Configura Turns 20
When the chief executive officer of Configura looks back at the last 20 years the space planning software company has been around, he feels his company and its products are at the beginning of their corporate journey, not two decades in.
Johan Lyreborn feels his company has just scratched the surface when it comes to helping dealers and their salespeople do what they do best --- sell office furniture and other goods with a minimum of headaches.
It has been a long journey for Lyreborn and Configura from its home base in Linkoping, Sweden to an emerging brand of space planning software that reaches around the world. It has also been frustrating at times. Lyreborn is convinced he has the best planning software in the world and he's a bit frustrated that it hasn't caught on more quickly, especially in the North American market.
That's not to say the company isn't making serious inroads against its established competitors. Configura counts Steelcase and Haworth as two of its major customers and is actively looking to add more. Still, Configura has nowhere near the established base of 20-20 Technologies. Configura feels a bit like Apple Computers in the 1980s -- the company believes it has a superior product, but is limited by a goliath competitor. The company also would like its market to play out just like Apple's. By producing great products, it hopes customers will turn away from what they know and turn to what Configura believes they know is better.
"20-20 is still the dominant player in the market when it comes to number of users," said Peter Brandinger, who runs the company's US headquarters in Grand Rapids. "We don't feel they are competing with us based on a technical basis. They haven't done anything to improve their technology where the core base is. It is a captive audience."
So for Configura, it isn't a matter of coming up with a better product. It is simply a matter of getting its products in front of more potential clients to prove it. And that's not easy in the North American market, where office furniture dealers effectively run companies independent of their manufacturers. In Europe, it is a much different system and one that's easier to break into for a company like Configura, which prides itself on creating partnerships with its customers to customize its software instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Take Swedish furniture maker Kinnarps, for example. The company controls its sales operations so when Kinnarps decides to choose Configura as its space planning software provider, the sales team falls in line.
In the North American market, dealers are relatively autonomous. If a designer at a major office furniture dealer feels more comfortable using AutoCad driven 20-20 Technologies software, that's what the dealership uses.
Still, Configura is determined to make its software the standard for the industry (and for other industries as well). Though it has become a major player in the space planning software world, the company started small. The company was formed on Sept. 26, 1990 by Sune Rydqvist, Göran Rydqvist and Lyreborn at the Rydqvist summer home on Sweden's Lake Vättern. The company was originally named CadCal Design and the first customer was S-Line Office.
But it wasn't until 1994 that the company got its first big break: a contract with Martela in Finland. Another breakthrough was the company's signing of Kinnarps in 1996. In 2001 the company entered the North American market. Peter Brandinger, who leads the company's North American operations from its Grand Rapids headquarters, said Configura has learned much since it arrived in the US a decade ago.
"What we learned and found interesting at the beginning was how manual and intensive the process (of buying furniture) was -- how much time was spent trying to sell the furniture, how much trouble it was to come up with the price. Over the last few years, clients are requiring more from their dealers. They want quicker responses and they want better proposals.
"The pace is just accelerating market demands. Clients want more service and they are not willing to pay for it the way they were before. Previously, dealers could charge hours or design time and there were ways to finance the quote process. That's not true anymore."
Despite the difficulties of breaking into the market, Configura has had success in North American. And the company has plans to increase its reach around the world. Configura has plans to open an office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to serve the Asian market. "We are very sure Asian companies want to implement technology to be more efficient," Lyreborn said. "We are planning to be there when this starts."
The company celebrated its anniversary in a very Swedish way. It booked a resort near the lake where the company was founded and invited its friends and business partners from around the world. It is an elegant resort, but one with few technological distractions. That's how Lyreborn wanted it. Instead of tapping on iPhones and Blackberries, party guests enjoyed food, entertainment and dancing.
"When I traveled to Linkoping, I met Goran, Sune and Johan; the leadership of Configura and the company itself is solid," said Larry Lee of Haworth. "Every employee seemed just as passionate about the company and the CET platform as the partners. That gave me confidence that Configura would deliver the solutions Haworth required. Moving into a working relationship, Configura has always been very easy to work / collaborate with and is very willing to develop any CET functionality required to support the North American Office furniture industry. I found Configura's developers especially keen in their development approaches and innovative in their solutions to issues."
Though much has changed at Configura over the last 20 years, the underlying bedrock of the company remains its commitment to innovation, Lyreborn said. "No matter where we came from, we never stopped innovating," he said. "It is in the blood of Configura. We have to continue on that path and never stop innovating. Another thing that has been very important to us is our willingness to customize. There are many companies out there that don't want to customize. They think standard is the solution. Companies are unique, products are unique, business intelligence is unique. If you want to have the right benefits there has to be a way to customize the solution. The benefits gained come from the fact that we customize."

SyFy struck gold with their original movie "Sharknado," and last night (July 30) the network rolled out a much-anticipated sequel called "Sharknado 2: The Second One," starring Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Kelly Osbourne, Andy Dick, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Matt Lauer.
It was the surprise TV hit of the summer and now SyFy has nabbed its two leading stars for "Sharknado 2."
Set in New York City, the sequel will include both Ian Ziering and Tara Reid in their roles as Fin and April.
Eager to show off their latest work, Tara Reid and Ian Ziering were on hand for the premiere of "Sharknado" on Friday night (August 2) in Los Angeles.
Lovely in a spaghetti-strapped pink frock, the "American Pie" alum posed beside her handsome co-star on the red carpet in front of the Regal Cinemas L.A. Live.
It's one of the most unlikely hits of the season, and people can't seem to stop talking about the SyFy original movie "Sharknado."
In fact, the "tornado sucks up a ton of killer great white sharks and heads for the city" flick is actually going to be released in theaters for a midnight showing on August 2nd.
Taking the absurd approach to the natural disaster genre, "Sharknado" debuted on the SyFy Network on Thursday evening (July 11).
Based on the premise that a tornado sucks a bunch of sharks out of the ocean and carries them into Southern California, the original movie's cast members Tara Reid and Ian Ziering led the parade of posts on Twitter following the film's conclusion.
Showing off his fine form, Ian Ziering began a month-long hosting gig with Chippendales on Saturday (June 8) in Las Vegas.
Clad in the all-male dance revue's signature bow-tie and white cuff, the "Beverly Hills 90210" alum posed with his new co-stars backstage at the Rio before the show.
Increasing the ratio of girls to boys in the family, Ian Ziering and his wife welcomed a baby girl on Thursday (April 25).
The "Beverly Hills, 90210" star and Erin Ziering told People that Penna Mae Ziering entered the world at 9:21 a.m. at 6lbs, 9oz.
It was a big shindig for Jennie Garth last night (April 19) - not only was she celebrating her 40th birthday, but she also premiered her new CMT reality show "A Little Bit Country."

