Place stays crowded, but it's because of the drinks. Enjoy the great bar and terrific service, but stick to drinks. If you have no other choice and have to eat, your best bet is their buffalo wing appetizer.

The margaritas here are great but the food is mediocre at best. Completely uninspiring food. How hard is it to make a burger taste bad? The atmosphere is fun if you like to be surrounded with a bunch of Columbia kids, otherwise you should probably stay away.

The heights is great from every angle. The bartenders are cool, the food is both excellent and reasonable priced and if you catch them in the lunch menu the $5 or $6 burrito is hard to beat. The nacho's are homemade and another excellent choice. In fact after typing this review I think Im heading there for lunch NOW :)

I have lived in the neighborhood for almost 4 years and have eaten here a handful of time and every time the food or the service is subpar. It's great in the summer to grab drinks on the roof...just eat before you go.

Cheap and yummy margaritas for happy hour and good burgers. Highly recommended.

The food was very good, the steakwich was very tasty, but a bit skimpy. I never saw my daughter eat popcorn shrimp so qucikly & the next day asked when we could go back. Great list of microbrews & a wide selection of eating choices that were Mex/Tex & cafe. We ate on the roof & it wasn't the ritz, but it was way-cool. The service is very friendly & good too. We will go back soon.

I have been coming here with my children since The Heights opened. The food is excellent--I particularly recommend the salmon and the nachos--and the atmosphere is pleasant. The staff is unfailingly kind and attentive and is very patient with my picky children's many food idiosyncracies. In the warm months, the rooftop seating area is a delight and is worth waiting for. There are many tasty vegetarian alternatives. I adore their sauteed spinach, which can be ordered as a side order and comes with the salmon. The food at The Heights is much better quality than at most places that welcome children, so you get adult quality food with many menu items which appeal to children and teens.

