Edit Article
wikiHow to Open a Wedding Chair and Linen Company
Four Parts:Covering the basicsOrdering suppliesPromoting your businessRunning the businessCommunity Q&A
Almost every bride and groom will need to rent wedding chairs and linens for their wedding, so if you open your own wedding chair and linen company, you should get a lot of business. You need to be willing to work hard, but if you do, you should be successful because of the high demand. Follow these steps to open a wedding chair and linen company.
Part 1
Covering the basics
1Check your state laws in order to see if you need a seller's permit. Call your local Chamber of Commerce.
2Check with your local or state government to see if you need to pay state sales tax.
3Get a business license. This is also state-regulated so check with your local Chamber of Commerce.
4Keep your business expenses separate from your personal expenses. As such, it's important to open a checking account strictly for your business. Once you open your account, get some checks with the name of your business on them.
5Rent a space. This is a business than can be run out of your home if you have the storage space for extra linens and chairs. But if not, you will need to rent storage or rent a store space. Find a rental agent so he or she can help you find the perfect storefront for your new business.
6Hire employees. When you first start your business, you might be able to run it yourself, but as your business grows, you will need employees to help you with delivery, accounting, marketing, and sales.
Part 2
Ordering supplies
1Order linens in several different colors so you can please a variety of brides.
2Order chairs. But order more than you think you might need in case a bride ends up needing more than she initially thought. Consider buying chair covers, as well, so the bride and groom can rent those along with the chairs.
3Clean the linens after each rental. Buy multiple washers and dryers so you will always have clean linens.
4Linens will also need to be steamed and ironed, so buy at least one iron, an ironing board, and a steamer.
5Buy or rent a van. You will need a way to transport the chairs and linens from your store to the wedding event. Keep in mind that you will need to pay for gas, as well as any repairs the van might need.
Part 3
Promoting your business
1Talk to wedding venues in the area. These venues can refer couples to you if they need to rent chairs or linens.
2Get business cards to pass out to anyone that might want to rent from you. Give them to local businesses so they are visible even when you are not.
3Consider advertising on TV, the radio, or in the newspaper.
4Create a website and link to your Twitter account and Facebook page. Be visible in social media so potential customers can easily find out information about your business.measure
5Go to bridal expos in the area.
Part 4
Running the business
1Set rental fees. Make sure to take into account the cost of delivery, pick-up, and cleaning the linens when they are returned.
- Draw up a sample contract that customers will have to sign in order to rent linens and chairs.
- Require a deposit whenever there is a rental in case the linens come back too stained to be cleaned or the chairs come back broken.

For the next few weeks, we're asking bridal salon owners from around the country to share their favorite hot-off-the-runway looks from the most recent Bridal Market. Today, we're talking to Lindsay Nowak of Maddison Row in Charleston, South Carolina. Here's what she had to say:
Q: Was there one collection or gown that you thought was the "best of market?"
I loved Amsale's collection. It was very cohesive and had a huge range. Also, Reem Acra was completely glamorous and fabulous. Each dress had such interesting detail and was executed flawlessly.
Q: Of all the gowns that featured color, whether pink, blue, black or red, was there one or two that you think brides will fall in love with?
Oscar de la Renta's blue gowns
Q: Of the new designers who showed, who is going to be a breakout star?
Q: What's your favorite new trend or dress detail of the season?

