Q5) Can the County provide the number of users that will be on T1 Osig QSIG vs. aSIP integration? A5) SIP capability is a requirement of the application but will not be implemented at the start of the project. The County will migrate to SIP in the future. Q26) Do the proposed Avaya QSIG trunks support putback transfer (hookflash transfer)? A26) QSIG trunks would support switch-hook flash, but the intent is to use SIP. 1401 LAKESIDE DRIVE, SUITE 907, OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA 94612 510 208 9600 FAX 510 208 9626 www.acgov.org/gsa I:\PURCHASING\Contracting Opportunities\Purchasing\Unified Messaging System\Addendum3_UnifiedMessagingSystem.doc rev. 25 March 2010 County of Alameda, General Services Agency – Purchasing RFP No. 900727, Addendum No. 3 Page 2 of 3 February 17, 2011 RFP Clarification The County does not intend on using SIP to desktop level for quite some time however, SIP should be used for the voicemail integration method to all sites. Those sites not capable of SIP integration will require the vendor to provide an ancillary integration device to support SIP trunking. Eventually, all County sites will be upgraded to be able to handle SIP trunking natively. The current status is as follows: QSIG and SIP (Modular Messaging Only) signaling are in use at CAB CAB switch also integrates to SRJ voicemail via QSIG (for SRJ users only) QSIG signaling is in use at ENT, FAH and HHY but IP H.323 (not SIP) is available QSIG signaling is in use at EHC, LIB, SOS and PDO (PDO users integrate to SOS voicemail) and H.323 and SIP are not available Responses to Written Questions Q1) Does the County anticipate the centralized Avaya VOIP portal being SIP capable prior to the UM solution being installed? What software level does/will the VOIP portal support at the time of UM system cutover? A1) Yes. As clarified above, SIP is already in use at CAB for a small group of users integrating to the modular messaging system. The current software level for the CAB PBX Avaya communication manager is R015x.02.1.016.4. Q2) If not SIP-ready, will this portal have the capacity to handle the quantity of QSIG cards that will be required for a new centralized UM system integration? Is QSIG a supported feature on this portal? A2) Please refer to clarification per this addendum and response to question one above. Q3) Is QSIG supported on all of the other switches? A3) Yes. Q4) The Santa Rita site shows on Exhibit O as a gateway off the CAB site. Two sites are listed as CAB, which CAB site is the host? A4) Santa Rita has an existing Centigram voicemail system which integrates via digital set emulation back to the CAB PBX. There is only one CAB PBX location which integrates to two additional voicemail systems at the CAB location. The two CAB voicemail systems are; a modular messaging system integrating via SIP and a Centigram system integrating via digital set emulation. Q5) Is the gateway in Santa Rita stand alone survivable and does it have incoming trunking capability? If it is survivable, how many incoming trunks are currently located at Santa Rita for use in a disaster? A5) Yes. Santa Rita is stand alone survivable with 70+ incoming trunks. County of Alameda, General Services Agency – Purchasing RFP No. 900727, Addendum No. 3 Page 3 of 3 February 17, 2011 Q6) Do all sites in the network have incoming trunks that will be re-routed to Santa Rita in a disaster? Is that routing manual or automated? A6) No. DID rerouting in the event of catastrophic site failure is not implemented by the County. Q7) Is the County disaster recovery process automated or does County staff have to be involved to re-route trunks and/or bring up backup equipment at the disaster site? A7) DID trunks would need to be manually re-routed; however, call processing/control is automatic between CAB and SRJ. Q8) On Exhibit B, Bid Form, the last item in Section A indicates that the County requires "Port License Charges (min 200 users/Max 800)". Are these ports for the UM system? If so, how is this line item different than item four, Licensing Fees (per port charge), and item five, Quantity Voice/conversation Ports? Please detail the different port licenses you require for each line item. A8) The port licensing quantity refers to the web access feature. Item 4 is intended to be the per unit charge as needed for the UM system. Item 5 is the vendor recommended total systems port count necessary to accommodate calls based on the traffic statistics provided. The per port charge line item is referring to the "find me follow me" feature. Q9) On Exhibit B, Bid Form, there is no charge request for Unified Messaging licenses. It is our experience that not all users at a County are given UM, does the County require pricing for UM Licenses? A9) Please provide quote based on all users receiving UM. Q10) On Exhibit B, Bid Form, there is no license quantity item for Web access licenses? Is this required? A10) Please see Exhibit B (Revision #2) line item for "Web IP portal access…" Q11) On Exhibit B, Bid Form, there is not a line item for first year onsite warranty coverage pricing or ongoing service contract pricing. Is it the County"s intent to be self-supporting? A11) Attachment B-1, Bid Form, includes a column for 1st year support. The County does not intend on being self-supporting. Q12) There is no discussion of, nor detail on, nor request for pricing for the vendor to program any Auto Attendant, information mailboxes, or caller applications. Is pricing to be included for these services? A12) Auto Attendant and information mailboxes are required to be programmed and recorded by the vendor. These rates should be included with pricing for product application and programming installation under the labor rates section B of Exhibit B- Revision #2.

