Rated 4 out of 5 by 24 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mississa Exceptional I was nervous on ordering this product at such a low price when my last drink dispenser (which was plastic) was over $30+. However I was highly pleased when it came; the glass is thick, the parts are well built. I cleaned it out and gave it an overnight test run. It held all fluids with no spills. Two days ago was the son's baptism, (the event I purchased this item for) it was full of milk and being in constant use for 2 plus hours. I placed a hand towel on the floor to catch drips as most drink dispensers usually have. When we went to clean up the drink spot was no bigger than a quarter and we had a LOT of children dispensing their own drink so I was and am very impressed! June 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by YiddleBearMom Awesome Beverage Dispenser This beverage dispenser was exactly what I was looking for! It is a great size and holds quite a bit of liquid. I also love the design. It was very easy to clean and store. I will be able to use it for parties and events this summer, which is exactly what I wanted. I really couldn't beat the price for the size and quality, so I bought 2! I had to order online since it was not in my local WM store, but it came fairly quickly and in time for the party I was throwing. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it to others. March 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mjream This product looks great! I bought this as a gift for my mom and she LOVES it! There hasn't been a day where it hasn't had tea in it since she got it! January 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pearl007 Very excited to use these for my wedding! I bought two of these to use for serving beverages at my wedding next year. $19.99 is the typical price I've seen online for glass drink dispensers, but World Market was having a sale at the time so I saved $5.00 on each dispenser. I've heard reviews of other dispensers leaking, but I'm glad to say these do not! November 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by detailedshopper Excellent drink dispenser for the price & love the style! I have used this glass drink dispenser several times for parties and so far it has held up very well. I think I bought them about a year ago now. Before the 1st use, I did have to use the white plumbers tape that someone else suggested in a prior review, this was to keep it from leaking. My husband did the tape and he said it was easy. Thank you SO much to the reviewer(s) that mentioned the tape or I may have had to return them. I bought 2 dispensers and I think only one needed the tape. Before each use we test them out with a bit of water for any leaking and so far they have never leaked. I ended up purchasing ceramic stands so the dispensers sit up a bit, it makes it easier for guests to put their cup under without having to tilt the cup. August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by bvernon34 Great Dispenser! I bought these for my co-workers for Christmas and they LOVE them! I bought 2 of these and 2 of the Savanna dispensers. Both look great! December 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AOK2014 Great quality product at very affordable price! I ordered this item for my daughter's wedding reception. I was so excited to find it from World Market at such a reasonable price, and it was shipped in a very timely manner. I will definitely be checking this website for future purchases! November 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mama55 The whole familly loves the jug I ordered 4 of the jugs and when they arrived, one was in pieces. It was on a Friday evening and I didn't think I could get anything resolved but decided to call the customer service number, just in case. To my surprise, they answered, took all my info and placed another order. My replacement jug came in 5 days. I was very pleased with my service and will order again. July 28, 2013

To help you prepare your defenses, here are the 10 dumbest things that people do (or fail to do) with their smartphones.
1) No password protection.
If you could "lock" your wallet, wouldn't you? Well, why don't more folks lock their iPhone or Android phone? While it is nowhere CLOSE to being foolproof, a phone password works like the theory of the burglar and the dog: If you take that extra step to protect yourself, most bad guys will simply move on to the next (easier) target. It's a lot easier for a thief to steal a smartphone with no password than it is to work on cracking your phone.
2) Shopping online with an Internet browser instead of a shopping app.
If you have the choice between shopping at Amazon.com using your phone's browser versus Amazon's app, use the app! Ditto for eBay, Overstock, and any big retailer that gives you the option of using their app. Unlike browsers, dedicated shopping apps are designed to ward off phishing and other kinds of scams. (Before you download it, just make sure it's really their official app!)

