US 8014506 B2 Abstract Methods for managing and routine multiple telephone calls through a wireless network provide efficient and cost-effective ways in which a subscriber to the network can take advantage of the multiple services being offered. When the subscriber has only one line in the network, or when the subscriber often uses more than one line, multiple telephone calls may attempt transmission to the subscriber and so the subscriber may miss the call. The inventive methods determine what type of incoming call is attempting to contact the subscriber and routes the call to another location, such as the subscriber's voice mail, if the subscriber is otherwise occupying his or her line or lines in the network. The methods are particular useful for storing and forwarding facsimile messages to subscriber.
Claims(6) 1. A method for managing multiple telephone calls in a cellular network, the method comprising:
receiving a communication from a mobile telecommunication services subscriber associated with a mobile communication device having a mobile identification number, wherein;
the communication indicates that the subscriber wants a routing feature activated in connection with calls to the subscriber; and
the routing feature causes calls to be automatically routed based at least in part on whether the call includes a facsimile transmission;
activating, in response to receiving the communication, the routing feature for the subscriber, to create an activated routing feature associated with the mobile identification number;
associating the routing feature with the mobile identification number associated with the subscriber mobile communication device;
determining, at a server operating on the cellular network, that a call to the subscriber mobile communication device received at the cellular network comprises a facsimile transmission, the determining occurring before the call to the subscriber mobile communication device is connected to the subscriber mobile communication device;
determining, from call information associated with the call, a called mobile identification number associated with the call;
correlating, in a correlation, the called mobile identification number, of the call information associated with the call, to the subscriber mobile identification number associated with the routing feature;
determining whether the subscriber associated with the subscriber mobile communication device has activated the routing feature for automatically routing the incoming facsimile transmission based on the correlation;
routing the facsimile transmission to a voice mail system associated with the subscriber, without first indicating to the subscriber that the call for the subscriber has been received, if it is determined that the routing feature has been activated by the subscriber;
sending, following routing of the facsimile transmission to the voicemail system, a notification to the subscriber indicating that the facsimile transmission has been received at the voicemail system, wherein sending the notification includes sending a web page communication; and the notification comprises a characteristic of the facsimile transmission, the characteristic being at least one of a number of received pages, a time at which the facsimile transmission was received, and a date on which the facsimile transmission was received; and
forwarding the facsimile transmission to a secondary device upon receiving instructions from the subscriber via the voice mail system.
2. The method recited in
3. The method recited in
4. The method recited in
5. The method recited in
6. The method recited in
whether the call includes a facsimile transmission; and
a nature of the incoming call.
Description This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/745,209, filed on Dec. 21, 2000 now abandoned, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates generally to methods and systems for communicating and controlling data in a network. More specifically, the invention relates to managing and controlling incoming telephone calls to a network when subscribers to the network do not have multiple telephone lines in the network. 2. Description of the Related Art With the current explosion of wireless technologies and the implementation of sophisticated wireless networks, new wireless services are constantly being offered to wireless subscribers that allow the subscribers to take full advantage of advanced communications over the network. Many of these services require that a telephone call be placed to the subscriber so that the subscriber can access the service through the network. There has thus developed an acute need in the art for ways to manage these incoming telephone calls and ensure that the subscriber receives all of the services that he or she has subscribed to and that are provided by the network. Typically, a subscriber to a wireless network that is receiving services therefrom only has one line or telephone number through which it can access the network and receive services. However, it will be recognized that at any one time, more than one telephone call, including voice calls, may be attempting to contact the subscriber through the network. Additionally, as service offerings proliferate in wireless networks, it is envisioned that more than one service may attempt to access the subscriber at any one time. For example, the FAX machine has become a ubiquitous piece of equipment in the office environment. Most businesses and many home users employ FAX machines so that they can stay in communication with business associates, relatives and other people. In fact, FAX services have become an integral part of the plethora of Internet and wireless services that are now available. In fact FAX services in the wireless environment are already readily available to subscribers and so the aforementioned problems have arisen. Prior approaches to solving these problems have been proposed. For example, separate telephone lines apart from voice telephone lines may be provided to a subscriber that wishes wireless access to FAX machines. However, this is an expensive solution especially when the network over which the FAX signals will be sent is a wireless network. Therefore, it may be desirable to allow FAX and voice signals to be sent over a single channel with one telephone number. In order to accomplish this goal, it will be appreciated that if the user is not available at the telephone, the FAX call may be missed, or if the user is using the phone for voice communications, the FAX call will not go through. A method for overcoming these problems should therefore be devised. Other prior art approaches to address these issues have relied on detecting a FAX versus a voice call and alerting the user when a FAX call is coming in. The alert may be in the form of a web page sent to the user. In the area of cordless phones which have base units, when the base units include FAX machines the base units may be provided with functionality to differentiate the FAX call from the voice call without interrupting or otherwise alerting the user of the cordless phone. Voice and text storage systems also exist in the art wherein text, such as a FAX, may be stored in a user's mailbox in the system. None of the aforementioned solutions adequately provide methods and systems for FAX communications continuously to subscribers with only one telephone number for FAX and voice calls. Nor do these solutions automatically store and forward FAX transmissions to a subscriber over a single telephone line when the subscriber is occupying the line with a voice phone call. Moreover, the prior methods and systems for sending FAX signals over a single telephone line do not adequately identify FAX transmissions or alert the subscriber that a FAX has been or will be sent. There thus exists a long-felt need for methods which store and forward incoming telephone calls when only a single telephone line is available for multiple incoming telephone calls. The methods and systems should identify whether the call is a voice call or some other type of call and notify the user that another type of call FAX has been received. Additionally, it would be desirable if the methods and systems automatically and continuously accepted incoming telephone calls even when the subscriber is using the single line for a voice call. These needs have not heretofore been achieved in the art. The aforementioned problems are solved, and long-felt needs met, by methods of managing multiple telephone calls in a network. In a preferred embodiment, the methods receive an incoming call having a first character for a subscriber to the network. It is then determined whether the incoming telephone call has the first character or a second character in order to classify the incoming telephone call. The call is then routed to a location depending upon its classification as a telephone call of the first or second character. Methods of routing telephone calls in a network also satisfy the aforementioned long-felt needs. Preferably, an incoming telephone call to the network is received that is intended for a subscriber to the network. The incoming call is classified as either a voice call or another type of call. If the call is classified as a voice call, it is routed to the subscriber. However, if the call is classified as another type of call, it is routed to another location. It may then be stored at the other location and forwarded to the subscriber at some future time. The inventive methods are particularly useful for storing and forwarding of FAX and other incoming telephone calls to subscribers, especially when the subscriber has only a single line in the network. Advantageously, the methods allow automatic and continuous receipt of FAX messages even when the subscriber is using the single line for voice calls. This greatly reduces the costs to the subscriber for receiving FAX transmissions and allows the subscriber great versatility in using the network. Such results have not heretofore been achieved in the art. These and other features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the drawings are designed solely for purposes of illustration and not as a definition of the limits