ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by April 2, 2004. ADDRESSES: OMB is still experiencing significant delays in the regular mail, including first class and express mail, and messenger deliveries are not being accepted. To ensure that comments on the information collection are received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: Fumie Yokota, Desk Officer for FDA, FAX: 202-395-6974. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: JonnaLynn P. Capezzuto, Office of Management Programs (HFA-250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-4659. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. Focus Groups as Used by the Food and Drug Administration--(OMB Control Number 0910-0497)--Extension FDA will collect and use information gathered through the focus group vehicle. This information will be used to develop programmatic proposals, and as such, compliments other important research findings to develop these proposals. Focus groups provide an important role in gathering information because they allow for a more in depth understanding of consumers' attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and feelings than quantitative studies. Also, information from these focus groups will be used to develop policy and redirect resources, when necessary, to our constituents. If this information is not collected, a vital link in information gathering by FDA to develop policy and programmatic proposals will be missed causing further delays in policy and program development. FDA estimates the burden for completing the forms for this collection of information in table 1 of this document. The total annual estimated burden imposed by this collection of information is 2,830 hours annually. Annually, FDA projects about 28 focus group studies using 186 focus groups lasting an average of 1.78 hours each. FDA has allowed burden for unplanned focus groups to be completed so as not to restrict the agency's ability to gather information on public sentiment for its proposals in its regulatory as well as other programs. In the Federal Register of November 24, 2003 (68 FR 65938), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. No comments were received.

|Property type
|Property ID
It is a five-minute-walk from the central station and the Palace of Culture to apartment G6. It is situated in a typical residential block of the late 60s. From there, all the city's attractions are within walking distance. Just outside the door there is a green corridor, a supermarket and the Hala Mirowska, one of the few original market halls. In the neighborhood have emerged in recent years international hotel chains, upscale apartments and offices as well as chic shops. In between all of this is the only remaining synagogue in the Warsaw ghetto, which was located here before destruction by the Germans.
A complete renovation of apartment G6 started in the spring of 2012. After completion it will be equipped with everything you need for the rest after a city tour and what you can accommodate on 27 m²: A hot shower, a double bed (140cm), sofa bed, an open kitchen with dishwasher, full-fledged stove and a few spices, a flat screen television with DVD player and over 100 channels, free wireless internet and much more. The sleeping area is separated by a wall from the living area. The apartment is on the 2nd Floor, it faces west and the sun floats in in the afternoon. There are elevators and a concierge in a small shop provides surveillance together with the security forces and electronic security systems.
We are managing Maria's flat out of the experience with our Berlin apartment F43 and with the help of Maria's family and friends in Warsaw. We all speak English and / or German and some of us speak a little bit of Spanish. We will be glad to help you with questions about Warsaw and Poland.
We look forward to seeing you!

Reviews for this host's other properties
I've been in Ralph and Maria house some months ago and I can't forget how nice and perfect was their apartment in Kreuzberg.
Beautiful and cozy apartment and location, near all the transports. I'll return there for sure!
Hat alles super geklappt und die Wohnung war sehr schön!
We hadden een heerlijk comfortabel appartement ,
alle benodigdheden waren er .
Gezellige straat beneden met allerlei restaurantjes .
Openbaar vervoer en supermarkten waren prima bereikbaar .
aandachtspuntje : rolgordijnen ivm warmte en vroeg licht s morgens .
Fantastic stay at Ralph's amazing apartment. Perfect Location, great host with an adorable daughter with sweet bear boots. I will definitely come back on my next trip to Berlin!. Thanks a lot Ralph :-)
It was a pleasure to rent Ralph and Maria's apartment.
They were available to answer all my questions before and after the booking and allowed me check-in earlier than usual. Due to this early check-in it wasn't possible for us to meet in person but the experience is very positive.
The apartment is cozy and very functional, with all the necessary equipment for a nice stay. It matches exactly the pictures you see in the add! Plus it is well located, very near the subway and restaurants.
Berlin is a great city full of life, people from all over the world, endless things to do and to visit! To return!
Thank you for sharing Berlin with us Ralph and Maria! :)
It is a very beautiful and modern apartment, we had a great week and the landlords are very nice.
Es ist eine sehr schöne und moderne Wohnung, wir hatten eine tolle Woche und die Vermieter sind sehr nett.
Chouet very small studio, great location in the district of Kreuzberg, Turkish neighborhood, young, full of evening entertainment as full of nice little restaurants excellent and cheap. A short walk from the east side galery, 500 m from the metro station Warschauer straat. Only drawback is that it is located on the 4th floor of a building that has no elevator .. and this could be a problem for older people. Aside from that, it is certainly a place to recommend.
Très chouet petit studio, super bien situé dans le quartier du Kreuzberg; quartier turc, jeune, plein d'animation en soirée car regorgeant de petits restos sympas excellents et bon marché. A quelques pas de l'east side galery, à 500 m de la station de métro Warschauer straat. Seul inconvénient est qu'il se situe au 4ème étage d'un immeuble qui ne possède pas d'ascenseur..; ce qui pourrait poser problème pour des personnes plus âgées. Mis à part cela, c'est très certainement un endroit à recommander.
We had a very nice stay, the flat is very confortable, great neighborhood with a lots of differents restaurants and bars.

