I originally purchased this magazine for the coupons. Over my two year subscription, I've found that it's not really worth it. However, it is a good read. It has nice budgeting tips and creative ideas, inspiring stories and in every issue, I've found one good coupon that I can use.

I am an avid reader, but I don't buy All You for it's reading content, I buy it for the plethora of coupons included in every issue. Couponing is a hobby I started about a year ago, I have saved hundreds of dollars so far and this magazine is one crucial part of my overall money saving strategy.
- Delicious recipes
- Interesting stories
- Lots of coupons
Best Uses
I am a couponer, and one of the first things I did when I started couponing was subscribe to All You. There are lots of great coupons included, but there are also delicious recipes, interesting stories about regular individuals, beauty tips, and more. I really enjoy this magazine and not just for the coupons!
One of the best magazines for a couponer. Great savings in every issue.
Couponing articles are great source. Some of the coupons are great, some are not any better than circular coupons which isn't so great since you've paid for this magazine.

All You Magazine Subscription Review
If you're anything like me than you are always on the lookout for a great deal. One of my go-to resources for finding deals each month is my "All You" magazine subscription. "All You" magazine is a great source for practical, everyday advice for the value-conscious woman. This magazine is jam-packed with budget-conscious articles for my home and my everyday life. Want to learn how to wear $50 worth of clothes all week to work and how to feed a family of four for less than $3.00 a day? Yes, it can actually be done and "All You" can show you exactly how to do it.
I originally subscribed to the magazine because I heard each issue was loaded with great coupons. Every cent adds up and I am all about saving money these days. I was pleasantly surprised with the coupons I found in each issue, for things like cosmetics, clothing, food, drinks, household products, and so much more. The magazine practically pays for itself every month. In addition to the coupons, I've also come to love the recipes. I love to cook and am always looking for new ideas. The recipes are always quick and easy for busy women like myself.
A subscription to "All You" magazine is perfect for the bargain hunting, budget conscious individual that is constantly on the go. If that fits your interests and personality then take a peek at the everyday low-price offers we have at Magazines.com. Our subscription deals for "All You" are aimed to help you get more for less, just like the magazine.
Thanks for stopping by!

PCI-DSS Compliance
Lyons Commercial Data PCI-DSS compliance

The standard evolved as the major credit card brands American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc. Inc. International, joined together to develop a set of consistent data security standards on a global basis.
Who is covered by PCI requirements
PCI standard applies to all card merchants and service providers that store, process or transmit cardholder data. The level of scrutiny for processors is particularly high.

As a subsidiary of Autoscribe, Lyons Information Security Program complies with the PCI DSS, and is audited annually by a Qualified Data Security Assessor certified by Visa to perform such audits.
On-site assessments insure compliance
There are three levels of PCI-DSS compliance. Level 1 is the highest level of compliance imposing the most stringent data security requirements upon service providers and payment gateway providers. On-going best practices are enforced by quarterly network security scans and annual on-site PCI Data Security assessments performed by a third-party Qualified Security Assessor. Autoscribe and its subsidiaries, PaymentVision and Lyons Commercial Data, are Service Providers Level 1.
Download the current list of PCI-DSS compliant service providers from the VISA site.

B&B on Broadway
Editor's Review
B&B on Broadway is one of the newest players to enter the lodging market in Decorah, Iowa. Opened in 2006, the three-story inn maintains its original Victorian charm but has plenty of updates. Guests can stay in one of four standard rooms on the second floor. The rooms are small but each features a deluxe bathroom complete with massaging showerhead. Tastefully placed period antiques decorate the rooms. Room rates range from $70 to $110, depending on season. The Royale Suite takes up the entire third floor and includes a sitting area with a widescreen HD-TV, a kitchenette, a king bed and a reading nook in the turret. The bathroom has a Jacuzzi bathtub as well as a stand-up shower that serves as a sauna with an aromatherapy unit. Rates range seasonally from $100 to $165. Your stay includes a gourmet breakfast ranging from hearty egg casseroles to caramel French toast, with specialty flavored coffees. Each guest also gets a big, comfy bathrobe, which we thought was a nice touch. Built by a Norwegian immigrant 1910, the home was constructed entirely of durable firebrick, which accounts for how well it has aged. A three-story turret with a witches' hat roof is the home's dominating feature.

Under sunny skies and picture perfect weather, the University of Miami began spring practice this weekend.
The focus of the weekend practice was on quarterbacks and offensive sets. Quarterbacks practices three-step drops, two minute drills and third down situations.
"I think (today's energy) is a tribute to our strength staff because they were able to recover (from Saturday) quickly and get a lot done today." Head Coach Al Golden said. "It was a lot of football today. The kids did a great job responding."
Miami's spring practice continues Tuesday at GreenTree Practice Fields.
Other state universities begin spring practice later this month. UF and UCF begin on March 13th, FSU starts on the 20th.