Scott Allison: At the Heart of Every Great Company is a (Potentially) Great Story
You hear it every day. It's a mantra in the startup world: "Timing is everything."
Like most old proverbs, this often proves to be true, until of course the time that it doesn't. And that's when things begin to get interesting, from my point of view.
The story of one of the city's most active mid-size PR firms in the technology sector, Allison & Partners, is illustrative.
Scott W. Allison launched his company here in the city in early September 2001, just days before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. When it comes to starting a new venture in a field that is highly dependent on clients who can pay, his timing couldn't have been worse.

Hi I'm after someone to please make me a map for a novel I'm working on, it's set in a medieval fantasy world.
Attached is a very rough drawing of the main countries Attachment 54277 and their relation to one another. These are just the countries that I talk about in my novel there can be other countries around them, though I'd like there to be sea to the right of Aragoth and Horras as the characters take a boat to the Isle of Mef. I haven't created names for the seas sorry, though I'd love recommendations.
I'm After a Map in a style similar to http://www.cartographersguild.com/at...er-sea-map.jpg
Though nowhere near as large or detailed as it will be going in a novel over 2 pages, the map makers name would be included in the book.
Time Constraints within the next month or 2
I will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his portfolio but not to exploit it for commercial gain as I'd be using it in my novel, I'm open to negotiations on cost.

"That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as pillars sculptured in palace style." (Psalm 144:12)
The Learning Connection is a Christ-centered home school support group ministering to families in Northwest Jersey. We are here to encourage you on this journey of home schooling through many facets. Some of the variety of family activities that you can take part in are as follows, but not limited to:
|Mom's Night Out
|Family Nights
|Field Trips
|TLC Co-op
|Holiday Parties
|Geo./Science Fairs
|Standardized Testing
|Graduation for all ages
|An much, much, more
TLC desires to see parents rediscover their God-given role to educate their children ---"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." (Deuteronomy 6:7)
Our vision would be that through the practical application of God's word and prayer we would heed His instruction in loving, educating, and equipping our children to the fullest extent of their ability --- "That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as pillars, sculptured in palace style." (Psalm 144:12)
TLC believes that God has given to parents the primary responsibility to raise and educate their children. Since He has given His people all things pertaining to life and godliness, they need not feel inadequate or fear failure in the area of educating their children. Therefore, TLC seeks to encourage and assist the parent in this calling through the variety of ways that its individual members enable the group. We are able to rest in knowing that in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us and that includes the education of our children. We must stand firm in knowing that He who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it.
In acknowledgment of the fact that God is in complete control, we must, therefore, cast aside any form of pride and in sincere humility live out the convictions we have to home educate our children. We must never become self-righteous as to condemn those who have chosen to do otherwise (Philippians 2:1-4)

