Heyy guys! Check it out. We have Vimeo now, so we'll be posting videos soon.
Follow us.
Thanks to all who attended this event. Be sure to check out our vimeo page coming soon for updated CBI Videos and more.
For now check out these pictures from the event!
Classes start in a few weeks. So how many of us are planning to be broke within that first few weeks because of all those books? Or how many just added a few more thousand dollars to their debt wallet? I DID!
Besides the typical college student worries, there are a few cool things happening just as students flock back to campus.
Wake UP! Presented by Sin at the Wake Compound in Valdosta is hosting a concert with tons of bands on August 16th. It should be pretty fun! Not only will people be wake boarding, but there will be tons of live music and awesome people.
90.9 has been gaining a few new friends around town. We have a graphic artist friend who made some awesome flyers for us! Those will be posted soon. Some bands from around the region have also been asking to be put on rotation. WE'RE GETTING OURSELVES OUT THERE, FOLKS!
And then here's another thing that is coming up soon:
Did you know that we have special callers?
Did you know that we have special listeners?
Did you know that we will have a contest called "Find Blaze."
Through these three facts, YOU could win prize packs (don't get too worked up, they're just little gift baggies with cute little stuff that will most likely end up in the junk bin).
If you call in at a certain time while a DJ is on air, YOU might just win a little prize pack!
AND if you show up at the events we babble about, YOU could be a special listener because you actually listened to us and showed up! And this is our way of showing our appreciation for you!
The Local Eclectic and DJ Erin will be participating in such an idea. So listen up when they go on air. Details to come soon!
Uh hello? We got bumper stickers! So contact us and ask for one so you can slap one right on your car's booty!I only had ordered ten as a first batch for testing their popularity. I had assumed that buying ten would be enough to cover the station's inner circle and then buy more upon request. But oh no, people wanted more. [Smiley Face]. Now I am thinking about buying more bumper stickers. So if you want one, let Claire our promotions director know!
A part from bumper stickers, our promotions director is planning to put together prize packs for radio listeners. Listeners can win these prize packs through winning contests, showing lots of support for the station, and showing up to our on location events.
Gifts that will be included in these prize packs will include:
Bumpa stickas! Sick pens, possible local band CDs, non itchy cotton shirts, earbuds (for the very lucky winners), bracelets, nerf gun darts (courtesy of claire), and much more!
So listen in more, we may got all the cool shiz for you!
Since most of our DJ personalities are gone for the summer, our radio blog focusing on college radio life won't be the hippest out there online. However, we will be blogging about once a week during the summer about our adventures of trying to making 90.9 the best college radio station in Georgia!
Then during the fall and spring school semesters, that's when DJ's will be all up in here expressing themselves on this blog!
So please stay with us as we evolve into a better station!
Thanks to all the staff that volunteered on this special day to welcome prospective students to VSU and inform them on the life of college radio.
Thanks to all you students who showed interest, we hope to see you in the future.
DJ Erin Ellis is Blaze FM's Visitation Day coordinator informing students of college radio duties and events.

Sole treadmills now offers a full line of fitness equipment – treadmills, ellipticals and exercise bikes, with updated 2013 models released in late 2012.
They started with treadmills, specifically selling treadmills to prominent hotel chains.
These days Sole is one of the most popular treadmill merchant on the web and for good reason. Many sole treadmill users report that Sole treadmills are solid, sturdy, smooth, durable and overall rate them a good buy.
UPDATE: In late 2012 Sole released updated treadmills and ellipticals (2013 models) – click here to learn more about these new models.
Sole's most popular treadmill
Sole's most popular treadmill is the Sole F80. It's their mid-priced treadmill outfitted with several premium features. Arguably, better feature sets than what the F80 offers provides diminishing returns. By this I mean that the added feature sets (which you can learn in this Sole treadmill comparison chart) don't add a great deal to overall performance. Therefore, the F80 is the number 1 chosen treadmill by Sole customers.
All of Sole's Treadmills
|Sole F63
|Sole F65
|Sole F80
|Sole F83
|Sole F85
|Sole S73
|Sole S77
|Sole TT8
Reported DISadvantages of Sole Treadmills
In this Sole treadmills review I'll jump to the cons because that's probably more important to you than the pros or benefits.
1. Lousy speakers
One of the most mentioned complaints is how lousy the on-board speakers are. Most users resort to headphones or their own stereo.
2. Ineffective Fans
All Sole treadmills are outfitted with two fans. However, many people report that the fans don't work very well and aren't even worth using.
3. Lacks graphical display
Some treadmill manufacturers put a great deal of focus in the on-board computer screen, software and graphics. Sole doesn't and it shows. The screens are fairly small and the graphics are old school. Moreover, not one Sole treadmill has a TV or internet access.
If you want a treadmill that features incredible graphics and other on-board media, Sole is not for you.
UPDATE: Sole improved its graphical display significantly with the 2013 treadmill models. The upgrades include larger screens and LCD display.
4. Slow speed change
This is the biggest complaint that goes toward Sole treadmill performance. Many people don't like how long it takes for Sole treadmills to arrive to newly selected speeds. For example, it takes longer than many people wish for the speed to adjust from 2 miles per hour to 5 miles per hour and vice versa.
For many people this doesn't really impact workouts except if you're doing interval training. Interval training involves frequent speed changes at specified times. The lag in speed adjustment impacts interval training due to delays.
5. They're heavy
Sole treadmills are heavy … really heavy. They're built with welded steel that includes an bullet proof coating. Getting your newly arrived Sole treadmill in your home to the room of your choice is not easy. It usually takes at least 2 people.
However, heavy can be a good thing if it partly explains sturdiness and stability. Yes, it's difficult maneuvering it around your home, but it's a solid machine once in place.
6. Plug it into a surge protector
Treadmills in general are an electricity hog. Sole treadmills are no exception. It's a good idea to use a surge protector to avoid other electricity-dependant appliances and electronics from being affected.
7. Plastic casing covering the motor encroaches the running space
On all Sole treadmills, the plastic casing covering the motor at the bottom in the front extends a little too far for some people because it encroaches on the running space. Most people adapt; however, it's arguably a slight design flaw. The upside is it's a safety feature to protect the motor from people and people from the motor.
Sole Treadmill Advantages
Despite the several complaints set out above, many people have great things to say about their Sole treadmill. The following aspects are most commonly praised:
1. Sturdy
Nobody likes working out on weak, squeaky, shaky fitness machines. You know the type I'm talking about … they feel like they're going to break down or fall apart at any time. There's so many home fitness equipment machines that don't feel sturdy.
Sole treadmills are known for being strong and sturdy even during intense workouts. Many people report they perform as well as the treadmills at a gym (and gyms usually spend quite a bit more per treadmill).
2. Smooth
Because Sole uses large rollers (2.5 to 3 inches, depending on the model you buy), the tread belt glides smoothly and firmly across the treadmill deck. Of course, the sturdy frame and strong deck contribute to it being a smooth operation.
3. Quiet
The motor is encased in thick plastic. The belt is 2-ply. The deck is what Sole calls a "Whisper deck". All of these elements contribute to Sole treadmills being surprisingly quiet. The quality belt and firm deck reduce noise from each foot strike (usually the foot strike causes the most noise … not the motor).
4. Durable
Sole offers a lifetime warranty on the motor, frame and decks on all models. The lifetime deck warranty is highly unusual in the treadmill industry. This means you don't have to pay for a new deck … which is a common ongoing expense with other treadmills.
The downside with buying a treadmill from Sole or any other merchant is returning a lemon is a huge hassle. It's a risk you take when buying fitness equipment. Sole doesn't make returning a lemon any easier than other treadmill merchants.
Frankly, I believe a treadmill merchant with a stellar reputation as Sole could dramatically improve their already excellent reputation by implementing easy methods for returning a treadmill such as picking it up for customers. I realize this is costly, but it would be a huge benefit for customers already dealing with a treadmill that's not right for them.
5. Quality Performance Throughout their Fleet
Some treadmill merchants sell treadmills with very poor specifications. Sole doesn't. The number of treadmills they sell isn't many (8 at the time this Sole treadmill review was published). Check out excellent deals here.
Distinguishing Sole Treadmill Features
Large Rollers
Many other treadmills, even those selling at higher prices, have smaller rollers than Sole treadmills. The rollers are an important component in they contribute to stability and smoothness of the tread belt motion.
Cushioned Decks
Sole developed what they call "Cushion Flex Decks" which have a lifetime warranty. These decks are designed to withstand a great deal of use, absorb sound and reduce impact.
Heavy Maximum User Weight
The maximum user weights range from 325 lbs. to 400 lbs. depending on the model you buy. Many treadmills in the same price range have a maximum user weight of 300 lbs.
Choice of Folding and Non-Folding
Sole offers 3 non-folding treadmills if that's your preference. Folding are more popular, but not desired by everyone.
Price Range
The price range of sole treadmills (sale prices) is $854 to $2,299. The most popular Sole F80 on sale costs $1,499.