By C.J. McMANUSSun Advocate reporter
A Price man is recovering at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center from head and neck injuries sustained during a hunting accident in Central Utah.
TJ Cartwright, 23, was struck with an arrow in the cheek while hunting deer with three companions, including his fiancée, Lillian Rowley. According to the Juab County Sheriff's department, the accident, which occurred on private property in Levan, was called in to public safety officials at 6:29 a.m. Saturday.
According to Rowley, Cartwright was taking video ahead of the hunting party when a buck began making its way across the field. As the hunters began positioning themselves to take a shot, Cartwright inadvertently ended up between the archer and the target. As the shooter, whose bow was drawn, attempted to throw the shot away, the arrow accidentally released. Cartwright stood and was hit.
With the arrow head lodged near his carotid artery, Cartwright began walking with one of his hunting partners until they obtained cell reception. After calling 911, Cartwright was located by Juab County medial technicians, who stabilized him for transport.
Cartwright was taken to the Nephi Medical Center where a tracheotomy was performed and the arrow was cut down. After determining the severity of his injuries, medical personnel decided to fly the victim to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.
Cartwright's injuries were complicated because he was shot with a Rage Broadhead, an expandable arrow head which deploys its razor-sharp tips upon impact. After four hours of tests at Utah Valley, medical personnel determined that only two of the arrow's blades had deployed. The third did not activate and was resting on his carotid artery.
"They were worried about the surgery and none of the surgeons knew anything about these Rage Broadheads," said Cartwright's future mother-in-law Becky Archibald. "They sent somebody to Sportsman's to buy one, so the ear, nose and throat specialist, could work with it before going in. They needed to know the mobility and functionality of that arrow head."
According to Rowley, Utah Valley surgeons worked for more than eight hours, cutting through Cartwright's chin on his right jaw bone making a U-turn up behind his right ear. After gaining access, surgeons could see a portion of the broad head but could not remove it because of bone tissue in the way.
Surgeons then removed a piece of bone from behind Cartwright's ear, and were able to extract the blades. Doctors then pushed the rest of the arrow through the back of his head. As those operating gained a full view, they discovered that the arrow had stopped right between Cartwright's skull and the top of his spine.
"Even though he is doing well, he has a long way to go in his recovery," said Rowley. "We appreciate all the prayers and kind words we have received and would ask that they continue."
After more than 12 hours of procedure and 22 pints of blood, Cartwright left the operating room with no damage to his carotid artery.
The victim was sedated until Monday morning, when he awoke and was able to blink his eyes, wiggle his fingers and toes and recognize the voices of his father and fiance.
"As of right now, everything looks very good and he is doing very well," said Archibald. "Additionally, Lillian is determined that her wedding will happen on Sept. 14, even if it does happen next to Cartwright's hospital bed."
Several of the victims friends are setting up fundraisers for Cartwright and his family. Additionally, the USU Eastern Sun Center has begun planning a blood drive for the victim.

As a den leader or pack committee member, are you confused by many different monthly Core Values and themes? Look for help at your roundtable, but what's a roundtable? Well, be confused no more as Assistant Council Commissioner Cheri Pepka of the Chief Seattle Council explains implementing the Core Values and monthly themes fun and the joys of participating in roundtable.
Welcome to the new ScoutCast for Scout leaders and parents! This series of monthly podcasts is designed to bring you topics that you might not feel comfortable talking about at roundtable meetings (but should). Perhaps these episodes will give you talking points for your meeting.
So please join hosts J.D. Owen, editor-in-chief of Boys' Life and Scouting magazines; Paula Murphey, senior editor of Boys' Life; and our very special guest for this first Scoutcast, New York Times best-selling author of 26 books, including The Wonder of Boys and Leadership and the Sexes, Michael Gurian as they discuss the best ways to handle bullying in your troop.
Financial Assistance Request
United Way of Lackawanna & Wayne Counties
The United Way of Lackawanna & Wayne Counties, the Susquehanna County United Way and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council have collaborated to help serve low income youth and their families from Lackawanna, Wayne and Susquehanna Counties. These Scouts are faced with a special financial challenge.
The Scoutmaster, Cubmaster or Venturing Crew Advisor of the packs, troops and crews based in these counties are in the best position to have knowledge of Scouts and families in the Unit who are most in need of assistance. By working through the Scoutmaster, Cubmaster or Crew Advisor, this will help identify any needs more accurately and readily. This practice is not meant however to exclude parents or other leaders from directly applying for financial assistance, as long as requirements are met.
These United Ways have targeted specific needs-based funds to be utilized in Lackawanna, Wayne, and Susquehanna Counties to serve youth and families in need. These funds may be requested to supplement a variety of Scouting related purposes which may include, but are not limited to: registration fees, uniforms, insignia, badges, handbooks, activities, special trips, educational programs, and other related Scouting expenses. The NEPA Council will subsidize 70% of these expenses, and the Scout's family or Unit will need to cover 30% of these costs. Should your son need a Campership to attend an NEPA council operated summer camp, requests are to be made separately using a Campership Request Form. This form is available at the Scout Service and Training Center or can be found on the council website at www.nepabsa.org. Campership requests are due by May 1 and will typically cover up to 50% of the fees.
United Way funds are limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Requests for needs-based assistance will be honored only when the Scout and his parent fill out either the form on the back of this sheet and/or the Campership Request Form (which can be requested separately). In both cases, documentation of public assistance must be attached. If the United Way funding is exhausted for that particular year, the Council will continue to honor needs-based requests as funds are made available.
It's Rechartering Time. You can save a lot of time and help ensure your charter is accurate by submitting your charter ONLINE. Once complete, you'll print our your signature page which you will submit to the Scout Service Center with the appropriate signatures.
Internet Rechartering allows you to renew your unit's charter online and perform the following actions:
Before beginning Internet Rechartering, collect all member information, including new member forms with the appropriate signatures. To complete the process, you must be connected to a printer to print the final report for signature.
To enter the Internet Rechartering site, CLICK HERE! You must use Internet Explorer to use the online system.