Steve Schurtter, of Montreal, Wis., pilots a sled as Mary Mattson, of Iron Belt, goes for a ride at Little Finland's midwinter Laskiainen, or sledding festival, Sunday afternoon in Kimball. A few dozen folks showed up for the festival brunch of kropsua (oven pancake) and pea soup. The kitchen was busy, the coffee was flowing and there were many warm conversations among friends around tables that basked in the sunlight through the windows of Little Finland's hall. The kick sled hangs on the wall of the hall all year and gets out for a spin at least once a year at the Finnish festival.

Failed Get-Rich-Quick Schemes
Get-rich-quick schemes have been around for many decades. Some are more complex than others. But there have been three that have unwittingly attracted literally millions of honest investors looking to make a fast buck without any hard work. That's why they were all, and still are, simply too good to be true.
Investing in "Super Hot" Stock Tips
Unscrupulous stock market brokers and many hedge fund managers have been known to engage in the practice of artificially raising the prices of certain stocks solely for the sake of scamming and defrauding aspiring investors. They can falsely increase the value of most any stock in a number of sophisticated ways that are nearly impossible to figure out.
Good ways of saving money: low low deposit car insurance from http://www.carinsurancedeposit.co.uk , or short term car insurance in Britain!
One way is simply by inflating earnings with a false set of books that's performed by the highly knowledgeable and equally unscrupulous accounting departments of these stock investment firms. They get people who invest as much money as possible on what they call super hot stocks, but since they have no legitimate market value, their prices dramatically diminish over the short term and would be investors lose nearly every cent they put into them nearly overnight.
Ponzi Schemes
Created by an actual scammer named Ponzi, such schemes work by
getting people to invest a small sum of money at the beginning of
the process. Then the scammer pays back a hefty profit. Then a
little more money is asked to be invested. And still more profit is
returned. So everything looks fantastic for the small time
individual investors. But there then comes a point when the Ponzi
scammer asks for an extraordinary amount of money promising even
more returns. What ends up happening is he usually physically
vanishes with the entire investment principal and can never be found
Florida Land Buying Schemes
Fraudulent real estate schemers and speculators promised that people who had some cash could purchase "exclusive" sight-unseen Florida properties for pennies on the dollar and cash in a few short months down the road. The problem was that the owners of theses properties, mostly vacant swamp land that was not able to be built on, never allowed their investors to ever come visit the properties in person. They were bought with the schemer acting as a middleman/broker to claim he had thoroughly investigated the properties and that they were inspected fully and were legally appraised at a substantial fair market value. But none of this was ever true, and when investors finally found out they were scammed, it was too late as the scammers ran away with their funds never to be seen again.

His feet soaking in a tub of ice, his eyes scanning a box score, LeBron James laughed a bit at the notion that his Miami Heat might learn something from a surprising setback against the Washington Wizards.
Not too many people figured this result would happen, though, a message Wizards coach Randy Wittman delivered to his players before their worst-in-the-NBA team went out and beat the Heat 105-101 on Tuesday night behind Jordan Crawford's 22 points – and in spite of James' triple-double of 26 points, 13 rebounds and 11 helps.
Perhaps impressed by the courtside presence of Washington Redskins rookie QB Robert Griffin III, who exchanged a hand-shake with Cowboys fan James after the final buzzer, the Wizards doubled their victory total this season. The Washington Wizards improved to 2-13, earning their second win during the past three games after starting a franchise-worst 0-12.
"I'm so happy for those guys," said Wittman, who called this perhaps the most gratifying victory of his training career.
He said he told his team previously: "The only individuals that think you have a chance tonight are the people here in this room. … We really need to have a statement game." Baseball odds
The ruling NBA champion Heat's 6-game winning streak ended and they slipped to 12-4.
The Washington Wizards don't defeat many teams, but they defeat the Heat: This made it 3 consecutive regular-season victories for Washington over Miami, including 2 last season in April.
The Miami Heat were the ones rushing on occasion and they made only 8 of 28 attempts on 3-pointers. The Wizards, surprisingly, were the ones being patient, making the extra pass, finding the teammate with an open look – and finishing with 31 assists on 38 baskets.
With a crowd of 17,761 – not actually, a sellout – standing and screaming down the stretch, relishing that rare chance to witness a forceful game, Kevin Seraphin gave 16 points and 10 rebounds for the hosts, Crawford made 3 free throws in the last 11 seconds, and James missed a potentially tying 3-pointer with 3.9 to go.
After trailing by as many as 12, Miami tied the game at 88 on Bosh's reverse layup with 6 minutes, 50 seconds left. But Crawford's 15-footer put Washington ahead 99-95 with a little more than 2 1/2 minutes remaining.
With 18 seconds left, James wasted a chance to give the Heat the lead, clanking a 3-point attempt. Crawford's free throw then made it 102-99, and he smacked his palms together vociferously. James made a shot in the lane to tug within 102-101, and Crawford added 2 free throws for a 104-101 edge with 6.9 seconds on the clock.
James then missed his last shot, another 3. Nene got the rebound, and tacked on a free throw.
Unlike the James-Wade-Bosh Heat, the Wizards are mostly a collection of castoffs and high draft picks who never lived up to their billing – or have yet to, anyway. Their best player, 2010 No. 1 overall pick John Wall, still has to take part in a practice, not to mention play, this season because of a left knee cap injury.

