotless with a lovely view of city hall, the perfect location for walking around this lovely city, both old and new!
Breakfast buffet was very nice, and all of the staff at this property went out of their way to help with any questions we had.
Looking forward to our next trip already!!!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Alain23 Overpriced and unwelcoming
The customer service at the SPG reservations line was first class, but the same cannot be said for the hotel. I wished to extend my stay but hotel reception would not help until I phoned them! Locking lobby toilets with a PIN made me feel very unwelcome as a guest. The restaurant, while good quality, was incredibly expensive compared to far superior nearby establishments. The room was satisfactory but I was disappointed with the overall experience and feel it represented very poor value for money.
November 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CKat54 Perfect location
I spent 6 nights here for leisure and found the location to be perfect. Easy walk over to the Old City, easy walk to city shopping, easy walk to the train station, easy walk to the subway, easy walk to some great restaurants, and easy walk along the waterfront for the views. And with the Arlanda Express from the airport, it is barely 20 minutes to the hotel.
The workout room is good. but the sauna is very small. My room had a view room of the water and old town and was lovely. On the day it rained, the front desk had loaner umbrellas.
My only complaint is about the prices in the bar. There were no inexpensive options. Prices were substantially higher than in surrounding restaurants/bars. On the other hand, the bartenders are fantastic-inventing new drinks and making cocktails with a flair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SooMoo Superb location and no nonsense
Four day weekend to play tourist. Location is ideal, walk to airport train in two minutes and most other places easily. Competent and friendly staff. Located in the middle of anywhere you wish to visit, museums, opera, theater and restaurants. During our stay hotel operated a makeshift lounge with excellent staff and food and beverage service, with views over the city and the lake. Must come back to visit their "real" lounge when upgrades have been completed - how could it be better?
No pool.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Derrick2013 Top in Comfort and Customer Service
Was recognized as a SPG member upon check in and was surprised to receive chocolate and a well wishing card in the room as our honeymoon gift. The mattress and pillows were the most comfortable ones we had in this trip.
We accidentally left the passports in the safe, only to realize it when we reached Copenhagen. Thanks to the staff in Sheraton Stockholm for sending it on express service to our non-SPG hotel in Copenhagen. We really appreciate this excellent service and assistance.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sophie89 Perfect location, great service
Had a great time in this hotel - perfectly located as just near the central station, right near the shops and just opposite the place to get a boat round the archipelago.
As soon as I entered the hotel the bellmen welcomed me to the Sheraton, reception staff were friendly and helpful and the room was very spacious with a great sea view. Only one disappointment - no bath. The cocktails at the bar were also great in a nice relaxed atmosphere and with great service. Thanks for a lovely stay!
June 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maruska007 Excellent location for visit to Central Stockholm
Unfortunately, we could only stay one night; therefore it is difficult to fully assess all the facilities and services available at the hotel, as we were exhausted and spent most of the time relaxing in our VERY comfortable room and going for walkabouts in Stockholm. The best feature for me was the super fast internet connection at the business centre downstairs! I wish I had time to make use of the gym and the sauna facilities, but time was limited. I would definitely stay there again in future, if possible, in order to explore the full facilities available and make use of the spa services offered. The staff was VERY friendly and attentive to our needs and the housekeeping services were of the highest standard. Definitely worth every penny of your stay, especially if you want to be in central Stockholm and within easy reach of all the best attractions that the city has to offer. Another wow factor was the printer next to the computer in the business area (internet access and printing are free), so this makes for the best hotel to stay in Stockholm if you are there for business purposes. We were there only as tourists and we still found it to be an excellent tourist hotel, equpped with staff who are fluent in English (a big plus!). The only thing lacking was an indoor pool. One would expect that, since there is a sauna and spa services, but since the hotel caters mainly for business travellers, it is not surprising that there is no indoor pool.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Travelus47 Great staff at desk. Room large and adequate. Some problems.
The staff at the front desk were attentive , cheerful and friendly. The lady day concierge needs to improve her people skills.All other staff polite and friendly. We stayed in a junior suite which was very large. However we lost the use of the room for the better part of a day due to a horrible sewer back up odour. The air conditioning did not work well. Lovely breakfast buffet but dinner in the hotel restaurant was not very good.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LADoc Not Your Average Sheraton
Everything is so well done by the staff of the Stockholm Sheraton that you may forget you are staying at Starwood's middle-of-the-road brand. The staff was VERY efficient and accommodating. For example: as is often the case, the SGP elite desk was unoccupied when I arrived to check in. I merely had to look over at the lane and one of the staff members took note. One minute later, a clerk appeared to check me in. One small issue: the A/C did not cool my room as much as I would have liked, but it was fine in the evening. And, after all, being too warm is rarely an issue in Stockholm. Otherwise, the hotel and its staff really set a standard for the Sheraton brand. With the sleek Scandinavian design (wood floors throughout!) it seems more like Starwood's more upscale brands than the tired old hotels we've come to expect from Sheraton in the USA.

