Gov. Hickenlooper speaks on death row inmate reprieve
Hickenlooper delayed execution of man who murdered 4 at Chuck E. Cheese
Gov. John Hickenlooper gave a death row inmate his life back, and now he's talking about the decision that's sparked outrage across the state.
Hickenlooper indefinitely delayed the execution of Nathan Dunlap, the man who murdered four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese in 1993.
Hickenlooper was a supporter of the death penalty when he ran for governor two years ago.
"I started out in one place, but when you get the facts and the facts are different than anything you've been told, I mean, I'm a business person. I have to look at the facts," Hickenlooper said.
He said he's met with and listened to the victims' families and the survivor of the massacre.
"I felt awful," Hickenlooper said. "I went and met with them, everyone I could. All the families of the victims and the sole survivor."
He said the worst part of his decision was knowing they would be bitterly disappointed, but ultimately, it was what he learned about the death penalty that swayed him.
"That's there's no deterrent value, that it costs four times more money (than life in prison without parole) to go through the death penalty process, all the courtrooms and appeals. And that it really doesn't bring closure to some of the families of the victims," Hickenlooper said. "Why are we doing it? Is it vengeance?"
It's anger and hurt for Bobby Stephens, the sole survivor of the massacre.
"My current reaction is, I feel as if the wind has been kicked straight out of me," Stephens said.
Stephens and a juror on the case now question the state's justice system.
"If one person can take what a juror came up with and set it aside, then there is no system," said Steve, juror number 39. "Why do we need juries?"
Hickenlooper said part of the reason he granted a reprieve instead of clemency, which would permanently take Dunlap off death row, is consideration for everyone involved with the case.
"I also recognize that juries and prosecutors and defense attorneys and expert witnesses all invested a great amount of time in this, and I don't want to disrespect them any more than I absolutely have to," Hickenlooper said. "I think this is a way of saying, 'Your work wasn't wasted.' I see the way the court of law decided this, but as a state, let's look at the bigger issues around capital punishment."
Hickenlooper stopped short of saying he wants to repeal the death penalty in Colorado. He said he believes that will happen eventually and that it's a conversation he wants Coloradans to start having.

Elway Questions Need for Military-style Rifles
He is a gun owner, but wants to hear more about debate
DENVER - John Elway says he doesn't see why a civilian would need a military-style rifle like the ones used in recent mass shootings but he wants to hear more about the issue.
The two-time Super Bowl winner and Hall of Famer spoke briefly about gun control in a wide-ranging interview on "Piers Morgan Tonight" on CNN, where guns have been a frequent topic.
Elway said he's a gun owner and hunter and respects the Second Amendment. When asked by Morgan about military-style rifles, he said he was waiting to hear more about that part of the gun control debate.
Elway said "if that's the solution that can prevent some of these catastrophes going on at these grade schools, then I'm all for the solution."

With a unique proprietary blend of herbs, amino acids, extracts and other natural, carbohydrate blocking ingredients, Only Natural's Carb Stop is a powerful carb blocker. Carbohydrate blockers are used by many to reduce the absorption of calories from starch carbohydrates. Furthermore, carb blocker pills may also support weight loss while allowing its users to eat as they please.
Carb Stop's natural ingredients combine to form Only Natural's powerful carb blocking pills. Key ingredients include:
White kidney bean extract, also known as phaseolamine, may block carbohydrates from being absorbed into fat cells, resulting in weight loss. This is an important aspect of fat and carb blockers: phaseolamine may be an unrivaled carb block.
In addition to carbohydrate blocking and appetite suppressing reasons, we add green tea extract as an antioxidant to awaken the metabolism, regulate blood sugar and insulin levels, and fight mental sluggishness. Fenugreek appears in our carb blocker as a mild laxative to lubricate intestines and may maintain healthy cholesterol, assist in carb blocking, regulate sugar levels, reduce inflammation and mucus to assist in asthma symptom relief and improve vision.