Serena doesn't let off-court talk get to her
By Bob Considine, (Bridgewater, N.J.) Courier News
NEW YORK Before a tennis ball was even tossed on
Day 1 of the 2001 U.S. Open, there was more talk of race than the sprint to
the finish, more talk of black and white than of all the colorful characters
who compete in America's Grand Slam event. But Serena Williams proved to be
above it all. Her 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 first-round victory over Anca Barna primarily
an afterthought, the 19-year-old Serena politely, but pointedly dismissed the
controversial opinions of Martina Hingis and Martina Navratilova who
both claimed in a magazine article that people don't criticize Serena, sister
Venus and father Richard in fear of being labeled a racist.
Williams insisted that's a card she has never played.
"You can go back and read all my transcripts," said Serena,
the 1999 U.S. Open champion. "I personally never said in an article or interview
that, 'This happened because I'm black.'
"I have gone to a store and been treated differently because
I was black once. But other than that, no. I mean, you can go back and read
all my transcripts. Maybe (Hingis' comment) was a bit on the fabrication side."
The controversy developed as Monday's issue of Time
magazine quoted Hingis as saying the Williams' sisters receive many endorsements
because they are black. She also said the Williams' family claims racism if
they are publicly or privately criticized.
"Being black only helps them," Hingis was quoted as saying.
"Many times they get sponsors because they are black. And they have a lot of
advantages because they can always say, 'It's racism.' They can always come
back and say, 'Because we are this color, things happen.' "
"All I know is I get endorsements because I win and I work
hard," Williams responded. "I go out there and have a good attitude and smile.
And I like tennis."
After her 6-2, 6-0 victory over NCAA champion Laura Granville
on Monday, Hingis did not back off her comments, but stated they were made some
five months ago. The Swiss Miss also apologized to anyone she may have offended.
"Well, I'm sorry if I hurt anybody's feelings with that,"
Hingis explained with her trademark grin. "But I think at that time, I meant
it probably not always in the same way. I think I was right at the time, but
it doesn't mean it's against everybody.
"I just maybe said something which is not politically correct,
but I don't know all the laws, all the rules that are going on in this country.
I mean, if you expect that from me, it's too much. I'm sorry if I hurt anybody."
Similarly, Navratilova, the 18-time Grand Slam winner,
said the Williams family escapes any kind of negative critiques because those
would-be critics fret over being called a racist. Navratilova pulled no punches
however in ripping Richard Williams for his dancing on the court after Venus
defeated Lindsay Davenport in last year's U.S. Open final.
"If Mr. Williams had been white and done that victory dance
in front of Lindsay Davenport, he would have been reprimanded much more," Navratilova
said. "People have been afraid to criticize them because they don't want to
be called racist."
When asked to respond, Davenport asked the media to ask
"I can't imagine if my dad got out there and danced what
you guys would write," Davenport said. "But people have always not criticized
Richard Williams that much. I don't know what their reasons are. I'm not in
the media. So it seems like he probably gets away with more than others."
Davenport, however, discredited the notion that players
are afraid to criticize the Williams for fear of being called racists.
"I think the players are still outspoken about them," she
said. "We still say what we feel and it's the same way about (Anna) Kournikova."
In a two-word statement, Richard Williams simply claimed
all that talk was "old news." Richard Williams, who photographed Monday's match
from the stands, may have just been concerned with Serena's match. His daughter
had 23 unforced errors in the first set, but rebounded nicely with just 19 in
the final two sets.
Serena Williams said her streak of 14 first-round victories
in Grand Slams was on her mind.
"I was just way off," she added. "I made too many errors.
I gave it away and (Barna) played a good first set.
"But you realize you have to change the level of your game
or you're going to be out of the tournament. That's the last thing I need right

I didn't like fruit with cheese when I was younger. But, now I think it is a delicious combination!
Fruit, Walnut, Blue Cheese Salad
My new favorite salad idea is combining a fall fruit like apples, pears, figs, or plums with a strong cheese like blue cheese or goat cheese and a a nut of your choice.
Seems like a fancy salad when it is pretty simple, and loaded with antioxidants and healthy fats from the olive oil dressing and walnuts.
The key is to slice your fruit very thin. Using a mandolin works well. I don't like chunks of fruit in my salads. But, paper thin slices help the flavors blend.
I also made homemade vinaigrette with 1 shallot, splash of red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, juice of 1 lemon, spicy mustard, and honey. Always makes an excellent dressing because the mustard helps emulsify the mixture. Just eye-ball the measurements and taste test it after you mix!
What are your favorite fruit salad combinations?