As we move full steam ahead into 2013, governments and businesses across Asia Pacific are becoming increasingly concerned about the level of digital literacy in their communities. According to Towers Watson's
'Global Talent 2021'
report, the rapidly developing digital economy is increasing the demand for highly skilled technical workers, and digital business skills are seen as most critical to economic growth especially in the Asia Pacific region.
We have been working throughout the last decade to improve education systems across the Asia Pacific Region and around the world in order to prepare the next generation for the 21st Century workplace. Digital literacy is an important component in the development of competitive, robust economies across the region. The spread of ICT and the expansion of educational opportunities have the power to transform societies.
In 2012, Intel joined with numerous organizations to improve digital literacy across the Asia Pacific. The
Intel Easy Steps Program
, a digital literacy program developed for learners with little or no prior computer experience, has been widely adopted across the region. We've worked with educational institutions, governments and non-government organizations in ten countries across the region, to deliver digital literacy skills to a wide variety of beneficiaries.
Since being established in 2010, the Intel Easy Steps digital literacy initiative has enriched the lives of more than 1 million people in 20 countries.
For example, in the Philippines, Intel Easy Steps has been incorporated across various professional development programs by
, the government-run vocational education institution supporting adult learning. At the age of 40, Lorelyn Royales was one of the first to enrol at eLearningVille, a TESDA-accredited institution providing computer training using the Intel Easy Steps Program. After taking the classes, Lorelyn, who had been unable to complete college, said "I feel like I have accomplished more than completing a college education with what I have learned". She is now one of the few employees at her work who is capable of using a computer and is proud of what she is achieving using her newfound skills.
Another success story is Simon Sikuan, whose life was changed through his participation in the Intel Easy Steps program offered at Pangasinan School of Arts & Trades, a TESDA-accredited institution. The resources and mentorship he received throughout each module of the program helped him establish a firm grasp of digital knowledge. The interactive, hands-on methods used by the teachers helped him overcome his fear and learn skills quickly.
As such, he not only developed computer skills but the course also gave him the opportunity to acquire mentorship skills through his volunteer role as an assistant facilitator in class. Simon utilized his knowledge to become a part-time tutor. He uses the
Intel® Education Help Guide
as a reference to help members of community acquire the computer literacy that they need to live in a digital world.
The Philippines has not only implemented the Easy Steps program with education institutions, but has also innovated, expanding the reach of the program by offering content online through a Filipino
Facebook application
. This application is being translated so it can be launched in other Asia Pacific countries in 2013. In Vietnam, the Easy Steps program has converted the course into a viewer-friendly television show that will air on the national VTC channel, reaching rural communities and other previously isolated groups.
In India, similar stories of success from digital literacy initiatives can found.
Kali Prasad Samantaraya
a tribal youth from the Manikpur village of Banpur, Odisha, India found limited employment opportunities in his rural town. In 2010, his passion for learning led him to seek a job with eKutir, a social enterprise that works on rural empowerment. In early 2011, Kali Prasad discussed the digital literacy needs of rural communities with the managing director of eKutir. Soon after, he was signed up to a two-day Intel® Easy Steps training program in New Delhi.
Kali Prasad is now the head of the Odisha digital literacy program for eKutir, "today, I help other people in my area become digitally literate".
Programs such as Easy Steps are helping to bridge the 'digital divide' that restricts the opportunities for underprivileged and rural students in the
In addition, Intel India worked with policy makers on the
National Digital Literacy Mission
, a digital literacy summit hosted by Hindustan Times and NASSCOM. Presenting at the event, the Honorable Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology, Sachin Pilot, reiterated the government's goal of making at least one person in each household digitally literate by 2020. To achieve this objective, over 240 million Indians would need to become digitally literate.
The positive impact of Intel's efforts to improve digital literacy are being felt across the region as people are gaining the skills required to improve their employability, access information, and utilize digital services. The next generation is entering the workforce with the skills necessary to compete effectively in the digital era.
For those with the skills to participate in the digitally connected world, sharing knowledge and information has never been easier. Computers and the Internet are providing the opportunity to make information more accessible, and to more evenly distribute knowledge and skills to people everywhere in the world. Yet many people across the Asia Pacific region lack the skills required to access this information and a new gap of inequity is growing as a result of this digital divide.
The benefits of technology and a connected world can only be realised if people are empowered with the knowledge and skills to access and use them. Across Asia Pacific, Intel is delivering on its long-term commitment to apply technology to enrich the lives of people by working to increase digital literacy through the Intel®
Easy Steps
program and by partnering with governments to increase access to technology.
In the Philippines, the Intel Easy Steps program was introduced in the small town of Tanauan early this year. Tanauan is a rural farming community in Leyte province. The local government is using the Intel Easy Steps program to teach digital literacy to the community members. They have placed a special emphasis on delivering these skills to women involved in teaching, rural healthcare, and farming. The program is having direct
in the community and enhancing the personal and professional lives of the residents.