If you want to sell your product or service on the Internet you have to capture a visitor's attention. If a potential customer comes to your website and does not like what they see is very easy for them to click the back button and visit one of your competitors. There's a lot that goes into a successful business like having a great product, compelling sales copy, steady traffic to the site etc. but if you have those things in place you need to have a professional looking website to keep your visitors attention in this article is going to give you seven steps to a better looking website.
1. Keep it simple: Your website does not have to be full of special effects, animated graphics, and other bells and whistles to try to impress your visitors. You want your website to look good but you also want your visitors to read your sales message and not be distracted by overdoing it on things that can distract visitors from the message you're trying to get across.
2. Choose a color scheme: You want to avoid using clashing colors that are unpleasing to the eye. You also want to make sure that your text is easy to read so you want to avoid putting white text on a white background or dark text on a dark background. If your text is difficult to read and hard on the eye your visitors will not stay on your page very long.
3. Keep the text on your site to approximately 600 pixels or less in width: many screens are still 800x600 pixels and you don't want a website visitor to have to scroll sideways to read your text. Scrolling back and forth is annoying and if you annoy your visitors they will move on to someone else's website. Keeping the text with less than 600 pixels also makes it easy for a reader to find the next line after reading the previous one.
4. Use professional looking graphics: The graphics you have on your site will send a message to your visitors. If you have professional looking graphics that people viewing your site will be more inclined to believe that you're also selling a professional quality product or service. By the same token if you have poorly designed, amateurish looking graphics on your site people will have serious doubts about the quality of the product or offering.
5. Use fast loading images: In addition to having professional looking images you want to have fast loading images. Compress your image files enough so that the image still looks good but does not take very long to load. People on the Internet are inpatient and will not wait long for an image to load.
6. Keep your opt in box above the fold: If you are building an e-mail list, and you should be, you'll want to have the opt in box in a prominent location where your visitors will be sure to see it. "Above the fold" refers to stories in the newspaper that are visible when the newspaper is at the newsstand. These are the stories that people see without even having to touch the paper. By the same token your opt in box being "above the fold" simply means that it is clearly visible as soon as your page loads without the need for your visitor to scroll down.
7. Use a spellchecker: This tip should be an obvious one but always make sure you check the spelling of your copy before uploading your website. Obvious spelling mistakes will take away from your credibility and give people less confidence in the quality of the product or service that you're offering.
Trying to create a professional looking website that grabs a visitor's attention can seem overwhelming but following these tips will help make the task a lot easier. The design does not have to be complicated. A simple site can do a great job of getting your message across and selling your products. Use a pleasing color scheme, professional looking graphics that load quickly, keep the text easy to read, and put that opt in box where people can see it and you'll have a good looking site that gets results.

New fiscal year: UTSA departments must appoint inventory contact person
(Aug. 8, 2014) -- It is time once again to appoint an inventory contact person (ICP) in each UTSA department in preparation for the Fiscal Year 2015 Annual Physical Inventory, which begins in November. Additionally, each department must complete and submit new removal of equipment (ROE) forms.
- For inventory, all departments must appoint an ICP, who will scan the UTSA barcodes on departmental equipment. The ICP must attend an initial or refresher training class. For more information, contact Olinda Ongay at 210-458-6395 or JJ Chavez at 210-458-6131. For details about the Annual Inventory process, visit the UTSA Financial Affairs website.
- ROE forms are required for each piece of university-owned equipment that is used off campus by a faculty or staff member. A copy of the form must remain with the equipment; the original form is sent to the Inventory Department. Forms are valid for one year from the initial removal date, and many departments renew these forms at the beginning of the fiscal year. For more information, contact Mayra Espinoza at 210-458-6396.

So Hubby has been on my back. Not just about cleaning up after myself in the kitchen but about vlogging more. You see the whole thing was his idea.
So I was testing recipes for the Shavuos issue of the Magazine – yes SHAVUOS!!! – and he grabbed the flip cam and started shooting me. I was a little camera shy without my hair and makeup but the steak had non of the same reservations.
And today I shot a video for the lightest, fluffiest, most perfect Passover and year round matzo balls… and I still didn't have on my hair but at least I had on my makeup. Here's a little behind-the-scenes set tour.
Check back next week for the actual how-to-matzah-ball-video and recipe.
Do you like my vlogs? What do you want to see?

