Hi Darryl,
Can you briefly discuss how office 2010 plus is supported by the service request system? I'm having some problems with office 2010 but when I open tickets it's like I'm being round-robin to different groups. Is the workflow possible wrong? Also, when the techs answer they give me this standard reply and close my ticket.
Unfortunately, this is outside of our scope of support and would best be handled by our Office support team at 866-452-4755. Their hours are M-F 5AM-9PM, Sa-Su 6AM-3PM PST. If this does answer your question and there are no further concerns surrounding this request, please reply to this email and let me know, I will archive this service request as resolved.
I will visit and open a new ticket at answers.microsoft.com but I would like to understand how the service request system handles office 2010 requests.
Here is a screenshot to start our discussion:
1. The red is the Office 365 for Office Pro Plus
2. The green is the options for support
- Activate, Setup, Deploy
- Outlook
- Installing Updates
Are these the only things we can expect to be supported through the Service Request system?
Can an "Other" field be added that when selected auto generates a email to the user with this:

This would be much nicer than wasting calls(on a saturday) and time(3 days to reply) telling me something that could have been auto-replied in a few seconds.
Also, is this number to free support or paid support?
Also, when we buy office pro plus in Office 365 do we get support with this or do we have to buy paid support somewhere else? This week I've learned so much about office 365.
Hi Residentx10,
Sorry the answers to these issues were not made clear to you up front.
Also sorry to pass the baton, but I have to forward your questions to Microsoft Online Services who can better answer you.
Also, I recommend that you post these questions on the following Office forums:
These forums are moderated and visited by IT Pros who I'm sure have had similar experiences.
I hope this will help you,
Not as sorry as I am, Darryl...
What is the role of the Office 365 community mods? You give contradictory advice at every turn.
Here you gave advice to go here: community.office365.com/.../10404.aspx
I've opened cases here and I get told to post somewhere else
None of these places get me solutions. I just spend my time reading...
I don't feel the advice you gave above is relevant. I want a defined position on office 2010 support with Office 365. I have a technical problem and I need a fix not a "community"
Hey Res, Sorry again, but I'm only the messenger and the message was not contradictory. You were posting on the General Office Professional Plus forum, which is primarily for information workers. Both that forum and the answers.microsoft.com forum are primarily for questions by information workers, not by system admins or other IT pros. For this audience, I suggest you visit the Office professional plus administration forum where I directed readers to the Office 2010 Pro forums on TechNet.
I realize this is not the ultimate solution you're looking for, and that the system needs to improve. I sent your questions on the Microsoft Online Services - I'm confident they can help you.
They'll either post a reply on this forum and/or get back to me and I'll post their reply.
Hi Res,
I was just told "MSOL Support can only support admins based on issues with Office Pro Plus installation, deployment, and activations. All other application issues must go through Office support which is a pay service." The number above is correct: 866-452-4755.
I'm the admin for my account and I still get the above message. I know you not intentionally giving me the runaround. These products are complex and some issues I'm sure you don't want to get involved with...like this one.
I was just mad the other day. I'll go to the IT/dev site you listed.
I'm truly sorry this has been a complex issue - it should not be that way. Office 365 as well as other cloud-based offerings are new, and product support for them needs to improve by becoming more easily available and user friendly. If it's any consolation, your frustrations have not gone unnoticed and better solutions are being worked on internally for Office 15. I'm just sorry a better solution isn't available for you right now. I hope this gets resolved for you soon.
It's progress...
I did not know about the forum.
I just wanted to know if Office 365 will work entirely with Office Professional 2010 and include Lync with a paid monthly subscription of Office 365? if I purchase Office Professional 2010 without subscribibg to a license to buy OfficeProfessional Pro Plus. I only need Outlook 2010, but I may buy the Offcie professional 2010 from i.e Lenovo Tablet computer deal.
Thanks for letting me know about the apps you cannot use on Office 365. I'm thinking that for the meantime, I probably will not get Office professional 2010, nor Plus.
Would you know if the Web Apps without Plus will work, including the Outlook Web App.
I'm still on the Trial version, and I didn't download Office professional Plus.
Thanks, if you know about this as well.
Web apps works fine all by itself. Like hotmail with webapps

TORONTO (AP) - The top executive of Verizon says the U.S. wireless giant "never really seriously looked" at entering the Canadian market."
There had been reports that Verizon would bid on two smaller wireless companies in Canada and on wireless spectrum.
Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam said Tuesday any plan is "off the table at this point."
Shares in Canada's big three telecom companies surged on the news.
Shares of Rogers jumped almost 7 percent, BCE rose 4 percent, and Telus surged 7 percent. The companies complained Verizon would be given an unfair advantage to bid on spectrum.
The Canadian government wants to introduce more competition. Canadians have long complained of expensive wireless plans and poor service.
Verizon announced it is buying the 45 percent of its wireless business owned by British cellphone carrier Vodafone.

Touchstone software turns data collected from RF Explorer spectrum analyzers into highly graphical charts and displays, enabling users to more readily visualize the RF environment, monitor RF signals, troubleshoot RF issues, and detect sources of RF interference.
Nuts About Nets has created two different variations of the software -- standard and professional. The standard version is free and the professional version is only $49 USD. The table below summarizes their differences:
For evaluation purposes feel free to download the software applications. Without the RF Explorer device the software runs in a fully functional 'Demo mode' using simulated data.
In addition to running as a standalone, handheld device, RF Explorer can be connected to a PC where Windows software (e.g. Touchstone) is used to provide enhanced functionality and data analysis. The connection is made using a mini USB cable. (NOTE: A high quality USB cable should be used in order to limit EMC interference from the PC that could influence your measurements.)
Documentation for Touchstone can be found here.
Touchstone continuously scans and samples the signal strength (dBm) of frequencies in the range the user has specified. In the 'Spectrum Trace' view the signal strength data (in dBm) is displayed as a function of frequency.
The 'Waterfall History' view is also known as a "heatmap" graph. It provides a color-based visualization of the RF level and activity over time. As signal levels for specific frequencies or frequency ranges increase and decrease, the waterfall map varies its colors. This feature provides a quick glance back into the sweep history to identify aberrations or fluctuation in frequency levels.
The 'Topographic Map' chart shows accumulated RF energy as a function of frequency. The power of the signal strength in dBm is shown across the frequency span. A signal strength with a relatively low occurrence is 'blueish' in color, whereas increasingly brighter colors are used for signal strengths that occur more frequently. Signal strengths that occur most often are 'redish' in color. Over time, this spectral view will approximate the steady-state RF energy signature of a given environment.
The 'Delta Trace' view can be used to view small (or large) changes in the RF spectrum over time. Here's how it works... When scanning begins the first trace is saved as a 'snapshot'. For all subsequent scans, the snapshot trace is subtracted from the current trace and the difference, i.e. 'delta', is displayed. Plotting the data in this way makes it easy to detect RF changes that occurred since the initial 'snapshot'.
The 'Threshold Trace' view highlights with a yellow box those frequencies whose signal strength exceeds a user-defined threshold. This feature is especially useful for visually emphasizing strong signals (and deemphasizing weak ones), where the user gets to define 'strong' and 'weak' according to where they set the threshold..
'Monitored Frequencies' mode allows you to monitor specific frequencies. For example, in the setting of a live performance where it is important to monitor the channels that have been assigned to wireless audio devices, this feature can be used to ensure those channels are not being impacted by other sources of RF transmissions. Alternatively, if there are wireless devices that transmit at specific frequencies and you wish to monitor their transmissions, then this mode can be used to verify they are currently operating.
'Monitored Bands' mode allows you to monitor specific frequency bands. For example, in a cell-phone free area, the this feature can be used to monitor the frequency bands used by cell phones for the purpose of detecting prohibited transmissions.
RF Explorer spectrum analyzer is a very unique device. Together with Touchstone software you now have an RF diagnostic tool unmatched in price and performance. Armed with the ability to monitor RF signals, detect RF interference and view all RF activity that occurs in your environment, solving wireless problems just got a whole lot easier.
Reviewing our product highlights is a good place to begin and will give you a better idea of the kinds of wireless diagnostic tools we develop and support.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Furloughed federal government workers have filed more than 10,000 claims for unemployment benefits in the District of Columbia as the government shutdown has persisted nearly a week.
D.C. Department of Employment Services spokeswoman Najla Haywood says the claims filed by Monday represent a major increase. Under the district's recent unemployment rate, the agency usually receives 600 unemployment claims per week.
In Maryland, there had been 14,000 federal unemployment claims as of Friday morning. That's nearly four times the number of claims from federal workers in an entire year.
Congress has begun taking steps to provide retroactive pay to federal workers when the government reopens. If workers receive retroactive pay, they will have to pay back any unemployment benefits.
Virginia employment officials did not immediately provide an update on claims Monday.