From Dr. King's last message: Continue reading "Martin Luther King, Jr., and the place of the preacher"
Category: People
Living at peace with others
So… It's Trump
All conventional wisdom has been thrown out the window and Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for president. Barring a complete collapse, Hillary Clinton will be the Democrat nominee for president.
As someone who has always urged people to be responsible citizens and VOTE… the question just may be… what now? (It is for me, anyway.)
Russell Moore had some thoughts on "the lesser of two evils" approach.
Living in Minnesota, it honestly doesn't matter how I vote because this state has been solidly "blue" for decades.
Some thoughts:
- It won't happen, but the media (lazy cubicle-dwelling Twitter followers that they have become) needs to knock it off talking about the "evangelical" vote like we all think the same. It's becoming ridiculous.
- Major Christian outlets need to do the same. Evangelicals don't vote in "blocks" any more. It's silliness.
- We don't get to vote for Jesus. (And, thankfully, Jesus doesn't need our vote.)
We live in shifting times. Trump and Sanders have both exposed real issues in the electorate. There are large numbers of people being ignored when it comes to getting things done in government and while I seriously doubt the Republicans and Democrats will "get it," there is a seismic shift that is happening in this cycle. They would do well to pay attention.
I seriously doubt they will.
For believers, we need to learn new paradigms. If you are 40 and over, it is needed NOW. I have been trying to prepare people for 15 years, but I'm one small voice. Maybe now we'll pay attention. Hopefully the Church isn't as dense as the media or the standing political parties.
Voting is important. How that shakes out for me… well, I am not sure I'll get it figured out too soon.
Getting involved is even more important. Not just in running for office, but being involved in what is going on at the local level. What is important to your neighborhood? What will bless your city? How can we extend the hand of Christ to the community around us in a way that BLESSES?
Isn't it time to be better about what we're FOR rather than what we're against?
Tough days are ahead. We need to get Spirit-anointed minds in gear and see what the Spirit has ahead in some uncharted waters.
GOP Primary Thoughts
Questions on influence
In the past week I've been looking back (again) at the voices that have influenced my life as a minister, as a believer, as a person.
Two big questions:
- What are the top 5 books that have deeply impacted your life as a leader and/or believer?
- Who are the top ten influencers in your life?
I am challenged in both questions to keep my numbers DOWN. I can list so many more books and so many more people.
Who is helping YOU grow in life? How is that happening on an intentional basis?
Where I find my passions
Taking time to reflect on what is vital in life is important. We need to set aside time regularly to reflect on what drives us internally.
What brings passion to my life? What makes me want to get up and get at things in life every day?
Recently reflecting on what drives me right now, and rejoicing so deeply over what is going on in our church and ministry, I jotted down a couple of things that get me up every day.
- My family. Our boys are grown and gone. Two are married. We have one grandson. (Have I told you about him?) 🙂 And when I reflect on my family, on where my wife and I are in life, I am filled with joy. I watch young men do life and see what God is doing in them. I have wonderful conversations with my wife and enjoy much more time with her… and I am driven every day to pray for them. I am filled with joy every day seeing what is happening in their lives.
- My church. Our church has turned a major corner. We are in a new day that is magnificent. What is ahead is exciting and fun. It's hard work. WOW! Is it hard work! But joy-filled work that will yield harvest for the Kingdom. We will see more churches planted. We will see the Spirit touch our city. I want my story to be "written" showing my deep love for the church where I get to pastor.
- My city. I love the Twin Cities. Winters drive me nuts (except for this last one), but it's not all about the weather. It's about the people. Where our church is… well, I really love that part of the city. I watch people do incredible things in that city. They work hard. They love people. They make the schools better. They make the city better.
I can wake up every day with a driving passion to help my family, my church, and my city thrive. The Lord has gifted me with these precious passions. Where I feel his presence and empowerment most is when I am doing something in those three areas. This is where I want my "story" to be known. This is where my passions lie.
Heroes of the faith
Turning 50 was wonderful. That lasted, what, 20 days?
Transitions are tough, and at 50 I just hit a transition I knew was coming, but still hated to see. One of my great heroes of the faith is retiring. Dr. Gordon Anderson announced his retirement as president of North Central University today. This is my alma mater and also the place I currently serve as an adjunct professor.
Those who know Dr. Anderson only as a college president know a good part of him. I was incredibly fortunate to know him as TEACHER. Dr. Anderson was on the faculty during my time as a student. He was tough, knowledgeable, passionate, and deeply hungry for teaching others about Jesus. I took classes I didn't need to take just because Dr. Anderson was teaching them.
He also got me hooked on Calvin and Hobbes. In fact, that may be his greatest legacy. We were in a class one day and somone asked about some papers we had handed in and had not received back as yet. Dr. Anderson replied, "Sorry I didn't get to that yet. I was somewhere over Russia the other night and couldn't get to it. Well, at least I THINK it was Russia. My transmogrifier doesn't have windows."
To that point I had only heard of Calvin and Hobbes, but enough to recognize that term. I read Calvin and Hobbes the next day in the comics… and was hooked for the length of the series.
When my wife and I had left North Central to start a new church in my hometown, we found out he was the morning teacher at a Bible camp about an hour away. We went over for a couple of days just to listen to his morning teachings. It was so great drinking in his wisdom once again!
After the last morning session we could attend, we were talking to him and nervously asked if we could take him to lunch. It was nerve-wracking for us. He was our hero. Did heroes even EAT?
He graciously accepted our invitation and we had about a two hour lunch talking life, ministry, and so much more.
Transitions happen. This one is significant. I am so deeply thankful to the influence of this incredible man of God. I am so deeply grateful for the professors I had during my time at North Central, and so deeply grateful for Dr. Anderson's influence on my life as a teacher of the Word.

Look to the skies just before sunrise and you'll see something interesting: the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter appear to be in a line! Though not actually in alignment, our perspective from Earth makes them appear so, but it is a good time to consider that in ancient times, people would look to the stars for an understanding of what to do in their agriculture. It came naturally, as farmers used the light of the moon to get a few more hours of work done at night.
Though more recently, religious groups have claimed that stars and planets exert influences on our crops here on earth through their "energies," in ancient times, the farmers would watch the stars to get a better idea of what time of year it actually was. You see, the modern calendar and all its conveniences was not available then, and sometimes June would be in the middle of the winter, and November would be in the warmest part of the year. It took the ancients a long time to perfect a solar calendar that actually worked. Until they did, they relied on the stars to know the season.
The Dog Star, Sirius, was a good indicator that summertime was at its peak. With the rising of Sirius, farmers would prepare to harvest potatoes and other heat sensitive crops, cease tilling, bring water to their fields, and otherwise bunker down for extreme heat. By counting the moons, they knew when it was likely to be safe from frost to plant. Each star and planet had its season.
The farmer LJ Columella was the first to describe an agrarian calendar based on stars and planets. His work, On Agriculture, is still used by many farmers today even though we now have a reliable solar calendar to tell us the months and seasons.
As superstition was gained after the age of reason, people began to become confused: did the stars cause the seasons, or did they simply mark the changes of the seasons? The mythology associated with the stars and planets began to influence people, and new religions based on the ancient worship of the numerous deities that the ancients worshiped arose. Permaculture is one such modern system that advocates utilizing planetary energies to improve harvests, but even Columella, who worshiped Mars thousands of years before Permaculture was ever considered, would tell you that the stars don't tell you what to do: your knowledge that the stars are regular in their rising and setting against the passage of the seasons lets you anticipate seasonal trends in weather.
Today, farmers still work late by the light of the moon and still enjoy star watching, but now farmers enjoy starwatching for the joy of it, because they can look at a calendar to know what needs done at any given time. But one of the greatest parts of that joy is remembering the days before the solar calendar and using the stars and moons to help in your farming.

