Tell us more so we can assist. Spend some time actually crafting a message that people can decipher instead of making us guess what sort of actual makes/models/equipment you currently have. Understand, there are many, many permutations of what you describe in such haste.
Keep in mind that it's a new device, more importantly, iOS6 is new too. When some apps are updated some of your prior seamless functionality/connectivity will probably return. YMMV.
My 4s connects to all out TV's in our boats, RVs.
My 4s also connects to all my auto radios allowing for full video , turn by turn nav and netflix, Pandora etc.
The iPhone has no connectivity so is it really a upgrade of a step backwards?

A Debate Goes Viral By Amanda Vinicky • Sep 15, 2015 Tennessee Department of Human Services Just how much assistance the state should give low-income parents to help them pay for daycare has been a hot issue throughout the budget debate. Now, a state lawmaker's take on it has gone viral; with 4.2 million YouTube views and counting. I'm Amanda Vinicky with The Players - your look into who's who in Illinois Politics and what they're up to. Trucker Asks: Are Police Above The Law? By Amanda Vinicky • Jul 22, 2014 Brian Miner, You Tube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-dJgFdfl3I) It has been just over half a year since Illinois made it illegal to talk on your phone while driving without the use of a hands-free device. There are some exceptions: you can hold your phone if your car is stopped -- say at a railroad crossing for a freight train -- and in park or neutral, or if you pull off onto the shoulder. The law also makes an exemption for law enforcement. A recent YouTube sensation that raises the question: should police get special treatment?

Hi guys,
I have created layout with LVS clean. And then I have translated the layout into .gds format through "streamOut". Now I streamIn it to a library. But all pins are missing in layout .
Thank you,
In reply to Quek:
Hi quek,
Thank you for your suggition. What may be the issue in this? Some times I need to run LVS for GDS2 format. Then again I am getting this pin issue. And by the way thank you for your precious suggitions in previous posts.
In reply to Sarvani:
After steamIn, property of pin is converted from "RECTANGLE PIN" to "RECTANGLE". By setting same pin attribute number while streamOut and streamIn is works good. But while running LVS for GDS file then pins doesnot recognizing .
Hi SarvaniGDS format does not know what is "DFII pin" so it is not possible to preserve the pins in gds format. You can stream out the pin as "geometry+text" so that Assura's textToPin cmd can read in the labels and use them as pins.Best regardsQuek

Supporting acts Pentatonix and Eric Hutchinson will be accompanying the "Since U Been Gone" star, so you won't want to miss this epic tour. Browse the Kelly Clarkson schedule above to see when she'll be stopping by a city near you, and secure your seats soon!
About Kelly Clarkson
It's very rare occurrence when a reality show turns a regular person into a bona fide pop star, but for Ms. Kelly Clarkson, the glamour of stardom was already in her blood. Kelly Clarkson won the first season of American Idol in 2002 and is the most successful contestant of the show to date. Kelly Clarkson grew up in Fort Worth, TX, and after her parents divorced and her family moved around quite a bit, Clarkson found refuge in music. Having never been classically trained in voice, Kelly Clarkson's teachers and peers encouraged this natural talent to perform in musicals and talent competitions throughout Texas.
In 2002, Kelly Clarkson auditioned for and won American Idol, receiving 58% of the vote against runner-up Justin Guarini. Directly after her Idol crowning, Clarkson embarked on the American Idols Live tour and starred in the box office disappointment film, From Justin to Kelly. She was contractually obligated to compete in World Idol 2003 and came in second place behind Kurt Nilsen from Norweigen Idol. Kelly Clarkson soon received national praise for the successful release of her first single, "A Moment Like This," before serving up her first studio album Thankful which debuted at number one and was certified double platinum. Soon after, Kelly Clarkson tickets went on sale and a sold out Kelly Clarkson tour ensued. Kelly Clarkson tickets were hot items that year, and her second studio album would only heighten her success.
Breakaway, Kelly Clarkson's second studio album, would be a fixture on the Billboard 200 Top 20 chart for a full year, the fourth album in history to having such staying power. Billboard Critics had this to say about the album's tracks - "These are the numbers that sound simultaneously mainstream and youthful, which is a hard trick to pull off, and they are the tracks that illustrate that Kelly Clarkson is a rare thing in the 2000s: a pop singer who's neither hip nor square, just solidly and enjoyably in the mainstream." In addition to the multitude of TV programs that she appeared on, the Kelly Clarkson tour "Breakaway" gave her even more exposure to audiences yearning for Kelly Clarkson tickets. The album produced four top 10 hits -- "Breakaway," "Since U Been Gone," "Behind These Hazel Eyes," and "Because of You."
It was during a European Kelly Clarkson tour in 2006 that she began writing songs for her third studio album, My December, which peaked at the No. 2 spot during its 2007 release. Although My December received less attention than her previous albums, it was certified platinum. That year, Kelly Clarkson opted for an intimate Kelly Clarkson tour with Kelly Clarkson tickets virtually selling out for each date.
Kelly Clarkson released her fourth studio album, All I Ever Wanted, in March 2009, and her No. 1 single, "My Life Would Suck Without You," has broken records with its instant jump from No. 97 to No. 1 within the first week of its release. Two years later she was back at the top of the charts with her 2011 album, Stronger, which produced such hits as "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," "Mr. Know It All," and "Dark Side." In 2012, Clarkson performed a moving, highly-acclaimed rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XLVI. Her first Greatest Hits album was released later that year.
Kelly Clarkson is now hitting the road for her 2015 Piece By Piece Tour in support of her sixth studio album! Cheap Kelly Clarkson tickets are available right here at Ticket Liquidator, and Kelly Clarkson fans are getting excited for this highly-anticipated tour. So secure your seats soon to an upcoming Kelly Clarkson concert near you before they're sold out -- haven't you been waiting for a moment like this?!

