I agree with Meghan. Kids who wear their names well can often make me reconsider a name that I once disliked. I used to teach preschool in college and had a student named Bebe (a name that, based on my "naming style," I wouldn't normally like). To this day, I love the name Bebe because it always makes me think of my sweet student who was rainbows and sunshine all day long.
I met a 3 y.o. boy named Arthur about a year ago. He was so sweet and just bursting with character. I had never really considered Arthur to be a viable name; it felt very dated to me, but this little boy brought some fresh air to the name. I'm still not sure that Arthur would make it to my personal favorites list, but now I definitely like it.

Love the name Daphne! This kinda happened with Violet. My cousin named her daughter this and I thought it was totally out there and I didn't like it at first. Now it's grown on me! Also Delilah. I hated it because of that song. Someone I know named his daughter this and I actually kinda like it now!Top 10 girl's names: Serena * Audrey * Sienna * Bridget * Lucy * Hazel * Cordelia * Josephine * Claire * Alice

I used to love Daphne! It's still officially on my top 10, but I've sort of fallen out of love with it. I would love to meet a little Daphne to make me love it again!
I do know exactly what you mean, though--I met the sweetest little girls named Anna-Rose and Anneliese this past summer, they were so sweet and charming and they made me love the two names!Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

Weird to see Mr. Fish's appropriately biting Norman Rockwell-riffing illustration to Chris Hedges' piece on anti-Muslim hatred, and then see this, which basically does the same thing to Christianity that the Hedges piece denounces when it's done to Islam. There are Muslims who promote terrorism. The problem is that racists, hawks, and others use this to paint all of Islam as a violent, threatening institution. There are also Christians who promote violence, or simply spread fear, guilt, etc., but it is equally wrong to use this fact to equate the figure of Jesus or the entirety of Christianity with intimidation and fearmongering.
I'm a Catholic, but if I created a copy of Rockwell's "The Problem We All Live With" depicting Ruby Bridges as a little Catholic school girl and put the word "mackerelsnapper" on the wall above her, I am guessing Mr. Fish would dismiss me as an alarmist with a rather ridiculous victim mentality. He might be right, inasmuch as Christians are not being persecuted to the degree Muslims are in the U.S. today. But I hope he would also agree that intolerance and prejudice are a problem not of degree but of kind. I find it hard to believe Mr. Fish doesn't know Christians who are critical thinkers and find freedom in their faith. To imply that Jesus' followers are universally otherwise is intentionally misleading. Sad to see from a cartoonist who is usually about telling hard truths.

Mr.Fish is obviously delusional and doesn't know the first thing about Jesus and the truth of His message.

Thousands of protesters demanding an end to the occupation of Iraq took to the streets in London, Athens, Paris and other cities today, calling for the withdrawal of troops and chanting slogans attacking the US and British governments.
"No more war. No more lies" proclaimed a banner pinned to the pedestal of Nelson's Column in London's Trafalgar Square where about 20,000 people rallied after a march through the city. People of all ages, from gray-haired couples to toddlers in strollers, joined the orderly stream of protesters marching from Hyde Park.
At smaller rallies in a dozen other countries, as in London, demonstrators added the Palestinian cause to their campaign.
In a Paris crowd of 3,000, some marched behind a wide banner that read, "American Imperialism: Take your bloody hands off the Middle East." Others held aloft posters that read "Wanted: George W Bush - War Criminal."
In London, some young marchers chanted, "George Bush, Uncle Sam, Iraq will be your Vietnam!"
The international protests, the first major demonstrations since the fall of Saddam Hussein in April, were held as the United States tried to gain international help in rebuilding Iraq, where American troops regularly come under attack.
Opposition to the war has always been strong in Britain. Several large peace protests were held during the war, though none matched the vast rally on February 15, before the conflict began, when between 750,000 and 2 million people marched through central London.
Now, questions about Prime Minister Tony Blair's tactics in trying to win public support before invading Iraq have left his government struggling through its worst crisis. The ruling Labor Party is still well ahead of the opposition in opinion polls, but the public's faith in the government and in Blair personally has eroded.
A new poll conducted from September 11-16 and published today in the Financial Times found 50 per cent of those questioned said Blair should step aside and let someone else in the party lead the country. The newspaper did not give the sample size or margin of error.
The London protest today was timed for the eve of the governing party's annual conference for "maximum political impact," said Andrew Burgin, spokesman for Stop the War Coalition, one of the rally's organisers.
Opponents of Blair reject the justification he used for war - the threat of Iraqi biological and chemical weapons. No such weapons have yet been found.
"I don't believe the war with Iraq was right and the proof is we haven't found any weapons of mass destruction," said London protester Emma Loebid, 20. "I think they should hand Iraq back to the Iraqis and get the troops out."
Twenty-year-old Liban Kahiye, also in London, said, "I don't believe British and American troops should still be in Iraq. Every day you hear stories of innocent people being killed - that's not justice."
Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, another organiser of today's march, said a big demonstration would send a strong message to the government that the public did not condone what it called "lies" used to justify the war.
Outside the US Embassy in Athens, demonstrators hurled bottles and yoghurt at riot police during a rally to protest against the occupation of Iraq and the Palestinian territories. About 3,000 protesters, chanting "Occupiers Out" and "Freedom for Palestine," joined the rally.
Protests were also staged in other parts of Greece and on the island of Crete, outside an American naval base at Souda Bay. The base supports the US 6th Fleet and spy planes.
In Seoul, thousands of activists protested against a US request to send South Korean troops to Iraq. Protesters chanted "No war!" and carried banners saying "End the occupation in Iraq" and "Oppose a plan to dispatch S Korean combat troops to Iraq"
Some 4,000 protesters in the Turkish capital, Ankara, shouted slogans and unfurled banners to support the Palestinian cause and demand an end to the US-led occupation of Iraq. Hundreds more gathered at a similar rally in Istanbul and burned American and Israeli flags.
In downtown Cairo, about 50 political activists and journalists staged a peaceful protest against the US-led occupation of Iraq and Israeli attacks on Palestinians.
In Warsaw, 100 young people protesting against the Polish military presence in Iraq, marched with banners saying "Down with the global US terrorism" and "We don't want to occupy with Bush."
About 400 people marched through downtown Berlin and in Stockholm, police said about 250 people staged a demonstration. An estimated 1,200 protesters marched through Brussels.

Travel Blogs from Dresden
... off for a while, and we enjoyed the sight of the wonderful, old buildings (painstakingly restored from War-time bombing), and the large riverboats too, which take daytrippers along the Elbe and its tributaries to places like Leipzig.
The New Town is much more modern, and "bohemian", which in this case means lots of arty cafes and shops, graffiti (some beautiful, some not) and quirky people, students and all the rest of it. We walked up ...
The City of Kristallnacht
... is somewhat surprising, considering the hammering it received during WWII - particularly on Kristallnacht.
The city is a mix of very modern development and new shopping malls and shops along with the 15th And 16th century historic buildings and cobblestone streets.
We continued to check out the town until 7:30 when our bodies ran out of fuel. Before heading to bed, we shared a bottle of Reisling in the room and toasted the city if Dresden.