Gudilla Dacunay, is a preschool teacher in Tanauan who learned to use a PC through the program. She immediately saw the education potential for her students and she wrote to the local mayor asking for the loan of a laptop and projector for her school. She created presentations to teach her young students colours, numbers, letters, animals, basic spelling and more. She says that the students are excited and more engaged in class and the parents say that the students do not ever want to miss class because they think school is fun.
For Merlie Songalia, a rural healthcare worker, Intel Easy Steps was an important step in her professional development. Her organisation has moved to a computerized system and no longer used type-written records. Following her training she can now create the data profiles that are required after each household visit on the computer and submit them electronically.
Ermelinda Ganalon and her husband, a famer for hire, live on a farm they rent and are married with seven children. She took the Intel Easy Steps course in order to learn how to use a computer so she could keep in touch with her sister-in-law in Hong Kong and to help teach her own children the basics.
Tanauan's municipal mayor, Agapito Pagayanan, says of the program: "I think it's important because we are now in the computer age. Our constituents have to keep up with the technological developments in the international community."
The team came across a heart warming story that emphasizes the mayor's point on the arrival of the "computer age". Eufemia Tolibas attended the Easy Steps training at the Tanauan Community e-Center and during the module on Internet and email she was introduced to Facebook. With the help of the trainer, she searched for her son, who she had not seen for seven years. She found him in minutes and has been able to reconnect.
Since that day they have exchanged messages through Facebook and exchanged telephone numbers. With the help of the trainer she is also planning a Skype call so she can see her son for the first time in seven years.
Improving digital literacy in communities is also critical to developing local commerce, enabling it to keep pace with the world's ever evolving economy. For example, despite having a good education
Rekha Ravat
struggled to find work. Her story is a testament to the success of Intel's partnership with the NGO Pratham which is providing young Indians with the skills demanded by the modern workplace, whether that is as an employee of a company or by empowering them to be successful innovators and entrepreneurs.
Rekha is a young woman from Bhavanikheda, a small village in Rajasthan, India. Even though education for girls is not a high priority in her community, Rekha's parents sent her to school. She was a very good student, but after graduating, she was unable to find work in her community. Rekha felt that her life had hit a dead end, "Even after 14 years of schooling, I had nothing to show in my life! It was very depressing." She enrolled in the computer literacy courses offered by Intel's NGO partner, Pratham. She recognized the importance of these skills immediately and decided to pass them on to others. Rekha started her own Digital Literacy Training Center in her village and is now an entrepreneur who is not only sharing digital literacy skills with others, but she is helping to support her family financially and is respected by the people in her village. Rekha says, "I cannot thank Intel and Pratham enough for this huge change in my life!"
Through initiatives like Intel Easy Steps we are delivering digital literacy programs that empower people and build communities by improving employability and increasing economic opportunity. By doing so we believe that Intel's communities will be able to answer the world's future social, economic and environmental challenges. Digital literacy continues to be a key focus of Intel's commitment to bring significant transformation to our communities in the Asia Pacific and around the world.
In November 2010, Intel Microelectronics Philippines, Inc. signed a memorandum of understanding with the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) to begin deployment of the Intel® Easy Steps Program.
The Intel® Easy Steps program provides adult learners the opportunity to improve their social and economic self-sufficiency through digital literacy. The Intel Easy Steps materials use proven adult learning techniques to teach practical and relevant skills to people with little or no prior computer experience.
The Intel® Easy Steps program is being driven by Intel in Asia to address the digital literacy needs of government employees, as well as adults in rural communities, women, unemployed youth, and other underserved populations by delivering training on specific activities that are immediately relevant to their lives. For example, the program includes instruction on running Internet searches, using email, using word processors for creating resumes and other documents, creating spreadsheets to manage business and personal finances, and using multimedia tools to create brochures and posters to promote small businesses. Thus the program participants can develop literacy skills as well as immediately start applying the skills learnt into their personal or professional lives.
The content is also designed to be suitable for either formal or informal education settings including vocational training centers, employer training, or shared access centers.
The Intel® Easy Steps MOU signing in the Philippines is part of the company's roll out of this new education offering in Asia after Pakistan and India. The signing was one of the highlights in the 6th Knowledge Exchange Conference on Community eCenters in the Philippines in November.
Approximately 1000 Community eCenters in the Philippines will stand to benefit from this partnership. Similar MOU's have been signed in India and Pakistan. In India, the Digital Empowerment Foundation, a local NGO, will utilize the Intel Easy Steps program to train individuals through centers across the country, while the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports Government of India will use the program to train youth volunteers through its Youth Club network. In Pakistan, the Government of Sindh Ministry of IT will use the program to train government employees, while another semi-government organization Lahore Electricity Supply Company (LESCO) will use Intel Easy Steps to increase the digital literacy of its employees.
Discussions are ongoing with a variety of governments and NGO's in several countries to expand the reach of this much needed training to bring digital literacy skills to people across the region.