Before the end of the year, I'm going to have some kind of home recording set-up.
It looks like most people in this group use their computer. Can someone recommend a stand-alone recorder for individual use (I don't envision needing to record more than 2 tracks at a time, but I do want the capacity to mix down certain tracks once I've decided a musical thought is complete)?
I'm also thinking of the GR 55 guitar synth. The You-Tubes I've seen show a lot of progress has been made by the Roland people.
The answer to this lies in your budget, your enthusiasm for gadgets, your tolerance for menus, your target medium, and your quality goals. You can do overdubs and 4 channel mixes with bouncing on some small pocket recorders, working very much like a Portastudio. Or you can do full blown 16 track mixes with faders and metering and CD output.
Most of these tools seem to me to be harder to use than a computer, though. I use recorders for capture a lot, but I almost always do post processing in the computer.
Hi Earl, I am with Alex Cummings on this...I love my iMAC and Logic Pro 9 software! I tried using digital recorders and really wanted it to work, but was soon frustrated by the lack of being able to see what I was doing on that little "green-screen" that only shows one or two functions at a time. They have probably come a long way since I used one, but I still stand my iMAC and Logic! Logic has a somewhat steep learning curve, but between self-help manuals and free tutorials on YouTube, I was up and running for what I do pretty fast! So, let us know what you decide on and how it works...if you decide on Logic, please join our users group here in the AG Community!
Here is the direct link:
You will find both Alex and I there, along with a bunch more recordists with all levels of expertise and experience!
Thanks, Edward

EF members,
I have received a number of personal messages about optics. I like answering Personal Messages, and getting to know other members in that way. However, I thought bringing the discussion to the general forum would be beneficial, as several points of view can be developed.
I had a PM today about the difference between the EL and SLC lines in Swarovski's lineup. I thought I would give a rundown of the differences that I have found in Swarovski's lineup.
The CL (Companion) line: This is Swarovski's entry level line. The components are quality BAK4 glass, fully multicoated lens surfaces, and a compact composite body. I have seen these binoculars and think they are really nice ergonomically, but they have a limited field of view, and show noticeable levels of pincushion distortion and chromatic abberration.
The SLC neu line is being phased out. This is the workhorse line from Swarovski. Glass is high-grade BAK4 with Swarovski's excellent trademarked coatings (Swarodur, Swarotop, Swaroclean). Most of the models in this line are very well optimized. They are known for wide sweets spots, deep depth of field, low distortion, and good aberration control.
The EL line was a game-changer in optic design. The EL was the first open bridge binocular design, and left other makers scrambling to copy it. The technology in the ELs is the same as the SLC neu, using the same grades of glass and coatings. The optical designs are a little different, and the images end up a little different as well.
To answer the PM I had that started this post, the differences between the EL and SLC neu are mostly in build design (open bridge vs. piano hinge) Allbinos.com rates the SLC neu 10X42 optically higher than the 10X42 EL in their testing, but it does not take into account the ergonomics of the open bridge. Personally, I think the images are extraordinarily similar, with the EL showing a little more pincushion distortion, field curvature, and edge CA. Both provide world class images.
Now Swarovski has upped the ante with their latest super-performing, super-expensive binoculars. I believe the primary reason they have gone to such lengths and expense is from competition from lower priced binoculars. In any case, the newest Swarovski bins perform at a very high level.
The SLC-HD series is similar in design to the SLC neu, but incorporates flourite glass in the objective. This reduces CA. Allbinos.com seemed to find CA in their test sample, but I have looked at the SLC-HD every chance I have gotten. I don't see it, and I am pretty sensitive to CA. The SLC-HD provides the finest binocular view in the world in my opinion. It has just enough pincushion distortion to avoid the rolling ball effect. IT has little to no field curvature. The result is super high levels of apparent resolution. It is a very impressive instrument. The single birdge design is also very comfortable to me.
The EL Swarovision series is a large, long double bridge design with every bell and whistle. The image in the Swarovision is just like the SLC-HD, except extremely flat. There is no discernable field curvature or distortion, to my eye. I can't see any CA at all. The stable image is just about perfect. The only issue with the Swarovision is the lack of distortion. It is so flat, that the rolling ball is quite pronounced to me when panning. Perhaps with time I owuld become accustomed to it. But, I don't know why I would try it, when the SLC-HD has the same image, with just enough "bend" to ease the rolling ball.
Those are my impressions. What are yours?