New Kensington man accused of robbing pizza delivery driver
A New Kensington man accused of robbing a pizza delivery driver this week got a $24 pizza and $26 in cash, police said.
Perhaps Aaron Michael Walker, 20, of 174 Esther Ave., should have left the pizza behind, because police say they found the empty pizza box and delivery order receipt in his bedroom.
Now he faces a felony robbery charge.
New Kensington Detective Sgt. Robert Deringer said a Papa John's Pizza driver told police he was taking an order to 176 Esther Ave. at about 10 p.m. Monday when he found no one was home. It turned out no one lives there.
But a young man approached the delivery man out of the darkness.
The driver told police the man was wearing black clothing and held what he thought was a gun, pointing it at the driver's chest.
When the robber demanded money, the driver gave him $26 and tried to walk away. But the robber was angry and screamed, "No! Get over here. Where's your money?"
With no more cash, the delivery man said he opened the pizza carrier and asked the robber to take the pizza. When the robber took it and walked away, the driver fled. He called a manager and waited for police several blocks away.An investigation showed the pizza was ordered by a man, written in pizza shop records as Erin, who gave a telephone number — and then changed it by one digit.
Deringer said police tracked the original number to a family who lives next door to the delivery address along Esther Avenue. Deringer said when police knocked on the door, a woman invited them in and consented to a search.
According to police, the woman said her son, Aaron, was the only one home on Monday night.
When checking the home's telephone for recent outgoing calls, police found a call listed to the nearby Papa John's, at 215 Tarentum Bridge Road. A date didn't appear for the call, but it was the most recent call made, Deringer said.
Upon getting a search warrant, police wentto Walker's room.
Police allegedly found a empty box and delivery receipt for a bacon and pepperoni pizza ordered at 9:40 p.m. Monday for delivery to what turned out to be the vacant house next to Walker's. Walker was arrested late Wednesday and arraigned Thursday morning.
District Judge Frank J. Pallone Jr. ordered Walker sent to the Westmoreland County jail in lieu of $50,000 bond pending a June 19 preliminary hearing.

Have you ever set some goals in life? If you have, what are they?
Obviously, you have opted into this system hoping that you will earn some money. Isn't that what you want to do?
If you're still looking for a job, aren't you looking to make money? Or are you just looking for a job, hoping they pay the salary you want. Good luck with that.
If you're mind is set on having a job, working for an employer, I encourage you to look at the big picture.
Where do you want to be 5 years from now?
You still want to flip burgers or working at a Goodwill store and
be at a that same job for the next 40 years and just before you retire
from whatever you're doing, you get fired and you're left without benefits.
Or would you rather work at home, get $20 to $100 for each referral you bring
in and spend more time at home with your family? We work with Zip Nada Zilch and they pay those who refer others to their site. In addition, we work with other companies as well where you can earn income month after month for the rest of your life.
It's entirely up to you to decide.
You can say "No Thanks" and still want to look for a full time job, then I suggest you go to the employment boards and wish you the best of luck.
When you decide on the work at home option, please, call me or text me at 702-305-5448 (verizon). I'll do what I can to help you, including setting up your website, showing you how to blog, posting ads on several sites, and help you in any way I can.
I hope you decided on where do you want to be five years from now. Good luck in making that decision.