If you had asked me before I had children, "what are the essential characteristics of boys and girls?" I would have laughed at you and told you that girls and boys don't have "essential characteristics."Apart from the obvious differences in biology, I would have said, everything that differentiates girls and boys is learned. Being boy means have male reproductive parts; being "boyish" or "masculine" means learning what our culture thinks those words mean and performing accordingly. Ditto for the difference between girl and "girlish" or "feminine."
I swore that if I ever had a son, I would teach him well, and he would not grow up to think that the only way to move through the world was via aggression, competition, and an insistence on hierarchies where male trumps female and power = right.
I swore that if I ever had a daughter, she would grow up learning that any physical activity she desired was open to her -- not just ballet or gymnastics, but basketball, soccer or track. That she would not think that the only way to move through the world was with demure grace and a self-denying impulse never to speak her mind.
Then, I had children.
And the lovely first-born, the boy, despite being read to constantly, handed paints and art supplies (which he adored) and nurtured in non-competitive physical games, turned his creative impulses to biting his french toast into the shape of a gun at the age of two. Because, of course, we didn't have weapon-shaped toys in the house, and I discouraged the formation of legos into guns -- but really (and there is something genius about a two-year-old figuring this out), am I going to take away his breakfast because it happens to end up vaguely shaped like a gun? What if he picks up that oblong shape, narrower at one end, points it at me, and gleefully shouts "pew, pew, pew, pew, pew!" -- will I take it away then?
These are the tests a boy puts a mother through. And they are nearly enough to make a mother who was once convinced that gender is wholly learned think that perhaps there are some innate ways in which gender differences are hard-wired into us.
And then the lovely second-born, a girl, despite being jogged with in a jogging stroller, hiked with in a backpack, and nurtured to see that women can love athletics and the feeling of wind in their hair, turned her own physical desires wholly towards ballet. Soccer was uninteresting, biking was too fast and required constant application of the brakes, and hiking made her tired. But ballet? At four, she can pay rapt attention for a whole class period to the teacher, undistracted even by her friends' goofing around, practice plies with delight at home, rise up onto her toes and dance at every strain of music she hears everywhere.
Granted, the boy is exceedingly empathetic in ways that make me proud, and the girl, stubborn as the day is long, does not hesitate to speak her mind. So I think that I have in some measure done my job in combatting them falling unthinkingly into the gender stereotypes that I find most damaging.
But the more I watch them grow, the more I am convinced that certain parts of our conception of gender difference really do have roots deep within us and not within anything our culture tells us about what it means to be masculine or feminine.
This has been brought home to me most strikingly lately around the subject of games. Growing up, my sisters and I loved games -- Mousetrap, Monopoly, Connect Four, card games of all kinds -- you name it. I learned Backgammon in elementary school, and I remember my father teaching me chess. My grandmother and sisters and I played endless hands of Uno, and I have fond memories of the smooth cold marbles in shiny colors that filled our Chinese Checkers set.
My children love games too, no small surprise, since their father also grew up playing lots of games with his brother.
But here's the thing: it is suddenly obvious to me that the way my husband and his brother played games was completely different from the way my sisters and I played...and in both cases, I am pretty sure that there were no adults doing anything to shape or influence that play. Take Monopoly, for instance. It was not until this summer (and yes, I am forty years old) that I realized that the best strategy for bankrupting opponents is to wait to buy houses until they are one roll away from your stretch of property, and then to load up the spots where they are most likely to land (seven is the most common number to come up in a roll of two dice, so put your houses seven spots from where they are sitting). Why did I not know this before? Because my sisters and I, while wanting to win, never thought about this game in terms of strategy. We loaned each other money. We had a "pot" in the middle where all the taxes and fees went, and when you landed on Free Parking, you got to claim the pot. It was only this summer that I learned that that pot was not part of the rules. Basically, without even knowing it, my sisters and I made the game more cooperative, while my husband's impulse with his brother was to make it as cutthroat as possible.
Cutthroat may seem like a harsh word. But I remember HATING to play games like Risk or Monopoly with mixed groups of friends in college because the boys always "took things so seriously," were "mean" or "vicious" about wanting to win, seemed purposefully to seek out ways to do damage to their opponents. In essence, I had somehow intuited as a girl growing up that the most satisfying way to win a game was to know that you'd made every effort to be "fair" while playing, and yet you'd still come out on top.
The boys I knew had grown up thinking that "fair" meant taking advantage of every advantage that could be gleaned according to the rules of the game. In Backgammon, for example, this means stacking up your pieces in your opponent's starting corner of the board, so that once you knock out one of her pieces, there is no roll she can make that will land her back on the board. Then you can calmly and gleefully roll over and over again until all of your pieces are set up for an easy win. This is also a strategy I did now know until this summer.
Why am I learning all these new gaming tips all of a sudden? Because my husband is playing games with my son, and he is teaching him strategy. I think this is great in a lot of ways. First, although Son is only 6, Husband doesn't throw the game to let him win. Sure, he will coach him along with, "Are you sure you want to make that move?" and he will show him strategic options, but if Son makes a bad move, Husband will bankrupt him or put him in Checkmate or make it impossible for him to move his game piece forward. He doesn't gloat about beating a child, but he doesn't coddle him either -- and I wholeheartedly support the notion that it's good for kids to learn how to lose gracefully as well as how to win strategically.
On the other hand, there are moments when I find my own childhood frustrations well up when we are playing family games, and the boys vs. girls teams we've set up suddenly make me feel like my loss is being lorded over. It isn't. But it feels like it is because I find myself hyper-sensitive about the mode of play in which someone is gleefully watching someone else fail. If I learned anything as a child playing games, it was that you should only be happy on the inside when you win.
Now, you will say that my husband is teaching these things to my son, and so they are obviously not innate but learned.
But here's the thing: Son is taking to these lessons like a duck to water, whereas Daughter is drawn to much less competitive games. Furthermore, it's pretty clear to me that Husband has no conscious sense that this is somehow a "masculine" way to play. This is just how you play games: you play to win, and you glory in those wins. The fact that he and his brother sorted out these kinds of rules on their own as kids, while my sisters and I took an entirely different tack with the same games suggests to me that there is some grain of difference there in how we approach the concept of playing a game. For me, it is a fun past time whose satisfaction decreases if some people "feel bad" at the end of the game. For my husband, it is a fun past time whose very purpose is to determine the hierarchy of the moment. Winning can be reveled in because losing is only temporary, and tomorrow there will be a rematch. In short, winning or losing is about skill, luck and strategy, not about being "nice" or "mean."
Although I still struggle with this because for me winning or losing games always came with a visceral response that implied a kind of character judgment, I hope both of my children will learn to play the "male" way. It builds character, I think, to learn to lose gracefully in the face of someone who is so delighted to win -- and as long as the winner has a healthy sense that the next time around he/she may lose, I think it's good for everyone.
I am woman enough to admit that in this case, at least, I was wrong: there do seem to be ways that gendered characteristics are hard-wired.
I am also still feminist enough to hope that I can tweak that wiring a little bit. For now, I hope to teach my daughter to throw herself whole-heartedly into competition, and teach my son when it's the right moment to back down.