So the good news is that I finally had my first harvest. This is my second year and last year I had to feed to get enough stores for winter. I learned a lot. I also got to use my triangle bees escape, which worked great. Only a few stragglers. I had it on overnight. So that's the good news.
Bad news is my harvest was pretty small. The weather was poor so I didn't do a full inspection. This warre is currently on six boxes. The top two were supered and the bottom was nadired. So I know that all three in between have comb. The topmost of those three felt heavy. About a month ago I went to add the second super and seeded this box with two combs from the super below. So in a way I checkerboarded the hive. Well apparently the month of July sucked and no comb was built and the honey in the seed combs in the top box was consumed...so in the end I had about three warre combs that I harvested. Good thing I had a medium Lang super that washed 6 of 8 combs ready to harvest or it would have been a waste.
Another piece of good news is that my extractor worked great with both my Lang and warre combs. My Lang frames are foundationless. No issues with combs crumbling or tearing.
If anybody recalls I had bear trouble and they lost their queen later from what i suspect was robbing. So after harvesting I put all the comb I had from those two warre boxes into one. Put it on top and then combined the single box bear hive on top of that with newspaper. If the weather is better this weekend I will fully inspect this warre hive and see how the combining went. I plan on wintering on three boxes so I may be able to harvest more depending on what the lower boxes look like and the fall flow, which is already starting. It will be nice if those two boxes I put back on get filled!

A házigazda egyéb ingatlanjainak értékelései
the department is very new and is in a very good location, just lacks a bit of warmth of home, they deliver very empty. And need a shower screen in the bathroom
The apartment's very big (we were in 6 but very very comfortable) and spacious, and very well located (in 2 minutes by feet you are in the old town square, and the area is really safe and calm during the night). The owners are from a big agency so it was well organized, they were very kind and answered the mail very quickly and in a useful way! I recommend the transport from the airport: it's easier than doing by yourself and it's not so more expensive! Then, we used it also for the way back at the same price and paying few more to have a service of luggage transfer (we didn't need to leave the apartment with all the baggage, they came to collect them up and they were on the car when the driver picked us to go to the airport!)
Just, it was not so clean (of course not even extremely dirty) and the bathroom doors were like "transparent" (not a problem, anyway not until the shower moment!!).
Anyway, I really recommend it, especially for the excellent position and for the quality/price.
A friend of mine and me we where staying at old town square apartement in the Jilska street which is a street in the oldtown center of Prague. Our apartement was quite big with 2 rooms, one for sleeping and a livingroom with extra beds for 4 persons more. The kitchen was well equipped and part of the living room (open kitchen). The area around the flat has plenty of shops, nice bars and restaurants to have cheap meals. Unfortunately close to the flats house aswell is a school with a crazy school bell that rings twice every morning at 7:45 and 8:00. So if you want to sleep long maybe its better to take some earplugs with you ;)
Little bit noisy, but it's London!
Had a great time with my family!
We were a group of 4 adults. The apartment was very clean, with plenty of room and had everything we needed. It is very close to the East Aldgate underground stop. Very convenient for getting around London. There was construction next door, they seem to be putting up a new building, so we couldn't keep the windows open due to the noise. But with the windows closed it was very quiet. Overall a great place to stay.
The apartment was nice, clean and spacious. We had a really pleasant stay.
Only two things were a little bit disturbing:
The office where you get the key is a little bit outside.
And after the stay I got a call that one key was missing. But after I sent them pictures of how I left the apartment - on which you could see all the keys on the living room table - they said that everything is ok and they found the key.
Very nice appartment in a very good location. no problems at all. next time again.
Apartment very nice and comfortable.
Very close to downtown.
Nice apartment. It was a shock to have to pay so much money in advance as a deposit. And that there was no Katharina at all, but a big organisation....