Panini America's Exclusive VIP Event will Reward National's Biggest Breakers
July 18, 2012
by Tracy Hackler
On Saturday night during the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore, Panini America will treat 50 elite collectors to an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime VIP experience. And all collectors have to do to earn an invitation is something they're already planning on anyway: Busting Panini America product — lots of Panini America product.
Collectors who purchase at least $6,500 worth of select Panini America products on the show floor through select retailers will gain access to a by-invitation-only private reception Saturday night that will include Hall of Fame special guests, Black Boxes, free autographs and the chance to bid on rare Panini America experiences.
It promises to be the toughest ticket in town during National weekend — and the only way to get it is by earning enough Panini Bucks from one of five show retailers (Dave & Adam's Card World, Blowout Cards, Pittsburgh Wholesale, Atlanta Sports Cards and Marty's Sports Cards) through the purchase of Panini America wrapper-redemption product during the show.
"The National Sports Collectors Convention is one of the most important weeks on a calendar for us that is overflowing with marquee events," said Jason Howarth, Panini America Vice President of Marketing. "It's no secret that we pull out all the stops for the National every year so that attendees know that no one cares as much for them and this industry than we do. We prove it year in and year out with our wrapper-redemption program and our unparalleled willingness to interact with our customers.
"This year, we'll take our industry-leading engagement one step farther with a special evening that will generate buzz and positive memories that will last a lifetime."
Collectors can earn Panini Bucks toward securing a party invitation by purchasing the following wrapper-redemption products through one of the five aforementioned show retailers:
Here is the # of Wrapper Redemption Packs Collectors can expect to receive for opening boxes at the Panini Booth!
Stay tuned to The Knight's Lance for additional details on this special event — including the announcement of the superstar-laden guest list — in the coming days.
Panini America Unveils 2012 National VIP Plans, Keeps Two Cards a Mystery
Panini America officials on Monday afternoon unveiled the details surrounding a special six-card set that will be distributed to registered VIPs later this month in Baltimore at the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention. The set, styled after the legendary Diamond Kings art cards, will include Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Kyrie Irving.
And in an exciting twist, two additional mystery subjects will be unveiled during the opening day of the National, Wednesday, August 1.
You can check out the first four cards in the Panini America VIP set below. Stay tuned to The Knight's Lance in the coming days as we continue to unveil our explosive, show-stealing plans for the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention.
Panini America to Roll Out Live Redemption Trade-Up Program at the 2012 National
July 10, 2012
by Tracy Hackler
Panini America officials on Tuesday announced that the company will introduce a groundbreaking Live Redemption Trade-Up program during next month's 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore.
The unique initiative will be conducted live at the Panini America booth and will afford those collectors in attendance holding multiple outstanding redemption cards the opportunity to trade them in for a card or cards of higher value.
For example, a collector holding four outstanding redemption cards with a combined Beckett value of $100 will have the chance to swap those four cards for one $100 card via a carefully constructed grab-bag system. Prior to the National, the Panini America Customer Service team will assign values to replacement stock and will offer grab bags containing one autograph or prime memorabilia card at $50, $100 and $200 levels.
Each grab bag will offer minimum values at the depicted levels but many will deliver more than the listed value. Some $50 grab bags will contain cards valued at as much as $80; $100 grab bags will contain cards valued at as much as $140 and $200 grab bags will contain cards valued at as much as $250. Each grab bag may also include live onsite redemption cards good for boxes of product.
The Panini America Redemption Trade-Up program will be separated by sport, and collectors will get to choose what sport they select as a replacement.
In order to help expedite the process, collectors participating in the Panini America Redemption Trade-Up program are encouraged to bring with them print outs from the Panini America Website of the outstanding redemptions they want to have replaced at the National. A Customer Service team member onsite will verify the outstanding redemptions as well as their values, before completing the replacement process.
Each redemption card being swapped out must be a minimum of four months old and collectors may swap out up to $400 in value at the show while supplies last. Collectors also will be required to sign a waiver that states they agree to the random pulled replacement.
The Panini America Redemption Trade-Up program will begin Wednesday, August 1, and will run from 5-8 p.m. Stay tuned to The Knight's Lance, Facebook and Twitter for additional details and times, including a preview of the cards that will be available in the program.
You can find the Panini America Customer Service Manager on Twitter right here.

Following a few solid weeks of collector speculation and buzz-generating buildup, Panini America finally is ready to announce complete details surrounding the showstopping wrapper-redemption program it has planned for next month's 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore.
Over the weekend we showcased many of the inserts we have planned for the show, including first looks at the Cracked Ice parallels and Team Colors sets. We also pulled the curtain back in recent weeks with previews of the instant-win packaging printing plates and the National VIP sets we're bringing to Baltimore. But today, we're finally ready to release specifics on how to participate — as well as preview the show-exclusive base set in all of its splendor.
Once again this year, we have developed a must-bust program for collectors that includes a stunning base set, Rookie Cards numbered to 499 and several inserts, headlined by the aforementioned Team Colors insert. There also are randomly inserted autograph and memorabilia cards including Tools of the Trade, NFL Draft Materials, signed Rookie Patch Cards and instant-win cards redeemable on-site for autographed memorabilia.
What's more, we also have a few surprises stuck up our sleeve that we'll show you as the National draws closer.

Press Pass has unveiled its plans for this year's National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore in early August and it's one that will include a bit of mystery.
Mystery packs … and mystery locations for finding them (at least for now).
The Charlotte, N.C.-based manufacturer of NASCAR, non-sport and football draft picks cards will actually not be setting up a booth at the NSCC this year because it is moving to a new office location in Charlotte during the week of the show. Instead, the company will do its mystery pack promotion and wrapper-redemption program through a selected number of dealers at the show — a list that will be announced in advance of the event.
Collectors will get one blind-wrapped "Mystery Pack" for each hobby box of 2012 Press Pass NASCAR product purchased on the show floor, according to the company. (The eligible racing products are Press Pass, Total Memorabilia, Ignite , Redline and Showcase). Each pack will include a National Exclusive Showcase base set parallel numbered to 5 or a 1/1. If it's not one of those cards, it will be a random autograph or race-used memorabilia card.

