Jim Farley to lead Ford of Europe

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
- Chris Bruce
- Jul 23, 2014
Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
- Chris Bruce
- Jun 30, 2014
Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data
- Seyth Miersma
- Feb 14, 2014
Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
AAA Urges Better Protection For Drivers' Privacy Rights
- Pete Bigelow
- Jan 16, 2014
One week after a government report detailed how car companies keep data on the whereabouts of millions of drivers, one of the nation's leading motor clubs is urging car companies to better protect consumer privacy.
Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS
- Seyth Miersma
- Jan 10, 2014
Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it," according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Ford says utility vehicles are key to global growth
- Michael Harley
- Nov 26, 2013
While most of us believe that small, fuel efficient cars are the key to global expansion for US automakers, Jim Farley, Ford's vice president of Global Marketing, thinks otherwise. Last week, we attended an exclusive sneak preview of the Ford Edge Concept in advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and Farley told us that it's actually utility vehicles that will help the Blue Oval gain market share overseas. "There is no other segment in our industry that is growing like utilities," he said. "We ex

"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
Farley says Lincoln learnings in China could influence brand in US
- Zach Bowman
- May 14, 2013
Automotive News reports Lincoln is looking to Chinese luxury shoppers for customer service ideas. Those notions may eventually make their way back to the US in the form of new dealership training. Jim Farley, the executive vice president of global marketing for Ford, tells Automotive News, "In many ways, China will be a listening post for Lincoln in the United States. Soon China will be the largest luxury market in the world." Farley also said that in China, the Lincoln brand is currently where
Ford's Jim Farley hints at Lincoln sales rebound
- Jonathon Ramsey
- Apr 25, 2013
If you're a fan of Lincoln, get ready for "a really great story" come May 1. That's how Ford marketing boss Jim Farley, in a call with analysts, characterized the coming April sales report for the MKZ. At the moment, there are probably few things that the executive VP could want more than a happy ending for the ballyhooed sedan that has made people cry boo-hoo for the past six months.

Ford offering app developers $50k reward for achieving better fuel economy

Ford may be the first to open up both its hardware and software platforms to outsiders.
Lincoln to adopt Mini-like personalization strategy?
- Jeremy Korzeniewski
- Jan 18, 2013
There's no single silver bullet that will cure all that ails the Lincoln brand, and Ford knows that just as surely as we do. Coming out with exciting new models like the well-received MKC crossover counts as several steps in the right direction, assuming of course that the production version is as appealing as the concept just shown at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, but more is needed. According to Jim Farley, executive vice president of Lincoln, one more trick may be "mass customization."
Ford sales boss Farley studies video game industry, refines prelaunch marketing efforts
- John Neff
- Oct 17, 2012
Throughout these tough economic times, automakers have looked all over for new marketing ideas to get their products noticed.

Ford's Farley addresses 'the burden of being Lincoln'
- Jonathon Ramsey
- Sep 11, 2012
For at least two years, the plot lines concerning Lincoln have been "How much longer until Ford kills it?" and then "How much longer until Ford turns it around?" We were told that the 2013 MKZ would begin the resurrection of a brand that many felt nostalgia for, but not love (not unlike Cadillac of not so long ago). But Lincoln knows it can't get back in the good books with just one new model; Ford's global marketing chief, Jim Farley, clued Automotive News into the lengths Lincoln will go to ge
Blue Oval's Farley vows to fix MyFord Touch
- Jeff Sabatini
- Aug 27, 2012
MyFord Touch is an enigma – not just because the infotainment system itself is difficult to understand and use, but because Ford just can't seem to figure out what to do about it. Ford's marketing chief Jim Farley tells Automotive News that despite ongoing criticism of MyFord Touch, even after a 2013 model year update, it "won't change our commitment to being a leader in infotainment. We want to be the best at it even if it means we have to improve the usability forever."
Scion xB, xD models getting the axe
- Chris Paukert
- Apr 23, 2012
Scion has long been labeled as a "youth brand," so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised to read word of parent Toyota turning over the marque's aging nameplates so quickly. According to Ward's Auto, Scion is set to kill off its xB and xD models – the first a onetime icon for the brand, the latter an econobox that never truly caught on with buyers (not unlike it's predecessor, the xA).
Fusion couldn't outsell Toyota Camry even if Ford wanted it to, which it apparently doesn't
- Dan Roth
- Jan 26, 2012
"I don't think we're very enamored with being Number One just to be Number One," Ford Global Marketing Vice President Jim Farley says of his expectations for the 2013 Ford Fusion. Interest in the Fusion spiked after the 2013 model's premium-look sheetmetal made a splash at this month's Detroit Auto Show, so it's natural to expect that Ford wants to grab the sales volume brass ring. After all, the Ford Taurus was the best-selling car in the U.S. for nearly half of the 1990s, but Farley points out
List of Mulally successors narrowed down to four

How do you replace the man credited by Time Magazine with managing "the biggest business turnaround of the Great Recession?" That's a very good question, and one that the Ford board of directors is grappling with as company CEO Alan Mulally edges closer to retirement age.

Cholesterol By: Gage Ward
1) What are LDL and HDL? -LDL: (Low Density Lipoprotein) Is called bad cholesterol because having too much can lead to plaque buildups which lead to heart attack and stroke -HDL: (High Density Lipoprotein) Is called good cholesterol because it acts as a sort of garbage truck, carrying LDL to the liver so it can be disposed of. Having a lot of HDL is a good thing because it reduces risk of plaque build up, and in turn, heart attack and stroke.
2) How do LDL and LDH differ, functionally and structurally? -LDL: Clogs arteries, and leads to plaque buildups witch leads to heart attack, stroke. Looks like small, thick, hard deposits. -HDL: Carries LDL to the liver for disposal. Looks like large flexible deposits.
3) Why do doctors monitor levels of LDL and HDL in patients blood? -Because if a patient has high LDL, then they are at risk for other complications. If a patient has high HDL, then they are less at risk for complications.
4) How are the concentrations of LDL and HDL associated with the risk of heart disease and other associated risks? -LDL raises your risks, HDL lowers those risks.
5) What other molecules are monitored in a cholesterol test other than LDL and HDL? -The body's triglycerides are also monitored.
6) What do the results of a cholesterol test mean? How do patients interpret each value? -The results of a cholesterol test tell the doctors and patients their cholesterol, and if they need to make changes to their diet, take medications, or just stay the same.
7) What can patients do to change the levels of LDL and HDL in their blood? -You can change your diet, and exercise habits, or you can take medications to control your cholesterol.
8) How does intake of unsaturated, saturated, and trans fats affect cholesterol levels and overall health? -The Good: Unsaturated fats improve blood cholesterol, ease inflammation, and stabilize heart rhythms.
-The Bad: Saturated fats lower good cholesterol, raises triglycerides, and causes insulin resistance.
-The Ugly: Trans fats raise LDL, lower HDL, and fuel inflammations.
LDL and HDL: "Bad" and "Good" Cholesterol