Homework Questions? Ask a Tutor for Answers ASAP
Hello Antonio,
Welcome and thanks for your question.
People suffer from geriatric problems in their late adulthood. The geriatric problems are those problems which are brought about by aging process. Elderly people suffer from improper vision, deafness, joint pains, malfunctioning of nervous system, failing health apart from mental problems like psychological rigidity, orthodoxy, mental exhaustion apart from others. These problems suffer the senior citizens and create hindrances in discharging their daily routine activities. Their fledgling health brings indifference among other family members as they increasingly depend on others to simple activities. The internal organs lose their efficiency and pain perception decreases as nervous system gets inefficient. The brain impulses are less active to touch, sound, taste and other sensory organs. The overworked organs do not cooperate anymore and digestive system is impaired, thus giving rise to improper absorption of vital nutrients. The overall efficiency reduces and some people suffer depression due to overwhelming physical debility.
The working memory is the worst hit as brain cells die, worn out or rendered impotent. They cannot easily remember things or recognize individuals. Their problem solving ability diminishes and their overall individual contribution reduces. This could potentially instill negative esteem in elderly people and cause them untold misery. However, the knowledge and experiences they gained in a life time cannot be removed from them as these are vividly remembered in the procedural memory of an individual. The experience of being in different situations and the best way out they suggest to young people is of great value and they are often fondly XXXXX XXXXX the same. They can help young people wriggle out of potential threat situations with their timely advice and experience. They can give them a systematic account on how to approach a situation to get maximum success and are regarded as guiding lights.
Every individual knows that death is imminent. However pioneering and distinguishing work in one's own life brings them satisfaction and make them take death lightly. These achievements instill a sense of accomplishment and cultivates a sense of pragmatism and practicality. Social recognition and social respect make them feel that they have special place in the hearts of the people and leaves them with enduring satisfaction. This prepares them for the inevitable. They will develop psychological strength wherein the thought of death does not bother them at all. The cultural values that they imbibed all through their life do not let them worry and allow them to accept death gracefully.
Death of a loved one is always painful. However an individual or circumstances can significantly affect the grief either positively or negatively. For example an individual can explain the mourners of a deceased member that death is as natural as birth of a human. This is reality and one should take in his/her stride and look forward to future. Life does not stop for anyone and materialism is important as long as humans continue to live on earth. A person can remind them of the good deeds the departed individual effected and can encourage them to follow in his footprints and to do that they should move on and catch up with life.
Sometimes, circumstances can drive the grieving to leave the deceased behind and move forward. This kind of situation is usually seen in a war scenes as people leave behind their loved ones who perished and move away to save their skins. This is heart-rendering but is still true. The recent examples being Gulf war and war in Afghanistan.
I hope this will help. please click accept, if you like my answer. thanks for your feedback and any bonus.

Small Engine
Small Engine Troubleshooting Problems? Ask a Mechanic Now.
ETQ Model TG1200 made by Eastern Tools and Equipment Company. FYI, Generator is running fine now, but has intermittantly had the described problem. It still clacks while running. I'm now thinking it's been shutting down automatically when it's been overheating. You can call me at(NNN) NNN-NNNNif you like. I'm in Houston without power, so I appreciate the help!
We're really not allowed to call or email, I don't know why your number showed up, generally it'd be all X's.
I found a parts breakdown of your engine and unfortunately it's of a design that's difficult to check out. Some 2-cycles allow easy access to the connecting rod and piston assembly for inspection and replacement, yours doesn't. Something you can check is the flywheel, hopefully one of the fins is smacking the shroud or something else is loose. I can't tell how the flywheel is secured from the manual. It shows a keyslot in the crankshaft but no key nor a key on the parts list. So maybe the flywheel is slipping a little. Check that it's tight and doesn't spin loosely on the crank.
What's likely happening though is that the piston pin has a scored needle bearing or the pin is loose in the piston. This creates a lot of friction and will overheat an engine and cause it to shut down. Take a long screwdriver, put the handle end to your ear and put the other end to different areas of the engine, like a stethoscope. The clacking noise should be easy to pinpoint this way. If it appears to be internal to the engine, you can further check this by removing the flywheel shroud and the spark plug and turning the flywheel back and forth until you hear the clacking noise. It could also be one of the bearing assemblies on the crankshaft, but it sounds like piston slap or a rod knocking to me.
The other thing to check is that it could be the shaft in the electrical generator itself. If the bushings or bearings it rides on are faulty then it could make a similar noise as could a loose magnet in the generator.
I'm sure you're right that the engine is overheating and shutting down. The last thing I want to hear from a customer bringing something into the shop is that it's making a "clacking" noise and shutting down. Compounding this is your particular position right now. You need this generator to work. Unfortunately, there's not going to be a quick fix if there's an internal problem in the engine or generator. So we'll have to hope you can find something loose. If the noise is internal to the engine, I'd increase the ratio of oil to gas, maybe to 40:1 instead of the manual's recommendation of 50: This can cause its own problems and may foul the plug and won't stop the rod or whatever from knocking, but it might keep the engine in one piece a little longer if it is an internal engine problem.
This is the link to the manual. It should be of some help in looking for the problem. Thanks and let me know if you pinpoint the noise.
Your answer is acceptable. The generator is running fine, but still clacking. It only cost $150, so if it crashes, so be it. But it's running for hours at a time without shutting down. I noticed that some trickle-charge transformers that I had plugged in that overheated (a lot!), so that could have been part of the problem. I'm no longer using them.
Anyway, thanks for all your research and timely responses. I'll troubleshoot the problem once I get power back.
I'm completely satisfied, so thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
Hal Payne