Upper Deck Planning to Give Redemptions a Good Name at the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention
By Chris Carlin
Pretty much every company will have a different wrapper redemption promotion during the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore, Maryland from August 2 through August 6. Upper Deck recently announced a very compelling wrapper redemption program with limited autograph inserts from the top athletes in the world and another special program for VIP collectors at the event.
But there is another type of redemption that companies don't really talk about at this Convention except for providing collectors with excuses as to why they do not have their cards promised at the show. Of course I am speaking about redemption cards that can sometimes be found within packs of trading cards. For some time Upper Deck was guilty of that offense as well, but beginning with the 2012 Sports Cards & Collectibles Expo in Toronto, Upper Deck offered customers an exciting new service where they could pick up any outstanding redemptions right at the show. If customers had cards pending that were not available, the customer could also opt to have them exchanged and have their comparable exchange cards waiting for them at the Upper Deck booth during the show. Here's how the process works:
1. Review your outstanding redemptions by logging into your Upper Deck account.
2. Make a determination of which cards you would like shipped to you at the show (cards with a Status of "In house") and which cards you would like exchanged that are not currently available to ship.
3. Send an email to email@example.com with the subject title "2012 NSCC Redemption Program." In the body of the email, please cut and paste the code and description of the card(s) you would like fulfilled or exchanged. In thirty words or less, describe the type of replacements you would like to receive focusing more on teams, regions and brands you are interested in rather than particular players if the card is not in stock.
4. Requests must be received in by Monday, July 23. Card owners can pick up their redemption package during the show with a government issued identification card. Card owners will also be required to sign for the redemption package in person. Only the actual card owners can pick up the cards, so you cannot pick up items for a friend.
Upon arrival to the Upper Deck booth at the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention, please provide an Upper Deck representative your government issued identification so they can find you on the list and grab your redemption package.
You will then be asked to sign for the redemption package.
You can then claim your redemption package from Upper Deck!
Open your package and enjoy what you find!
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not provide the information exactly as described, we will not be able to honor your request so make sure you take the time to get us exactly what we need in the format requested to help.
Hours for pick-up are listed below:
Thursday, August 2 – 1:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Friday, August 3 – 1:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Saturday, August 4 – 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
If you do not think you can be at the show any of these days, we ask that you do not request this service. Additionally, if you fail to pick your cards up, you will not be able to request this service in the future and there could be additional delays in getting these cards to you. Additionally, if there is more demand than we can handle to make this program a success, we may have to stop accepting requests before July 23.
Customers at the 2012 Sports Cards & Collectibles Expo in Toronto really appreciated this service.
Take a look:
Next, Upper Deck understands collectors get frustrated when pulling redemption cards from any pack. And we also understand collectors get upset when they pull a redemption card that has expired that they can no longer claim. Upper Deck has made a conscientious effort to raise awareness of when redemption cards expire by publishing a "Last Call" list for redemptions. And the best way to avoid issues with expired redemptions is to not put them in the product in the first place. Upper Deck has had significant successes with packing out products with ZERO redemptions this season; most recently 2012 SP Signature Edition Baseball. While some releases may be delayed to get more autograph content in, we believe it helps provide collectors with a better pack opening experience if there are fewer, or better yet, zero redemption in the product.
That being said, collectors still purchase older products and can have a really negative experience if they find a redemption that has expired from any company. As a one-time event, Upper Deck is excited to offer collectors visiting the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention a very special experience on Saturday, August 4. Collectors may bring up to five (5) unscratched, expired redemption cards, FROM ANY MAJOR MANUFACTURER, to the Upper Deck Booth before 4:00 p.m. to take part in a special expired redemption card raffle.
Upper Deck will have OVER 100 PRIZES available in this raffle consisting mostly of limited autograph cards, but also some select memorabilia and unopened product. "The Upper Deck Redemption Raffle" will begin promptly at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday evening where we will pull unscratched, expired redemption cards for fans in attendance and reward prizes. Collectors must be present at the Upper Deck booth during the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention to win. Again, to participate, the cards must be a sports redemption card from any major trading card manufacturer that features a scratch off code that has not been scratched.
What are some of the prizes that will be available? We are glad you asked, take a look!
This is just one of over 100 amazing prizes that you could win in The Upper Deck Redemption Raffle for expired redemption cards!
The items used come from promotional signature stock, items pulled during product review and from expired QA and redemption inventories. To see more prizes available for "The Upper Deck Redemption Raffle" please visit the Upper Deck Booth during the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention. And if you have questions about either of these programs, please share them in the comment section below.