Unusual recruits
Iraq | Comedians and peace moms take note: even as the casualty list grows, Ivy Leaguers and honor students are signing up to serve
As you're reading this, National Honor Society member Caity Swanson, 18, of Audubon, N.J., is likely cranking out one . . . more . . . pushup . . . under the stern eye of an Army drill sergeant at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. Princeton University senior Ross Williams, 21, is finalizing his plans to check out of the Ivy League and into the Marine Corps. And Congressional Award winner Asher Strassner, 18, just shipped out from his home in Houston to Navy boot camp in Great Lakes, Ill.
When Mr. Strassner signed up to begin basic training in August, he had no way of knowing the month would prove a brutal one in Iraq. American forces so far this month have lost at least 63 souls, including three Tennessee National Guard soldiers from the 278th Regimental Combat Team, who died Aug. 14 in a rocket-propelled grenade attack.
Families of the fallen grieve, some bitterly, like Cindy Sheehan, who since Aug. 6 has staged a mini war-protest outside George W. Bush's Texas ranch. Others, like Gary Reese of Ashland, Tenn., grieve proudly. His son, Sgt. Gary Lee Reese, 22, of the 278th, "is the only one from the town to die in the war," Mr. Reese told the Chattanooga Times Free Press. "He is someone I'm really proud to be the father of."
Mr. Reese believes "bad-mouthing" the war dishonors the dead. Meanwhile, even as casualties mount, thousands of young people are still signing up to serve, with only the Army and National Guard now falling short of recruiting goals. When widespread shortfalls made news earlier this year, comedian Bill Maher used the occasion to reinforce the stereotype that America scrapes its military from the bottom of the population barrel.
Quota-missing Army recruiters had, Mr. Maher quipped, "done picked all the low-lying Lyndie England fruit. And now we need warm bodies."
Ms. England, of course, is accused of abusing prisoners at Abu Ghraib. And Mr. Maher isn't the first person to suggest that the U.S. military is mainly a refuge for the depraved or desperate. In a May 2003 graduation speech at Rockford College, New York Times reporter Chris Hedges said the nation's fighting forces are made up mostly of "poor kids from Mississippi or Alabama or Texas who could not get a decent job or health insurance and joined the Army because it was all we offered them."
Is the military stereotype accurate? Karl Zinsmeister doesn't think so. During three stints as an embedded reporter in Iraq-the most recent in May 2005-the American Enterprise editor-in-chief met farm boys, poor boys, and boys escaping dead-end blue-collar towns. But he also encountered Cornell grads, Ph.D. candidates, and high-tech wunderkinds, and wrote about them in his 2003 book Boots on the Ground.
It was love, not desperation or a lack of prospects, that propelled honor student and all-state vocalist Caity Swanson into the Army: love of language. As a junior, Caity's 3.9 GPA qualified her for the National Honor Society, while A's in Spanish earned her acceptance into the Spanish National Honor Society. She realized she wanted to pursue foreign-language translation as a vocation, and she began exploring colleges that offered a major in linguistics. But though her parents earn a good living-dad Chuck works in the pharmaceutical industry and mom Andria is an R.N.-good programs were too expensive.
Then as a senior, Caity, like thousands of American high-school students, took the military entrance exam. An Army recruiter saw her score-93 out of 99-and called her last December. That's when she learned about her dream school: The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) in Monterey, Calif., the largest foreign language school in the world.
After careful discussion with her parents, Caity enlisted. She's now looking forward to learning a new language by immersion, packing two weeks of traditional college instruction into each day during the year-long course, and learning from native speakers. "The way they teach a foreign language is the way I want to learn it," she said.
She doesn't know which language yet-the military assigns that based on a student's ability and the government's need. But it's likely to be a tough one: Caity blew away the Defense Language Battery, qualifying her to learn any language the Institute offers, including those considered most difficult, like Chinese or Arabic.
With the war on terrorism, and Middle Eastern languages high on the Defense Department's wish list, is Caity worried she'll wind up in Iraq? "Wherever the Army sends me, I'm fine," she said in a June 30 phone interview, five days before heading out for boot camp. "God is in control. Whatever He wants for me, that's what I'm going to do."
Houston homeschool graduate Asher Strassner feels the same way. In February he enlisted in the Navy as a hospital corpsman and signed up for Fleet Marine Forces (FMF) training, a school he hopes will land him a job as a combat medic in Iraq.
"When other people ask me how scared I am, I tell them not at all," he said. "That might seem like the typical teen who thinks he's invincible. But if it's my time to die, I will, whether it's in Iraq or crossing the street. . . . If God wants me to live only 18 or 19 years-or to be 100-it's up to Him."
Asher told WORLD his job is to glorify God, not himself. He seems to have been busy about that task, chalking up high grades and high scores on college aptitude tests. In June, he earned the Congressional Award, an honor Congress established in 1979 to recognize initiative, achievement, and service in young people.
To win it, Asher completed a two-year program: He volunteered for 450 hours in a Houston hospital, learned horticulture and landscaping, became a top-ranked junior golfer, and organized a camping expedition that followed the Texas Independence Trail.
Not exactly your Maher-style military down-and-outer. So Asher surprised even himself when he decided to join the Navy. "Weeks before I enlisted, I never would have considered the military," he said. "My friends were surprised . . . but I didn't think I was ready for college. I thought if I went to college in the fall, I'd end up goofing off and getting bad grades."
Bound for boot camp this month, then corpsman and FMF training, Asher could touch down in Iraq late next year. He's hoping that's where he winds up.
"I have a friend in the Army who just got back and he's always telling us that the negative stuff we hear in the media [about American progress in Iraq] is 99 percent made up," Asher said. "He tells about all the Iraqis who love the Americans. . . . I think that's very interesting. I'd like to see that myself."
Ross Williams would like to see it, too, which is why the Princeton senior chose the Marine Corps, a ground force, instead of a more high-tech but remote branch like the Air Force or the Navy. "It's more personal. You interact more with the culture you're protecting," Ross said. "I didn't want to go into the service looking for a spot where I'd feel more comfortable. I wanted to choose the spot I'll get most out of."
If his resumé is any indication, Ross, 21, will give as much as he gets. At his high school in Oyster Bay, N.Y.-a small town he describes as "close enough to New York City that you could smell September 11"-he served as student body president and graduated third in his class with a 4.0 GPA. He also earned all-state honors in vocal competition and made the all-county team as a long-distance runner.
Now a Princeton political science major who rows for his school's nationally ranked crew team, Ross had originally been accepted to West Point. "But I was told by a couple of cadets that if I wanted any sort of academic college life, I should go to a different school."
After completing his degree next spring, Ross plans to attend a 10-week officer training course in Quantico, Va., then accept a Marine Corps commission. His grandfather served as a Marine during World War II, and Ross said he also feels a call to serve his country, to do "something I'd enjoy looking back on, something I could be proud that I'd done."

Very sweet, joao paulo! Thanks for posting and have some rep and rating!
Good one for the hand drawn crew. Sure there must be ways with Gimp etc where you can flip or rotate the image and get it to do that without the pair of compasses tho.
Nice tho.

Thank you JP Cruz,
I hand draw my map and map elements first, and was just beginning to think about drawing a compass rose surrounding my map title. This gives me an excelent focus for beginning. Thank you for your effort here. It is greatly appreciated!

This is a HUGE stretch for us. We MUST hit 2-2, hopefully somehow we can manage 3-1. Going into Michigan with 5 straight wins would be really nice.
We have to progress a LOT this week. I think we will know a lot more about the future of this team in the very near future.
2-2 ain't gonna do it. Mich. is only acceptable loss.

Something tells me these guys will step up against better competition. Just wait till Royce faces another down low force. it should light the fire all of us have been waiting to see. I think once these guys decide that defense wins games and play with that same force, very few teams will beat them.