Damian Barr's autobiography tells how he, a steelworker's son from Lanarkshire, has come out as an unlikely Thatcherite
He is a steelworker's son from a broken home who struggled for years to come to terms with his own identity. Now at last (and with uncanny commercial timing) Damian Barr, a thirtysomething lifestyle writer, has come out. He is a Thatcherite. Deal with it.
Occasionally amusing, but more often painful, this autobiography explains how the author emerged gay but just about intact from the macho, drunken chaos that surrounded his childhood in an industrial village in Lanarkshire. For his deliverance, Barr believes he owes a debt to one woman, first glimpsed on TV in 1984, rising from the ashes

So I was wanting to get some new tires. But i'm not really sure how sizing works. I've got a trek 520 with all the default stuff. It says my current tires are 700x32c. So, if I got some tires taht were 700x35 they would fit fine right? And would I need to buy a new tube for these new tires as well?
Finally, about fenders... I was looking at the SKS fenders, and how do I figure out which size fender I need?

Group Homes and Restrictive Covenants
Bonnie, Richard J., Developments in Mental Health Law
In a recent decision in the case of the Omega Corporation of Chesterfield v. D. Duane Malloy et al. [No. 812080 (Sept. 7, 1984)], the Supreme Court of Virginia upheld a Circuit Court order restraining construction and operation of two group homes for mentally retarded adults in two Chesterfield County residential subdivisions. The Court's decision is troubling not only because it nullifies an eight-year effort to establish these particular group homes but also because it reflects an unfortunate insensitivity to the human fights of mentally retarded persons. In a larger sense, the Court's ruling also exemplifies the many obstacles which impede the development of suitable community living arrangements for mentally disabled citizens.
The Omega Group Homes
Section 15.14852 of the Virginia Code, enacted in April 1977, declares it to be the policy of the Commonwealth to afford physically handicapped, mentally ill, mentally retarded, and other developmentally disabled persons "the benefits of normal residential surroundings" and to promote their "optimal assimilation" in the community. The planning for the two Omega group homes reflects a coordinated effort by federal, state and local governments to promote and implement this policy, and thereby to help moderately retarded citizens realize their full potential as human beings and to restore to them the full benefits of citizenship.
In March 1976, an interagency task force was created, at the urging of the Virginia ARC and the state DMHR, to oversee a program of building group homes for mentally retarded Virginians. Under the Task Force's plan, the homes would be financed by low-interest loans from the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA); in turn, these loans would be serviced by rent subsidies from the Housing Assistance Payments Program administered by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). it was also anticipated that some of the group homes would qualify as Intermediate Care Facilities eligible for Medicaid support
To implement this plan, the VHDA solicited proposals, in October 1976, from Virginia's local governments. In response to this request, the Chesterfield Community Services Board (CSB) proposed the building of two 4-resident group homes in residential neighborhoods, it turned out that funds were not available from VHDA for several years, and the Chesterfield CSB renewed its interest in February 1979. In September, the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors approved construction of the proposed group homes. During the next eight months, the CSB, together with an architect and real estate agent, inspected more than 100 residential lots in search of property which would satisfy the VHDA criteria. Eventually, in June, contracts to purchase two lots were signed by Omega, a nonprofit corporation established for the sole purpose of carrying out the purchase of the land and construction of the homes. (Tax-exempt status for Omega was approved by the General Assembly in January 1981.)
In July 1980, the VHDA formally notified the Board of Supervisors of the proposed construction, giving the Board sixty days to object The Board did not object and, in April 1981, sent a letter of support for the project to VDHA. The construction loan was formally approved by VDHA on April 21, 1981. The architectural review committees of the two subdivisions approved the plans for the two group homes in June. After a five-year effort, involving the coordinated efforts of the legislative and executive branches of the county and state governments, the construction of the group homes appeared to be imminent For eight moderately retarded individuals--some living with families, some residing in state or local facilities--these homes offered the promise of individual dignity and "the benefits of normal residential surroundings."
The Litigation
Unfortunately, support for the project was not universal. …