How many years of wear for chin or jaw angle implants to last?
Needing chin and jaw angle implants.a)How many years should one expect these implants and titanium screws to last without infection? B)What can a patient do to help themselves prevent any infection(ie. regular visit to the dentist to make sure there's no tooth decay? Good daily dental hygiene? Try not to catch colds/flu?)c)What type of infections could attack alloplasctic implants?Concerned about infection.
Doctor Answers 4
Chin and Jaw Angle Implants
All facial implants are permanent and never need to be replaced due to mechanical or device breakdown or failure. The only risk of infection long-term is with the injection of local anesthetics and injectable fillers in or around the implants. As long as you do not develop a tooth abscess, your dental hygiene will have no impact on the risk of infection.

Jaw and chin implants
Hello! The implants very rarely do get infected, but that typically is shortly after placement if it is going to happen. Implants are designed to be permanent and unlike breast implants, are not replaced. The implants do not communicate with the mouth so routine dental hygiene should not impact them.
How many years of wear for chin or jaw angle implants to last?
Hi, I have performed many chin augmentations using a chin implant for over 30 years. Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick and highly effective. The implant should last you a lifetime.
The same can't be said of jaw implants that IMHO have too many potential side effects for me to offer them for facial shaping. I prefer using dermal fillers to shape the jaw line or the mandibular angle for added jaw volume and flare.

Chin implant procedure
In our practice, we place patients on antibiotics after a chin implant procedure to prevent infection. Infections are extremely rare after a chin implant procedure. Once the implant is in place, its exceedingly rare to get an infection. We have been using Silastic chin implants for over 25 years with an excellent success rate

The Fae have returned. Sneaking throughout the camp, I've gathered information about the Fae and my fellow Hawks. It seems the Hawks have gained a new alliance with the Hood. That fellow is a character, hitting on all of the women, and boasting with all the men. Although it is kind of irritating, he has a sense of honesty; when I look at Robin Hood, I see a genuine quality to him. I feel as if, even though he seems to be this man of rash decisions and inappropriate words; he's also a man who would suffer for a stranger.
It's fitting that he should know Griever, as they are very much alike, or use to be very much alike. Griever has changed, in some ways matured, and come to grow roots.
(This is all I've got tonight.. It's 1:30a.m. and I'm kind of running out of fuel and motivation.)

Cant wait for the tour to start. Going to at least one night in Columbus and hopefully the Cincinnati show. Anyone w/ extra reserved seating for Cincinnati let me know. I dont think the new CD is that bad at all but I really cant say I had my hopes up that high. I doubt they will ever top Red Rocks.
Could I have been lost somewhere at Red Rocks?
That CD is insane, no matter what they put out after awhile I always find myself going back to good ole Red Rocks
Any you guys going to Columbus tonight?
I'm glad I skipped Columbus last night -- wasn't really overwhelmed by the setlist. I will be in Indy on Monday night.
yeah I know, I was worried that chose night 2 but after seeing the setlist I am really looking foward to tonight. Hope Indy goes well Monday, see you guys later.
Last nights show was absolutely amazing. That was by far the best I have seen the band in three years. The jams were incredible and the set list was the best I have personally got to see live. I would be so happy if Riverbend was half as good.
Do they have the setlists from previous shows listed on a website of some sort?

Nermind. I found it.
Last night's show sounds like it would have been real, real good, at least as far as the setlist goes.

There are a lot of cool sites for that. Check out antsmarching.org or nancies.org. Then there is always davematthewsband.com.Originally Posted by Red Leader
Glad to hear that the Columbus show was good. I can't wait for next week!
Wow, a lot of DMB fans here. I saw him back in 98 I guess it was and it was, IMO, the absolute worst live experience I've ever had with a band. My wife even fell asleep!
Hopefully he's gotten better since then.
Disclaimer: I started out a metal kid, and evolved into other forms of music, but aside from Tori Amos all the concerts I've been to have been of the metal/rock variety so that could possibly have some affect on my dislike of DMB.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

― Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes
The jams were what did it last night and had you been there last night I dont see how anyone could have fallen asleep. Carter was just unreal with drums and when Robert Randolph came out to guest for a couple songs the place was going insane.
I can't wait...I already have the cooler and the beer is chilling for some pre-concert tailgating on Monday. Rumor has it that DMB is going to hit Red Rocks at the end of the tour. I would love to see that show -- the first there since the fabled Live at Red Rocks.Originally Posted by kbrake
Lost count of how many times I saw Dave Matthews back when he was making constant rounds through Virginia during my grad school days. Actually, I liked Boyd Tinsley's band better.
He'll probably be all right.