Sticks and stonesWritten by Autumn Lee | | email@example.com
Words will never hurt us, the playground rhyme says, but some barbs thrown at our city and country this week have us stung and seething.
In a post-election interview in the Nov. 30 issue of Rolling Stone magazine, respected political analyst David Gergen tells publisher Jann S. Wenner, "They're feeling the effects of globalization, especially in northern Ohio. I was in Toledo ten days ago, and it's like, 'Whoa, it looks like a war zone.' They're very much feeling the economic squeeze …"
War zone? We'll be the first to admit our city has some areas that need immediate and long-term rehabilitation, but to call any part of our city a "war zone" smacks of off-the-cuff hyperbole that is irresponsible and libelous. Gergen addresses his comments on page A9, but the damage is done. The magazine's 1.4 million readers, most of them younger males, will see our city described in terms that should be reserved for Iraq. Gergen, who has served as a senior adviser to four presidents, owes the city and its citizens an immediate apology for a comment he cannot defend.
On a national scale, former Mexico President Vicente Fox is making the rounds bad-mouthing the United States. Fox, the speaker for the 2007 Toledo After Hours event hosted by Junior League, recently told an audience in Mexico City, "We are already a step ahead, having been born in Mexico. Imagine being born in the United States, oof!"
A report in the San Antonio Express-News said his thinking is in line with Mexican citizens who "often see America as full of broken families, rampant drug use and unchecked materialism, run by a government that doesn't hesitate to go to war or meddle in the affairs of others."
Odd, ironic sentiments coming from a country that, according to the Immigration and Naturalization Service, sees millions of its citizens illegally enter the United States, a country with more than a small hand in the drug trade.
When Fox arrives for his speech, he should be treated with respect. But if he continues to disrespect the United States in such broad and disdainful terms, maybe the Junior League should schedule a different speaker.

