For a list of the courses required in Upper School, see our course list.
Grade 8 acts as a transitional year for students who have completed the BASIS Independent Middle School program and are preparing to enter high school. These grade 8 students continue to build their knowledge base with a wide variety of rigorous courses, including a full year of introductory-level Economics and the chance to enroll in advanced electives like Environmental Science, Computer Science or Psychology, which are aligned with the AP curriculum.
Although BASIS Independent Schools provide a rigorous and accelerated program for all students, there are some students who are ready to move even faster in certain disciplines. In order to give these students the chance to move ahead to more challenging courses, and in order to further develop the accelerated nature of the BASIS Independent program, we provide LEAP courses in select grade 8 core disciplines: science and English. LEAP students must apply for entry to the course, obtain a recommendation from a teacher of that particular subject, and maintain an acceptable overall academic record.
BASIS Independent Brooklyn offers an advanced liberal arts anda STEM-focused curriculum that is among the most interesting and rigorous in the country. The curriculum asks students to work hard to reach their academic potential, offers the assurance of comprehensive benchmarking and expert teaching and holds students accountable for their own success. Students are challenged to think critically and develop intellectual agility.
The innovation in the BASIS Independent Upper School curriculum is that we set clear, transparent exit criteria and then work backwards through the academic program to set rigorous but attainable checkpoints along the way. Thus, our students do not fall through the cracks and feel genuinely supported and guided in their studies.
NEW SCHOOLS NOTE: During its first several years, BASIS Independent will implement modified course requirements and course offerings for students in grades 6 and higher. For students in grades 9–11, these modifications include, but are not limited to, the offering of certain AP courses and exams.

More Ghosts in a New Japanese Trailer for Paul Feig's 'Ghostbusters'
by Alex Billington
June 7, 2016
Source: YouTube
"Who's in the mood to save New York City?" Sony Pictures Japan has release a new international trailer for Paul Feig's Ghostbusters, which hits theaters in late July. We've already seen at least two trailers for this
remake reboot so far, and fans have been arguing about them ever since. This latest trailer has a few more ghosts in it and some extra footage to check out. Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones star, along with Chris Hemsworth as their secretary. Slimer makes an appearance in this, as does the big redux marshmallow man (in the teaser image above). I like the editing in this trailer, it makes this seem like this might be more entertaining than the other trailers have shown. Fire this up below.
Here's the new Japanese trailer for Paul Feig's Ghostbusters movie, found on Sony's YouTube:
For more info on the new Ghostbusters, follow director Paul Feig on Twitter @paulfeig. Any better?
30 years after Ghostbusters took the world by storm, the beloved franchise makes its long-awaited return. Director Paul Feig brings his fresh take to the supernatural comedy, joined by some of the funniest actors working today. The upcoming Ghostbusters movie will star Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones as the new 'busters. The main villain is supposedly a "creepy mechanical genius". Michael Kenneth Williams and Andy Garcia also star. Sony Pictures will release this brand new Ghostbusters movie, directed by Paul Feig (of Unaccompanied Minors, Bridesmaids, The Heat, Spy) from a screenplay by Katie Dippold and Paul Feig, in theaters everywhere starting July 22nd this summer.