At Elder Studios we use the Scrum methodology to deliver systems to our customers. Scrum is an agile project management method that can be used in many project environments, but which is probably most widely used in software development.
The principles behind Scrum demonstrate why it is the right methodology for us. These key principles that, taken together, summarise the culture and ethos of the method:
A Scrum project is delivered to our customers in a series of releases, each of one represents an iteration of the process. This flexible development means that we can accommodate changing and evolving requirements from our customers. Moreover, each delivered iteration delivers real business value to the customer.
A key feature of Scrum is that work is divided into short "Sprints", and the work to be done in the next Sprint is selected from what should be done, not on what could be done. The implication of this is that the work that achieves the greatest business benefit for our customers is done first, meaning that customers should see benefit from the project quickly.
In Scrum, Time is a limiting factor, as opposed to other resources such as cost or scope. Strict time-boxing gives the project rhythm and a sense of continuous progress. We deliver on-time.
Control of the project is based on observation rather than on detailed up-front planning. In other words, we get on with the work without spending vast amounts of time on detailed planning. The best plan will emerge during the project. The emphasis is therefore on
controlas opposed to detailed planning. This clearly promotes flexibility, and provides us with the ability to react to changing requirements.
Scrum views any project as a shared development, with all stakeholders (the Scrum Team, customers, other vendors) working together to achieve the project goals. This fits completely with the way we want to work with our customers.
We believe we have some of the best developers around, so we trust them to organise the best way to deliver. Working with a certfied "Scrum Master", each Scrum Team organises itself to complete the required deliverables during the Sprint. Moreover, individual Team Members are permitted to manage their own time and work. The closest role to a traditional "Project Manager" — the Scrum Master — has an enabling role, ensuring the best possible project environment for the team.
We have more on Scrum at our local guide; Just Enough … Scrum.

Juicy, peppery beef burgers are stuffed with Pecorino Romano cheese and topped with earthy, rustic ketchup.
I am 38 years old, and a Wildlife Biologist at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine. In July, I earned my PhD, and continue to work on new ways to control raccoon rabies.
My grandma Erna has been preserving what she calls Pin Money Pickles for years. Now that the torch has been passed to me, I have created this burger to showcase what is truly a family favorite.
As a fire station cook I am constantly looking for something different for the guys to sink their teeth into that they truly like.
My dad was a black pepper FIEND, and this deep and abiding love was definitely passed on my way.
I created this recipe for the "Honey's" in my life, my wife of 49 years, 2 daughters, and 3 granddaughters, basically because I didn't have enough hamburger meat for all of them, I improvised.
My Blazin Bacon Burger with Roasted Ranchero Poblano Aioli is a perfect local burger since the Northwest has a large Hispanic population.
If you want to truly get to the heart of what makes a great American beef burger, you don't have to look any farther than the great state of Nebraska: a beef loving state if there ever was one.
Las Vegas is all about glitz, glamour, gambling and food. We have haute cuisine on one corner and a sports book hot dog stand on another. This burger is the best of both worlds.
I guess you can call me a locavore as I tried to build this better burger around what local farmers sell at the outdoor market.
Ohio farmers are proud of the meat, eggs, vegetables fruits and dairy products they produce. To honor their talent and dedication the Ohio Proud Buckeye Burger was created.
This burger contains all-American ingredients that local cooks are cooking with.
Burgers are a Texas favorite. And Texans love to grill. This burger adds delicious Blue cheese to the mix for a appetite pleasing meal!
Texan's love to brag that "Everything Is Bigger In Texas."
Washington and Oregon have a different rodeo event happening almost every weekend in the summer the biggest and best known being the Pendelton Roundup.
These burgers are great local American burgers because they were inspired by a memorable meal my husband and I shared at a local, classic American chophouse - outstanding peppercorn-crusted beef co

The insanity never ends. The left belongs in an insane asylum. These people are nothing but a bunch of totalitarian freak shows. And it isn't just in California..America has a leftist problem.
Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face" — Thomas Sowell
From Louder With Crowder
Californians have always been a little crazy, but now they've completely lost their minds. Climate skepticism could soon become a major no bueno in the Golden State.
A landmark California bill gaining steam would make it illegal to engage in climate-change dissent, clearing the way for lawsuits against fossil-fuel companies, think-tanks and others that have "deceived or misled the public on the risks of climate change."…
The measure would allow state and local prosecutors to pursue claims against climate-change skepticism as a violation of the state's Unfair Competition Law [UCL], as well as extend the four-year statute of limitations for such claims retroactively to Jan. 1, 2021.
It doesn't come as much surprise though. Lefties will do whatever they're told by their washed up 90s kiddie show host demigod (Read: Fascist Non-Scientist Bill Nye Wants to Jail Climate Skeptic REAL Scientists). Read More