I spent 4 days in a very good quality hotel. Good service, good food and good location.
I would like to underline the "wonderful help" Hugo and Francisco gave to me and my family because of an intoxication my son Damian suffered in those days (the problem was in a restaurant outside the Hotel). They assist us during our stay helping us in every moment with anything we needed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Schlepper Functional hotel in a great location
This hotel provides all the facilities one expects from a world wide hotel chain. Our room was light, bright, airy and well serviced while the hotel is within easy walking distance of Central Station so it is easily reached from the airport.
It is also close to the old city, City Hall and most of the cruise boat wharves.
Staff were universally polite and helpful.

The Sheraton in Stockholm is in my opinion one of the better run Starwood hotels in Europe. I have been staying there several times in the past 2 years and have found them every time flexible to adjust to my time schedule, outgoing, friendly, and conveniently located in the heart of the city. The overall professionalism indicates a good and customer oriented management focus.An absolute must to stay there when in Stockholm.

The Sheraton Stockholm is centrally located, a 10 min walk to the Arlanda Express terminal ans the metro hub, and a a short walking sistance to the Royal Palace and old city. Very friendly staff. When we checked in at 5 pm our room was not ready, so we were offerred an upgrade to the club lounge. Room was large by European standards. If you can, request a room on the 8th floor, with balcony facing the old city and lake,

I did not feel there was any special recognition except for a card that was brought to my door. Nice personnel in the club lounge.
I do want to recognize Charlotte at the front desk who provided me with a great room after another person had told me I would have to wait until after 4:00 and tried to get me to check into an inferior room. Charlotte was warm, friendly and welcoming. New towels are needed in the bathrooms.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Sommarcatta Irritating flaws
When booking a certain roomtype and even got it confirmed at check in, everything should work smoothly. We arrived late and were appointed the wrong roomcategory. Too tired to do anything about it the very same night, we had to go through the hassle of changing rooms the next morning. I demanded an upgrade and we got a beautiful room, but the reception didn´t offer it volontary. Not what you would expect from Sheraton.

Once again I have enjoyed a grelt meal at the restaurant. The kitchen must be very close to a Michelin star!
The staff understands to make you feel very special. If you are a bit of an adventurer then ask for a surprice. You will not be disappointed - they do magic in the kitchen. Tell them what you like and then just wait and see.
The front office staff are perfect representatives of Sheraton. You want to come back!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Digger67 In room wifi needs improvement
Most of staying here is absolutely wonderful: the staff, the food. The in-room wifi, however, needs significant improvement, at least in room 530. The only stable connection for wifi was located in the washroom. All other locations in the room where it is more useful, the desk, lounge chairs, beds, it consistently dropped either in speed or completely. It was near impossible to hold a video chat.
Please improve!

I recently stayed at Sheraton Stockholm for a second time. I had received excellent service the first time, and during this more recent visit the service was above and beyond. I had a documentation issue that required interaction with local authorities, and the Sheraton staff assisted me throughout the process. While multiple staff were all courteous and helpful, special thanks to Khaldoun and Jens.