Historic Autograph's 2012 National Convention Promotion
For the first time ever, Historic Autographs will be represented at the National Baseball Card Convention in Baltimore, Maryland. To properly introduce our company to the collecting masses, Historic Autographs has created two promotions; one for the collector and one for store owners.
Historic Autograph's "Legends of the Hall" promotion for the collectors is quite simple – any collector that purchases a box of 2012 HA Legends of the Hall product at the National will receive a redemption card with the box (at the time of purchase from the show dealer). The collector will be instructed to bring the unopened box and the redemption card to the Historic Autograph booth, where they will be required to open the box and turn in the redemption card for a second PSA/DNA encapsulated Hall of Fame autograph. This will give those who participate in the program two HOF autographs for the price of one box. The promotion is limited to the first (250) boxes sold – and all boxes must be opened at the Historic Autograph booth and submit the redemption card received from the show dealer to a HA representative. Limit 3 per person, per day. The redemption autographs will include some big names such as Tris Speaker, Ted Williams, Fred Clarke, Reggie Jackson and Whitey Ford. Giveaway autographs will include some of our Ball of Fame baseballs, 2012 Legends of the Hall cards as well as PSA Certified signed items. For those looking to stop by our booth, it will be located in the Cooperate Area next to PSA Pavilion.
The store owners will be offered the chance to win one of HA's fifty custom 6' tall, free-standing store displays, complete with shelves to display the Historic Autograph's product line. Each display will feature a 5' image of the Big Train Walter Johnson. For those store owners that are interested in getting a free Historic Autographs Walter Johnson stand-up display, please stop by the HA booth and fill out an information card for the daily drawing as Historic Autographs will be giving away displays every day.
BULLETIN: Historic Autographs will have the TWO Joe Jackson autograph cards on display that will be in 2012 Historic Autographs "Why the Hall Not?" product (August release). Stop by the HA booth and take a look. Both Joe Jackson cards will be "live" pulls in the upcoming "Why the Hall Not?" product along with Lou Gehrig, Roberto Clemente, Walter Johnson and modern stars Ichiro, Derek Jeter and Albert Pujols.

You'll need 2 wins server, one on each side, to be abble to explore network
So just configure the VPN tunnel, install a wins server on each side
(configure to replicate with the other one) and nothing more. It doesnt
matter who is the dhcp server, as long as its possible to configure the wins
options in the dhcp.

Park St. Bridge in Toccoa Closed
The Park Street bridge over the railroad tracks in Toccoa is closed.
The bridge has been closed for a number of days and Toccoa City Manager Billy Morse announced that the bridge would remain closed for the time being at Monday's city commission meeting.
Morse said that the city was instructed to close the bridge.
"We have been notified by (the Georgia) DOT to close the Park Street bridge," said Morse. "It is due to rot in several of the support columns and it is not safe for vehicular traffic."
Morse said the bridge is owned and maintained by Norfolk Southern Railroad.
"We are in the process of making contact with the railroad concerning this matter to see what their plan to address this matter," said Morse. "Hopefully, they will respond that repairs will be made soon."
The Park Street bridge is located just off of Currahee Street in Toccoa, across from the old cotton mill.

BNamericas, quoting a study by local consultancy Prince & Cooke, reports that revenues from Argentina's telecoms market totaled ARS24 billion (USD7.6 billion) in 2007, an increase of 25% compared to 2006. The study found that revenues were driven by the mobile telephony and internet segments. Mobile revenues surged 42% last year compared to 2006 while the internet sector experienced 40% growth. The cellular market accounted for 45% of total turnover. The country ended 2007 with 2.6 million broadband subscribers, and approximately 800,000 additions are expected this year.

fwknop implements an authorization scheme called Single Packet Authorization that requires only a single encrypted packet to communicate various pieces of information, including desired access through an iptables, ipfw, or pf firewall policy and/or specific commands to execute on the target system. The main application of this program is to protect services such as SSH with an additional layer of security in order to make the exploitation of vulnerabilities much more difficult. The authorization server works by passively monitoring authorization packets via libpcap. Also supported is a robust port knocking implementation based around iptables log messages.
|Networking Firewalls Monitoring Security
|Operating Systems
|POSIX Linux
|Perl C Python
Release Notes: A double free bug in the libfko SPA parser discovered with a new Python SPA payload fuzzer was fixed.
Release Notes: When SPA packets are built with GnuPG, the fwknopd daemon now requires a valid GnuPG signature by default, and a new variable GPG_DISABLE_SIG was added for backwards compatibility (but using this is not a recommended configuration). A bug was fixed in fwknopd for a memory in SPA packet decryption when GnuPG is used. A new code coverage mode was added to the test suite to interface with the 'lcov' tool. Several other minor bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: This release adds HMAC support to the Android client, adds an AppArmor policy for the fwknop daemon, adds support for building on Mac OS X "Mavericks", and adds a new Valgrind test mode via the CPAN Test::Valgrind module. A few bugs were fixed with dealing with GnuPG encryption modes in the fwknopd daemon, and the fwknop project has a Coverity defect score of zero.
Release Notes: A bugfix in the fwknop client to reset terminal settings to orignal values after entering keys via stdin. A bugfix in the fwknopd daemon to not print a PID file existence warning. A test suite bugfix to not run an iptables Rijndael HMAC test on non-Linux systems.
Release Notes: This release added support for HMAC SHA-256 authenticated encryption in the encrypt-then-authenticate model. Many bugs discovered by the Coverity static analyzer were fixed. OpenSSL compatibility tests were added to the test suite. Client stanza saving ability was added for the ~/.fwknoprc file, simplifying fwknop client usage. The ability to automatically generate both Rijndael and HMAC keys with --key-gen was added.
Re: Extra external IP source
> You can use as IP source also the
> following Webpage:
> http://www.netorbit.it/ip.php
Thanks, yes that page works great as an additional auto-resolution URL with the --URL option to the fwknop client.
Extra external IP source
You can use as IP source also the following Webpage:
A Fluent OpenStack client API for Java.
A TWiki appliance that is easy to use and lightweight.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My atty has really screwed me & I want to know a reasonable should do to get a fair trial. He orrally withdrew for irreconcilable differences, owes me $5,000, has damaged my case & been abusive.
The first thing you should do is speak with your attorney about why he made a motion to withdraw from your case. Have a civil discussion with counsel .Then discuss any fees you have paid that you feel were not earned by him. Then if the court has granted his motion to withdraw, you need to get substitute counsel to represent you in the pending criminal case.
Review the facts with your new attorney to see if there are any grounds to file a motion for ineffective assistance of counsel at this stage of the case, and will such a motion benefit your defense in any way. I don't practice in AR. Retain a competent experienced criminal defense attorney there to assist you and advise what options are available to you.
I am trying to give you a general answer to your question. We do not have an attorney-client relationship by this response on the avvo website. I have not been retained to represent you. I am licensed to practice law in Kentucky and in federal court in this state and the Southern District of Indiana.