No way is losing to Providence, Rice, or UNI acceptable. Therefore anything worse than 3-1 is unacceptable. In my opinion, we can make up for the Drake loss by beating Michigan.
We will know a lot about the rest of the season within two weeks.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Hoping for 3-1 with a loss at Michigan. However, I think we will know if we lose to Providence tonight that we will go at best 2-2 or less likely 1-3
Anything besides 4-0 is unacceptable! Have to come out of non conference with only 1 loss

either way it will be great on this site. We win? great. We lose....the meltdown will be epic and popcorn worthy.
Carrying the banner for ISU.
I join those in the 3-1 is minimum boat.
Have a gut feeling Providence will be a close loss. So an upset at U-M would be necessary.
Cannot lose to Rice or UNI.

You're hoping we lose to Michigan?
I agree that we should go 3-1 over these games. But what "unacceptable" about losing two? What are you going to do, give up on the team? It's just a strange word to use.

At 9:30 this morning, the last load of laundry for the weekend went into the washer. 9:30am. On Friday.
The birthday present for the surprise party Husband and I are attending tonight? Was purchased and wrapped last Friday. One whole week early.
The new blouse I am going to wear? The black, silk, sleeveless, gorgeous, new blouse? I planned out the rest of the outfit last night, which includes even special "foundation garments" that have already been purchased and are just lying in wait.
[You know where this is going, don't you? You have that feeling of doom? The one I should have had when I realized everything was falling so nicely into place? Oh, yes, yes, you do.]
The fact that I kept forgetting to call the sitter, despite being so excited about an evening out with my husband at a swanky jazz club? Doesn't matter because my delightful neighbor offered to have the kids for a sleep-over with her son, and insisted that I bring them over an hour before we have to leave, so that I can have time to shower and do make-up and get ready like a proper grown up. And then the children will sleep over, so we not only don't have to pay a small fortune to a sitter: we also don't have to be home at any particular time, and we don't have to be worried that someone will creep into our room in the middle of the night...
By 1:00 this afternoon, I had spent an hour and a half volunteering at my son's school doing a creative and engaging art project with the class while teaching them about the great Louis Comfort Tiffany. The grocery shopping was all done and put away, and I had even organized the pantry to boot.
And then, at 1:23? It all came crashing down.
Hello, stomach flu. Not the slightest bit nice to see you. As much as my poor daughter hates you right now? I hate you even more.
It is a fair bet, however, that my son will not catch this bug from her. How do I know, you ask? Because he is supposed to attend a birthday party tomorrow. One for which there is no present as yet purchased, let alone wrapped. One for which I am not even sure the location and will certainly have to scramble to determine the where and when. And because we are completely unprepared for this party, nothing will stand in the way of his attendance.
Just as, because I am completely prepared for the jazz club birthday tonight, with its famous chef, and its grown up conversation, and its black silk attire, and its empty house afterwards, I will not be able to attend.
Because that is the Birthday Party Principle.
If you are the mother of a pre-schooler.

First let me stop nodding profusely. Just last Saturday, similar situation- we had planned to meet friends for dinner and then house party afterwards. Brother was to baby sit my daughter. Done and done. I put her to bed on time, get ready. She is a bit fidgety and refusing to sleep. Normal coersion not working and then I figure she is warm. There is no way I could go ahead. So changed out of my party clothes, washed the make up away. Send husband so at least someone has a better time and then stayed home....!
aaaah. Perfect Evening principle it should be called!

That just sucks. I am sorry that you won't be able to go out tonight.
I have a theory called the 10% Theory which stuff like what you just described happens to me. And you not being able to go out tonight would fit into the 10% Theory for sure.
And I know what you mean about the birthday party things. That is usually how it works for me as well.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear it. Same here. We FINALLY make plans with another couple for the first time in a YEAR for tomorrow night and my second son came home sick from school today. And my oldest son also has a birthday party to attend tomorrow (which I am completely ready for). So it stands to reason he'll wake up sick as well. Now if the other two get it, it will be the Perfect Storm and we'll just throw in the towel and give in to a Family Weekend of Nastiness. Bah humbug!

Local wrestlers shine at Sprig Gardner
1 2 Next page >
Mepham not only captured the team championship at the annual Sprig Gardner Wrestling Tournament with 308 points — 60.5 more than runner-up Brooklyn Tech — in early December, that also featured district rivals Kennedy (third place, 211 points) and Calhoun (seventh, 122), the Pirates swept the individual awards.
Mepham senior Tom Mauro, a 132-pounder who racked up 24 pins among his 25 wins last season, had the most pins in the least amount of time at the Sprig Gardner, racking up four in a total of just 5:41 on the mat. Classmate Dan Tracy, a returning All-County Champion, was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler, while junior Louis Hernandez (152 pounds), also a returning County Champ, was named the Mepham Alumni Outstanding Wrestler.
"Some of the guys have been in the program for three, four, five years," Pirates coach Rich Anderson said, noting his team finished among the Top 10 in Nassau County last season. "It's like a well-oiled machine with the kids knowing what we expect."
Mepham had six individual champions crowned in all over the annual two-day tournament battled on both the Pirates and Colts home mats. Sophomore Joel Zambrano took the title at 99 pounds, senior Tyler Clougher finished first at 160 pounds with a 7-4 overtime victory, and senior Steven Lambert took a 16-5 decision in the finals at 182 pounds, joining Mauro, Tracy and Hernandez in the Winners' Circle. Senior Jamie Dunn, a returning All-County performer, took second at 106 pounds, as did junior Matt Assael at 145 pounds, who dropped a 9-0 decision to Kennedy senior Rich Luxmore, in the 145-pound finals.
The Cougars other champion, senior Robert Person (120 pounds), is no stranger to coming out on top. Already the all-time winningest wrestler in Kennedy history (149 career victories, including a 12-0 mark this season), he won his fifth Sprig Gardner title. "He's only the second five-time winner [at the tournament] since 1975 so that's a pretty big deal," his coach, Brian DeGaetano said.

Your Ultimate Guide to Greens: 15 Greens, What They Do, and How to Eat Them
Growing up, most of us were told at some point to "eat our greens." We may not have listened at the time, but maybe we should have. As a group, leafy green vegetables, or "greens," are known for their bounty of health benefits. As a whole, they are great sources of vitamins A and C, and each green has its own broad nutritional profile.
We share 15 greens, why you need to eat them, why they're so good for you, and even recipes to best prepare and enjoy them!