of the invention, for which reference should be made to the appended claims. In the drawings wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the several views thereof: Referring now to A subscriber 20 to wireless network 10 will communicate with the network 10 through a standard wireless device such as a mobile telephone, a personal or laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA) a beeper, a FAX machine, or any other device which is configured to transmit and receive wireless communications. This communication can be received by any communications device as will be described in more detail. Typically, subscriber 20 will only have one wireless telephone line to network 10, but subscriber 20 may subscribe to more than one wireless line. Whether subscriber 20 has access to one or more lines to network 10, there will doubtless be times when all of the subscriber 20's lines are being occupied, or are otherwise in use such that an incoming call to the subscriber 20 through network 10 will not be able to be completed. This scenario will occur since many other parties and devices may try to contact subscriber 20 at the same time. For example, but not intending to limit the invention in any way, a standard landline telephone 20, a personal or laptop computer 40, a FAX machine 50, a wireless telephone 60, a beeper 70, a PDA (wireless or landline-based) 80, or other devices may be used by others to try and contact subscriber 20 through network 10. Conventionally, a server 90 is associated with network 10 and provides the required functionality to run data and voice communications through network 10. There are many servers that are commercially available on the market today which are used to drive networks, for example, the PROLIANT server sold by Compaq Computer Corp. (Houston, Tex.) may be employed. Other servers are known to those skilled in the art which may also be used to run network 10. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the inventive methods may be implemented as a software program or programs, or in modules associated with a larger software program such as an operating system for network 10. The software may be written in any appropriate software language such as C++, VISUALBASIC, or others, and may be implemented in any operating system environment such as UNIX, WINDOWS or other operating systems. In a preferred embodiment, server 90 runs the software to perform the inventive methods. After an incoming call is received by the network 10 and the server 90 is notified thereof, it is desired to process the received call with a processing block for the received call which receives and processes data information associated with the received call. Then, the call is classified by a classification block 110 to determine the nature and character of the call so that it can be routed to the appropriate location. Once classification has taken place, routing module 120 routes the call to the appropriate location either in the network 10, to the subscriber 20, or to some other location outside the network 10. The classified call can be routed to virtually any location desired, in or out of the network. For example, the call may be directly and immediately routed to subscriber 20. Further, the call may be routed to the subscriber's voice mail 130, to a storage area or device 140 or to any other appropriate location 150 which may later be contacted by the subscriber or others for retrieval or for other actions depending on the nature and/or character of the incoming call. As has been mentioned above, the inventive methods may be implemented in software in the appropriate software language. It is then preferably determined at step 190 whether the incoming call is of the first character. If so, then at step 200 the call is routed directly to the subscriber. If not, to then at step 210 the call is routed to the subscriber's voice mail on the network for storage or other action. In this scenario, the call has a second character, for example it is determined to be a FAX machine call, and the first character is a voice mail call. However, it will be further appreciated that these calls may have different characters and may therefore be routed to other locations. In any event, the method then proceeds to step 220 where it is determined whether there are other incoming calls to the network that must be routed and classified in accordance with the present invention. If so, then the method proceeds back to step 170 for further processing. If not, then the method stops at step 230. Classification of the character of the incoming call and/or determination of the type of call can occur in several ways. For example, it is known that each of the subscribers to the network are assigned a mobile identification number (MIN) when the network is a wireless network. When an incoming call is received at the network, the network then determines whether the subscriber identified by the MIN has the feature activated that is associated with the character to be determined. For example, if the subscriber desires that FAX transmissions be routed to his or her voice mail, then this option is activated and the system will route FAX transmissions to voice mail after the FAX character of the incoming call has been determined. The determination that the incoming call is a FAX call may be determined by detecting whether or not there are any tones associated with the FAX transmission in the incoming call. If these tones exist, then the call is determined to be a FAX transmission which is preferably automatically routed to voice mail. If no tones are present, the call may be assumed to be a voice call which is directly routed to the subscriber. Even more preferably, after the FAX call is routed to voice mail, the system notifies the subscriber that a FAX has been received. This may be accomplished a number of ways. For example, the network may send a wireless communication to the subscriber that a FAX communication is in voice mail, or the network may institute a web page communication to the user that the FAX has been placed in voice mail. Moreover, the inventive methods may determine more than one characteristic about the incoming call, for example, how long the communication is, how many FAX pages are associated with the communication, the time and date of the communication, and other characteristics that may be of interest to the subscriber, the network or others. Additional features may also be added, for example, the inventive methods may be modified to allow the subscriber to dial into his or her voice mail to select and forward the communication to another location such as another FAX machine in or out of the network for printing. Thus, the inventive methods store and forward FAX and other incoming telephone calls to subscribers of a network, especially when the subscriber has only a single line in the network. This provides automatic and continuous receipt of FAX and other messages even when the subscriber is using the single line for voice calls. The inventive methods thereby greatly reduce the costs to the subscriber for receiving FAX transmissions and other message and allow the subscriber great versatility in using the network. These results have not heretofore been achieved in the art. While there have been shown and described and pointed out certain novel features of the present invention as applied to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the methods and apparatus described herein, and in their operation, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is expressly intended that all combinations of those elements and/or method steps which perform substantially the same function in substantially the same way to achieve the same results are within the scope of the invention. Substitutions of method steps and elements from one described embodiment to another are also fully intended and contemplated. It is the intention, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the claims appended hereto. Patent Citations

Just thought I'd confirm that there are themes that will flash over the top of the pre rooted Roms that ironass wrote a guide on..... This is no dummies guide(except it's written by a dummy/while sucking a dummy :-s) just a quick list of what I've done and a link...possibly updated later with a few other links... Firstly I'm on djembys(sp?) Mf5 based stock Rom, I then flashed the deodexed file available on the xda page(I'm not sure if it would have been required or not, but I figured it's better to be safe than sorry! After this,I downloaded vertumus's theme from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2304251&highlight=mf5 and flashed through cwm....however I personally like to have a battery icon with the percentage within, so I downloaded a battery icon from the list of 600(I'll get a link later) and flashed it separately....I do however have Rom toolbox pro, so actually backed up the battery icon first, then flashed the zip for my new icon Prior to all this,I did of course do a nandroid I'll give a few more links tomorrow and possibly even a screenshot. As you can see, I've not quite got the hang of being able to upload pictures properly as I always have issues with sizing...any way, here are a couple that have been cropped almost to extinction.Lol I will also add the link to the battery mod as you can see I went for blue Android, but there are 600 to choose from! Also the theme changes the settings menus to be all black with white writing, similar to that on a nexus device/ cyanogenmod Rom! Personally I'm not bothered about the settings menu, but I do like the blue icons Here is the link for battery mods http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280597&highlight=battery+modifications I had better mention that other themes do also work, important thing is to ensure that it is compatible with the firmware your running,I had also tried a black chrome theme which didn't quite work the way I had planned,With vertimus's theme the dialer etc are also themed Let us know what theme you go for and any combos
Nice one sntaylor! :thumbup: Good to see a few more mods coming out for the S4 now that it's been out for a couple of months.
