Get a ShoreTel system. There are some great escalation profiles that you can set up that rings or sends voicemails to phones that you specify, at whatever time periods you specify, until someone gets the message. Works fantastic.

We have our tickets sent to our cell phones as text or sms messages. I just set up a filter in my mail account to forward any messages from our spiceworks server to firstname.lastname@example.com. It think all cell carriers have an addressing system like that where you can send a text based email to email@example.com, and the first several lines of text will be sent to the phone. You just have to google for your carriers address, and expiriment. I remember when I set ours up it only took me about 5 minutes.

There are two methods for our customers to get a hold of us during afterhours.
First, is the fact that we all have internet service on our phones so we have ticket alerts set to email us when tickets are entered. Our second method is voicemail to email. When people call our helpdesk and leave a message, the voicemail is emailed to us (which of course we can listen to on our phones.) And to make this functionality happen we had to be set on Exchange 2007 of course... :)

Olive Labs is an IT service provider.
basically there is a 9-5 m-f # they call into and it hunts the tech staff on business hours. and we trade off the after hours forwarding. also as backup i give away our cell #s incase of emergency.
not very high tech, but it works for us, there are 3 of us total.
Aug 27, 2008 at 2:52 UTC
After hours they call the front desk and the desk calls us. High tech we know...chances are m co-worker will just come in..he's only 3 blocks from there..I'm an hour.

Aaron have you thought about just creating an on-call schedule? Then that employee would be forced to check their email/phone for afterhrs emergencies.
Aug 27, 2008 at 3:30 UTC
Yeah, multiple ways to handle this on the technical side but the bottom line is getting people to respond to the calls. If 1/4 of your team doesn't participate then it's going to cause some hard feelings down the road.
My team is just me and I handle the off-hours call-ins by taking the same amount of time during the week. So I come in on Saturday night to reset the flim-flam and I spend three hours doing it. I'll take that three hours the following week or the week after, leave early or come in late... there's no way I could ask to be compensated for the time but this works out for both parties.

Firstly, is there a business need for out of hours support ? If so you need to raise this with HR / business to arrange for contracts to be changed and suitable compensation. This could be a voluntary rota, compulsary shift patterns, and so on coupled with on-call standby fees, call out fees, time in leui, etc. All depends on what your business needs & is willing to pay for.
As for contacting the staff out of hours it all depends on how they currently contact them in hours:
- Do they phone an internal number to contact you? If so, can this be diverted to the on-call person out of hours?
- Do they contact you via email? If so, perhaps consider putting an out-of-hours reply to instruct people to call the support number instead? (Asking someone to check email during out of hours constitutes working, whereas being "on call" is not the same thing)
- Can you utilise Asterix? (Opensource telephony platform) We use this at our place and employees call a central number in/out hours and according to a rule set the playform routes calls accordingly.

Hello Aaron5624,
Almost all new phone systems on the market have functionalities that fill in your needs. But buying a new phone system just for this is to crazy.
Simple and easy solution:
I suspect you have a internal phone for the helpdesk. After working hours forward the call's to a Mobile phone (maybe you can program it already so it goes automaticly?). Just make a standby planning for all helpdesk employees (Example: every week someone else takes the Mobile phone @ home). This will do the job just fine.
If you want to keep track of the spended hours you can allow accessing the spiceworks helpdesk from outside the company and give PDA's (or other handhelds) with internet access to the helpdesk employees. That way the intervention hours of the helpdesk staff or always up-to-date and reliable.
(NOTE: keep the network secure)

We use a phone service call OneBox for all calls. It is an online PBX that allows calls to come in on an 800 number (888) that they can then pick extensions. When it rings our extension, it calls both our desk at one client, and also our cell phones. (We are a consulting company) If we do not answer, the voicemail they leave is sent to us via email for listening to on a Moto-Q. We only use the Q for email and data. It allows us to pick through stuff that is important, and something that can wait until the next morning because as we all know, everything is an emergency. We also have our own custom ticketing system that they submit requests to, and it sends us notification when one arrives.
From the sound of your situation, you could just have an after hours pager that you swap on weekends and evenings. Who ever is on call that night takes it. You need to establish a set of rules with the pager though. What criterial is an emergency. My ex had one for her one job and they were paging at all hours for stupid stuff like so and so is 5 minutes late and I need to leave @ 2 am. I had to get on the phone and threaten one of her employees about calling with stupid shit again. I can't find this, can we do that - makes me tense just thinking about it.
This might be a good example: (Sorry Could Not Resist)

