How do you ensure that a student (or educator) is really a student (or educator)?
Microsoft verifies students/educators by using various reputable databases to confirm identities. Based on the institution selected, the system will choose the identity provider that maintains the database (i.e. their school, organisation or other academic-based group). The Microsoft system connects with the identity provider, and the student will supply his or her credentials for verification. Microsoft will then receive confirmation of current academic status.
For some reason I can't get verified. How do I ask for assistance?
Please contact customer service via the "Support" tab in the navigation bar of this page.
What schools are eligible to participate?
All accredited higher-education institutions (e.g. Community Colleges, Universities, Vocational & Trade Schools) are considered eligible to participate.
Who is eligible for academic verification?
Both current students and educators are eligible for academic verification.
Why isn't my school/institution listed as a verification source?
We are working as fast as possible to include all eligible schools in our list. If your school isn't on the list you can still get verified. We have alternative student identify providers (IDP's), such as the International Student Identity Card (ISIC), which you can use to verify your academic status. You can also select "Other options" and upload documentation in order to verify your academic status. If you are still unable to verify via these methods please contact customer service via the "Support" tab in the navigation bar of this page and we will assist you.
How can I provide feedback or request technical help?
Please contact a customer service representative via the support tab above and we can assist you.
How often does my academic status need to be verified?
Once a year. Or, we should say, once every 12 months from your last verification date.
Is Microsoft collecting my personal information?
Microsoft will store your general location (which assists with download bandwidth efficiencies). This information will not be used to contact you. Windows Live ID profiles that have been associated with verified students may be eligible for content and/or additional services.
What does being verified mean?
Simply put, being verified means that the academic
status of a user has been confirmed by the verification source (usually a school, organization or
commercial student identity provider) selected by the user within the Academic Verification Engine.
Each user has to be verified as a student or educator before taking advantage of the education
product offers in this site. We verify student status the first time they visit, and then once a
year thereafter.
What are the steps for student verification?
There are just four easy steps. If you're not signed in to your Windows Live ID account, the site will first direct you to the Windows Live ID sign-in page. Next you'll visit the Academic Verification page where you'll take the following steps:
1. Verify or select your country from the drop down menu.
2. Select your preferred verification method (3 choices)
a. If you select "Get verified through my school", you'll be taken to the school search page where you can follow the steps to search for and select your school to complete verification.
b. If you select "I have a Verification Code", you'll be required to enter the activation code that was given to you by either your school's administrator or Microsoft.
c. If you select "I have an ISIC card", you'll be required to enter your student identification card number.
3. Click "Continue".
I haven't received my verification e-mail. What should I do?
It's possible that your e-mail junk or spam filter has caught the verification mail, so check there first. Otherwise, if you haven't received an e-mail within 24 hours of placing your verification request, please contact customer service via the "Support" tab in the navigation bar of this page.
How do I manually verify my academic status?
You can process a manual verification request by clicking "Other options" and completing the Manual Verification form in AVE and uploading a copy of one of the following documents:

He was also asked whether he authorized the tactics used against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
"I was aware of the program, certainly, and involved in helping get the process cleared, as the agency in effect came in and wanted to know what they could and couldn't do," Cheney said. "And they talked to me, as well as others, to explain what they wanted to do. And I supported it.
"There was a period of time there, three or four years ago, when about half of everything we knew about al Qaeda came from that one source," he added, referring to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. "So, it's been a remarkably successful effort. I think the results speak for themselves."
Cheney said the prison at Guantanamo Bay could be responsibly shut down only when the war on terror has ended. Asked when that might be, he added, "Well, nobody knows. Nobody can specify that."
Cheney warned that prisoners released from Guantanamo could prove dangerous to the United States, adding that the problem of what to do with released prisoners had not yet been solved.
"If you're going to close Guantanamo, what are you going to do with those prisoners?" he asked. "One suggestion is, well, we bring them to the United States. Well, I don't know very many congressmen, for example, who are eager to have 200 al Qaeda terrorists deposited in their district."
Meantime, Cheney said the Guantanamo detainees have been "well treated."
"I don't know any other nation in the world that would do what we've done in terms of taking care of people who are avowed enemies, and many of whom still swear up and down that their only objective is to kill more Americans," he said.
The outgoing vice president also disputed former Bush adviser Karl Rove's recent comments about the decision to go to war in Iraq.
While discussing Bush's legacy earlier this month, Rove said he did not believe the administration would have gone to war had intelligence revealed Saddam Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction.
"I disagree with that," Cheney said Monday. "As I look at the intelligence with respect to Iraq, what they got wrong was that there weren't any stockpiles."
"What they found was that Saddam Hussein still had the capability to produce weapons of mass destruction. He had the technology, he had the people, he had the basic feed stock."
Cheney added that, given Saddam Hussein's capabilities, reputation and track record of brutality, "this was a bad actor, and the country's better off, the world's better off with Saddam gone, and I think we made the right decision, in spite of the fact that the original NIE was off in some of its major judgments."