Import/export Contacts For 'mail'
i-Book/G4/1.3/OS X Tiger
I am trying to import my contacts from my web-based (Earthlink) e-mail client. As per the instructions, I exported the contacts to my computer as .csv files and then imported them with Mac 'Mail' When I do it, it shows all of the contacts to be imported, but after I click the import button, I get nothing. I even tried the same technique with Entourage and got several hundred empty contacts.
What am I doing wrong?
I also went to Hotmail, but they don't even appear to offer the option to export their contacts from the web-based client. (how very 'MicroSoft'). Is that true, or did I just overlook the option.
Anyway, If there is something I am doing that I can correct, it would wonderful. I can't imaging entering all of my contacts manually. I lost the originals when I did my upgrade. (my fault)
Thanks in advance,
Den Gleason
Try importing them into the address book, not into Mail...
Open address book and select 'Import...' from the 'File' menu.
Ahh... I misspoke... I was trying to import them into ADDRESS BOOK (so I could use them in MAIL. Still no joy...
Export as vCard, much easier to manage that way.

Product description
In "The Net Delusion: How Not to Liberate the World" Evgeny Morozov argues that our utopian, internet-centric thinking holds devastating consequences for the future of democracy. We were promised that the internet would set us free. From the Middle East's 'twitter revolution' to Facebook activism, technology would spread democracy and bring us together as never before. We couldn't have been more wrong. In "The Net Delusion" Evgeny Morozov shows why internet freedom is an illusion. Not only that - in many cases the net is actually helping oppressive regimes to stifle dissent, track dissidents and keep people pacified, with companies such as Google and Amazon helping them do it. This book shows that free information doesn't mean free people - and that, right now, everyone's liberty is at stake. "Offers a rare note of wisdom and common sense, on an issue overwhelmed by digital utopians". (Malcolm Gladwell). "Passionate, admirable and important". ("Observer"). "The book is a wake-up call to those who think the internet is the solution to all our problems". ("Daily Telegraph"). "A delight ...his demolition job on the embarrassments of "internet freedom" is comprehensive". ("Independent"). "A compelling rebuff ...required reading for everyone". ("Sunday Times"). "Piercing...convincing...timely". ("Financial Times"). Evgeny Morozov is a contributing editor to Foreign Policy and runs the magazine's influential and widely-quoted 'Net Effect' blog about the Internet's impact on global politics. Morozov is currently a Yahoo! fellow at the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy at Georgetown University.