World Cup Fever
So the funny thing about Dresden is that we had no intention of going there in the first place, and then when we decided to, we were a week late. Let me explain. When we discovered that Germany had made it to the World Cup Final, we came up with the great idea that it would be awesome to actually be in Germany for the final!!! However, somehow I got it in my head that the final was on a week later than it actually was. Before we realised this, we had changed our train ticket ...
Morning Horror Story
... her flat and a trip to another palace, this time Moritzburg, a fairy tale castle, all square and yellow, with four great big corner towers and surrounded by a large lake. On a bright sunny evening, it looked fabulous with everything sharp and crystal clear. We rounded off the day with a hearty and tasty meal in a cosy Russian bar, although I fear that I forgot the name of the beer, which was a bit disgraceful.
It had been a most convivial and agreeable end to a day of very mixed emotions.
Days 98 & 99 - Don't doubt Dresden
... and we're so glad we went down for a look. There were many old Castles, Cathedrals and Synagogues which sat picturesquely along the river. We walked around the Castle grounds, then went into the old Cathedral for a look. This was initially built in Protestant style, but was changed part way through to Catholic, as the rule changed. After a few hours of walking around we headed back up to the hostel and spent the afternoon doing our washing. It took a while!! Staying ...

Chicken Burgers
In this recipe, submitted by reader Deurie Barker of Sanford, North Carolina, dark-meat chicken makes the patties as savory and juicy as beef burgers. Saute the vegetables until they're fully tender for the best flavor and texture.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, May 2008
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 pound ground dark-meat chicken
- 4 hamburger buns
- Lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, for serving
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add onion, bell pepper, and celery; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; cool to room temperature (reserve skillet).
Add chicken to vegetable mixture in bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix to combine. Shape mixture into four 4-inch-wide patties.

HELP - Tub/Shower Combo Leaking
Have a tub/shower combo... walls are seamed on the inside corners. Looks like 3 - piece wall unit. Originally seemed well fitted but I caulked it anyhow. Now, after 1.5 years of use have a leak on the pipe side, seeping out where the surround meets the tub. Constant drizzle when water is flowing from shower head and/or being splashed. The fixture for the tub spout and water lever were not caulked. Is that where my leak is?
You could be leaking in several areas. Caulking is not permanent first off, it does need periodic maintenance pending use, check the cualk carefully and remove and replace as needed.
The spout and trim plate(s) for the handles should be caulked as well, but not 100%, leave them open on the bottom so as any trapped or leaking water in there has an escape route.
If all else fails, start with the easiest items, check the teflon wrap around the threads on the shower head arm where it goes through the wall, then the spout (if threaded, check the teflon, if slip on, check the seal). After all that check the connections where the water supply meets the valve, both in and out sides.

Here is the complete transcript of Tom Brady's postgame press conference following New England's 31-14 win over the Buccaneers Thursday night.
On whether or not he was happy to be back out on the field.
"It was fun. It's been a while since we've had a chance to be out there. After sitting last week, I think a lot of the guys were antsy to be out there. I'm glad we put some points on the board, but obviously a lot of things that we could do better too. We'll use it really as a tool to get better, and hopefully come out and play better next week."
On the fact they got Chad Ochocinco involved, and whether it was nice to see him get a touchdown
"It was. He's really finding a role for himself. He's been practicing hard, he's very competitive. It's a good group we have out there. We've just got to continue to build. All of us, it's just, we haven't played in a long time so everyone's a bit rusty out there. It will be good to get back to practice this week so we can really take what we learned from the game and try to get better in practice."
On if he saw the Woodhead hit
"Yeah. I jumped up because it looked like him, but he's a tough guy – running off the field. I mean, he's unbelievable."
On the play of his offensive line
"It was a good night, and they always do a great job, they take a lot of pride in that. It's a group that's been together for a while now – excluding Nate [Solder] who's stepped in – but they fight hard. I thought we ran the ball really well, we stayed out of negative plays for the most part, and when you're able to stay on track like that and put a bunch of good plays together, you usually get in the endzone."
On their offensive performance in the first half
"I mean, we expect to go out there and score. I think we had six drives, four of them ended in touchdowns, we were good in the red area. The one drive we got penalized, and didn't make much out of that drive, and the last one was the two minute drive. So there was some good, there was plenty of bad, I'm sure we're going to – I'm sure I'm going to see the film tomorrow – and be disappointed with some of the things that I wish I probably could have done better. We've just got to build on it and understand there were things we did wrong, and try to make the corrections."
On the fact Brady was so hard on himself a couple of week ago, and if this was the best he's felt?
"No, no. I think that there's a lot of things that I need to do better out there, I think there;s a lot of things that we as an offense need to do better. I thought the defense really got us the ball in great field position early in the first quarter. We took advantage of some of the penalties that they had. We got the ball, we got it moving, made some good runs, and made the plays in the red area when we needed to. Still too many things where we need ot do a better job. We'll all go in there and see the film, and see things that we screwed up and hopefully go out there and try and improve on them."
On if he saw anything specific with Bucs defender Sean Jones on the two touchdowns he threw against him.
"He's a very good player, he's an experienced player. Nothing that we tried to really take advantage of. I think it just happened to be there at that time. But he's an excellent player, he'll be a good player in this defense."
On his reaction when Woodhead got hit
"He got hit pretty hard. That's football, there's guys moving fast out there, especially on punt returns, or any of the returns that things are happening so fast. He just turned his head and the guy really gave it to him good. Like I said, he's a tough guy, I know everyone's worried about him as his teammates would be, but hopefully he's O.K."
On his conversations with Chad Ochocinco and getting in sync
"You know, we've missed a lot of time. I think that's the reality of what's happened this offseason. We've missed a lot of time over the course of six months where we really couldn't do anything football-wise. So a lot of it is just trying to continue to talk and the only way you can make corrections is to communicate. So we're always trying to communicate between the two of us. And even with Deion [Branch] and Wes [Welker], we haven't played football together in eight months either being on the field together. So a lot of it is the receiver group, the tight end group, the quarterbacks and the skill guys really being on the same page so you can anticipate the things that are going on out there, you can play with confidence, and then you can go out there and make the tight plays in those tight situations."
On the fact that you can't just magically have two guys work well together even though he and Chad are All pros.
"Not football. I mean it's a hard sport man, there's nothing easy about it. I mean dropping back, finding the right guy to throw to, and those guys running the right route at the right depth, at the right time, there's a lot of work that needs to be put into it. You're right, it's not something that you just magically, 'Hey, let's talk about it,' and now we're good at it. You've got to put the work in. You've got to practice. You've got to make the mistakes so you can make the corrections, and that's what we're trying to do. That's what we try to do when we're in the game, we're out of the game, we're on the practice field, we're in the walkthroughs, we're in the meeting rooms. We're always communicating so that when it does come to the game time, you feel that each and everyone's really confident in one another, and the guy that you're playing next to is really confident in what he's doing, so you have a lot of confidence in him."