Dubai Stocks Decline 13% From 2013-High as Rally Halts on Syria
Sept. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Dubai's benchmark stock index fell more than 10 percent from its 2013 high as the prospect of a military strike against Syria weighed on investor sentiment in the oil-rich Persian Gulf.
The DFM General Index dropped 3.7 percent, making it the biggest decliner among 94 benchmarks tracked by Bloomberg globally, to close at 2,396.79 in Dubai. The measure has plunged 13 percent from its Aug. 25 high, entering the so-called correction today. Dubai Investments PJSC, which holds stakes in more than 40 businesses, tumbled 5.3 percent, while discount carrier Air Arabia PJSC fell for a third day.
U.S. President Barack Obama yesterday won support from two top House Republicans for military action against Syria as he seeks Congressional approval for his plan to punish the regime of President Bashar al-Assad for alleged use of chemical weapons. Shares in Dubai are the best performing benchmark in the world this year after Ghana as the Persian Gulf business hub's economy recovers from the global financial crisis.
"The 50 percent year-to-date rally adding to the uncertainty of the Syria issue will definitely drive investors to lighten up and reduce exposure to local stock market until things are clearer," Tariq Qaqish, a Dubai-based fund manager at Al Mal Capital PSC, said in an e-mail.
The Middle East accounted for about 35 percent of global crude production in the first quarter of this year, according to the International Energy Agency. Syria borders Iraq, the biggest producer after Saudi Arabia in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are part of the United Arab Emirates, the fourth-biggest OPEC producer.
Syria Vote
The world's five worst performing benchmarks were from the Persian Gulf today. Oman's gauge lost 2.9 percent, Kuwait's dropped 2.6 percent, Abu Dhabi's fell 2.3 percent and Saudi Arabia's Tadawul All Share Index lost 2.2 percent. Qatar's Index retreated 1.9 percent, while Bahrain's All Share Index was little changed.
The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee is scheduled to vote today on a use-of-force resolution that sets a 90-day limit on military action. President Vladimir Putin said Russia will only consider supporting a United Nations resolution authorizing military strikes if there's conclusive proof it used chemical weapons.
Dubai Investments declined to 1.61 dirhams, while Air Arabia lost 6.2 percent to 1.22 dirhams.

Apologies for the delay of this weeks review.
In the time span of Nov 5 to Nov 11, the North division went a combined 6 and 6 with lots of goal scoring. In 3 games, Newmarket outscored opponents 17 - 15, while Aurora outscored their opponents 11-1 in 2 games.
The Pickering Panthers went 1-2 with their only victory coming in a shootout against the high flying Georgetown Raiders who saw their 5 games win streak come to an end Sunday night.
Meanwhile Stouffville got back on track with some big wins over Pickering and Hamilton pulling themselves back into the playoff race.
And finally Lindsay only played in one game which was a tough 9-4 loss to the Nationally ranked Buffalo Jr. Sabers.
North Divison Game of the Week Review: Pickering Panthers 2 - 3 Stouffville Spirit
This game could be described as a broken record for the Panthers, in the sense that they have been unable to play a full 60 minutes for a number of games this season. Things got off to a good start when Brodie Tutton scored on an early power play just a minute and a half in, and Pickering looked to be in control. Nicholas Lepone would add another goal at the halfway point of the period, and Pickering would take a 2-0 lead into the intermission leading the shot counter 21-7. Stouffville was flat and seemed slow out of the gate and it looked like Pickering was on its way to a divisional win.
But the second period, which has not been kind to the Panthers all season long, struck once again as Stouffville came out with a new lite fire under them. The fired shot after shot on Panther goalie Steven Dombrosky, before finally Peyton Backus put home his 7th goal of the season and brought the Spirit back within one. By the end of the second period, Dombrosky and the Panthers faced a total of 26 shots while only managing a mere 2. The second period was a complete flip from the first.
The third period was a little more even, and the score would become just that when Joseph Deveny scored an unassisted goal at 5:24 to tie it up at 2. Again the two teams would trade chances before rookie Michael Morgan scored his 8th of the season, and after a bad start, the Spirit would steal the 2 points back from Pickering, who felt like they should have been able to win the game, more valuable points slipping through the Panthers claws.
North Division 3 stars:
3. Taylor McCloy - Aurora Tigers
- with 3 goals and 1 assist in the Tigers 2 games (both wins), the Keswick ON native continued his point streak which now stands at 5 games (5 goals and 4 assists).
2. Kory Kennedy - Aurora Tigers
- Like McCloy, Kennedy lead the Tigers in big wins over Mississauga and Orangeville. His 2 goals and 3 assists on the week have him leading the Tigers with 26 points on the season
1. Trevor Petersen - Newmarket Hurricanes
- Petersen was the beneficiary of Newmarket's high scoring week, as he collected 4 goals (a hat-trick vs Whitby) and 2 assists.
North Division Rookie of the Week: Matthew Bernard - Aurora Tigers
- Bernard scored his first goal of the season benefiting from the Tigers big offensive output.
North Division Team of the Week: Aurora Tigers
The Division leaders were a scoring machine this week while being a wall on the back end. Outscoring opponents 11-1 in 2 games shows that this team has the ability to play a very strong 2-way game.
North Divison Game of the Week Preview: Aurora Tigers at Lindsay Muskies (Friday Nov 15, 2013, 7:30pm EST)
This week is going to be a big test for the Lindsay Muskies with 2 divisional games, the first being Friday night against the high flying Tigers. The Muskies must find a way to slow down the offence from Aurora AND be able to break through the defence. Not an easy task.
Final note: with Remembrance Day now behind us, let's never forget those who have served and are serving for our freedom! Try not to leave the remembering to one day of the year, we should be saying thank you every day!
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them."