Autonomous Sensor Concepts
The acquisition of spatially distributed parameters in the large-scale vessels is hampered by the limited access to the process itself in most industrial scale applications, where sensor mounting or cable connections are not feasible or desired. Therefore, state of the art instrumentation of such reactors is commonly limited to few spatial positions where it is doubtfully assumed that the measured parameters are representative for the whole reaction mixture. We developed the concept of instrumented flow followers (sensor particles) for the long-term measurement of spatially distributed process parameters in the chemically and mechanically harsh environments of agitated industrial vessels (Fig. 1a). Each sensor particle comprises of an onboard measurement electronics that logs the signals of measurement devices, namely temperature, absolute pressure (immersion depth, axial position) and 3D acceleration. The whole electronics is enclosed in a robust neutrally buoyant capsule (dp = 0.058 m), to allow free movement with the flow (Fig. 1b). Intended applications are in large-scale processes such as a stirred fermentation biogas reactor and activated sludge basins, but generally the sensor particle is not limited to these types of processes.
|Fig. 1: (a) Principle of application at a biogas fermentation plant
|(b) mounted sensor particle
Validation of the prototype sensor particles was carried out in a stirred vessel, a stirred fermentation reactor model, a draft-tube reactor and a bubble column (Fig. 2a). The analyzed data reveal the internal process conditions and particularly the flow conditions and in the vessels. Furthermore, axial parameter profiles can be extracted from the captured data of the sensor particles. Conclusions can be drawn on the mixing homogeneity, the axial distribution of solid fraction, the degree of suspension, the axial flow profile and the structure of large eddy flows. Moreover, model parameters of stirred vessels, such as the circulation number and the velocity head, and also parameters of dispersed flow models, such as the PECLÉT-number, can be estimated from the measured circulation time distributions (Fig. 2b).

text: Shadow Weapon Boxes – a chance to obtain an enchanted weapon from +6 till +9 Goal: to estimate a chance to get an enchanted weapon (from +6 till +9) when opening a Shadow Weapon Box. During this experiment, the following boxes were opened: Shadow Shaper Box, Shadow Cutter Box, Shadow Slasher Box, Shadow Fighter Box, Shadow Thrower Box, Shadow Shooter Box, Shadow Buster Box, Shadow Retributer Box and Shadow Dualsword Box. A sample of each box contained 1000 units. Result: Summary: As it can be seen from the table above, a chance to get an enchanted weapon of different class is practically the same. A slight deviation happens due to a sample size.

Yesterday the Greek left made history. The Coalition of the Radical Left, known by its acronym Syriza, won the parliamentary elections with 36% of the vote, bringing them two seats shy of a parliamentary majority. The Greek people voted to reject the disastrous austerity measures forced on them by the Troika, (the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund), a failed set of policies responsible for half a decade of economic contraction and human misery. Syriza proposes an alternative path grounded in economic justice and participatory democracy.
We applaud our Greek comrades for their momentous victory. Success at the ballot box in Greece is just the first step towards a historic transformation in social relations and power distribution throughout Europe. Syriza's model, one of a radical politics grounded in the social and trade unionist movements, has inspired imitators across the continent. Most notable is the rise of Podemos in Spain, a party descended from the indignados movement which took to the streets in 2011 to protest capitalism and the Spanish political system. Today, Podemos leads the polls for the next Spanish general election, which is scheduled to be held some time this year.
Syriza would prefer to solve the economic crisis by renegotiating the terms of the bailout agreement with the Troika, thereby removing the austerity straightjacket and allowing the Greek economy to recover. Unfortunately, the German leadership appears unable to stomach the inflationary monetary policies necessary to jumpstart growth in the European south. Radical change will require the entire European left working in concert to overcome entrenched capitalist interests and transform the neoliberal character of European integration into a humane, sustainable, socialist endeavor.
We, the Young Democratic Socialists of America, extend our support and solidarity to Syriza, and to the wider European Left project the Greek example hints at. We encourage our American comrades to study Syriza, Podemos, and the other rising European parties of the left, and the social movements from which they emerge. Their experience suggests a model which may be applicable to the United States. We must build our own coalition of the radical left, composed of movements as well as parties, if we are to ever win a victory as potent as Syriza's.