Mrs F and Marinka: I'm glad to know it isn't only me! I do admit to some horror too, Marinka, at realizing that it's not all just constructed. (*pop* went that bubble) But it's also pretty fascinating.
Lorna: isn't it interesting that the game isn't "fun" for us unless the winning is more incidental, but it isn't "fun" for our husband's unless it is the only point? That is certainly a very gendered response in terms of thinking about masculine competition vs. feminine compromise, but it's still hard to admit that this is more than simply a conditioned response! (Also, it's why I haven't played Risk with any male person in 20 years.)

I think it depends, on the monopoly thing. My sister always cheated. But she was a fiesty one when she was little (she is still, but we know NEVER to let her be the banker when we play monopoly)
Oh and the weapon thing? My little brother was a HUGE fan of weapons. We didn't have guns but he had LOTS of other stuff.
He's like the sweetest 18 year old you'll ever meet. But when he was little? It was all about the "guyas" and their weapons. He used to make his little guyas (action figures) crash into each other, stage elaborate battles, etc.
Myself and my sister? Nope. More interested in dressing my American Girls.

You are not alone in lacking the cutthroat Monopoly skills. This is one game I will never play with my husband again. Ever. I don't have sons, so I can't compare gender. I have two girls. Even within the same gender, I see vast differences in their gaming skills. One daughter is lax, prone to inventing her own rules and challenging the established ones. The other plays within the rules to a fault but is so intense and strategic at four that I wonder where all this will lead when she is older.

This, THIS is the reason I'd like to see more men and male influence in early schooling for children.
Because there IS a difference. Because it matters. Because there needs to be a balance.