Cie Games' Car Town Streets Cruises into the App Store
Friday, November 16th, 2012
Top Developer of Car Town - the No. 1 Car Game on Facebook - Releases First iOS Game
LONG BEACH, Calif. – Nov. 16, 2012 – Cie Games, a successful social game developer and creator of the leading automotive-based Facebook game, Car Town, today announced the global launch of Car Town Streets, now available for free on the App Store for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. In Car Town Streets, players can find, build, and cruise with all their favorite cars in a fully customizable town. The game is built on the legacy of Cie Games' flagship title, Car Town, which has attracted more than 46 million players and is the first Facebook game built around real-world brands with more than 35 partners.
As part of launch, new partners and the world's most recognizable brands including Hot Wheels™ from Mattel and Sony's "Ghostbusters" will be featured in Car Town Streets. Highlights include:
Hot Wheels™: Live out your daredevil thrills by building an iconic Hot Wheels™ track. Perform cool stunts and collect all four vehicles including a Hot Wheels™ Monster Truck, Twin Mill™, Bad to the Blade™, and the Bone Shaker™!
Ghostbusters: Feeling like there's something strange in the neighborhood? Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! Take a ride in the iconic Ecto-1 vehicle and visit the Ghostbusters headquarters.
Nitto Tire: Construct Nitto Tire shops around town. Headed for a road trip? Equip cars with Nitto-branded all-season street, off-road, and race tires.
"We are excited to partner with Cie Games, known for pioneering authentic in-game brand integrations, to offer players a chance to interact and engage with Ghostbusters-branded content across their mobile and social games," said Mark Caplan, vice president of consumer products, Sony Pictures Entertainment. "To start, fans will have the opportunity to build the Ghostbusters fire station and own a virtual Ecto-1 in Car Town Streets."
"What is core to Nitto Tire is innovation in everything that we do and that includes marketing," said Tomo Mizutani, president of Nitto Tire USA. "Being the first tire company involved in social gaming and now, mobile gaming in the way that we've done with Car Town is just part of our DNA: being on the leading edge. We know that consumer engagement is shifting to mobile devices and particularly games, so partnering with Cie Games on Car Town Streets is not only innovative, it's smart business."
Car Town Streets is a brand new game designed specifically for mobile gamers and offers a different type of game play mechanic from its Facebook predecessor. Players can join Roxy in her quest to restore the town to its former glory when cars ruled the streets. As players find, build, and race with all their favorite cars, new locations and missions will unlock. Other game features include:
- Build a car utopia: Create a town from the ground up with new roads, businesses, and shops. Expand the town from a dusty road stop to a thriving town.
- Collect awesome cars: Explore and find over 60 favorite and iconic cars that will include the Pontiac GTO, McLaren F1 LM, Ford Deuce Roadster, and many more.
- Race against rivals: Upgrade cars and form teams to compete in head-to-head race battles for ultimate victory at the Grand Prix.
- Regular car check-ups: Keep cars running smoothly with tune-ups, tire changes, and performance upgrades to get the edge on opponents in races.
- Salvage old automobiles: Tow abandoned cars found along the roadside and restore them to mint condition in the one-stop shop garage.
- Assign jobs: Make cars earn cash by working fun jobs including delivering pizza and more!
- Visit neighboring towns: Stopover in the next town to keep tabs on friends' progress, help them out or challenge them to a race.
"2012 has been an incredible year as the Car Town franchise expands and focuses on new mobile platforms, launches on international social networks, and crosses over to consumer products with a toy line," said Dennis Suggs, president and CEO, Cie Games. "We are proud to collaborate with Sony Pictures Entertainment, Mattel, and Nitto Tire for the launch of our first iOS game. We are thrilled to debut Car Town Streets to our millions of players and offer them the ability to take the game wherever they go."
Car Town Streets is free-to-play and available worldwide on the iTunes App Store today: www.playcartownstreets.com.

"Originally, Black Cow® was a Slo Poke® caramel dipped into a compound chocolate," says Rich Warrell, director of sales and marketing for Classic Caramel, a subsidiary of The Warrell Corporation and current manufacturer of Black Cow® and Slo Poke® brands. "Our version is a firmer, full-flavored caramel with real chocolate in the piece itself—like a much richer Tootsie Roll®, which is also a type of a chocolate caramel."
Since their beginning in the mid-1920s, sister candy brands Black Cow® and Slo Poke® have changed manufacturers multiple times before finally landing in Classic Caramel's Camp Hill, PA, facility. Both brands will be available in the new 1.5-ounce bar and bite-sized formats.
"We're anticipating the same excitement for Black Cow® as we experienced with the exclusive launch of Bonomo Turkish Taffy® on our site last June," says Greg Balestrieri, CEO of Candy.com. "From preliminary feedback we've received on our Facebook/candydotcom fan page, it's all systems go."