Josh began work and we were completely comfortable being nude together. The more we were together the more comfortable we became. It was common for one or the other of us to be sporting a boner for no particular obvious reason.
After about a week, one night while laying on a blanket on the beach just at dusk, Josh casually reached down and began fondling his cock. Once it was fully hard, he slowly began stroking it.
My cock got hard and I looked over and asked, "Mind if I join you?"
Smiling over at me, he said, "I was wondering what your reaction would be. Feel free to join me. Every guy needs release and any guy that says he doesn't jerk off at times is a fucking liar."
"You got that shit right. I do it frequently," I replied.
"So do I, and I hope I wasn't too forward by starting it."
"Josh, I hope you feel as comfortable with me as i do with you. Feel free to do whatever you want whenever you want. I'll do the same."
"I do," he answered, "and you got a deal. I'll race you to see who gets off first. Looser does the dishes tonight."
"You're on."
We both began stroking wildly and I climaxed about two seconds before Josh.
After watching each others loads fire out onto the sand, Josh laughed and said "Man, that was fucking huge. How long you been holding back?"
"Since Friday night in the shower," I replied.
"Damn!" he exclaimed.
That's the way things went, although I was hoping things would go farther. In the house, we'd sometimes run into each other and when our bodies met our eyes locked together. Our heads seemed to move toward each other as if to kiss, when Josh would suddenly turn away. It was as if he wanted to kiss me but suddenly had second thoughts.
All during the repairs to the exterior, that's how things went. We'd take walks on the beach, sometimes putting his arm over my shoulder, or we'd jerk off on the porch or beach in the evenings.
He finished the exterior then began remodeling my master bath. That took only two weeks. As the end neared, I was hating to see Josh leave. It had been great having him here.
Then it was over. The remodel was complete. It was a Wednesday and as I wrote out his final payment, I asked if he had another job lined up.
"No, not at this time. I might take some time off and see if I can find a rental out this way that I can afford. Most of my work is in this general area and the drive is a bitch."
"Well, I have a suggestion if your interested."
"What's that?"
"Stay here with me until Monday. Relax and we can do some looking together."
"I'd like that. I'm going to miss being out here."
"Look, even after you leave, you're welcome here every weekend if you want to come out. You have a standing invitation. There is no need to call."
"Fuck, Mark, are you serious? I'd love that."
"Hell yes I'm serious. If you don't come I'll think your pissed at me for some reason."
"I don't think I could ever be pissed at you for any reason. I think too much of you."
"I feel the same way about you."
He stayed and we spent some time looking for a place he could afford. I wanted to ask him to move in with me but unless there might be sex, I didn't know if I could stand it. I might do something to ruin our friendship.
He left Monday morning after giving me a big hug, saying, "See you Friday afternoon some time."
"I'll be waiting. I'll have dinner for us."
As we stood just inside the front door he smiled and winked at me before heading to his truck. I watched as he pulled out of the circular drive. As he turned to the right to pass in front of the house, he suddenly turned back into the other entrance and returned to the front of the house.
Leaving his truck running and the door open, he ran back up to the door and into the room, grabbing me by the shoulders and kissing me passionately.
Breaking the kiss he turned and ran back to his truck and drove away, leaving me stunned and excited at the same time. I tried to call him but he wouldn't answer. I continued to call during the next few days but still no answer. I knew I'd just have to wait and see if he really would return on Friday.
I had steaks ready for the grill Friday afternoon as I waited on the back porch,nude, watching the surf. About half passed five, I was startled when he stepped from the house, still dressed, and asked, "Am I still welcome?"
I jumped up and stepped up to him and quickly took his face in my hands and tongue kissed him for a long minute, before saying, "You better believe you are."
Hold me loosely in his arms he said, "Mark, what I did Monday when I left was something I had been wanting to do the entire time I as here."
"I was wanting it also, but why didn't you do it sooner?"
"I have a policy not to mix business with pleasure. When I left on Monday, you were no longer a customer. The job was complete and paid for."
"First, get out of those clothes and get comfortable. Then,get us a beer out of the fridge while I start the steaks."
After I had put the steaks on the grill, he came up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist then kissed me gently on the lips.
Looking into his eyes, I asked, "Just so I know what to expect, does the kisses mean there is more to come later?"
Smiling, he said, "You better believe it. Lots more."
We ate dinner then went for a swim, but it really wasn't a swim. Standing in waist deep water we kissed and explored each other's body with our hands. After a while, I led him back to the house and as we entered, I asked, "My bedroom?"
"Any where you want," he replied.
We lay in my bed and began kissing again and fondling each other. Moments later,he began kissing and licking his way down my body. First to my chest, then stomach, balls and then to my ass where he began rimming me wildly. After a few more moments, he returned to my balls then after lifting my cock he swallowed it completely.
Slowly and lovingly, he began sucking my cock and he was awesome at it. As I neared my climax, he could tell and began to suck me faster. Seconds later, my cock exploded and as it did, I heard him moan audibly over my gasps of pleasure.
After collecting my load, he smiled and swallowed and said, "I've been wanting to do that since the day I met you." He then kissed me.
After the kiss, I looked at him and said, "Now, it's my turn."
I did the same to him and soon received my reward. His load was huge, thick, creamy, and sweet.
Afterward, as we lay cuddled together, I asked if he had brought a bag. He said yes but he had left it by the front door just in case he wasn't welcome.
"You mean you couldn't tell from the kiss Monday that you would definitely be welcome?"
"I thought I'd probably be welcome."
"And why didn't you answer my calls?"
"If I had, I'd probably have turned around right then and come back, but I had to see about another job."
"I'll forgive you this time," I told him then asked how long he'd been gay.
"I found out I liked men at sixteen," he said.
"How did it happen, if you don't mind me asking?"
"I don't mind at all. I had been to a basketball game at school. My buds that I rode there with met up with some other guys that had some weed and went off with them to get high. I was walking home and it started raining. This guy in his thirties stopped and offered me a ride. He drove slow and as he did, he began to feel my leg. I had never done anything before and found it exciting. I admit that i was curious to see what a blow job felt like. The rain got harder and he suggested we stop at his motel until it let up. I said okay. We got inside his room and he suggested I get my wet shirt and jeans off and let them dry. I did and he began saying how nice I was built and rubbing my chest then back and ass. I got boned and he grabbed it and said that he'd like to take care of it for me. I was nervous and scared but I said okay. He had me strip and he stripped and we got in bed and he sucked me off and ate my ass. When he kissed me I could taste my own cum in his mouth. I decided to try it since he was from out of town and didn't know me. I sucked him off and swallowed and found I liked it. Been at it ever since, although I dated and fucked pussy in high school to hide it. How about you?"
"Well, this house was built by my grandfather and when he died he left it to me. I'd spend my summers here with he and my grandmother. When I was fifteen I began jerking with a bud of mine back home. Sometimes we'd jerk each other. I became curious about doing more but was afraid to suggest it to him. That summer, I was visiting here and walked down the beach a short distance and stripped down and began jerking between some dunes. While I was going at it, a guy on vacation walked up and saw me. He asked me straight out if he could suck it. I said yes. He did and I loved it. We'd meet every day and he'd suck me. Abut a week later I asked if I could do him. I sucked him off and enjoyed it. He was renting a place down the beach so I started going to his place. I lost my virginity to him one afternoon when he fucked my ass. We spent the entire summer having sex almost daily."
"Damn. I didn't get fucked until I was eighteen," he said.
We got up and went to the kitchen and got a beer and went out onto the porch. As we listened to the surf, he said, "Mark, I want to get fucked out in the surf. You game?"
"You bet I am."
Hand in hand, we jogged out into the surf. Once I was boned, Josh locked his arms around my neck and his legs around my waist. As he lowered himself, I held my cock steady for him to slide down on. Seconds later, I was buried up his ass. He began to ride me saying how great it felt and how much me wanted to feel me shoot my load up into him. Before long, he got his wish, saying how awesome it was to do it in the water. I had to find out so I held onto him as he fucked my ass. He was right, it was awesome.
When we returned to the house, we decided it was time for bed. I told him he needed to get his bag and head to bed. He looked at me sadly, picking up his bag and starting toward the stairs.
"Hey, upstairs is off limits now. When you're here you'll be sharing my bed. Remember that."
Suddenly smiling, he said, "Got it."
We had hot passionate sex all weekend both inside and outside. Sunday evening when he started to leave I held him and asked, "Since you're wanting to move out to this area, would you consider moving in here with me?"
"Only if you let me pay rent," he replied.
"You wouldn't be renting a room. You'd be sharing mine.'
"But I still want to pay rent."
I agreed and he set a price. I made him lower it saying part of his rent would be minor everyday repairs. He agreed.
That week he moved in taking the extra closet in the master bedroom. We were happy and content with the arrangement.
Then a couple months later, he came up to me one evening at sunset when we were standing in the surf and said, "Mark, I love you with all my heart and soul. You are my life. Will you be my lover till the end of time?"
"Yes, Josh, I will. I love you also more than anything."
He dropped to one knee and said, "I, Josh Baker, take you, Mark Jacobs, to be my life partner from now to the end of time. I promise to love honor and cherish with all my heart."
He stood and I knelt, pledging the same to him. We kissed and went in to consummate our union.
That was six years ago and both our businesses are booming. Most people along the beach know we're lovers and accept us openly, always inviting us to parties.
I cherish the day Josh came into my life.