Odd Duck Restaurant 1201 S Lamar Boulevard In a city that is home to the...
If you have always toyed with the idea of taking a sabbatical from the rat race to travel the world – and by that we really mean to circle the globe – there's no better way than to purchase a Round the World ticket. Thanks to airline alliances such as Star Alliance and OneWorld travelling around the world has become much more convenient and affordable as airline connections expand to cities further off the beaten track. Here's a guide to around the world flights and the best options for the global traveller.
Star Alliance Round the World Fare
With 28 member airlines serving 1,172 destinations in 181 countries, Star Alliance is by far the leader for sheer number of cities and easy connections. Fares are classed under four possible maximum mileage levels: 26,000 miles, 29,000 miles, 34,000 miles or 39,000 miles. The fare is available for Economy, Business and First Class and allows you up to 16 flights for the duration of the ticket. Each ticket is valid for up to 12 months after the departure of your first flight. If you can't decide on the exact routing of your entire trip, you may book subsequent segments after your first flight at any time. Backtracking, surface travel, and transits all count against the mileage total.
Good: Incredible geographic coverage.
Bad: The fare is limited to the mileage purchased.
Major airlines: Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, United Airlines, ANA, Air New Zealand and many others.
Planning tool: http://www.staralliance.com/en/booking/book-and-fly/
For more information, visit http://www.staralliance.com/
OneWorld Explorer and Global Explorer
The 11-member OneWorld alliance has two Around the World offerings. The first is OneWorld Explorer which is limited to 11 airlines that serve 700 destinations in almost 150 countries. The journey must include at least 3 continents, but there is no maximum mileage limit and you can travel up to 16 flight segments in any class of service.
OneWorld also offers the Global Explorer, which expands flight networks to several non-alliance airlines. The fare is similar to Star Alliance in that you choose from 4 mileage tiers: 26,000 miles, 29,000 miles, 34,000 miles and 39,000 miles. You can travel on Economy, Business and First only on the 34,000 mile fare and the others are limited to Economy Class.
Good: More flexible than Star Alliance in terms of travel distance.
Bad: Fewer destinations than Star Alliance. Weak in certain regions such as Africa and the South Pacific.
Major airlines: American Airlines, JAL, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Qantas

South Africa said Tuesday that it would use a state-of-the-art surveillance aircraft to monitor its rhino population in an attempt to curb rampant poaching.
The Seabird Seeker plane will patrol over Kruger National Park, which is located on the border with Mozambique and is home to two-thirds of South Africa's rhinos.
The aircraft would use surveillance equipment, including infrared detection technology, "making it very difficult for poachers to hide," said Ivor Ichikowitz, who heads the Ichikowitz Family Foundation as well as the Paramount Group defense and aerospace company, in a statement. He donated the plane to the South African government.
By the end of this year, it is estimated that South Africa will have lost some 650 rhinos to poaching, to satisfy the demand in Asia. In 2012 to date, 598 rhinos have been killed, 364 of them in the Kruger National Park alone, according to the South African National Parks.
"While the combination of criminally slaughtered rhinos and natural mortalities has not reached a point of negative growth, we are seeing definite signs of a decrease in growth numbers," said David Mabunda, the head of the parks system.
Rhino horns are a pricey item used frequently in traditional Asian medicine, but there have been numerous studies showing they provide no medicinal value.

The Vampire Diaries
Who Is Elena's Dad? Vampire Diaries Fan Question of the Day
Oh, boy. It sounds like such a simple question, right? Who is Elena's (Nina Dobrev) father on The Vampire Diaries? Well, it's actually pretty complicated. How much time do you have?
OK, here's the buzz on Elena's daddy drama. John Gilbert (David Anders) got a 16-year-old girl named Isobel (Mia Kirshner) pregnant. Not in an illegal way; we're pretty sure he was a minor at the time, too. Well, the kids decided being 16 and pregnant was not the way to go, so Isobel handed the baby over to John's brother, Grayson Gilbert, and his wife, Miranda.
Grayson and Miranda. Are those names ringing a bell? They're Elena's adoptive parents. So Elena's Uncle John is actually her birth father. To make matters more complex, Isobel ended up marrying Alaric Saltzman (Matt Davis) — who would later become Elena's history teacher and guardian.
So, because Grayson, Miranda, Isobel, John, and Alaric are all dead, poor Elena is an orphan several times over.
Sorry to leave this on such a bummer note. Look! Here's a GIF of Damon (Ian Somerhalder) dancing to cheer you up.

Rice Owls Band Makes '$EC' Formation
[Editor's Note: This article has been updated after receiving more information about the performance.]
The Rice Owls band known as the "MOB" (Marching Owls Band) is known for its crazy antics like in 2007, when it mocked the legal troubles of Texas players by doing a "Dragnet" theme in Austin.
And they really outdid themselves Saturday night when Rice played against the Longhorns again. While performing on the field, the band formed the word "$EC" with a dollar sign for the "S" in reference to the fact Texas A&M is attempting to leave the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference.
While most people have been critical of Texas for driving members out of the conference with things such as the Longhorn Network, the folks in Austin certainly appreciated a shot at the arch-rival Aggies for pursuing more money in another league.

Center Jason Krog led the way for Chicago (25-17-0-2) with a goal and two assists on the night, while left wing Brett Sterling, right wing Tim Stapleton and defenseman Paul Postma also tallied for the Wolves.
Peoria (22-17-1-3) opened scoring at 15:52 of the first period when defenseman Bryce Lampman took a slap shot from the boards at center ice. The shot took a wild bounce in front of Wolves netminder Kari Lehtonen and ricocheted into the net under Lehtonen's blocker.
Lehtonen (0-1-0) posted 32 saves in his first appearance on his conditioning stint from the Atlanta Thrashers.
Center Yan Stastny gave the Rivermen a 2-0 lead on a breakaway tally at 8:35 of the second period. Defenseman Tyson Strachan sent a pass up the ice to Stastny, who was waiting on the blueline and broke through the Wolves defenders before roofing a wrister up and under the crossbar.
Krog brought the Wolves to within one on an unassisted tally at 14:38 of the second. Intercepting a pass from a Rivermen defenseman, Krog picked up the puck, brought it to his backhand and squeezed a shot past Peoria goaltender Ben Bishop.
Bishop (14-8-2) stopped 28 of 32 shots he faced in the winning effort.
At 6:33 of the third period, right wing Adam Cracknell regained the two-goal lead for Peoria. Left wing Chris Porter took a high shot through traffic from the slot and Cracknell managed to get his stick on it to tip the puck in under the crossbar for the tally.
Sterling brought Chicago within one goal, once again, with a power-play marker at 8:20. Sterling received the puck from Krog and crashed the net, sliding the puck across the crease to his forehand and slipping it under Bishop.
Peoria responded quickly with a power-play tally of their own. Center Nicholas Drazenovic took a shot from the slot that ricocheted off the post and behind Lehtonen at 9:08 for the 4-2 lead.
Stapleton pulled the Wolves within one for the third time at 13:53 of the third. Right wing Anthony Stewart was moving the puck along the boards behind the net and then passed the puck off to a streaking Stapleton who one-timed a shot past Bishop, near-post.
Just 1:33 later, Peoria took a 5-3 lead when center Derek Armstrong dished the puck to Julian Talbot who wristed a shot just over Lehtonen's shoulder, off the post and into the net.
With the Wolves net empty at 17:32, Postma ripped a shot from the point that flew past Bishop to bring the Wolves within one for the fourth time of the night and close out the scoring, 5-4.
The Wolves head back to the Allstate Arena to conclude their weekend against the Grand Rapids Griffins, tomorrow at 3 p.m.