Conceptual plans presented for Quarterdeck renovation
NISSWA – Quarterdeck Partners LLC presented preliminary concepts Monday to the Cass County Planning Commission for converting their existing resort and restaurant on Gull Lake to a lodge, conference center and new restaurant.
The firm released information Wednesday with conceptual photos of the planned lodging facility.
Quarterdeck Partners purchased the 27-acre property on Gull Lake in April 2012 from long-time owners Alan and Jane Gunsbury.
During his first year managing the resort and restaurant, Quarterdeck Partners manager Tom Steffens said Gull Lake neighbors expressed excitement about having the restaurant back. They also appreciated the new docking system but expressed wishes for a greater choice of lodging floor plans, he said.
Neighbors sought a smaller villa option on a single level and suggested a four-season indoor/outdoor heated swimming pool, fitness center, tennis court and banquet room to accommodate groups of 100 or more, he said.
To fulfill these requests, Quarterdeck Partners have aligned themselves with SunStream Hotels and Resorts, a Fort Myers Beach, Fla., headquartered business.
SunStream's president, David Lawrence, is originally from Minnesota.
"Gull Lake is part of my family history. Growing up, our family always enjoyed staying at various Gull Lake resorts," Lawrence said.
"SunStream Hotels and Resorts has over 26 years of experience in development, real estate and hospitality management. We not only develop hotels and resorts but also operate them once completed. With over 400 employees in Florida alone, SunStream consistently delivers quality products that exceed expectations of owners and guests," he added.
Until construction begins on the new lodge, Quarterdeck Resort will continue its normal operations through 2013.
Quarterdeck Partnership plans to submit development applications to Cass County within the next month, according to Steffens.
Once county approval has been obtained for the new development, the older existing cabins, lodge and the restaurant will be razed to make way for the new lodge, a new restaurant and outdoor patio and a new dockage system to welcome restaurant and fuel patrons as well as lodge guests, Lawrence said.
SunStream acknowledges the importance of protecting the environment's natural resources and has been recognized for other environmentally conscientious lodging facilities in Florida, he said. The same philosophy will be used during the construction of GullView Lodge, according to Lawrence.
Plans for the lodge include 68 guest suites, with studio, one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom floor plans ranging in size from 355 square feet to 1,354 square feet. All suites will be fully designer furnished, including linens and housewares, Lawrence said. Prices are expected to start from the mid $100s, including the use of a boat slip. The GullView Lodge concept is that of a commercial condominium, whereby purchasers will be able to occupy their suites up to six months of the year at times of their choosing. During periods when not owner occupies, the suites will be rented by other lodge guests.
Planned amenities in the lodge include a four-season indoor/outdoor pool on the lower level, a guest reception lobby on the main level and a conference/banquet facility on the third level. All will have lake views. Also planned are a fitness center and game room overlooking the pool and an outdoor tennis court and an outdoor children's playground.
Information about SunStream and their portfolio of hotels and resorts is available on their website, SunStream.com.

Chicago Financier Matt Hulsizer Likely To Make Offer For Coyotes
Published September 2, 2010
|Investment Banker Hulsizer
Identified As Coyotes Bidder
PEAK6 Investments CEO Matthew Hulsizer is "in the final stages of negotiating a new arena lease agreement with the City of Glendale after which Hulsizer is expected to make an offer to purchase the Coyotes from the NHL," according to sources cited by Scott Burnside of ESPN.com. The "emergence of the Chicago-based financier and former collegiate hockey player comes at a time when negotiations between" Ice Edge Holdings and Glendale city officials "have stalled." Sources contend that Hulsizer may represent the "last, best chance to keep" the Coyotes in Arizona. It is "unknown what role the Ice Edge Group will play as negotiations between Hulsizer and the City of Glendale proceed." But there is a "likelihood some members of the Ice Edge group will stay on as minority investors and/or in some sort of operations role if Hulsizer is successful in purchasing the team." Ice Edge also could "move on to invest in another NHL franchise." Ice Edge CEO Keith McCullough in a statement earlier this week said, "An announcement could happen soon (in Arizona). If this occurs, we expect to continue to be involved with the Coyotes as an adviser for the foreseeable future" (ESPN.com, 9/1). In Winnipeg, Gary Lawless writes Hulsizer is "reported to have deep pockets and the ability to purchase the Coyotes for the expected $170-million the NHL will demand." Glendale officials "would not confirm Hulsizer's interest" (WINNIPEG FREE PRESS, 9/2).

The Remains of the Day, or Upstairs, Downstairs and Back in the Closet
With his typical flair and elan, James Wolcott saves me the bothersome work of once again troubling to sort through the mottled, blotchy landscape of one Andrew Sullivan's mind:
"No wonder you're all mixed up. You got a white man's first name, a Spanish man's second name, and a black man's third name."I still haven't recovered from reading this Sullivan statement earlier in the day (and even though I had first seen it quite a while ago):
...Mickey Rivers, one of the greatest comedians ever to roam the outfield, diagnosing the identity crisis of teammate Reginald Martinez Jackson, better known as Reggie.
A similar condition bedevils Andrew Sullivan, whose sensible name badges a multicar pileup of identity conflict. He's a gay British Catholic Tory conservative"eagle" who deplores the etiolated patriotism and willpower of the coastal elites but resides in the blue lagoons of Washington, DC and Provincetown. His sympathies keep[] tugging him in so many different directions that he intellectually resembles Steve Martin in All of Me, herkily-jerkily battling with himself as if being yanked by an invisible leash. (Read his graf today about the nomination of Albert Gonzalez for A.G. and watch him tug himself back and forth.)
For all of his lofty rhetoric, which catches the tailwind of Tony Blair's, Sullivan gets a little peckish when the lower ranks forget their place and question their duties. Atrios today provides several prize examples. I will only note Sullivan's interesting choice of words in the following:That statement constitutes a glimpse into what passes for Sullivan's soul that I genuinely didn't need. (It is rivaled by a statement I discuss in the second half of this essay concerning the elections in Spain last year and the reaction of certain hawks -- and about the authoritarian bloodlust occasionally revealed when the warhawks let slip their very thin veneer of civilization.)
"I'm sorry but I pay for those soldiers to fight in a volunteer army. They are servants of people like me who will never fight. Yes, servants of civil masters."
Servants? Masters? Some Brits just can't let go of the remains of the day.
But seeing Sullivan's remarks again just now, this thought occurs to me: Thank God that our soldiers are not servants of people like Sullivan. At least, I certainly hope they're not.
Given Sullivan's ability to deny the reality planted directly in front of him -- even when that reality is a screaming, bloody-stumped failure of a foreign policy -- if Sullivan had been giving orders, every single one of our soldiers would have been massacred by now.
Although, come to think of it, it probably is someone not unlike Sullivan in crucial respects: we seem to be doing all too well in the death department. But it's all for a"democratic Iraq," right? Please. Please. Please.
By the way, Spencer Ackerman also notes the"new optimism" that now grips our State Department:
There are some parts of the Sunni Triangle where the security right now, frankly, is not that bad. In parts of Diyala Province, some parts of Salahuddin Province, some parts of Nineveh Province, [the situation] is not all blood and fire and destruction in all places every day.There are"some parts" where the situation"is not all blood and fire and destruction in all places every day"!
This, as I am certain you realize, is undeniably wonderful news -- and a sure sign that democracy will take hold throughout the entire Middle East by next Monday.
At the very latest. Never let it be said that the State Department surpassed me as far as optimism is concerned.