I work on a staff of only 2 servicing 400 employees. My team member and I rotate a 7day on 7days off call schedule starting at 8am on Monday Mornings. Our Help Desk hours are 8am to 5pm Mon-Friday. So the person who was on call over the weekend accutally is on call until 8am Monday Morning. Then the Next team member begins his 7on at 5pm Monday. This has worked well.
We are compensated for this at a rate of $3 per hour on call. This rate is for performing tasks remotley or by phone that don't require we come back in. If we are to come back in (Call Back Time) regardless of day or time of the week it is Time&ahalf with a minium of 2hours even if it only takes us 15min. Looks something like this on pay day.
On Call
Monday: Regular Time 8 hours Call Time 7 hours (5pm-12am)
Tuesday: Regular Time 8 hours Call Time 16 hours (24hours - Regular Time) this holds true again till monday when you are fixing to come off call with Sat. and Sun. being 24hours on call.
Monday: Call Time 8 hours (12am-8am when Help Desk Opens)
Week 1 (On Call) Regular Pay: 40 hours Call Pay 119 hours
Week 2 (Off Call) Regular Pay: 40 hours Call Pay: 8 hours
Now to address what is an emergency or not, because if we have to come back in it is time&ahalf our company does not let the staff call the on call it direct they must report the issue to their supervisor/ manager who is the only person(s) allowed to contact us if there is a problem outside of normal operating hours. This has tremendously cut down on the amout of calls we get and also the stupid ones.
As far as the communication solution the aboved mentioned sound like they are worth investigating. We simply carry a cell phone and if we recieve a call from our company we have 30min to respond back.
I hope this helps...
Aug 28, 2008 at 10:39 UTC
We are a relatively small company, so we have the UPS's call us :)
Then, we call each other and someone goes in to fix the problem.
Aug 28, 2008 at 1:30 UTC
There are two of us and we're each on 3 weeks on/off "on-call". The on call person carries a company cell phone. The plant operates 24/7 and we work day hours only, so if something happens after hours that can't be resolved remotely, then the on call person has to go in to the plant...
I'm now thinking a Blackberry might be a good alternative to the cell phone as we'd be able to remote in from it rather than running home to log in when getting an evening call when out for the evening.
Aug 28, 2008 at 1:38 UTC
On the User Portal for Spiceworks, we have an "After-Hours Emergency" link that not only creates the ticket, but also sends an email to our emergency group. Members of the group have the option of receiving it as an email or a txt message.
Since I'm the only "in the trenches" IT Guy (the rest are software developers), I receive the txt and respond accordingly.
Aug 28, 2008 at 3:20 UTC
Two techies take turn on weekly basis to be on-call during off-office hours (5-10 PM and 5-8 AM), so users just call the person on-call.
Once a call is received, if there is the need to access a network/computer the techie has VPN access to the network and remote connectivity to any of the business centers. A lot of the calls are solved over the phone.
Aug 28, 2008 at 3:27 UTC
There are two of us here. My boss takes most of the after hours calls (I just started two months ago). In some cases where a users askes me before hand to be available for some afterhours support I will, otherwise they call the boss and he will call me if that needs to happen.

We were able to get in on Grand Central right before Google bought them. We got our number through them and then 'tie in" each IT persons cell phone to it. Instead of our users needing to keep track of 7 different people that might be on call - plus a home and cell for each. Now they just have the one Grand Central number to call. You pick what phones you want to ring and when. The hardest thing we have to do is make sure the person coming off calls signs in on line and unchecks his phone and checks the person coming on. You can also make it ring everyones phone - it works however you set it up really. Great features too like allowing you to listen in on someone leaving a voice mail without them knowing (like an old answering machine) and then jumping in if you decide to take the call. Also lets you record calls which has come in handy to prove some of the stupid calls we were getting.
We have a strict policy for our employees. It has to be a major problem to call out for. If one computer is down - its not an emergency, cause there is always another one not being used. If took awhile to get people to understand that we weren't trying to be an ass to them but stuff that could wait until Monday would have to wait. If an entire system is down we are there in a flash. If you can't locate a file or that cool smiley face game you downloaded has locked up your computer -- ummmmm we'll see you Monday.
Aug 29, 2008 at 7:29 UTC
Our system is very simple. If a piece of hardware fails I get a page and I come in and fix it. If a user needs me they call me on my cell phone and I come in and fix it. Can't get much simpler than that.
Aug 29, 2008 at 7:31 UTC
Chris, I was going to say Grand Central earlier!! I got in after Google bought them, so you may still be able to - just request an invitation, give it a week and see!
There are some horror stories about it, and a huge lack of any news from Google, but it still works. If they can get this going then I would pay for some type of service with it. My guess is they are trying to figure out how to stream advertising through it.
Aug 29, 2008 at 7:49 UTC
Since I am the only admin for our company of 34, I am on call 24/7. However, we have very few emergencies so getting a call is quite rare. I have our servers and routers setup to send text messages to my BlackBerry in case of trouble. I can remote access our system from home and settle most problems.