Due to snow, HCCA was recently closed for an entire week. Themale ownerrequired usto pay for a full-week's tuition (even though the school was closed), yet he failed to pay his teachers for the weather days. Why would a man receive a full week's revenue(with no services provided)and then choose not to pay his staff?
Breakfastportions are entirely too small.Breakfast is $2.75 and consists of a half of a cold, small biscuit and about 6oz of juice. This is not an adequate meal for 3 to 5 year old. We are a very healthy family and were outraged when we found out what our child was being fed. Why pay $2.75 for a half of a mini-muffin when we can go to a nearby McDonalds and get a full biscuit and Apple Dippers for $2? When my husband and I saw what our child was being fed, we stopped ordering the school breakfast.
Teachers, administrators, andreceptionistsdo not stay for more than a few weeks or months. This is not a stable environment forsmall children. I seriously doubt that every single staff member is incompetent.The male owner pretends to be a Christian to boost his business.We just don't trust him.Something (or someone) is seriously wrong and unChristian about that school. The PR image just isn't working anymore.We are taking our child elsewhere. There are plenty of other Christian daycares in the area.

The World Cup in Brazil could be the "most heavily policed" ever as the authorities try to clamp down on anti-government protests during the tournament, according to an analysis of the security risks released today.
A 170,000-strong security force – larger than Britain's armed forces – is being deployed around the country. And to prevent a repeat of last summer's violent protests, when more than a million people took to the streets, the Brazilian Intelligence Agency has set up regional intelligence centres in the 12 cities that are hosting World Cup games.
About $840m (£500m) is being spent on security – nearly five times as much as the $175m security budget at the World Cup in South Africa – according to a study by IHS Country Risk. The report cites street crime as "the main concern in the host cities".
Brazil's annual murder rate is 26.2 per 100,000 people, compared to 1.2 per 100,000 in Britain, but this disguises huge regional differences. Recife and Salvador, two of the cities hosting World Cup games, "rank as two of the most murderous cities in the whole country" with homicide rates of 57.9 and 55.5 per 100,000 respectively.
Dr Laurence Allan, the head of Latin America analysis at IHS Country Risk, said the amount being spent on defence and security would help to balance the "far higher rates of criminality" which Brazil has, compared to Britain. "It may well be the most heavily policed World Cup ever," he said.
"Our view is that fears that it's going to be a World Cup where security is a major problem are definitely overplayed."
This includes the idea of a "terrorist spectacular", he added. "Brazil has got no real history of that, and who are the groups that are going to make that happen in Brazil? Of course it's not impossible but it seems unlikely," he said.
"Our assessment is that the vast majority of visitors should not face any particularly elevated risks. If you were the victim of an armed robbery and you resisted, then your risks of being seriously hurt are obviously higher in Brazil than here because of the normality of firearms being around."Reuse content

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the agent of Lyme borreliosis: life in the wilds
Institute of Biology, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, Emile Argand 11, Case postale 158, 2009 Neuchâtel, Switzerland
* Tel.: +41 32 718 3000 – Fax: +41 32 718 3001. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
In Europe, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) the agent of Lyme borreliosis circulates in endemic areas between Ixodes ricinus ticks and a large number of vertebrate hosts upon which ticks feed. Currently, at least 12 different Borrelia species belonging to the complex B. burgdorferi sl have been identified among which seven have been detected in I. ricinus: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss), B. garinii, B. afzelii, B. valaisiana, B. spielmanii and B. bissettii. A few dozens of vertebrate hosts have been identified as reservoirs for these Borrelia species. Specific associations were rather early observed between hosts, ticks and borrelia species, like for example between rodents and B. afzelii and B. burgdorferi ss, and between birds and B. garinii and B. valaisiana. The complement present in the blood of the hosts is the active component in the Borrelia host specificity. Recent studies confirmed trends toward specific association between Borrelia species and particular host, but also suggested that loose associations may be more frequent in transmission cycles in nature than previously thought.
Key words: Ixodes ricinus / host DNA / Borrelia / reservoir hosts

We have a few chores to catch up on and items to pick up, we busted the bike tire pump a few days ago, lost the pot, ran out of bug spray, and needed another bike lock. We start our day just shy of noon and ride 40 flat kilometres into the city. The rest of the day is spend into and out of stores, a few random cheap beers and finding wine in a carton again! Something we hadn't seen since ...

Shhh! If you can sneak past sleeping Daddy without waking him, you can have that midnight snack you're craving. But it's going to be tough--there are roadblocks everywhere. Don't step on the cat's tail! And watch out for those roller blades that didn't get put away! The first person to slip around all these obstreperous obstacles to get to the fridge wins. Players spin a spinner to determine what color space they'll move to. If the player's card doesn't match the picture on the space, Daddy's alarm clock button must be pushed the number of times indicated. Just hope that Daddy will sleep through the alarm. If not, he'll pop up and make his nightcap fly off! The game includes "Daddy" in a 9-by-5-inch plastic bed, gameboard, mover bases, deck of cards, spinner, and instructions (English and Spanish). For two to four players.