Point taken, Steve, that the links weren't precisely on point -- but I meant generally what Max Swing indicates. And I also intended the general point discussed in Chris Sciabarra's entry above -- which is, in brief, that even in the extremely unlikely event that "democracy" takes hold in Iraq temporarily, it is highly unlikely that it will survive. To all of which I would add the point that it is hardly the job of our military to go around establishing "democracies." It is the military's job to protect us from serious, present threats (or almost present), which Iraq never was -- and which was entirely clear at the time of the invasion, despite all the government propaganda to the contrary.

I think he just refers to the point, that violence is escalading and the situatio gets worth every day. A democratic change change would also be a change to less violence and more tolerance, although I'd say that'd be more of a constitutional state (which the US claimed it is)...
Steve Burton - 1/4/2005
I read all three of your links labeled "please" questioning whether the occupation is "all for a democratic Iraq."
I don't get it.
So there are lots of minority Sunnis who are P.O.'d about the prospect of losing their recent dominance over the Shi'a majority. P.O.'d enough to go around killing people somewhat indiscriminately.
How does that call into question the democratic character of the change that we are trying to bring about there?
If thousands of white South Africans had gone around shooting and/or blowing people up after the collapse of Apartheid, would that have made the transition to black rule somehow undemocratic?

This is the exact point I was trying to make. If the Olympic Movement wishes to present itself using specific narratives, then they should not be surprised that narratives regarding boycotts arise if they select a host that do not even reflect their own narratives, let alone international standards of citizenship rights that are reflected in every major international governmental organization.The bottom line is : What does the modern Olympic movement stand for? Differences between countries will always happen, that's a given. However, the line needs to be drawn somewhere. Would it be acceptable to give the Olympics to a country where women showing their legs in public is condemned and/or forbidden? Should we respect that as well? Would that be consistent with the Olympic charter?
And to respond to someone amount the potential to cause feelings of alientation: Yes, it would be alienating some states but history has shown through South Africa that the prevention of a state from the Olympic Games can have serious political repercussions and be one component of political change for the better.

Apple in Disgrace due to Samsung's Craftiness
A U.S. judge mandated Apple to unveil details of its patent-sharing deal with HTC to its competitor, Samsung.
Though, Apple signed a 10-year license agreement and HTC earlier this month, however, did not make the agreement details public. U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal in San Jose, Calif., ordered Apple, on Nov. 21, 2012, to yield a copy of agreement under a lawyer. Since financial terms of licensing agreements for other third parties have been unveiled in the patent-infringement case between Apple and Samsung.
"HTC is not entitled to special treatment, especially when it has recognized the general sufficiency of the protective order and the integrity of Samsung's outside counsel," Grewal wrote, Nov. 21, 2012, according to Bloomberg.
"It is clearly a very smart move from Samsung - because the general feeling is that a lot of its patent disputes with Apple are very likely to be similar to those between HTC and Apple," according to BBC news.
The verdict is the cutting-edge obstacle for Apple in its various quarrels with rivals.

A real estate partnership can be a lucrative venture for many individuals with a limited amount of money to invest. Forming a partnership will increase your working capital, and you'll be able to buy properties you couldn't afford on your own.
However, there are some significant risks that can come with forming a partnership. If you choose the wrong person or company to do business with, you could find that your investment quickly becomes a loss.
Before entering into any sort of real estate business partnership, make sure you do your homework on who you'll be working with.
Knowing Your Partner
Entering into a real estate partnership with another person or company is something you should do only after you understand who you're working with. While helpful to work with people you know and trust, there are some questions you should ask any person or company before considering a partnership.
● How much money do you have to invest? How is your credit score?
● How many properties do you currently own?
● When do you expect to make a profit from your properties? Do you plan on holding properties for years or do you want a quick turnaround to leverage into other ventures?
● Have you had other real estate partnerships in the past? Do you currently have other real estate partners? Do you have references to any past or current partners?
Understanding Your Partnership Agreement
Before you commit to any type of partnership, it's essential that you come up with an agreement as to how the partnership is going to work. The most important things you need to discuss when setting up a real estate partnership include:
● How partners will get paid and when. Do partners share profits or are profits tied to resale only?
● What your responsibilities in the partnership are. Usually, one partner will manage properties while another is responsible for finding new properties. Of course, all partnerships differ. Defined roles are important.
● Is the partnership going to be reviewed at certain times? Many partnerships review profits about once per year. After all, not all partnerships are worth maintaining if there's no growth or profit.
Hire an Attorney
If you form a good partnership, chances are you won't ever need to consult your attorney. However, you do need to hire a qualified attorney who will help you setup your partnership.
Trying to do it yourself will most likely leave big gaps in your contract, and unless you're incredibly well versed in business partnerships, those gaps could create potential problems down the road when it becomes time to sell properties, split profits, or dissolve the partnership and its assets.
Hiring an attorney seems costly, but it's going to cost you a lot less than a business partnership gone wrong.
A real estate partnership is often an excellent way to make more money than you ever could on your own while balancing the work that real estate investing takes. However, partner with the wrong person, and you could end up losing all of the money that you had to invest.
Do your homework and ask questions, and always set up a binding legal agreement that helps both partners understand how they'll be working together and how they'll be able to exit the partnership if needed.