Our users have 1 number to call.
We are using www.ringcentral.com to ring multiple phones simultaniously.
I'm pleased with how it works.
We didn't want to use a communication method that relies on in-house equipment.
It looks like the cost is less than 1/2 of www.onebox.com that someone else suggested.

akp982 is an IT service provider.
Im the only IT guy with a varying number off users from 100 to 150 depending on freelancers etc
I just divert my desk phone to blackberry which turns off at 11 and on at 5 so i can get some sleep but other than that anyone can call me if they have a problem.
I then charge double time in half hour slots.
Aug 30, 2008 at 3:52 UTC
We could implement a monitoring and ticketing system for a centralized solution. We do this everyday with a guaranteed service level agreement. We can also help you manage the whole network more effeciantly and effectively. Glad to have a quick conversation with you to discuss your needs, just let me know.

Best Atomic Clock Available
By LiveOakBob
from Santa Cruz, CA
I have 5 other atomic clocks and this is the best one. I have ordered a second one for my bedroom. It is very well made-a precision product. It checks for accuracy every other hour, 24 hours a day. Starting is a little tricky. Follow the instructions exactly. It goes through a seeking cycle, then it pauses and synchronizes the dial with the internal clock. Wait for it to do so, The clock may seem to be doing nothing. Wait. This clock is very sensitive to the WWV signals. Much more so than my other clocks. If it doesn't work, rotate it 90 degrees and try again. It will not work inside your refrigerator!!

Not much urgency to avoid automatic spending cuts
By JIM KUHNHENN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Ten days before a new deadline for broad, automatic government spending cuts, the sense of urgency that surrounded other recent fiscal crises is absent. Government agencies are preparing to absorb an $85 billion hit to their budgets, and politicians, at least for now, seem willing to accept the consequences.
President Barack Obama, back from a Florida golfing weekend, warned Tuesday that "people will lose their jobs" if Congress doesn't act. But lawmakers weren't in session to hear his appeal, and they aren't coming back to work until next week.
Still dividing the two sides are sharp differences over whether tax increases, which Obama wants and Republicans oppose, should be part of a budget deal.
Obama cautioned that if the immediate spending cuts — known as sequestration — occur, the full range of government will feel the effects. Among those he listed: furloughed FBI agents, reductions in spending for communities to pay police, firefighters and teachers, and decreased ability to respond to threats around the world.
"So far at least, the ideas that the Republicans have proposed ask nothing of the wealthiest Americans or the biggest corporations," Obama said at a White House event against a backdrop of firefighters and other emergency personnel. "So the burden is all on the first responders, or seniors or middle class families."
Aides say Obama is ready to take his case more directly to the public in an effort to pressure Republicans, either by traveling to vulnerable states or, as the White House often does, through local media interviews. They say neither Obama nor White House officials are now engaged in direct negotiations with Republican leaders.
The spending cuts, however, aren't perceived to be as calamitous as the threatened results of recent fights over the nation's borrowing authority and the "fiscal cliff" that would have cut spending and increased tax rates on all Americans paying income taxes. Failure to raise the debt ceiling would have left the government with no money to spend on myriad programs and could have precipitated an unprecedented default. The fiscal cliff had the potential of setting back the economic recovery.
In fact, many Republicans now see the automatic cuts in spending as the only way to tackle the federal deficit. Some liberals won't balk either because they want cuts in Pentagon spending. And many Democrats believe the cuts will have to materialize before Republicans agree to some increase in taxes.
"Some Democrats want it because of the defense cuts, and Republicans want it because they want to do anything to cut domestic spending," said Brendan Daly, a former top aide to Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker and now Democratic leader. "And politically, it's difficult to oppose because the impact won't be so severe right away."
Democratic consultant Jim Manley, a former Senate leadership aide who periodically consults with Obama officials, added: "Not only do I expect the sequester to kick in, but unfortunately it will take a couple of temporary government shutdowns before Republicans realize they need to sit down and negotiate in good faith."
White House officials say they believe Republican House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio will ultimately relent in his opposition to additional taxes. They note that despite his initial stand against increasing tax rates in December, he eventually allowed a House vote to proceed raising the top rate on the wealthiest taxpayers.
Not this time, he said Tuesday: "The American people understand that the revenue debate is now closed."
House Republicans have proposed an alternative to the broad, immediate budget cuts, targeting specific spending and extending some of the reductions over a longer period of time. They also have said they are willing to undertake changes in the tax code and eliminate loopholes and tax subsidies. But they have said they would overhaul the tax system to reduce rates, not to raise revenue.
Boehner said in a statement following Obama's remarks: "Tax reform is a once-in-a generation opportunity to boost job creation in America. It should not be squandered to enable more Washington spending. Spending is the problem, spending must be the focus."
Tuesday's exchanges came as the co-chairs of a bipartisan deficit-reduction commission called for reducing the deficit by $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years, with much of the savings coming through health care changes, the closing of tax loopholes, a stingier adjustment of Social Security's cost-of-living increases and other measures.
The proposal by Republican former Sen. Alan Simpson of Wyoming and Democrat Erskine Bowles, the former chief of staff for President Bill Clinton, calls for about one-quarter of the savings to come from changes in health care programs and another quarter from revenue generated by tax changes.
In their plan, Bowles and Simpson say the automatic cuts scheduled for March 1 are too steep and could set back the economy.
"Sharp austerity could have the opposite effect by tempering the still-fragile economic recovery. In order to protect the recovery, the sequester should be avoided and deficit reduction should be phased in gradually," they wrote.
Obama has proposed about $1.5 trillion in long-term deficit reduction with savings from changes in health care programs, lower cost-of-living adjustments in Social Security and other government benefits, spending cuts and increases in revenue by overhauling the tax system
The White House says any elimination of corporate subsidies or tax breaks would be used to lower rates for corporations to 28 percent and to 25 percent for manufacturers, not to raise revenue.
Under Obama's plan, additional revenue of about $600 billion over 10 years would mostly come from reducing the value of itemized deductions and other tax preferences to 28 percent for families with incomes over $250,000.
Even as Obama and Republicans battle over the automatic cuts, Congress is also struggling over how to fund the government through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year. Every federal agency has been running on autopilot at essentially last year's funding level since October.
The Pentagon, for instance, has been denied long-sought increases for training and readiness, especially for the Navy and Marine Corps. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky., favors attaching a half-trillion-plus Pentagon funding bill and another measure funding veterans' programs to a spending bill that would pay for government operations for the final six months of the budget year.
Senate Democrats appear cool to the idea of permitting only defense-related spending measures to advance.