A Modern Romance in Napa
In a modern age of Facebook and "Facetime," finding a traditional relationship with same morals and values can be difficult to find. Wine Society Members since June 2013, Elona and Paul Rapp found each other using the modern convenience of Match.com.
Elona's previous residence was in Lodi and Paul's in San Ramon. Had it not been for today's technology, they might have never met. They were so close yet so far from each other. "We never would have been introduced if it wasn't for online dating."
From the day that they met, they have not been inseparable. Not only did they share the same family values and traditions but they had so much in common. Their love for wine and travel has led them many parts of the world including Napa.
Elona and Paul have made Trinitas Cellars and the Meritage Resort a part of their love story. "I asked for Elona's hand in marriage as I knelt in front of her at a look-out that stood directly above the wine cave where we would be married less than a year later."
Elona found it only appropriate to use our estate cave to hold their wedding ceremony and reception.
"The venue couldn't have been more magical. Jaws dropped at the sight of the beautiful and warmly lit wine cave where we would eventually exchange our vows."
We have been so lucky to have Elona and Paul as Wine Society members and to be a part of their love story!
Cheers to you both and your happily ever after!

Thank you to the Beedles!
I've been feeling under the weather and received a package from Mr. and Mrs. Beedle that really brightened my day...
Robert and April Beedle have been Trinity Club Wine Society members of Trinitas Cellars since April 2011. Since the Beedles live in AK, we have happily customized their Wine Society orders to help save on shipping expenses. Mr. Beedle is always a pleasure to speak with on the phone. The last time we spoke he mentioned that he wanted to send me some wild caught smoked salmon that he himself had cured and caught. I was delighted to receive this wonderful gift during such a stressful week. His handwritten card and nice words really made me smile. It is members like the Beedles that remind us of all of the wonderful lives that we touch everyday.
Thank you Beedles! Cheers to you!

text: After talking to a local beekeeper yesterday he was telling me the flow was.over around July. He has basically said his bees were done and not much goldenrod to get a good flow. Even though this is my first full year my bees they have almost filled two deeps in the past month with very light and tasty honey. Even watching them today after it warmed up they were going crazy bringing in pollen and nectar. Is it about location with some beekeepers or am I just getting lucky. The pollen that I have watch them bring in all year has been the same two colors all the way up to today. I am not complaining at all for if they get a few more good weeks I will be harvesting honey for sure since winter is short.

Very nice room with bathroom in the private Dave's house.
Well situated, easy to go to the center by tram.
Dave is very welcoming.
Although only spending one night here we were welcomed as friends by Dave and given the tour of the accommodation. We picked his brains for a great food place and ended up at IGrec which was fantastic - only the locals would know about this place! The room was exactly what was needed, a home from home. We felt very comfortable and able to pop in/ out whenever we pleased. Thank you for being such great hosts and we will definitely use you again if we come to Amsterdam!
Dave is a very nice and enthusiastic landlord.
He gave us a bottle of champagne and heineken as presents and helped us solving many problems about traveling in Amsterdam.
It was really beautiful place to stay.
The house was very close to Amsterdam City but also quiet area.
I highly recommend Dave and Barbara's lovely house.
Stayed at the House of straw for a weekend in October 2014. Apartment is comfortable in a eco-friendly way. Very comfortable bed, nice bathroom with good shower and a sink with beautiful mozaic. We would have liked to have more contact with the owners to talk about the house as it is very special. We didn't get to see owner Dave and owner Barbara was a little busy.
Practical info:
- situated in a quiet residential street. Hardly any traffic, so nice for sleeping like a baby.
- one side of the bed has 2 electrical sockets to charge your phone during the night
- apartment is on 1st floor and can only be reached by stairs (no wheelchair access)
- bed is elevated (2 steps up from the rest of the apartment)