We have posted KitchenAid vs Bosch in terms of our best selling brands, but KitchenAid vs Jenn-Air is more interesting.
Jenn-Air and KitchenAid have similar stories. KitchenAid was purchased by Whirlpool in the 1980s by Hobart. Hobart was primarily a commercial dishwasher manufacturing company, but had recently purchased Chambers company for cooking. The original KitchenAid dishwasher tub was porcelain before Whirlpool invested in stainless
JennAir was originally an independent company manufacturing mostly downdrafts. They were also purchased by Maytag who relabelled the porcelain Maytag dishwashers with the Jenn-Air logo. When the moribund Maytag company was sold to Whirlpool in 2003, Whirlpool changed the dishwasher to all stainless
As it turns out, they share more in common than a tub
Let's look:
Jenn-Air JDB3200AWS $599
KitchenAid KUDE40FXSS $1099
- Both are integrated
- Both have stainless inside and outside
- Both have the same features
Similar features include: Disposer/shredder ring, sani rinse and adjustable rack as well as cycles
The difference: The KitchenAid has an adjustable top rack and a price premium of $500 (must be a gold covered rack). They are similar, because Jenn-Air and KitchenAid are the same dishwasher.
As I first wrote this in 2011, you want to buy whichever is cheaper or in a package buy the one with the similar handles and better overall rebates
For differences between features, brands and terms of dishwashers, consider downloading our Dishwasher Buyers Guide.

Offseason moves: Lost Reggie Bush (free agent, Detroit)
Analysis: The Dolphins used draft picks the last two years to bring in Thomas and Miller in the hopes of building depth and/or finding their running back of the future, but the truth is Bush was the team's most dynamic offensive player the last two years. But now Bush is gone after the Dolphins reportedly made little effort to re-sign him. Thomas showed flashes in his first two years, but he's also had problems with injuries. Miller is the wild card here because he possesses intriguing ability but needs to learn the finer points of the game. Lane is solid as the fullback, while Thigpen was a find out of the CFL as a kick returner. The Dolphins have a lot of confidence in Miller's long-term ability, but it's the fact that there's little prove talent on the roster at this point.
The draft class: It's no great secret that the running back position has lost importance in recent years, but teams always will make an exception for exceptional prospects. Unfortunately, there isn't that kind of back — like Trent Richardson last year — in this draft. It actually looks like a rather mediocre class.
The top prospect: Eddie Lacy, Alabama
Likely first-round picks: Eddie Lacy
Overrated prospects: Giovani Bernard, North Carolina; Montee Ball, Wisconsin
Under-the-radar prospects: Stepfan Taylor, Stanford

Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton today issued an urgent appeal after her dog went missing while on its daily walk in north London.
The 37-year-old singer used Twitter and her Heart FM breakfast programme to plead for help in finding her six-year-old chocolate brown Labrador Phoebe after she ran off yesterday in the 70-hectare Monken Hadley Common between Barnet and Cockfosters yesterday afternoon.
Speaking on the breakfast show this morning she said: "I'm desperate and so upset and worried sick.
"She's a big softie and I know she will be so scared. My two gorgeous dogs were on a walk yesterday and Phoebe disappeared.
"We were out there for hours until late last night looking for her and she still hasn't come back. Please help."
Bunton also posted a message on Twitter to her 880,000 followers yesterday afternoon saying: "My gorgeous brown Labrador went missing on daily walk, she will be so scared, please look out around east Barnet, Hadley Wood, Trent Park."
Bandmate Melanie Chisholm also posted the appeal on her own Twitter feed while followers offered advice and reassurance that the dog would be found.
Bunton has had Phoebe since she was a puppy. The dog was a gift from Jones in 2007 when Bunton was pregnant with her first son and she said at the time: "We thought now would be a good time to get a dog - I guess it's a good trial run for the baby."
Phoebe is named after the character in the US sitcom Friends and Bunton says she has been microchipped, making it easy for her to be identified if she is found and taken to a vet.

Who's got just 10-15 Pounds?

tpea-I hear what you are saying. The same thing has happened to me. Two years ago I lost 23 lbs in about 4 months by eating healthy and doing zumba each day. I was diligent and consistent. Well, I unfortunately fell off the routine...especially after a 3 week road trip that included a week at mom's house....My mom shows love through LOTS of great home cooked meals....anyway, I slowly gained much of the weight back (140 lbs down to 117 lbs and up to 135). So I said to myself, "I've done this before, I can do this again, I'll just work out to zumba, I know the food choices that work for me" Three weeks in it....nothing! I started getting discouraged and quite honestly still am I little..but here is the deal...I know that eventually it will pay off anyway. I'm eating healthy and exercising. I don't starve myself..just choose fruits and veggies more often and try filling up on those mostly before I have the "heavier" foods. One thing I will mention. When I went for my physical and had my blood drawn my thyroid function has definitely changed. Two years ago I was at 1....this year it was listed at 3.9 (At most labs in the U.S., the normal range is from around 0.5 to 5.5. However, as of spring 2003, some experts are recommending that labs revise the range from .3 to 3.0.) I am now just shy of 43 years old and I know that our metabolism can change. If my thyroid is also fluctuating it can cause the stagnation I see in terms of having more difficulty losing the weight this time around. I bring it up because I think you should continue your workouts for all the things we know are good about it. However, I think it's also good to be aware of any medical issues that might be going on as well. For me, my doctor says that even though it has changed, I'm still in "normal" levels (and I'm not in any rush to have any meds if I can avoid it). I have, however, researched foods to help keep my thyroid healthy. I'll see if that brings about any changes for me. I'm slowly plugging away and have lost a couple of pounds. (This morning I weighed 132.5 but it's not my "official" weigh in. I weigh in on Mondays and record those in my weight loss goal.) Anyway sorry for being so long-winded. Good Luck!