Will Work For Yoga
Chi feeling totally out of whack but you don't have the cash to get that thing realigned at a fancy yoga retreat? (Clearly we have no idea what Chi actually is and have confused it with your spine.) Well today's your lucky day because a few yogi-friendly meccas are making spiritual vacays a little more accessible. Enlightenment and free exercise awaits, after the jump!
Instead of charging a few thousand dollars a week, the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA charges just $300-$900 a month for room, board and classes in exchange for a few hours of work a day. And by "work" we don't mean super manly labor like chopping down trees and building sweat lodges, it's generally more along the lines of helping prepare lunch, cleaning rooms or washing dishes. Sort of like what you already have to do at home anyway.
The Ananda Ashram Yoga Society in Monroe, NY offers a work-for-spiritual-harmony sort of deal, too. If you've got a lot of free time and very little cash which, let's face it, a hell of a lot of us do these days, take an unpaid staff spot at the Ashram and they'll give you a place to stay, food to eat and all the yoga lessons your soon-to-be-buff body can handle. Not a bad deal, if you ask us. Bonus points if you get an Eat, Pray, Love-level book and film deal out of the whole thing, too. [The New York Times]

Click here to view the embedded video. Fresh off his first career double-double Monday night (13 points, 10 rebounds), Thunder center Hasheem Thabeet pulled off an even more impressive feat in Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets: a rescinded ejection. The former #2 overall pick got in a minor dust-up with fellow 2009 draftee James Harden after a tough no-call, and referee Marc Davis quickly sent the big man packing. However, following a TV timeout, Thabeet strolled back out on the court a free man (minus a technical foul), while the Oklahoma City faithful gave him his first — and likely last — standing ovation. Upon further review, Hasheem Thabeet has been allowed to return to the game. The ejection has been revoked. Thabeet gets a standing ovation. — Darnell Mayberry (@DarnellMayberry) November 29, 2012 via RocketsRed Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

"All of us at Quealy make wine in the vineyard. Danny and I established that the best ingredients in wine are sunshine, fresh air, intellect and time; all of Quealy wines capture these ingredients." - Kathleen Quealy
"All of us at Quealy make wine in the vineyard. Danny and I established that the best ingredients in wine are sunshine, fresh air, intellect and time; all of Quealy wines capture these ingredients." - Kathleen Quealy
Musk Creek Vineyard is a mixed farming property with 11 acres established in 1994 to Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Muscat Rouge à Petit Grains. The native timber covered valley folds down towards the sea, located only 5 kilometres away. The vineyard is North-North East and the elevation allows a view of Westernport Bay. The soil is a deep and heavy brown clay feed by springs.
The vineyard has great capacity to create aromatic wines with high natural acidity. Musk Creek Vineyard requires great energy and expertise to harness the natural vigour and transform into grape quality.
There are 17 acres of vineyard on our 40 acre property which homes the Quealy Winery & Cellar Door. The property slopes gently to the North, and is on a duplex soil with marginal drainage. The vineyard is the top half of the property and is planted to our 17 Rows Pinot Noir; and Pinot Grigio, Friulano, Moscato Giallo, Riesling & Chardonnay all of which go in to make our Pobblebonk field blend.
The vineyard drains to a dam that is home to many wild birds, turtles, fish and yabbies. The remaining property, once an abandoned orchard has over the last 10 years begun to restore itself, smothering the blackberry with native Goodenia ovate and renewing the vegetation with a march of tea tree, blackwood and swamp gums; underneath there is an array of orchids and smaller flowering shrubs.
Explore Mornington Peninsula wine at our informal cellar door, nestled inside the winery.
Taste Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Italian styled white wine & late harvest Muscat; wine that expresses a bond with a culture & terroir. Our innovative viticulture creates ripe structured Pinot Noir & Gris that will impress you with their body & power. We are the Peninsula's pioneer of Italianesque including Turbul Friulano fermented in terracotta anfora, Pinot Grigio & and super white field blend called Pobblebonk.
Our cool climate Late Harvest Muscat is from local vineyards, we established 20 years ago. These wines remain as rare as they are exquisitely balanced, with their lighter alcohols, sweetness & arresting floral perfume.
Taste Quealy's wine at our old fashioned winery cellar door conducted by involved & knowledgeable staff where innovation is our tradition.