I have been a business owner in Cody since 1983 and owned and operated a roller skating facility until just a few years ago. I have also been a horse owner since the age of fourteen with the exception of the four years that I attended Western Michigan University. My family moved to Cody from South Lyon, Michigan where I boarded horses and raised german shepherds. In the later years I was also involved with the K-9 Search & Rescue Team. We brought Children, Horses, Dogs and Cats to 'Big Wonderful Wyoming'!
All three children graduated from Cody High School with the youngest attending the Wapiti School from grades K thru 6. My Morgan Mare went from Show Horse to Mountain Horse. She took care of me on the trail; as well as packing out Elk for the family. I purchased her at six months of age and lost her a few years ago at the great age of thirty three. She was my horse of a Lifetime! Cody Country is most definitely an Awesome place to raise a family and to visit!
Linda Bortels purchased this chateau / country house in 1986
Our Vacation Rental is located in the Wapiti Valley and offers outdoor experiences of a Lifetime! All the numerous amenities have been listed; however the Airport and the well maintained roads make it an A+ for quests and their travel experience. This property is located along on the River with excellent fly fishing and has an adundance of Elk and Mule Deer around the property at numerous times of the year. The Buffalo Bill Reservoir and Visitor Center is also near by and has boating and great fishing.
This Property has Unique Mountain Views and Great Sounds from the Shoshone River that offer Tremendous Peace and Tranquillity for our Guests. Such great amenities with Cody and Yellowstone nearby.
My partner and I and our 2 horses spent a week at Stagecoach River Ranch. Upon pulling in we were greeted and made welcome. We hooked up our LQ trailer to water, power and settled in. Linda gave us all the information as to where to ride, fish, and sight see. There were other travelers with and without horses and we never ran into issues. The rates are standard for what we found all during our one month travel on the road. The fences are very safe, the hay is of excellent quality. It was easy to haul in and out to the many nearby trailheads each day. Thanks Linda for making our Wapiti stay excellent! -Lori and Jeff. Max and Oreo.
Linda's ranch has breathtaking panoramic views all around. The peaks surrounding the place are really amazing and peaceful at the same time. You can literally just sit in front of the house, and enjoy a world-class view here, sort of going back in time, you know, old west, and start to love this place more and more. We really enjoyed our stay there, and ended up extending our stay because we loved it so much there! My parents live in Asia, which is far far away, but, they enjoyed it so much, so, they talk about coming back here,, what can we say more?
A bit more details.. Our family of 7 (2 seniors, 3 adults, 2 children) stayed there and found that there was more than sufficient space available for all of us. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking, and all the amenities were properly prepared. We stayed at the unit with 3 beds which is located on the first floor of Linda's home, and there are beautiful horses right outside the porch, which made our children super excited. Linda was very hospitable and took time to even take photo ups for our children on her horses before she actually heads out for trailing with her horses. The location is well separated from Cody's more crowded center, but, within convenient 20 min drive which also provides beautiful scenery of water & mountains. At night, we spent time to see nightly Rodeo in town, which was out first time actually seeing one, and it was fun. The buffalo bill museum is also very educational about Buffalo Bill & native American history, and it's worth seeing too if you are into such attractions. It takes about 2 hours from here to enter Yellowstone's East gate, which ultimately leads to Yellowstone lake. Overall, beautiful location, easy access to all major attractions, and superbly recommended!
I booked at Linda's ranch for a special vacation with my grandchildren. The ages of our group ranged from eight to fifty eight with the majority being teenagers! We ALL found the accommodations fabulous! The panoramic views around the cabin were breathtaking! The horses right outside our door and Linda's German Shepherd, Carrie added to the homey feeling of the stay. Everyone found there own favorite thing to do from visiting Yellowstone, fly fishing in the Shoshone river, beating a drum in our drum circle around a campfire, or just relaxing in the comfy, cabinlike rental. I especially loved the windowless bedroom- I was actually able to sleep in as I couldn't tell what time it was!! A real treat for this Grandma!! Linda was an excellent host! She even helped jump our truck when it wouldn't start one day! Would highly recommend this place for anyone needing a getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!!! Worth every penny we spent!!!!!
We first rented Stage Coach River Ranch due to the great fishing reviews and river access indicated. We arrived to find the river the color of chocolate milk due to all the rains but we were very pleased with our surroundings. Linda was a wonderful host; very accommodating, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. The setting of this ranch was beautiful, close to Cody and Yellowstone. The accommodations were most adequate, recently updated with a second bath. Due to the arrangement of the bathrooms, one bedroom did lack some privacy but could be easily fixed with a screen or room divider. Everything was very clean and had lots of space. There were other people who were staying with horses and she had places for trailer hookups. We enjoyed a huge fire pit down by the river one night. The property layout offered enough privacy from other guests and staying downstairs with the spacious walk out basement was not a problem. A smaller bunk house area is also available for rental. You just felt "at home" here. The river did clear a bit but was not fishing well at the property so we were pleased to find lots of other access areas up the road and closer to Yellowstone that had not received quite as much rain ( sort of a rare incident for this time of year I think). We also enjoyed some good Brooktrout fishing in Sunlight Basin, over Dead Indian Pass, within driving distance of the ranch. We saw plenty of Elk, horses, Grouse, and rabbits - luckily, no bears. It was a fantastic vacation and we would highly recommend staying here.
We had a great time , we were out to see my mom and dad and it was there 60th wedding anniversary, we did all of our cooking there so we could visit and not have to go out to eat. Much more relaxing to visit, we had 22 people to eat, and there was plenty of space to sit, there was 12 that stayed at night and it was very comfortable. I was a little worried about having the owner upstairs with noisy but it was fine and She was so helpful, We asked her to take a family picture and even thew she was out side working she stop what she was doing and had us come up on the deck and she took the picture, it gave us the chance to get the picture developed and framed and gave it you mom and dad as a present the next day as we were leaving. The guys got together and tried fly fishing for the first time that was fun, The week went fast but it was a great time.
My husband and I stayed at this wonderful property along with my elderly parents for 3 nights. It had everything we were looking for: spacious, CLEAN accommodations with easy access; great location between Cody and the east entrance of YNP; and river front access to the Shoshone River for fishing. Linda is an excellent hostess, who showed us the ropes upon arrival but then kindly left us on our on, unless we needed her assistance or had questions. The views were absolutely amazing and so was the fishing! My elderly father, who has fished in many places in the U.S., loved the easy access to the river and caught some beautiful trout! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Stagecoach River Ranch!
Stagecoach River Ranch is located directly on the Shoshone River for absolutely awesome fishing and is for our Guests Exclusively! Stagecoach Trail runs along the River and is just 3 miles East of the Buffalo Bill Reservoir which is an excellent place to dock your boat or just fish off Shore. The Buffalo Bill Reservoir also has a Visitor Center at head of the Dam for your viewing.

Max Amini
MAX AMINI was born in Tucson Arizona and was raised on the East Coast. He graduated from UCLA's school of Theater, Film and Television in 2004. As an actor, Max has over 50 film and television credits including NBC's "Heroes," regular appearances on Comedy Central's "Mind of Mencia", and a leading role in the recent feature film "Beyond Paradise."
Max began his standup comedy career in 2002 at the LA Improv. In 2009 Max was chosen as one of the finalists for NBC's Diversity Showcase. Through an array of eccentric impressions and novel story telling, Max expresses his comedy by delivering a strong message about family ties, cultural aspects, and social topics. What really sets Max apart from most comedians is his ability to improvise and create on the spot. It's not uncommon for an audience member to sit through two Max Amini shows in one night and find two totally different performances.
He just shot his very own 1-hr comedy special, "Max Amini: Authentically Absurd," directed by his pal, comedian-actor Rob Schneider. Max is also a series regular on Rob's new series, "Real Rob."
Max is now headlining his own shows and his international tour in places like Canada, England, Australia, Germany, Dubai, Sweden, and Malaysia have been well received. To learn more about Max you may visit www.MaxAmini.com