CrockPot Borscht Recipe
Day 364.
Good morning! I made borscht yesterday. I found a recipe in the January/February 2008 edition of Cooking Light, and changed it up a bit to work in the crockpot, and I am happy with the results. Since I've never had any other borscht, I don't really have anything to compare it to, but it was mild and tasty. I'd think of it more as a starter than a full meal. Wikipedia says that sometimes people add meat. Adam would have liked that----he dug around a bit trying to find some. Cooking Light didn't tell me I could have added meat...
The Ingredients.
--8 beets, peeled and sliced (wear old clothes! beets stain!)
--1 yellow onion, chopped
--1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
--1 1/2 cups chopped celery
--1/2 cup chopped carrot
--1 cup chopped parsnip
--1 potato, peeled and chopped
--2 1/2 cups shredded red cabbage
--3 cloves garlic, minced
--1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
--2 T apple cider vinegar
--1/2 cup beer (Redbridge is gluten free)
--5 cups water
--2 tsp sugar
--1 tsp kosher salt
--1/4 tsp black pepper
--1 T dill
--sour cream (at least 2 T per family member)
The Directions.
Use a 6 quart or larger crockpot. Coarsely chop vegetables and add to crockpot. You're going to blend the soup, so don't worry too much about how the veggies look.
After everything is chopped and thrown in, add the spices, vinegar, beer, and water.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-6. You want the vegetables fully smooshy so you can blend them easily.
Carefully (and wearing OLD clothes cuz of the beets-staining-thing) use an immersible blender to soupify. Ladle into bowls and top with a generous dollop of sour cream.
The Verdict.
Borscht is good. It's got to be incredibly healthy due to all of the vegetables in there---Cooking Light says it serves 8 with 164 calories a bowl.
It is red. Very, very red. It looked like raspberry jam to me---and that's what I thought of when I while I was eating it (it doesn't taste like raspberry jam. It tastes like vegetable soup made with beets). The kids were asleep by the time the soup was done and didn't taste any. I don't know if I'm going to be able to talk them into it. They're still kind of crabby from getting over colds.
The guinea pigs were thrilled to eat all of the beet stems.

Borscht is good stuff, we serve it cold but our Polish neighbor says that she grew up eating hot.
This recipe is different than mine and seems much healthier (mine is from a 1970s cookbook) so I am going to do yours next time I cook borscht.

Borscht has quieted the crowd!
Very brave of you to try something so international. I'm really glad it turned out so well.
Do you think it would taste ok with some meat? If so, what type?
Have a great day! Thank you for another great recipe!!!

As wonderful as this is on a cold winter night, vegetarian borcht is even more wonderful served chilled on a hot summer's night wiith a sprinkling of fresh dill and sour cream. Indeed, the crock pot is even more handy in summer when you don't want to heat up the kitchen. Actually, sometimes I like to just shread the beets using my Cuisinart grating attachment oprior to cooking instead of puree. My only challenge is finding beets in bulk - the ones attached to the greens are way to pricey.

Thanks so much for this excellent resource. I've made the buffalo chicken dip and the Cranberry cinnamon hot punch thing. So very good!

I'm surprised to see these comments from people eating borscht cold. My family has always eaten it hot. My vegetarian father makes his version with chunks of veggie Italian sausage in it, which has a good complementary flavor. Of course, he doesn't make his in a crockpot, and he uses canned beets. Anyway, hooray borscht. :)

I love borscht and haven't had it for a while. I've had it with bacon, and it's really good that way. Cold borscht in the summer is usually just beets and yogurt or milk with dill (or that's how I've made it). I'm going to make some of this for New Years Day.
- December 29, 2008 at 10:34 AM
We've always eaten our borscht hot (with a dollop of sour cream and a bit of dill.) Before I became a vegetarian, I used my grandmother's recipe as is, starting with half a pound of stew meat (usually beef). Such a great soup. I'm sorry I hadn't thought to move it to a slow cooker: the meat would be so much more tender.
(It's been 17 years since I've eaten borscht with stew meat, and posting about it makes drool a little.)

I was going to try some borscht in the slow cooker this week but then I chickened out! Maybe I will try your recipe next week. My in-law have always used ribs in theirs - boiled them to make a broth and then picked out the bones. Not that healthy, but really good.

Beet borscht is really good with bits of shredded pork too--and sour cream and dill, of course! I also shred my veggies instead of pureeing.
I grew up in a community with a large Ukrainian population and have had some incredible borscht.

I grew up eating bowls of cold borscht. I liked to mash the sour cream around so the soup was pink and each spoonful has some sour cream. I was easily amused as a child.
We always had our borscht with cheese blintzes. My grandma made the best that I have ever tasted. I miss her(and her cooking) so much.
I would like to try your recipe, but my husband and daughter wouldn't eat it. They are rather good eaters, but still pickier than I.

I have a thing against beets. They just don't agree with me and they stain everything. I'm not okay with that.
But what I AM okay with is your fantabulous (yes, I said fantabulous)wisdom in knowing that some dish detergent and a fabric softener sheet would do magical things to cement-like burned BBQ sauce.
Seriously. You are amazing.
You should, however, seen the look on my husband's face when he came home and looked in the pot, expecting roast (we had mini-hotdogs and cheese and crackers at a friend's house instead).
It was hilarious!
But my crock-pot is clean, and just in time for a roast tomorrow. With crock-pot liners.

- December 29, 2008 at 1:51 PM
My DH is Polish and his mom makes the most wonderful Borscht. It's hot, and not chunky. More like the stuff you get in the jar in the kosher foods section of the grocery store. It must be vegetarian because they serve it on Christmas Eve and Easter (no meat, fish only).
We always put mini perogis in the soup at the table. Mushroom or saurkraut perogis. Yum. I think I just drooled.