Suarez needed a little puppy love
Posted: July 03, 2014|
WHEN buying a new puppy, there are lots of things to consider – microchipping (compulsory from April 2016), vaccinating (worthwhile, important and necessary for kennel trips or travelling abroad), worming, de-fleaing, feeding – and above all, socialising.
By socialising your puppy early, and praising good behaviour you will raise a dog that can be confident in social groups of their own species, and among humans.
Similarly, a well socialised child is also more likely to continue to develop into a socially adept adult.
You can see that a well socialised puppy will enjoy a better life – because they are more confident, you can be more confident in them and let them interact with more people.
It is also true that, by positive behaviour reinforcement, you can help prevent them ever biting Italians on the shoulder.
Remember that with your dog, the best form of discipline is to stop playing with your puppy from an early age when they are not behaving – they hate feeling that their play has ended because they did something wrong.
Will stopping Luis Suarez playing stop him biting people? It remains to be seen, but it may be 20 years too late to change his behaviour!
By following this simple model of encouraging them when they behave well, and walking away from the game when they don't behave well you too can have a puppy which will neither bite nor sulk!
If only somebody had told Mr and Mrs Suarez to take little Luis to a puppy party as a kid, I wonder how different things would be now.
Might it even have been that there was a Uruguayan Gary Lineker in the making?

Woman guilty of beatings
Willis is sentenced to 10 years
A woman pleaded guilty in 30th District Court on Friday morning to three charges against her for beating her three children in a June 25 incident.
Tameka Denise Willis received 10 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on two charges and 243 days for a third charge.
She was credited with 243 days already served. Willis pleaded guilty to one count of injury to a child with intent to cause bodily injury, a third-degree felony. She pleaded guilty to injury to a child — reckless bodily injury, a state jail felony, and she pleaded guilty in a separate case to injury to a child with intent to cause bodily injury, a third-degree felony.
Two witnesses claimed Willis beat her three children for several hours while the witnesses attempted to calm her down and keep the children safe.
Wichita Falls police arrived at the Wichita Ridge Apartments, 3706 Seymour Highway, at 5:49 a.m. and spoke to the witnesses.
The incident began when Willis arrived at her home from a bar. The two witnesses were baby-sitting the children. The witnesses said Willis was intoxicated and upset when she arrived home.
She cut her 3-year-old daughter's eye by throwing a plastic tub container lid; she attempted to stab her 9-year-old with a pair of scissors while she had him pinned to his bed where he was sleeping; and she pushed her 1-year-old, causing him to hit his head on cement.
The witnesses said that the incident lasted several hours and that Willis told them she was going to kill her children.
She also punched her 9-year-old son in the face several times and choked him as she tried to pull him out of a vehicle the witnesses put him in attempting to get him away from his mother. One of the witnesses tackled Willis as she was pulling her son from the car, and the boy fell to the ground.
Willis told her son that he was dead to her and that she would beat him every time he came home.
The 9-year-old had visible scratches on his arms and torso from Willis scratching him, and a visible cut to his chest from the scissors. He told officers the same story as the witnesses.