I have lived here for just over three months and my experience that started here was less than great, I had a Read Morehorrible move in with no information given by the leasing officer who is no longer with them I will add they lost my move in money order, I had at one point two days without water and it took several hours the first day to even get anyone out to look at the problem which was a building wide problem , and most recently I have not had a mail box at my apartment for several weeks and have had to go to the post office to retrieve it. That being said, some things are beyond their control the post office has to fix the boxes they cant , they needed a part to fix the boiler as it turns out, things of that nature. The staff that is currently at the leasing office puts effort in doing their best to rectify problematic situations from the past and are moving forward and have since provided me with nothing but stellar customer service.

Hello! I'm fairly new to online dating and looking forward to meeting some great people on here! Some of my many passions include running, yoga, food, coffee, travelling, reading, spending time with my amazing friends and family and running my business. I see a lot of live music for work and for pleasure, and my absolute favourite nights are spent checking out one of the city's many film festivals, sharing great conversation with friends over drinks or food or discovering the charms of a brand new city (most recently Tucson and Chicago - both were a lot of fun but in very different ways). I also love to spend time at home relaxing, reading or catching up on my favourite HBO shows. My music tastes span a really wide range, and are ever-expanding, as I work in the music industry. Bob Dylan, Radiohead, Kanye West, K'Naan, Blind Pilot, City & Colour, Kathleen Edwards, Dan Mangan, Hannah Georgas and Common.. by the time we meet this list might have doubled in length :-) I love a great sense of humour in a man, but can't stand jokes that rely on racism, sexism or homophobia for their punchlines (lame!). The five qualities I value most in a partner are sincerity, humility, optimism, open-mindedness and ambition. I'm extremely warm-hearted, optimistic, open-minded and kind, and if you are the same, I look forward to meeting you soon!!

There is no definitive recipe for this antipasto, intermezzo, side dish or after-dinner salad. Pinzimonio means "combination," and the dish consists of an assortment of the freshest vegetables available and some good-quality olive oil.
Pick the vegetables from your garden, or go to a farmers' market. There need not be great variety: An arrangement of crisp carrots, radishes and spring onions would be wonderful, as would tender young artichokes and fragrant bulbs of fennel. Most of the vegetables are served raw, but some things, like string beans, are better blanched, and certain root vegetables, such as beets and potatoes, should be cooked thoroughly. The prosciutto and bread in this recipe are not traditional, but they add lots of flavor and substance. Quantities are left up to you; they will depend on the number of different vegetables served and the number of guests at the table.
Arrange vegetables on platter. Allow guests to drizzle oil onto their plates and season oil to taste with salt. Serve olive oil with vegetables, bread and prosciutto.