Woman posts on Facebook moments before fatal crash
A 32-year-old woman died in the US after slamming her car head-on into a truck while posting on Facebook about how happy she was while listening to a Pharrell song.PT0M0S 620 349
They grew up together and were still friends on social media.
But police are investigating whether a petty feud, possibly started over an unpaid debt, has left one young Cessnock man dead and another in custody on a murder charge.
Jack Henderson, 20, died from a single stab wound to his torso following an altercation on one of the town's suburban streets on Friday night.
Died from a stab wound: Jack Henderson.
The Newcastle Herald understands Mr Henderson may not have immediately realised he had been stabbed and was still conscious when he was wheeled into the emergency ward at Cessnock District Hospital after being driven there by another man, also aged 20.
Within a few hours, another 20-year-old, Jack Vincent Colless, was arrested outside his John Street house and later charged with murder.
Police will allege that an altercation had occurred between Mr Colless and Mr Henderson outside the accused's unit.
It may not have been until after Mr Henderson had returned to his mate's car that he realised he was bleeding and was taken to the nearby emergency ward.
The driver also discovered he had suffered a wound to his elbow.
Police said in a statement that officers arrived at the hospital and broke up a brawl in the car park outside.
It is understood the brawl came after Mr Henderson's family received the news that the former Cessnock High School student had died of his injuries.
John Street was cordoned off for several hours on Friday as specialist police investigated the crime scene.
But there were no signs of any struggle near Mr Colless' rental unit on Sunday.
Both the alleged victim and accused were well known to each, had grown up knowing each other and remained Facebook "friends".
Mr Colless was later charged with murder, carrying a cutting weapon to avoid apprehension and reckless wounding.
He briefly faced a bail hearing on Saturday and was remanded in custody to appear in Cessnock Local Court on Wednesday.

Battery Life Testing and Camera Samples
On the plus side, Motorola has designed an incredibly slick UI for advanced photo controls. There's flash controls, HDR control, Slo-Motion control, Panorama mode, GPS on/off (for geotagging) and Quick Capture -- a unique feature that enables you to launch straight into the camera with two quick twists of the wrist. It's awesome for hopping into the camera when something spur of the moment is happening in front of you.
Photos in broad daylight turned out well, but dealing with confusing lighting scenarios is clearly not this sensor's forte. 1080p video capture was also above average (see our video demo on the first page of this review). If you're planning to use the camera just to snap moments for sharing on Instagram, you may not care about the extra noise incurred when shooting in low light, or the extra blur in photos taken as the sun sets. But, rest assured, this is no high-end sensor. It's one area of the Moto X that's decidedly middle-of-the-road.
On the battery front, there's a 2,200mAh Li-Polymer cell. Sadly, it's not accessible by the end user, so you can't just swap in a new cell if this one gets exhausted. That said, Motorola claims that it can last up to 24 hours for the average user -- no doubt a feat that is helped by a lower-resolution panel and a processor that isn't exactly on the cutting edge in late 2013.
In our tests, the phone managed to hold up to that. During average use -- daily texts, a few voice calls, hours of surfing, checking social feeds, having 4-5 accounts with Push notifications enabled, etc. -- we were able to stretch the phone's battery to around 23.5 hours. Heavier users will see that fall by a few hours, but still, that's impressive.

Camp Rock Party Ideas
Invite Demi Lovato, the Jonas Brothers, and the rest of the Camp Rock crowd to your next party! Our Camp Rock Party Ideas offers suggestions for everything from invitations to activities that will make your child's birthday a true Camp Rock celebration!

Camp Rock Games & Activities
Planning & Invitations
Securing a location for your Camp Rock Party is one of the first things you will need to do. Hosting a party at home is a great option, as you have a little more freedom with your decorating and food choices. However, many parents prefer to host the party elsewhere. For a Camp Rock theme, you may want to consider an outdoor community stage, camp ground, or rock n' roll museum. For additional ideas, see our article on When and Where to Have the Party.
What Do I Need For the Party?
Basic party supplies include paper tableware, such as plates, napkins, cups, and cutlery, as well as a tablecloth, streamers, and balloons.
You can stick with the basics, or add other items to fit your theme. For example, for a Camp Rock Party, you may also want to consider renting or purchasing the following:
- Karaoke Machine
- Inflatable Guitars
- Glow Sticks
- Microphones
- Camp Rock Soundtrack or CDs by The Jonas Brothers or Demi Lovato
- Disposable Cameras
For additional help with your shopping, take a look at our Suggested Party Supply List. You may not need everything on the list, but you can use it as a guide.
The invitations you send should set the mood for your party, so get your guests rocking and rolling with one of these unique ideas:
- Cut the shape of a guitar out of card stock. Write "Rock the House at [child's name]'s Camp Rock Party!" on the front and all the party details on the back.
- Design each invitation to look like a CD. Use empty CD cases to hold your invitations, cutting each one to size and inserting it into a case.
- Print out a photo of the Camp Rock cast and have it blown up to the size of a concert poster. Write your party details where the concert information would normally be. Roll up each invitation and wrap a rubber band around it before sending.
- If you want to focus more on the 'camp' part of Camp Rock rather than the 'rock' part, cut the shape of a rustic lodge out of brown cardstock and add die cut evergreen trees to the edges. Or, design your invitation to resemble a giant bonfire!
- Include creative wording for your party details, such as:Calling all Campers: It's Time to Party!
Join [child's name] and The Jonas Brothers for a Camp Rock Birthday Bash
We will set up camp at [arrival time]
The last song will be performed at [pick-up time]
RSVP to the Camp Director at [RSVP info]
If you would rather not make your own invitations, but would still like a personalized touch, consider our Personalized Rock Star or personalized camp invitations, which include all the party details for you! We also offer blank invitations that you can fill in yourself.
Whichever invitation option you choose, seal your envelopes with Rock Star Stickers to add a final festive touch!
Decorating & Food Ideas
While invitations set the party mood, decorations keep that energy alive! Consider these decorating ideas for your Camp Rock party:
- Set up a small tent in the party area and lay several sleeping bags out on the floor.
- Hang a banner on your front door that says "Welcome to Camp Rock!". See our selection of personalized banners for inspiration!
- If you have a fire pit, light a small campfire in your backyard! The firelight and campfire smell with definitely add to the atmosphere. If you don't have the option of a real campfire, cut one out of construction paper and hang it on one wall of the party area.
- Balloons are a must at every party! You can use the colors from the Camp Rock logo, and group together yellow and red helium balloons to set around the party area. You could also add guitar balloons to some of your rock party decorations.
- Create a stage area where your guests can sing and dance! Hang a plain white sheet on one wall of the party area and paint large black speakers on both sides. Outline the sheet with clear lights.
- Hang posters of the Camp Rock cast around the party area. Sign the names of the cast members on some of the posters for added effect.
- Set out groups of musical instruments, such as tambourines, guitars, xylophones, and drums around the party area that your guests can pick up and try out during the party.
- Play the Camp Rock soundtrack or music by The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato as background music.
Get creative with your party food by serving theme-specific treats. For a Camp Rock Party, consider the following ideas:
- Serve french fries and popcorn in stadium cups. Set out toppings for the popcorn such as cheese powder, cinnamon and sugar, chocolate sprinkles, and sea salt.
- Serve traditional camp food, like hotdogs and hamburgers, straight off the grill. Add sides of corn on the cob and baked beans as well.
- Use cookie cutters in the shape of a music note and a guitar to cut out fun shapes in sandwiches. You can also use them to cut out shapes in sliced cheese.
- Set out a bowl of homemade trail mix for your little campers.
- Serve Ice Cream Cone Microphones! Serve ice cream in sugar cones and roll the top in chocolate sprinkles.
- Serve CD Sugar Cookies by frosting round sugar cookies in white frosting and piping on the details, such as the center hole and the band name, in black decorator frosting.
- Make a star-shaped cake with our star cake pan and pipe on words like "You're a Star!" or "Let's Party!" in decorator icing.
- If you have a fire pit, try roasting marshmallows and making S'mores as an alternative to cake. If you don't have a fire pit, you could also try roasting marshmallows over your grill.
Party Favor Ideas
Once the stage lights have dimmed and the campers are on their way home, put one last smile on their faces with party favors that fit your theme. You can give one large favor, such as a Jonas Brothers CD, or combine smaller favors such as a tambourine, an inflatable microphone, guitar picks, and a disposable camera in a nice favor bag.
To save time, you may want to consider our complete Rock-Inspired Favor Sets, which include matching favor bags. Or, consider our popular Personalized Rock n' Roll Favors. Choose from bag tags, zipper pulls, magnets, and more, all personalized with your guests' names or a special message from you!