A former Washington Park police officer on Monday pleaded guilty to bringing drugs into the St. Clair County Jail for an inmate.
Douglass Young, 61, of 514 Monica Drive, Lebanon, had no prior criminal record and was sentenced to probation, fines and drug treatment for the official misconduct conviction. He was also ordered to turn in his gun and badge to the Washington Park Police Department.
Young was charged June 28, 2013, with official misconduct after taking narcotics and prescription pills into the jail for an unnamed female prisoner.
St. Clair County Sheriff Richard "Rick" Watson said that his assistant jail superintendent, Thomas L. Trice, "had learned that Young used his position as a law enforcement officer to arrange visits at the jail to see an inmate, who was being held at that time at the jail on theft charges."
"During these unsupervised visits, Young would give the inmate the prescription pills and other illegal narcotics according to witnesses," Watson said.
Young's visit on June 4 triggered the investigation into his conduct.
Watson said the St. Clair County Sheriff's Drug Tactical Unit, with assistance from the patrol and canine units, arrested Young. Watson forwarded the warrant information to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, which certifies and decertifies police officers. Watson is chairman of that board.
Watson said "no matter what their position is, they should not bring anything into the jail, including drugs. That's why the officers eat in the jail. We do not allow them to bring food into the jail."
St. Clair County State's Attorney Brendan Kelly's office has prosecuted numeral cases involving law enforcement officials and city leaders.
Mohammed Musleh was convicted of bribing an East Side Health District inspector, in January and was sentenced to fines and probation.
Former Alorton Fire Chief Carlos Darough, who had an extensive criminal history, was convicted of official misconduct for delivering marijuana with a village vehicle and in March was sentenced to three years in state prison.
Former Fairview Heights employee Patricia Ostendorf pleaded guilty to official misconduct in March for theft of government property and was sentenced to probation and ordered to pay restitution.
Kelly said there was a major increase in public integrity cases prosecuted during the past three years. He renewed his call for state lawmakers to fund the return of the Ilinois State Police Public Integrity Unit.
"Leadership on both sides of the aisle agree more manpower is necessary. Hopefully in the fall we will see some movement on funding for additional troopers when progress is made on the overall budget," Kelly said.
In the meantime, prosecutors have relied on federal agents and the sheriff's department to investigate.

Former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber thinks Warren Sapp needs to keeps his opinions of Michael Strahan to himself. Sapp and Strahan have had verbal battles for years now. Last week the former Buccaneers and Raiders defensive tackle said his former teammate in
1 Comment:
Even though I'm a huge Giants fan...I'm not a Tiki Barber fan. It's hard to warm up to him considering the things he has done since leaving football. The most aggregious of which was leaving his wife who was pregnant with their child for another woman. And knocking Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin as soon as he got his media gig. But I must agree with him on Warren Sapp.
I always knew sapp was a big fat blowhard, now I'm convinced of it. This guy is a moron to say that Simeon Rice was better than Michael Strahan. The fact is Strahan was better than both of them and the clear proof is in the unquestionable statistics. In fact it's a joke of monumental proportion that this fat headed tub of goo was inducted into the Hall of Fame ahead of Strahan. Now I'm not saying sapp was not a good defensive player mind you, but it's a freaking joke that he thinks he and Rice were better than Strahan. Let's compare the statistics shall we:
7 Time Pro Bowler
Career Sacks 96.5
4 INT's for 8 yards (he was always too fat to return the ball)
Most sacks/season 16.5
Tackles 438 Assists 135
Games 198 in 13 seasons
3 Time Pro Bowler
Career Sacks 122 (so maybe what fat boy was saying is Rice was better than HIM)
Most Sacks/Season 16.5
5 INT's for 48 yards
392 tackles 83 assists
174 games 12 seasons
Now for the Man who blows them both away.
7 Time Pro Bowler
Career Sacks 141.5 (Fat boy didn't even reach 100)
Most Sacks/Season 22.5 (Still an NFL Record)
4 INT's for 124 Yards (Fat boy had 8 measly return yards, what a joke)
667 Career Tackles 187 Assists (Way more than both these guys)
216 Games 15 Seasons
Strahan also has 2 Super Bowl rings as the clear leader of a dominant defense in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI. So Sapp needs to shut his big fat ignorant pie hole because he can't hold Michael Strahans jock strap. And the sports writers who voted this jerk in ahead of Michael need to have their freaking heads examined.

David Leventi documents the world's most astounding prison architecture
It's tempting to think of prisons like the ones you remember from old movies, such as the merry lunch halls of The Blues Brothers, the solitary confinement cells of The Shawshank Redemption and the rather jovial, free-range atmosphere of The Great Escape. Fact of the matter is though, times have changed and prisons have totally evolved.
After Jeremy Bentham's successful design of the panopticon (a large tower in the centre of a prison that enables guards to watch every prison door at once) prisons have become almost cathedral-like in their appearance. This is, perhaps, the reason behind David's fascination with them, as if you look at his older work you will notice that large, high-ceilinged spaces are kind of his speciality. Definitely don't miss his collection of opera houses, palaces, and theatres as well.