Another 60,000 blocks of land within Melbourne's growth boundary will be released to the market before the end of next year.
Victorian Planning Minister
Mr Guy said the 60,000 lots were within the city's urban growth boundary and would be released with precinct structure plans by the end of next year.
While Melbourne's land market had been subdued for the past two years, and there was no under supply, Mr Guy said it was important for the land pipeline to be primed for a potential upswing in buying.
"There is no use in having growth areas if you don't have land available for construction," he said.
Speaking at the Urban Development Institute of Victoria's national congress in Melbourne on Tuesday, Mr Guy said Melbourne's growth areas combined produced the highest construction levels in Australia, a rate he wanted to maintain.
The UDIA conference coincided with their annual state of the land report, which showed Melbourne did not face the under-supply pressures felt in Sydney, Brisbane or Perth.
Brian Haratsis, chairman of economics and strategic planning company MacroPlan Dimasi, told the conference that more land released to market would improve housing affordability.
"It is always better to be in slight over supply," he said.
Robert Pradolin, Victorian general manager residential for Australand, said more land rezoned for development helped to hold prices steady.
He said that while an over supply could cause short bouts of negative equity for land owners, the medium and longer-term price stability was important for when the market strengthens and in case demand spikes as it did in 2010.
Mr Guy also released three new planning zones to replace existing regulations. A neighbourhood zone will include eight-metre height limits and also focus on neighbourhood character.
A general zone, similar to the present zone one, will have nine-metre discretionary limits and the growth zone will apply to areas for medium-density development. The three zones will be introduced on July 1 and be implemented over a year.

The first adaption of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game (known as the Carddass version) was first released by Bandai in September 1998. Only three booster packs of this version were released before the license of the card game was sold to Konami. The gameplay system used in this version was far simpler and less faithful to the anime and manga in contrast to Konami's OCG/TCG. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is the only card to be printed in English.
See also: List of Bandai cards
There are only 13 official rules in this game:
- ~Rule ➀~
- Both players must use the same number of cards as their Decks.
- ~Rule ➁~
- Draw 5 cards from your Deck to form your hand.
- ~Rule ➂~
- Select 1 Monster Card from your hand and play it to start a Battle.
- ~Rule ➃~
- To determine the result of the battle, compare the ATK of your attacking monster with the DEF of the attacked monster.
- ~Rule ➄~
- If your monster's ATK is higher, your opponent's monster is destroyed.
- ~Rule ➅~
- Even if you destroy the opponent's monster, if the DEF of your monster is lower than the ATK of your opponent's monster, your monster is also destroyed.
- ~Rule ➆~
- When the battle ends, draw 1 card from your Deck and you can end your turn.
- ~Rule ➇~
- Each turn will continue like this, until both players' Decks are empty.
- ~Rule ➈~
- Each player counts the total Level Stars of all monsters that they destroyed. The player with the highest amount is declared the winner.
- ~Rule ➉~
- If you have Spell, Trap or Equip Cards in your hand, you can put them in play face-down.
- ~Rule ⑪~
- You can activate your face-down Spell, Trap or Equip Cards at any time during a battle.
- ~Rule ⑫~
- When the effect of a Spell, Trap or Equip Card is used, it is discarded.
- ~Rule ⑬~
- When a player's Deck is empty, the Duel will continue until the other player's Deck is empty as well.
Each Monster Card (that had no special effect of its own) had 1 of these rules printed on its card text. It should also be noted that all Bandai OCG cards had a yellow background, regardless to whether they were Monster, Spell, Trap or Equip Card (Equip Cards were treated as a distinct class of card, not as Spell Cards).

Sofi's Color Lounge
Sofia Perez has always had a passion for hairstyling and beauty treatments. Her mentor, accomplished hairstylist Gilbert Febles, taught her how to both design hair and push herself beyond perceived limits. After years of experience in running a high-volume beauty salon, Perez created the first Sofi's Color Lounge in Cranford in 1997. Here, she gathered together a team of former coworkers and skilled professionals, and the venture was successful enough to spin off a second location in Summit in 2008.
Today, Perez's adept staff perform their signature color treatments and diverse hair services using hand-picked, innovative products from makers like Goldwell, KMS California, and GK Hair. Both locations have a sleek, modern feel: the Summit site has metallic blue and silver walls, and the Cranford salon also welcomes guests with a metallic color scheme.