BAGHDAD, Dec. 4 -- Insurgents plowed a car bomb into a bus carrying Kurdish militiamen in northern Iraq on Saturday, while Sunni and Shiite militias fought a pitched battle south of Baghdad. The day's violence, which killed dozens, underscored the rise in ethnic and sectarian tensions as Iraq heads toward nationwide elections in January.
Across the country, other insurgent attacks claimed the lives of U.S. soldiers and allied Iraqi forces. Two American GIs were killed in roadside bombings in the capital and near the central Iraqi city of Baqubah, and two U.S. soldiers were killed and four wounded when their patrol came under attack in Mosul.
Two other U.S. soldiers died in a suicide bombing of their post near the Jordanian border Friday, the military said.
In Baghdad, insurgents detonated two car bombs simultaneously at an Iraqi police station near the fortified headquarters of the U.S. Embassy and the interim Iraqi government, killing at least three Iraqi policemen and wounding dozens of others.
The attacks illustrated both the geographical reach and diverse goals of the country's tenacious insurgency. For more than a year, guerrillas have targeted U.S. troops and Iraqi security forces, while other attacks have seemed aimed at exacerbating ethnic and sectarian strife in order to undermine the U.S.-led occupation.
Both the U.S. military and the insurgents see the upcoming elections, scheduled for Jan. 30, as a turning point. The Americans hope the elections will create a government with a measure of legitimacy and hasten a withdrawal of U.S. troops, whose numbers are set to grow from 138,000 to 150,000 by mid-January. The guerrillas aim to disrupt the vote, whose success would probably be seen as a victory for the U.S. project in Iraq.
Speaking to reporters in Bahrain, Army Gen. John P. Abizaid, the U.S. commander for the Middle East, acknowledged that Iraqi security forces were not up to the task of providing security during the elections.
"It had been our hope that we would be able to have a combination of increases that mainly were Iraqi troops' increases," Abizaid said. "And while the Iraqi troops are larger in number than they used to be, those forces have to be seasoned more, trained more. So, it's necessary to bring more American forces."
In one of the bloodiest attacks Saturday, a driver smashed a car packed with explosives into a Toyota minibus carrying Kurdish militiamen into Mosul, Iraq's third-largest city and home to a mixed Kurdish and Sunni Arab population. Hospital officials said at least 18 Kurds on the bus were killed in the 4 p.m. bombing.
Since November, fighting has surged in Mosul, a picturesque city along the Tigris River. Last month, insurgents overran police stations and attacked Kurdish party offices. Almost all of Mosul's 5,000-man police force fled, and Kurds have accounted for a substantial portion of the federal troops brought in to restore order.
In fighting Friday, insurgents again attacked four police stations before they were driven off, the military said. Elsewhere in the city, a force of perhaps 70 guerrillas ambushed a U.S. military patrol with roadside bombs, rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire. U.S. and Iraqi forces launched a counterattack, the military said, killing more than two dozen fighters.
Fighting also erupted Saturday in Latifiyah, a town 25 miles south of Baghdad where insurgent activity has increased. The clashes came in two rounds, one of which appeared to be the most openly sectarian fighting since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.
The first clash pitted a newly formed Shiite Muslim militia against a group of Sunni Muslim extremists, who had been accused of killing Shiites on the road to the holy cities of Karbala and Najaf.
Each group brought rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles to the fight, which began after 9 a.m. When the smoke cleared, the Sunni group claimed to have killed 16 members of the attacking Brigades of Fury, the Shiite militia formed in the southern city of Basra last month to avenge the deaths of Shiites on the pilgrimage route, which runs through Latifiyah.