Everyone knows times are tough; that's not breaking news to anyone.
But I was struck by the opposite stances of that fact in the stories of two longtime Rifle businesses.
As you read in this week's Citizen Telegram, one of them, the Rusty Cannon Motel, plans to close the doors on its 88 rooms toward the end of the month. The other, Timberline Sporting Goods, left its longtime downtown location for a much larger site about a block away.
People weren't staying enough nights at the Rusty Cannon, I guess, to keep it going. But the brothers Rider, Kevin and Bryan, at Timberline, are planning to expand their goods and even offer an indoor archery range for target practice and competitive shooting.
You can't get any more different in outlooks than that on the local economy, perhaps even the national economy.
While it's sad to think we'll soon bid goodbye to the more than three decades of lodging hospitality the Rusty Cannon offered travelers, visitors, hunters and energy workers, it's good to know a downtown Rifle business feels confident it's going to be around a while longer to invest in its livelihood.
The Rusty Cannon's closure is also troubling, since it will hurt the city's tourism promotion efforts. With 88 fewer rooms to charge the 2.5 percent lodging tax, that revenue is lost as well. So it could turn into a downward spiral.
There used to be eight lodging establishments in Rifle before the natural gas slowdown in 2009. Now there's five. As usually happens in the boom and bust cycle, people build for what they think the future holds, but no one has been or ever will be totally accurate in predicting anything. And eventually what goes around, comes around.
On a more positive note, the Rider brothers are hoping their business expansion plans will bear fruit by offering different goods and services. As Kirk Rider told me, an archery range is something he has felt Rifle needed and would support for a long time.
Makes some sense when you think about all the bow hunters - a growing portion of the hunting population - and the popularity of archery among the younger generation, thanks to the book and movie "The Hunger Games."
Rifle has had a downtown sporting goods store for about as long as the Rusty Cannon has welcomed guests. While it looks like we're losing one, the other seems intent to stick around a while longer.
I'd hazard a guess those two opposite viewpoints pretty much sum up this country's mood and outlook, wouldn't you? Some people are glass half empty, others half full. That's likely been the case since people voiced differing opinions.
Only time will tell which Rifle business sipped sweetly of what was before them, and which one wished for a second round.

VMI Alumni records are a rich resource for historians and genealogists. This page highlights the Patton family's connection with VMI--Gen. George S. Patton of World War II fame (shown at right as VMI Cadet, 1903) and his ancestors who attended VMI, including his father, grandfather, and great uncles. Four of seven Patton brothers attended VMI during the mid-19th century, including George S. Patton (VMI Class of 1852), General Patton's grandfather. They were the sons of John Mercer Patton and Margaret French Williams.

BALTIMORE (AP) - Maryland health officials say they have identified a third patient in the state who developed meningitis after receiving a steroid injection in September.
The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene announced Saturday that it had confirmed the third case. But the agency says no specific information will be released about the patient.
Two other Maryland cases had been previously confirmed. One patient has died.
Nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the outbreak has spread to more than 60 people across nine states. The outbreak has been linked to a steroid produced by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts. The steroid has been recalled.

Greensboro, NC -- You may remember we told you about Angel Hands Home Care earlier this year. The company refurbishes wheelchairs and canes and gives them to people in need.
In April, they didn't have enough wheelchairs to meet the demand -- so we passed word of the need along to our viewers. And boy, did you respond! People started donating wheelchairs almost immediately.
Now, Angel Hands and News 2 have come full circle. Bobby Garner suffered a stroke in 1992 that paralyzed his whole left side. He's been without a wheelchair since December and can only walk about 20 feet at a time using his cane. He learned about Angel Hands by watching WFMY News 2, and on May 9th, they brought him a new motorized wheelchair of his own.
Garner said, "I tried since December to get something with my insurance companies and medicare and all the things you got to do and got no result, but this worked out perfect. It sure did. I would like to thank the person I got it from, I mean that donated it. They've done me a big favor, they sure did."
And the wheelchair almost became a birthday gift as Garner celebrated his 72nd birthday Sunday.

Amazing Odds & Ends - Junkyard BuilderWritten by on March 1, 2012 Discovered: Another Amazing Old Yard!
The premise behind the junkyard series is to spur your imagination and highlight the hot-rodding potential of many low-buck, salvage-yard items. Sometimes we zero in on a specific part or assembly that can be adapted for better performance. Other times we merely expose forgotten treasure troves--and let you decide what's useful.
This month we chart the latter course with another bouquet of eye candy and imagination ammunition. Let's take a gander at the incredible stash of vintage relics we found at Bernardston Auto Wrecking (BAW) in Bernardston, Massachusetts. Unlike some of the salvage-yard treasures we've highlighted in the past, all of what you see here is safe from the crusher--and available for purchase. See something you can't live without? Just give yard boss Bud Hastings a call at 413/648-9300 and work out a deal. Special thanks to "Hemi Head Fred" Leigh for turning us on to Bernardston Auto Wrecking.
Groovy Factoids
*Bernardston, Massachusetts, was first settled in 1738 and is named after Governor Francis Bernard, who was royal governor at the time of incorporation.
*The Mercury division often fought to maintain a unique identity. But more often than not, Mercury cars were perceived as either glorified Fords or dressed-down Lincolns. Such are the perils of attempting to saturate every nook and cranny of the vast domestic automotive marketplace.