Licensed To Tune: The Name Is FREAKS, HORSEPOWERFREAKS
It is true, HorsepowerFreaks is now an authorized AEM Infinity Installer and Tuner. We can sell the AEM Infinity and Install them. AEM is selectively releasing the Infinity to tuners who can support their product and have gone through the AEM Infinity training in Los Angeles. Here's a link to the very few authorized dealers for the AEM Infinity.
But don't get too excited yet. No AEM dealer on this list is allowed to sell the AEM Infinity quite yet and they only exist with a Supra configuation and a generic or Supra harness. We are getting our first infinity early next week and it is going in John's E30 / S54 swap. AEM does have the plug n play S54 Infinity on their schedule but it will be a little while before everything gets figured out and released.
The AEM Infinity software uses VE based tuning and was quite easy to use. I was really impressed with how quickly you could dial a car in. The computer is so fast you can literally log every parameter in the system 1000 times per second. Then you can stop the log, click on a spot and flip through the maps and graphs and it follow along your tune and adjust any cell or cluster of cells you want.
The downside is much of the additional functionality and extra features we are used to seeing in our AEM EMS and are required to run our turbo kits isn't there yet. So we need some software changes as well. But it will come some day. Until then we will be playing around with the AEM Infinity here in Portland and will keep everyone informed as the eta when it will eventually be sold with our E46 M3 turbo systems. For those that have our current systems there may be a couple features you could get with the Infinity that you don't currently have such as Flex Fuel and Wheel speed based traction control. However you can still run E85 with our current system just not flex fuel, and you can run our current traction control which is acceleration based not wheel speed based. Would be nice to have a built in accelerometer wouldn't it? I asked in the training. ha ha.

38th Voyage Whaleboat Event: Mystic River Row
May 17, 2014
As part of her grand send-off, Mystic Seaport staff members will row a fleet of whaleboats downriver behind the Charles W. Morgan when the vessel leaves for her 38th Voyage on May 17, 2014. The journey will begin at Mystic Seaport and continue downriver under the Mystic River Bascule Bridge. All are invited to line the banks of the river and watch this historic moment.
The whaleboats will depart with the Morgan at 9:15 a.m. Four of the whaleboats, which were built for the 1841 whaleship's 38th Voyage, were created by Gannon & Benjamin Marine Railway, Great Lakes Boat Building School, Rocking the Boat, and The Apprenticeshop. The fifth boat was built by Will and Walter Ansel for Mystic Seaport in 2003 and will return to the Museum after the downriver row.

AUSTRALIAN cycling great Phil Anderson has denied witnessing Lance Armstrong offer a bribe to help fix a race.
Two other former cyclists have alleged Armstrong offered inducements to rival competitors during a lucrative 1993 race series in the US. Armstrong scored a $1 million bonus by winning three successive races in the series.
New Zealander Stephen Swart gave evidence in a court case seven years ago that Armstrong offered his team $50,000 to not ride aggressively in the second race.
The ABC's Four Corners asked Anderson if he was in the room when Armstrong made the offer to Swart's Coors Light team.
At the time, Anderson and Armstrong were riding together on the Motorola team. ''I don't recall being in that meeting,'' Anderson said. ''I mean nah, it's … $50,000, substantial amount, I'd remember that you know.''
When contacted by AAP, Anderson strenuously denied witnessing the offer. ''I have thought long and hard about it and I cannot remember it at all,'' Anderson said.
American Frankie Andreu also alleged that Armstrong offered money to two rival Italian riders during the third race. Andreu said he saw Armstrong give the two Italians ''a shoe box filled with money'' after the race.
Anderson also said he did not recall Armstrong trying to bribe rivals during the third race.
Up until now, Armstrong's downfall has focused on his doping and bullying of people who tried to expose him for using banned methods.
Australian anti-doping scientist Mike Ashenden again savaged Armstrong in the same program, calling him a professional and pathological liar. Ashenden has insisted Armstrong doped during his 2009-11 comeback, something the disgraced cyclist strenuously denied during last month's Oprah Winfrey interview. ''He's a professional liar, for 15 years? I don't think anyone should even blink at the prospect of maybe he told one more fib,'' Ashenden said.