I was on a 4 days business trip and I had a very pleasant stay at Sheratin. Very great location close to the old city and the central station which makes moving around the city a great experience. My wife joined me as a tourist for the same trip and she enjoyed a lot the facilities and the location. Room quality and breakfast are high.
recommended for couples and single business trips.

The hotel and staff are very nice. The location is great as well. I have one issue that I think needs improvement. The check in process would go smoother if there were more staff available. I hate standing in line especially after a long journey. There should be a careful eye on the check in area and staff should be added as lines increase. Other than that, great stay!!! Thanks for everything, Mark

My hotel stay was pleasant overall. Staff was very nice and helpful.
My only main was a big spider web on my balcony with many spiders on it (room 814).
My wife got really scared and didn't want to use the balcony which was a little shame. I didn't mind the spiders :).
Also the hotel breakfast and the lounge were a bit overcrowded but I understand its a busy time of year.
Thank you,

but despite a few other positive points, many negatives : rooms have no atmosphere nor charm, aren't very clean, the lobby and bar are just awful, not inviting at all, flowers aren't fresh in most vases, service is unequally good, bad in certain cases and slow, or incomplete and inaccurate, which is not acceptable.

Hotel met and surpassed our expectations in all areas. What made our stay so special was the human factor, particularly the exceptional care we received from Paula Norrmyr at the counter. She made extreme efforts to help us, which came through as an authentic gesture of good will and friendliness and not as someone just doing her job. She definitely picked the right career... Job well done!!!

We found this hotel clean, comfortable and well-situated in walking distance to most major attractions in Stockholm. However, it was the attentive staff that exceeded our expectations. No staff member was ever too busy to provide prompt, courteous and thorough service.

Re: Bristol 26 parts
Jayhawk ,
welcome to owning a Bristol 26. Getting info about them is hard. It is as if this boat is the bastard child of Bristol Boats.
As far as hull # are concerened you must look everywer on the boat, draws, thier bottoms, back of cabinet doors, under setees covers etc. I found mine in the aft section of the cockpit there is a wood cover and there was a Bristol logo medalion with the number 3 on it.
I removed the mast stepping plate and found a 1971 penny on the inside ,Must be the commissioning year.
Try conntacting the Herrisoff museam in Bristol RI the should have drawings ? I am told that there is a couple of guys that worked for Bristol back in the day that are working for Bristol Marina in Bristol RI???? not confirmed
The up side is they are a strong boat but not very fast ,remember it is about the journey not the destination Good luck

The BlogObservations From the Virginia Race That is in No Way a Referendum on Obama1:20 PM, Nov 3, 2009
• By MARY KATHARINE HAM
The Virginia governor's race has a history of going to the candidate of the party out of power, so a McDonnell win there is not as big a win as a Christie win in New Jersey would be, but the sheer dominance of McDonnell in this race- in almost all demographic groups, on almost all issues, and on energy, tone, and style, where the Obama influence should have lifted Deeds-utterly refute the idea that Obama was able to move the state from red to blue for the long haul. And further, that smart Republican candidates are learning lessons from 2008, and adopting practices to capitalize on the political climate. In a reversal of last year, it will be the energy of the Republican electorate, right-leaning Independents, and McDonnell's campaign this year that likely will lift Republican down-ticket candidates to wins. PPP reported numbers that portend a sweep for Republicans in the gubernatorial, Lt. Governor (Bill Bolling), and Attorney General (Ken Cuccinelli) races. Given all that, it's not surprising the Obama White House has been going to great lengths to distance itself from the Deeds campaign even as Obama was doing a rally in Norfolk for the Bath Democrat. For his part, Deeds says he didn't push the president away: Just two data points while you're listening to Democrats say this race had absolutely nothing to do with the president. 1) This mailer: And, this TV ad. Now, let's play a little game called, "Find Creigh Deeds in his own ads:" Good luck! It may take a while. The bottom line is Deeds and Obama asked Virginia to elect a Democrat just because they did it last year. And, Virginians are probably going to say, "no thanks" three times over. Update: And, another one for you. "Stand With President Obama" in this election that has nothing to do with Obama. |