Quick update on the battery icon side...I have had a slight issue in that the percentage isn't going down :-(shall try restoring a nandroid and have a play about, possibly even with other icons too
Well I'm still at work....but it has finally come down,I put the percentage back on in the display section do I've got a comparison and currently the icon is saying 57, while percentage is at 55% so it's not too bad a difference now.it might still be trying to recalibrate after the flashing I did yesterday....Will see what it's like when I get home tonight!

Past Sailing
All aboard the Celebrity Millennium for 7 relaxing nights on this Southbound Alaska Cruise exploring Alaska & Nth.America Pacific . Your ship departs from Seward and visits 8 ports in 2 countries before returning to Vancouver. This 4.5 star voyage from Celebrity Cruises has 16 forward departures, but is unfortunately sold out for this departure.
Day | Date | Port of call | Arrival | Departure |
1 | Fri 17 Aug 2012 | Seward, USA | 8.00pm | |
Ice-free the year round, Seward was a natural choice as the ocean terminal and supply centre during the construction of the Alaska Railroad. Fishing is great all year round and not surprisingly Seward is famous for its Annual Silver Salmon Derby, the biggest fishing event in Alaska. Also very well known is its Fourth of July celebration that features a gruelling foot race to the top of Mt. Marathon. The small coastal town itself is known for its scenic views, several fantastic trips and tours as well as its fine selection of shops. Fascinating things to do include: a day trip to the Kenai Fjords National Park with its abundant marine life and awesome glaciers, and finding out what lives beneath the surface of Resurrection Bay and Prince William Sound by visiting the Sea Life Centre that is financed in part by the infamous Exxon Valdez oil spill settlement. Other options include taking an exciting Dog Sled ride at Exit Glacier, or kayaking at Fox Island. A very popular option includes a visit to Anchorage, which is connected to Seward by both a very scenic train trip as well as the highway that is a national scenic byway. In Anchorage visitors find a delightful city, friendly people, great shopping and good restaurants. Above all if there be sure to include a visit to its amazing Anchorage Museum that presents a fantastic view of the history of the area. more/less... |
2 | Sat 18 Aug 2012 | Hubbard Glacier, USA | 2.00pm | 6.00pm |
Marching to the beat of a different drum, Hubbard Glacier is advancing while the rest of Alaska's ice rivers are receding rapidly. In 1986 and again in 2002 the glacier galloped forward, closing off Russell Fjord to create an entirely new lake. These phenomena quickly passed and were followed by short retreats, but the glacier is once again on the move and Russell Fjord is headed for another spell as an inland body of water. Hubbard Glacier is the longest tidewater glacier in Alaska, extending over 120 km from its source on Mt Logan in the Yukon. As Hubbard advances it creaks and groans as it moves and is a very actively calving glacier. This makes for some exciting moments when the huge chunks of ice crash into the bay creating a wonderful sound known locally as 'white thunder'. The sail up to Hubbard is both leisurely and beautiful. Small ice bergs, sometimes with sea birds or seals resting on them, float in the water that is glacial blue. Seals calve on the ice bergs here as Orca whales do not visit the bay. This huge white and ice blue glacier is lit by the most amazing, unpolluted day light you have ever seen. The ship gets up so close you can pick out the colours and lines all along the Glacier. Then are heard massive cracks, like gunshots, as avalanches and ice drop off the Glacier itself. It is truly an amazing once in a lifetime sight, possibly a Wonder of the World. more/less... |
3 | Sun 19 Aug 2012 | Juneau, USA | 9.00am | 9.00pm |
Built on a narrow shelf between Mt. Juneau and the deep waters of Gastineau Channel, Juneau is Alaska's state capital and a rewarding destination for glacier viewing. Juneau is a blend of fishermen and teachers, legislators and artists, homemakers and lawyers, union workers and frontier entrepreneurs, students and Native elders, all sharing an active port city within an inspiring wilderness setting. Visitors often take the Mount Roberts Tramway, an aerial tramway, that takes them from the cruise ship docks up to the SW ridge of Mount Roberts, providing great scenic views of Juneau and the Gastineau Channel. Twenty kilometres out of town is the Mendenhall glacier, a must-see. In front of the federal building, the large fountain with its bronze statue of pelicans, which are not indigenous to Alaska, is most appealing. Juneau is home to the Alaska State Museum, which contains a life-sized eagle tree, as well as other permanent galleries. However, you must visit the Red Dog Saloon with its swinging doors, sawdust floors, and flag covered ceiling. The cherished memorabilia that includes Wyatt Earp's gun, a walrus oosik (a walrus penis bone), trophy, wildlife mounts, historical posters, photographs, and currency signed by miners, simply just blows one away. Juneau Whale Watch's custom boats depart from Auke Bay Harbour and explore Alaska's Inside Passage for the best Juneau whale watching. May through September this spot is the playground for whales, eagles, Orca, bears, as well as a number of different seabirds. In fact it is one of the largest concentrations of Humpback whales found anywhere on the planet. That's how they can guarantee that whales will be seen. On top of that visitors will witness some of the most spectacular views, sharp rising snow-capped mountains on either side of calm, clear blue water, surrounded by lush green fir trees. more/less... |
4 | Mon 20 Aug 2012 | Skagway, USA | 7.00am | 8.30pm |
Skagway in Alaska, USA, is an historical city where the past lives on, and a place where the romance and excitement of yesteryear linger around every street corner as well as in every bend of the trail. Gateway to the Klondike and the Gold Rush, visitors can still ride the antique White Pass and Yukon narrow-gauge railway up through silvery-purple rock faces, past Deadhorse Gulch, to see what it was like back then. While in Skagway you can easily walk around town, see all of the historical sites along the back streets and stroll down historic Broadway. Rent a bicycle or automobile and give yourself a tour in Southeast Alaska. Also available are helicopter tours that prove very popular, while biking and rock- climbing adventures are also popular. Organized tours of Skagway may include stops at the Trail of '98 Museum, Gold Rush Cemetery and viewing Skagway from the lookout perched on a mountainside above the city. Comfortable motorcoach tours are available to the interesting Yukon community of Carcross. Sit down at one of the small cafes, or taste something in an Alaskan brew pub, or treat yourself to a meal in a restaurant with surprises created by local chefs. The very reasonably priced on-off day bus pass will take you from the pier to the Klondike goldfield area to the delightful Jewell Garden, where a white-topped mountain background contrasts with a riot of colourful plants, and a miniature railroad setting await you. Skagway is famous for its hospitality. When gold was discovered in Nome in 1899, Skagway's population plummeted, and the town nearly fell into ruin. Saved by tourism in the 1920s, Skagway today is a sort of living history centre. Every summer, hundreds of actors and historians recreate the excitement of the Gold Rush for thousands of cruise ship visitors. more/less... |