Archived Story
Leitke's closing end of an eraPublished 11:00pm Wednesday, May 12, 2010
By JOHN EBY
Dowagiac Daily News
For 62 years, Reinhold Leitke never went outdoors to go to work.
That's a definite advantage to living your entire life in the same house, then attaching to it the business from which you draw your livelihood.
May 5 would have been Leitke's Grocery's 63rd anniversary. It survived a 1991 garage fire.
Rein. and Tina, who is also 88, remember a Dowagiac with 28 grocery stores competing for customers along with two city supermarkets, A&P and Kroger's.
A&P was where Ridge Co. is before locating on S. Front.
They worked in several identified on Rein's handwritten list.
He started in 1937 for $5 for a six-day week with Taberski's on E. Division Street, in the vicinity of the tire store.
The Daily News' Berenice Vanderburg was a customer.
Then Fred Stevens for $10, raised to $12 (where the former glass store is on Main Street), Gwilt-Hiemstra and Ben Bement, who had 28 employees to keep up with food deliveries.
"One Christmas Eve Bill Hartsell didn't get back from delivering until 12:30. Dick Sifford left just before I went to work at Bement's," Leitke said. "I worked in the meat department. I'd go in the back cooler where the meat saw was and be there all day. One Easter he sold a ton and a half of picnic hams for 14 or 15 cents a pound. He'd have a semi load of meat come with Swift and drive all over town advertising it was going to Bement's.
"At 6 o'clock they'd pull up and we'd have to unload the thing. The Swift salesman was good and taught me a lot of things. Ben Bement went to the Century Theater, where they had some kind of doings, and announced that in the next 30 minutes, sirloin steak was going to be 19 cents a pound. They lined up all the way from the store to the Shell station. I was cutting every piece they had. He was quite a promoter."
Hiemstra's was originally on Front Street "and bought Bement out when I was in the service," Rein said.
Mrs. Leitke worked at Hiemstra's, which belonged to her father, Neal, and was located on W. Railroad Street where The Manor and Trackside are today.
Leitke's went from Dowagiac's oldest independent grocery to its only and then last when it quietly closed Jan. 4.
It wasn't just the loss of McKinley Elementary School which bled it of business, but the nature of the entire neighborhood changed incrementally through the years.
"To tell the truth," Tina said, "we don't know everybody who lives down here anymore, like we used to. It's changed so much," such as students riding buses to schools outside of their neighborhoods.
"I never rode a school bus in my life," said Rein., who walked a block to McKinley.
Leitke's, behind their house at 309 Jefferson St., operated with the motto, "Small enough to know you, big enough to serve you," which they and their six children did longer than any single family food store.
When they marked their 40th anniversary in 1987, Southwestern Michigan College's graduation speaker was entrepreneur Ed Lowe, Herb Teichman was named a tourism ambassador by Michigan First Lady Paula Blanchard, Joan Jett rocked the Cass County Fair and "Hunkyville," the ethnic neighborhoods where the immigrants who built Dowagiac settled to give rise to 28 groceries, crammed into the VFW hall for a reunion.
As Rein. told the Daily News when the store turned 30, "We started on a shoestring and grew with Dowagiac."
Early on he learned the lesson of not overextending himself with credit and is proud of a life in which only two things were bought "on time."
"I believe in paying for whatever I get and getting what I pay for," he said, standing near the original store's butcher block, which he was still using to carve meats.
Their small, family-oriented operation, where he said he could "make 10 cents an hour or $10 an hour," allowed them to survive when other neighborhood shops – and larger supermarkets – vanished.
The couple used his mustering-out pay from the Air Force to stock two rooms in their house with groceries and fresh meat to open for business on May 5, 1947.
Rein. was born in the home in June 1921 and has lived there his entire life except for his time in the service during World War II when "Uncle Sam borrowed me for 39 months."
Mrs. Leitke was born in Kalamazoo, but grew up the next corner down in the same neighborhood as her future husband.
At one time, Mr. Leitke told me in 1987, he nearly took a job as a mechanic and "just missed becoming a grease monkey to become a meat-cutter."
He keeps at the ready a nice glossy of one aircraft he worked on – the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb.
Besides stints with other stores in his early years, he worked in some factories, including Kawneer in Niles, the Round Oak foundry and Rudy's.
Their six children took turns working in the store. Tom lived in California for more than 20 years, but has moved back closer in Granger, Ind.
Henry delivered mail as a Dowagiac postman for 25 years before passing away in 1995 due to complications from diabetes.
Their daughters are Alice Robbins, Susan Frazier, Justus Gage second grade teacher Judy Truitt and Kathy, who was a junior college All-American softball player. Kathy coaches women's softball for Western Michigan University.
Kathy, who lives in Kalamazoo, bought and cleared the parklike property across Paris from the homestead and maintains it as sort of a green buffer before the viaduct. Alice and Sue still live near the store. Judy lives on M-51.
The Leitkes have 15 grandchildren (Bryan Frazier is deceased) and eight great-grandchildren.
"They all come here for Christmas Eve," Tina said. "We have over 40 because sometimes they bring friends," so they may need Kathy's parcel to build a hall.
"I can't complain about our kids not wanting to help," their mother said.
Open every day of the week but Sundays, the family crammed travel and recreation time into weekends by taking their camper and showing the children as much as they could.
Except for those weekend jaunts, they seldom ventured far from the store, except for a 15-day trip to Japan in 1971 for his service reunion, including three days in Tokyo.
The grocery operated in their home the first five years, 1947-1952, with an incredible variety of food products arrayed in the confined space.
The new store attached to the back of their residence opened July 16, 1952.
In 1975 they expanded the structure, doubling floor space to 48 feet by 40 feet and adding a line of party items, including beer and wine.
Though a neighborhood mom and pop store, Leitke's offered a complete line of groceries, fresh meat, bakery items, health and beauty aids, greeting cards, miscellaneous kitchen utensils, notions and small toys.
No snow days for Leitke's, which might be the only thing open after an immobilizing accumulation. "I did more business those days when people had to walk," he said. "We put on a pot of coffee for the people. Once, it was three days before somebody came over the viaduct."
A special service which grew out of January blizzards was free delivery service to senior citizens on Wednesdays.
Leitke's also processed meat for home freezers, including deer, and custom cut and wrapped sides of beef.
Rein.'s parents, married in 1905, arrived in Dowagiac in 1913 and bought the house in 1920 after living on Clinton Street and on Cass Avenue.
They were German, but fled Russia for England, then settled in Brazil in South America for five years.
"I've still got relatives in Argentina," Leitke said.
"They came to Dowagiac because there were all these Germans – Darrs, Behnkes, Festers. When I went to McKinley, any guy who spoke English was a foreigner to me. My dad lost his job in 1929 when they went on strike at the Round Oak. Looking back, my dad made $873 one year, working 10 hours a day, six days a week."
Rein., who quit school at 14, obtained a driver's license in 1933 when he was 12, paying $1 for a lifetime permit issued by Police Chief Oscar Burch, whose department was in the Beckwith Building, where City Council met in the basement.
In 1969, when adult education was in its infancy, Rein. then 48, returned to school and completed his diploma, presented to him by Eleanor Skibbe.
If you attended Patrick Hamilton in its first go-around as a grade school, you remember C.C. Paul's store on the triangle where Spruce and Main streets met.
Another former mayor, Robert Weller, operated a store on Oak Street.
There was Walker's, just across the creek from Lions Park. Rein. mentions the "Three R" store, which sat kitty corner from North Pointe Center at N. Front and E. Prairie Ronde on land that is vacant today.
When he entered the Air Force he was almost made a cook based on his meat-cutting experience, but there were already three cooks in his 42-man company. So he was assigned as a mechanic.
"May 8, 1945, Germany surrendered," Rein. recalled. "There were nine of us guys from Dowagiac who got together in Guam," including Bradley Evans.
"In those days you had to work if you wanted to eat," Mrs. Leitke said. "Things are bad for our country, but people don't worry about it because they get welfare. It's always been that way, but it's getting worse."
They're not sure what will become of the store building.
"Susie" suggested turning it into a dance hall.
In the meantime, Tina admitted, "I feel lost. I'm so used to being in there with him. The days go by, but I don't know what I'm going to do next."