Slow start to LORDA syrup production
LANSDOWNE – Jim Crawford holds out a cup filled with a clear liquid. It doesn't look like much – in fact it just looks like water.
Vienneau hopes to bring exhibit to Cole Harbour after Celtic Circle
NEW GLASGOW – Before beginning to sketch the portrait Carolyn Vienneau was going to paint of her grandniece Rehtaeh Parsons, she had to find the perfect photo.
She chose to go with one that showcased Parsons at a happy time, acting silly with her tongue stuck out.
It's only one of several pieces that will be featured in an upcoming art show at The Celtic Circle called "Be The Change," focusing on cyber-bullying.
"We want to bring awareness of the consequences of cyber-bullying and what's available for victims," Vienneau said.
The show will incorporate a number of professional artists as well as youth, using art to demonstrate their depiction of cyber-bullying.
Vienneau has been working with youth from Roots for Youth, the Pictou Youth Club, and a student from her classes at Strokes of Colour Art Studio in Pictou to teach them how to use mixed media and digital media transfers.
She chose acrylic mixed media methods because it offers a new and exciting way to convey their message, she said.
"They can speak through their art. I'll give them the tools and hope they come up what they feel is cyber-bullying. It may be totally different than we (adults) feel is cyber-bullying."
She's hoping to have 10 teenagers involved.
"We would like to have the youth population be involved, as this dilemma has the greatest impact on them, and they, in turn, on us," said Vienneau.
Some of the professional artists participating include Joy Laking, Joan Krawczyk, St. Clair Prest, Dawn McNutt, Lelia Sanford, Brian Atyeo, who is donating his piece to the cause, Carolyn Bedford, Denise Lynch, Rose Ferguson, and Alicia Parsons.
One of the plans for the show is to have three doors as people enter.
"One is closed, and that is the door some people would like to see remain closed. The second door will be open part way. Some will walk by, but some will try to see what is behind the door. The third door will be wide open with all the issues around cyber bullying plainly in view," Vienneau said.
She hopes to see quotes from Martin Luther King incorporated into the exhibition and other suppressed leaders.
"Rehtaeh always posted sayings of Martin Luther King on the back of her door to help her get through the day, so we are going to ask some of the teens to pick a suppressed leader and pair it to one of the 400 kids that committed suicide in Canada and post their favorite saying on the door," she said.
There will also be educational resources available.
Following the end of the exhibit at the Margaret George Gallery in The Celtic Circle, they're hoping to bring it to Cole Harbour.
As well as creating a conversation on the one-year anniversary of Parsons' death, the show will be raising money for the Rehtaeh Parsons Society which is working towards building a place in Cole Harbour for youth at risk, called the Rae of Light Centre.
Twenty per cent of the proceeds from the paintings sold will go to the cause.
As well as partnering with Roots for Youth and the Pictou Youth Group, they're also working with the Pictou County Health Authority, who supplied a $2,000 grant for the event.
The exhibit opens on April 26 by invitation only.
It will be open to the public April 27 and runs until the end of May.

Richard Hamilton Offers Help For Clint Dempsey
Former Detroit Pistons guard Richard Hamilton is on his way to Brazil for the World Cup. At least he said he is.
Hamilton posted this photo to Instagram, though, Wednesday afternoon.

- 1. Place 1 cup spaghetti sauce in a greased shallow 2-qt. baking dish. Top with half of the ravioli, mozzarella cheese, spinach and Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers.
- 2. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Yield: 4-6 servings.

Reviews for Spinach Ravioli Bake
Average Rating
"It's ok. The order of layers is wrong; the spinach is too close to the top and becomes brown and crisp. I even covered it for the first 20 minutes as suggested by other reviewers. I also added the whole jar of sauce (its only an additional half cup), but think it would have been fine with 2 cups as stated in the recipe."
"I used "fresh" ravioli (from refrigerator section) not frozen. I also added dollops of ricotta cheese between the layers and a top layer of the grated parmesan cheese (when baked, it forms a nice golden brown crunchy top layer)."
"Very good and easy! I added a pound of hot italian sausage to the sauce, and used refrigerated tortellini and ravioli. I also only used half of the spinach."
"what a life saver!! Grandkids just dropped in and they were hungry! we all loved this dish. Thank you for sharing."
"Delicious! A great way for me to get my son to eat his vegetables bc he didn't even realize the spinach was spinach!! My son and I enjoyed it very much but my husband doesn't like spinach so I will be substituting broccoli for the spinach next time."
"Love it! I used a full jar of sauce and fresh spinach. I covered the dish as others suggested. Really quick and tasty!"
"Oh so easy and oh so good. Really loved this recipe. I add some pizza sauce along with the regular spaghetti sauce it was really really good!"
"Great taste! My store didn't have the standard pasta ravioli so I used the frozen breaded sausage ravioli. I used twice the sauce and baked half the time uncovered and then covered during the second half of the cook time. Turned out fantastic!"
"Great vegetarian dish when made with cheese ravioli."
"Looks good but the sodium content alone is over the top. I'll get my healthy spinach another way"
"Thank goodness this is so easy and another way to get our spinach. I followed the suggestion to use more sauce and cover it while in the oven for 15 minutes - turned out great. I didn't give it 5 stars because it probably would have been dry/hard as the recipe is written."
"The recipe calls for 2 cups of Spaghetti sauce. I used a whole jar of Spaghetti sauce. If you "smother" the ravioli with sauce then it won't be hard. Yummy. Actually next time I make this I will follow cbybee suggestion and cover it for 20 minutes!"
"Really liked this but the ravioli was a little hard. Next time I will cook it first."
"My kids hated it. I would suggest using a lot more spaghetti sauce, that might help."
"This was so easy and so good. Definitely a keeper!"
"This is great! I did increase sauce by about a cup. I used shredded Parmesan instead of grated, but just because I had it on hand and an Italian blend cheese instead of mozzarella which I think added more flavor than mozzarella would. I baked 20 minutes covered and uncovered for the last 20-25 minutes, this helped to retain moisture. Awesome dish that my picky husband devoured!"
"This recipe is so good and very easy to make. It stays on our menu standby list."
"Absolutely Fantastic! I made the same dish using a home made Alfredo Sauce. My wife went crazy over it."
"Great dish! So easy to prepare and very yummy!"
"So easy to make, my kids enjoyed it and didn't even mind the spinach!"
"So easy and so yummy. Thanks for the recipe from my entire family."