text: Recently I posted a drawing I made of an alligator snapper, which eventually served as the header to this blog. It was part of the latest and fourth Mail Me Art project with the theme "Open All Hours". Darren DiLieto, who runs the project from the UK said however that the interpretation of the theme could be as broad as you want it to be. I also wanted to see if JJ Cromer, who collaborated with me last year on a dozen works as part of a series titled "Splotch/Asterisk", might be interested in collaborating again, this time on the MMA4 piece. Thankfully JJ was down for the collab, and Darren was cool with it as well, and yesterday I received the finished piece in the mail from JJ. As with previous collaborations, I didn't really know what to expect, but as always JJ surpassed all expectations. There was really nothing else I could possibly add to the piece, so after scanning and photographing the drawing, I sent it out in the mail to Darren early this morning. In 2015 it'll be part of the Mail Me Art 4: Open All Hours book from The Little Chimp Society, as well as the exhibition(s) that Darren sets up with each book release. It's going to be a while, since the MMA3: Short & Sweet project is just winding down a bit. You can still buy copies of the current book, which is a real delight, as well as participate in the latest project by getting involved HERE!

Jamie Brown had a short run on The Shield, the FX hit starring Michael Chiklis, playing junkie whore Connie Riesler. While the svelte blonde can be made up to look like a drug addict, the sexy hooker part comes easy to the actress. Sadly that sexuality hasn't been exploited as much as it could be, save a violent scene from The Shield where she's in her underwear. Jamie played another junkie on Six Feet Under and has appeared on NYPD Blue, CSI, Monk, and in the romantic drama The Notebook...Join Mr. Skin for the full bio >>