In some situations, you may need to remove Exchange 2000 from a server. The best way to do this is to re-run Setup, and at the Component Selection screen click the Remove option for the installed components.
If this does not work, it may be because there are still mailbox-enabled users. To disconnect this server's mailboxes from their associated users, use the Active Directory User and Computers snap-in to select all users with mailboxes on this server, right-click and select Exchange Tasks, and then click Delete Mailbox. If you are still not able to uninstall using the Setup program, you can uninstall Exchange 2000 manually, as described in the "More Information" section.
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

There are additional modifications and additions made in the registry during a typical installation. These entries will need to be removed also.
Warning If you use the Active Directory Sites and Services console, the Active Directory Services Interface Edit snap-in, the Lightweight Directory Protocol utility, or any other Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) version 3 client and incorrectly modify the attributes of Active Directory objects, you can cause serious issues that may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and/or Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server throughout your entire organization. Microsoft cannot guarantee that the issues that result from the incorrect modification of Active Directory object attributes can be solved. Modify these attributes at your own risk.
If you are unable to install or run Exchange System Manager, you may also manually remove enough of the server attributes to allow a successful reinstallation attempt by using the following method. This method does not perform cleanups of references to the server object outside the server's own container. Use of this method is discouraged unless you intend to immediately reinstall the server into the same administrative group, because it may require manually removing or editing many attributes on objects throughout Active Directory.
Note You can remove the entire Microsoft Exchange 2000 organization from Active Directory by deleting the Microsoft Exchange object. When you delete this object, you may be forced to reinstall all Microsoft Exchange servers in your enterprise. If you intend to remove Exchange entirely from your enterprise, you should also open the Active Directory Users and Computers management console, and remove the Microsoft Exchange System Objects container.

Megan Who? Kate's Esquire's 'Sexiest'
An Esquire source tells PopEater that more photos and commentary will be coming next week. For now, you'll just have to settle for the video above.
Esquire ran a similar video in May featuring Ms. Fox, so it's not to say that Fox wasn't on their radar.

How sad that the media needs to sell "sexy" with a scantily dressed woman. Our young girls think they need to dress skanky to be sexy. She would have been much more sexy if she were dressed in classy and appropriate clothing. Sexy is having an inner confidence about yourself and how you portray yourself to others. The lingerie cheapens her.

So on AOL's main page this story was listed as:
"Mag Picked 'Sexiest Woman Alive'
But Reader Called Her 'Too Skinny'"
Who cares what a reader thinks? Since when do we need this to promote a story? Lame AOL, real lame.
- Friday 02 OctoberBy atragon
I would like to like her, but she almost single-handedly ruined the movie Pearl Harbor. The love affair was useless. The real movie was the action scenes and the camera angles. I cant tell you how many times people in the audience groaned when the movie took a break to focus on Kate and her love affairs with the pilots. I know, I should blame the screenwriters. But there it is.
- Friday 02 OctoberBy Cris
Really? She "singlehandedly" ruined Pearl Harbor? Michael bay directed it and Ben Affleck starred in it. By default that would make her the third-worst thing in the movie.

I'm married to a very good looking man, of course I'm a woman. Kate Beckinsale is a very beautiful woman. I first saw her in the movie Pearl Harbor and thought, what a pretty woman and the guy that got her pregnant was a cutey. Kate wins as the most beautiful movie star in my book.
- Monday 05 October
How could anyone call her beautiful? You can count her ribs and if she walked on a crack she would fall through. That is what is wrong with people now a days. They had a program on tv the other day that if a model wears over a size 8 she is obese. Let me tell you....if your over 5 ft 8 you should weight more then 100 lbs. They keep these models on drugs just so they dont eat and stay skinny.
Thats why girls now days are killing themselves on diets and stuff because they think that that is a normal size. Marilyn Monroe was a size 16. Average woman size.
- Tuesday 06 OctoberBy ljsurf322
catlover...take a look at a picture of Marilyn. Open your eyes. Does she LOOK like a 16?? The truth is that you just spewed out a myth that fat people now use to feel better about themselves. Marilyn was actually a 10-12, and sizes change over the years, meaning she was actually the equivalent of today's size 6. Learn something.
- Saturday 22 January
You got that right! I'm married to a beautiful woman so I'm very thankful for it. Yes, Kate is beautiful so I'm sure she'll be like that for a long time. I still prefers the 1971's "Tora, Tora, Tora" than 2000's "Pearl Harbor" because the first movie have better historical accuracy than the latter. By the way, Kate is more gorgeous than Megan Fox.
- Saturday 03 OctoberBy Ai
I think Kate is better than Megan..
She is beautiful and she a great actress. I like her better than Fox. I have nothing against Megan, she okay in my eyes but, I prefer Kate.