5 | Tue 21 Aug 2012 | Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), USA | 7.00am | 4.00pm |
Alaska's newest cruise port, Icy Strait Point, is located just down the road from Hoonah, and 35 km S.E. of Glacier Bay National Park. It is the result of collaboration between the local communities and cruise corporations, to attract visitors eager to experience America's 'last wilderness.' Millions of dollars have been invested in creating a facility that offers cruise travellers an authentic and refreshing Arctic experience. Visitors can explore secluded beaches, take walks through old-growth forests, experience some of the best whale-watching and bear viewing opportunities, as well as ride the world's highest zip line. Also on offer is the opportunity to get an understanding of the history and culture of the villagers by listening to Tlingit Native stories, and taking note of the buildings that are constructed from sustainable local timber and built by local Tlingit workers in traditional style. Take the time to browse through the craft shops that feature local artisan crafts. Then visit the free museum and the Historic Salmon Cannery that is over 100 years old. There's an amazing amount of history around these buildings, and inside the cannery all of the businesses are Alaskan-owned and operated. Be sure to taste the local food at the high quality restaurants. Meet the Indians of the Village at their Indian Show. Locally-carved totems and canoes and handmade native crafts are still made in the traditional style today by Tlingit residents. Take in the breathtaking scenery of Chichagof Island and enjoy numerous wildlife encounters. Home to over 250 species of waterfowl and birds, Hoonah is a bird-watchers paradise. There are several tours on offer to get out in nature, or view Glacier Bay from the air. Cruise with the whales, search for brown bears, go kayaking, book a charter fishing excursion, or watch the wildlife. more/less... |
6 | Wed 22 Aug 2012 | Ketchikan, USA | 9.00pm | 6.00pm |
Alaska's 'first city' Ketchikan is situated along the shores of Alaska's Inside Passage within the heart of the Tongass National Forest. Evergreen mountains rise out of the water, the lush green landscape nurtured by the abundant rainfall of the temperate rainforest environment. Visitors are presented with a remarkable array of activities and attractions that highlight the town's history, industry and culture, and bring them up close to resident wildlife. Ketchikan's impressive variety of shops and galleries feature work by many of the island's resident artists as well as an assortment of souvenir items and unique gifts that make shopping a 'must-do'. Visitors are presented with a good choice of one-day tours that can be enjoyed in four hours or less. These include a self-guided option based on the official Walking Tour map that directs visitors to the numbered signs posted along the routes. Together with this, visitors can pay for an audio walking tour, which provides insightful information about what is seen. Also on offer is the opportunity to experience the real Alaska by going fishing or wild-life viewing. Another option is to rent a 'classic car' that includes a self-touring guide, an experience that helps visitors 'return to their youth'. Truly worth visiting are the Ketchikan Alaska Museums and Heritage Centres that are home to fascinating totem poles and native Alaskan artefacts, along with preserving and promoting local traditional arts and crafts. These include the Tongass Historical Museum with both permanent and temporary exhibits, and the Southeast Alaska Discovery Centre with a flexible plan that allows for improvisation by educational groups, community groups and families. If possible enjoy the amazing local food on offer, such as king crab, salmon and halibut, Ketchikan's seafood specialties that are always fresh. Ketchikan has a climate greatly modified and moderated by its maritime location. more/less... |
7 | Thu 23 Aug 2012 | Inside Passage, Canada | cruising | |
The Inside Passage is a coastal route for ocean-going vessels along a network of passages that weave through the islands on the Pacific coast of North America. The route extends from southeastern Alaska in the United States, through western British Columbia in Canada, to northwestern Washington State in the USA. Ships using the route can avoid some of the bad weather in the open ocean and may visit some of the many isolated communities along the route. Carved by glaciers and blanketed with majestic hemlock and spruce, the Passage is a region of pristine water, snow-capped mountains, deep fjords and forested islands. With its mild, maritime climate, this area is a prime habitat for bald eagles, sea lions, porpoises and whales. Glacier Bay National park has 16 active tidewater glaciers, and Misty Fiords National Monument near Ketchikan has 900 m cliffs rising directly from pristine ocean channels. Alaska's Inside Passage offers spectacular scenery, abundant wild-life, vivid Native cultures, astounding history and exceptional hospitality that are hallmarks of the region. Interestingly, the Inside Passage is also a destination for kayakers and canoeists from all over the world, who paddle along the fjords from British Columbia to Glacier Bay in Alaska. People have been living along the Inside Passage for a very long time. Due to the fluctuations in sea level over the millennia, much of the record of human habitation is under water. Original visitors travelled the Inside Passage in spectacular seagoing canoes. From 1791-95, England's Captain George Vancouver made extensive charts of the entire Inside Passage and he and his crew are responsible for many of the names on the map today. Now, in addition to the large 2,000-passenger ships traditionally associated with Inside Passage cruise tours, you can enjoy active, small ship cruises. more/less... |