The Winter Meeting of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is designed to showcase potential presidential candidates to members of the DNC – all of whom are Super Delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
The Candidate Presentations will take place Friday & Saturday, Feb. 2-3. The Friday morning schedule includes: Chris Dodd, Barack Obama, Wesley Clark, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, and Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, Mike Gravel, and Tom Vilsack will be speaking Saturday morning.
There will be extensive press coverage. C-Span will be covering the speeches live and there will also be a live WebCast.
Watch for our candidate, Senator Mike Gravel, at 10:05 am on Saturday, Feb. 3.
Keep checking www.Gravel08.us for updates on broadcasts of the event, as well as for comments from campaign staff from the floor of the Winter Meeting on Saturday morning. Get your TIVOs, DVD/Rs, and even a VCR or two ready! We will have 25 campaign staff and volunteers at the Meeting to introduce the Delegates to Mike.
If you miss Mike's speech on TV, following the Meeting it will be available at www.Gravel08.us in both text and video format.
The DNC meetings will be held at the Hilton Washington Hotel, 1919 Connecticut Ave, NW (202-483-3000)
Closest Metro: Dupont Circle stop on the Red Line (& walk north 3 blocks)
Parking Entrances: (1) on 19th St,., NW, north of Florida Ave; and (2) Connecticut & T streets, NW ($23 for 3-24 hours)
As a critic of both the Vietnam War and of government secrecy, Senator Mike Gravel (Democrat – Alaska, 1969-81) officially released the "top secret" Pentagon Papers. This historical study, whose authors included Daniel Ellsberg, covered the initial U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and the lies and unauthorized actions of several Administrations that kept us in that war of choice.
Mike's recommendations about our preemptive war in Iraq include immediate withdrawal of our troops. Having waged a five-month, one-man filibuster in 1971 that effectively ended the military draft in the U.S., he believes the Senate needs to take stronger action and is not now fulfilling its responsibilities under the Constitution. Mike disparages the use of non-binding Senate resolutions.
Mike will also ask Americans to assert the inherent political power envisioned by our Founders when they wrote "We, the People do ordain..."
Our Founders knew that future generations would adapt our Constitution to meet the needs of an ever-changing world. What they couldn't have known is how much money would be needed to campaign for election and re-election, and how that––and other problems in the structure of representative government–– would lead to policies that too often benefit special interest groups rather than reflecting the will of the People.
The National Initiative for Democracy is a proposed legislative package, a Constitutional amendment and a federal statute, that a majority of American voters would need to vote for before it could become law. The National Initiative does not abolish representative government. It would allow citizens to also pass laws on major issues that affect our lives. The National Initiative would reform our democracy, adding another Check to our system of Checks and Balances: We, the People. It would provide a mechanism for the expression of our collective self-interest. We could finally have a government not just "of" and "for" the people, but "by" the People.
Let us know what you think of Mike's speech.
This is a great opportunity to ask your friends to check out the two web sites:

Take a look at the below list of Luther Vandross Top 10 Songs and Albums of All Time. Luther Ronzoni Vandross, Jr. (known as Luther Vandross) was born on 20th April 1951 in Manhattan, New York City. His father, Luther Vandross, Sr. was a singer and upholster while his mother was a nurse. Having his phonograph, Vandross started teaching himself how to play the piano at the age of three. His father died when Vandross was eight years old. In the year 2003, Vandross wrote "Dance with My Father" as a dedication to his deceased father. Vandross based the lyrics of the song on his mother's recollections and his childhood memories. Luther Vandross was a singer and dancer in high school – he performed in Shades of Jade, a group that once played at Apollo Theatre. In his music career, he sang backing vocals for various artists such as Chaka Khan, Bette Midler, and Carly Simon.
List of Luther Vandross Top 10 Songs of All Time
10. Love It, Love It
"Love It, Love It" is among the songs that Vandross had not previously released. Luther and Hubert Eaves were writing the song for an artist known as Phil Perry, but the two hadn't witnessed a performance similar to what Luther Vandross did for the demo. After they had told the record company about it, they were happy to produce it for the UK market. A large number of people received the unheard Luther's piece full heartedly after its release.
9. A House Is Not A Home
"A House Isn't A Home"; this may be true. Dionne Warwick was the original producer of the song in the first place written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach. After Luther Vandross had gotten his deal with the modern Epic Records, he thought about doing a slower burn version of "A House Is Not A Home." Luckily, he did it justice, and it became his signature song. Only a few people know that another person had done it before. In fact, Dionne said that she was happy to do the first version, but Luther Vandross did the definitive version.
8. Superstar/ Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)
Luther Vandross recorded "Superstar/ Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" for his third album "Busy Body." The medley featured The Carpenters' 1971 track, "Superstar," and Aretha Franklin's 1973 classic "Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)." It was a magical moment when he performed it in concert.
7. Here and Now
"Here and Now" is among Luther Vandross's songs that stalled number one on Billboard R&B. The song, from his album, "The Best of Love" earned him his first ever Grammy Award, The Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in the year 1991. It was also his first song to appear on the Billboard Hot 100.
6. Dance With My Father
"Dance With My Father" was the title track of Luther Vandross thirteenth studio album. The singer co-wrote this track with Richard Marx based on his personal experiences. The heart touching lyrics in the song recalls the childhood memories of Luther Vandross's father, who danced with him and his mother. Even though the song lacked adequate promotion due to insufficient funds after Vandross's hospitalization, it earned him Song of the Year, plus Best Male R&B Vocal Performance awards.This is one of the Luther Vandross Top 10 Songs of All Time.
5. The Glow of Love
Luther Vandross was the lead signer on the Italian group Change's "The Glow of Love" which stalled number one on the US Billboard Dance chart in the year 1980. The band recorded this song at Fontoprint Studios, Bologna Italy.
4. Endless Love
"Endless Love" was another great song that Luther Vandross released in his career. The song featured Mariah Carey's vocals, being Luther's idea. Luther Vandross had suggested the duet between him and Mariah Carey because the song was Diana Ross and Lionel Richie's great hit. As a result, the dance was exciting. The song was a number one for the two singers.
3. The Closer I Get To You
According to Luther Vandross, "The Closer I Get To You" is one of his favorite hits. The singer liked the idea that he did this duet with Beyonce. From album to album, Vandross did a duet, and before the duet with Beyonce, he had done another one with Cheryl Lynn, "If This World Were Mine." The two also won the Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group at the 2004 Grammy Awards.
2. Any Love
"Any Love" was the title track of Luther Vandross's sixth album. The song also became his fourth track to hit number one on the Billboard R&B in the year 1988.
1. Never Too Much
This song, "Never Too Much," is amazing! One great story about this song is that Vandross worked for many years as a backup singer, but during those years he was just shopping for a better deal. Even though people loved the songs in his first package which included "Sugar and Spice" and "Never Too Much," no one signed him. Perhaps, he wanted to have crafty control – he wanted to write the songs and produce them by himself. After he had signed a deal with Epic Records, he was able to rise higher in his career.
Luther Vandross additional love songs
1. Give Me The Reason
"Give Me The Reason" was Luther Vandross's 1986 album title track. The song ranked at number three on the Billboard R&B chart in the same year and appeared on the "Ruthless People" movie. The song also received Grammy Award for Best R&B Song and the Best Male and R&B song of the year.
2. Stop To Love
This song, "Stop To Love," was Vandross's second number one single on Billboard R&B charts. The singer produced it in the year 1986.
The American singer passed on at the age of 54 – around two years after suffering stroke. Vandross was among the greatest romantic singers of his age, having received dozens of awards and selling around 25 million albums in his career. Including after the stroke in the year 2003, the singer kept recording, and as a result, he won four Grammys for the final album, "Dance With My Father." According to singer Roberta Flack, Vandross was a singer who couldn't help but give all he had.