The problem w/Megan Fox is that her inner beauty does not match her exterior beauty! I'll pass.

I agree with you Mike :) It is becoming overkill. I have always thought Kate is very beautiful and she seems like she would be really nice :) This video was very sexy, my boyfriend loved it !

Denmark's unbeaten run in South Africa 2010 qualifying came to an end in Copenhagen at the hands of Hungary and Akos Buzsaky.
Morten Olsen's men had already secured top spot in Group One and a place in South Africa next summer, but Buzsaky's first-half goal resulted in their first defeat of the campaign.
The hosts dominated the early stages and should have taken the lead after nine minutes when Jon Dahl Tomasson picked out Nicklas Bendtner with a perfect pass. The Arsenal striker scuffed his shot but Thomas Enevoldsen latched onto the ball before firing over the crossbar from close range.
Jacob Poulsen had the next opening for the Danes but directed his effort past the post, while Anders Moller Christensen was prevented from scoring by goalkeeper Gabor Babos with his 21st-minute header from Enevoldsen's free-kick. Babos pulled off another good save three minutes later, with Michael Jakobsen getting a foot to a free-kick from Bendtner.
The chances continued to go begging for the Scandinavian side, with Jakobsen firing wide following a good lay-off from debutant Enevoldsen.
They were made to pay ten minutes before the interval when a poor clearance from Christensen fell into the path of Buzsaky, who lifted the ball over goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen and into the net.
Denmark tried to get back on level terms in the second half but Babos was up to the challenge, punching a fierce Daniel Agger drive from 35 yards away for a corner.
Sorensen was also proving his worth at the other end of the pitch and prevented Hungary from doubling their lead after 70 minutes when he tipped Sandor Torghelle's close-range strike onto the crossbar.
With the clock ticking down, Michael Silberbauer hoped to reward Denmark's persistence with an equaliser, but a frustrating evening was capped when Babos produced a brilliant save to stop the winger's 25-yard drive from finding the top right corner.

2nd and Seven – Stretch
Armstrong – Unfortunately, the Terps don't have the services
of one Stretch Armstrong, so they'll be searching for a
downfield threat who can stretch the field deep downfield.
Surprisingly, the one player who really opened things up
downfield consistently last year was tight end specimen Vernon
Davis. In a BCS conference, if your team can't push defenses
downfield, they won't win four games. If the safeties can sit
12 yards from the line of scrimmage and stay on top of the
receivers, all the while, still be a major factor in the run
defense game plan, your offense is going to be in trouble.
Luckily, the Terps do have some receivers who can run – Derrius
Heyward-Bey can fly, but is he going to be consistent enough of
a threat to force defensive backs to be on their heels more than
they'd like? He'd better be. If not, then Danny Oquendo (a
track hurdler) and/or Drew Weatherly will have to fill that role
for Maryland QB Sam Hollenbach.
3rd and Three – Four on
lockdown – For the past three years, the Maryland pass
defense has been strong, to say the least. In each of those
three years, the Terps haven't given up more than 185 yards per
game through the air. Sure, it's helped to have DBs like
Dominique Foxworth, Gerrick McPhearson and Madieu Williams
patrolling the secondary. Last year, the keys to the secondary
were handed over to cornerback Josh Wilson. The senior is one
of the best cover corners in the ACC and should challenge for
first team All-ACC honors. Last year, he racked up 73 tackles
and broke up eight passes, the returning leader for the Terps in
2006 in those categories. With McPhearson off to the NFL, the
spot opposite Wilson will see a significant share of the action,
but if teams dare to test Wilson, it might not work out well for
4th and One – The Fridge is
back – Sitting in the Georgia Tech locker room back in 1999,
graduate assistant John Donovan (now Maryland's QB coach) pulled
out a binder that looked like the New York City phone book.
When pressed as to what that monstrosity was, Donovan responded
with "that's Ralph's playbook". Shoot, are those pages
single-sided? Ralph Friedgen's playbook was only rivaled by a
copy of War and Peace, but Ralph always put it to good use when
he was the offensive coordinator at Georgia Tech, among other
coaching stops. Some coaches have a knack of knowing what play
to call, at the right time with the right personnel on the
field. His experience calling plays in the NFL with the
Chargers helped him to take advantage of matchups. Whoa, hold
on, he's the head coach, not the offensive coordinator any
more. Sure, he's the head man, but after some coaching staff
maneuvering, it looks more and more like Friedgen will be
calling the offensive plays this fall. Considering how the
Maryland offense has struggled at times the last two years, the
Terps need his presence with the play card in his hand. Even if
Friedgen doesn't have the absolute final say for the play call,
the timing of his being more involved with the offense coincides
with this being Friedgen's most critical year in College Park.