8 | Fri 24 Aug 2012 | Vancouver, Canada | 7.00am | |
Vancouver is a sophisticated coastal city located to the south of British Columbia, Canada. The city is linguistically and ethnically diverse as reflected in the fact that 52 percent of its inhabitants do not speak English as their first language. Ranked highly in worldwide 'liveable city' rankings for many years and being surrounded by nature's scenery at its best, makes tourism its second largest industry. This beautiful city brims with attractions such as Vancouver's Olympic Village located on the SE side of False Creek, which offers stunning views of the city's downtown skyline and Coastal mountains. The city is also renowned for its unique dining experiences, boutiques, and shopping districts such as Antique Row, and exotic Chinatown. Don't miss the historically renovated Gastown - the oldest downtown neighborhood - filled with great souvenirs, good food, and Native Arts and Crafts. If you are looking for funky, hip stuff, then visit Commercial Drive and Central Granville. To relax, visit the delightful Stanley Park, resplendent with its deep forest, totem poles, and scenic promenades. Its nickname Hollywood North comes as no surprise, as it is the third- largest film production centre in North America. Of great assistance to visitors is the very modern Tourism Vancouver Visitor Centre. Here one finds helpful volunteers to find pictures and maps for all kinds of locations, including all the restaurants, attractions, activity information, and coupons. Also available is the public transportation map, which is helpful to get around the town if you want to go outside of walking distance, and don't want to use rental car or cab. Also popular with visitors are: Granville Island that offers a feast for the senses; Grouse Mountain, especially in the snow season for skiing and snowboarding; and Whistler, a luxurious slice of paradise just a two hour drive away. more/less... |
Celebrity Millennium circles the Pacific. Until August 2015 Celebrity Millennium runs 7-night cruises each way between Seward (for Anchorage, Alaska) and Vancouver, through the Inside Passage lined with fjords and their glaciers. Then until February 2016 she offers 14-night cruises to your choice of countries in E and SE Asia: China, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand – and of course Hong Kong and Singapore. In mid-March 2016 take the 16-night cruise from Singapore to Sydney at a very reasonable cost, and/or continue on across the Pacific via Hawaii to Vancouver over 28 nights. From May to August 2016 she runs 7-night tours of the fjord coastline between Vancouver and Seward (for Anchorage). Cross the North Pacific from Vancouver to Japan in September 2016. This ship is excellent for 12-night cruises of East and South-East Asia.
Four out of five cabins have an outside view, and of these three-quarters have a private balcony. Standard cabins have a sofa or convertible sofa bed, twin beds that convert to a double bed, plenty of storage space, personal safe, mini-bar/refrigerator, interactive TV, and good-size bathroom. The cabins are nicely decorated and appealing with warm wood-finish furniture. Suites have more space, butler service, more and better amenities and personal service. Those at the stern are in a prime location. There are no single cabins, and 26 wheelchair-accessible cabins available in the Sky Suites.
Food and Dining
The two-deck 134-seat Metropolitan Dining Room, with its grand staircase and musicians' gallery overlooking the sea through a huge glass wall, offers excellent meals and service at two dinner seatings. The decor adds to the fine dining experience. The alternative dining venue, the Olympic Restaurant (reservations-only, extra cost), serves classic French cuisine in absolute style - allow three hours.
The 900-seat Celebrity Theatre is the three-deck venue for production shows, major cabaret acts and big-screen movies. During the voyage relax in solitude, or select your level of conversation and excitement. Daytime activities include a broad range of classes and competitions. For evening entertainment there are soloists at the cafes and bars, participation in karaoke, and of course the casino. The Celebrity Life enrichment program is divided into three themes. "Savor" focuses on wine appreciation, mixology (of drinks), and cooking. The "Discover" program draws on the educational expertise of famous institutions. Passengers learn about the history, culture, art and architecture of destinations; and broaden their exposure to language study, photography, modern digital technologies and dance, to name a few.

Significance and Use
This practice has been widely used to obtain mass balance data for process scrubbers, to determine the efficiency of VOC emission control equipment, and to obtain data to support air permit applications.
This practice will have applications to the MACT Rule and may have applications to Compliance Assurance Monitoring verification required by the 1990 Clean Air Act Title III Amendments.
This practice, when used with Test Methods D3464 or D3154 or on-line process flow meter data, can be used to calculate detailed emission rate profiles for VOCs from process vents.
This practice provides nearly real time results that can detect process changes or upsets that may be missed using conventional sorbent tube or integrated gas sampling bag sampling.
1. Scope
1.1 This practice describes a method for direct sampling and analysis of process vents for volatile organic compound (VOC) vapors and permanent gases using a portable gas chromatograph (GC).
1.2 This practice is applicable to analysis of permanent gases such as oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2), as well as vapors from organic compounds with boiling points up to 125°C.
1.3 The detection limits obtained will depend on the portable gas chromatograph and detector used. Detectors available include thermal conductivity, photoionization, argon ionization, and electron capture. For instruments equipped with thermal conductivity detectors, typical detection limits are one to two parts per million by volume (ppm(v)) with an applicable concentration range to high percent by volume levels. For instruments with photoionization detectors detection limit of one to ten parts per billion by volume (ppb(v)) are obtainable with a concentration range from 1000 to 2000 ppm(v). The argon ionization detector has an achievable detection limit of one (ppb(v)), while the electron capture detector has an achievable detection limit of one part per trillion by volume (ppt(v)) for chlorinated compounds.
1.4 The applicability of this practice should be evaluated for each VOC by determining stability, reproducibility, and linearity.