What we didn't like:
For a visit to Amsterdam centre the House of straw of too much out of the centre for us. For instance: journey to The Dam including walk (4 mins) to the tramstop, ride to Central Station and transferring trams takes just under 30 mins. The Steiger-island where the House of straw is located only has a fruit-vegetable shop, takeaway shushi and a cafe/small theater.
Would we recommend? Yes, because it is comfortable and special.
Would we come back? No, because of the distance to the centre and there are many other accommodations to explore in Amsterdam.
Really good apartment, we really enjoyed to stay there. The bed is really comfortable, and the apartment is good equipped and really clean! Connection to the city centre is really good. Barbara and Dave are really friendly and they help everywhere where they can. If we return to Amsterdam, we will definitely stay at this apartment again! I will recommend to our friends for sure!
Apartment conform to the description, very comfortable, well connected with public transport. Good communication with the owner, I recommend everyone to stay in the apartment of Barbara.
We had a very pleasant stay at Barbaras wonderful house. Amsterdam ist an amazing city. We loved that there was water everywhere you go and the joyful people. Thanks! Everything worked well especially the connection to the central station.
Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Barbara, but Dave was absolutely lovely. It was great to hear about the process of building their beautiful home. They are very accommodating and we felt very comfortable at their home. At first I thought it was a little far from the city but in fact the tram stops right there and it is takes very little time to get to the central station in the city.

DENVER – As a thanks for their service to the country, some 100 members of the Fort Carson community – service members and their families – will be guests of the University of Colorado for Saturday's football game between the Buffs and the Cal Bears.
CU Athletic Director Rick George and the Athletic Department provided the tickets.
The effort was initiated last year by CU Regents James Geddes and Sue Sharkey, who met with Fort Carson leadership during a visit to the Army base southwest of Colorado Springs.
CU's Office of Government Relations worked on details of the arrangement with Fort Carson. Government Relations and President Bruce Benson's office also are covering the cost of lunch for the military families who attend a pregame event co-presented by the Athletic Department and CU-Boulder's Office of Veteran Services. The lunch begins at 1:30 p.m. in the Glenn Miller Ballroom at the University Memorial Center; game kickoff is at 3:30 p.m.
The Pac-12 contest at Folsom Field on the CU-Boulder campus will feature several observances of Veterans Day, including the annual POW-MIA Memorial Run concluding at the stadium immediately before the game; a coin toss by Lt. Col. Dave Rozelle, professor of military science and Army ROTC commander at CU-Boulder; and a swearing-in ceremony for new U.S. military recruits to take place at the end of the first quarter.

Apartment perfectly located in the historical Prague. 2 steps from all the main monuments and tram / metro. Very friendly service (airport transfer and enjoy poss January tips). Quiet and functional apartment (nothing to take, all equipped).

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The Apartament was located in a good position but was no perfect to clean and inside there are dust too. The baths were small.
Only good price and location nearby the the turistic attractions.
Flat position was quite good. Ten min. walk to Republik sqare. Flat was not very clean but main problem is that the shower and bathroom facilities are weirdly placed in the kitchen. Only a curtain separates the to small areas. Quite odd...Overall the price is too high considering the general state of the flat.
Nice Apartment, good Location - the City Center can be reached by Foot
3rd Floor with Elevator.
A bit unusual is the Fact that Shower and Kitchen share the same Room - divided by Curtains.
One big Double Bed in the Living Room, additional Room with another Double Bed. This one very uncomfortable though.
So under comfortable I understand something else. The room was dirty and the lowest standard, the bed completely uncomfortable and the whole apartment in need of renovation. The only plus the great location.
Also unter komfortable verstehe ich was anderes. Das Zimmer war dreckig und unterster Standart, das Bett total unbequem und die gesamte Wohnung sanierungsbedürftig. Einziges plus die tolle Lage.
Very nice little apartment in a great location. Easy and uncomplicated. We had great days in Prague! :)

The apartment has everything that is necessary for life. Shops and restaurants and also subway within walking distance. Once again many thanks! ! ! To new meetings!

Love Charlie do not like Dakota for this role. Sorry Dakota think your a lovely girl but, Anastasia is breathtaking in a natural beauty look. Bad cast. Hope the movie is good and I know that the chemistry is there so you say… But I do not see it and this will be a hard sell for me.