Customer Reviews of Wireless Remote Key Finder & Locator with 4x Receivers
Wireless Remote Key Finder & Locator7/1/2013
I ordered the Wireless Remote Key Finder & Locator with 4x Receivers. The products would not work. Two of the receivers could only be heard if you held the receiver next to your ear, the other 2 were dead. I called 1-510-488-3790 for return twice, the calls went to voicemail, and I left all the voicemail information. I have received NO response from Mail-Direct.
Just what I was looking for6/28/2013
This is a perfect gift for my father-in-law who is always losing his keys. I have looked in stores for quite some time for just this item. I will reorder if there is someone else that could use it.
iTEM WAS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED AND SHIPPED EXTREMELY FAST
Volume on receiver so low can barely hear it when holding right next to your ear. Waiting for my refund.
Inaudible and transmission weakness8/23/2011
I agree with DFW. The volume is so low you can't hear it even when you are close. Also, when you hit the transmitter, you have to be practically next to the key finder for it to respond. If you lose your keys, chances are they will not be close. Transmitter would not activate the finders as close as 12 feet. Not a good buy. I did get a refund; however, it did cost me return shipping. Chalk it up to a learning process.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Practically Inaudible8/12/2011
Virtually worthless due to the very low volume of the receivers. The only way to hear it is to hold it next to you ear which is of course not very helpful if you are trying to find something. You could be right beside it and never even know it because you wouldn't hear it.6 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

This post is going to be all about 2014's New Year Resolutions. I think I did really well on all of them, really. I guess this is a small survey of what my 2014 looked like in some form or another.
There's some study floating around somewhere that says that you're less likely to complete your goals if you shout them to the world. Something about feeling like you've done the work just because you've told someone that you were going to do the work, so you end up not actually doing the work cause you're pleased with yourself. Humans are funny that way.
So I decided not to shout it to the world; instead I just wrote them down on a blog post that I would publish a year later. This is said blog post, edited heavily throughout the year of course, and my list was actually very short and in my opinion, very manageable:
- Read 12 books, one book a month should be manageable.
- Embrace the girly side.
- Keto-on to be below 155 lbs.
- No video games.
I obviously didn't achieve all these, no one ever succeeds in all their new year resolutions, but I did fairly well all in all. In August, I did a brief check-in with myself and wrote what I actually had accomplished in the year in terms of my resolutions, here's that tally as I wrote it verbatim on Aug 24th:
- 8 completed books before the end of August, about 5% into the 9th. Right on schedule.
- It's become a problem. I have developed a really bad makeup addiction.
- Have failed miserably so far, and have actually put on weight. I had started the year at ~160 and as of today I'm ~175. Not to worry though, there's still time. The summer has been a terrible influence. I was hovering around 165 most of the year. All hope is not lost.
- I call this a success (so far) even though I've logged into Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2 a handful of times, and none of those have been longer than than 20 minutes.
The final tally for all of the above in December doesn't look terribly different:
- Read 11.5 books. Sadly, the Harry Potter books get longer as time goes on, and I got busier with life. Alas. I still call this a success though, it might as well be 12 books.
- Success! I've embraced the girly side so much that I really do need to do something about it. Let's just say that this involves a 2015 resolution now.
- Super failed. I ended the year at 175 lbs. I'm not stressing though. Sometimes I go: "I should keto and be skinny again" and then I go "but, now I want cupcakes..."
- Success! I can't believe that I actually managed this one. I actually am not even sure if I'm going to binge play anything now, or anything. I have half-a-mind to keep this going. I really don't want to let it get out of hand again. I rather eat, and explore restaurants/bars/things with friends. We shall see.
- Quiet, the Power of Introvers by Susan Cain (January)
- This book I picked up for a couple of reasons. It hadn't been long since I had figured out that I was introverted, or at least put that label on myself. I picked up the book to see if I would find more about myself from it. I didn't really, but it mostly reinforced things that I had thought about in the past that were kind of never plainly stated before. I had also picked this book up to see if there was any value in giving it to my father, in an effort to help him understand me better. I thought better of it though, and didn't do that in the end. I might eventually, who knows.
- This book was a second read through for me. I had read it the first time in college and loved it, and I loved it all over again the second time around. It makes me really sad that this is the only novel that Oscar Wilde wrote. His voice is so great, and the way he writes so clever. Also to consider the fact that Oscar Wilde was openly gay in a time when it was not okay to be gay, gives the novel a completely different air and perspective. Much love for this, will probably re-read it several times in my lifetime.
- This was a recommendation from a coworker that knew I was really into period pieces and specially love Jane Austen's work. This is based off Price & Prejudice, one of my favorite novels ever. It made no attempt at the Jane Austen voice, which was very refreshing, but did try to keep the dialogue on-par with the time it was set in. It is a novel that happens to the servants of the house in which the Pride & Prejudice ladies live in, their daily lives, and basically compares and contrasts how life is so different for people in the servants' hall vs. the ladies of the house. It was like a book version of Downton Abbey, but better.
- At this point in the year, I had decided that I needed something more elegant than the simple voice of the first Harry Potter books. I guess one could say that I was looking for something with more wit. I toyed with the idea of reading a new period piece, but I ended up picking up this old friend for a 4th time. It simply does not get old. The Jane Austen voice is too good, so witty, so complex. I love reading a paragraph and thinking "wait, what did she say?" and have to re-read it several times over to grasp the intricacies of it. I'm sure it will not be the last time I read this book either.
- I actually really loved this, it was very well done, and the story-line kept you on your toes. I picked this one at random from the index on my Kindle. I had recently purchased all of Oscar Wilde's works. I was not disappointed.
- Don't judge me! This one is long, and I was moving in Sept/Oct.
I feel like I don't need to explain why I re-read the Harry Potter series this year. I just love it so much. I always catch new things every time I read it. This marks the 4th time I've read them all. It's plainly written, and it grows up as it goes. By the end of the series, it is just so dark in comparison to the first book.