Yum, Borscht! I learned how to make it from my adopted sister who is from Belarus. They eat it hot there, and they put meat in it when there's meat to be had.
I think that there tons of Borscht recipes out there, and some folks get downright insulted when you make Borscht different from how they do (people tend to throw the word "authentic" around a lot, as in, "my recipe is authentic. . .", etc. I get the impression that it's the equivalent of chicken noodle soup here -- common home cooking with many family recipes available.
My sister's recipe uses chicken -- beef was always too expensive for her family. And she says that they eat it with black bread -- it's a really dark, dark bread that's hard to find in the U.S.
Sorry to ramble, but your post has me missing my sister! (But I DON'T miss grating the beets for the soup. What a mess!).

Just two days left in this year of crock potting for you. How sad this is for me and many (most if not all) of your readers.
I've never had Borscht before but you make me Want To.
Your daily email is going to be missed in my household.
Good Luck in the next year.
- December 29, 2008 at 7:21 PM
Borscht can be served hot and cold; I've had both. I prefer the grated beet and chopped veggie variety w/ a plop of sour cream. Meat can be added when it can be had. Never heard of tomatoes in the recipe or the borscht being pureed. I guess there is always a first. I've also made a white cabbage soup and a fish soup from a long lost Russian cookbook 35 yrs ago: something put out by Time/Life Books. Short on recipes but rich in photos and Russian lore.

Our grandmother was a little Polish lady who, by the time I was 14, I could see the top of her head, she was so tiny. But don't let her size make you think you didn't do what she said you had to do!
She made Borscht for Easter and it was white, not beet red. However, next time you make this borscht, try it her way by adding some prepared horseradish to it. Add some while it is cooking and then have some horseradish in a bowl on the table with toasted bread cubes. You will never go back to the original recipe. "I gar-on- tee!" (Thanks to Justin Wilson for his word pronunciation on guarantee!)
My best to you for 2009, and, I too will miss your daily loveletter in my inbox. I do hope that these will be archived, as I haven't had a chance to go back to the recipes posted before I got online from the Rachael Ray show. Please let us know that they will be archived so we can go back and learn more crockpotting recipes and perhaps springboard from them.

I got my borcht recipe from a high school friend's stepfather who was from the Ukraine. Not sure how 'authentic' it was. The 'secret' ingredient they used was ketchup.
They used stew meat and grated the veggies rather than pureeing them.
- December 30, 2008 at 10:01 AM
My Polish grandmother made Borscht all the time. She never blended it though. She just sliced the beets very thinly. We ate it warm, but the best thing was she served it over mashed potatoes to thicken it up. Yum!!! She sometimes made it with stew meat too.

Responding to Robs comment, we also only ate Borscht cold. Are recipe would of come from the Germans in Russia. We made it only in the summer with fresh vegetables from the garden. Beets, potatoes, carrots, onions and peas fresh dill in the soup, with alot of vinegar! Then you had to have it with sour cream. We never put meat in it but I have eaten it that way. So YEAH to the sour cream and dill.

If you want it less red, you can mix the red beets with golden beets, or make the borscht with all golden beets. It tones the color down, and still tastes really yummy.
- January 2, 2009 at 5:08 PM
My favorite deli serves "a bowl of borscht with the works" -- cold borscht garnished with a whole peeled boiled potato, chopped hard-boiled egg, chopped raw onion, chopped peeled cucumber, and sour cream.
- January 5, 2009 at 7:29 AM
I will definitely try it. It is usually made with meat (I am Russian, I should know:)) But we are flexitarians (mainly vegetarians, with some animal protein once in a blue moon), so I will make it without the meat.
- January 11, 2009 at 5:26 AM
To CeeJay, Your grandma's borscht was white because it was not borscht at all , but schee/schi(not sure how to spell it). It is made with cabbage, and becomes borscht when beets are added.
- January 11, 2009 at 5:32 AM
Interesting blog! I found your site while looking for (another) good borscht recipe. I recently adopted 2 children from Russia and they really miss their cuisine. I have used a recipe from "epicurious" and it was delicious and the kids loved it...I used sirloin tips for the meat in it...and chopped the vegetables chunky.
- February 12, 2009 at 1:05 PM
I'm Russian. I guess, everybody puts in the borscht whatever they have. Since tomatoes grow well in Ukraine, they add tomatoes to their's. In Russia it is usually made without tomatoes. My family has a humble background, so there is no beer, celery or sugar in it. In summer my mother makes a soup with just the greens of the beets in it instead (however, it is not called "borscht").

When I was little my mom would add boiled diced potatoes and a tablespoon of sour cream to our borscht. I just received 12 beets from our co-op this morning and steamed them all because my family doesn't care for them. I'm happily sitting in front of the computer right now enjoying one all by myself. I love your blog.
- December 18, 2010 at 1:35 PM
I've recently made the attached Beef Borscht.
I browned the beef prior for one episode and
followed the directions to a "T" for the other one. They both worked.
This would be great in a crock pot. When I make it again, and I will, I will use the crock. (I would imagine cooking would be 6-8 hours in order for the meat to be tender)
Here's the link:
Oh and don't throw away those beet greens. Saute them with evoo and garlic. Superb and very healthy.

I add precooked hamburger to my borscht so that my husband knows he's had a "real" meal. It's very good. We love beet tops too. I saute them in olive oil, and sprinkle onion power and galic salt, and pepper to taste. YUM...