Thunder notebook: Kevin Durant earns honor
Kevin Durant was named the Western Conference Player of the Week. He led the Thunder to a 4-0 week, highlighted by wins over Boston and Dallas. Durant averaged 31.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.5 steals. Durant established the single-season franchise mark for points. Durant has scored 2,258 points, surpassing Dale Ellis' 2,553 points 20 years ago when the team was in Seattle.
Playoff possibilitiesThe Thunder, in sixth place overall in the Western Conference, most likely will finish as the No. 6, 7 or 8 seed but could finish as high as second. One game in the loss column behind Dallas, Utah, Phoenix and Denver — four teams locked in a four-way tie for second, third, fourth and fifth — the Thunder plays three of those teams the final 10 days. If the Thunder wins its final six games, finishing the regular season on a 10-game winning streak, Oklahoma City would be assured of being the No. 3 seed, passing the Jazz, Suns and Nuggets because of tiebreakers. OKC could finish as the No. 2 seed if Dallas loses at least one game. But if the Thunder goes 4-2 or 3-3 over its last six games, there's a good chance it would finish as the No. 8 seed and play the Lakers in the first round.
Krstic's alley oop dunkLate in the first half Sunday against Minnesota, Durant took an outlet pass on a fast break near half-court, took a couple of dribbles and tossed an alley oop pass to Nenad Krstic for a slam dunk. Durant was asked if it's the first time he set up the Thunder center for an alley oop. "I think that's the first alley oop of his career," Durant said, smiling. "He got up on that one, too. It got the crowd going and got everybody on the bench going. It was fun to see."
Off dayThe Thunder did not practice Monday. Coach Scott Brooks gave players the day off before the team left Monday afternoon for tonight's game in Salt Lake City. Riding a four-game winning streak, Oklahoma City played five games in eight days. "There's no doubt we needed the day off," Brooks said. "We needed to rest our minds and our bodies and get our energy back. We need to get our defensive disposition back and start playing better defense."
66ers make playoffsThe Tulsa 66ers, the Thunder's D-League affiliate, qualified for the playoffs. The 66ers open a best-of-3 series against Sioux Falls on Thursday in Tulsa at the BOK Center. Game 2 against will be held Friday in Sioux Falls. If a third game is necessary, it will be held Sunday in Sioux Falls.