The stone-and-timber resort crowns Beaver Creek Mountain above the bustle of Vail Valley like one of King Ludwig's Bavarian castles. Inside this imposing hotel are all the amenities any royal might desire—panoramic views from most rooms, stone fireplaces in more than a third, and high, plush beds in all. When you're finished hiking or skiing (or grow tired of gazing out at your kingdom from a balcony), head to the 21,000-square-foot spa and fitness center for a dose of bottled oxygen at the fresh-air lounge or a dip in the cascading grotto hot tub. Spago, Slopeside, and Buffalos are restaurant and bar destinations in their own right.

This is a nice resort located in a gated community above Avon. The resort is structured to look like a park lodge. We received a free upgrade in our room because of a mistake made in reservations. The suite was one of the best we have stayed in. I loved waking up in the mornings walking around this property. The only negative thing about this property is that the food is way over priced (a club sandwich will cost you twenty dollars) but the hotel
does offer a free shuttle to Beaver Creek where the food is much cheaper. You could also stop at a supermarket before arriving and get some sodas and other things you might want. Overall we loved our room and the setting around the hotel we just wished we had prepared for the food situation before hand.

One of the nicest spots in Colorado if not the whole country. I have stayed in several Ritz-Carletons and been a little dissapointed but not Bachelor Gultch. Far exceeded my expectations and my expectations very very high.

Earlier, Irda had earlier informed insurers that letter issued by UIDAI containing details of name, address and Aadhaar number was considered officially valid document
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irda) said on Monday that the e-KYC (electronic know-your-customer) services operationalised by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) will be accepted as valid KYC process for insurance.
Earlier, Irda had informed insurers that a letter issued by the UIDAI containing details such as name, address and Aadhaar number was a valid document for customer identification.
UIDAI had operationalised e-KYC services recently. "The acceptability of these services for KYC purposes under the Prevention of Money-laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005, was discussed with the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance and operational issues were taken up with the insurers," Irda said in a circular. It pointed out that the finance ministry has said e-KYC services may be accepted as a valid process for KYC verification under the Prevention of Money-Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005. In the light of this, "it has been decided that e-KYC services of UIDAI is acceptable for KYC verification subject to specific and express consent of the customer to access his/her data through UIDAI system", Irda noted.
The regulator added in cases where e-KYC services are availed for KYC verification, certification requirements under earlier guidelines of anti-money laundering shall be deemed to be complied with.

Good reporters take an in depth view of topics they are reporting on. A little research or asking the health department official could have provided readers more information on the smoking laws, which so far, the Register failed to report.
As of Aug. 4, 2008, 2,388 businesses received notices of smoking violations, 682 were cited. Yet, not one individual has been cited. It's not unlawful for a person to smoke, it's against the law for a business to let you smoke. Business owners have not been provided with training in law enforcement nor have been given a badge or authority to arrest anyone. I can only imagine going in front of a judge accused of trying to enforce the law. In line with some people's thinking, after the Rite Aid robbery, the clerk should be arrested for giving a person a controlled substance without a prescription. At leastcigarettes are legal.

Sugar Sugar Doughnuts

Sugar Sugar Doughnuts
The mere thought of these doughnuts is enough to spark giddy, mouth-watering excitement. Sugar flying in the air, the smell of dough frying in oil, even the flipping manoeuvre - it's all great fun! Doughnuts are one of those foods that have the power to lure - who can refuse an invitation to have a warm doughnut or five, especially around Chanukah? This yeast-based version is light and airy and the effort you will invest in working the dough is all worth it. We dare you to have just one!
- Prep Time : 10 min
- Ready Time : 10 min
For the dough
- 7½ cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup warm water
For the topping
- Sugar, for coating
Doughnut dough
1. Follow preferred method for kneading the dough:
Directions for kneading the dough by hand:
Combine flour, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Add orange juice, oil, eggs and warm water. Continue mixing in the bowl to form dough, then knead on a floured surface, adding more flour if necessary.
Directions for kneading the dough with a mixer:
Place all ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook and mix at low speed until the dough comes together.
2. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 hour 30 minutes.
3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a ¼-inch thickness, using a rolling pin.
Cut using a doughnut cutter and place them on a clean dish towel. Once finished cutting all the doughnuts, cover with a towel to prevent them from drying and allow to rise for 20 minutes.
(For leftover dough, see tip below.)
4. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
5. Fill a deep saucepan to a depth of 2 to 3 inches with oil and place over high heat. Working in batches of 5 or 6 doughnuts, fry 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
6. Toss doughnuts lightly in sugar while still warm and serve immediately.
Tip: For leftover dough, gather and allow to rise for 20 minutes before rerolling and cutting more doughnuts or wrap dough in plastic and freeze for up to one month. When ready to use frozen dough, thaw in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before rolling out and cutting doughnuts.
Fried doughnuts may also be frozen for up to one month before being coated in sugar. When ready to eat, reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes, toss in sugar and serve warm.