Hits and Misses: Jazz Festival returns with strong lineup; Nuggets offer thrills
April 24, 2013
It's music to our ears that the UNC/Greeley Jazz Festival is upon us once again.
This annual event is a great experience for performers and attendees alike, which in past years has brought in thousands of students from all across the country, as well as local talent right here in our backyard.
Performers, both professional and amateur, entertain the masses for three days. World-renowned trumpet player Jon Faddis, who will perform a tribute to Dizzy Gillespie, and pianist and composer Ahmad Jamal are just a few of the big-name performers slated for this year's festivities, which wrap up Saturday.
Don't miss the opportunity to hear some amazing tunes, rub elbows with your neighbors and enjoy a weekend of jazz-filled fun. For a complete schedule of events, go to http://www.uncjazzfest.com.
Food bank needs our help, votes
The Weld Food Bank could use your help.
The food bank is competing for a $45,000 grant from Walmart Stores, and needs the votes from all of us to win.
The competition includes more than 300 hunger relief organizations across the country that are vying for the grant. The food bank makes an important difference for many Weld residents who, for one reason or another, can't make ends meet. This grant will go to help the food bank feed hungry children. We hope everyone who can will take a few minutes to go to http://www.weldfoodbank.org and follow the link to vote.
Nuggets wrap up strong season
Congratulations to NBA's Denver Nuggets, who finished the 2012-13 season with 57 victories, the most by any Nuggets team since the franchise joined the league in 1976. The Nuggets also clinched the third seed in the Western Conference playoffs, which gives them home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs. The friendly confines of the Pepsi Center should truly be an advantage for the Nuggets, where they have lost only 3 times in 41 games this season — the best home record in the league.
What's admirable about the Nuggets' performance this season is that it has been done without having any superstars on the team — no players of the caliber of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant or Carmelo Anthony are on the roster this season. No Nuggets were selected to this year's All-Star team.
The Nuggets face the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. Here's hoping they can continue their winning ways and advance to the next round.
Thanks for taking time to help others
We'd like to the thank the doctors and employees of University of Colorado Health Medical Group for volunteering to build a Habitat for Humanity home for a Greeley family.
The house will be a home to Desideth Ramirez, her two boys Alejandro, 8, and Miguel, 5, along with her mother, Hilda and brother, Eduardo, 11. About 30-40 Colorado Health Medical Group staff and physicians will assist in building the home.
Greeley Area Habitat for Humanity broke ground Friday morning on the Ramirez home, the 44th of 60 planned for Habitat North in north Greeley. When it's completed, the home will be the 95th Habitat home in Greeley.
We think Habitat for Humanity is a great program, and we're thankful for the work they do to help families in Greeley own a home. We're also thankful to the doctors and staff members of University of Colorado Health Medical Group for taking the time to help out.
residents show support for D6
The Success Foundation's annual breakfast fundraiser was a big hit this year, no thanks to the more than 9 inches of snow that threatened to put a damper on the event or even postpone it.
More than 300 people faced the elements to show their dedication to the improvement of Greeley and Evans schools.
As these folks enjoyed a warm breakfast, they heard testimonials from various speakers on the accomplishments of the Success Foundation to date.
The good that this foundation has provided through its fundraising efforts has impacted many in the community and in our schools.
Our most recent winter storm was no match for the persistence and dedication of those who hosted or attended this event. It is a clear indication that the quality of our children's education is worth trudging through the snow for.

This details are updated routinely to assure the averages are as correct as they can be.
To date, there are 3 broadband internet providers in Kalamazoo, MI. Each of them offer internet packages on average which vary in cost from $29.95 - $74.99.
Should you want even more details on Kalamazoo broadband internet price and promotional averages please take a look at the data previously mentioned. If you'd prefer to learn more about the different types of broadband internet choices readily available refer to the material listed below.
Cable Internet Providers and Services
Cable internet services use a cable TV connection to furnish consumers with high speed internet access. To establish the high speed internet there's a cable modem for the customers end and a cable modem termination system at the cable operator's end. The space from the modem and termination system may be close to 100 miles with basically no issues occurring.
Cable high speed internet can work at approximately 30 Mbps, but certain cable modems may control the quantity of data getting transferred. Moreover, if you use cable high speed internet services you share data transfer useage with additional users. The network monitor assures bandwidth is distributed efficiently to guarantee service will not become sluggish throughout periods whenever general consumption hits higher levels.
You can find plenty ofservice provider options for cable high speed internet. Cox Communications, Comcast and Time Warner Cable are top cable ISPs throughout the majority of the nation.
Look into the availability of cable broadband internet service in your neighborhood - callthe telephone number listed above or type your location within the protected form to get started.
DSL High-speed internet Services and Providers
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) broadband internet services transport data by using a copper line. As opposed to dial-up services, DSL functions using frequencies that aren't intended for generating phone calls by splitting the line into two - one for calls and the other for internet use.
Digital customer lines go from a central office along to users. This usually confines DSL circulation to a maximum distance of 2 miles within the central office, though certain lines go up to 5 miles long. This factor likewise influences the specific upload and download speeds.
The good thing is that little to no infrastructure is involved and it's a genuine broadband internet service that transmits data at a rate up to 10Mbps. DSL may also deliver better security and dependability than other options because it is being supplied by a telephone line that often is not shared.
Leading DSL providers include AT&T and Verizon. You can find DSL options from ISPs in your area by entering your address inside box above.
Satellite Internet Services
Satellite high speed internet services use orbiting satellites to record and pass on broadband data between a satellite company and it's customers. Though the upload and download speeds meet the criteria as broadband, because data must journey to the satellite and back over many miles users may experience signal delays around 1-2 seconds.
Regardless of the possibility of brief delays, satellite broadband internet can provide data at 5Mbps. Satellite high speed internet is best for those wanting broadband internet in outlying areas where other internet services usually are not available.
DISH Network and AT&T are both top rated providers of satellite high speed internet services. See if satellite high speed internet services are available in your area by entering your address within the box above.
Fiber Optic High-speed internet Options and Providers
Fiber Optic is the most recent and fastest way to bring internet into the home. Networks of fiber optic cables can supply internet up to twenty five times faster than other high-speed options and provide an incredibly dependable internet connection. This is due to the fact that fiber optic wiring is more durable than other connections and is not disrupted by noise, static or storms.
For those trying to find the fastest broadband internet access fiber optic is the way to go. Fiber optic networks are famous for their ability to send data at rates as much as 50 Mbps. Right now, Comcast and AT&T provide fiber optic/copper hybrid services but one hundred percent fiber optic broadband internet services are only available through Verizon FiOS. They began providing fiber optic high speed internet services in 2006 and are constantly increasing their service areas.
Find out if fiber optic high speed internet services are available in your neighborhood - call the toll free number above for personal assistance or input your street address in the safe search form.