1.5 The appropriate concentration range must also be determined for each VOC, as the range will depend on the vapor pressure of the particular VOC.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Refer to Section 8 on Hazards for additional safety precautions.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Live Super Bowl Odds
One of the best ways to get involved with betting on Super Bowl XLIX will be live Super Bowl odds. With live odds, you'll have a continuously updated, changing selection of odds you can utilize over the course of the game from start to finish. This creates a fun new way to place your bets, while potentially allowing you to capitalize on some very rare opportunities. The way that live odds work is pretty simple. Before the game starts, you have your set odds on who's going to win the game. In the days and weeks leading up to game time, that line is going to be shifting and moving around depending on who's playing their bets where. Right now, the Patriots are 1 point dogs against the Seahawks, but that's already moved back and forth a bit. Once the game starts, that betting...

The first ever College Football Playoff Championship game is set for Monday, January 12th 2015 when the Ohio State Buckeyes play the Oregon Ducks. The Buckeyes have not garnered much respect from the odds makers as they opened as 7 point underdogs to the Ducks however that line has been falling at sportsbooks all week and it now sits at 6 points. The posted game total opened at 74 points and has now been pushed up to 75 or even 75.5 across all betting shops. Here is your 2015 College Football Playoffs Championship free pick for Ohio State and Oregon. Currently there is a little over 60% of the betting public taking the Oregon Ducks to beat the spread against the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Jack Jone's Alamo Bowl Free Pick: UCLA -1.5 The UCLA Bruins (9-3) certainly had aspirations of winning a national title coming into the season. They were a popular sleeper pick of many to not only win the Pac-12, but to make the four-team playoff. Well, they did not live up to expectations, but those early-season predictions were warranted because this team is so talented. They had 17 starters coming back this year from a team that won 10 games last season. I look for the Bruins to win 10 games for a second consecutive year with a victory over Kansas State in the Alamo Bowl. There is a lot to like about this team, especially the way they played down the stretch after a slow start to the year. The Bruins won five of their final six games of the season with their only loss coming to Stanford....

On August 24th, 1942 the British Lt Wooll of No. 1 PRU had to shut down one
of the engines on a recognition flight over Venice due to overheating. He realised
he could not make it back to GB and decided to land in Bern-Belp. He did not
manage to destroy the aircraft before the swiss military took control over it.
Although Switzerland was neutral in WWII, Britain was afraid the aircraft could
fall into the hands of the german military. This was the first Mosquito to fall
into non-allied hands. On August 1st, 1943 Switzerland and Britain agreed, that
the aircraft was allowed to fly under swiss registration E-42. It was first
used for test flights by swiss military and was sold to Swissair in July 1944.
In October 1944 Swissair started doing postal-flights with the aircraft beginning
January 1945 under the Registration HB-IMO. It was also used for instruction
flights for swissair pilots.
After the end of the war Swissair stopped its postal operations and returned
the aircraft to the swiss military which flew it until August 1946. Thereafter
the aircraft was broken up and used for spare parts, beeing deleted from the
swiss register on July 1st, 1951.

North Shore Wins Hawaii Winter Baseball Championship
Stacy Kaneshiro
November 24, 2006
HONOLULU--The Honu, or Hawaiian sea turtle, is endangered in these parts. But the North Shore Honu was simply dangerous against the Waikiki BeachBoys in a 5-1 victory for the Hawaii Winter Baseball championship at Les Murakami Stadium.
An announced crowd of 3,783--by far the largest of the seven-week season watched the West champion Honu (19-17) get four-hit pitching from their two pitchers and post 14 hits against the East champion BeachBoys (20-17).
"I'm so proud of these kids," said Honu manager Dave Clark, the Astros' Double-A manager at Corpus Christi (Texas).
The Honu went down to the second to the last day of the regular season to clinch the West by a half-game, while the BeachBoys took their division by 4 1/2 games.
Lefthander Joe Thatcher (2-1) pitched 4 1/3 innings of one-hit ball, striking out three in relief of starter Blake Eager, while Hawaii native Rodney Choy Foo (Indians) drove in the tying and go-ahead runs to lead the Honu.
Thatcher said he used mostly fastballs.
"I think I threw three or four curveballs and maybe and one changeup," said Thatcher (Brewers). "I was just being aggressive, going right at them.
"I didn't expect to go that long. I didn't go that long all year. Coaches had faith in me, kept running me out there. Drew Butera did a heck of a job behind the plate; the best catcher I've ever thrown to."
Clark added he kept Thatcher in long because he wanted to keep switch hitters Eric Young Jr. and Dexter Fowler in the righthanded hitter's box.
"He did a great job of keeping those guys off the bases and keeping them from scoring runs," Clark said.
But before Thatcher entered the game, the BeachBoys squandered golden opportunities. They took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth on a solo home run by Mark Minicozzi (Giants); it was his fifth of the season which tied him for the league lead with West Oahu's Yasushi Iihara (Yakult Swallows).
Before the homer, Young led off with a walk, but was thrown out stealing second, a play that BeachBoys manager Lenn Sakata (Giants manager at high Class A San Jose) argued to no avail.
If that wasn't enough, the BeachBoys blew another chance in the fifth. Reed Eastley (Mariners) led off with a triple to center. But Chris Nelson (Rockies) flied out to shallow center, freezing Eastley at third and Ian Desmond grounded out to third, again holding Eastley, for the second out.
Clark pulled Eager for Thatcher to face the left-handed hitting Sebastien Boucher, who struck out on four pitches.
Still, with lefthander Atushi Nohmi (Hanshin Tigers), who entered the game with the second lowest ERA at 1.29 going for the BeachBoys, it looked like it was going to be a long night for the Honu. Nohmi scattered four hits in five scoreless innings, striking out seven. But Sakata lifted him for lefthhander Hirotaka Egusa (2-1) to start the sixth, when the Honu went small-ball to tie the game.
Darren Ford (Brewers) singled and advanced to second on Lorenzo Cain's (Brewers) bunt single. Dustin Martin (Mets), who doubled his first two times up, sacrificed the runners over.
With the infield playing back, Choy Foo's ground out to second scored Ford to make it 1-1.
The Honu snapped the deadlock in the eighth. With one out, Cain singled and took third when Martin reached on second baseman Young's fielding error.