I want to put an edible image on the top with text and perhaps an image. I think the edible image will be printed on rice paper and have worked with these before but think I may not be able to peel it off the backing without breaking it. I do have some rice paper and wondered if I gave it to the lady could she just print on that. Has anyone any tips on doing this cake. Thanks
sorry I ahve no idea but it's a really good question I'm interested in the answers too....so heres another bump.........

Checked in accessories for volume control, did the CMD, did the services and everywhere I look it says No Audio Device.
Checked the web for answers too, it all directs me to check volume or speakers.
Any ideas?

Keep IT Simple Technology Group is an IT service provider.
Check device manager - Can you confirm that your audio device is listed with no errors?
Jul 21, 2010 at 7:56 UTC
What OS are you using?
...for most flavors of Windows, typically you would look in Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio (tab) and then check to make sure that the device you want to use is set as default and that Windows will use default devices.
Jul 21, 2010 at 8:25 UTC
windows XP OS
found MS/OS Sound.Drv
WOW Sound ver: 3.10
how do I confirm it has no errors?
Jul 21, 2010 at 10:26 UTC
Uninstall and reinstall the device drivers.
Jul 21, 2010 at 11:26 UTC
delete the audio device from device manager then restart the computer, it should find it again. if it's a desktop you should be able to find the driver at the sound card or MOBO mfgs website, if it is a laptop i would go to the laptop mfgs website and enter your model to find out what sound driver you need.
Jul 21, 2010 at 1:50 UTC
Agreed. I've had a couple PCs do this - XP and 7. I think an update jacks with the audio device. Download the latest audio drivers for your device, reboot, and let us know what happens.

Llama Fondant Topper Tutorial?
Decorating By mmhassa2 Updated 24 Oct 2015 , 2:04pm by Jinkies
I've looked and looked and dont seem find any tutorials....would like something like any of the ones below. Maybe ideas on how the body effect (fur?) is achieved would alteast help.
Thanks :)
Anyone? :)
You can snip the fondant with a small pair of scissors. Look up some tree tutorials and they will show you how.
Or, Laura from Krazy Kool Cakes has a tutorial on her youtube channel on how to make and elmo topper. She used a certain piping tip to make the fur. You can try that as well.
Hth :)
Thanks @jinkies! Ended up using the Elmo body way! She turned out quite cute!
Wow, came out adorable! Great job!!

Kelly Clarkson Rides Taylor Swift's "White Horse"; Let the Unfair Comparisons Begin!
American Idol fave Kelly Clarkson clearly enjoys performing other artists' music, and she obviously has an affinity for Taylor Swift.
So we can only ask: Why did it take so long for Clarkson to bring her own interpretation to one of Swift's tunes?
Behold, K-Clark's cover of T-Swift's "White Horse," from Tay-Tay's runaway smash album Fearless:
For the sake of comparison, here's the original version of the tune:
Both fine renditions, but who rode that "White Horse" better? We're not here to judge—that's your job! Hit us up in the comments section and share your thoughts: Does Clarkson or Swift do the song better justice?
(PS: For more Clarkson tuneage from this session—including a rousing cover of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"—head on over to Idolator.)

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!
I have received a threatening email from someone who I don't know at all but it seems that he has too much information about me . What shall I do ?
Call the police and make a report.
***Please be sure to mark if you find the answer "helpful" or a "best" answer. Thank you! I hope this helps. ******Ask a similar question
You can do a couple of things to protect yourself. First, save and print out the threatening e-mail and report it to the police. Secondly, you can block that person from sending you e-mails through your e-mail service. You can do that as well to prevent future unwanted e-mails from coming through.
Good luck!

Threats are subjective. Only you know if this is something to worry about. If you are concerned you should hire a professional to look into it as the police surely will not do much for you.

by LivingForEternityWe had two children nineteen months apart. We wanted a larger family than just two. At that time we had never heard of patriarchy. We just loved kids, and we loved making them. However, after that I did not have any more. Of course I was disappointed, but we were alright with that at the time. As they approached school age I began to fret. I loved being with my kids and I did not want to send them away. I had met a family one time that educated their children at home.