Great unknown product
Posted by alloriginal on May 22, 2013 | Verified Purchase
Dmae is one of those great unknown products that I love to tell people about! It has a subtle but very real effect on memory and mood. I use 10 drops in 4-5 ounces of water at bedtime, and feel sharper and more organized mentally the next day. I've accidentaly run out before and noticed a difference within a few days. I don't want to be sluggish again! More frequent and more vivid dreams will be seen immediately; the daytime effects will take 2-3 weeks in my experience to be noticeable. This product is non-toxic. It must be kept refrigerated after opening. It doesn't taste great, but to me it's worth it. I believe that nutritional supplements saved my life. I've tried a lot of products, and I know what works and what doesn't. My reviews are honest, straighforward, and based on my experience. Read my other reviews to quickly learn from my three decades of research and experimentation.
Fantastic product

I drop a dropper of this in my coffee so it doesn't make me sleepy. Coffee has caffeine in it but it still relaxes you so much it can make you tired. It's a little bit bitter but I just add a couple extra sweetners to it. This is also a natural mood enhancer and I can feel it! Enjoy!

DMAE is supposed to be a cholinergic, meaning that it increases acetylcholine in the brain and body. When I take DMAE, I feel more focused and a little more energetic than normal.
Love this stuff!
Posted by Reviewer1141768 on Mar 11, 2010 | Verified Purchase
One of the best bargains out there! You get plenty of doses for a small price, and this is the most efficacious form of DMAE - it doesn't compete well for absorption, so best to take it in a glass of plain water on an empty stomach. Helps moods, memory, energy levels. Don't know if it gets to your skin, but DMAE is now used in skin creams.

I take this as an added Choline source to my Pramiracetam regimen. I like this liquid formula, maybe it does make me calmer over period of regular use (about 0.5 ml a day in glass of water). Among it's effects, DMAE can delay the graying of the hair process, and also can prevent the formation of Lipofuscin (by-product of the aging process) and clear the body from it. H3 also has significant, potential anti-aging effects.

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
I have just given a home to a beautiful cockerel in direct breach of my husband's injunction, sneaking him in last weekend he wasn't looking. He soon spotted him and was furious for about 10 seconds then this male bonding thing went on and now I can't keep my husband out of the chicken field. He's there before me every morning praising Percy's hirsuit handsomeness. However I got him on the basis that if anyone locally is upset by his noise, his previous owner will take him back at once. We are quite a long way from our neighbours, lock him up at night and don't let him out till 7.30. So far I have not hear a single doodle do and we sleep on the field side our house, but I won't hesitate to send him back if anyone objects to him.
I love the sound of a cockerel personally but sympathise with those who are driven mad by it. If this was me and it was a residential area I know for sure that I would fetch the cockerel out when the owner was not looking and pluck him and roast him. Whilst this may not be the proper way of dealing with it I would not think twice about it.

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
Good to find a thread with all sides represented; I'd be pleased to hear opinions of my situation as my neighbours think I'm an intolerant townie. They recently put 3 cockrels in separate pens within an area c. 5m by 5m, 10-15m from our bedroom window. They were locked up in houses overnight, but clearly not dark enough or small enough to stop crowing, as they got cracking with the dawn, clearly competing against each other for most and loudest crowing. My neighbours have the best part of an acre of land on the other side of our block of building so I popped round this morning in friendly fashion, explaining I have trouble sleeping anyway and really could do without losing more, to ask if they might think about moving them.
Does this seem unreasonable?

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
I live in a residential area. On one side (100 yards away) there is a main road, on the other side (100 yards away) there is a main line railway track into London Waterloo. Alongside that there is a motorway. Oh yes and we are beneath the Heathrow flight path.
I have never had any noise problems in the more than 40 years I have lived here (if I exclude the bin men at 5:30am on Tuesdays. However this has all changed. The neighbour at the end on my garden (60 feet long) has decided to keep chickens, lots of them and house them in a shed up against my fence. Of course in the natural progression of things, His Majesty comes along. On Saturday and Sunday I counted the number of times I heard him annouce his presence between 2pm and 5pm. It worked out at once every 18 seconds. Is this a record?
I was interested to see what other people's thoughts were on this sonic phenomenon. Pretty much the same as mine I find. I was suprised to see that only one person has mentioned the smell, and am even more surprised to see that there is no mention of the arrival of rats on the hunt for easy pickings (but not from McDonald's) is this a unique feature of my neighbour's flock? It is hard to imagine that it is