Skip to comments.Recent job ad: H1 transfers (Taking American Jobs)
Posted on 04/08/2003 12:45:08 PM PDT by 1stFreedom
I've been looking for a job for weeks without success. While searching on Dice.com, I found an ad targeting anyone with an H1 visa to transfer!
Whoever says workers on visas don't take jobs from Americans is smoking crack.
Foreign workers send money "home" thereby taking money out of the US economy. They take both old and new jobs away from Citizens. This might be fine during times of economic boom, but it's a shame during times like now.
Call and write your representatives in Congress asking them to, on an emergency basis, deny ALL H1 and L1 visas and related transfers. They may give you the excuse that they don't want to have the jobs shipped overseas, but don't accept that excuse. Ask them to impose heavy tarrifs or taxes on corporations that relocate thier IT work.
Tons of IT people have been out of work for some time now, and it's reached a boiling point.
I hate to say it, but I think we'll have more success with the Dems then the Pubbies.
(One thing the Pubbies are not considering is that many IT professionals are in fact incorporated and are small businesses.)
DICE Search results:
Title: H1 transfers Skills: JAVA, J2EE, EJB, oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Seibel, .net, VB, ASP, peoplesoft, CRM, Business analyst, 21 cfr PART 11, QA testers
Date: 4-7-2003 Location: Edison, NJ Area code: 732
Tax term: FULLTIME Pay rate: DOE Length: permanent
Position ID: AS202 Dice ID: 10108743
Job description: We are looking for a qualified candidates who are looking to transfer their H1. The candidates will be interviewed in their respective fields by experts and if selected will be considered for further training conducted in house. Salary will be based on skills. Local candidates preferred but is not a limitation. Good communication skills required.
Requirements: JAVA, J2EE, EJB, oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Seibel, .net, VB, ASP, peoplesoft, CRM, Business analyst, 21 cfr PART 11, QA testers Travel required: none Telecommute: no
Perhaps a better idea would be to improve your job skills, lower your asking price, or find a new line of work, instead of relying on government intervention for your livelihood.
Easy for you to say. Let's flood America with people who are willing to do what you are doing for half the pay. You'll change your tune pretty fast.
I'd turn them in if I were you.
I know people who are out of a job for ~1 year and who are willing to take *anything*. There is *nothing* out there.
Spoken by someone who knows nothing of the IT situation.
Improve the job skills -- "Jack Wilson" indicates he has been doing Oracle/SQL work. That is current - there is a large Oracle market out there.
Let me set out a few facts.
1st, it does not matter in the slightest how current your job skills are - if you have ever worked as a "senior manager", "director", "principal", or "VP of anything" -- forget getting a hands on job. It doesn't matter how qualified you are because those titles are code words for -- this guy is too old.
2nd, if you have more than 10 years of experience on your resume, again you are too old for 99.99% of positions.
3rd, you can leave salary and price per hour blank - doesn't matter. They base decisions to interview on whether you have less than 10 years of experience and never have a senior title in your resume.
4th, I don't care if you are the master of RUP, UML, XML, SQL,J2EE, EAI, ERP, CRM, SCM, and every other acronym in the book -- if you are over 40 you are screwed. You can't even get a job as a contractor. Heck, you can't even get an interview.
5th and finally - the H-1B situation was caused by direct government intervention into the market place. In no other country do they make it easy to go over there and get a job. Heck, try to get a job in our neighbor to the North, Canada. Hah! But here the government made it easy for a bunch of folks (about 1/2 million) to come over and get jobs. Result - net loss of 1/2 million American IT jobs.
Goverment intervention MADE this problem. We just want them to undo the damage they have done to this field. If that seems too meddlsome to some people, I'm sure they won't mind when they have to compete with indentured servants in their field of work.
Part of national soveriegnty is protecting the industry and job base of your nation's citizenry.
Our government is failing us.
*OUR* US Constitution makes this clear. Artilce I, Section 8 defines the enumerated powers of the Federal Government chartered by We, the People. It says: "The Congress shall have power to ... regulate commerce with foreign nations ... to establish a uniform rule of naturalization"
WE have not rescinded that power, and it is important to maintain it, especially now. The import of cheaper foreign labor has certainly been part of American tradition and growth as well. The Chinese and Irish immigrants who built the transcontinental railroad being a famous example.
Currently the H1 and L1 programs are being abused, and unlike the wealth-building effect the immigrant railroad workers had for the US, the engineering schools of India and China are stealing our national wealth in net effect.
We never have lacked nationally for muscle-powered labor, nor have we been hurt nationally for getting it cheap from other countries.
But it is silly to open up our national brain pan and drain it away, leaving us nationally a resource of only service workers and consumers, while other nations develop their intellect (H1) and capital (L1) at our expense.
the H-1B program is government intervention! It creates a special class of visa so employers can import Third Worlders as indentured servants to work cheap.
Let there be just one kind of worker visa, with one set of requirements for all.
Normally I would agree with such a statement. I am after all a law of the jungle type of guy.
However you're bassackwards here. "Government intervention" is the problem here. It intervened on behalf of donor tech corporations and lied to us when they said the reason was a labor shortage.
There is no good reason whatsoever to be issuing H-1s now.
Perhaps an even BETTER idea would be to examine the initial premise for H1-B visas - that there is a shortage of IT workers, which was the case in the mid 1990s - and then compare that premise to the current job market - there are many, many people looking for work - and, since the premise for the program is no longer valid, stop the program. That's hardly asking for government intervention, it is instead asking the government to live by the conditions set for the program in the first place.
And even if they did, they were never a justification for government intervention. Supply and demand works. Government micromanagement doesn't.
You asinine comments show that you are out of touch with the IT job market. During a "normal" market your suggestions may fly, but not in today's market.
Improving one's job skills while unemployed does not count. Most companies do not consider this professional experience. Trust me, been there done that.
lower your asking price
Once again, you are out of touch.
If you look on IT Job boards, you'll see that many professionals worked only a very small portion last year. Many didn't even land interviews! I've known of people that hadn't worked in over a year. They would settle for ANYTHING no matter what the pay but it wasn't happening. (Granted, some were waiting for the market to come back and salaries to raise, but overall most were desparate.)
Lowering an asking price might work if the employers were actually asking for your work! Efforts to contact a person at firms/companies are outright ignored. One has a difficult time getting responses of any kind. It seems that many companies are "fishing" for candidates and hiring very few.
So now, how is one supposed to offer a lower rate when they are not responding to one's efforts?
THOUSANDS of people are applying for single positions. I know several people who are managers. They get swamped with resumes and calls from head hunters.
instead of relying on government intervention for
Uh, Government intervention is responsible for this mess in the first place by issuing such work permits. I don't get jobs from the Government, nor a paycheck. The POLICY is what is making life difficult. The POLICY needs to be fixed.
Also, I'm a small business owner and I don't collect unemployment, so no, I don't look to the Government for intervention. I look for them to correct their mistake!
new line of work
This is actually a good suggestion but there is a fundamental flaw: Everybody who can't find an IT job is doing this now. So there is now intense competition for other jobs. Try supporting a family on entry level salary however, and you'll realize that it's easier said than done.
The reason no Americans want to train for the field is because cheap foriegn labor drives down the wages to the level where it is no longer worthwhile for an American.
No patriot should be happy about our technical fields being dominated by foriegners.
Who was the president in the mid 90's?.
A more relevant question is "Who IS the president NOW" and what is he doing about it?
If someone is on H1-B and wishes to change employers, they must seek another H1-B. You are correct that the employer is the petitioner, but a person must be assigned to the petition. The employer cannot have a "standing" H1-B for an applicant, and that applicant cannot work for any employer other than the original petitioner. I'm not in the Nile. Quite the contrary, I have hired over 5,000 people in the past five years.
Good point. No one wants to rely on good graces of "government intervention", or union representation. However, when the government has already intervened in the market, that should be reversed. The government has already put 300,000 "Job For Sale - CHEAP! benefits - US Green Card! Hurry and apply now!" signs out per year (including NAFTA visas, H1B, and a few other classes). What's more, the government is only targeting one group of citizens .. on class of citizens.
Upgrade my skills? Great, ok, I'll bite. I've done that, and took a pay cut every year for the past five years. Here's an example of a friend of mine who's been out of work 1/2 the time for the past four years: US Naval Academy Grad, former Marine Pilot, Engineering Degree, Oracle and MS Certifications, 10 years experience in IT ... no work.
95% of the people I've worked with on every project since 1992 have been foreign nationals. There is no way you can "upgrade your skills" to prepare for an environment where (a) technology changes every 3-6 months, (b) there are 100 applicants from 3rd world countries willing to accept ANY salary just to get their foot into the USA, and (c) where that salary they except won't support a U.S. college education.
Your response indicates either ignorance or arrogance. You either have no idea what's happening to the IT industry, or are personally benefiting from the U.S. government sponsored "job shop" system.
My son is 15, has been working on industry standard software (web, database, etc.) since he was 10, and wanted to go into my field (databases, custom applications, large system development, etc.). He's already "wise" to this world. He already understands that he cannot support a $100-200 K college degree on a $45,000 a year entry-level salary, and <$100K top salary. The pay off isn't work the investment, so he's looking for another field.
The only people I know who support the current H1 "job shop" system are the parasites and pimps who "sell" the jobs. Even IT managers know they're not getting quality. Sure, the best kids from India or Ireland or the Philippines or Russia are as smart as any American kids, and come to the USA labor market at a bargain. But most of the guys and gals from overseas are "average" like most Americans, which means they have real problems with language and cultural skills. One-on-one in any interview between an American college graduate and a foreign national, 85% of Americans have the edge. But when you inject the green card, there's a wholesale discount on the foreign nation, no American can compete, regardless of education, background, skills, or work ethic. What's more, if you're over 40, you might as well write it off.. you have no chance.
I've been in this business about 17 years, both as an independent consultant, and as a staffer for Big five firms and fortune 100 companies. I am very highly skilled, have been continuously "re-educating" myself for ten years, and have narrowly avoided employment downturns that have devastated many of my colleagues. If the US Government does not control the Visa IT labor, there will be no American's in the business in 5 years.
Free market bump
Why don't you move to India? I am sure you can get low paying job there.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