Book him, Dano! Looking like a Hawaii Five-O refugee, this '67 Mercury Monterey four-door sedan wears VIN 7Z44Y571360 and what appears to be its original lime-green paint. The fifth digit is the engine code, and in this case Y tells us this one was born with a big-block 390 two-barrel making 270 hp. Interestingly, while many same-year Ford fullsize models could be ordered with 240-cube straight-six and 289 small-block V8 power, Mercury's full-size engine selection was limited to FE big-block in 1967. In addition to the base 390 two-barrel, Mercury also offered the 330hp 410 four-barrel (engine code M; $62.15) and 345hp 428 four-barrel (engine code Q; cost $143.90).Inside, we're shocked to discover a three-on-the-tree manual transmission in place of the more predictable automatic. Its original equipment status is backed up by transmission code 1 on the body-number plate. Using this gearbox saved the original owner $226.79, the cost of the optional Merc-O-Matic (aka Ford C6) automatic transmission. The rear axle code reads 1, signaling an open Ford 9-inch diff with 3.00:1 gears.Nearby, we stumbled onto the torch-severed front clip that still packs the 390/three-speed motive unit. The all-synchro, cast-iron, Ford-sourced unit was also offered by GM as the base transmission offering in midsize muscle cars such as the Pontiac GTO, Olds 4-4-2 and Buick GS. Mercury built a total of 72,535 Montereys in 1967, of which 15,177 were four-door sedans.We spotted this rare Pontiac eight-lug aluminum wheel on the rear axle of a '65 Grand Prix. Though Pontiac's print ads depicted a '66 GTO wearing these gorgeous wheels, they were only available on fullsize models between 1960 and 1968. Manufactured for Pontiac by Kelsey-Hayes, each finned-aluminum drum has an integrally cast iron brake liner that contacts the brake shoes when applied. Given the average cost of around $140, we're surprised more buyers of fullsize Pontiacs didn't opt for these beautiful rollers.Speaking of unusual Pontiac brake options, here's a lone example of a rare GTO 9.5x2.5-inch aluminum front drum brake assembly. Since the GTO's standard cast-iron 9.5x2.5 front/9.5x2.0 rear drum brakes were shared with six-cylinder Tempests, enhanced stopping power was welcomed. Available from 1965 to 1966 under option code 442, the aluminum front drum-brake option didn't increase the meager 269.8 square inches of swept area, but the finned-aluminum construction (with bonded steel liners) shed a few pounds and was more effective at rapidly dissipating heat to ward off brake-pedal fade. In 1967, Pontiac introduced optional Delco-Moraine front disc brakes that boosted the swept area to 350.9 square inches. The aluminum front drum-brake option was quietly discontinued. When new, these aluminum drum brakes received a coat of red paint to enhance visibility and street status.Finding a Chevy 427 big-block in the boneyard ought to be cause for celebration, right? Not when it's a truck engine. These things are much more common than passenger car 427s. This one's in a '73 Chevy C60 5-ton tow truck. The hassle is that the truck 427 (and its 366-inch sibling) uses a block with a raised deck height (10.2-inch versus 9.8-inch for passenger-car blocks). The extra height wasn't there for added displacement but rather to accommodate taller pistons with three compression rings instead of two. The extra ring and skirt length were intended to enhance cylinder sealing and add stability to the piston for reduced bore wear. While Pro Stock racers in the early '70s sought these blocks for their ability to yield maximum displacement, they were never a big hit with the street and strip crowd. You can generally get better results with a garden-variety 454 buildup.Above: The custom-extruded aluminum grille insert and vintage fenderwell header displayed with this '55 Chevy 150 sedan tells us it was once somebody's hot rod. Still loaded with a small-block of undetermined might, this rusty critter is unlikely to see salvation anytime soon. Still, BAW honcho Bud Hastings remains staunch that none of his cars will meet the crusher. This One-Fifty two-door sedan is one of 66,833 built. Elsewhere in the yard we also spotted a '55 Handyman 210 series two-door station wagon, an austere, one-of-29, 419-built alter ego to the posh Nomad.Below: As a new car, the Firebird Formula 350 was the best big-engine-in-small-car themed performance model of the decade. The 5.0L Mustang LX may have been quicker, but it wasn't nearly as intimidating. Enjoying a six-year production run from 1987 through 1992, the Formula 350 was essentially a stripped down Firebird with a Corvette 350. The only hassle was that these 5.7L wailers were an automatic-only proposition; the five-speed stick was only available in lesser 205hp LB9 305-powered Firebird Formulas. Verifying an actual 5.7-powered Formula 350 is as simple as checking the eighth symbol of the VIN for the number 8. For example, this '89 wears the CC1 T-top roof, a $920 option that was shunned by the more hard-core street racers for its added heft and flex-inducing attributes.
The mighty L98 Tuned Port Injection (TPI) 5.7L small-block was unveiled as a Corvette- only powerplant in 1985 and delivered a heady 230 hp, and, more important, 330 lb-ft of torque. As Ford's Mustang GT and LX grew more potent with each passing year, rumors swirled that Camaro and Firebird would soon offer the L98 to keep pace. In 1987, GM delivered, and torque monster L98-powered F-bodies began making Ford drivers sweat a little more. Of the various 350-powered Firebird models available (Trans Am, GTA and Formula), the Formula 350 offered the best bang for the buck. Consider this: an L98-powered Firebird GTA cost $20,339 versus $13,949 for the Formula 350. Sadly, this sleek black Formula's Mustang taunting days are over.The inverted corpse lying atop the Chevy pickup truck is all that remains of a '69 four-speed Road Runner hardtop. The victim of a fierce garage blaze, the car's VIN and fender tag were vaporized, so we don't know if it was born with a 383, 440 Six Barrel, or 426 Street Hemi. But we can add other clues to get the answer.The 11x3-inch front drum brakes and sway bar are standard issue on every Road Runner (unless it's ordered with optional front disc brakes). The lack of a rectangular skidplate welded to the bottom of the K-frame greatly reduces the likelihood it's a Hemi car. Sure, the K-frame is a bolt-on item that could have been changed. But . . .The forward leaf spring–mounting bulkheads do not feature the welded-on stiffening caps or "torque boxes" found on Hemi Road Runners. So we can pretty much rule out Hemi status. But is it a rare A12 440 Six Barrel car, or a more common 383 offering?The presence of conventional hood hinges (lacking on A12 Six Barrel cars, which featured pin-on fiberglass hoods) and the close proximity of this equally charred 383 pretty much confirm this Runner to be a "basic" 383 car. The heat melted the rare dual-point, tach drive distributor, finned-aluminum valve covers, and Carter AFB choke housing, but the Edelbrock Torker II single-plane intake manifold was spared. The iron, four-speed bellhousing looks salvageable but should be checked for heat-induced warping and cracks.

Fontainebleau's Hardest Repeated
Frenchman Guillaume Glairon Mondet has squeezed up The Big Island (V15), making a rare repeat of Fontainebleau's hardest problem."I have tried The Big Island for three years," Mondet told Rock and Ice. "And after 10 to 12 sessions, I was able to do it during my first session this winter."
Mondet confirms the problem's difficulty, saying, "For me it's of course harder than the V14s I've done."
Located in the Coquibus Rumont sector of the Fontainebleau, The Big Island was established by Font local Vincent Pochon in 2010. However, the problem's original start was first climbed by Dave Graham in April 2008, but began two moves higher. This version, named The Island by Graham, is slightly easier according to Mondet.
"I never tried The Island because for me The Big Island is more obvious," said Mondet. "It adds only two or three moves around V8, but it was scary for me because I had no crash pad for the first four moves, and it's a bit harder of course."
Frenchman Lucas Menegatti first repeated The Big Island in 2011, and the third ascent fell to the South African Arjan De Kock in November 2012. Mondet has made the fourth ascent.
Check out the video of Mondet's ascent.

I work as a school secretary. Most of my administrative duties are services for the principal, several social workers and classroom teachers. I am constantly mailing out letters and information to the parents and guardians of our students. Administration was opposed to the use of labels for these mailings; they did not think labelled envelopes would look professional. I convinced them to let me try these functional and attractive labels. I love the ease and efficiency of both the product and template. Our student/parent list is constantly in a changing pattern. With this template, I am able to type 30 individual addresses. When student information changes, I can select one label on the template to make my corrections. I discovered I can even alter the fonts on each individual label. I FELT LIKE DANCING AROUND MY DESK WHEN WE DISCOVERED YOUR WEBSITE AND TEMPLATES!!!

Comments about CrocsLights Cars™ Clog:
My boy was over the moon over these Cars Croclights! He had to keep them at school as his preschool has a strict "crocs only/no outside shoe" policy. When school let out in the summer these became his daily shoes. They even survived nature camp (which is a HUGE deal). My only complaint is that the lights in his right shoe stopped working during the summer. However, the shoes themselves still look great and will probably last him until he outgrows them. Great quality!