Dr. Shalini Jaggi
Dr. Shalini Jaggi, Senior Consultant, Diabetology is currently associated with Paschim Vihar based Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute's Action Diabetic Centre. Dr. Jaggi has a special training in handling CSII Insulin pumps and CGMS and is well versed with all aspects of diabetes management (outpatient as well as inpatient care including diabetic emergencies and foot care). A believer in holistic diabetes care, she has been actively involved in numerous diabetes awareness camps and programmes.
Sexual dysfunction is a common, underreported and largely underappreciated complication of diabetes. A large number of cases go unrecognised owing naturally to the traditional reluctance both on the part of the patient as well as the physician in discussing such issues which are considered too personal to be discussed outside the bedroom. It is now well known that diabetes has a major impact on both male as well as female sexual functioning. Just as a good blood sugar control is necessary to lead a healthy life free from the well known complications of diabetes on kidney, eye, nerve, foot and heart, it is also very important for leading a normal sexual life.
Statistics on diabetes and sexual dysfunction in Indian Men
Various studies have effectively documented the relationship between diabetes and sexual dysfunction. In males, the common problem is that of erectile dysfunction (ED) which is the inability to initiate or maintain an erection. Studies show that approximately 35 percent-75 percent of men with diabetes face this issue as compared to 26 percent of the general population. Also, diabetic men suffer from this problem 10-15 years early in their life as compared to their normal counterparts. It should be noted that this occurrence is gradual and never happens overnight.
In diabetes, it involves both vascular as well as neural mechanisms with atherosclerosis in the penile and pudendal arteries which are the major causes of erectile dysfunction. Another major contributor to the high incidence of ED in diabetic males is autonomic neuropathy arising due to chronic uncontrolled diabetes.
Other problems associated with sexual dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction is thus related to marital dissatisfaction, depression, poor emotional acceptance of diabetes and sexuality as well as a reduced acceptance of the problem and its treatment. Sudden onset of the problem could most likely have an emotional or psychological effect such as stress, depression, disaffection and performance anxiety. A complete examination of medical history focusing on high risk factors such as cigarette smoking, alcoholism or drug abuse, hypertension, trauma or endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism, raised prolactin levels and reduced testosterone levels should be done. A large number of medicines as well as emotional issues need to be ruled out. It is important to note that sexual desire is not lost with ED-only the ability to act on those emotions.
Prevention and treatment
Once a diagnosis is made, preventive measures such as improving glycaemic and blood pressure control, de-stressing, quitting smoking and reducing alcohol intake have shown to be beneficial in patients with ED. Once ED has developed, oral agents can be prescribed by the doctor as a first line therapy. Testosterone injections or patches should be tried in patients with documented low testosterone levels. For patients who cannot be given oral therapy, intracavernosal injections of vasoactive drugs under the training of a trained urologist or andrologist are an acceptable alternative. Mechanical therapy involving vacuum-assisted erection devices as well as penile prosthesis are also a viable option. Psychotherapy should routinely be offered to all patients and their partners.
Sexual dysfunction can be a huge psychological burden on patients with diabetes and can have a negative impact on marital relations that are already burdened by the existence of a chronic illness. Thus, the recognition and identification of this problem and proper treatment and counselling by the treating doctor go a long way in restoring normalcy in the lives of many couples who quietly suffer the agony of this disorder. It is very important to recognise that sexual dysfunction is a common complication of diabetes and it is alright to discuss it with your doctor who can help you get over it.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Editorial Staff • West End • 24 Aug 2004
But Slater recovered and the show went on to become that rare thing, a substantial and popular West End success that was particularly adept at attracting a younger generation of theatregoers through the doors. Now, wearing her new hat as West End theatre owner with Max Weitzenhoffer, Burns has brought it back to town to the Garrick, one of the four theatres in the Nimax stable, and even if it might seem a little soon to be seeing it again, it deserves to have a further life now for those who didn't get a chance to see it in the first place.
Away from the initial brouhaha that surrounded it – some of us were genuinely surprised that such a triumph had been plucked from its adversity – it's possible to see the play's human and theatrical virtues more clearly. Slater, too, has grown considerably in the kind of cocky confidence as Randle Patrick McMurphy that is in fact his undoing. As a new inmate who goads, taunts and constantly throws down the gauntlet of challenging the authority of the tyrannical Nurse Ratched, it's all too clear that she's going to play her cards even as she invokes endless petty rules to prevent him from playing with his.
Slater is also now finely matched by Alex Kingston's Ratched, more truthful, restrained, and therefore more scary than Frances Barber's high-camp turn before. This Ratched is as starched and pinched as the impeccable white uniforms that are brilliantly offset by the bright red lipstick and nail varnish she also wears. Kingston, a former RSC rising star who long ago left for the US where she made her name as Dr Elizabeth Corday in television's ER, makes an impressive return to the London stage in appropriately medical mode.
The large ensemble also features such returning actors as Brendan Dempsey (imposing as the catatonic seeming native Indian), Owen O'Neill, Gavin Robertson and Ian Coppinger, who are also newly joined most especially by Paul Ready, whose stutteringly insecure Billy Bibbitt is genuinely moving.
- Mark Shenton
NOTE: The following THREE-STAR review dates from September 2004 and this production's original West End season.
Casting directors take note: comics make great lunatics. And they certainly take over the asylum in this revival of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Hollywood's Christian Slater may have star billing as RP McMurphy, the petty criminal who likes "to fight and fuck" and was immortalised on screen by Jack Nicholson, but he clearly recognises that Dale Wasserman's play, based on Ken Kesey's cult 1960s novel about rebellion on a strict mental ward, is an ensemble piece.
Despite his status, Slater demonstrates incredible on-stage generosity towards his comic co-stars – Ian Coppinger as the diminutive but big-hearted delusional Martini, Phil Nicol and Gavin Robertson as the twitchy Cheswick and Scanlon, and Owen O'Neill as prim aesthete Harding - who, in turn, inspire the best aspects of his performance. Competitive camaraderie, mischievous glee, real strength in numbers.
Less successful is Frances Barber as Nurse Ratched who, rather than ever suggesting masked vulnerability, simply increases the volume in her transformation from cold manipulator to screeching harridan. Still less effective is the role of Chief Bromden, now played by Brendan Dempsey, who has the bulk but lacks a true sense of ancestral wisdom. He should provide a moral and narrative driving force; instead his internal musings create disruption rather than cohesion.
Those most familiar with Cuckoo's Nest from Milos Forman's 1975 Oscar-winning film will also be perplexed by some small but significant changes to the story. In particular, the final scenes here are more muddled, both in terms of motivation and emotional punch, particularly where Mackenzie Crook's stuttering Billy Bibbitt is concerned.
It's a disappointment that, despite enjoyable compensations from the crack ensemble, co-directors Terry Johnson and Tamara Harvey seem unable to resolve.
- Terri Paddock
NOTE: The following review dates from August 2004 and this production's original run at the Edinburgh Fringe.
After the wait and the fanfare, the chicken-pox stories and the shedding of original director Guy Masterson (replaced by the duo of Terry Johnson and Tamara Harvey), Christian Slater's cuckoo has finally flown over Frances Barber's nest.
The result was worth waiting for, too. It hums along at a decent pace and, while it might not be the definitive One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, nor is it the worst. All the drama around the build up to the play is certainly not nearly as much, nor as dramatic, as the energy and drama which is generated on the stage.
Slater sets about creating the role of RP McMurphy with his own gutsy bravura and, in doing so, he succeeds in stepping well out of the shadow cast by Jack Nicholson's creation of the role for the cinema. You never believe that Slater's McMurphy is actually mad; he's only a simple criminal who thinks he's onto a cushy number by getting sent for assessment in Nurse Ratched's ward in a mental hospital. It's enticing stuff.
As McMurphy's nemesis Nurse Ratched, Frances Barber also succeeds in stepping out from the film's shadow. She does not, however, have much success in her creation of the role itself. Ratched calls for a certain amount of stiff formality, of course, but Barber is all stiffness. There's never any inkling that underneath it all, she might be hiding unbridled passion. Nor, indeed, is there ever any hint that McMurphy or the inmates of her ward regard her as a figure of desire.
What Slater does - and what Barber fails to do - is to show generosity towards the other actors in the company. If any revival of Cuckoo's Nest is to work, McMurphy and Ratched must vie for the hearts and minds of the other patients on the ward. Rather than hog the limelight, Slater allows Harding (Owen O'Neill), Cheswick (Phil Nichol) and Martini (Ian Coppinger) to enjoy the stage while their characters grow too, thanks to McMurphy's tutelage into the ways of women and gambling.
It is Mackenzie Crook's stuttering and sexually repressed Billy Bibbitt who has to fight hardest to overcome the bravado. Crook works hard to bring a sense of doom and pathos to Bibbitt. But it's with this character that the whole production really shows its lack of coherence.
Bibbitt should provide the real tragedy of the play but, on this occasion, the decision to delay the moment of poignancy for McMurphy's sake serves only to dissipate much of its power. The result is a potentially great production made merely good.
- Thom Dibdin