Open source software: Controlling your computing environment
Open source software (OSS) -- free to use, reuse, study, modify, and distribute -- is quickly being adopted by libraries today. From office productivity suites such as OpenOffice to library-specific applications such as an integrated library system, "next generation" library catalogs and Firefox extensions. Open source software has a lot to offer libraries. This session looks at the many types of OSS available, how libraries are making use of it, and how it can be exploited in order to control your local computing environment. (This document is also available ast a PDF file intended for printing.)
Myriad of definitions
At its core, open source software is a process for creating and distributing software, but there are many nuances to this overly broad definition. For example, many people associate open source software with the word "free". Such an association itself needs to be qualified because in this case "free" should equated with liberty, not gratis. A person is licensed the freedom -- at liberty -- to modify open source software in any way they desire. On the other hand, open source software is also "as free as a free kitten", meaning that, while it is given away, it does not come without financial costs. There are costs for hardware, personnel, and training. It is possible to purchase support for open source software, so there is yet another costs. There are costs of migrating from one system to another. There are emotional costs. "I like the way this system works." All of these costs are also associated with "closed" source software, but at least with open source software you get two additional things. First, you get to see the entire package before making a commitment. Second, open source software is more standards-compliant than "closed" source software because there are fewer proprietary features. Consequently, people who spend time installing, customizing, and modifying open source software are learning transferable skills that can be applied more readily in other venues. In this way, the choice of implementing open source software is also an investment in local people instead of remote share holders.
While the concept of liberty is at the core of open source software, the process of writing and distributing open source software are the things that has really made it sustainable. This process is often referred to as "scratching an itch", and it really would not be possible without the Internet. Here is how it works. A person has a computing problem -- an itch. They go about writing a program attempting to solve the problem. The programmer realizes other people may have similar problems, and consequently the programmer shares their code with these other people. Some of these other people pick up the software, modify it to suit their own needs, and (sometimes) share their modifications back with the original programmer. If the modifications fit with the overall philosophy of the original developer, then the enhancements are incorporated into the original distribution, and the whole process is begun anew. Rinse. Shampoo. Repeat.* If the modifications do not fit within philosophy of the original developer, and the second developer really wants to distribute their enhancements, then a "fork" -- a new branch -- of the software is created. Again, rinse. Shampoo. Repeat. Without the Internet, the communications process necessary for the sharing of code would be an impediment to success.
Open source software is about community. It is about people coming together to support a common interest. (The phrase "a common cause" may be too strong.) Each community will create its own working dynamics. Some will vote. Some will practice meritocracy -- governance or the holding of power by people selected on the basis of their ability. Some will be ruled by a benevolent dictator. The book by Eric Raymond called The Cathedral and the Bazaar described open source software development as being fueled by the altruistic hacker interested in praise from their fellow programmers. The book The Success of Open Source by Steven Weber sees the open source software community as a set of problem solvers. While I used to lean towards the former, I see more and more the realism of the second.
OSS and librarianship
There are many aspects of open source software which are akin to the principles of librarianship. First and foremost in my mind is the expected use of the deliverable -- none. In the first case, the deliverable is software. In the second, it is data and information. In both cases, there are very few expectations in regard to what a person does with the information. "You are free to use and modify the program in any way you desire... It is none of my business why you want to know the answer to this particular reference question or borrow that book."
Both the open source community and the academic library community value forms of peer review. In open source, this is commonly paraphrased as "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." Meaning, if many people look at the source code, then sooner rather than later all the problems with it will be discovered. This is the root purpose of peer review as well, except the "many eyeballs" are traded for a few experts.
To some degree, open source software is about the common good, but this is increasingly debated. More often it is seen as a way to avoid vendor lock-in and have more control over one's computing environment. Many people believe libraries are a public good, but given the increasing numbers of institutions who provide information services, this is something I debate with myself.
Open source software is about community. So is librarianship. It is not possible to create, grow, and maintain open source software without a high degree of collegiality and collaboration. I believe I read someplace that one of the most common words appearing in library position announcements is some form of the word "collaboration".
Open source software in libraries
As you may or may not know, the Internet just about runs on open source software. For example, most of the Web is run using a program called Apache, an open source HTTP server. The program used to convert most host names (like www.library.nd.edu) into IP addresses (like 188.8.131.52) is called named, a venerable golden oldie when it comes to open source. A whole lot of your email is delivered from computer to computer through a program called sendmail, just about as old as named. All of these applications run on top of different versions of Linux and a suite of software called GNU.
In Library Land open source software is increasingly used. Many of you probably use Firefox as your Web browser. Many of you probably write blogs, and the most popular blog software is WordPress. The root of many "next generation" library catalogs is an indexing application called Lucene. Many of our current integrated library systems implementing Z29.50 use open source software modules from Index Data called Zebra. Then there are the "next generation" library catalog applications themselves: VuFind, Evergreen, Koha, Blacklight, Scriblio, etc. If you have digital collections and built the digital collection software yourself, then dollars to donuts you used a relational database program called MySQL. Open source software is just about everywhere when it comes to computers.
Open source software is not "better" than closed source software. Nor is closed source software "better" than open source source software. For the most part, both types of software get the job done. For the most part, both types of software have similar costs -- both financial and emotional. The difference lies in control. Closed source software is akin to buying a car with the hood welded shut. You can not open it up to fix it. You have limited abilities get into its guts and change it functionality. Granted, most people are not mechanics, yet only a small number of mechanics who have seamless ways to communicate are all that are needed to support a large community of automobile drivers. In a profession like our own -- one of data and information distributed through computers -- it behooves us to have as much control over our computing environment as possible. It behooves us to support and learn how to exploit open source software.
* There is a joke in computing circles, and it goes like this. Did you hear about the programmer who got stuck in the shower? He followed the instructions on the back of the bottle. Rinse. Shampoo. Repeat.

An Auckland chef caught at more than twice the legal drink-drive limit on Christmas Day was arrested again on Boxing Day with an even higher breath-alcohol reading, police say.
The 43-year-old man was caught on Pakuranga Rd on Christmas afternoon, when police say his breath-alcohol reading was more than 2 times the adult limit.
The next day, he was stopped again on the same road about 9pm, and police say he was more than three times over the limit.
Sergeant Tony Curry said such behaviour was "hazardous", and the Boxing Day reading was particularly alarming.
"It's huge. It's not just that they've had a couple of glasses of wine with Christmas dinner. It's a very high reading and it takes a lot of alcohol and a long time to get there."
To be caught two days in a row was obviously twice as bad.
"It doesn't get much worse," Mr Curry said. "That's a problem. There's no excuses for that.
"It's not just that he might hurt himself, he could hurt others. It's a fairly selfish thing to be driving around the street drunk."
The man appeared in the Manukau District Court yesterday on two charges of drink-driving and one of driving while suspended.
On Christmas Day, the man was taken to the police station for breath-testing, Mr Curry said. His licence was suspended and he was released.
The next night, he was again taken to the station, but this time was held in the cells overnight.
"I hope that he just learns from this and ... realises that he's made horrendous mistakes."
From next December, the breath-alcohol limit will reduce from 400mcg of alcohol per litre of breath to 250mcg. The blood limit will drop from 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood to 50mg.