Q:Are these water proof ?Asked on 3/24/2016 by Kiki
1 answer
A:The lights are not waterproof. They should be good for rain, but not submerging them in water.Answered on 3/24/2016 by Cosmic Cassi from Crocs
Q:Hi, I was just wondering if these can be worn in water, splashing through creeks or stomping in mud puddles....because if my 3 yr. old Grandson is wearing them, that is where they will end up.Asked on 6/25/2015 by Marianne from United States
1 answer
A:Hi Marianne! As these shoes contain a battery I would not suggest submerging them in liquid of any sort; however, the battery is sealed so I would assume the shoe could withstand some contact with water (ex. splashing in a puddle).Answered on 6/26/2015 by Helpful Heather from Crocs

Born on May 9, 1979 in New York, NY, Dawson was raised by her father, Greg, a construction worker and her mother, Isabelle, a professional vocalist. Her upbringing, however, was anything but conventional. When she was six, her parents became squatters in an empty building which they spent years transforming into a habitable living space by rewiring the electricity and drawing water from a nearby fire hydrant. Some years later, while hanging out with friends on the stoop of her building, Dawson attracted the attention of screenwriter Harmony Korinne and controversial director Larry Clark, who had heard the 15-year-old laughing uproariously.

Hi all,
I had to restore a rather large mailbox (7.5GB) to a restored_ account on one of our servers that make use of HSM. The restore finished without errors or warnings. The restored_ account had ~30.000 items.
When the user accessed the restored_ mailbox he reported many "NO_SUCH_BLOB" errors in the WebUI. After investigation it turned out, that HSM items where not accessible through WebUI. However: the blobs were corretly restored (I found all the items in /opt/zimbra/hsm/0/<mailboxid> ). I was able to reindex the restored_ mailbox and it was possible to move the restored_ mailbox to another server (ZCS Multiserver install). But the problem persisted.
zmblobchk reported missing blobs in /opt/zimbra/store and unexpected blobs in /opt/zimbra/hsm (exactly the same amount). So I simply tried to copy all the items from /opt/zimbra/hsm to /opt/zimbra/store. The result was a error free mailbox....
I am not sure what is the expected behavior: should zmrestore put all blobs to /opt/zimbra/store or should /opt/zimbra/hsm be populated as well? However, BLOB referrences in mysql must match...
Can someone confirm this?
Thanx and regards

City smarts
Interview | Atlanta inner-city expert Robert Lupton rethinks ministry to the poor in a new book
"City smarts" Continued...
For more than 35 years Robert Lupton has worked to improve the lives of the poor in inner-city Atlanta. Through FCS Urban Ministries, which he directs, he has started and developed three mixed-income subdivisions with housing for hundreds of families, two multiracial churches, and many businesses and community services.
Lupton speaks from experience when he writes in his new book, Compassion, Justice and the Christian Life (Regal, 2007), "When individuals, like communities . . . abandon self-pity, self-indulgence and blame to face the hard work of building (or rebuilding) their lives, they have taken a giant step toward health. . . . It is a long journey from softhearted, one way charity to reciprocal, interdependent relationships." We asked him to show us some of the routes.
WORLD: Some argue that, despite the lying and substance abuse common among panhandlers, it's still "the Christian thing" to give money to all who ask. You write, "Could it be that our reluctance to give to the stranger on the street is much more than a reaction conditioned by cons we have fallen prey to? Could our hesitance be a righteous response from our spirit cautioning us that irresponsible giving is detrimental both to the recipient and the giver?" That's interesting; please explain.
LUPTON: Giving can be for better or for worse just as love can be responsible or irresponsible. What may seem like a compassionate and loving act may in fact be supporting a destructive pattern of manipulation and dependency. How can we know if our giving is actually helping or hurting? The only sure way is to be in relationship, to know the person well enough to assure that his request for assistance is legitimate and accompanied by accountability.
Obviously, this is not very practical when you walk past a panhandling stranger on the street. If the Spirit prompts you to drop change into his cup, then by all means respond.
Offering to take him to lunch is better-at least you get to know his name and how your money is being spent. But an even better alternative is to offer him a ride to a homeless ministry that is equipped to deal responsibly with men in his situation. It is far more charitable to give a contribution to support a homeless ministry than to drop change into a homeless person's cup. And the very best response-become a ministry volunteer and a personal friend to those in need.
WORLD: You write of your experience with a church's clothing giveaway: "As soon as the first customers came through the door, the spirit of charity that smiling volunteers exuded faded rapidly. A hoarding instinct (the same kind of I-gotta-get-mine impulse that seizes looting crowds) took over our customers as they grabbed and growled and stuffed as many clothes into as many trash bags as they could carry. It was pure bedlam. Rules had to be hastily enacted." Did the rules save the day?
LUPTON: The introduction of rules was like saying "Let the games begin!"
Recipients began immediately trying to figure out ways to beat the system-additional garments for their children who were in school, extra clothes for a sick mother who could not get to the church. In no time we were behaving like temple police, guarding the resources of the Kingdom against the very people we were there to serve. This one-way giving produced an adversarial relationship between giver and recipient that was anything but charitable. The solution was obviously not in developing tighter controls.
WORLD: You then describe the advice you received from a supporting Atlanta church: "Sell the clothes; don't give them away. People will then buy only what they can afford. And if they have no clothing money, they can work in the store and earn what they need. This would produce cash flow, the men said, that would enable us to hire unemployed residents, train them in retail merchandising, and propel them into the economic mainstream." What happened next?
LUPTON: The conversion of the clothes closet into a thrift store was the very best decision we could have made. The men's group took this on as a missions project, helped us secure a suitable building, put together a sound business plan, and produced a self-sustaining retail operation that has served the community for more than 20 years now.
The change in the relationship between giver and recipient was dramatic. Recipients became valued customers. Instead of guarding against their greed, we studied ways to attract them into the store-bargain days, latest fashion arrivals, friendly customer service, lay-away options. We discovered that everyone loves a bargain but no one wants to be a charity case. And the reciprocal relationship was dignity-enhancing.
WORLD: You write about your ministry's experience in building new homes in a low-income area and finding out years later that many of them had become centers of criminal activity. What did that experience teach you, and what "decisive, corrective action" did you have to take?
LUPTON: Early on we believed that home ownership for poor families was sufficient to produce both pride and self-sufficiency. What we did not realize until some years down the road is that clustering these affordable homes together in one section of the community had the effect of concentrating poverty. Instead of property values appreciating and the neighborhood improving, homes deteriorated and negative attitudes and behaviors that often accompany chronic poverty took root.
Several of the homes we built became hang-outs for drug pushers and thieves. We eventually had to evict the residents, upgrade the homes, and sell them to stable, middle-income families whose commitment and leadership were strong enough to establish positive norms in the community. We learned through painful and expensive lessons that health flourishes in mixed-income neighborhoods, not isolated blocks of poverty.
WORLD: You write about your community feeding program: "Over time our faithful volunteers who sacrificially gave up their time to prepare and serve hot meals and clean up afterward began to ask if the people they served ever got jobs and moved out of poverty. These same people, they observed, were in the food line every week and had been for many months. . . . Was this really helping the poor to get on their feet or was it fostering dependency?" Once you asked that question, what happened?
LUPTON: Eventually our volunteers asked the recipients to assist with cleaning up after the meal. They also invited recipients to help serve the meals. The distribution of canned goods, which was always a troublesome and often a quarrelsome process, improved as community residents took on a larger role in bagging and passing out the free food. This joint participation helped to improve relationships but it did not address the dependency issue.
Our current solution to these food challenges came with the creation of food co-ops. Community members who elected to join paid a couple dollars per week into a fund managed by the church to purchase surplus food from the city food bank. Co-op members order, pick up, sort, and deliver food for each other in an equitable manner. They often fix meals for each other at the church from the food they have purchased. In this way the poor take ownership and control of their own food program. It has worked quite well. We now have four co-ops with 40+ members in each.
WORLD: You describe a plan to open a big "drug treatment facility in an inner-city community that was plagued by drug abuse"-yet, when you saw that the neighborhood was starting to become gentrified, you opposed building the big facility and suggested that the organization instead buy a large old house or two and create a small program. Why?
LUPTON: A large treatment facility may well provide a much-needed service to a drug-infested neighborhood. But if that community is beginning to stir with new life and gentrification is bringing young professionals back, it is safe to assume that the number of addicted residents will soon be diminishing. In time the treatment center will need to draw its clients from other parts of the city, a practice that the reviving community will likely find objectionable-and for good reason.
If a neighborhood is to regain its health, the number of troubling and troubled residents must decrease. Any program that brings more need (or problems) into the community will find itself at cross-purposes with revitalization efforts. Establishing a treatment center in a large residence or two (as opposed to building an institutional facility) would allow a program to shrink in size and convert back to residential use when the need in the community decreases.
WORLD: You note the tendency of ministries, agencies, and institutions to "become self-serving, even when their stated mission is to serve others. They quite quickly form systems and strategies that favor the interests of the institutions over the people they serve and the communities where they are located." How can ministries avoid that common tendency?
LUPTON: I asked a group of PhDs in organizational development that same question when I was first setting up our ministry. They told me that I was asking them to "institutionalize non-institutionalization"-an impossible task. But I could retard the process, they told me. Don't hire staff. As soon as you do they will have a vested interest in preserving the organization for their own security. Instead, facilitate visionaries to carry out their callings.
A second suggestion was to avoid accumulating property-it has a voracious appetite for consuming time, money, maintenance, and management and diverts energy away from the mission. Finally, give away as much as we can. Give away credit, ministry rights, assets and instead be a servant organization that decreases so that others may increase. You can see, can't you, why so few organizations are truly self-giving?
WORLD: You conclude your book by explaining how those with business experience in areas such as real estate, merchandising, and marketing can use their "vision-casting, deal-making, product-promoting talents" to help the poor and build Christ's kingdom. What's the first step for such individuals?
LUPTON: A vision must be worthy of a business person's commitment. Most ministries ask far too little of their highly capable friends-a monetary donation, a scholarship for a needy kid, serve on a board. A vision comparable to one's capacities is more likely to elicit an excited response. A vision that is history-shaping, like transforming a housing project or even a whole neighborhood, or starting a school, a redemptive cause that challenges their abilities, is what captures the imagination of highly successful people.
Also, kings talk to kings. Once a leading business person gets involved in an exciting mission, they will inevitably go to their peers and solicit their help. One well-positioned business person can attract an untapped strata of resourced friends into a cause. But the vision must be compelling.