I think about this often, though so far I only have boys. Though the differences are interesting, and I'm pretty sure that there are definitely some hard-wired characteristics in general, so far they haven't played out in my family. My son loves trucks and trains, but he spends most of his time reading quietly or talking to me, much the way friends with girls say their kids are and not at all the way other boys whirlwind around my house on playdates. I wonder what his younger brother will be like in a few years...
I think it's nearly impossible to tell what is innate and what is learned. Maybe your son is like that because his father is like that and your daughter is like you, but it doesn't mean all boys and girls are hard-wired differently. Maybe they learn those things right away in day care and school or from friends who have older siblings. Or maybe it really starts with the genes.
I just don't know. But I do love that you're thinking about it and that you are embracing the balance that your husband and you provide as a couple. I think it's really important and your kids' lives are so much richer because of it.

MARIETTA, Ga.-- Randy Heitzman talks about his son like any proud dad. "He's made a lot of difference in a lot of people's lives," he said. "He would have never told us, because we're his parents. We never knew all of the things he did for other people. If this hadn't happened, we never would have known."
Chris Heitzman had just graduated from Lassiter High School in 2012. He was headed to college in the fall to play baseball. "Baseball was his passion," his mom, Debbie, said. "It was his life."
Seven months ago, on the 4th of July, it all came crashing down.
Christopher was in a car with two other friends. They'd just won a baseball game and were on their way to grab lunch. Randy got a phone call from a friend. He had just passed an accident on Trickum Road.
It's still unclear what caused the accident. According to police reports, the driver of the car swerved or lost control, crossed the center line, and was hit by an on-coming car. The driver of the car, Ryan Aschenbach, died in the crash. Christopher was in a coma. He sustained a brain injury, multiple broken bones, damage to his bladder and kidneys. He was airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital.
For 32 days, Randy and Debbie Heitzman waited.
"We didn't have that sort of wow moment that we were hoping for all along," Debbie said.
Instead, it has been months measured in minuscule miracles: moving fingers, eating soft food, gaining weight.
"People tell us we're doing such a great job," Randy said. "But in my mind, we're not doing anything different than what anyone else would do for their own child. We love him and we're going to take care of him, no matter what."
Then, just two weeks ago, it happened. Christopher smiled. It's a lop-sided grin his family can easily inspire with goofy faces and silly jokes.
"When it first happened, we were all laughing," Debbie remembered. "But then we broke down into tears because it was such a momentous occasion because Christopher started looking like himself again.
Reacting to the world around him was another tiny step in the battle to find the old Christopher. "It is possible he will fully recover. The Heitzmans have met other patients with similar brain injuries that are doing well. Doctors just can't tell when, how, and if it will happen. The Heitzmans, and the community of support they've inspired, remain hopeful.
Others have said it, and you can see it in the way he locks eyes with his dad. When you spend time with Christopher, it just seems like he has something to say. "We've talked about how frustrating it must be for him," Debbie said.
"This isn't the Christopher we know," he dad said. "So it's hard for us to see that. When his friends are coming over and have to leave to go back to school, and that's where we know he is supposed to be. But we just have to be faithful that it's going to be delayed a little while. He's going to be back where he wants to be and where he needs to be."
His family says the constant support they've received from their community is amazing. Taking care of Christopher is a time-consuming group effort. Seven months after the accident, volunteers continue to bring them dinner on a regular basis. Friends and former classmates offer to sit with Christopher. "We haven't even met all of the people that have helped us, and that's really what's kept us going."
This Saturday, Randy will push Christopher in a 5K in his name. It will raise money to pay for therapies and technology not covered by insurance. A family friend, Jamie Cole, is planning the event. "I've seen this family during some of the darkest moments of their life," she said. "And I see them uplifted by the community support. It does make a difference."
The 5K is Saturday, January 26th. It starts and ends at Lassiter High School. About 70 people have pre-registered for the event. You can still register the morning of the race. The $25 donation will go straight to an account set up in Christopher's name. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. The event starts at 8:30 a.m.