Family Man, Family Leader: Created to be His Help Meet – Help I've Created a Monster. Part 1
by LivingForEternityMy husband and I met at work. We were both recovering from failed marriages, and were friends for a long time before we started dating. After having a failed marriage we were both determined not to let another one fail.We had two kids within nineteen months. That was fine as we wanted several children. He worked a lot of hours so I was a very capable manager of our home. I could feed babies and fix water leaks. I did not find it necessary to ask him about every single thing I did. If something needed fixing or doing I took care of it if he wasn't able to. We were partners. However, as the children began to approach school age I began to question whether I wanted them t … [Read more...]
When Promises Become Dreams: Doing Marriage God's Way
by AfricaTurtleThe title of Sierra's Post "When Dreams Become Promises" stirred thoughts in me of another Dream, of other Promises that have brought their own dose of pain and disappointment and reality into my life: Dreams of an enduring, godly marriage and the Promises I made to God and myself in order to lay hold of that dream.I made my first promise at the age of 14. "I promise to never date a non-christian". It was the call to action given by a speaker at the summer church camp I attended that year. I knew it was right, I knew it was what God expected of me. How can "light fellowship with darkness"? Why would I build a life with someone I couldn't hope to spend eternity in heaven w … [Read more...]
Daughter of the Patriarchy: When Dreams Become Promises
by SierraAs followers of God's final prophet and members of the elect Bride of Christ, we made a lot of promises in God's name. We promised safety to a world we presumed was in its death throes, ready to face tribulation, destruction and ultimate renewal. We promised healing, hope and happiness to those who accepted God's provided way of escape. We promised individuals that their broken families would be restored, that their financial problems would vanish when they tithed, that God's will would give them purpose and the strength to deal with the wearying parade of everyday troubles. We promised Alissa that God would heal her daughter.Alissa was a single mother of two young boys. She wor … [Read more...]
Daughter of the Patriarchy: The Shift
by Sierra Clear morning light filtered in the empty door of the bakery. I was alone behind the storefront, a wall of bagel baskets hanging like a curtain between me and the rest of the world. My mother busied herself in the front of the store, wiping counters and making coffee as I methodically drew and cut the clear plastic wrap in its long rolls. I wrapped another sponge cake, applied the golden bakery label, and set the finished product on a tray to be stored and sold for the Jewish holidays. It was normally one of the busiest weeks in the store: the owner was Jewish and had many connections with the synagogues in northern New Jersey. We were a hotspot for holiday feasts.The … [Read more...]
Steadfast Daughters in a Quivering World ~ Part 6: Soul-Binding
[Note: this series is dedicated to Quivering Daughtersby the former-Quiverfull moms at No Longer Quivering.]by DaisyMy name is Daisy.I am a good person...but I was a bad parent.Tragically, by choosing QF/patriarchal fundamentalist methodology as the pattern for my home, believing that it would provide the very best insurance against messing up with parenthood, I messed up. I messed up badly. I hurt my kids and, worse, I silenced them when they tried to tell me about it. Criticizing your parents is, of course, disrespectful and therefore opening a dangerous door that may lead a child ultimately to rebelling against God - and as I believed that put my child in danger of hellfire, of … [Read more...]

[Note: this series is dedicated to Quivering Daughters by the former-Quiverfull moms at No Longer Quivering.] by DaisyI was only 19 when I arrived at Christianity's door, bruised and highly impressionable and, because of my family situation, determined to do a better job of sorting out my life than my parents had done. Victims of abuse in their own homes, my parents had learned very early to dissociate from their emotions. Our home was an emotionally sterile one and, although I know now that this is not true, as as child I believed my parents did not love me.

The trouble with making definitions central to the discussion is this: there's no way to do it without being condescending, petty and dismissive of Quivering Daughters who are reporting their highly personal, and necessarily highly subjective experiences of emotional and spiritual abuse.There is no objective way of defining and quantifying "abuse" ~ no way.

Compressive viscoelastic properties of softwood kraft lignin-based flexible polyurethane foams

Softwood kraft lignin (SKL)-based water-blown flexible polyurethane foams were prepared using SKL as a crosslinking agent and a hard segment polyol. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a soft segment diol and 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI) were used. While increasing hard segment content caused the increase in crosslink density in foams, the foams became more and more viscous with increasing hard segment content due to the distinctive phase heterogeneity in foams. In this case, the contributiveness of the filler-like behaviors of separated hard segments always overtook the crosslinking effects derived from SKL in terms of overall viscoelasticity, thus the resultant viscometric properties such as tanδmax and hysteresis loss increased as hard segment content increased. Furthermore, increasing Mn,PEG caused the severer microphase separation and intensified the filler effects in foams, thus the foams became more viscous with increasing Mn,PEG. The 25 % and 65 % CFD values and Young's moduli of foams increased with increasing hard segment content due to the increase in crosslink density for foams, and the properties also increased with increasing foam density. Most of foams showed the support factors in the range of 2–3, which are suitable values for cushioning use. Even though the microscopic deformation behaviors in foams are irrelevant to foam density, the cyclic compressive tests showed that the higher foam density possess the better shape recovery performances.