Kings defenseman Willie Mitchell, whose recovery from knee surgery was expected to take a few weeks but has lasted two months, underwent an MRI exam Monday to gauge his progress. "There was no structural damage and no setback," General Manager Dean Lombardi said Tuesday. Lombardi said the decision on when to rejoin the lineup remains up to Mitchell, who was medically cleared to play last week. Mitchell didn't skate Sunday or Monday. The team was given Tuesday off. Without Mitchell and Matt Greene (back surgery) the Kings have relied heavily on defensemen Drew Doughty and Rob Scuderi in crucial situations. Doughty played 29 minutes 59 seconds Monday in the team's 3-2 shootout victory over Vancouver, raising his time on ice to a league-leading average of 29:10. His defense partner, Scuderi, is averaging 25:20, which ranked 18th in the NHL through Monday's games. For Scuderi, 34, that's a big jump from the 20:36 he averaged last season. But he said he hasn't felt tired. "I think j...

To build or not to build
My husband and I downloaded the free e-plans for the oven and now are not so sure about it. For those that took the plunge and did yourself rather than purchase already to go, was it worth it? We have the knowhow, my husband is a plumbing contractor and good with projects, but this looks like a rather large undertaking. I really want the oven!!!!!:D
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Re: To build or not to build
Hi Potionlady,
and welcome aboard.
Look, it is much more satisfying, let alone financially beneficial to build your own and it can be done in less than a month of weekends or as long as you want.One guy over here, (although he died prematurely) took over 3 years to build his, whereas I built mine in a few weekends, ready for curing and use.
A kit is a good alternative, BUT you still need a base to sit it upon, assembly, and curing before you can bake in it and it will cost you considerably more.
My suggestion is, go for broke and check out numerous builds, read and read more, decide exactly on what you need and want, source your materials and get into it.
I guarantee that you won't regret it, they are fantastic and many of your friends will envy you if not try and outdo your build once tried.
Re: To build or not to build
If you want it, build it. You won't regret it. It does take time, and you will learn new skills along the way. But if I can do it, anyone can.
Re: To build or not to build
I don't think you'll find many people on here who'll tell you it's not worth building an oven! I'm not sure I've read a single word of regret about the decision to build on even a single thread. Once you start cooking you'll probably wonder why you didn't build one 5 years ago. I've only just finished building mine but I'm already having so much fun cooking with it, learning the best way to manage the fire, gaining experience with temperature control...
I wouldn't say that a simple oven is such a huge undertaking (although there are some impressive and complex ovens that guys on here have built!!) Of course it takes time and a certain amount of money, but you can pretty much do it bit by bit so it doesn't ever feel like a chore.. also you'll learn new skills. The plans can possibly look a bit daunting at first, but look around at some of the other builds, some are simplified versions.
Having said that I'm sure if you got a kit the pizza would taste just as good!
Re: To build or not to build
Hello Potionlady
By the few comments you've already recieved, comes the answer...Go for it!!!!
This forum is the perfect reference guide to anybody wishing to take on the challenge of building their own wood-oven. Use the previous threads to familiarise yourself with the prosess of building your own wood-oven before commencing and then ask the forum for advice on anything. ( I wish that I found this forum before I attempted mine).
Even though I'm fairly new to this forum, I've realised that the genuine majority here are very generous in helping out people with enquirees/problems.
My own little imput would be to take your project step by step and look at the finished result of what you wish to achieve before starting yours as this will affect your initial "setting out"
Best of luck on your project.........Go for it!!!!!
Terry (C.F)
Re: To build or not to build
I spent about 80 hours, foundation to finish, on my 40 incher.
Re: To build or not to build
Thanks for all of your input. We have decided that this would be a good project for us to do together. I will be in touch. I checked out the pictures and that really inspired us to go for it. Thanks!
Re: To build or not to build
now the work begins.
researching, reading and deciding is the hardest part of the project. There are so many alternatives, styles, materials etc that you need to make a decision. Doing it as a couple only complicates the issue a little unless you have similar ideas. My other half was not involved in the planning, location nor build and I really think she couldn't have cared less but now, she loves it and encourages it's use more and more.
Good reading ask your questions, find an oven that impresses you or suits your style, budget, source your materials and as they say, Just do it!