Ned Yost media session: September 4
Before wrapping a three-game series vs. the Cleveland Indians with today's 1:10 contest, Royals manager Ned Yost said there has been no final decision made on right-handed starter Felipe Paulino, who is scheduled to start tomorrow in Oakland. Paulino received an MRI on Friday after he was scratched from his scheduled appearance on Wednesday vs. Detroit due to back spasms.
"He [Paulino] passed his test yesterday," Yost said. "Had some general soreness which was okay so we will see how he feels today and we'll evaluate it tomorrow."
Right fielder Jeff Francoeur and shortstop Alcides Escobar both have the day off for today's game. Yost praised Francoeur for his diligence throughout the season and wanted to give him some rest for a change and also playing time for outfielder Mitch Maier. The Royals skipper touched on Escobar's condition after the shortstop exited Friday's contest due to a left ankle sprain. Yost said that Escobar is doing well and wanted to give him one more extra day to relax.
"Esky [Escobar] could probably play today but we're going to give him one more day," Yost said. "Two days off is going to be a like a month for him."
Infielder Chris Getz filled in for Escobar at shortstop during Friday's game and has been put into the role in yesterday and today's contests as well. Yost complimented Getz saying that the second baseman has worked hard to help his throws from shortstop, which has an entirely different feel than from his customary second base spot.
The Royals will hit the road after today for a seven-game trip facing Oakland and Seattle starting tomorrow with a 3:07 (Central) Labor Day contest vs. the Athletics.

The acid mantle that covers the outer surface of your skin is vital to the health of your complexion, as it protects the skin from the damaging elements that are all around you in the environment. When things go awry with this vital protective covering, skin care problems are bound to follow. If the acidity levels of the barrier become excessive or too low, the body will naturally shift the production of the natural oils that form it to try and remedy the problem. This change in sebum production levels is what leads to dry skin, oily skin and combination complexions.
Because they help restore the acid-base balance of the skin's natural acid mantle, the Glytone Toners/Clarifiers are vital skin care solutions. The Glytone Toners/Clarifiers subtly adjust the pH to bring it within the optimal range for good skin health. The product of extensive scientific research, the Glytone Toners/Clarifiers provide the skin with powerful, yet safe ingredients that quickly normalize even the most out-of-balance complexions to treat skin care problems faster. Shop the Glytone Toners/Clarifiers collection to re-balance your skin.
Truly beautiful skin is a delicate balancing act between oiliness and dryness. You can trust Glytone Toners/Clarifiers products to help your complexion remain at its optimal, balanced pH.
Glytone Acne Cleansing Toner is a highly effective formula that helps reduce the oil content of acne-prone skin, while opening the pores to treat and prevent blemishes. The toner includes powerful 2 percent salicylic acid, which travels deep into the pores where it dissolves the sebum and skin cells that have become lodged in the tiny openings. The acid also exfoliates the skin tissue, leaving it primed for Glytone acne treatment products or prescription medications. Additionally, the mild antibacterial properties of salicylic acid make the toner capable of eradicating P. acnes bacteria, which contribute to the formation of pimples.
Skin discoloration is one of the most difficult skin care problems to treat, even with highly effective interventions. The Glytone Essential Prep is designed to prepare the skin for clinical interventions as well as at-home treatments for hyperpigmentation to help increase the effectiveness of the ingredients used to remedy the discoloration. The prep can also help prepare the skin for other types of skin care treatments, including those for signs of aging. The toner contains 1 percent salicylic acid, which removes portions of the outer layer of dead cells, so that other formulas can penetrate the skin more efficiently and rapidly. In addition, the toner balances the skin to its optimal pH, which creates ideal conditions for other skin care products.