Review quote
Evgeny Morozov offers a rare note of wisdom and common sense, on an issue overwhelmed by digital utopians -- MALCOLM GLADWELL Gleefully iconoclastic ... not just unfailingly readable: it is also a provocative, enlightening and welcome riposte to the cyber-utopian worldview. The Economist A delight ... his demolition job on the embarrassments of "internet freedom" is comprehensive ... as we go down the rabbit-hole of WikiLeaks, Morozov's humane and rational lantern will help us land without breaking our legs. -- Pat Kane The Independent A passionate and heavily researched account of the case against the cyber-utopians ... only by becoming "cyber-realists" can we hope to make humane and effective policy. -- Bryan Appleyard New Statesman Evgeny Morozov is wonderfully knowledgeable about the Internet-he seems to have studied every use of it, or every political use, in every country in the world (and to have read all the posts). And he is wonderfully sophisticated and tough-minded about politics. This is a rare combination, and it makes for a powerful argument against the latest versions of technological romanticism. His book should be required reading for every political activist who hopes to change the world on the Internet. Michael Walzer, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton The Net Delusion is considerably more than an assault on political rhetoric ... a war against complacency. -- Tom Chatfield Observer Required reading for all ... a compelling primer and rebuff to the "cyber utopians" ... trenchant and persuasive. -- John Kampfner Sunday Times Lively and combative ... dauntingly well-informed ... injects a welcome dose of common sense into an issue that has been absurdly lacking in it. -- John Preston Sunday Telegraph Piercing...convincing...timely. -- Ben Hammersley Financial Times [M]ore than rewards a respectful reading, not only for the author's impressive knowledge of the internet toolbox...but because of his ability to relate such technological gadgetry to the increasing challenges that are being posed to entrenched authoritarianism -- James M Murphy Times Literary Supplement Selected by the New York Times as one of the 100 Notable Books of 2011 New York Times

After a long application process, Knoxville has been named as a finalist for the Mayor's Challenge award.
Bloomberg philanthropies narrowed down their search to 20 cities including Chicago, Philadelphia and Knoxville. If Knoxville wins the award, they will receive $5 million to be used for an "innovative idea."
Mayor Rogero wants to use the money to create urban food corridors all around Knoxville. These corridors would lease vacant city land to farmers to grow food that could be sold around the city.
If this happens, the city hopes their hard work will help other cities eliminate their own food deserts.
"What we would have is a gift for the rest of the country basically to say okay, we've worked through all of the nastiness and the mess and the regulations, and we've troubleshot and we've figured this out and now here's a package of what you need from a legislation standpoint, here's what a budget would look like, here's how this could happen in your city," said Susanna Sutherland, the director of the Office of Sustainability.
Knoxville's proposal is also listed on huffingtonpost.com. There you can vote for Knoxville as a "fan favorite."

Honestly, there's nothing you can't do – besides Kate Bosworth – right. You are perfection glued to a 8 foot tall frame (JK, he's only 6 foot 4). You are the light at the end of our tunnel.

I love corsets, who doesn't? However they're far from cheap, especially if you're buying a high-quality, steel-boned version which can cost well into the hundreds. I have forked out for a luxury corset and I'm considering buying my second, but at these prices I like to feel like I'm getting my money's worth.
Corsets by Esty Lingerie
You can already wear a corset in one of two ways – as a lingerie garment or an outerwear one – but wouldn't it be great if you could customise your corset (without making any permanent changes or damage of course!) and wearing it four, five or even six different ways?
For all the corset-lovers out there who'd like to get more options for their money, here are 4 ways to customise your corset…
1. Lacing
The 1 'removable' part that all corsets have is lacing. On fashion corsets this is often made from satin ribbon but on corsets suitable for tight-lacing it needs to be strong so woven cord is often used. Ribbon and cord are both incredibly cheap to buy on eBay or at your local haberdashery, and are a great way to customise your corset each time you wear it.
Just imagine how different a black satin corset looks with black lacing and an all-black lingerie emsenble, to the same black corset worn with blue, pink, red or even yellow knickers and matching lacing up the back?
In fact, you could even thread a thin chain through your corset for a look that's completely unique!
2. Suspenders
Many corsets come with detachable suspenders (a few come with attached suspenders but it's pretty rare, since it makes it more difficult to wear the corset as outerwear), so investing in some replacement suspenders is another way to change up your look.
Again, you can experiment with different colours or just find some more luxurious ones than those the corset came with, such as ruched satin or suspenders topped with crystals, bows and beads.
If your corset doesn't have detachable suspenders, they're actually pretty easy to make and all you need to do is sew elastic loops onto the lining of your corset to attach them to when you want to wear them.
3. Harness
Harnesses are super popular right now, both as lingerie and outerwear. Whether you prefer elastic harnesses like this one or leather ones like this one and this absolutely beautiful one by Hopeless Lingerie, they can be layered over corsets just as well as any other clothing.
Many corsets are strapless, and those with straps are usually bra-style shoulder straps, so a harness with a choker or halter strap creates a unique silhouette.
4. Belt
Corsets are designed to accentuate and narrow your waist, especially premium quality ones, so what better accessory than a waist belt which does exactly the same thing? It's well known that adding a belt to the waist of your dress creates a more nipped-in waist, and the same is true when worn over a corset – it will make your reduced waistline look even tinier!
However, you shouldn't wear a tight belt over a corset that's tightly-laced because it could damage the boning, so unless you're wearing a fashion corset with very flexible plastic bones it's better to tie a wide silk or satin ribbon around the waist instead.
I hope you found these ideas useful. If you'd like to know more about corsetry, you can find out pretty much everything you want to in my Ultimate Guide to Corsets!
Have any more ideas on how to customise your corsetry? I'd love to hear them, let me know in the comments below.