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. That ole tooth came out without a problem. So far I am doing well except I would like some real food. On cold liquid restrictions until morning. Hope everyone has had a great day and all those that aren't feeling well get better soon.
Vinton, Virginia
Joni, your floors are beautiful. I love them.
Ginny, I am better. God heard you. He always hears us. But, prayer from others helps a lot, too. Jim didn't make it to the Church. Forgot to take his morning pain meds. Then, by the time he did feel better, rain moved in. So metal detecting is on hold for a couple weeks, as he will be recovering from his hernia surgery. That surgery, which I said is tomorrow, is actually on Weds. I have been thinking it is Tues. all day today. Hate when that happens. You didn't scare me. I know better but sometimes I don't give in soon enough. Even when I know I should.
I so appreciate all of you caring so much about me. It means more then you will ever know.
Sukochi, I hope that your husband has a much quicker and less comlicated recovery from his hernia surgery than I am experiencing. I'm sorry that he didn't get to do and detecting today. It will be exciting to hear what he finds when he does his search.
Which reminds me, I should have my son get his out to see if he can find the shed key that the neighbors cat stole and carried off 2 years ago. Ginny
Sukochi, yes I did get it I have seen the article but have not read it yet, I will give it look again, have just been busy ,busy busy ,LOL .thanks for bringing it to my attention , Barbara
Joni, your home is so clean ,I need you to come and do mine ,it is a disaster esp,now with all this fabric I have no place to put. LOL Barbara
Karla, received my Birthday surprise from you, thank you very much love the card and fabric
[Ava, Missouri
Geez, what a busy day. Got Barbara's block done for the Parasols and Fabric Birthday Block. Started my August block for Borderlines in Butternut and Blue. Rearranged furniture for the Mantle headboard in our bedroom. Then had to do a little more shifting to get the Mantle screwed into the wall. We had a problem as there is a electric plug right where we should have put it so it is a bit not in the center of the room. It will have to do.
Now, have to get supper done and the ironing done for tomorrow. We have to check in at the Hosp. for Jim's hernia surgery at 6:15. Should be back home by 11:00.
Talked to our Pastor for a bit. One of the ladies in the church is at the Hosp. with her Dad who is in the final stages of lung cancer and his heart is failing. So sad. Dianne is our Pastor's wife's BF and so she is there with Dianne.
Y'all have a great evening. Will be back on here tomorrow aft.
Sukochi, prayers going up for Jim for a successful surgery and a quick recovery.
My carpal tunnel surgery is scheduled for 3:30 tomorrow afternoon and they expect me to fast from midnight tonight until then. Good grief, I'm going to waste away to nothing by then. : )
P.S. I could probably live off my FAT for at least six months, gotta do something about that. Do you lose weight if you just think about it???? No fair!
Millbury, MA
Marie, Prayers right back at 'cha for your surgery outcome tomorrow. We are such a falling apart group of old ladies. Well, except for Kris and CC. They are not falling apart or old.
Is there an Old Quilters Home somewhere?. Lot of sewing machines, rotary cutters, mats, pins, design walls, longarm machines, and tons and ton of fabric? Or, is that Quilters Heaven!?!?
Definitely Quilters Heaven, Sukochi!
Where is everybody today? No one but us few chickens on here. Not even any funny happenings coming out of CC. Surely she is not having a boring day. She always has such interesting days. Where is everybody???
Nan just reported to me that she has lost 25 pounds being sick for so long. Wow. . She said Maddie got the Non Profit now. for Quilted Hugs By Maddie. I told her Maddie better get out there and beat the bushes for some kids needin' hugs made of fabric.
Marie:P.S. I could probably live off my FAT for at least six months, gotta do something about that. Do you lose weight if you just think about it???? No fair!
If you could lose fat just by thinking about it, I would be nothing but skin and bones.
I am getting ready to go to the dentist. Have to have a tooth pulled. Really not looking forward to this visit...LOL> I probably will come home a nap most of the afternoon. Unfortunately anytime I have to have even the smallest procedure done it causes the fibromyalgia to go into overdrive...yuck.

Hope you feel better after having your tooth pulled than I have. I had one pulled last Wednesday and still am having problems from it. The way I felt that morning I should have postponed the appointment, but stubborn me, I went. My jaw muscles were very tight before he started and I couldn't relax them. The muscles in my whole face and neck hurt for several days afterwards and I had a nagging headache - all because of fibromyalgia!! The whole mess set off a major flare up along with nausea and light-headedness - one of my usual reactions. Hope you do much better!
I am feeling a little better today, so maybe I can get to the pile of 12 finished wheelchair quilt tops that are waiting for me. Need to finish these before I do anything I really want to do, like FMQ practice. I couldn't stand long enough to sandwich quilts - headache and aches returned every time I tried. Need to be ready for the next Mystery quilts that start this fall. Hope at least one will work for another college quilt for one of our grandchildren.
You have the right idea - take a nap. I didn't, so I paid!
Marsha - Western New York
I've been busy...yard work this morning and then picking pears. We have two pear trees that were rather prolific this year....we've picked about 12 grocery bags full of pears that we're now trying to ripen. After the yard work (and it was hot out there) I came in and took a nap. When I woke up I finished the binding on Logan's quilt (I'm attaching a photo of the finished quilt).
I will be thinking about you tomorrow. Hope your surgery goes well.

Every desk should be well lit with the proper lighting in order for you to work efficiently and comfortably. I know I can't work under dim and dark conditions. That's why you should consider the UltraBrite LED Desk Lamp (model SL9067-2) from Costco either for your home office or your desk at work. This desk lamp will make your work station nice and bright, so you don't strain your eyes when reading documents and your computer screen. What's great about the UltraBrite SL9067-2 LED Desk Lamp is that is has two usb ports, so you can easily charge your mobile devices like tablets and smartphones. What I like about this desk lamp over old school desk lamps from back in the day is that they use LEDs over traditional light bulbs.

The UltraBrite LED Desk Lamp is great for either your desk or even a nightstand.

Simsalabim slot - Free Play - Game Review
Play Simsalabim slot machine game online if you are looking for a new Magic theme title.
This is a 5-reel, 25-line game that is offering features such as free spins, a bonus game and many optional pay lines. There is also the opportunity to win a huge jackpot on any single spin.
The renowned Dante the Magican used Sim Sala Bim words on stage and this is where Net Entertainment got the inspiration to create this classic magic show theme slot.
All the standard reel symbols are based on a themed magicians act. These include a Hat, Dove, Chest, Cards Ace, Jack, Queen and King.
How to Play Simsalabim Slot Machine
This slot comes with adjustable stake levels. You can spend the minimum of 0.25 per spin and the maximum of 250.00. The game has fixed paylines, so you have to activate all of them on each spin.
The magician icon acts as the wild and jackpot symbol. It can replace all the symbols besides the bonus and scatter to give you more chances to get big wins.
You can win a generous jackpot prize of 7500 coins when five of the wild magician symbols land on any active pay-line.
The scatter symbol has a magic box and it will give you scatter wins and free spins. Spinning at least three scatters on the reels will trigger the Simsalabim free spins. Five of the symbols will give you thirty free spins. All your pay outs will be tripled in the free spins round and you are able to accumulate additional free spins.
A Bonus icon with a magician's bunny will activate the bonus game. When the bonus round starts, you will go to a second screen that has many magicians hats. You would use your magic wand to tap any of the hats and earn random rewards when a bunny jumps out. You are required to tap the hats until a wisp of smoke comes from an empty one. The bonus game will end at this point.
It will be well worth your while to play Simsalabim slot machine with its high payouts!