Long-distance, faxing capabilities restored
Nueces courthouse, jail without service more than 2 weeks
Long-distance telephone and faxing capabilities at the Nueces County Courthouse and jail were restored shortly before noon Wednesday, 21/2 weeks after they were disconnected because of service issues and a communication error.
The county received notice more than a month ago that its long-distance service no longer would be provided by York, Pa.-based carrier Capital Telecommunications Inc.
Responsibility for switching to a one-year, state-sanctioned long-distance contract with AT&T was delegated several weeks ago. But once the AT&T contract was in place, the company could not turn on service because of a series of technical problems at the courthouse, said Glen Sullivan, Nueces County public works director.
One glitch was a coordination problem between the county's local service provider, McLeod Communications, and AT&T, Sullivan said.
"We finally got that straightened out, but then we had a problem with an internal switch in the county's system," he said.
The switch in question was a 15-year-old component in the county's aging phone systems, County Judge Loyd Neal said.
The next step for the county is to form a new plan from the county's purchasing and public works departments to make sure the system works efficiently, he said.

1995 Ford E-350 Q&A
1995 Ford E-350 Question: Runs fine when cold and then when warm loads up
Starts fine and runs great for 10 to 15 minutes. Then it starts running rough and idle goes up a little and has black exhaust. Definatly loading up with fuel. Lack of power. Feels like tranny slips when running rough. May be just lack of power. Feels fine when cold. - blueeyez
Answer 1
Basically one of two areas needs addressed. My first thought is basic - has to do with the amount of air verses fuel ratio that is required for a cold engine verses a warm engine. As the engine warms, it gets more air introduced to mix with the supplied fuel. It is possible that as it warms it is not taking in enough air. Check for sticking idle air control valve or an air intake restriction. Second thought, and more likely probably -- as the engine warms, it goes from "open loop" to "closed loop" in the engine's processor. The processor (PCM) looks for a certain engine temperature to be achieved, and then goes into "closed loop", that is, depends on its various sensors to send information in that helps the PCM adjust fuel, air, spark, transmission shifting commands, etc. Sounds like your problem does not occur during cold, "open loop" running. When it warms and hits "closed loop", your oxygen sensors, for example, figure into the fuel / air ratio calculation, and could be throwing things off. You need a professional diagnosis. A qualified technician would probably monitor short and long fuel trims with a proper high quality diagnostic tool. Good luck! - DaveJHM

Classic Nia
Classic Nia Class
- Th
- Sa
- Su
Day: Thursday
Time: 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Enjoy your first Nia class at this location for free! Email or call me (Stacey) to let me know you're interested. (My email address is listed under my profile picture.)
Drop in is $12/class or buy a "4 Class Card" for $40 each or make it 6 for $60. (Cards never expire.)
Please note: there will be no class on October 30th.
Notes About This Class
If you've tried Nia before, you know this class with Stacey will be fun. And if you've never tried Nia before, but you enjoy moving to music, I promise you will sweat AND smile!
Each class starts with slow, Tai Chi and Modern dance inspired moves to ease our bodies into flexible movement. Next we add some fun, heart stirring Taekwondo-style kicks and blocks along with some Jazz box steps and cha-cha-cha's to really move our energy. Finally we lengthen, stretch and learn about our body using moves and strategies from the healing arts: yoga, Feldenkrais and the Alexander technique. Bodies of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to come dance, and adults of all ages are welcome -we have students in every age of fabulousness from 30's well into their 70's!
Wear clothes that make you want to move and bring your dancing soul as we groove to the beautiful and eclectic sounds of Nia music. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated and be prepared to dance in bare feet to work over 7000 nerve endings in your feet (of course, if you have previous foot injuries feel free to bring shoes you can move in). A yoga matt is also recommended but not always used (usually it is for the last few songs).
Please call or email me if you have any questions at all, or if you are thinking of trying your first class but you want to know that a familiar face will be there to greet you on your first day. :o)
I look forward to experiencing the joy of movement with you!
With joy and gratitude,

Jonathan Nolan, Creator/Executive Producer
Kevin Chapman
Sarah Shahi
Actors Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson, and creator/executive producer Jonathan Nolan are among the people of interest who make CBS's Person of Interest one of the most provocative shows on television, assuming even greater relevance in the wake of recent revelations of widespread government surveillance programs. Created by Nolan (whose previous works include collaborations with his brother Christopher:Memento, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises), the series, now in its third season, stars Caviezel as John Reese, a presumed-dead former CIA agent who teams up with the mysterious billionaire Harold Finch (Emerson) to thwart violent crimes that Finch's surveillance software invention has identified as about to happen (Time magazine calls them "quasi-legal vigilantes – using power to achieve a definite good, saving the lives of the innocent"). Though typically classified as a crime show—TV Guide praised it as a "rare crime drama that revels in actual mystery, its dark, paranoid tone embodied by two damaged heroes"—Nolan himself told a San Diego Comic Con audience over the summer that he is "unabashed about the fact that it's a science fiction show." When news broke this year of PRISM and other real-life government surveillance programs, television critics were quick to draw analogies to Finch's invention, The Machine, and Nolan responded by saying, "Now that reality has caught up to us, we aim to push a little further in the third season out into that science-fiction space."
Critics have lauded Person of Interest not only for its riveting, thought-provoking concept, but also its artful depiction of a post–9/11 universe and its splendidly nuanced characterizations. The series also stars Taraji P. Henson and Kevin Chapmanas New York detectives, and adds Amy Acker and Sarah Shahi, both joining the regular cast this season. Joining Nolan and JJ Abrams as executive producers are Greg Plageman and Bryan Burk.