When I try to start my car it tries to turn over but wont fire up. the Negative side little battery cable starts to smoke and the big negative cable gets Very hot.. I was told that my coil wires could be on wrong or that my Alternator wires could be on wrong..the coil has a Blue wire that is on the negative side of the coil and that wire grounds to the intake manafold,the wire has a small cylinder attached to it. On the postive side a Brown and Yellow wire along with another brown wire are hooked up to the Postive side of the coil. . the battery is on charge now becouse it got worn down. :c
Your problem has nothing to do with how the coil is wired period. In fact I have seen cars run with the coil wires hooked up backwards. It sounds to me like you do not have a proper ground to the engine or the body. I would look at the connections in these area and probably replace the neg. cables since they sound like they have been fried. A bad starter can cause wires to smoke, so be sure your starter isn't drawing to much current, and check for any loose connections at the starter and the relay.
On the postive side a Brown and Yellow wire along with another brown wire are hooked up to the Postive side of the coil...... I was wrong Its not a Brown and Yellow wire it is a BLACK and YELLOW wire. I hope this helps
Hook the blue/yellow stripe wire to the + coil and the black/yellow stripe the -coil.
age is no lock on brillance
3404spdvaliant,I tried it didnt work.
If you remember I told you this was not your problem, however even though it didn't work you should leave the wiring on the coil as decribed by my friend mister 4 spd valiant, this is the correct way to wire the coil. Also don't worry about the alt. until you get it up and running it to has nothing to do with the problem. Your gonna have to dig deep and follow my instructions as outlined earlier. Good luck
Plan B, since it appears you are not going to be able to identify the problem lets start over. First it appears the car cranks over, the reason for the dead battery, correct? Second, lets make sure you have spark, if not then you need to proceed and find out why? Third be sure you have fuel, and I would imagine the engine is quite flooded by now if you do have fuel so remove the plugs and squirt some oil in the cylinders to reseal the rings. You will probably need new plugs at this point since it is likly flooded on top of not having any spark. How do you check for spark, easy, take a screw driver install in a plug wire and hold the screw driver to a ground, if you get no spark than you need to find out why. With a test light check and make sure you have power going to the positive side of the coil when the ign. key is in the run position, this is ign. 1 and also make sure you have power at the positive side of the coil when the engine is cranking, this is ign. 2. I suspect you will not have any power at the positive side of the coil when the engine is cranking. How do you fix, simple, with your test light find a power wire when the key is in the cranking position. You will find this wire at the ign. switch wiring harness. Run a jumper wire from this source to the positive side of the coil and see if the vehicle will start. If you have no power to the coil when the key is in the run position proceed again to the ig. switch wiring harness, find a wire with power at the switch in the run position and jump this to the positive side of the coil. If you find that you actually have ign. 1 & 2 at the coil let me know and I will proceed with some more checks for you to make.
Dear Mopar Brothers, My sick 73 RR is running,hurray. She's running alittle ruff,but running. THANK YOU all for your help, I hope to have her ready for the MOPAR show at our local fair grounds in OCT. Hope to send you pics of her at the show. Wish me luck. Thanks again,moparmadness1

What was the final fix for your problem? I have a 67 Coronet with a 340. The car was running fine then all of a sudden it wouldnt start one day. Car would crank over but not start. I did replace the fuel pump because it appeared to not be getting enough fuel. After i replaced it still would just turn over without starting. It did turn over over for about 30 seconds then died. While sitting in the car I noticed smoke coming from under the hood. The positive cable on the battery was super hot? Any ideas? Thanks!!!
Texas, did you change the ballast resister?When they go out there is no spark yet it turns over.
age is no lock on brillance
no i havent changed the ballast yet. I did change the coil and the ECM but still no luck. My local Napa has the ballast on order for me... Is there different ballast for different cars, i couldnt find any #s on it.

Comcast Comcast customer service SUCKS Somerset New Jersey
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am customer of Comcast for a long time but recently had multiple SUPER BAD experiences with their customer service. I cannot think of any bad service worse than theirs. I changed houses and asked them to move my service to my new house. They took 2 weeks to do so - that too when I spoke to their head of customer service and threatened him that I will cancel my services with them.
Their customer service is PATHETIC. Their agents don't have any courtesy to talk to customers; they have no idea of what's happening with the account. It took me almost 20 calls and cumulatively over 8 hrs on the call. This SUCKS! Agents keep transferring the calls to other agents as they have no clue on the status or plan.
My services get intermittently get disconnected without any prior notification and when I call COMCAST customer service, I understand it's happening due to outage in my area. When I called their customer service and told him that I am unhappy with their customer service, he simply asked me to disconnect my services with them – IS THIS THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE COMCAST CAN OFFER?
My sincere advice – DO NOT use Comcast services until you don't have any other option.

Starting StrongFernando Montero
Back in high school I ran on the cross-country team. While never a star, I held my own and helped the team as best I could. My biggest challenge was an inability to save energy for the final leg of the race. My strategy was to establish a position early and try to hold on until the finish line. My first quarter of UCLA Anderson had faint echoes of the strategy, except this time it was apt.
I jumped in head-first, then crawled proudly to the finish line. This strategy seems to have been the norm and not the exception amongst my classmates. Living by the adage that you regret more the things not done, most of us have come to business school with the intention of getting involved anywhere we can. Since clubs at UCLA Anderson are entirely student-run, this bodes well for the future. These clubs are also where first and second year students have the most interaction. The second years guide you through the responsibilities, and by the end of the year, first years take over and run the organizations. Through this process you exchange information on classes, internships, industries, and anything else that they know and you need to know.
UCLA Anderson has divided their clubs into three units: professional clubs, identity clubs, and interest clubs. Second years recommended committing to three, so I am currently executive director of the Entertainment Management Association's Career Night in late January; director of event planning for Section G, the LGBT organization at Anderson; and first-year director for the Anderson Tennis Club. These are the three organizations I not only feel most strongly about, but also those that I can contribute to the most. In addition, I am a member of the Marketing Association, the Latino Students Management Association, Joint Ventures, and the Wine Club.
The positions have been an enormous amount of work, but the rewards have been proportional. In planning the Entertainment Career Night, I have been able to reach out to companies and build relationships with various executives and HR departments. As a board member of Section G, I felt the support of the school and my classmates after the passing of the disastrous Proposition 8 in California. As director of the Tennis Club, I was able to help generate interest in what I think is the greatest sport and get people out on the courts. Through the Entertainment Management Association, I was able to secure a winter academic internship at 20th Century Fox in their International Sales and Strategy division.
Classes Come to a Crescendo
While club activity is picking up, midterms arrive and classes really begin to accelerate the pace. At times it feels like you are stuck on a theme park ride that moves at predetermined speed, à la Jurassic Park—both the movie and the ride. Professors introduce themes each class, going through the material efficiently and thoroughly while answering all questions. You walk out of class confident that you have understood the depth of the material…until the online quiz or problem set. These are designed to build on the class material and train your brain to think as an economist, accountant, or portfolio manager. Not a smooth process, especially since it is happening with, and in front of, your study group members.
Subjects such as Pricing Strategies or Options Markets, which are nuanced and multifaceted, are introduced and explained in ninety minutes. Office hours and TAs are there to elaborate, but the true function of many core courses is to set the foundation for when it comes time to take the elective courses with titles such as, lo and behold, "Pricing Strategies" and "Options Markets."
By Thanksgiving, you realize you will not have to develop your own options portfolio to pass the course (a pretty complex undertaking—just ask Bernie Madoff). By then though, just like the Jurassic Park ride, you feel the impending free-fall of finals looming ahead. Unlike college when you had "reading week" to prepare for finals, B-school provides you with "reading weekend." In the end though, everyone survives and comes in for a smooth landing, some of us still shaking, but all ready for the champagne brunch organized by Student Services.
The champagne brunch reminded me eerily of the end of the first season of Lost, when the castaways, with hair unwashed and beards overgrown, hug as they say goodbye to those departing on the raft toward potential rescue. The only thing missing on the back lawn of Anderson was the violins.
In business school, friendships develop quickly. In the beginning, I wrote off many of these to the phenomenon of insta-friendships. I was wrong. These relationships may not be based on length or shared history, but they go just as deep. They are based on shared experience. Not knowing how many siblings someone has, when their last serious relationship was, or what their political views are doesn't diminish your bond. When you see someone truly tested, vulnerable with the fear of failure or of having their shortcomings exposed, you see who they really are, and perhaps more importantly, you show who you are.
Now before I even blinked, it is time to return. Operations, Marketing II, Corporate Finance, and my first elective, New Media, await me. Hopefully the spirit of cooperation will continue so our Lost doesn't turn into Lord of the Flies.