How to Fix the Face-to-Face Requirement
In the various roles he has undertaken through the years, Val J. Halamandaris has been a singular driving force behind the policy and program initiatives resulting in the recognition of home health care as a viable alternative to institutionalization. His dedication to consumer advocacy, which enhances the quality of life and dignity of those receiving home health care, merits VNA HealthCare Group's highest recognition and deepest respect.
- VNA HealthCare Group
I have the highest respect for them, especially for the nurses, aides and therapists, who devote their lives to caring for people with disabilities, the infirm and dying Americans. There are few more noble professions.
- President Barack Obama
Home health care agencies do such a wonderful job in this country helping people to be able to remain at home and allowing them to receive services
- U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Chair, Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee
Home care is a combination of compassion and efficiency. It is less expensive than institutional care...but at the same time it is a more caring, human, intimate experience, and therefore it has a greater human element...it's a big mistake not to try to maximize it and find ways to give people the home care option over either nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions
- Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Medicaid covers long-term care, but only for low-income families. And Medicare only pays for care that is connected to a hospital discharge....our health care system must cover these vital services...[and] we should promote home-based care, which most people prefer, instead of the institutional care that we emphasize now.
- Former U.S. Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-CD)
We need incentives to...keep people in home health care settings...It's dramatically less expensive than long term care.
- U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Home care is clearly the wave of the future. It's clearly where patients want to be cared for. I come from an ethnic family and when a member of our family is severely ill, we would never consider taking them to get institutional care. That's true of many families for both cultural and financial reasons. If patients have a choice of where they want to be cared for, where it's done the right way, they choose home.
- Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
A couple of years ago, I spent a little bit of time with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its president, Val J. Halamandaris, and I was just blown away. What impressed me so much was that they talked about what they do as opposed to just the strategies of how to deal with Washington or Sacramento or Albany or whatever the case may be. Val is a fanatic about care, and it comes through in every way known to mankind. It comes through in the speakers he invites to their events; it comes through in all the stuff he shares.
- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
Val's home care organization brings thousands of caregivers together into a dynamic organization that provides them with valuable resources and tools to be even better in their important work. He helps them build self-esteem, which leads to self-motivation.
- Mike Vance, former Dean of Disney and author of Think Out of the Box
Val is one of the greatest advocates for seniors in America. He goes beyond the call of duty every time.
- Arthur S. Flemming, former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Val has brought the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities out in the open for everyone to look at. He is a visionary pointing the direction for us.
- Margaret (Peg) Cushman, Professor of Nursing and former President of the Visiting Nurses Association
Although Val has chosen to stay in the background, he deserves much of the credit for what was accomplished both at the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, where he was closely associated with me and at the House Select Committee on Aging, where he was Congressman Claude Pepper's senior counsel and closest advisor. He put together more hearings on the subject of aging, wrote more reports, drafted more bills, and had more influence on the direction of events than anyone before him or since.
- Frank E. Moss, former U.S. Senator
Val's most important contribution is pulling together all elements of home health care and being able to organize and energize the people involved in the industry.
Anyone working on health care issues in Congress knows the name Val J. Halamandaris.
- Kathleen Gardner Cravedi, former Staff Director of the House Select Committee on Aging
Without your untiring support and active participation, the voices of people advocating meaningful and compassionate health care reform may not have been heard by national leaders.
- Michael Sullivan, Former Executive Director, Indiana Association for Home Care
All of us have been members of many organizations and NAHC is simply the best there is. NAHC aspires to excellence in every respect; its staff has been repeatedly honored as the best in Washington; the organization lives by the highest values and has demonstrated a passionate interest in the well-being of patients and providers.
- Elaine Stephens, Director of Home Care of Steward Home Care/Steward Health Systems and former NAHC C
Home care increasingly is one of the basic building blocks in the developing system of long-term care. On both economic and recuperative bases, home health care will continue to grow as an essential service for individuals, for families and for the community as a whole.
- Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
NCOA is excited to be part of this great event and honored to have such influential award winners in the field of aging.
- National Council of Aging
Health care at home…is something we need more of, not less of. Let us make a commitment to preventive and long-term care. Let us encourage home care as an alternative to nursing homes and give folks a little help to have their parents there.
- Former President Bill Clinton
The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) has released its 2016 Legislative Priorities Document, which includes the highest priority issue briefs from the much larger NAHC Legislative Blueprint for Action to be released in the near future. The priority items will be combined into a booklet that will be distributed to every Congressional office just before NAHC's 2016 March on Washington Conference, taking place April 3-5 in Washington, D.C. The Legislative Priorities Document, along with accompanying resources, supports advocacy efforts at the March on Washington and throughout the year.
While the Legislative Priorities Document includes NAHC's top hospice priorities as well as some of the regulatory issues where we are seeking Congressional intervention, NAHC will also be preparing separate hospice and regulatory booklets for distribution to Congress.
As the time for the March on Washington approaches, NAHC will release what are called "legislative hotsheets" that advocates can use for talking points and as handouts for their visits. There will be individual hotsheets addressing Medicare, Medicaid, hospice, private pay, and technology priority issues.
While the U.S. House of Representatives surprisingly decided to work during the week leading up to Easter and take the two weeks after Easter off, the Senate will follow the historical pattern of taking off Easter week and the week after. This means that Senators are expected to be in Washington but Representatives will likely be out of town during the March on Washington. However, NAHC expects House health policy staff will be available for meetings during the March on Washington. In fact, it is often easier to schedule meetings with the policy staffers when Congress is not in session.
Stay tuned to NAHC Report for the release of the 2016 Legislative Blueprint for Action and additional NAHC resources that support advocacy efforts during the March on Washington and throughout the year.
The 2016 Legislative Priories Document is available here.
Registration and hotel information for the March on Washington is available here.