I found some interesting stuff in Michael Emerson's fan page in Facebook, which I uploaded to the Michael Emerson photo gallery.
Now, I personally don't think that Michael Emerson is the one posting in Facebook, as from the correspondences I've had with him and from the interviews I've read about him and heard him do, it is quite obvious that Mr. Emerson is not technologically savvy and is proud of it. So, more than likely, the posts are made by either Warner Brothers, Person of Interest, or his own staff members. Either way, the posts, I think I am safe in assuming, are approved by him. Here are smaller versions of these posts, and as always, to view the larger versions, just click here:

Ever wonder what is Michael Emerson's favorite app for his iPhone? Well, Adrienne Gaffney of the Wall Street Journal asked him, as well as other celebrities and got an answer: Here's Michael Emerson's answer:
Michael Emerson58, actor who starred on 'Lost,' which won him his second Emmy Award. He currently appears on 'Person of Interest.'Mr. Emerson uses an iPhone.
WSJ: What apps do you use?
Mr. Emerson: I have this thing called TuneIn Radio which allows you to listen to stations and anything that's streaming, all over the country and I guess all over the world. A lot of times we're on location in remote places or in the bottoms of buildings where you can't get a regular radio signal and I can pick all my local New York favorites. You can select by category, blues or children's music or college radio stations and just pick whatever you want. I'm such a radio person. I swear I listen to more radio than I watch TV.
I use TuneIn Radio when I'm at work or on location. But I'll play it the whole time when I'm in my trailer or in my dressing room at the stage.
WSJ: Is there an app that you had that you stopped using?
Mr. Emerson: I'm about ready to get rid of my dictionary app. I keep asking it for words that it doesn't know. So I'm tired of that. I guess I need the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) or something like that as an app. I should really explore that and get a more powerful dictionary engine because I keep stumping my own dictionary. That's not right.

Seasoned performer who found stardom through 'Lost' and 'Person of Interest'
He may not be a household name, but Michael Emerson became a household face by virtue of his role as the sinister Benjamin Linus in Lost, the leader of the group called the Others on the show's hallucinatory South Pacific island. Emerson, born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1954, was already a theatre veteran with a string of intermittent TV performances to his credit. Now his ascent became rocket-assisted as he appeared in all of Lost's six seasons except the first, winning an Outstanding Supporting Actor Emmy in 2009.
Lost ended in 2010, leaving even faithful viewers bewildered by its mystical and metaphorical ending, but the following year Emerson was cast as the enigmatic billionaire Harold Finch in the mystery-drama series, Person of Interest. It was created by screenwriter Jonathan (aka Jonah) Nolan, collaborator/brother of film director Christopher, and like Lost, the series is made by JJ Abrams's Bad Robot production company. Not a bad pedigree, since Abrams's entertainment juggernaut has also launched Alias, Fringe, Undercovers and Alcatraz on TV, and the movies Cloverfield, Star Trek, Super 8 and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. The prepost
After a relatively slow start in the US, where it airs on CBS, Person of Interest has suddenly boomed in its second series, and now ranks in America's top five shows. Season two is currently showing in the UK on Channel 5 on Sunday nights, where it may not topple the likes of Mr Selfridge and Call the Midwife, but is pulling a million-plus viewers and rising.
The show centers around the eccentric relationship between Emerson's Finch and Jim Caviezel's John Reese a former CIA agent who had suffered a psychological crack-up following the death of his lover, and was living as a hobo in New York. Finch has devised a computer system for the government called The Machine, able to hoover up data from all manner of surveillance sources to predict terrorist attacks. However, Finch found that it could predict "ordinary" crimes too, though it could only identify an unnamed "person of interest" who was involved, without specifying whether they're perpetrator or victim. Finch rescued the burned-out Reese from the gutter, and now sends him out as investigator and enforcer on Machine-specified missions…
(1) ADAM SWEETING: What was your first glimpse of Person of Interest?
MICHAEL EMERSON: I read a pilot script. It was sitting on JJ Abrams's desk. Terry O'Quinn [from Lost] and I had been trying to cook up some kind of project together because we get along so well, and nothing was quite clicking. I thought come on, this is Bad Robot, and I said "what have you got?" So they gave me this thing that Jonah Nolan had written, and I thought it was exciting and I liked the high-tech, high styleness of it and its noir quality. And the fact that it was set in New York City was really appealing, though right now I'm feeling like it's a bad bargain weather-wise because it's been really a cold snowy winter here and we shoot outdoors quite a bit, so the work has been kind of tough and bone-chilling lately. I guess I was spoiled by the climate in Hawaii [for Lost], but really the island I prefer is the island of Manhattan.
(2) Is JJ Abrams very hands-on?
No, I think JJ's role in this particular case was to be the sort of broker or bringer together of the artistic parties. I think he has bigger projects that take most of his attention. But it feels like a Bad Robot show and I'm happy to be part of what seems to be a kind of repertory company of actors who work on JJ's projects. I just like the stuff he picks. There's always an element of mystery or the thing untold or the black box into which we cannot see, and I share that feeling with him. That's where there are some similarities between Lost and Person of Interest . Like all Bad Robot shows it bounces around in time a little bit, it has some central questions that will never be answered, there's an air of mystery about it. Jonah tried to create a state of paranoia where no-one can be trusted which includes the conventional authorities, although we do have good cops and bad cops.
When I got on Lost I came in the middle of series two, and I think they had peaked in terms of viewership. It was never the same again after the first season, but those who stayed with the show were more fanatical than any TV viewers I've been around. I think half the people that talk to me on the street now are still watching Lost, maybe they got the box set. Everyone wants to take you to task for the ending. Finally I met someone the other day who said "I just want to tell you I think the ending was beautiful", and I said "well thank you for that, I'm glad I didn't have to make my pitch."