No Nahki Wells move for QPR
QPR have failed with a bid for Bradford's highly-rated hotshot Nahki Wells.
Harry Redknapp was keen on the 15-goal Bermuda hitman, 23, to add some zip to his struggling strikeforce – which has netted only 26 times in 24 Championship games.
But Rangers failed to match Bradford's £2million asking price.
Bradford's director of operations David Baldwin said: "We've had one formal bid. It is improved on what Peterborough offered in the summer but it's not where the club want to be.
"Unless we see any other offers coming through which we feel are worth considering, Nahki remains very much a Bradford City player and part of our plans."

Warhawks' Asmondy surprises self in earning state wrestling bid
Higginbotham also claims repeat berth
A few years ago, Germantown 195-pound wrestler Steve Asmondy would not have bet upon himself and his size 17 feet to do anything of grand importance in his chosen sport.
But that was before the last match of the WIAA individual sectional at Oconomowoc on Saturday, when Asmondy (38-9 on the season) got a reversal with about 3.8 seconds left to pull out a 6-5 victory over Cedarburg sophomore Tyler Watson in the wrestleback for the second-place state berth in his weight class.
"This feels amazing," said the senior. "Freshman year, I think I was a one-win JV guy, but I just kept working at it. The end of the match was amazing because I never look at the clock. I knew it was getting close to the end and I just worked until I got it (the reversal).
"Wow, is this amazing. If you had told me as a freshmen that I'd make state someday, I'd have told you 'No way!' "
But instead, it was "Ye, way" as Asmondy joins his training partner, repeat 220-pound state qualifier junior Hunter Higginbotham (41-4) on the mats at the Kohl Center in Madison at 3 p.m. Thursday for the WIAA State Individual Tournament.
Asmondy takes on Menomonie's powerful Eric Peissig (45-0) in his first round bout while Higginbotham challenges Menasha's Zeek Hooyman (36-4) in his first match.
Warhawks coach Casey Gabrielson is happy for the wrestlers, but especially for Asmondy.
"Oh my, I'm still trying to recover," he chuckled a few minutes after Asmondy's match. "He came in as a roly-poly freshman and his feet were still just as huge then (laughs) only he weighed just 160 pounds at the time, but he got a little bit better and improved about 10 wins a year the last couple of seasons. He cut out the baby fat, and now here he is."
The wrestleback was the fourth time Asmondy had beaten Watson this season.
"And each time the match got closer," Gabrielson said.
Asmondy had beaten Wauwatosa (4-0) and Nicolet (pin 3:48) opponents before losing on a pin to Oconomowoc's Brett Samson (33-8) in the final. Watson earned his wrestleback try when he pinned the same Nicolet opponent Asmondy had defeated in the third-place match.
The wrestleback was close all the way and the third period featured three lead changes including Asmondy's final push.
Higginbotham, meanwhile, got his chance to work with his familiar training partner another week by also taking second. Higginbotham pinned Nicolet (0:48) and Milwaukee Riverside (2:34) opponents before losing to Oconomowoc's Nick Gomez, 7-2, in the title bout. Gomez hit a big five-point throw in the first period and Higginbotham couldn't recover.
Gomez had pinned Higginbotham with a similar maneuver in the Feb. 9 regional.
Higginbotham, an intense competitor, was so hot after the defeat, that he pulled down the top of his singlet and stormed to the far side of the field house, where he barged through the doors and into the 12 degree temperatures to cool down while accompanied by a couple of coaches.
"I just got out of position," Higginbotham said after coming back in, "but I'm back to state and my goal is to push through things (until I get on the podium). I'm on a mission now to get as far as I can.
"Last year, this was all new to me. I'm a little more mature now and more ready for it all. I have a job to finish."
Gabrielson was happy qualifying two to state in a rebuilding year.
"We weren't supposed to get any through, but our guys pulled a couple of upsets," he said. "What they accomplished in getting this far was really something."
Also making it into the semifinals at the sectional but coming up short for a state berth were senior 160-pounder Tyler Palzkill (fourth place, 28-20) and junior Hunter Valenta at 182 (fourth, 16-9).
Others competing at the sectional but losing in the first round were seniors Tyler Colegrove at 126 (19-15), Brandon Goesch at 145 (24-18), and Tyler Baran at 170 (23-19).