Doug Stanglin, USA TODAY
A web of semi-anonymous private and professional gun dealers is regularly advertising, negotiating and selling firearms by posting their wares on Instagram, then concluding the deals through private communication channels, The Daily Beast reports.
Because Instagram, which was recently bought by Facebook, is primarily a popular site to post photos and is not a commerce site like Craigslist, it has no stated policy banning the sale of firearms, The Daily Beast online news site says.
Instead, sellers display their wares - from antique guns to high-powered assault rifles - in photos, along with details, asking price and any additional equipment or ammunition that is available.
Federal laws generally don't cover private sales of firearms between individuals, while state laws vary widely and are hard to enforce.
"These are handguns, shotguns, assault rifles, and everything in between being sold in an open, pseudo-anonymous online marketplace," Brian Ries writes on The Daily Beast. "With no federal law banning online sales and differing, loophole-ridden state laws, many gun control advocates are concerned about the public safety consequences of this unregulated market."
The Daily Beast says that a Brooklyn rapper who sold guns on Instagram - and bragged about it - was arrested in August in what New York City officials called their largest firearms bust ever, netting more than 250 guns and 19 indictments.

All by Robin Hobb, If you've read Assasins Quest x 3 - then continue with "Liveships" before returning to the farseers in "The Tawny man" and then back again to the "Rain Wild Cronicles" ... Soldiers Son are also good, but very different and a bit slow - the frist book there is best.
For the more gritty side of fantasy you have to read Joe Abercrombies First Law, fantastic books and the gloves are off when he writes.
An unfinshed series (but still going) are "Songs of Fire and Ice" by George R.R. Martin, really good, lots of lots of characters though, so a lot to keep track off - and don't get to attached to the characters either...
I like the Runelords multilogy also ... a great concept for "magic" in those books, where lords draw abilities from their subjects
That'll tie you over for the summer

SAME SPHERE: never meeting
1st Friday Reception: May 7th, 6-9pm
Friday May 7th through Friday May 28th, 2010
Perhaps now, comfort is in the privacy of your own virtual identity. In a time where life is performed in front of a camera broadcasting the minute details of daily personal activities, are people revealing more or less? Is the increased fervor for virtual connection a somber echo in the skies of an increasingly ailing society or is the need satiating a long overdue reminder that people the world over are strikingly similar? With technology so pervasive, this unique era brings to light many questions of community, isolation, authenticity and "connection." Are these imagined structures of community an invasion or complement to the natural world?

Those are both very awesome!
I normally do all my own European mounts but since Tony Hook of Predator To Prey Skull Cleaning (out of Idaho) was offering free skull cleanings of legally killed Idaho wolves I took him up on the offer....I had three buck skulls to deal with as it was. Here she is with my humble assistant!
This whitetail was her last meal......I did the Euro on him! (it is legal in Idaho to take the skulls of naturally killed animals home!)
The wolf skull scores 15 2/8 and I am curious if anybody else has ever scored a wolf skull to know if that is big, small or ???? Not gonna loose any sleep over it but I would be curious if there is any scoring info out there. She was a BIG she wolf.
Those are both very awesome!
Wow they turned out nice Joe. They came out very bright white.
Thanks! I think I will mount them next to the wolf rug when I get that back......still 4 months or so..
awesome way to go on killing an elk eater....I am still working on filling mine!
Good job dude. They look great, not only an elk eater but apparently a whitetail eater also.
Beautiful! I sure hope to see a lot more wolf skulls and mounts on the forum this year! Great job
Nice Joe. Those look awesome!
Looks like they really turned out nice, Joe.