Choy Foo went the opposite way with a double to left to score Cain to put his team ahead, 2-1, and send Martin to third, where he scored on Mike Carp's flare single to left to make it 3-1.
"He came in fastball the first time, so I tried not to miss that," Choy Foo said. "I was just kind of cheating on it. I got lucky to get my bat on it to help my team out."
The Honu added two more in the ninth off Andrew Johnston on Cain's two-run single.
"(Nohmi) wasn't pitching well," Sakata said of his decision to lift his starting pitcher. "He was struggling and to make the change there was the right thing to do, hoping that the other guy would do better.
"I think we got beat my not executing the simple fundamentals of picking up a little ground ball. (And) we didn't hit. There's a number of reasons we didn't push ahead and have the lead. But that's baseball."
Players mingled a while after the game, but some had flights and left as soon as the game ended. Thatcher wasn't to leave until Thanksgiving night. But he didn't mind.
"I'm missing Thanksgiving,"said Thatcher, decorated with lei from well-wishers, "but this makes it all worth it right here."
• League chairman and chief executive officer
Duane Kurisu
said that while the league did not make money, its losses were substantially less than the league's first time around from 1993 to 1997, when HWB paid the players' salaries. This time, Major League Baseball paid the players and Fullcast, a Japanese human resources company, was a title sponsor.
Kurisu said HWB officials will attend the winter baseball meetings next month in Florida, where they wlll meet with the MLB farm directors. He said he will then go to Japan in January to meet with team officials from Nippon Professional Baseball.
He added the league is considering taking some series to the islands of Maui and Hawaii (the big island), where HWB originally had teams. Some of the league's best fan support came from those islands, even though Oahu has the largest population.
The league appeared to be a hit among the managers and players.
"If we can continue with this league--it's a great developmental league--then I'll do everything I can to continue to promote it," Clark said.
"It was well-run," Sakata said. "There were some mistakes, but overall we played a lot of games. I think the kids will benefit down the road and, hopefully, get to the big leagues."
• Honu third baseman
Koby Clemens
(Astros), son of pitching great
Roger Clemens
, liked the international appeal of the league.
"I think it made it better more than any other thing," he said of having teammates from Japan. "I've never been around Japanese players (before). Got to see their kind of game and their little spin off it. It's very similar and very different at the same time. Learning new things is so much fun up here."
Clemens' brother,
, was at the championship game. Koby said Kory will be walking-on at the University of Texas.
• Honu pitcher
Zach Hammes
(Dodgers) and
Nyjer Morgan
(Pirates) were added to their respective teams' 40-man rosters while in Hawaii.
"It's a good prize for the end of a long season," Hammes said. "I struggled for a while, but it just shows if you keep working, stuff will work out for you. It was a good surprise. I had an all right year and I did all right out here (0-1, 1.23 ERA, 18 Ks in 15 innings). It's good to be protected, but now your goal is to get to the big leagues."
• During a preseason welcoming party, Kurisu announced to the players that they will have to vote for a most inspirational player before the season ended. The winner would get a surfboard that had its respective team logos on it. The winners were announced at a mid-season party at the Waikiki Aquarium. They were: West Oahu outfielder
Tomotaka Sakaguchi
(Orix Buffaloes), Honolulu infielder
Masaya Ozaki
(Nippon Ham Fighters), North Shore pitcher
Yusuke Kawasaki
(Chiba Lotte Marines) and Waikiki catcher
Devin Ivany

Fixing The NYC Schools July 30, 2000
By Jay P. Greene
The Campaign for Fiscal Equity, begrudging the fact that some wealthy suburban school districts spend more per pupil than does New York City, is suing the state for more funding. The citys Board of Education could certainly find ways to spend more cash, but no one should be deluded into thinking that extra funds are likely to help improve the education of students in the city very much if at all.
At more than $9,000 per pupil, New York City already spends more than 94 of the 100 largest school districts in the country. Washington, D.C. and Newark are among those that spend more, but they are hardly exemplars of educational success.
With all this spending, why do the citys students continue to rack up awful scores on every objective achievement test? Part of the reason is surely how the Board of Ed spends the money. As The Post reported on Wednesday, a new study reveals that New York City teachers have the shortest workday of all large U.S. school districts, 51/2 hours - an hour less than Los Angeles, for example. And a Tuesday Post report revealed that teachers at some of the citys worst schools spend more than 20 percent of their time outside the classroom.
In fact, study after study of per-pupil spending in U.S. schools has failed to find much if any independent effect of per-pupil spending on student achievement after controlling for family background and student characteristics. Students in wealthy suburbs may have higher average test scores and may spend even more per pupil than the city, but their higher achievement is almost entirely attributable to their privileged families and not to extra spending.
Spending more money certainly doesnt hurt student achievement and it may even help improve learning - if the money is used properly. The problem is that in monopolistic public school districts, there are few incentives to make sure that extra money translates into extra learning. We may hire some more teachers and pay them better, but those teachers receive those higher salaries regardless of how their students perform.
Consider: Would increasing the amount spent on the state Legislature improve the quality of laws passed in New York? Raise legislators pay and give them more staff. The likely result? Wealthier representatives with more staff to help them get re-elected - and no noticeable improvement in the quality of legislation. Pouring more money into a government bureaucracy without addressing the incentives for improved service is likely to do little more than increase the burden on taxpayers.
In fact, this has been the experience in U.S. education over the last several decades. Since 1961, per-pupil spending has nearly tripled, even after adjusting for inflation, to a national average of $6,915 per student. Yet national test scores for high school students, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, have not changed at all since they first began testing in the early 1970s.
We have greatly increased teacher salaries and hired more teachers for decades now, with no significant change in student achievement. To really improve student achievement, New Yorks schools must find ways to change the incentives of teachers and administrators so that additional resources actually help students.
For example, the Board of Ed could consider attaching pay to student performance. Or it could give vouchers to families so that teachers and administrators had to "earn" the money by attracting and retaining students who were not being held captive in a non-responsive public system.
Of course, the teacher unions hate these proposals as much if not more than they love the idea of getting more money from the state. Until union resistance is overcome, dont expect much from more money beyond higher paid teachers.