Welcome to the TRAC site for FloatCanvas
FloatCanvas is a component for (and written with) wxpython designed to make it easy to draw and interact with graphics in arbitrary floating point based coordinate systems. It's a persistent object canvas that supports a variety of graphic objects and:
- zooming
- panning
- binding mouse clicks on object to callbacks.
It includes a large variety of built-in graphics objects, including:
- Bitmaps
- lines
- polygons
- circles
- rectangles
- Text, scaled and unscaled
- Wrapped Text boxes (very minimal layout options)
- points
- Ellipses
- .....
It is also designed to quite extensible -- it's easy to add addition object types, and alter interactive behavior.
It is published under the same license as wxPython (wxWidgets Library License), which means that you can use it in exactly the same circumstances as wxPython itself, which makes sense as it's useless without wxPython.
Getting the source code
A version of FloatCanvas is included with wxPython, in wx/lib/floatcanvas. However, that version is not always up to date, and doesn't include the full set of demos. Your best bet is to get the source from SVN. Floatcanvas now has a new home, as one of the wxPython "3rd Party" packages. You can access it as part of the entire wx SVN repository, or by itself with this url:
You can download it with this command:
svn co http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxPython/3rdParty/FloatCanvas/ FloatCanvas
or the equivalent in your GUI SVN client of choice. If you can't use svn, please send a note to the mailing list, and we'll try to send you an archive of the code.
You can also browse the code with the viewvc interface:
If you wish to contribute, rather than just download, please submit patches to the milaing list or Chris Barker firstname.lastname@example.com
Mailing list
A mailing list is running for FloatCanvas announcements and discussion:
- http://mail.paulmcnett.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/floatcanvas
- http://gmane.org/info.php?group=gmane.comp.python.floatcanvas
API documentation
I'm afraid documentation is pretty week at this point. You can learn about FloatCanvas by:
- Checking out the Demos -- both the main 'FloatCanvasDemo.py', and a bunch of little demos in the Demos dir.
- browse the mailing list archives
- read the source
- Check out the auto-generated docs: A tentative doxygen site is available here. Should the docs for the demo also be included in this docs? Here is a link to the doxygen documentation markup language and doxypy preprocessing filter. These docs are definitively rough at the moment! Alternative options to doxygen should be considered. However, given time, doxygen can provide useful docs.
FloatCanvas showcase
Walk around with a laptop, stop, click, repeat until you have enough data. Now you have a floor plan showing how good the wifi coverage is.
OPCON sandbox
This wargame/simulator needed a canvas surface with unrestricted zooming and a convenient simulator to screen interface.

Float Canvas Refactor
Over the years I've worked on FloatCanvas, I've learned a lot of about structuring code, and programming in general. Also, folks have extended FloatCanvas use beyond my original ideas, and wxPython has added features. So, I think it's time for a re-factoring effort. Anything is on the table, but I hope not to change the spirit of the project, of break the API too much -- here is the Refactoring page with discussion: Refactor

The compact city as envisaged in Melbourne 2030 requires firm planning, based on the extension of radial rail links through the growth corridors, separated by green wedges with medium and high-rise urban and commercial development clustered around rail stations that are linked to local buses.
So how do the expenditure priorities announced in the state budget relate to the strategy?
There is no study to look at the extension of rail links to follow population development into the Doncaster, Scoresby and Plenty corridors. Instead the Government has announced $4 million for a study into the failed automatic ticketing system and $1 million to look at improving one level crossing at Box Hill.
The capital works, which could loosely be linked to public transport, are $7 million to refurbish the Flinders Street concourse, and $28 million to build a footbridge from Federation Square. Haven't they got better things to do with the money than tart up the concourse and improve access to the Federation Square car park for patrons of the MCC and MCG who choose to drive?
By comparison with these miserly amounts committed to public transport, the Government is committed to $1.8 billion for the Scoresby and Eastern Freeway extension, $70 million on the Calder Highway and $121 million on the Pakenham bypass. The Scoresby will compete for freight traffic with CityLink and will make the completion of the ring-road through the Yarra flats inevitable. It will generate a fraction of the benefits from upgraded public transport, including grade separation to remove railway crossing bottlenecks on Stud and other main roads. This would relieve the pressure that the Scoresby is supposed to prevent at a fraction of the $1.8 billion cost.
The main impact of the extension of the Eastern Freeway will be another 35,000 cars a day queueing up at Hoddle Street, which in turn will become the excuse to bore a freeway/tunnel through Parkville to keep the powerful road lobby fully employed through to the second half of the 21st century.
Even worse, in its haste to build the Scoresby, the Government plans to build it as a tollway financed as a public-private partnership that, if CityLink is any guide, will double the ultimate cost to to Victorian taxpayers/motorists.
The reason? It shifts the capital cost off the balance sheet (pace Enron) and satisfies the financial establishment's fetish for balanced budgets, while creating ways of getting their collective nose in the public trough.
Surely even a government as pro-car as the Bracks Government can understand that the best policy would be for it to toll all freeways, which would allow some form of traffic-demand management while ensuring that the system was financed in the most economical, user-friendly manner. (The real problem is that this would adversely affect the incomes of the rent seekers who masquerade as public-spirited risk takers and who have attached themselves limpet-like to the public teat.)
The Government has finally got around to doing something about the fast train project linking Melbourne with lines to Ballarat, Bendigo and the Latrobe Valley.
They have let the tender for concrete sleepers needed to replace the existing wooden sleepers. Unfortunately, they have specified only one set of holes suitable for attachment to 5 feet 3 inches gauge rail instead of specifying that holes also be made to allow later conversion to 4 feet 81/2 inches standard gauge.
This means that at some time in the not-too-distant future, when regional cities will have to convert to standard gauge to remain connected by rail to the rest of the world, the lines will have to be ripped up and new sleepers laid.
The Rail Technical Society of Australia has pointed out that casting the concrete sleepers with two sets of holes would only add an extra 1 per cent to the cost of the contract.
Bendigo is particularly badly served. The double track to Bendigo, built in 1859, was made to standards that still make it the best regional rail link in Victoria. The price of concrete conversion is that one of the tracks will be ripped up. In other words, present capacity will be reduced in order to facilitate a few fast passenger trains.
This has to be conspiracy rather than stuff-up. The consequences for regional Victoria of the failure to maintain capacity on the Bendigo route and the option built into the sleepers for gauge conversion are so obvious they could not be overlooked.
The three regions are being told that in the long term you connect via road or you die.