The episode was basically about teenagers and virginity.
I didn't watch the whole show. I've only watched like the first 10 minutes. I don't know if it was a rerun or not, but I recall watching an episode about the same things months ago. But, I have caught it in the middle. Maybe, it was the same episode. The same thing happen in the episode. The girls who was having sex wanted to let their mother know.
The first girl on the show was 14 years old. She lost her virginity at 13 years old. That's sad. Her story is sad. She slept with 4 different guys.
She slept with one guy - her first and after he slept with her, the next day, he acted like she didn't exist. He didn't call her or anything. I think they go to the same school, if I am not mistaken.
The young girl slept with another guy and he did the same thing. She didn't exist to him the next day. The girl went on to sleep with a third boy, at a football game, behind a school building. She was only used for that night. He didn't contact her the next day.
This is so sad, because if the three guys goes to school with her that has to be embarrassing. They probably talk about her like dirt, amongst one another.
The fourth guy, she said she'd known for 2 years. They were like best friends. She slept with him more than once. Yet, he dumped her. She told Tyra that he told her that they would never talk, etc. She cried talking about him.
What's even sad about the young girl's story is that she created a my space account and posted sexy pictures of herself to get guys attention. She told Tyra that she loves getting attention from guys.
In my humble opinion, this girl doesn't love herself. I know that a lot of people feel that a lot of girls go out and have sex, because they are looking for a father's love, if there is no father present in her life. I don't know if the girl's father was around or not. As I have said before, I didn't watch the whole show. I've turned the channel, when her mother came out.
A lot of girls have fathers in their lives. Good fathers and they still go out and have sex to fit in.
When are girls going to realize that you don't need a guy's attention to love yourself? I know that some people don't believe in God and some that claims to believe in God don't care what The Bible says about sex. But, having sex before marriage is a sin. God doesn't care how much a woman claims to love a man or a man claims to love a woman. Sex was designed for marriage.
These days, a lot of people thinks it's cool to walk in the "Friends with benefits" shoes. A real friend wouldn't go that low. Diseases are real. It doesn't care if a person wants to play with someone else. It will grab a hold of you and do some damage. It can take you to your grave and don't care.
There is nothing wrong with being a virgin. Some people try to make it seems as if, there is someone seriously wrong with a person if they are still a virgin. Nowadays, if a girl is 13 years old and a virgin, she may be teased about it.
Virginity is a treasure. It's worth a lot and that's why so many people try to collect it from someone. If you are a virgin, no matter what your age is. You can be 50 years old. Be proud! Walk with your head up. Don't be ashamed!
If a man really loves a woman, he would marry her. He would not try to pressure her into having sex with him. Only a man that doesn't love himself, will try to pressure a woman into having sex with him.
I will not leave the woman out. Some women try to pressure men into having sex as well. If a woman really loves a man, she would wait until marriage, before she tries to claim his golden prize.
As for young people If a boy tells a girl he loves her, he would truly mean it with his heart. He wouldn't ask her for sex. The girl wouldn't ask the guy for sex, if she truly loves him. Boys and girls would wait until marriage.
It's easy to find a broken heart. But what about finding a whole, healthy heart?
Love will not send a person from one person to another person. True love will stop at one person.

We'll notify you of future scholarships.
To have received one of these scholarships, you must be a current resident of one of the 28 EU countries or 4 EFTA countries. You must also be at least 18 years old and complete the application in full. Please see the Terms and Conditions for the full list of countries and eligibility requirements.
The program takes place 100% online. You can work from wherever you want to, as long as you have a working internet connection.
That can vary on your level of experience. Between instructional content, quizzes, projects, and other course-related activity, we estimate that investing 10 hours/week will enable you to proceed through both programs to successfully finish before your 3-month scholarship ends. However, this is just a guideline. Both programs are self-paced, meaning you can work at whatever pace you'd like, as long as you complete the material and project(s) before your scholarship ends.
Both scholarship programs are scheduled to run from January 12 - April 12, 2017. You can study according to your own schedule as long as you complete the course within 3 months. You have access to the material via your Udacity classroom, or the mobile apps, 24 hours a day and you are welcome to learn whenever suits you best.
The program is 100% free and funded by Google. No matter if you complete all assignments by the end of the scholarship or fail to do so, you will not be charged or asked for your credit card information.
The Beginner Path scholarship was originally designed for a single course, Android Basics: User Interface - EU. This course has two lessons in it: 1A and 1B. On January 26, we added four additional lessons to the program. All of the combined lessons now show-up under EU Scholarship - Android Development for Beginners in your classroom. The scholarship allows you to try both courses out in a supported environment where Udacity mentors and staff are available in Udacity forums and Slack chats to answer your questions.
The lessons in this course are actually the first two courses (a total of six lessons) in the Android Basics Nanodegree program. Your progress and participation in these courses will in part determine if you qualify for one of the 1,250 scholarships for the Nanodegree.
1,250 high-performing students from this course will be awarded an additional scholarship to the Android Basics Nanodegree program. We'll start the review process to award these scholarships in early April. To excel in the EU Scholarship - Android Development for Beginners course and give yourself the best chance to win the additional Nanodegree Scholarship, we encourage you to:
Complete your course material and quizzes as well and thoroughly as you can. We will evaluate everyone's progress at the beginning of April so there is no reward to finishing first.
Support your fellow students and be an active member of the community. We have seen time and time again that the most successful students are those that learn in a community. We hope to see continuous engagement from you and your classmates on Slack and the forums over the next three months.
The Programmer Path is a full scholarship to the Associate Android Fast Track by Google for more advanced programmers. The program is designed to teach you exactly what you need to know to successfully pass the Associate Android Developer Certification Exam from Google, a key credential in the industry. It's a great way to prove your Android Development skills and earn a certification directly from Google affirming those skills—a definitive step on the path to a job as an Android Developer.
Google launched the Associate Android Developer Certification in May 2016. You can learn more about the Certification here.
These scholarships do not guarantee you a job. But Udacity students often do get jobs after graduating from programs like this. Check out some student stories here.
The program is 100% free. Each scholarship recipient will receive credit for the scholarship sufficient to cover fees paid for the program.
In order to be fair to all scholarship applicants and recipients we do not extend deadlines. But we will work very hard to create more scholarship opportunities like this one and hope you will be able to take advantage of those.
Sign up to get notified when further scholarship opportunities become available in the future. Also, take advantage of some of our free Android Developer courses here.

I don't feel the economy of Nepal is successful because they are one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. One quarter of its population is living below the poverty line.