Union Chief Strikes Back at the 'Insanity' of Trump's Budget Cuts at the EPA
In a Yale e360 interview, John O'Grady, head of the employees' union at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, rips into the Trump administration for its budget-slashing proposal that he says is aimed at destroying the agency that safeguards the nation's air and water.
The Trump administration's proposed budget contains drastic cuts to many government departments, but few are being hit as hard as the Environmental Protection Agency, which is slated for a funding reduction of 31 percent. A host of programs would be significantly pared back, including the enforcement of pollution laws, climate change research, the cleanup of Superfund sites, and the repair and construction of facilities that provide clean drinking water to U.S. towns and cities. The list of programs that would be completely eliminated includes the cleanup of the Great Lakes and the Chesapeake Bay, the Clean Power Plan, the Energy Star energy efficiency program, and the Office of Environmental Justice.
John O'Grady is president of the American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, which represents roughly 10,000 EPA employees nationwide. In an interview with Yale Environment 360, O'Grady rails against the proposed cuts, saying they will lead to dirtier water and air across the country. "We're going to have Flint, Michigan, multiplied by some factor of 10 or 100," says O'Grady. He maintains that while pollution may be less visible today compared to decades ago — "We don't see rivers catch on fire now, we don't see valleys filled with drums of chemicals" — the need for the EPA is no less great.
O'Grady says the true intent of the Trump administration is not to streamline the EPA, but to destroy it. "I believe that [EPA Administrator Scott] Pruitt is in place to deconstruct the agency," says O'Grady. "These individuals and the administration and those that support them in Congress are dead set on rolling back environmental and human health protections to the 1960s."