"No decision has been made yet and I do not think I will have a decision soon. But I will say that Florida has made a big move with me all of a sudden. They say I can come in as a partial qualifier if I do not qualify. They will take one and they want me to be that guy. They called my coach and told him. That kind of got me excited about the Gators. I have always liked them but I didn't know if I could get in school. Right now, academics are a close call. I am doing all the extra things to get qualified."
If this is true, this is a change of policy at Florida, as they have not taken any partial qualifiers in recent years.
Everett has emerged as one of the very best prospects from Florida. He plays for Bushnell (Fla.) South Sumter High School at linebacker, strong safety, quarterback, running back, and receiver. Most schools want Everett as a linebacker but many people do not realize that he is a super running back prospect with great speed to go along with that size. Everett is a legit 6-3 and 210 pounds.
"LSU is recruiting me as a running back and everyone else likes me as a linebacker. To be honest with you, I would rather play running back. Right now, I am open between Miami, Florida, FSU, Georgia, LSU and South Florida. For now, I just want to worry about getting good grades and winning a state championship.

|Picturehouse presents in association with GreeneStreet Films and River Road Entertainment a Sandcastle 5 and Prairie Home production ; produced by David Levy, Tony Judge, Joshua Astrachan, Wren Arthur, Robert Altman ; story by Garrison Keillor & Ken LaZebnik ; screenplay by Garrison Keillor ; directed by Robert Altman.
As if the result of some strange mass-media fluke, the popular radio program "A Prairie Home Companion" somehow managed to survive the television age to entertain its audience every Saturday night from the stage of the historic Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minn. Week after week, hangdog host G.K. serves as unflappable emcee to an amiable hodgepodge of radio-friendly acts that include the likes of popular country duo Yolanda and Rhonda Johnson and singing cowboys the Old Trailhands. This is one show where the under-the-line antics are nearly as entertaining as the program itself. The efforts of down-on-his-luck private dick and backstage doorkeeper Guy Noir discovers the true identity of a mysterious blonde and helps aspiring teen singer Lola to find her true voice before a live audience. There is still plenty of fun and mystery to be had at the old Fitzgerald before the final curtain falls.

Morning Consult
Sept. 30, 2016
By Wayne Allard and Nan Swift
This November, the election is not the only political decision that will affect American consumers in a big way. It also is when the Environmental Protection Agency is scheduled to announce how much ethanol must be blended into the 2017 fuel supply for our country to satisfy the federal Renewable Fuel Standard requirements.
Like the 2016 mandates, next year's ethanol volumes are likely to breach the "blend wall" — the maximum quantity of ethanol that can be sold each year given infrastructure realities while still ensuring the safety of fuel-powered engines. Today, the blend wall stands at roughly 10 percent of America's fuel supply, and E10 fuel (containing 10 percent ethanol by volume) is what's most commonly sold.
But recently, the Renewable Fuels Association has taken to calling the blend wall a lie, saying it only exists because the oil industry won't invest in infrastructure that would enable the sale of higher ethanol blends.
Never mind that fueling equipment is paid for by individual fuel retailers who simply aren't seeing enough demand for E15 to warrant the infrastructure overhaul. In fact, absent market demand, much of the E15-compatible infrastructure being installed today is done on the taxpayers' dime through U.S. Department of Agriculture grants that are matched by grants from Corn Belt state governments and private entities, including corn grower associations.
When taxpayers are bilked to finance infrastructure, or where states have biofuel mandates of their own, the volume of ethanol blended into fuel sold in those states can exceed 10 percent.