Lance Bass talks *NSYNC reunion at VMAs - Listen to audio
A member of *NSYNC is speaking out about the rumors that the boy band will be reuniting at the 2013 Video Music Awards on Sunday (August 25). Lance Bass addressed the reports during his SiriusXM show, "Dirty Pop." He didn't actually confirm it one way or the other, though.
"Let me tell you how this all came about," he says. " Justin Timberlake is getting the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award, so people are going to automatically think that we're going to be there performing." Bass says he thinks the rumors started after he posted a photo of himself, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone at Timberlake's concert in Florida.
He adds how nice the social media reaction is to the idea, considering Twitter and Facebook weren't around when the band called it quits in 2002. The segment ends with Bass admitting that should a reunion happen, it would be an "amazing time."
With how big the rumors are getting, no appearance by *NSYNC may be a disappointment to those who tune in. The VMAs are live, Sunday at 9 p.m. ET, on MTV.

Article WINTER 2004
Interview with John R. Douglas
by Celu Amberstone
John R. Douglas (right) with author Stephen
Donaldson (left) and Tor Books editor David Hartwell (centre) at
the World Fantasy Awards 2000 in Corpus Christi, Texas. - Photo
from MidAmerican Fan Photo Archive
To begin, can you give me some background information about
I was born and raised in Toronto. I've always
been a very omnivorous reader. I started reading science fiction at
about age fourteen. In 1969 when I was in college I went to my
first convention, Luna-Con in New York City. Going to conventions
became a way of life after that. After ten years paying my own way
to the cons, I fell into a career in publishing. I worked for four
different publishers from early 1978 to 1999. I went freelance after
that when I was merged out of a job. At the moment I'm making a
living at something I really love. For just over a year now I've
worked as the news editor for Chronicle, a magazine founded
about thirty years ago by a friend of mine. I do news articles, and
editorials that allow me to give my opinions on things.
The next logical question after that is: Tell me
about the changes you've seen in the industry over the past ten to
fifteen years.
My perspective comes from the mass-market side of
the industry. I've done hardcover and trade paperbacks at times, but it
was always through the mass-market division of a company. That kind of
publishing has gone from a very backlist orientated business to one in
which it's hard to keep books in print. The process of doing business
has gotten more bureaucratic, and more cut throat competitive over the
past few years. The trade off was that I was working with very creative
people, and that was very satisfying.
What advice would you have for Canadian authors
wanting to get published in the U.S?
The same advice I would give any author. Make sure
you've done your research, and approach an editor in a professional
manner. Don't get coy or oversell yourself in your cover letter. The guy
that trained me in the business told me that I should be rejecting about
ninety percent of what I read in ten percent of my working time. That
way I could devote the rest of my time to the stuff that was really
worth consideration—the manuscripts my company would end up publishing.
How would you look at a manuscript to determine
if it was worth your consideration?
By the end of the first page I know whether I want
to turn to the next one. I can tell by then if the author can render
readable prose that has some narrative continuity. I can also tell if
the prose is intriguing, what tone the story has, if I like the
characters' names, and so forth. I look for an enjoyable reading
experience, a sense of storytelling, interesting characters—that I want
to find out more about. I also want a story that has concepts that I can
explain easily in commercial terms, to the people in the sales
department who don't read science fiction. In the first few pages I will
also know whether the manuscript is similar to something I already have,
and in that case there is nothing I can do for that person. I can only
wish the author good luck in taking it elsewhere.
Do you read the synopsis first?
No. In fact it bothers me when I open the package
and see the synopsis on top. I like to read the manuscript first. I
don't need to know the full story unless they can write. The absolute
rock bottom is that the author of a new manuscript has to be able to
tell a story. The first sentence should be magical.
Some people seem to be able to publish in Canada
or Britain, but can't get published in the U.S. Why do you think that
might be?
I think it works both ways. There are people in the
US that can't get published in Canada or Britain. It's more a question
of combining what a publisher knows will work with a new twist to the
story. Certainly for some authors setting a book in Toronto isn't a
problem. What is chosen isn't necessarily a bias on the editor's part,
but there is a selection process that is already in place. For example
more men read and therefore more men write sf. So, as an editor, you
pick from what you see. There are trends, however. I've noticed in
mainstream literature for example that there is a trend towards
publishing East Indian and Asian writers at the moment. Twenty years ago
you wouldn't have seen that.
I want to thank you for doing this.
My pleasure.

Good Morning! Happy Monday, all. I hope you had a lovely week last week. I took it off and ended up getting some extra things done around the house that needed to be done. I had hurt my back the week before and needed some catching up time, so it seemed a good time to take a little break from the computer. (Pinterest excluded, of course, because who can take a break from Pinterest? Not me.)
Fall was almost in full swing here, a little rain, a lot of cool (even turned the heater on for about an hour – woot, woot!), and maybe some Christmas carols were played (like, maybe definitely – I couldn't help it!)… but now it has decided to creep back into the 80's. What?! Good thing a trip to Chicago is coming up so I can actually wear my jacket before fall is over. By the way, we all know the rule about capitalization with seasons, right? The teacher in me can't help but notice how many people in my Facebook feed keep capitalizing fall in instances where it's not warranted. Only at the beginning of the sentence (naturally) or when it is part of a name (i.e. Fall Festival, Fall Fever, etc.) does a season get capitalized. Don't believe me? Refer to one of my favorite sites (yes, I know I'm a dork). Am sure you all know this already (you read this blog, I know you're SMART), but I have to make sure my Unputdownables readers are in the know. ;)
Here are some articles for you so you annoy people with your random knowledge this week! xo
Should novels be historically accurate?
Am almost finished with the third season of Big Love, so naturally I'm drawn to this new biography.
This story by Christiane Amanpour needs to be read, but please note – it is not light, and it is distressing. However, ignoring what's happening allows evil to win. Read it, share it.
Thanking my lucky stars that I didn't find this, while going for a morning stroll.
What do you think about Minnie Mouse's makeover?
And, lastly, here's something we can all be thankful for this week! (AMEN to this! Eek!)

Senior Consultant, Global Services
Control Risks, London, UK
Control Risks advises multinational clients on strategies for mitigating and managing the political, security, and reputational risks of operating or investing in hostile, complex, and challenging business environments.
Fletcher Thesis: Credit Rating Agencies' Approach to Rating Structured Finance Securities: Methodological Revisions and Policy Reform in the Context of the Financial Crisis
Shifting careers: "Fletcher helped me successfully shift my career. Although my professional background was in financial risk management, I had maintained a strong interest in policy issues and international business. While at Fletcher, I gained new skills, perspective, and contacts to identify and redefine professional application more suited to my interests. This process had an unequivocally positive impact on my subsequent job search, and ultimate placement as a consultant at Control Risks, a well known international political and security risk consultancy and business intelligence firm."
Academic support: "My most meaningful academic relationship was with Professor Jonathan Brookfield. I first encountered Prof. Brookfield as a prospective student, in fact, when I sat in on his International Business Strategy and Operations class. A year later, I was an enrolled student in the same class, and subsequently interacted with him frequently, via his seminar on Privatizing and Deregulating Industries, on the political risk conference, as an independent study adviser, and as a thesis co-adviser."