Keith Appling dunks on Iowa, Gus Johnson shouts, 'What' (VIDEO)
Mar 16, 2013, 3:00 AM EDT
Keith Appling and Michigan State trailed Iowa 35-26 with 17 minutes to go when the Spartans junior point guard threw down Iowa's Melsahn Basabe, who stands 6-foot-7, six inches taller than Appling.
The monster slam woke up Michigan State, who turned the nine-point deficit to a 59-56 win as the Spartans advanced to the Big Ten semifinals against Ohio State.
If that isn't enough, Gus Johnson, who already had an epic call for Brandon Paul's game winner, could only shout out, "What!" following the posterization.

Here's a comment. Basketball is played in colleges that are not in the Big 10, Big East, PAC 12, SEC, etc. The Mountain West Conference is holding its tournament in Vegas this week but apparently CBT is not aware of that fact because there is not on blog on the results. For those readers who have not been adequately informed by the people who should be doing it, New Mexico, probably the best defensive team in the country, just beat San Diego State, another power team and UNLV beat Colorado State. Despite the fact that these 4 teams will almost certainly be in the NCAA Tournament and with good seeds, CBT keeps its attention riveted on inferior teams in inferior conferences. The Mountain West has the highest RPI in the country. Second-tier teams in the conference such as Boise St. (21-10) and Wyoming (19-13) are capable of beating anybody and could give a top seed a very long night if the committee chooses to select them. Wake up guys, the geography of basketball is changing and you are standing around with your pants at your knees.

Actually, you missed the REAL point of this. One of the most deserving will miss the NCAAs this year, and this was showing it in full glory. Gus Johnson is the best announcer in college basketball, and he's going to be prevented from doing the tournament this year. This is our last chance of the year to hear things like "Eeeaaoowwww! WHAT!!!"
Frankly, I don't care about either of these teams at all. Without looking up, I can't even tell you who Michigan State was playing. But I Loved hearing the play by play.

@anxovies TLDR
Also that dunk was crazy, since when can Appling do that!?

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A midsize, midprice chain hotel in the middle of the city -- but it's nicer than average, not middling
It's a Westin. Translation: It's nice. You won't find innovative design, fun extra touches, or variety in the artwork. But the rooms are clean and comfortable (at 325 square feet, they're spacious but not huge), and have all the Westin signatures -- white-tea-aloe bath products, two-headed showerheads, and the popular "Heavenly" beds. The service is efficient and cordial, but not doting. Indeed, describing the hotel is a lot like describing a Starbucks ("You know, it's a Starbucks ... "), which, incidentally, is another Westin staple: Every room features a coffee machine and several bags of Starbucks brew. This Westin even has a little coffee kiosk (calling it a coffee shop would be an overstatement) in the lobby that "proudly brews Starbucks coffee." There is also a restaurant, 1400 North, and lounge, Liquid 14 which feature staple hotel fare.
Formerly a Wyndham, the 406-room high-rise was taken over by Starwood Hotels in 2007 and fully renovated. Westin's main theme -- wellness and peace of mind -- is ubiquitous at this branch. The best feature is probably the impressive fitness center, which boasts a large selection of modern equipment as well as some nice bonuses, like a yoga/stretching room and personal TV screens on the cardio machines. To remind guests there's a second room in the back of the fitness center, the sign says, "become one with yourself with our exhilarating equipment to the rear of the gym." Next to the coffee kiosk: "Elevate your sense with a freshly brewed rejuvenating elixir at our Starbucks Kiosk." An elixir, eh? Must be some cup of coffee. The truth is that it's more a gimmick than anything else: With the exception of the ban on smoking throughout the hotel, the wellness theme doesn't manifest itself in a way that will affect your stay at all.
Finally, a few tips:
The immediate area around the hotel is a bit quiet at night and on the weekends, but great sights and cafes are still within walking distance.
The name is apt -- the Westin is indeed in the city's center. It's located downtown, half a block from Thomas Circle and the National City Christian Church. But on the other side of Thomas Circle, the area straddles two very disparate neighborhoods: the bustling business district and the vibrant, flourishing residential section at 14th Street, near Logan Circle.
A solid but unspectacular business-oriented downtown hotel, the 406-room Westin boasts a great gym, solid service, and clean, comfortable rooms. But while its rooms and features best those at the more historic Radisson Mayflower, it's also worth considering the nearby Four Points by Sheraton, one of the district's best business hotels.