Money and politics function like pasta and olive oil: They cling to each other. The making of money today is accompanied by elaborate lobbying efforts to get special provisions into the tax code, or special regulatory standing, or some governmental special treatment. And campaigns can't run if you can't pay the staff, can't run the ads, can't send out the mailings.
Candidates for political office spend hours upon hours "dialing for dollars." The candidate sits in a room, calling people on the phone and asking for donations. Sitting opposite the candidate is a staffer who feeds them the name, number and personal information about the person they are calling. As they wind down one call, the staffer begins dialing the next number. This is all opaque to the public: You never, ever let the press see the candidate dialing for dollars. It would appear so humiliating. This has given rise to a number of self-funding candidates, super-rich people who wish to share their capacity for "success" with the public.
In Florida, according to an article in Politico.com, two self-financing candidates are lagging in the polls in a state that puts a premium on fundraising. GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott and Democratic Senate hopeful Jeff Greene have spent a combined $60 million on their campaigns, yet both appear headed for defeat. The Politico article notes that in Florida, with its 10 media markets, it takes a ton of money to run television ads statewide.
Looking forward to the November midterms, it is important to remember what money can and can't achieve in the political arena. Money can be used to run ads that increase name recognition. Money can't be used to motivate primary voters. Money can be used to run negative ads and mailings that paint your opponent in an unfavorable light. Money can't build a grass roots Get-Out-the-Vote effort. Money can get you the edgiest, niftiest consultants pollsters, but money can't impart an understanding of a given district to those consultants. Given the choice of having money or not having money, every campaign in America would rather have it. And, it is undoubtedly the case that without a certain amount of money, an effective campaign cannot be run. But, money can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.
This year, money is an especially awkward burden. Not everyone faces the acute difficulty faced by Mr. Greene in Florida. He had the good fortune to make tons of money by betting that the housing market would collapse. But in a state with huge numbers of foreclosures, plummeting home values, tens of thousands of "under water" mortgages, his good fortune is bad political fortune. But, Gov. John Corzine of New Jersey is now ex-Governor Corzine. Mayor Bloomburg faced a surprisingly close race last election. People are suspicious of those who are wealthy when times are tough. When times are good, the suspicions lessen as people again dream of becoming rich like Corzine and Bloomburg.
A well-financed newcomer is also, still, a newcomer, likely to make the kinds of rookie mistakes that can be forgiven in the real world but in the political world, with YouTube ready to trumpet any mistakes, can be punishing. Furthermore, I suspect that there is a psychological dynamic, an "I am the King of the World" disposition that one finds commonly among the rich. Whether they be smart or hard-working, they think they are destiny's child. "I made it in business," you can hear them say, "politics should be a breeze." This often creates a sense of entitlement, an "I know best" attitude, that is not conducive to winning an election because people want to be asked for their vote, and they want to feel that a candidate can relate to their problems, and most importantly, voters value competence, they really do want someone who knows what they are talking about, someone who knows the issues, especially when they are electing their representatives to Congress.
The only thing about the Politico story that I found naïve was the inability to recognize the diminishing value of TV advertising. Find me a man who owns a television and I shall show you a man who owns a clicker. Do you watch TV ads anymore? What percentage of people in Florida have Tivo, another means of avoiding ads. The campaign media consultants do not want to tell the candidates this, but their art is a dying one or, better to say, a transforming art, searching out new ways of using new media to affect election results.
It remains to be seen if money will be the best way to exploit the new technologies. Turns out that Facebook is free and it costs nothing, or next to nothing, to send a text message reminding someone to vote, but only if you have their cell phone number. That takes old-style neighborhood politics, real grass roots politics, building a campaign organization from the ground up, one friend or acquaintance at a time. I suspect that a number of states went for Obama in 2008 simply on the strength of the youth vote and the text messages that reminded them to go to the polls. Robocalls – those obnoxious phone calls to your home phone – reminding you to vote and for whom, always came too late on election day. Once you are home from the office, you aren't heading out again. You need to be reminded on the way home. That is the beauty of text messaging. I suspect there will be a few surprise victories for candidates of both parties attributable solely to their ability to use these new technologies effectively. The consultants don't want to tell the candidates, because they have not figured out how to take their cut off of a free network. And, building a real grass roots organization takes time, even years, and America's super-rich candidates do not strike one as paragons of patience.
I am glad that money may become less important to campaigns, that social media, and blogs and text messaging and other free forms of communication are replacing the television ad. Anything that checks the power of the moneyed interests in a democracy is a good thing.

Inacio: I wish I could have stayed longer at Zamalek
In a press conference on Thursday, now former Zamalek manager Inacio said...
Former USA and Egypt manager Bob Bradley has been announced as the manager of Ligue 2 side Le Havre.
The 57-year-old American has joined the French side after spending two years with Norwegian side Stabaek, ending last season in third place of Tippeligaen, the country's top division. The finish secured his side's qualification to the Europa League, and he was named manager of the season in Norway.

— KingFut.com (@King_Fut) November 8, 2015
"Becoming head coach of the HAC, France's oldest football club, is a new challenge in my career," Bob Bradley told Le Havre's official website.
Bob Bradley had a previous managing spell with the Egyptian national team but was sacked from the job after Egypt's elimination from qualifying to the 2014 World Cup, following a 3-7 loss on aggregate to Ghana in the final round.
The French side, which are considered the oldest football club in France, were bought last summer by American executive Vincent Volpe, the president of an oil and energy company, who is expected to be behind this appointment.
The club are currently ranked 4th in the Ligue 2 table with 23 points after 14 rounds, just 4 points away from league leaders Metz.

Oops Reds Case
Your Oops Reds Case includes two bottles each of
Albarrada Red
Albarrada is a new and exclusive winery that showcases local Portuguese grapes. This excellent red wine (or vinho tinto, in Portuguese) features Castelão grapes, which thrive on Portugal's drier, harsher climate. The resulting wine is aromatic and fruit-forward with notes of red berries and mild floral notes. We suggest Albarrada Red for fans of Tempranillo and Barbera, especially if you pair it with French charcuterie or Korean short ribs.
Cuvèe Joëlle Malbec et Merlot
Among the many noteworthy French grapes, two have become especially treasured for their stunning wines. Malbec has a dark, rustic nature, while Merlot features a soft, fruit forward, and herbaceous character. When blended, they craft a unique flavor. Cuvèe Joëlle fuses red plum, raspberry, blackberry, vanilla, and fresh herbs. This exciting red blend is meant to be paired with fun dishes like bacon-wrapped blue cheese stuffed dates, pungent cheeses, and bacon blue cheese burgers.

Sierra Trails Old Vine Zinfandel
Coming to us from some of the oldest Zinfandel plantings in California, Sierra Trails Old Vine Zinfandel is a complex red with aromas of ripe berry, dried plum, and red currants. The flavor hints at tobacco, black pepper, and sweet oak, which carries the fruits through a lingering finish.