trade your components on this new board: "Components trade"
Hi everyone,I fancy messing around with some newbielink:http://www.niceledlights.com [nonactive] microcontroller stuff and I've always fancied being able to build a system where I can switch plug sockets on/off. I was thinking of using an Atmega to accomplish this. I believe I would have to use some relays to switch on/off a 240v AC source? Can anyone point me in the right direction to information which could help me with this? If this was about switching a 5v DC source I'd quite happily get my teeth right in there but with this working with 240v I would be happier knowing I'm doing this safely. Any hints/tips/advice you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.KG

Title: | Reconciliation: Resolution or rhetoric? |
Authors: | Hanna, Penelope Indigenous Heath Studies |
Keywords: | reconciliation racism health status Indigenous Aboriginal |
Issue Date: | 2000 |
Abstract: | This research study explores and presents the different perspectives of the Australian reconciliation movement. It is to ascertain how the ideals proposed by the reconciliation process might have impact upon the health of Indigenous Australians. Specifically, this study asks: 1. What are the different perspectives on Reconciliation? 2. Can the different ideals proposed by the various advocates of the reconciliation movement have an impact upon the health of Indigenous Australians? The study argues that the Reconciliation Movement has failed to deliver the expected outcome. The establishment of the Reconciliation Movement has failed to deliver the expected social, economic and health gains for Indigenous Australians, and in fact these are strong evidence to suggest that the reconciliation movement itself has become a divisive tool. The many divergent perspectives on the goals and outcomes of the reconciliation movement are believed to be the primary source of such division. The consequences of such divisiveness have left its impact on the Indigenous Australian and non-Indigenous Australian health professionals working with and among the Indigenous Australian population. The methodology undertaken to investigate the different perspectives on reconciliation was an extensive literature search and the use of content analysis, which utilised sources such as journal articles, general texts, Ovid search, television documentaries and government publications. The main findings of this paper were the acknowledgement that the transfer of land to Indigenous Australians is fundamental to the reconciliation process. The current Australian government's goal of reconciliation on the other hand does not provide social justice and equity for Indigenous Australians, both prerequisites to any lasting reconciliation outcome. |

BVI Spring Regatta 2013
We are taking our family to the BVI for spring break, our dates are 3/20/2013 thru 3/31/2013. Kids are almost 18, 16 and almost 13. All three are experienced sailors. I am concerned about the BVI Spring Regatta and finding a mooring or slip during that time. Do we need to get to a bay or cove early to get a mooring? What time is good? Not crazy about anchoring, but if its super crowded we may need to. Has anyone been there during the Spring Regatta? What do we need to know? What areas should we avoid? We're also there during Full Moon and I want to go to the Trellis Bay party with the kids because it's supposedly more family friendly, the husband thinks the Bomba party on west end will be okay for all of us. Any opinions or suggestions. I don't want to leave the kids on the boat alone too much.

It's already Jan. 12, so I'm a little later than most for a "rewind" reflection.
After taking some holiday time out for family, and finally ridding the house of snowmen and twinkle lights last weekend, I'm ready to launch a new year. It's a good time to reflect on what we did - or didn't - accomplish as we plan to move forward.
Last year, inspired by staff member Juliana Goodwin's personal, annual creation of "100 things to do in a new year," I tried my hand at the same. Surely I couldn't come up with 100, I thought. ...

Do not eat here. I'd put not stars but that's not an option. They have GF crust but cook on same trays in the same oven, etc. Not for anyone with Celiac's.
Was told they use the same oven for all the pizzas when I said gluten free. I said "I can't have it then. Nevermind." Then they offered to clean the oven so I stuck around. Worker didn't change her gloves. I told her she had to change them to not contaminate my pizza. So she changed them and then she smothered the gluten free crust in oil and sauce with the same brushes that were used on the other pizzas. I shook my head and said "that's going to make me incredibly sick. I can't eat that." They all were confused and seemed mad that they wasted a crust. Huge waste of time and a huge disappointment. Shouldn't even bother offering gluten free if a celiac can't have it. It's PIZZA for crying out loud. Pizza is never healthy, gluten crust or gluten free crust. But don't even bother offering gluten free if you're going to kill any celiacs going there. Thanks for nothing. My friends didn't even like their regular pizzas.
TERRIBLE!! They advertise a GF menu but they don't have any cross contamination procedures! We walked 2 miles to find it, all to find out they put the crust on the SAME surface as the other pizzas. They may as well call it a low gluten menu - not gluten free. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
I was uncertain about eating here due to the fact that it's not a gf environment, however I was assured they would prepare everything separately. They pulled out a pizza crust that were already placed in separate pans to avoid CC, they said the brush for the oil was only used on gf pizzas and pointed out certain toppings that were gf. I'm glad I ended up eating here, pizza was the best gf pizza I've had and the employees were very accommodating.
Nice quick service. When I started ordering, the woman asked me if I had a severe allergy. I told her that it was a moderate allergy and that I'll feel like I'm dying if I eat contaminated food but will live. She confirmed that this is not a gluten-free establishment and changed her gloves. After she grabbed the gluten-free crust, she proceeded to spread the shared oil across my gf pizza- gluten contamination and all. Sad face!!! There is probably contamination in the toppings as well since she used her gloves to flatten and spread the gluten crust then put toppings on all the pizzas. Hopefully I don't get sick... Just beware! The pizza did taste REALLY good! Even my non-GF husband liked it!!!... Sure enough... I was glutened. With a few modifications, thus place could be very celiac friendly. Until then, I would say steer clear or ask for your pizza to not have any oil.
the olive oil they brush on the pizza is the same as for a Reg pizza, allow you to cook the gf pizza in a tin to lower contamination, asked if my pizza needed to be cut with separate devices, and changed gloves for me.
Not the easiest place to find, but worth the effort. They are not a gluten free establishment. When I stated I needed to order with a gluten allergy the food preparer changed here disposable gloves, wiped down the food prep counter and they even cleaned out the oven! Be patient, the gluten free crust comes in its own disposable cooking tray and takes longer to cook (11 minutes) I called to confirm before I came here only one of their toppings is NOT gluten free. I had the BBQ chicken pizza. It was wonderful! If you are in Vegas and want pizza, this is the place.
Seem very attentive to needs of gluten free and try to accomodate to eliminate cross contamination as much as possible.