But if you're seeking to track down some numbers – say commodity data from the National Agricultural Statistics Service – you'll have to wait a little bit longer. Attempting to access pages such as "NASS Publications" and "Quick Stats" early Thursday still returned a message about the site's unavailability because of the earlier lapse in funding. USDA's reply: Bear with us. "President Obama has signed into law a continuing resolution that has ended the recent lapse in government funding," a message posted to the top of USDA's website states. "Please allow some time as we work to bring USDA websites back to normal operations." Click here to read more about the end of the shutdown. Back to news

LINCOLN – A crowd of players engulfed the craps table as dealer Sam Hasney announced the cutoff for more bets.
"Bets set," he said. "Shooter's looking for four. Four wins."
"C'mon Nick," somebody cheered as an oversized pair of red dice tumbled across the green felt pit of the craps deck.
This might have looked like gambling, but it was really a scene from the training room of Twin River as the sea of slots prepares to morph into a full-fledged casino with Las Vegas-style table games this summer. Hasney, who is normally a floor manager, was the dealer du jour as he and other Twin River workers practiced with fake chips to get ready for the big day.
Situated in the old cinderblock paddock where greyhound racers once waited for their chance to chase a mechanical rabbit, the rehearsal hall was one of the main exhibits Tuesday as Twin River executives allowed reporters to see how work is progressing on the table game makeover. When the $7 million remodeling project is done, about 12 percent of the facility's 160,000 square feet of gaming space, now devoted exclusively to mechanical slots, will go over to table games, according to John E. Taylor Jr., the chairman and chief executive officer of Twin River.
He said the casino will open with 65 tables for baccarat, craps, roulette and blackjack by July 1, if not a little sooner.
"Frankly there's been a lot of interest not only from the media but the people of Rhode Island who want to know where this was going," Taylor said. "It's become a bigger issue with Massachusetts on the horizon."
The first of five casinos could be opening in the Bay State as soon as late 2016. Taylor said Twin River is making plans to maintain its competitive edge by staying true to its identity as "a convenience casino" and encouraging customer loyalty.
For example, he said, along with the new table games, Twin River will debut a new VIP room for high rollers featuring buffet food, beverages and entertainment.
"What we have to do is make great relationships with our players so they want to come back," said Taylor. "Will there be impacts? Definitely there will be impacts to the state of Rhode Island."
Twin River sends 62 percent of all slot revenue to the state, a critical component of the state budget and a deal the facility portrays as one of the most generous in the industry. The state's take from gaming tables will be 18 percent, a figure Taylor said is still above the industry average of 12 percent.
The split is substantially lower because Twin River's overhead for running table games is far higher than that of slots, which are fully automated. Table games are labor intensive, requiring dealers to run the games and more security to keep an eye on players.
Craig Sculos, the vice president and general manager, said Twin River didn't just pick 65 out of thin air as the number of table games that was right to kick off the casino venture.
"Going big is not necessarily the way to go," he said. "We feel the 65 table games meet the current demand."
Though the number is fixed, Twin River still hasn't decided how the mix of baccarat, roulette, craps and blackjack tables will make up the total. The calculus, including the total number of games, could change if the casino feels it's warranted, and Taylor said it's possible that poker may be added in the future.
Taylor said Twin River will lose 214 slot machines to make way for table games – it will still have 4,538 – but Taylor said he didn't the casino will notice the loss of revenue after the advent of table games.
Reporters donned white hardhats and protective eyewear as Taylor and other casino executives led a half-dozen representatives of the media through the area that will house the table games. Cardboard cutouts were positioned on the fresh carpet to show where the tables will go.
Paul Tierney of Gilbane, Inc., the general contractor on the project, said roughly 45 workers a day, representing some two dozen subcontracting firms, all from Rhode Island, have been working at least 18-24 hours a day on the makeover. The project took off just days after voters in Lincoln and the state overwhelmingly approved separate referenda questions on the Nov. 6 ballot allowing Twin River to bring in table games. The dual approvals were required to change the state laws limiting the scope of Twin River's activities.
Taylor said 500 to 600 new employees, or the equivalent of about 300 full-time workers, would be needed to fill new jobs associated with table games, including positions in security, surveillance or table personnel. The first batch of newcomers is now in some phase of regulatory approval by the state regulators who oversee gaming, including the state police, the lottery commission and the department of business regulation.
Though roughly 19,000 square feet of the project will house table games, the total renovation involves roughly 115,000 square feet of remodeled space, which is closer to 25 percent of the entire casino, most of it involving areas patrons will never see. The work includes what the casino calls "back of the house" space where employees retrieve and cash chips, prepare food and do other chores. There's also a new freestanding facility on the south side of Twin River where state regulators from law enforcement and the lottery commission will be permanently housed with a few employees from the casino's human services department.
While forklifts grunted and power tools whirred in the construction zone, workers seemed to be having the most fun in the training room, where they were practicing for future roles in and around gaming tables.
It will take five workers to staff a craps table, including four dealers and the table supervisor, said Marcus Dobberfuhl, a casino shift manager.
"This is the hardest game to learn," he said. "Just because there's so much going on and there's close to a hundred different types of bets you can make."