Chili with Beans Recipe:
Hi I'm Betty and welcome to Betty's kitchen. Today I'm making Betty's family favorite chili. My husband and I have been making chili for the almost forty years that we have been married and actually my husband was the first one of us to make chili. He was studying to be a lawyer at the time not to be a chef and it took him all day to make the chili then I was off teaching mathematics and coming home from a job on a cold day it was really great to have that chili made.
Over the years we've adopted our recipe to the part where you would not recognize that it was the original chili that my husband made. So I'm going to show you the chili that I've made for the last several years after getting it refined to a point where I think I can't do any better. I want to show you that chili.
So it starts with, actually this is hard but browning some ground beef but I think for the efficiency of this demonstration I'm going to start by using my large pot and emptying out these containers which have pinto beans, there are four of them that are pinto beans, this will be approximately 16 to 15-ounces, something like that and then one container of refried beans. The reason for doing that is that it gives some thickness to the chili, you don't have to mash down the beans in order to get that thickness. It will cook a long time so just normally it will thicken up but this helps a little bit.
Also I'm not really big on putting a lot of tomato sauce in chili. It's just my own personal taste and you might feel differently about it but I have a small can here of tomato sauce and I really only use one half of it. But I do a lot of tasting during the day and if I think hmm, that could use a little more tomato sauce, I go ahead and put it in. so let's start filling this and we'll have that heating while we're doing the browning of the ground beef. So I have my first can of pinto beans.
With that, actually one more, try to get it half way. And this might stick and burn if I didn't add some water so I'm going to start with two cups of water add it in here and that's not the final say on the water because typically during the day, if it cooks down and looks a little bit dry and not quite soupy enough, then I'll add more water but I'll keep you informed as we finish this recipe as to how much water is used but I want a nice amount at the beginning so I can feel free to put this on the stove and let it cook nicely and not worry about it going dry on me before I get the other ingredients added to it.
So let's turn around it nicely everything is blended, let me move it over here turn on the heat and I'll just leave that spoon in there for now later on probably I'll just set the spoon aside but I'll keep it handy in order to stir it occasionally. What I have here are two pounds of lean ground beef, you might like the taste better if you used just a regular hamburger or something that is more fatter than this but I'm always fat conscious so I'm making mine with lean ground beef, it's four percent fat, and I'm putting two pounds in to a deep skillet. It's kind of a wok style skillet and this, do need to be salted before they are cooked so I'm going to use one teaspoon per pound so that's one teaspoon for the first pound and one teaspoon for the second pound.
And I'll be stirring that all together so that I can incorporate and I'll show you how to start getting these separated out because it's really kind of important. Let me start browning these over in the oven and I'll see that in few minutes.
The ground beef is all cooked and ready, you can see it did give a little bit of juice but it does not look fatty, it's not like it has a lot of fat on the top so I'm going to actually keep that because I'll be adding my spices and my onions in here and I think that it will be nice to absorb all of that. You can see that the bean mixture is nice and bubbly back here, it's ready to receive what I finish with on my ground beef mixture, I have the too medium onions setting out and I used an electric kitchen chopper just a small chopper to get these finely chopped, they're not extremely finely chopped but since you like that, so we add those and there's one thing that I forgot to tell you about and I'll write it here again, it is chopped garlic and that's one of the important parts of the flavoring here.
So we're going to open this and let me see if I can find the spoon or a fork, so used a good amount here and I used just the can minced garlic, that's about one teaspoonful, and so now the teaspoonful. So at least that much and I might adjust later on. I think actually, I'll put it like another teaspoonful, probably three teaspoonfuls of garlic for the amount of the chili I'm making today which is quite a lot, three teaspoonfuls of minced garlic. Now we want to keep stirring this in the pan It just stick and likewise these as if bubbling, should be start occasionally otherwise there might be a ring around the bottom where it's stuck and it might turn brown and it might flavor the chili in a way that you don't want.
So we'll be stirring that around but I'll have some additives. I talked about the chili powders and I have four of them. You might wonder why I use four of them, it doesn't matter what brand they are but I use one tablespoon of each one to get started, that doesn't mean that's all I will add, I will taste it and maybe make adjustments so I have put one table spoon of each one of these in to this container it's going to go in to the meat mixture. And the reason we're doing this is that if you look at the ingredients on chili powder, they vary from one brand to another. So if you want to get a really good blend of flavors try more than one brand.
Then we have one teaspoon of cumin, it's a great spots to use for Mexican salad foods, great for chili adds a subtle hint of flavor. And then the last thing, I wait on this until I get these combined, so I'm going to just cook this for a minute, come back and combine it add the brown sugar and then It'll be ready to cook all these.
I've been cooking and staring around on meat mixture for about ten minutes and everything is all blended and that juice that was left has soaked up all of those flavors. So it's kind of nice to have the low fat ground beef so that you a little bit of juice that comes out but it's not fat. It might have a little bit of fat in it but not much. I'm turning that off and then I combine with my bean mixture so on the fact burner the stove I've got that combined and then I mentioned my last ingredient I add at the very end and that is one quarter cup of brown sugar. This just gives it a little unusual flavor that people always comment on and think, well that's a little bit different but it is and we enjoy it a lot. So you can also adjust on the amount that you want. Now this looks pretty thick to me so I think I'm going to add two mare cups of water, so as I go away, I'm just telling you, I'm going to add two cups of water and just let this sit on the back burner, I'll come and stir it occasionally it will cook four to six hours. And I will be back to show you the end result.
Cook the chili for four hours; I did add two cups of water into the chili about two hours into the cooking. You can see the texture that it has. This is about the thickness that you want to end up with and the force of cooking allows all those flavors to blend. So I'm just going to serve this up in to sort of mug like cup and if you like more sauce and lift down and get more sauce if you like more of the bean and meat mixture then you can do that. So we have a nice serving of steamy hot chili. I like to serve it with sharp cheese sliced and saltine crackers, nice and crisp and fresh. So I take a few on a plate and I take my mug of chili and lot's of ice water to come dress with the chili and it's a great meal for a snowy winter day.