TUPELO, Mississippi (Reuters) – At least 30 people across six states have been killed by a vicious storm system that unleashed dozens of tornadoes and was threatening to cause more damage in heavily populated regions of the U.S. South on Tuesday.
The hardest hit states have been Arkansas and Mississippi where 23 people have been killed and more than 200 injured by tornadoes over the past three days that have flattened neighborhoods, reduced homes to splinters and snapped trees like twigs.
Deaths were also reported in Oklahoma and Iowa on Sunday, and Alabama and Tennessee on Monday.
A large cluster of thunderstorms pelted Alabama, Georgia and the Florida Panhandle on Tuesday, with tornadoes likely touching down along the Alabama-Georgia state line, forecasters said.
PHOTOS: Deadly tornadoes
"The main severe threat today is down in the central and eastern Gulf Coast," National Weather Service meteorologist Brynn Kerr said, adding there was potential for severe conditions in Tennessee and the Ohio Valley later on Tuesday.
Tens of thousands of customers along the path of the storm were without power on Tuesday morning, with the worst outages in parts of Alabama and Georgia, utility companies reported.
In western North Carolina, fire department personnel used boats to rescue people from homes and vehicles deluged overnight by flash floods.
In Arkansas, residents of central Faulkner County, where most of the damage occurred, sorted through the rubble as they tried to piece their lives back together.
"There is joy because you find something that's not broken and then you find something that's shattered that meant a lot," said Terry Lee, whose home was damaged by a tornado.
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, who declared a state of emergency late on Monday in preparation for the looming storms, said in a statement, "We're prepared now, and we'll be ready for recovery should we, God forbid, experience tornado damage or flooding."
In Tupelo, Mississippi, which was hit by a tornado on Monday, police were going house to house searching for victims and trying to stem any gas leaks that could fuel fires.
Officials were also picking through the rubble in Lincoln County, Tennessee, near the Alabama state line late Monday evening, where a tornado touched down, killing two people.
One of the victims in Alabama was John Servati, 21, a member of the University of Alabama's swim team who died in a friend's basement when a retaining wall collapsed, a university spokeswoman said.

Welcome to the CG and hope to see what you're working on soon!
I just joined up with the guild, and I am really glad I found a website like this with an amazing community that takes interest in cartography.
I'm working on sort of a fantasy book, and I realised that I'll need much more experience if I want to make my world map look good and true to some standards.
I'm still looking around, reading tutorials, and trying to get a grasp a bit of how things work here, but the more I see the more I feel excited.
I'm really looking forward to learning more, and I can already see that this is going to be yet another amazing journey that will help my fantasy to expand in large scale.
My goal is to create ultimate map which will be fitting enough for my book. I don't wanna feel any kind of regret when I put it out together with the story, so I'm here to learn and gain skill, possibly have a good time with people around the community, while I'm at it.
So much for brief intro...
Well, I'll see you around!
Welcome to the CG and hope to see what you're working on soon!
Dobrý den! Vítám vás!