For anyone that follows their favorite singer, you always know their tour schedule. While John Mellencamp isn't one of my favorites (I do love a handful of his songs), my husband likes him and has always wanted to see him but I knew that JCM isn't doing the big tours like he used to, instead favoring the smaller venues. He performed at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk, and the sound there was AMAZING.
For comparison's sake: the Virginia Beach Amphitheater seats 20,000; the Ntelos Pavilion in Portsmouth seats 7,500; Chrysler Hall seats 2,500; the NorVa in Norfolk seats 1,450; and the Funny Bone in Virginia Beach seats 350.
Chrysler Hall is very particular about people doing any kind of recording or photography during any performance there, so I didn't risk it by taking any pictures, even with us being in the balcony. Fortunately, not everyone was as careful.
The opening act was Carlene Carter, daughter to June Carter-Cash. I'm not a country fan anyway, so it was hard to listen to this chick sing. She is SUPER twangy (think about the stereotypical female country singer, with a southwestern Virginia accent!) and she sang two or three separate songs about her mother's passing in 2003 and how hard Johnny Cash took it. Ewwwwwww, I'm not in a place yet where the topic of dying mothers is entertaining, and it seems a little distasteful in a "I'm milking my family for all it's worth!" kind of way. I did have to wonder how she got paired up with JCM for his "Plain Spoken" tour. Usually, the pairings make sense. This one didn't to me, at least, not right away.
Anyway, she sang maybe 5-7 songs and then JCM came out. He always reminded me of the "everyman" kind of performer: folksy, down to earth, speaks for the common man, and I think that's why my husband likes him. However, as I was watching him, I watched how he held his guitar and how he was dressed. He was in an almost black suit with a vest and white shirt on underneath. He looked and moved a little like Johnny Cash. He has gone from rocker to the modern Man in Black, and that was the tie in with him and Carlene Carter, Johnny Cash's step-daughter. Clay Barbour, a reporter for The Virginian-Pilot, wrote, "John Mellencamp has always operated in the realm of Americana with a roots-tinged blend of rock and country, but his music hasn't stayed the same. In a career that has spanned nearly 40 years, the one-time John Cougar Mellencamp (and Johnny Cougar) has explored sounds from soul to the Stones to Springsteen."
He started out performing the newer stuff, which strikes me as anti-establishment, to a degree, and it was alright. Nothing to write home about. Then he slowly transitioned into some older songs. "Though 63, Mellencamp remains creatively restless. He plays Chrysler Hall in Norfolk Sunday, supporting his 22nd studio album, "Plain Spoken," a rough-hewn record of pained lyrics and understated guitar. Mellencamp is a fascinating musician, a heartland hero more comfortable as an outsider," Barbour said in his review." I thought that was the best way to describe him.
Lawless Times
Toubled Man
Minutes to Memories
Stones in my Passway
Human Wheels
The Isolation of Mister
Check It Out
Longest Days
Jack and Diane
The Full Catastrophe
But then after these songs, JCM stepped off stage and let his other musicians perform for a song themselves. When they were done, he came back on stage, the jacket was gone, and the vest and white t-shirt were showing. The audience went nuts and this became a different show altogether. This became JCM as a down and dirty rocker, classic, vintage stuff we all heard on the radio growing up.
Away From This World—with Carlene Carter*
Tear This Cabin Down—with Carlene Carter*
Rain on the Scarecrow
Paper in Fire
If I Die Sudden
Crumblin Down
Authority Song/Land of 1000 Dances
Pink Houses
Cherry Bomb
Hearing him perform "Crumblin Down" and the "Authority Songs" were the highlights for me. Those to me are the best things he's ever done and I sing to those any time I hear them (provided I'm along and no one can hear me!).
*Fun note to mention: both of these songs are from "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County," a musical he wrote with Stephen King. Even though it came out in 2013, JCM said they started working on it 15 years ago and it's still in a stage of being worked on.
Of Barbour's review, I didn't agree with this: "And at an age when some artists use their bands to hide diminished vocal range, Mellencamp employs a bare-boned sound that leaves his nicotine-stained cords center stage." JCM does sound pretty rough on the newest CD, but that doesn't seem to carry over into his live performances, and he even broke out a cigarette during one of his songs. Instead, when live, he sounds like someone who might be aging naturally with a few cigarettes thrown in. But let's be honest, how many singers, even if they take care of their voices, sound the same at 63 as they did at 23? Even Billy Joel sounds a touch different, but still recognizable and still great.
And he had five other musicians on stage with them for about 75% of the show. He wasn't hiding behind their music. If anything, he showed them off as well. He had a violinist on stage with him, named Miriam Sturm. She was dressed in a black or navy blue ball gown and barefoot (apparently) and she was the breakdown star of the show. She was animated and having a good time. Watching her play her violin was like watching a precisely tuned machine, and her entire right arm (with the bow) looked like it was all pivoted. It was just so interesting to watch her, and there was a few times while performing older songs, her violin performance replaced the original female back up singing.
The only true let down of the show: no encore! My husband and I were expecting 1 or 2 more songs, possibly "Hurts So Good," or some other classic. But no…no encore tonight.
If you get the chance to see JCM perform, definitely try to go. It was a better show than I imagined, and he's not someone I would have gone to see if my husband had been gone.

Is there a "best practice" when trying to transfer Outlook contacts from one user account to another?
Here is the rough scenerio: a user was terminated, then r-hired in another department. The original account is disabled and must remain that way. However we want to get her old contacts list into the new account. Is it any more complicated than just exporting the original list to a CSV file and then importing in the new account? Will that work between 2 different accounts?

May 29, 2008 at 7:41 UTC
What you suggest seems the easiest way to me although I would export to a PST file as opposed to CSV and then import into the new account.
Jun 3, 2008 at 12:30 UTC
For what it's worth, I was able to open both accounts in seperate OWA windows and just drag and drop the contacts.
Jun 3, 2008 at 3:26 UTC
Electronic Workplace is an IT service provider.
w were you able to log in to the OWA account on the original user if it was disabled and "had to stay that way"?

Hi Will
That's exactly why I asked the question - this strikes me as a serious security issue.
Say a disgruntled employee who had had his account disabled was able to get back in and start sending emails again! Was it the whole domain account that was disabled or just the Exchange Features removed, for example?
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