It's fun to think that you know, before anyone else, that something EPIC is about to happen… and as a wedding and documentary photographer to be able to have that kind of foresight to that much emotion is a pretty powerful feeling. Superman powerful. It's probably one of the main reasons why I loved being a wedding photographer so much. So when Zac asked me to be a part of his proposal to Morgan, I did not even hesitate to jump headfirst into it, and so the planning began. He found a great spot in Oyster Creek Park in Sugarland, TX, and kept the ring from her for 2 months. It takes a lot to really think out a proposal, and it is even more difficult to trust someone else with that secret. Zac and I put together a video to show Morgan after the proposal of family and friends, and he had to let them all in on the secret and also trust them not to let the cat out of the bag. The video turned out so well, and I was happy that he let me in on it.
I was trying to sort out my gameplan, and I guess I could have been very obvious and get up close as it was happening in plain sight. It was a park, afterall, and I am sure no one would have noticed. But I really did not want to ruin the surprise of it all. Morgan had no idea this was about to hit her on their anniversary, in fact, she didn't even realize where her mother was taking her (as it was supposed to be brunch… not a long drive to Sugarland to meet Zac in a random park). So I hid, in the bushes, undetected, ninja-style, with a 600mm lens to capture the moment. I wanted to share some of those photos with you – It really was sweet, and I could not hear anything that was going on, but it looked like an amazing moment.
Thankfully, Zac called me out from my hiding, and I got to be the first to congratulate the couple and take a quick photo of them in all their newly-engaged-gloriness.
I wish them the very best! I have never met a guy like Zac before. He really is such a funny, thoughtful and kind person, and I am grateful to have been a part of this special moment for Morgan and Zac.
I must have been cutting onions while I was piecing this video together:

investment within photonics, including government and company funding of R&D, followed by an examination of the ways in which the changing structure of the innovation process within photonics (including sources of R&D funding) reflects broader shifts in the sources of innovation within the U.S. economy. That section motivates the subsequent discussions of the role of venture-capital finance in photonics innovation, the role of university licensing, and the implications of offshore growth in the production of optics and photonics products for innovation in the field. This discussion of the changing structure of innovation finance and performance in the United States leads to the next section, which considers the implications of recent experiments in public-private and inter-firm R&D collaboration in other high-technology sectors for the photonics sector. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are presented.
The laser is a central technology within photonics, and a brief history of its development and expanding applications provides some insights into the economic effects of the much broader field of photonics, as well as underscoring the difficulties of measuring the economic impact of such a diverse field. First demonstrated in 1960 by Theodore Maiman of Hughes Aircraft, the laser built on fundamental research on microwave technology by Charles Townes and Arthur Schawlow at Columbia University and Bell Labs, respectively. The laser exhibits many of the characteristics of a "general-purpose technology"1 (other examples include information technology [IT], steam power, and electrical power), in that laser technology itself has been transformed by a series of important innovations, with numerous new types of lasers developed over the past 50 years. Innovations in lasers have broadened the applications of this technology, many of which have produced dramatic improvements in the performance of technologies incorporating
1 Rosenberg, N., and M. Trajtenberg. 2004. A general-purpose technology at work: The Corliss steam engine in the late-nineteenth-century United States. Journal of Economic History 64:61-99. In this paper, Rosenberg and Trajtenberg highlight four characteristics of a "general-purpose technology" (GPT): "first, it is a technology characterized by general applicability, that is, by the fact that it performs some generic function that is vital to the functioning of a large number of using products or production systems. Second, GPTs exhibit a great deal of technological dynamism: continuous innovational efforts increase over time the efficiency with which the generic function is performed, benefiting existing users, and prompting further sectors to adopt the improved GPT. Third, GPTs exhibit 'innovational complementarities' with the application sectors, in the sense that technical advances in the GPT make it more profitable for its users to innovate and improve their own technologies. Thus, technical advance in the GPT fosters or makes possible advances across a broad spectrum of application sectors. Improvements in those sectors increase in turn the demand for the GPT itself, which makes it worthwhile to further invest in improving it, thus closing up a positive loop that may result in faster, sustained growth for the economy as a whole" (p. 65).