Fairview Could Leave Blue Cross Network Over Price Tussle
Tens of Thousands of Patients Potentially Affected
In a little over a month current Fairview Blue Cross/Blue Shield contract expires.
Executive Summary
Fairview seeks rate increase from Blue Cross. (BC)
BC: "We are confident we can transition care to other clinics and hospitals as smoothly and seamlessly as possible,"
Fairview owns University of Minnesota Medical Center.
--> The U of M Medical Center may lose some patients if this can't be worked out.
The battle over health care revenue continues between insurance companies and health care providers. Providers continue to be squeezed and try to increase revenue but insurance companies can divert patients elsewhere if providers demand higher rates.
Surplus capacity, e.g. children's hospital facilities, put suppliers in a bad bargaining position.
The Strib reports on a classic example of this chess match. It has implications for the cash cow that University administrators would like Fairview University Medical Center to be.
In a little over a month, Fairview Health Services no longer will be part of the medical provider network for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota unless they can resolve a standoff over prices.
The current contract expires Aug. 23. If a new one isn't signed, Blue Cross members then would have to pay out-of-network charges at Fairview clinics. The cut-off date for Fairview hospitals is later, Oct. 28.
After those dates, Blue Cross members who want to go to a Fairview clinic or hospital would have to pay significantly more or find another medical provider.
It's rare for contract negotiations to come down to the wire, and the stakes are particularly high because of the players involved. Blue Cross is Minnesota's biggest health insurer, with 2.9 million members. Fairview is the third-biggest hospital and clinic group and owns the University of Minnesota Medical Center.
The price tussle has percolated behind the scenes in recent months and is bursting into public view as both groups prepare letters to members and patients warning of the change. They've also put information on their websites.
Blue Shield said Fairview demanded prices out of whack with the rest of the market.
"We were just too far apart," said Jim Eppel, Blue Cross network management vice president. "The reimbursement Fairview wanted was significantly above the reimbursement we provide to any other provider."
"What we are asking of Blue Cross is completely consistent with what we are asking from other health plans," said Dr. Loie Lenarz, chief medical officer of Fairview. Lenarz declined to quantify the rate increases requested by Fairview.
Blue Cross estimates that 30,000 to 50,000 Blue Cross members went to a Fairview Clinic in the last 12 months; those people will be receiving letters in the next few days.
"We are confident we can transition care to other clinics and hospitals as smoothly and seamlessly as possible," Eppel said.
Mark Bilderback, lead health care benefits consultant for Watson Wyatt in the Twin Cities, said he has talked with clients about the Blue Cross/Fairview standoff and the response has been "frustration."
"So many people would be affected by this," Bilderback said.
"However, if you look at other big cities, there are plans that don't have big hospital groups in them."

FACT - 2 Year
Full-time Accelerated Coursework Track
The Full-time Accelerated Coursework (FACT) - 2 Year is designed for students who already hold a bachelor's degree in a field other than nursing. This program allows students to complete a BSN in 27 months of full-time study. Students may then complete the MSN in 15 months. All policies regarding academic achievement, progression in the nursing major and program completion for the prelicensure students apply to FACT - 2 Year students.
Students accepted into this program option are admitted to both the undergraduate and graduate programs. During the program's undergraduate phase, students earn 55-credits, and an additional 9 graduate credits at JCN. Students are scheduled for theory course content two days per week; and clinical practicum experience 16 hours per week. This schedule allows time to integrate theoretical concepts and constructs into clinical practice. Clinical hours may include evenings and weekends.
Prerequisite Work: Students complete two years or 65 credits of prerequisite coursework in sciences, humanities, and related disciplines that lay the foundation for professional studies in the Professional & Continuing Studies Department at Thomas Jefferson University or at another college or university.
View the FACT - 2 Year Curriculum Plan.
Jefferson Nursing students learn clinical skills in a risk-free, simulated-patient environment that is one of the nation's leading centers of its kind. Combined with their clinical practice at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, our students graduate with far more hours of clinical experience than is professionally required. Perhaps this is why Jefferson BSN graduates have consistently scored among the highest pass rates on the national licensure examination of all PA professional nursing programs.
At the end of the program, students take the state nursing licensing exam and if successful, select their specialty area in the MSN specialty they wish to pursue.

Byrd Institute receives award
CHARLESTON -- The Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing has received the second annual Governor's Award for Leadership in Advanced Green Manufacturing.
The award was presented Monday as part of a special event focusing on technology and entrepreneurship in West Virginia at the state capitol. IOF-WV Innovation and Entrepreneurship Day is an annual event presented by Industries of the Future-WV to bring attention to high-tech manufacturing, innovation and entrepreneurship, and how they're transforming the West Virginia economy.
RCBI "has been bringing a 'green' touch to regional manufacturing since we were established in 1990," RCBI Director and CEO Charlotte Weber said in accepting the award.
Sophisticated equipment available at RCBI allows manufacturers to make products in less time, with less energy and less waste, she said.
Weber also spoke Monday afternoon as part of a panel discussion sponsored by TechConnectWV in the House of Delegates chamber. She detailed RCBI's role in implementing innovation and technology, including Additive Manufacturing technology utilizing 3D printers that create actual objects from digital files.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Wilmington City Council gave the green light Tuesday night for additional money for storm debris cleanup.
City Council unanimously approved a resolution for an additional $800,000 to pay private haulers to remove debris from last month's ice storm. This will bring the total cleanup cost to $1.4 million.
The additional money is due to a miscalculation in the original amount of debris that would need to be removed. The city says staff did not factor in backyard debris in the original estimate.