I have a report in SSRS that contains 12 subreports. After each subreport, I need to insert a page break so that each subreport starts on a new page and doesn't share pages with the other subreports. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks
I found an answer. Use a Rectangle at the bottom of each SubReport after all Tablixes and other rendering Objects. Then set its "PageBreak" property to "End". When the SubReport is finished with the Tablix and/or other data objects, the Rectangle forces a page break. Also, a cool feature, if the SubReport returns no rows of data, the page break is not rendered. Therefore, no extra page breaks
Another solution would be to have the subreports placed inside the rectangles. I would imagine this would help you to better control and organize the layout of the report.
I tried the other answer here but my master report is driven by a dataset so did'nt quite work out. This is how i got it to work for me :
1) I put the subreports into different rows on top of same size rectangles inside a Tablix with all the rows belonging to the same row group.
2) I then selected properties of the group, then pagebreak and checked the property pagebreak on between each instance of group.
I came across the same kind of issue but I was able to overcome by below mentioned way. I created a sub report and placed rectangle inside the sub report (page break option checked before) and placed all my sub report content inside the rectangle. This page break works only if the sub report renders any data if not they will be no page break.

SCRANTON — A big side effect of the water outage: homes throughout south Scranton and Moosic are starting to lose their heat.
On top of water worries, homeowners with steam heat now have to call plumbing and heating experts to get it back on again.
Water buffaloes are busy throughout south Scranton and Moosic as thousands of people learn what life is like in a home without water.
"Tough, tough, tough, the toilet facility is the worst thing. The water you can get away with," said Tom Andrejack of Scranton.
While a lot of people are worried about water for their toilets and other needs at home, a lot of the houses in south Scranton have steam heat. That needs water too.
"The water should be up to this high and that's the reason why it's off."
Workers from Gerald Smurl Mechanical were at a home in south Scranton because the steam boiler shut off when there was no water to feed the system.
Dave Sibio and Chris Lynch have been at a lot of houses with the same problem: no heat.
"Oh, it's been crazy. People haven't had water, so the boilers have been running out of water and we've just been coming to fill them up for them" said Lynch.
"Last night i went out on a couple, I was out until midnight. Last night there was a few of them. This morning there has been a lot more," added Sibio.
They're filling the boilers with enough water, hoping to get them through the water outage. Unless you know what you're doing, they recommend you call an expert to do this.
They also have a recommendation for those with steam heat.
"The more that it runs, the higher you keep the temperature, the more water it uses. Being warmer outside kind of helps a little bit and maybe lowering your thermostat a little bit will help you conserve a little bit of water," Sibio explained.
Experts recommend you turn down the temperature on natural gas water heaters and turn off electric water heaters during the outage.
If your home heating is a closed hot water baseboard system, you should be fine.
That includes Bill Uher. He just needs water for other needs.
"As long as it stays where it's supposed to, we're good. If it gets too high or too low, I'll shut it down."

Professor Dr. Claus Bartram, dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Heidelberg (left), presents a Medal of the Faculty to alumnus Bart Barlogie, M.D., Ph.D., director of the UAMS Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy, in honor of his life's work in treating multiple myeloma.
Sept. 19, 2013 | The University of Heidelberg in Germany presented a Medal of the Faculty to alumnus and internationally known multiple myeloma pioneer Bart Barlogie, M.D., Ph.D., this summer, honoring his life's work.
Barlogie, founding director of the UAMS Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy and a professor in the UAMS College of Medicine, received the medal during a July ceremony at an international symposium hosted at the university where he graduated in 1969. The topic of the symposium was the use of stem cell transplantation for disease treatment — a technique Barlogie led the way in using for treating multiple myeloma.
In a note about the Stem Cells in Development and Disease conference, Anthony D. Ho, M.D., chair and professor of the Department of Medicine at the University of Heidelberg, termed Barlogie's "enormous" contribution to the science of stem cell transplantation.
"I'm honored by this gesture from my friends and colleagues at the University of Heidelberg," Barlogie said. "It is nice to revisit this place that helped form my thinking and career path, ultimately leading me to Arkansas and the Myeloma Institute."
The UAMS institute has had a relentless dedication to cure multiple myeloma since Barlogie arrived at UAMS in 1989, a time when the median survival for myeloma patients was only 30 months. Today's median survival figures for patients treated at the Myeloma Institute exceed 10 years.
Barlogie credited blood stem cell transplants as a major factor in helping multiple myeloma patients at UAMS. "The transplants are a vital part of our total therapy treatment protocol," he said in 2007 when the institute passed the 7,000 mark for transplant procedures.
The stem cells are typically collected from the patient at the outset of treatment and then given back as a transfusion to promote recovery of the bone marrow following high-dose chemotherapy. Stem cell transplantation has led to higher survival and remission rates for those patients with multiple myeloma.
The medal from his alma mater is only the latest honor for Barlogie, who in 2006 was named a National Physician of the Year by the organization responsible for the America's Top Doctors publication. In 2004, he received the Robert A. Kyle Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Myeloma Foundation.

Fossil fuel (oil) is a finite resource which has caused harm to humans and the environment such as oil spills, contaminated groundwater, global warming, and even war. This finite resource will eventually be depleted. The consumption of energy in the United States is double what the country produces and energy use is expected to increase at a rate of 6 to 8% annually by 2010.
Alternatives to fossil fuel include traditional renewables like solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric power, biomass energy, hydrogen and fuel cells, and geothermal power. Also, new energy sources are being researched such as cold fusion, zero point energy, magnetics, and gravitics. However, not all of these alternatives to fossil fuel have been fully developed and most importantly not all of them are environmentally friendly. There are three sources of "green" energy that are available for common use today. They are solar, wind, and geothermal energy.