|Thu, 01 Jun 2006 01:40:30 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-264?page=all ] Konstantin Shvachko updated HADOOP-264: --------------------------------------- Attachment: PublicDatanodeRegistration.patch I agree with Owen that DatanodeRegistration as well as other classes passed through RPC should be public. The counter-patch :-) with only one word added is attached. Since it is related to HADOOP-124 making some classes non-public, I would return public status to the exceptions as well. Just speculating: if RPC would have to convert RemoteException to the real exceptions like LeaseExpiredException then it would crash for the same reason. We do not have that mechanism (for converting exceptions) yet, but one day we will. > WritableFactory has no permissions to create DatanodeRegistration > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-264 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-264 > Project: Hadoop > Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Versions: 0.3 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.3 > Attachments: PublicDatanodeRegistration.patch, fix-datanode-registration-perm.patch > > The datanode can not come up because the DatanodeRegistration is package local and the factory registration doesn't happen. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

The Main Kitchen has a large mirrored demonstration table for demonstrations, a hot foods line, which includes a convection oven, fryers, grill, charbroiler, eight-burner stovetop, auxiliary oven, and a salamander. No it's not a lizard, but a small broiler for browning and finishing off plated meals.
The kitchen's bake shop includes wooden work tables, convection and standard ovens, large commercial mixers, food processors, and of course, small wares like cake, pie and tart pans and all the essential baking tools.
The auxiliary kitchen is equipped for making stocks and soups, as well as grilling, roasting and smoking meats and seafood.
All three kitchens have a service cooler, and the main storage area has dry storage, as well as a walk-in cooler and freezer, and there's even a wine cooler for the student-made wine.

The dining room seats 28, and is serviced by the adjacent fully-equipped service kitchen. The room's stained glass windows feature the images of St. Joseph, St. John the Evangelist and the Bishop and Philosopher Augustus of Hippo. The small but elegant altar is still intact and provides seating for two. The ceiling still has the original molded plaster stalactites, and lighting is provided by two elegant chandeliers.

The litigation lawyer will research the facts that caused the dispute, and analyze them to identify the appropriate law and how it applies. After this preliminary review, the litigation lawyer gives you an analysis of your rights and an estimate of your ability to be successful in court. The litigation lawyer will know the information you need to present in court as well as the process, procedures, and deadlines you must meet to keep your lawsuit on track.

Corrections personnel won't take issue with the fact that sexual assault occurs in our systems, but we do take issue with USA TODAY's belief that we are insensitive to prison sexual assault or that it is as great as the newspaper and others imply.
We know sexual assault is not a joke, and we attempt to prevent it whenever and wherever we can. But lots of other things are wrong with the system, too.
The corrections system does not put anyone in prison. Judges and juries do. We take what we are given.
Did USA TODAY call for better pay and training for our employees? Did it call for programs, educational opportunities and work for inmates or for more correctional officers (not guards, as the editorial calls them) to work in our institutions?
One report and anecdotal information do not tell the whole story. Maybe USA TODAY should take the time to find more facts before it chastises our profession.
James A. Gondles Jr., Executive director, American Correctional Association, Arlington, Va.
Not just DNA
Saying Americans must choose between DNA funding and other funding for crime labs is like saying we must fill one of four flat tires ("Forensic specialists push for funding beyond DNA," News, Friday).
Rather than pitting DNA advocates against those who want support for all types of evidence examination, it's high time politicians used their hot air to fill all four tires. Then, and only then, will our justice system have a chance to get somewhere. There is no real reason that both DNA funding and funding for other forensic science technologies cannot be given by Congress to crime labs.
One need not come at the expense of the other — a little less pork in a few congressional barrels could meet both needs. The suffering of victims of any type of crime must matter to us.
It's time for Americans to stop fantasizing that the labs and medical examiners' offices of TV dramas bear any relationship to the shamefully poor conditions in many of our real-life public forensic labs. Wake up and realize that decades of neglect and underfunding have affected all areas of forensic science.
We need to get the big picture: If you don't have a secure evidence room and a working computer to log in and track evidence, it does you no good to have robotic DNA equipment in another room.
Justice demands that we examine all types of meaningful evidence. Justice demands full funding of both the DNA Initiative and the Paul Coverdell National Forensic Sciences Act. Voters should, too.
Jan Burke, Los Alamitos, Calif.
Dollars for Niger
We have all been shocked by the recent stories and images of the horrific human tragedy taking place in Niger. The recent commentary by Jan Egeland, United Nations under-secretary-general for Humanitarian Affairs, conveys the tragedy using numbers we can all relate to: 800,000 children younger than 5 who are at risk; and for as little as $1 per child per day, they could have been saved from malnourishment and possible death ("Niger is dying, and the world is merely watching," The Forum, Aug. 8).
A United Nations appeal in May for a mere $16 million in emergency aid was met, in Egeland's words, by "near-deafening silence."
Doing the math, it is eye-opening, but very sad, to note that less than one-tenth of the approximately $5 billion that we are spending in Iraq each month would keep a million children in Niger, and elsewhere in Africa, fed and alive for well over a year. It is all a matter of priorities — and conscience.
Dorian de Wind, Austin

Krankbrother have put on some fine parties during 2012, so it's only fitting that they bring out some big guns for New Year's Eve. Mighty dance maverick Andrew Weatherall is top of the bill, so expect him to dip into tech-funk, house, dubby disco, reggae, acid... You get the idea. Canadian jackin' house tastress Heidi and tech-house fave Matt Tolfrey join the party, and though the location is being kept secret, we're told it's a one room affair to keep the vibe intimate and the Funktion One loud and crystal clear.