Happy Holidays from the gang at Adland.
We've got some fun gifts to hand out this month. The very generous folks over at Communication Arts have given us some 2004 CA Ad Annuals to share with you. Read more!
Just post your response by December 19th to be entered for your chance to win! Winners will be drawn on the 20th.
The question:
What is your all time favorite ad or ad campaign?
If your favorite is in the archive, link it for all to see.
This is how you make a link:
I like this ad
Just switch the with - if you goof, no worries, we'll make repairs.
Unfamiliar with CA? Here's a bit about them: Communication Arts serves up delicious and nutritious high gloss images of the creme de la creme in graphic design, advertising, photography, illustration and interactive multimedia, with in depth interviews and articles from the most creative minds of our time.
Tabasco "Mosquito". Hands down my favorite spot over the years. Simple idea, powerfully executed.
I have already promised my eternal undying love to this Apple HAL - because it gives me goosebumps.
But back when I was a young ad-pup, the Guardian Points of view was the ad that made my heart beat faster.
I'm sure there are fifty that I truly love, but I thought the "Oh, it's you Bob." ad campaign that Nissan ran a few years back was excellent. The concept was this guy "Bob" who drove a Nissan, and that the vehicle made you "special." Bob had his own lane at the tolls, his own lane on the highway, and when he gets pulled over by the highway patrol, the cop takes down his sunglasses and says "Oh, it's you Bob." and lets Bob go. It was just kooky and yet easy to remember.
While it's pretty much impossible to choose a single ad or campaign, I've always admired an ad for Nikon from the early 1990's; I believe it was by Scali McCabe Sloves. It consisted of four black boxes, each with a reversed out line of text. Each "caption" described a famous photograph - for example, "A young boy salutes his father's coffin" for JFK's funeral. There was no body copy - just a headline that said "If you can picture it in your mind, it was taken by a Nikon." Utterly simple, totally brilliant - and far more compelling and truthful than any gimmicky website or marketing fad du jour.
I am Canadian. What more can i say? (other than the fact that i really am Canadian...)
runner up goes to Apple, Think Different.
Wow. not a computer in sight. But one of Kermit the frog. For a computer? How'd they do that?
From my first viewing of this spot it has always stayed with me. I'm talking about a Nike ad. The one showing all different types of athletes with various scars or physical deformities (i.e. - Ronnie Lott's midget pinkie, a surfer's sharkbite, etc.). The spot is all done in black and white and is scored by Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful". This was the moment when I realized advertising could be art.
Hands down. My favorite commercial of all time is Nike's Air Revolution ad with The Beatles - Revolution playing in the background. It's the ad that inspired me to go into advertising. Damn spot. Ruined my life!
Too many come to mind, of course. But two of my all-time fav print one-offs are the legendary "I never read the Economist" and Saatchi's "Pregnant Guy", from waaaay back. I really like Nike's Play campaign (Tag, Shade Running, etc.) for its insightful brilliance in bringing sports back to what it was all about at first
The nike "revolution" commercial was the first time I understood the power of advertising. It really convinced me that whatever Nike was selling, it was something very special. I think I couldn't distinguish it at the time from a movie or a program, because it had no pitchman, no setup, no voiceover, as I recall it didn't even explain the product. It was just very very iconic.
Also the very first Infitini spots, with the clouds and the steam and the rambling V.O. and no shots of the car. Made it feel important.
Then I didn't like anything for 18 years or so, until this came about: The surfer.
Black and white, "ugly" talent, otherwordly location, unplaceable V.O., pounding leftfield music, and THEN perfectly integrated dream stallions?! Come on! It's too much. It's just too much. Still makes my heart pound. And it even manages to include a product benefit!
Not too many people have mentioned print. this ad made me cream my jeans when I saw it:
Head and shoulders (not sure if that link'll work.)
And I have a soft spot for this guy: ketchup.
Structurally very interesting and great photography. And good writing.
The art direction in the iPod spots distills the product to its very essence and with all the spoofs its had, it will become a classic.
Think small of DDB and VW. Why? Because it made me understand what copywriting really is about.
That head and shoulders ad rox my sox. Clever.
I was thinking VW too, but Arnold around the turn of the century.
My top 3 are
- Synchronicity
- Bubble
- Pink Moon
It's the ultimate in copywriting, to say so much without saying a single word.
(I'm not competing. I'm just making more links. cheers.)
1. VW / Volkswagen Jetta - Synchronicity - Jung at Heart
2. Volkswagen Beetle Convertible - Bubble (post-teaser VAR)
3. VW Pink Moon
Pink moon is really nice.
Thanks for that - I realized after I posted the link for Synchronicity was for the music
Since noahr already mentioned Guinness Surfer, someone has to mention EB Pilsner Loafer, perhaps the best spoof in recent years. It made me laugh.
Sheet Metal and People for Saturn give me chills every time I see them. So does VW Squares. Also, Peugeot - Sculptor is hilarious! Campaign-wise, I'd have to say it's CP+B's work for MINI .
Hmm, I just realized that all the ads I listed are car ads... why is that?