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
Fine u live in a village but ppl like me that live in towns have to put up with it too. Is it narrow minded that my 6 year old son gets woken up every hour from someone else's cockerel, is it narrow minded that it's effect his concentration at school. That's with him ring in the furthest away bedroom and all the windows closed. Never mind I work a job that requires me to do 12 hour shifts a day and other peoples lives are in my hands!! It's not narrow minded for people to want to be able to be happy in there homes but consideration to neighbours means a lot. If people want to have livestock that's fine but do it somewhere it won't affect others. I like playing music but I wouldn't play it at 3am so why should I have to put up with other peoples noise.

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
I used to keep hens. I think you'll find that different counties/boroughs, have their bi-laws about keeping livestock. For me it was fine to keep hens, providing that neighbours didn't object. They didn't, even though for a short while we had a cockerel. Do look into your local bi-law covering this subject. You maybe surprised.

You are without doubt the most obnoxious ignorant man I've ever come across in my entire life.
What I don't like is people in towns thinking they are in the countryside. You know, the ones who think it's ok to wake the other 24 families of the street up at 3:30am every morning in the name of nature. The ones who advise you to purchase ear plugs for your kids and think it's fine to wake their neighbours every morning using their very own living alarm clock. Of course they are very careful to position their coup on the opposite side of their own property to minimise their own disturbance.
You are rude and ignorant and I pray upon pray that your sleep be disturbed every night from this day forth as ours is. I also pray that when you complain about it some self righteous imbecile gives you plenty...........
If you don't like people, go and find yourself an island. And bloody well stay there.

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
Town living v country living.
I would much rather `suffer' the sounds of the countryside than those from towns, ie engines revving up, busy traffic areas, etc. Not to mention the stench of traffic fumes.
Give me the countryside every time. Nothing nicer than waking up to the sound of he odd cockerel, cows mooing, sheep bahing, as I do. Love it!
Btw, I know what it's like to live in suburbia so I can speak from experience. Would, by far, prefer to see children growing up in a rural area where the environment is healthier. Towns are never far away in UK so there are choices.

I am no expert but it is one of my favorite handguns that I own. The recoil, mag capacity, and penetration are all pluses. You will hear a lot of folks saying it's just a high dollor .22 magnum but there are a lot of tests that have proven it to be more. FN factory rounds seem to be slower than advertised but you can find specialty rounds on the net to do anything you need. Military or not it's nice to know you can reach out far if needed, or though a metal door, or vest, etc.
There are cons., one is the mag disconnect or whatever they call it, you can't shoot if there is no mag in the gun and you have round in the chamber. The trigger is not great but it's not bad either, you get used to it. There is a company on the web that can make it perfect, trigger work, other things I don't understand, and removing the disconnect if desired (there is a waiting list). The worst thing about this weapon that you can not fix is ammo availability, it is hard to find and doesn't stay around long when you find some. Federal is now starting to make a 5.7 x 28mm round, other than that you are at the mercy of factory FN ammo or high dollar ammo from web company loaders.

Posted by Thomas Husson on April 3, 2013
To borrow from McCann Truth Central, most of us have owned mobile devices (not to mention smartphones) for, on average, 12 years — and we're still figuring out mobile phone behaviors and the impact of mobile on our relationships. We have distinct mobile personalities.
This means we're all mobile teens, trying to envision our futures and figuring out our relationships with others and with brands. If mobile marketing is entering the teenage years, then needless to say, tablet marketing is in its infancy.
To draw the analogy a step further, let's consider marketers as parents. What does this mean? It implies that marketing leaders should help their kids grow and develop, play to their strengths, accept their differences, and reinforce their identities without forcing them to become what they are not. It means that the future will be full of surprises, with unknown territories and new use cases to come for not only smartphones and tablets but also reinvented laptops and personal computers. A lot of the attention will be paid to the new baby (the tablet), certainly creating some conflicts with the older sibling (the smartphone), which is particularly keen to become independent despite its relative immaturity.