TWO men were arraigned yesterday before a Mombasa court for allegedly stealing oil products worth Sh10 million belonging to Total Kenya company.
Paul Ndiritu and Peter Njoroge were jointly charged with stealing the assorted oil products that were in a container destined to Kigali, Rwanda.
The court heard that on October 2, the accused stole 80 drums and 896 cartons of engine lubricants valued at Sh10,597,389. The two denied one count of stealing the goods from the Mitchel Cotts godown in Kibarani on the Makupa Causeway.
They denied a second count of handling stolen items. Prosecutor Simon Waithaka asked the court to remand the two at the port police station, as police investigated the theft.
"Police believe the two have information that might lead to the recovery of the items," said Waithaka in his application. The two were released on a Sh500,000 cash bail each.
The case will be mentioned on November 22. At the same time, a 40 year old man was yesterday sentenced to two years imprisonment at Kingorani prison for stealing a hook chain worth Sh12,000.
Emmanuel Ngowa Saro, a casual laborer was convicted for stealing a ratchet boomer, a type of chain used to secure loads on trailers, belonging to Transpares limited on November 9.
A government probation report of the accused presented before principle magistrate Richard Odenyo indicated he had been convicted severally before the Mombasa courts.
The report also indicated that Ngowa, a former alumnus of Alliance Boys high school, had been out of prison for only a month before he was charged again in court.
The report read thus in part, "The accused schooled at Alliance boys high in 1992 where he got a mean grade of C. He is married to two wives and has six children."
"Though he is repentant the accused a long history of criminal convictions...We recommend a custodial sentence." In his mitigation Ngowa told the court he was sorry for his deeds and asked the court to forgive him since he was the sole provider of the family. The magistrate in his ruling noted that the accused was a repeat offender and directed that he be incarcerated at the Kingorani prison.

Red White & Blueberries Platter
You'll need:
- 1 box of fresh blueberries
- 1 box of fresh strawberries
- 1 box yogurt pretzels (In the produce dept. So much better than the ones in the candy aisle)
- Rectanglar cookie sheet
- Wax Paper
Keep the blueberries in the box they come in and put them in the upper left hand corner of the wax paper covered cookie sheet. Cut the strawberries from their stems and halved. Lay out the fruit in lines to represent red stripes and the pretzels to represent the white stripes. Put toothpicks out so guests can make their own tiny skewers of fruit and pretzels!
Seriously. The yummiest.
Found the cutest maxi dress at Marshall's to wear for the festivities. Good thing I had festive food to make up for the lack of color in my outfit!

Young Martha Payne went to school today as usual – and was taken out of Maths class to go to the Head Teacher's office.
She was then told she was not allowed to take any more photographs of her school dinners for her now internationally renowned NeverSeconds blog.
The reason given was some headline in a newspaper – to which Martha's laser-like but bewildered response is that she writes her blog (and is responsible for that) but she's not responsible for what someone else writes in a newspaper.
However, her blog for 14th June is headed 'Goodbye'.
The machine wins.
Martha's father, Dave, has added a note to his daughter's blog to make it clear that the staff at the school have been very supportive and that the decision was not theirs.
Mr Payne has put it on the record that he contacted the council to discuss the matter when he learned from Marth what had happened – and was told that the decision had been theirs.
Martha had been using her blog to raise money through JustGiving for Argyll's signature charity – Mary's Meals, feeding the world's hungry children through their schools. This strategy means that children in less developed countries have two good reasons to keep going to school t0 to get a nutritious meal for the day and to get an education for the future.
So far this young girl has single-handedly turned the negative of poor schools meals in Lochgilphead to the positive of raising nearly £2,000 for this hugely worthwhile charity to feed children properly in places like Haiti's Cite Soleil slum – the world's worst; and Malawi.
Both Martha and her father tonight are clearly saddest that this find raising effort has also been brought to an end.
This incident has proved just what a challenge the new Argyll and Bute council administration faces in trying to turn around an almost helplessly self-destructive culture at Kilmory.
This entire saga could not have been handled more badly from start to Stalinist finish. Yet many of the officers concerned will not personally be like that. Their job has somehow distorted them.
This is a diseased situation that, in everyone's interests, must be treated. Who has the skills, the will and the authority to do it?
Will the new administration be able to sustain the will to change this for as long as it looks like it may take?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The hope is gone.
Four years into the age of Barack Obama, and a dozen years into a new century, America is struggling to find its way.
Its been attacked. Its rushed into two wars, grown disillusioned and turned homeward. Its endured the worst financial collapse in 80 years.
At the political fringes, Americans have felt cast adrift by the powerful and taken to the streets in anger the tea party from the right, the occupy movement from the left. In the vast middle, tens of millions still look for work, grapple with paychecks that dont buy as much, or sleep in homes worth a fraction of what they once did.
As the two major political parties meet back to back in national conventions to chart their way to victory, this the unsettled landscape behind the speeches and posturing. The nation is engaging in not just an election but a deep debate over how it wants to dig out of these problems and chart a new course. The key question: Does it want the government to lead the way to a new era or should it simply get out of the way?
Like turning points of the past the turmoil of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, the economic and political stagnation of the 1970s the result could produce a new order. Or, like the last decade, the country could refuse to rally to one side, swinging narrowly back and forth between the two major parties, the politics gridlocked and venomous.
The temperament of the country is one of insecurity, said Randall Miller, a historian at St. Joseph University in Philadelphia. Insecurity about who we are, who we want to be, where we are going.
It wasnt supposed to be this way. Obama four years ago campaigned for the presidency with a promise of hope and change that excited the nation.
When he was running for office, we were inspired by what he was saying, said Michael Fox of Hudson, N.C.
Fox still likes the president. But the economy wears on him after watching his auto shop business sink. All the moneys dried up, he said.
The numbers are stark.
Unemployment has been above 8 percent for 42 months, nearly all of Obamas presidency. African-Americans have a jobless rate topping 14 percent.
For those with jobs, incomes have dropped even more since the end of the recession in 2009 than they did during it.
Families net worth has dropped, driven by a plunge in the values of their homes. In the Tampa Bay region near last weeks Republican National Convention, some homes worth $600,000 a few years ago are worth a third of that today. New home sales have picked up but still lag well below normal levels.
Stocks have rebounded since 2008, restoring retirement accounts. But its not enough. By a steady margin of 2-to-1, Americans think the countrys on the wrong track.
Its not just the recession.
For good or ill, people are grappling with a world where the rules are changing.
A global economy and an information age are making some U.S. jobs obsolete. Illegal immigration has stopped, but the tide of legal and illegal migration over the past two decades has changed the country. Labor unions are shrinking, some under assault. The definition of marriage is changing.
"I get so fed up when I go to the store and pick something up and its made in China or Chile or God knows where," said Ted James, a retiree in Nampa, Idaho.
Gradually, the countrys turned inward, away from wars and the threat of terror that dominated politics from 2001 onward.
Troops are coming home. Unmanned drones are taking over the hunt for al Qaida terrorists abroad. Terror mastermind Osama bin Laden is dead. Few even noticed when Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney this summer called Iran the nations top security priority and did not mention the so-called global war on terror that once dominated American politics.
Weve turned the page, said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute of Public Opinion and the McClatchy-Marist Poll. Were war weary and broke.
If not broke, very much in debt.
A decade of wars that were not paid for. The decision to have Medicare cover prescription drugs in the biggest expansion of an entitlement since the 1960s. Costly bailouts of the U.S. auto industry. Spending to stimulate the economy out of recession. And a refusal to raise taxes.
After years of demanding and getting more government than they would pay for, Americans and their government have $16 trillion in debt.
The credit card bill colors the countrys politics and makes it all the more difficult to rally to any of the major party proposals to fix the underlying economy.
Democrats want to spend more to educate and train people for jobs in a changing economy. Republicans want to cut taxes to put more money in peoples pockets and get them to spend.
But theres no money. And the politics is so toxic, its unclear the parties can bridge the divide anytime soon.
Theres a much higher degree of skepticism, if not cynicism, about the political options, said Bert Rockman, a historian and political scientist at Purdue University in Indiana. Anyone who comes in with the expectation that they can bargain with the other side is foolish.
Rick Anderson of Monterey County, Calif., is more optimistic but not about the immediate future.
Laid off from an architectural firm in 2008, hes one of the millions whove adapted. I ended up going on craigslist and offered my services at lower rates. A couple of architects were interested and now I have done that for four years, he said.
Now he thinks things are getting better, but that it will take more time. A lot more.
I think the economy is on the right track and I think we will recover in the long run, but it will take a couple of presidencies to fully recover, he said. Realistically, the world is no longer flat.