Emergency rooms have become the safety net for families not only in need of medical care, but also mental health care.
With donations from local foundations and charities, Akron Children's Hospital today opens a new unit in its emergency department dedicated to patients presenting with mental and behavioral health issues.
The space, including five patient rooms, a nurses' station, a waiting room and family respite area, have all been designed to calm patients and will be staffed by pediatric emergency department physicians and pediatric psychiatric-trained medical and nursing personnel.
"We are focusing on the needs of these patients and families in everything we do," said nursing director Helen Raub, who has been leading the project. "We have dimmer lights, have eliminated unnecessary wiring and equipment, and have reduced the risk of flight. Whether it is a child with autism or a teen in crisis, we will have the environment and the trained staff to de-escalate behavior, and get the patient stabilized and assessed."
According to Tim Lee, MD, a pediatric emergency room physician at Akron Children's, the September opening of the unit is well timed to coincide with one of his department's busiest season.
"We do see a lot more kids dealing with stress, depression and other mental and behavioral health issues at the start of the school year," said Dr. Lee. "There is much more pressure on kids socially and academically. This will be a safe, secure place for them during a time of crisis."
According to Dr. Lee, the number of patients being seen in Akron Children's emergency department for mental and behavioral issues has doubled since 2008. Sometimes, during a time of crisis, these patients present a risk to themselves or others.
Longer waits are common for families of adolescents and teens struggling with mental health issues due to a limited number of inpatient psychiatric hospital beds, and waiting lists for referrals for outpatient mental health and counseling programs.
The staff from Akron Children's Psychiatric Intake Response Center (PIRC) will also be located in the new space. PIRC operates round the clock mental health assessments by phone and may direct the family to Akron Children's emergency department for further evaluation. The PIRC phone number is 330-543-7472 locally and toll-free at 1-866-443-7472.
The foundations and charities funding this project are the Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation, the Lehner Family Foundation, the Timken Foundation of Canton, the Women's Board of Akron Children's Hospital and the Northern Ohio Golf Charities.

Once you've learned how to determine the value of a domain name and begun searching for a good one to register, one of the first things you'll notice is that there isn't much left out there that hasn't already been registered. Every day 30,000 domains are registered, but only 2,000+ domains are dropped/expired. This means you'll have to start doing what most people already do, and that is either buying from people directly or stalk the expiring domain lists looking for gems that people either forget to or can't afford to renew. The former is pretty self-explanatory, but if you decide you'd like to get into shopping for expiring domains, here are some tips to use as a guideline before back ordering a domain:
- Make sure you check the back links before going after an expiring domain. The easiest way to do this is to go to Google and search for "link:expiringdomain.com" with replacing the expiringdomain.com with the expiring domains URL. Google will then display backlinks. You'll want to click on a few of them to see what people were saying about the domain and the content on the domain and also determine the value of the back links.
- Use Internet Archive to get some additional information about the domain.
- If the previous owner was using the domain as a website, make sure that you are going to use the domain for the same purpose as the previous user or else this could cause some PageRank/SEO problems.
What Does Back Ordering Mean?
Back ordering is the process of paying a company to go out and register a domain on your behalf once it expires. The best companies to use for back ordering are NameJet.com, Pool.com, and SnapNames.com, as they have contracts with the individual registrars giving them first dibs on expired domains. If you decide to attempt to backorder a domain, your best bet is to back order the domain with all 3 websites to almost guarantee you get the domain. If more than one party back orders a domain at these 3 different websites, an auction is then created and the domain goes to the highest bidder, which can cause the purchase price of some of these domains to become pretty expensive.
Where do I Buy Expiring Domain Names?
Here is a old post, but good write up of what is involved with buying expired domain names and is still fairly accurately details the whole process.
As you can see, there is a lot to learn when it comes to attempting to acquire an expiring domain name. If you don't have a lot of patience, your best bet is to instead attempt to buy low and sell high directly from the domain owner. This can easily by done by researching domains of high value and negotiating with the owner directly to purchase the domain from them at what you feel is a low price, then turning around and selling it at a much higher price.

is a trip down to ABQ in the cards for you?Santa Fe beer report...
My wife and I rented a casita near the Plaza, and spent 3 days eating, shopping, hot springing, hiking, and for me, drinking beer. I hit ALL 4 (are there more?) breweries in Santa Fe. Here are my vague impressions...
- 2nd Street - Great location at the Railyard! I ordered a sampler, highlights were the Cream Stout and the Double IPA. I wasn't a big fan of the standard IPA, for me it was very bitter but without the balancing sweetness. I guess that is OK for something different than when I am used to, but not my preference.
We only had appetizers, the big pretzels with ghee (aww yeah) and calamari, both were good. We were stuffed from lunch at the Plaza Cafe and Kakawa chocolate.
- Santa Fe Brewing - Lucky for me the quilt store was down this way, so my wife had an extra reason to drive South, as this is a bit out of town. I love their Java Stout. Chicken Killer was great, at 10% still smooth not overly sweet. I liked their Porter enough to buy a six pack of it. Cool tap room. Their taster tray was a bargain - 10 4 oz. pours for $8.50.
- Marble Tap Room - Marble has a tasting room on the Plaza. Great location with a patio overlooking all the action, and propane heaters for the night. Ordered multiple tasters here too. I've had the Red here in CO, but enjoyed their IPA and Double White. And HBC Brown. They make great beer, for sure.
- Blue Corn - Our last dinner in Santa Fe. My wife picked it, I felt guilty having us go to yet another brewery by this point. The food was good, real good, our waitress was spotty or just an off night. I liked the IPA, I don't recall anything really sticking out but the beers were solid. Once again I ordered a sampler here.
OK so I wasn't taking notes, and since my wife doesn't drink beer I had to drink all of it, so memory is a little spotty. But I definitely came away happy with the local beer scene and looking forward to my next opportunity.
La Cumber, Tractor, Marble (the brewery), Chama... etc all beckon