The Berkey Secret
Have you ever wondered how Berkey purification systems remove
pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites while extracting chemicals including
herbicides, pesticides, organic solvents, VOCs, detergents, cloudiness, silt,
sediment, foul tastes and odors? Or, how Berkey systems are able to
reduce heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, aluminum
and other dangerous heavy metals without removing the healthful and beneficial
minerals that your body needs?And finally, how is this system able to
remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals
your body needs?The unique Berkey design combines the
age-old process of micro-porous filtration coupled with modern state-of-the-art
technology and the highest quality materials to bring you the finest water
purification system available anywhere. The micro-pores within the
self-sterilizing and re-cleanable Black Berkey purification elements
are so small that pathogenic bacteria are simply not able to pass through them.
The media within the elements remove contaminants by a surface phenomenon
known as "adsorption" which results from the molecular attraction of substances
to the surface of the media. The exclusive purification elements are also
impregnated with proprietary "absorbing" media that promote IONIC "absorption"
of pollutants within the micro-porous elements.
Another reason Berkey systems are so effective in removing
contaminants from water is the extremely long "contact period". Other
filtration systems rely on water pressure that forces water molecules through
the filter elements at 60-90 PSI. These water molecules come into contact with
the filter media for a mere fraction of a second. By comparison water
molecules, passing through the "Tortuous Path" structure of the Black
Berkey purification elements, are drawn gently by gravity and stay
in contact with the media for a long period of time. This allows the filter
media to be more efficient in capturing contaminates. For example, if you were
to hurl 100 steel ball bearings at a large magnet, some would stick but most
would bounce off. However, if you were to walk over and gently place the ball
bearings on the magnet most, if not all, would adhere to the magnet.
Berkey systems fully utilize this principle.
This advanced technology was developed, refined, and proven through years
of diligent, investigative research and testing performed by water purification
specialists, researchers and engineers. The flow rate or time of exposure
through the exclusive Black Berkey purification elements has been calculated to
yield the greatest volume removal of toxic chemicals and pathogenic bacteria
found in nature and caused by pollution from industry and agriculture.

BGA: The Expendables – Update #1
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
Every year, teams have to let some players go. Even though the Jets brought back Sione Po'uha, Bryan Thomas and Nick Folk, they chose not to bring everyone back. During preseason, I kept track of the progress on the guys who left so we could at least start to form some views on whether letting any of these guys loose was a mistake or a smart move. Now we're into the regular season, let's see how those guys are getting on.
This is the first update of the year and also acts as a primer in case you want to check on the progress of some of these guys yourselves with the Jets not playing today. It's particularly interesting in the light of the fact that the Jets' depth is under scrunity with all the injuries they've suffered so far. We'll be back with an update during the bye week and on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
After the jump, all of the details from the season so far for each of the ex-Jets contributing elsewhere.
In no particular order…
Jim Leonhard – Safety, Broncos
Leonhard has played in all four games for the Broncos, but has only been in on 25 snaps in total, playing as a deep safety in sub-packages. He has two tackles and hasn't been targeted in coverage. He has been returning punts too, with a longest of 16 yards, but an average below seven yards per return.
Robert Turner, Center, St. Louis
After a solid preseason, Turner was deservedly given the starting left guard job, but moved to center when Scott Wells was injured. He's been particularly good in pass protection, where he has only given up one pressure and ranks as the fourth best pass blocking center in the NFL per PFF. He's been good in the running game too, apart from in the Seattle game, where he had his hands full with the fast-emerging Brandon Mebane. I always felt Turner could be an NFL starter, but he wouldn't have been able to play guard in the Jets' system, so – with Mangold entrenched at the center spot – he was always going to sign for a team where he had a chance to start. He does have three penalties, including two against Mebane.
Wayne Hunter, Right Tackle, St. Louis
The original intention for Hunter in St. Louis was to play a similar role to that which the player he was traded for – Jason Smith – has with the Jets. In other words, he was expected to play as an extra tight end in certain packages. However, an injury to Roger Saffold has made him the starter at left tackle and he has responded well so far. In 250 snaps, he's given up just one sack and two hits so far, despite the fact the Rams haven't been giving him any help. Last year with the Jets, he was beaten for a sack or half-sack 11 times and gave up 11 hits. He did have his hands full with Julius Peppers, surrendering pressure eight times, but was able to limit that to just one sack and one hit. In total, he's only given up 14 total pressures in five games. As a run blocker, he's been up and down, but seems to be more of a focal point of the running attack than he ever was last year. Anyone who watched the Arizona game on Thursday will have seen him moving guys around more successfully than he ever did with the Jets, as the Rams running game took control in the second half against the unbeaten Cardinals.
It's early in the year and we know better than Rams fans do just how inconsistent Hunter can be, but he seems to be playing with confidence right now, something which never seemed possible during preseason. Much like the Turner move, this seems to have been a move that is best for the player.
Bonus link: Here's a good article from Ben Stockwell of PFF on Hunter's rise to mediocrity.
Brian Schottenheimer, Offensive Co-ordinator, St. Louis
The numbers are not that good so far for Schottenheimer's offense. Despite playing one more game than every other team apart from the Cardinals, they're only in 15th place in the league in scoring. They're also 29th in yards per game, 25th in time of possession, 30th in red zone percentage and, if you like advanced stats, were in 32nd place in offensive DVOA after week four.
However, the Rams are exceeding expectations at 3-2 and although that has much to do with their defense and special teams, Schottenheimer's offense has a +2 turnover differential (12th best in the league) and they aren't regarded as having very good offensive personnel, having posted similar numbers in many cateogories last year. So far, Schottenheimer's offense has coped despite all the injuries on the offensive line, but they will be challenged now that Danny Amendola has broken his collarbone. They had been leaning on him for a lot of their yardage.
Matt Mulligan, Tight End, St. Louis
Mulligan made headlines by blocking a punt and then catching the winning touchdown pass – the first of his career -against the Redskins a couple of weeks ago. However, the bigger story has been the consistency of his play. He has not committed a penalty all year and has only been beaten once in pass protection (although that was for a sack). He's even caught all three passes thrown his way, for 26 yards. By virtue of his run blocking, he actually grades out as the 5th best overall tight end in the NFL by PFF right now. Mulligan was always a guy that had games where he posted positive run blocking grades with the Jets, but these were overshadowed by the disastrous errors he had a tendency of making at the worst possible times. Even with his struggles last year, he was rated as the 9th best run blocker in the NFL. I suggested that Mulligan could be a productive player if he could cut out the bad errors, but wasn't convinced that was possible. So far, he has managed to do so, perhaps benefiting from being under less pressure like Hunter and gaining some confidence from that. It remains to be seen whether he can keep that up though.
Braylon Edwards, Wide Receiver, Seattle
Edwards started and played over 75% of the snaps in week one, catching five passes for 43 yards. However, he dropped a potential game winning touchdown pass and has only played a total of 18 snaps in the three games since then. He has not been targeted in those three games and seems to be very much on the periphery in Seattle right now. In that first game, he was targeted eight times in total and had a total of just six yards after the catch. He is grading out positively as a run blocker.
Marquice Cole, DB, New England
Cole is currently in the 5th cornerback role for the Patriots, having been used exclusively in the slot in preseason. So far, that means he's only played 13 snaps. He's been targeted just once – an incompletion – but did have a missed tackle. He's been playing on special teams, but hasn't made a major impact yet, with one penalty, one tackle and one missed tackle. If New England get any injuries, I'd expect the Patriots to trust Cole to be able to take on more reps.
Ropati Pitoitua, DE, Kansas City
Potty got his first start of the year on Sunday due to injury and made some headlines with two sacks and four stops. However, it wasn't all positive, as he was taken out of several plays by Jared Gaither. Prior to that game, his grades had been negative for pass rush (one hit, one pressure) and run defense (four tackles), but not too bad. Pitioitua is another guy I felt had the potential to start, but that probably wouldn't have got that opportunity with the Jets once they'd drafted Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples. It will be interesting to see if he can build on his performance this week.
Terrance Ganaway, RB, St. Louis
Ganaway was picked up off waivers by the Rams on the day after cutdown day. He was active for the first time in week four, but did not play any snaps on offense and was inactive again for week five. I'm sure they're aware that if they tried to sneak him back onto the practice squad, the Jets would probably pounce.
Jamaal Westerman, DE, Arizona
Westerman was picked up off waivers but has only played two snaps on defense this year (in week three). He has been active for special teams duty over the last two weeks, but isn't making any impact so far on the Cardinals defense.
Unless I'm missing someone obvious, I think that's it. Guys like Donald Strickland and Plaxico Burress are still free agents. We'll be back at the bye week to check on the progress of these guys.