Cops rescue 29 sex workers, arrest 9 in QC, Bataan
At least 29 sex workers were rescued in separate operations of the Philippine National Police's Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in Quezon City and Bataan this week.
CIDG chief Director Samuel Pagdilao Jr. said the raids conducted Wednesday night were part of its campaign against human trafficking.
In Quezon City, CIDG Women and Children Protection Division (WCPD) operatives raided the Area Forbs Health and Wellness Center along Quezon Avenue in Quezon City at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Led by Superintendent Emma Libunao and the Department of Justice's Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (DOJ-IACAT), the operatives rescued 10 female sex workers and arrested six persons.
Those arrested included the club supervisor, talent manager and the cashier, the CIDG said.
In Orion, Bataan, meanwhile, provincial CIDG operatives have raided the Michael J Bistro in Barangay Sto. Domingo around 10:30 p.m.
Operatives arrested three floor managers and rescued 19 sex workers in the Bataan raid.
Pagdilao said the suspects will be charged with violation of the RA 9208, or the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003.
He also warned club operators in other suspected prostitution fronts the CIDG and the IACAT will not rest until their establishments were raided and their owners and operators charged, an article in the PNP-CIDG website said. –KG, GMA News

NT700V - On paper, this was a perfect move-up bike for me, a mid-sized ST. So much utility, so little enjoyment. The motor had all the NVH of an agricultural device, suspension was wallowy, and it was top-heavy. I really *wanted* to like this bike, for all its practicality, but I just couldn't. It was also ugly and very, VERY overpriced.
2011 Ninja 650 - I went to a Kawi demo event, and got three rides scheduled, the 650, the ZX-6, and a C14. I was really going to this event to try the 650 and consider moving up from my '09 N250. I rode the ZX-6 first - LOVED the throttle response, hated the bar position (felt like they were under my chest, would have loved them further forward). Then I rode the C14, and was in love. A 688 lb bike shouldn't feel that nimble and stable at the same time, period. Then came the 650. It damn near fried my right leg (and I was wearing jeans, 60 degree day), the mirrors were completely unusable (if not seizure inducing) below 7-8k, and the godawful HONK of the intake sounded like a flock of geese had surrounded me and somehow found their way inside my helmet. It also didn't handle anywhere near as well as my 250. For the first time in my life, I couldn't wait to get off a motorcycle. I've never been so happy to get on my 250 to do a 50-mile interstate ride as I was that day, although I would have preferred the C14 for that task....

Sparta Police Department have arrested a man for pumping gas........in his birthday suit.....and not just once.
46 year old Duane Streeck, from Bangor, was busted for Disorderly Conduct and Lewd, Behavior after he pumped gas into his vehicle without any clothing on. An employee of the BP Sparta Travel Center notified police around 6am last Monday that a man was filling up his vehicle while only wearing flip flops. The employee indicated that this was third time in recent weeks she witnessed the same man filling up his vehicle nude. Another employee was able to get the license plate number of the vehicle and called police. Officers located Streeck and arrested him. Streeck indicated that he did not think the employees could see him at the time.

MetroPCS to Launch Live TV Service Later this Year

As a customer I can tell you I've NEVER been without data of some type. For $240 per year I can get 1GB of data per month with Virgin if I'm that worried about it. It's still $540 less. That said, the service is reliable enough that I don't need to worry about buying the Virgin data. Your misconceptions are the reason the top tier carriers maintain a customer base at all.
I have no misconceptions here.
As I said, Metro, who is the topic of this discussion, has a very small native footprint. As a result, they rely on the infrastructure of the Big 3 to extend service outside those areas to their customers.
The grade of service is dependent upon the roaming agreement and they are not all the same.
If too many customers bleed off of the Big 3, eventually their revenue drops, and at that point they must charge the other carriers more to access their networks because it costs money to maintain them.
It really is a pretty simple concept.
If you are content with Metro, good for you.
I wish you all the luck in the world.
But at least be honest enough to admit that basic economics are in play here.
Metro can't build out enough to cover anything other than the 4 native home base areas and as such, your data and voice service, outside those areas is dependent upon the Big 3 being able to afford access to Metro at a reasonable rate.
If the roaming rates rise, Metro's charges to their customers will rise.
Cut and dried.

Sauerbraten – Classic Roast Beef with Apples and Raisins
September 11th 2014By Tom Franz
Classic German roast, my mom's favorite for special occasions and holidays. I love to prepare it for Rosh Hashanah with apples, raisins and dried fruit like apples, apricots and figs that add a wonderful aroma and flavor to the meat. It's a sweet and sour flavor, and the meat is so tender after being marinated for 3 days. If you don't have enough time, at least try to marinate for a day.
Roast Beef & Fingerling Potatoes w/ Mushroom Gravy
October 28th 2011By June Hersh
If you dream in shades of medium rare, then nothing speaks to you like a good roasted beef. It needs only basic seasonings, and deserves a round of applause when it comes out of the oven. Behind the Counter The silver tip makes the best roast beef. It is lean, beefy and solid (good traits in a mate) and should be roasted to rare/ medium rare. Alternate cuts french or square roast (a little chewier) (=$), Club roast (+$), boneless rib eye roast (+$) both tender but pricey.