text: The amount of trigger movement it takes to actually fire a typical 1911 is rather short. But many have a lot of slack in the triggers. The first part of the pull is just taking up the slack. Only at the very end of the travel does the trigger actually engage the sear and fire the gun. There is no quick/easy way to eliminate the slack. At least that I know of. Some other 1911 experts on here may know.

|st: RE: generate a positive-valued random variable
|Sat, 30 Apr 2005 12:53:11 +0100
I understand an inverse gamma distribution to be defined by taking the reciprocals of a gamma distribution. It would normally have either two or three parameters. For two parameters, the Hilbe-Linde-Zwirble program -rndgamma- offers one solution. Bobby Gutierrez's program -gengamma- is more general yet, covering both two and three parameter cases. Naturally I can't tell you whether this particular distribution, out of many defined to be entirely positive, will do what you want. Nick email@example.com Jun Xu > I am still using Stata 8.

The apartment was located in a safe neighborhood and clean.
You have everything (supermarket, restaurants) close by, but to the metro station (subte) you have to walk about 10 min.
It was easy to communicate with the landlord, but because of the dividing wall the apartment is very dark. For this reason you cannot study there after 6 o'clock.
El alojamiento y el barrio, bien. Hay ruido del edificio en obras adyacente, que dificulta el reposo.

So Aviva and I took a great trip to Hershey with Evan and Emma.
ZooAmerica. Not quite as grand as we expected but we had fun.
The best was Chocolate World.
We saw the 10,000+++ lb Hershey's Kiss
they built to beat the world record. Very cool.
Aviva got to "make" chocolate PHOTO_ID_L=third_week_of_camp_014.jpg
and eat lots of candy. Fun for all.
Also, I completed the all women's philly triathlon. It was a great time and I felt honored to share it with Jodi!! The only downer was I got lost in West Philly which apparently is not the safest area in the world. With lots of guidance from Evan via cell phone and the internet I survived...barely!
Camp has settled a bit. The health center is still busy but we got throught the crazy first 2 weeks. I guess there is always a learning curve when you do something new. The weather the past 2 days has been beautiful. The younger boys and girls had a dance.
I got a sneak peek. Aviva even dressed up to go. PHOTO_ID_R=third_week_of_camp_039.jpg]
Big news: Ari won the "let's make a deal". A dress up contest. He was wearing swim goggles, shin guards on his arms and some crazy clothes. When they asked him what he was dressed up as he answered, "I don't have any idea." He kept winning each round and eventually won the whole deal camp wide. His statement to me was, "I LOVE CAMP!! Especially when I win candy." Plus he got a few free Pinemere t-shirts, etc. He was glowing. Alex got bull's eye's this week during archery and lost one of his baby teeth.
The tooth fairy managed to find him way out here in Stroudsburg. Jacob played in the 3 on 3 soccer tournament and had a blast.
Aviva and I met grammy PHOTO_ID_L=third_week_of_camp_043.jpg
at the Palisades mall yesterday so Aviva was very happy to see her. They are looking forward to visiting day next week. Well off to bed!