Intel® Digital Security Surveillance Puts Retail Intelligence in Sight
The new world of video surveillance
For decades, keeping an eye on operations has essentially remained the same. But the rapid emergence and accessibility of IP-based, high-definition video cameras has paved the way for next-generation Intel® Digital Security Surveillance (Intel® DSS) systems. So what used to require personnel spending hours monitoring and combing over grainy footage from secured closed-circuit cameras can instead be handled by an Intel DSS system that analyzes thousands of data points per second.
From big retailers requiring dozens, or even hundreds, of cameras to smaller operations with only a few, Intel DSS solutions open up a wide range of opportunities that go well beyond security. The combination of high-definition digital video, low-cost storage, and sophisticated analytics applications means IP-based cameras can now be multi-purposed to deliver in-depth information that can be used to enhance and optimize business processes.
Intel Digital Security Surveillance market overview >
Retailers gather visual intelligence with video analytics >
Smarter solutions for video surveillance >
Enhanced consumer insights that create new value
The transition to digital video systems puts a whole host of actionable business analytics within any retailer's reach, from how consumers navigate the sales floor to wait times in the point-of-sale queue. A sampling of video analytics solutions optimized for Intel® architecture include offerings from LightHaus Visual Customer Intelligence (VCI), 3VR, Agent Vi, and Prism Skylabs.
Security that works smarter
Retailers in North America experience some USD 45 billion in product shrinkage each year from shoplifting, employee theft, and organized criminal efforts.1 IP-based video security enables retailers to identify suspicious or illegal behavior in aisles, product areas, the point of sale, and other locations. And digital video can be synched to transaction data to pinpoint fraudulent activity.
Customized, automated monitoring
Because the footage is digital, video analytics software can be used to automatically scan footage and identify trigger events—such as a potential shoplifter sweeping a shelf or someone breaching a secured area—and immediately send an alert. This increases responsiveness while reducing reliance on the personnel needed to manually scan masses of video footage.
The power to monitor from anywhere
Video captured with the latest Intel DSS solutions can stream over the network to any Internet-connected device. This allows authorized users to view live or recorded footage at any time, and from virtually anywhere. Intel DSS systems feature built-in video support that facilitates transmission using minimal bandwidth, so servers don't get bogged down with feeds from dozens of cameras.
Reliability, stability, and control
Intel DSS systems combine hardware-based security technologies with Intel security software solutions. This allows systems to off-load and accelerate data encryption and block malware by whitelisting acceptable applications. Moreover, it gives users real-time visibility into system health, reducing the need for costly technician calls and less downtime.
Remote management
Keeping more cameras up and running doesn't need to mean more work. Intel DSS solutions based on the Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor family enable easy content coordination across multiple devices, while Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) provides the tools to diagnose, repair, and manage entire Intel DSS infrastructures remotely.