Pumpkin spice and everything nice
For my first column in October, comes a special request from my wife, Carol — who embodies "what little girls are made of" all year long. During leaf-peeping season, however, Carol kicks the sugar and spice 'up a notch' with a generous helping of pumpkin spice.
She wakes up every morning to a piping hot cup of Green Mountain pumpkin spice coffee, whips up Krusteaz pumpkin spice bars in the afternoon and when the time is right (It's 5-o'clock somewhere) can be seen kicking back with a good pumpkin ale.
Her favorites include Catawba's King Don's Pumpkin Ale; New Belgium's 'Pumpkick;' a new find, Howe Sound's Pumpkineater Imperial Pumpkin Ale (Bosu's Wine Shop); and Boojum Brewing's "new smash hit' (Get it?), Headless Hippie Imperial Pumpkin Ale.
As I writer, I'm content savoring at the inventive names brewers come up with every year for their pumpkin beers. And I have one or two pumpkin spice beer tap handles in my personal collection, including Harpoon's unfiltered Pumpkin U.F.O. and Evolution Craft Brewing's Jacques Au Lantern.
If you want to research pumpkin beers, check out Beer Advocate magazine's Top 100 Pumpkin Beers — www.beeradvocate.com/lists/style/72.
For those before-5 o'clock occasions, Carol has found a nice and spicy non-alcoholic, spiced pumpkin cider — which I want to try as a braising liquid for pulled pork. It is available at GO Grocery Outlet, on an end-aisle display.
Speaking of end-aisles, we stopped at Food Lion Grocery, which had not one — but two — end-aisles stacked high with everything pumpkin spice.
Enterprising food companies have gone crazy with this ubiquitous taste profile. Here are just a few of the offerings:
Kraft Jet-puffed Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows
(for that smashed pumpkin S'more)
Betty Crocker Pumpkin Bars
Betty Crocker Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Roll Mix
Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies
Pumpkin Spice Oreos
Pumpkin Spice Yogurt Pretzels
Lindor Pumpkin Spice Milk Chocolate Truffles
Duncan Hines Pumpkin Spice Cupcake Mix
(including orange-colored pumpkin spice frosting)
Spiced Pumpkin Seed Tortilla Chips
Krusteaz Pumpkin Pie Bar Mix
Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Quickbread Mix
BelVita Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Flats
Keurig Pumpkin Spice Latte K-cups
Keurig Pumpkin Spice Coffee K-cups
Dunkin' Donuts Pumpkin Spice Ground Coffee
McCafe Pumpkin Spice Coffee
Inspirations brand Pumpkin Toasted O's
Jello Pumpkin Spice Pudding Mix
Inspirations brand Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Bars
Creative Snacks Company's Pumpkin Spice Granola
Quaker Life Pumpkin Spice Multigrain Cereal
All those pumpkin spice goodies are available as long as quantities last, at Haywood County stores like Food Lion. And you can find just as 'punkiny-spicy' a selection of goodies at Big Lots, Walmart, Bi-Lo, Ingles or the new Publix off Russ Avenue (Ooops — that's only a rumor).
Anyway, if you are pumpkin spice-aholic, I would stock up. What you can't consume during autumn, you can put under the Christmas tree or leave it for Santa to use in Christmas stockings. I think that's how Carol got the Kahlua Pumpkin Spice that has been resting in the back of the refrigerator, waiting for fall color.
I hope it doesn't seem like I'm rushing the season, but there are pumpkins everywhere — even in our spice drawer. Happy fall, y'all.

German independent Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek has announced a turnover increase of 3.7 per cent for the 2012 year, with total revenue of €98.4m compared to €94.9m in 2011.
The growth is slower that that recorded between 2010 and 2011, when Heuking announced a revenue increase of 8.5 per cent (21 February 2012).
The firm has made a number of hires in the past year and in December announced the promotion of four partners and five salaried partners (6 December 2012). It kicked off 2013 by picking up a team of nine lawyers from Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe's Düsseldorf and Frankfurt offices (5 February 2013).
Managing partner Andreas Urban said in a statement: "2012 was a year of consolidation. Despite an economic environment shaped by the national debt crisis we were still able to further grow our revenue, crucially assisted by our diversified approach as a full-service law firm.
"We specifically expanded our activities in attractive advisory fields and will continue to do so in 2013. Altogether, we expect a more favorable development of the economy and accordingly also of our law firm for 2013."
The growth is better than that announced last week by Iberian firm Cuatrecasas Gonçalves Pereira (7 February 2013), which revealed that its turnover was up by 1.2 per cent.