Sleeved Poncho
This pattern is available for $3.00 USD buy it now
This is a terrific way to knit up a fast cabled poncho. Grab your US 19 needles and 300 yards of super bulky yarn.
This is a fast knit for the snowy New England days. This poncho drapes over your body due to the large needles and you have the option of creating a sleeve when you sew the seam.
However; if you do not want a sleeve, then leave it alone and have a traditional poncho. To make it bigger you could add a cable repeat (cast on in multiples of 9 stitches) and knit for more than the 42" suggested.
Once you finish knitting, leave it be and you will have a lovely bulky cabled shawl. Let me know what you decide to create!

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:12pm
A group of Syracuse Lacrosse alums has gotten together to help form the Simmons Lacrosse Foundation, a non-profit association set up to benefit primarily the Nancy Simmons Wisdom House of Fayetteville, N.Y.
After a successful fundraising event at last summer's Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Classic, where a group of ex-Syracuse players organized the first-ever Burnt Orange squad to play in the Masters Division, the Simmons Lacrosse Foundation was born this spring. The first event will be April 9 in New York City, the day before Syracuse battles Princeton in the Konica Minolta Big City Classic.
"The boys I coached are now between the ages of 30 and 45 and they like to rally around me," Roy Simmons Jr. says. "I always have a reason for raising money, so we started this so people can donate and we could incorporate to raise money for different causes."
The initial cause will be Wisdom House, named in honor of Roy's wife Nancy, who passed away in late 2007. Wisdom House "is designed to be a place where we might honor one another through fruitful dialogue and inquiry," according to its website.
The April 9 event will be from 6-9 p.m., at The Capital Grille in the Time-Life Building in Manhattan and will feature an introduction to the foundation and a silent auction. SU Lacrosse alum James Santiago is helping the foundation by working with Simmons Jr. on a mural about the program's history that will be placed in Manley Field House this fall.
"This is about preserving and educating people about the Simmons Lacrosse legacy," says Santiago. "It's a unique program in that there's an unbroken coaching link from Laurie Cox to Roy Simmons Sr. ro Roy Jr. to John Desko. Four coaches in 100 years is pretty unique in college sports."
I was at the Lake Placid fundraiser and it was pretty cool to see Simmons surrounded by little kids, the eager offspring of his former players. He described a similar scenario earlier this year when the 1990 team was honored during one of Syracuse's home games at the Carrier Dome.
"It's a fraternity," he says. "These kids bleed orange, and they picked up on this and said, Let's raise some money for Wisdom House and for Nancy Simmons."

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Teriyaki Burger
Lived in Hawaii for about three years, I found this Hamburger very special. You must try it to understand how special it is. The creamy taste of potato salad, hot mustard mixed with the juicy Angus beef burger seasoned with sweet and tangy teriyaki sauce, with fresh crunchy lettuce in a burger bun is something delicious and special to surprise everyone.
4 boiled red potato
2 tablespoon of Mayonaise
1 teaspoon of Grey Poupon mustard
1 tablespoon of puree fresh onion
a pinch of salt and sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup of Soy Sauce
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon or more crush red pepper.
1/2 sweet onion, chopped thinly
1.5 lbs. Angus beef ground chuck
1 teaspoon of seasalt
1/4 cup favorite Sutter Home wine
2 Tbs. Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
1 Tbs. liquid smoke sauce
fresh romaine lettuce leaves, slice thinly
1. Make the potato salad ahead of time. Chop boiled red potato into small chunk, mixed it with Mayonaise, mustard, puree onion, salt and sugar, chill in the refrigerator. 2. mixed garlic, soy sauce, sugar, ground gingger, crush pepper in a bowl. Place the home ground chuck in the same bowl, mixed it with olive oil, seasalt, wine, mixed them together. 3. Use your hands to form a large round ball from the meat mixture then raise the ball into the air and toss them hard back to the plastic bowl. Do this procedure again and again for at least 2 minutes or more. 4. Next divide the mix into 6 quarter-pound patties on a large plate or sheet, shape the edges slightly higher than the centers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before grilling. 5. Set up your grill, for added-flavor use hickory or mesquite chips that have been pre-soaked. Make sure your grill is plenty hot before you place the hamburger patties. 6. Grill the thin slices onion until brown and carmelized. 7. Grill according to your taste (rare, medium, or well ). 8. But two minutes before the patties are done, place your hamburger buns on the grill for a minute or two to warm them up. 9. Smear the warmed bottom bun with grey poupon mustard to taste, add slice lettuce, a tablespoon of potato salad, hamburger patty, grill onion, on top of one another and cover them with the top bun. 10. Serve and enjoy immediately.
Instead of ground meat, you can slice the beef thinly and do the same process of grilling.