Re: http://www.vt-cycle.fi
I invariably get higher front head readings than rear., which somewhat surprises me. I was told years ago that the front cyl ran hotter because
it got less oil, which I believed. But with all the oil flying around in there now, that temperature differential still seems to be present. ???
Anyway, at 4K miles, the bores and cylinders still look good, with no ridge worn as yet. I didn't mike anything, wish I had now...

New Year's Eve, while fun, never truly feels like the end of the year for me. It's not until I begin spring semester at school that I really feel the shift in time. Now that I've wrapped up all of my San Antonio sessions and gotten back into the swing of things here in New York, I've had some time to sift back through my images from the past year and count my blessings for all the wonderful people whose paths have crossed my own.
I am truly thankful for the clients and friends that I've had the chance to capture through my lens. With every new person that I photograph, I gain a little more perspective and appreciation of the diverse beauty in the world. 2010 has really been a monumental year for me; I've photographed more people than ever (from the slideshow, I counted 143 sessions of all types!) and begun to venture out into new types of work (for instance, CD covers and newborns). I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store…miss Daisy certainly kicked it off in the best kind of way! :)
In celebration of the past year, I updated the image galleries to include some of my new favorites (check out the links in the menu above). I also compiled this slideshow made up of one photo from every 2010 session…hope you enjoy it!

Video: Cellphone video from Orchard Park Accident Scene
Video: Woman Seriously Injured When SUV Crashes into Spa
ORCHARD PARK, NY - A driver who had just given blood apparently became woozy and lost control of her vehicle before plowing into an Orchard Park spa, pinning an employee at her desk and causing serious injuries.
Rebecca Sapio, 41, of Orchard Park, was traveling south on Orchard Park Road when her SUV veered across the northbound lane, jumped the curb, and crashed into the Spa at Falling Waters, a business located at 3385 Orchard Park Road. The accident happened Thursday just before 10 a.m.
Lisa Pivonka, 27, of Springville, an employee of the spa, was pinned by the vehicle between her desk and chair, and had to be extricated by emergency personnel. The rescue took about half-an-hour, Orchard Park Police said.
She was taken by Mercy Flight to Erie County Medical Center with internal injuries. She's currently being treated in the intensive care unit, where her condition is listed as stable.
The driver was taken by ambulance to ECMC with minor injuries.

Detailed Description:
Silymarin and green tea are the two most widely used botanical products used by patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. A major limitation of prior clinical investigations that may account for lack of efficacy is their use of inadequate customary oral dose regimens. Ongoing Phase II studies utilizing higher than customary doses of silymarin are based on potential disease modifying effects resulting from the potent antioxidant properties of silymarin flavonolignans. Since patients often use more than one herbal product to self-treat their disease, the use of higher than customary doses of silymarin may change silymarin's potential for herbal-herbal interactions. Pharmacokinetic interactions between silymarin and green tea catechins may change their safety/tolerability profiles, and may increase their antioxidant effects through additive or synergistic pharmacodynamic interactions. The objective of this double blind, active placebo controlled, randomized clinical trial is to characterize the pharmacokinetics and to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antioxidant effects of an herbal cocktail consisting of silymarin and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) standardized green tea extract in treatment-naïve patients with chronic HCV infection. This investigation will include four treatment arms that will enroll 15 subjects per arm. Subjects will be randomized to receive in a fixed sequence either: 1) 280 mg silymarin followed by the coadministration of 982.5 mg EGCG; 2) 982.5 mg EGCG followed by the coadministration of 280 mg silymarin; 3) 196.5 mg EGCG followed by the coadministration of 700 mg silymarin; or 4) 700 mg silymarin followed by the coadministration of 196.5 mg EGCG. Each dosing regimen will be administered p.o. every 12 hrs for 12 days. No treatment arm uses high doses for both silymarin and EGCG in a sequence. Depending on the treatment arm, pharmacokinetic studies will be performed on plasma concentrations for six major silymarin flavonolignans and for the green tea catechin, EGCG at the end of 12 days of either silymarin or green tea extract monotherapy (Period 1), and then again after 12 days of silymarin and green tea extract given in combination (Period 2). For each treatment arm, plasma 8F2α-isoprostane concentrations, a measure of oxidative stress, will also be determined at baseline, during each period, and then at follow-up. The results from this investigation will be used to identify doses of silymarin and green tea that can be used together safely for future efficacy trials in patients with different chronic liver diseases.

World Evangelization Conference
March 9-13, 2015
Welcome to the World Evangelization Conference 2015! The World Evangelization Conference (WEC) is the Seminary's annual missions conference, which exists to bring glory to God by spurring students on toward the mission of God through the Gospel of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is a week-long campus-wide event entirely designed and coordinated by students for students and guests – it is open to the public!
Conference presenters include pastors, professors, missionaries, and field experts who will speak in chapels, breakout seminars, workshops, and special events. Additionally, students will have the chance to learn about short term, long term, and career ministry opportunities from over 30 global organizations that will join us as conference exhibitors. At the end of the day, our hope is to see a devoted student body prepared to serve Jesus Christ wherever He has called them. Our mission is to create a global awareness and build a passion for God's global mission.
We invite you to check out the conference schedule and look forward to seeing you in March! WEC is a campus-wide event focused on helping students serve Christ in a global context. Dallas Theological Seminary annually sets aside an entire week to focus the entire campus on bringing the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Regular classes are canceled, and students serve as the main mobilizers and participants in the conference. WEC also has active involvement from the missions community, attracting dozens of representatives from agencies representing all parts of the globe. It is a beautiful time of Christian fellowship and worship as we continue to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
The WEC Team
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:19-20