Can these donuts be baked?
OMG – my "tester" could not get enough of them. Some "changes" -1- I did not have OJ, so I used grape juice instead. -2- I used my bread machine, so I put the liquids in first, then the dry ingredients, and the yeast in last, just as I do for my challah. SO, my question is – is one to take "challah" from this recipe, too? I did, but………..
Same thing with this would like to try but health issues prevent it

My birthday is around the corner. I don't usually ask for presents, but this year I've decided to make an exception. I'm asking all my friends and family to donate to charity: water and give clean water to people who need it, instead of giving me gifts.
Did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But it doesn't have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.
100% of every dollar you donate to my birthday campaign will be used to build clean water projects in developing countries. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need.
Help me make this birthday my best ever -- donate to my campaign!

If a car is made well, has good parts, and is taken care; it will run for years. From work to home and from road trips to vacations, a good car will take you everywhere you need to go. It's the same with diet pills.
Many people are skeptical of diet pills because they've used some lemons. But just like cars, if a diet pill is made well and used correctly, it can make a huge difference to your weight loss efforts. In fact, not only do diet pills work, but they work faster to burn excess fat than you could on your own.
If a diet pill is going to work it needs three things: the right ingredients, the right doses, and someone who knows how to use it correctly.
What are the Right Ingredients?
The right ingredients are ingredients that work. They burn fat, suppress appetite, boost metabolism, normalize blood sugar levels, etc… The method isn't what's really important. What's important is that if an ingredient is supposed to do something, it should actually do it.
The only way to know if an ingredient works is to test it. Fortunately, you don't have to do this. Researchers take ingredients and put them through clinical tests to see if they are safe and effective.
If a diet pill manufacturer uses clinically proven ingredients, they'll usually let you know. If it doesn't appear that the ingredients have been tested, then chances are high that the diet pill won't work.
What are the Right Doses?
If the right doses aren't used, even the best ingredients will be too weak to make a difference. Knowing what the right amounts are is tricky. For one thing, manufacturers don't always tell you if they've used the right dose. This puts more work on you because you may have to do some research on what the right doses are. But some manufacturers don't disclose ingredients amount! If that happens, it is almost impossible to know if the right dose is being used.
There are a couple things you can do to know if the right doses are being used. First, if the doses are disclosed, put in the effort to find out if they're right. Yes, it means some extra work, but it will be worth it.
Second, if doses aren't disclosed, read customer reviews of a product. They answer the question, "do diet pills work?" better than just about any other source.
How to Use a Diet Pill Correctly
A diet pill may have the right ingredients and the right amounts, but if you don't use it correctly, it won't work either.
Diet pills can be very powerful, but they're not a free pass to eat whatever you want and sit on the couch all day. They are designed to work best when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. In fact, many of the best diet pills suppress your appetite so you can eat better, and give you more energy so you can work out. If you want long-lasting results, you've got to do more than take a diet pill. You have to use it the way it was designed to be used.
The Truth About Diet Pills
So, do diet pills work? Absolutely yes! If they have the right ingredient, the right amounts, and are used correctly. The best diet pills can increase your metabolism, burn fat, suppress appetite, normalize your blood sugar levels, and increase your energy. All these methods and more combine to help you lose weight faster and better than ever before.
Cars and diet pills have a lot in common. If you find a good one and use it correctly, it will take you everywhere you need to go; whether that's a summer vacation or a slim, sexy body.
Abidexin is the #1 Rated Diet Pill on the market today. Designed with patented, proven and safe diet pill ingredients, Abidexin is GUARANTEED to deliver visible weight loss results fast!
Fenphedra is the most extreme diet pill, infamous for its controversial weight loss formula. It is simply one of the most powerful diet pills on the market. It is no wonder why it's our #1 User Rated Diet Pill!
Comments on "Do Diet Pills Work?"
All diet pills I've tried don't work. I've been trying for 40 years,only one works starving myself. Under 500 cal a DAY,.
I am looking for a diet pill that will help me to lose the weight that i feel would make me feel better about the person i see when i look at myself. I also need one that I can take and still have no worries about passing a drug screen that i need to be able to pass for my job. Can u help me find one that will fit my needs.
I'm looking for a good diet pill ,I've taken over the counter and they work but slower stop working for me
Does it really work?
halla I'll also like to try the diet pill(Apidexin).I've tried a lot of sliming products but they dont seem to work.So I'll love you tp help me out
could use a free sample,I have try alot of diet pills that promise to work but at the end im just out of money if your pill really works on me ill be 50-plus pounds happier and in better shape to tell my testimony to all my freinds and family.Im 48 years old 5,9 and weight 290 lbs please help( bad knees,lowerback/neckproblems )