Dear Colleague Letter - EarthCube: The Next Steps
This document has been archived.
Date: December 9, 2011
Subject: Next steps in realizing EarthCube
EarthCube is a community driven activity aimed at creating and nurturing transformative approaches to integrated data management infrastructures across the Geosciences. The Geosciences Directorate (GEO) and the Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI) have established a partnership to address the multifaceted challenges of modern, data-intensive science and education. The expected outcome is an environment where obstacles associated with low adoption thresholds and new capabilities are overcome so as to greatly increase the productivity and capability of researchers and educators working at the frontiers of Earth system science.
A "Dear Colleague Letter" (NSF 11-065) initiated EarthCube (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2011/nsf11065/nsf11065.jsp?org=NSF) in June 2011, followed by a Charrette held Nov. 1-4, 2011. The Charrette provided the opportunity for the community to come together (on-site and virtually) to clarify the long-term breadth and scope of EarthCube and identify potential new science that could be accomplished within a future framework for EarthCube. Information on the Charrette and its outcomes is available at the EarthCube website (http://earthcube.ning.com). Community dialogue has also been facilitated by webinar presentations (http://www.nsf.gov/geo/earthcube/). Dialogue continues in order to hone a strategic framework for EarthCube and encourage convergence of broad-based collaborations within the geosciences and beyond.
At this point in the process, NSF will accept EAGER1 proposals or supplemental funding requests that are consistent with the guidance provided by the Charrette, this letter and supplemental guidance (http://www.nsf.gov/geo/earthcube/eagerguidance.jsp). Submissions must involve one of these three categories:
Prior to submitting an EAGER proposal or a supplemental funding request related to EarthCube, a two-page summary must be submitted by email to email@example.com. The summary should (1) identify which of the above three categories the proposed activity would address; (2) explain the scientific motivation for the proposed effort; (3) describe the resultant advances that would be enabled by the undertaking, and (4) identify the members of the team. NSF will review the summaries and provide additional guidance to the submitting team. EAGER proposals or supplemental funding requests for EarthCube that do not contain the required predated email summary and a response from the NSF EarthCube team will be returned without review.
This ambitious EarthCube activity is not a proper venue for proposals for which there are existing programs or mechanisms. In particular, proposals of the following types are not appropriate for submission through the EarthCube EAGER mechanism:
EarthCube continues to focus on facilitating effective partnerships beyond those present prior to its inception. Thus, proposals should reflect a new breadth and depth of partnerships and collaborations poised to overcome the most confrontational barriers to the advancement of geosciences research and education. Consistent with EarthCube's open dialogue process, proposals must demonstrate substantial outreach, dissemination, and broad community inclusion during the award period. It is also expected that cyberinfrastructure projects will be closely tied to high priority broadly applicable capabilities and milestones and be closely connected to research needs that span the geosciences.
Continued community dialog and inclusiveness in the EarthCube design is of paramount importance. The next community event, currently planned for late Spring 2012, will focus on enabling constructive discussions towards convergence of ideas and approaches. NSF will only support activities that will best prepare the community for this next step.
Tim Killeen, Assistant Director, Directorate for Geosciences (GEO)

I just got done hosting our local NWTF chapter banquet, and was talking to a few guys about video taping hunts. I had forgotten about the short films my buddy and I shot 2 springs ago in Kansas. The link below is one of my favorites.. I could watch that bird gobble 100 times and not get tired of it.
I had killed my first bird of the day about 2 hours before this one. We got set up on him less than 30 minutes after my first bird, but I could only see his head and neck, and couldnt tell how far he was, so I passed. We circled around him, and set up, only to have him circle back around us to come in.
I normally pass on Jakes, but any Jake that is man enough to come in spitting, drumming, strutting and gobbling, is gonna get killed.

This side dish makes a nice accompaniment to a serving of grilled fish or chicken and piece of cornbread.
Substitute 1 pkg. (8 oz.) coleslaw blend for the shredded green and red cabbages, and/or substitute 1/4 cup OSCAR MAYER Real Bacon Bits for the cooked and crumbled OSCAR MAYER Bacon.
In addition to the peanuts adding both crunch and great flavor to this tasty coleslaw, the cabbage is rich in vitamin C. And as a bonus, each serving provides over 1/2 cup of the recommended 2-1/2 cups of vegetables per day.
* Nutrition information is estimated based on the ingredients and cooking instructions as described in each recipe and is intended to be used for informational purposes only. Please note that nutrition details may vary based on methods of preparation, origin and freshness of ingredients used.
This is usually my must-make dish for summer cookouts. Always a huge hit and usually never any left!
Very tasty and simple. I used the coleslaw cabbage in a bag and added a bit more dressing as we prefer more of a creamy slaw.
Yummy dressing.

zimbra@mail:~$ cat db/data/zimbra/flush_enforcer.frm
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I just checked the date on my flush_enforcer.frm file and it was modified on Sept 13 which is when my backups stopped working. I'm guessing that if I can restore this file to its previous contents it will solve my problem. Assuming it normally contains ascii data, would someone be able to cat theirs and pos the output?

It merges classical type-design with an experimental spirit. CA Texteron combines elements of the dynamic renaissance principle with the static neo-classic style, which makes it hard to classify. The result is a post-modern hybridization. More…