Communications: Competing for the fickle subscriber
Page Tools
The phone company used to be just that, a phone company. These days, though, wireline connections are just about the most boring part of a telcos portfolio.
The data business, for example, has exploded. Telcos now provide leased circuits, ISDN [integrated services digital network] and ADSL [asymmetric digital subscriber line] lines for businesses. They also provide data solutions over GSM [Global System for Mobile Communications] and GPRS [General Packet Radio Service] networks.
Where voice is still interesting is in the mobile-phone business, a highly competitive market with high subscriber churn rates, complex billing issues because of pre- and post-paid users, and marketing issues owing to intense competition.
Telecommunications companies are big users of technology. They rely on it to deliver voice across different types of connections and they depend on newer and better networks to deliver data faster.
They need robust billing systems that can handle different types of customers for different types of services. And now, most of them need customer relationship management (CRM) applications to help them compete for fickle, but profitable, mobile-phone customers.
In the past year, the big telcos in the MIS100 have been working on improving their billing and CRM systems, and on upgrading their networks to provide new services to customers.
Given the multitude of services that telcos now offer, its no wonder that updating billing systems is one of the more popular projects among telcos.
SingTel, one of the biggest telcos in Asia, is migrating its customer care and billing system from a mainframe to a Unix-based platform. It expects to complete the migration by year-end. Following that, SingTel will enhance its shop front order-taking applications and its call centre.
Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom) is also feeling the pressure to improve its CRM and billing systems. This is because the company has introduced a successful CDMA [Code-Division Multiple Access] service in Jakarta and other cities in Indonesia. Telkom has already made improvements so that customers can access their bill statements via SMS [Short Message Service].
Advanced Info Service, the largest mobile telecommunications provider in Thailand with close to 13 million customers, is in the final stage of replacing its legacy billing system. It is implementing its integrated rating and billing software, C-Care, which includes CRM features.
In the Philippines, meanwhile, Globe Telecom says it will focus on improving its billing and CRM systems next year.
Improving the network
Telcos have also been busy upgrading their networks to offer more services. In January this year, Smart Communications, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Companys (PLDT) wireless unit, announced that it had signed a US$117 million contract with Nokia to supply GSM/EDGE [Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution] and next-generation equipment.
AIS has also been rolling out EDGE technology. Last October, AIS and Nokia signed a US$23 million agreement for the expansion of GSM/GPRS and a rollout of EDGE networks in the northern, central and southern regions of Thailand. In April, AIS signed a deal with Siemens Mobile under which the latter will equip AIS mobile communication network in the provinces with EDGE technology.
In June, AIS picked Ericsson for the second phase of its EDGE expansion in Bangkok. AIS also chose Ericsson as the sole supplier for its MMS [Multimedia Message Service] solution. The contracts were valued at US$18.7 million.
The hoopla about third-generation (3G) networks has well and truly died. 3G phones were going to offer unlimited bandwidth, people would be videoconferencing while walking down the street, and consumers were going to hand over all their money to the telcos.
Reality has intruded, however. Only Hong Kongs Hutchison Telecommunications has rolled out any 3G networks so far, in Britain, Italy and, most recently, Hong Kong. Unfortunately for Hutchison, it has been dogged by technical problems and a cool response from consumers.
SingTel awarded its 3G contract to Ericsson, in a deal worth US$125 million. Required by the regulator to deliver a 3G network by the end of this year, it has started trials in Singapore.
Tangling with SAP
In another development, SingTel has acquired Australian mobile operator Optus, and now has to integrate the two companies. A regional team has been formed in Sydney to support the SAP systems for both Australia and Singapore, which SingTel estimates will save it about A$5 million (US$3.48 million) annually.
Telkom is working on its SAP R/3 application, which has extended its reach into the human resources and finance divisions. The company is now finetuning its material management module for supply chain management.
Creating new services
One of the nice things for IT departments that are working for telcos is that they have opportunities to create new services. This is exactly what the IT team at Globe Telecom did. In just three weeks, Globes IT department, working with a partner, came up with a new consumer service called Share-a-load in the Philippines.
The service allows users to add value to pre-paid accounts in one-peso (US$0.017) increments. The service has been very successful, says Rodell A. Garcia, vice president and CIO. It won the Most Innovative Service of the Year award at this years CommunicAsia trade show in Singapore.
Not too much outsourcing has been taking place in the telecommunications industry. One notable exception, however, is PLDT, which has entered into a data storage outsourcing deal with EMC. PLDT has upgraded its storage solution and put in place an information lifecycle management strategy.
According to CIO Eugenio Garcia, the strategy enables PLDT to do more with less, while providing the right service levels to the business units.