The Federation of Students
Since 1967, the Federation of Students (Feds) has existed as the official voice of undergraduate students of the University of Waterloo.
In that capacity, Feds undertakes activities both on and off campus to serve, empower and represent students. Feds operates seven commercial services, six student-run services, encompasses more than 200 clubs, supports student societies, and oversees Orientation Week, Welcome Week and a number of other special events held on campus.
Annually, Feds partners with organizations for community events including the Canada Day Celebrations at Columbia Lake Fields. Feds lobbies the government on behalf of undergraduates and ensures positive relationships between students and the municipality. Feds' day-to-day operations are run by an elected executive team composed of a President and three Vice Presidents: VP Operations and Finance, VP Internal, and VP Education. They, in turn, are held accountable by an elected Board of Directors, and a Students' Council comprised of representatives from each Faculty and College at the University of Waterloo.
Our Mission
To serve, empower and represent the undergraduate students of the University of Waterloo.
Our Vision
To support a united and empowered undergraduate community where students pursue both learning and personal fulfillment, and provide a campus with diverse and numerable opportunities for pleasurable and meaningful life experiences.
Our Values
- We respect that students are the stakeholders of the Federation of Students and the primary reason for our existence.
- We enhance the quality of life for students by promoting a safe, secure and environmentally conscious campus.
- We strive for innovation and continuous improvement in all that we do to increase the level of service offered to students.
- We seek to maintain a fair and reasonable academic environment conducive to student discussion on all issues.
- We strive for unity in our campus community by promoting diversity and equity in all aspects of campus life.
- We demonstrate an accountable Feds through transparency, communication and responsiveness to ensure sound financial management.
- We work with students to help them discover their potential, determine future goals, and allow for personal reflection.

Nov. 16--A federal court ruling against an Illinois insurer seeking payments under the Affordable Care Act's risk corridors program may raise doubts about the prospects of a similar lawsuit filed by Highmark that seeks nearly $223 million in compensation for losses from its ACA marketplace plans.
Late last week, Judge Charles F. Lettow of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., ruled that the nonprofit Land of Lincoln Mutual Health Insurance Co. is not owed $75.8 million it sought from the federal government. The judge said the insurer's certification agreement to be a qualified health plan selling into the insurance marketplace did not constitute a binding contract.
Land of Lincoln had contended the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services owed the money to cover its losses from the marketplace, a key component of the Affordable Care Act meant to provide uninsured individuals affordable access to health insurance coverage regardless of their medical history.
Without those risk corridor payments, the Chicago-based company was liquidated Oct. 1, terminating coverage for its nearly 50,000 customers.
Pittsburgh-based insurer Highmark filed its suit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in May, arguing that the government's failure to make full payment under the risk corridors program violated the ACA mandate, was a breach of the insurer's agreement with HHS and violated the insurer's rights under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by taking property -- or the right to receive the payments -- without fair compensation.
On Tuesday, Highmark spokesman Leilyn Perri said the insurer's case is still pending and noted that Highmark has a different judge, adding, "We are making a different legal argument."
Risk corridors is a three-year program under the Affordable Care Act, ending after 2016, in which insurers that profited from their marketplace plans were slated to return some of that money to the federal government for redistribution to plans that lost money in the early years of the program.
The goal was to protect insurers from significant losses while the still-young marketplace stabilized. More insurers lost money than made money, though, so payments to companies that lost money were reduced on a pro-rated basis.
In Highmark's case, those payments amounted to about $28 million, covering only 12.6 percent of its 2014 losses. "We entered into a contract with the federal government and we certainly lived up to our portion of the contract," said Highmark CFO Karen Hanlon at the time of the May filing. "But unfortunately the government hasn't lived up to one of its programs -- the risk corridors."

Charles Darwin was one of the first to realize that there are several emotions that are clearly expressed in the face and the body, not only of humans but also of many mammals. The fact that emotions are not unique to humans was consistent with his theory of evolution. Almost a century later, in 1972, Paul Ekman did a cross-cultural study in which he concluded that there are six basic emotions: joy, sadness, fear, anger, disgust and surprise.
• Fear is the most well-studied all these six emotions because is connected to important psychological problems like anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We know that involves the activation of the amygdala region of the brain. In the body, fears triggers the production of adrenaline and the activation of the sympathetic system, which prepares the body for action: the fight-or-flight response. Paradoxically, it can also produce the opposite behavior: freezing, which consists in complete immobility of the animal, perhaps to escape detection.
• Disgust makes us reject substances or environments that are potentially unhealthy because they present a danger of infection or poisoning. We can imagine that this is a very primitive emotion because even simple animals have chemical senses that stops them from eating and makes them move away from toxic substances. It is associated with the body reactions of nausea and vomiting.
• Anger is associated with behaviors of aggression. Like fear, it involves adrenaline secretion and the activation of the sympathetic system, but while fear leads to either freezing or escape, anger draws us towards whatever has irritated us.
• Surprise, like fear and anger, involves a general activation of the nervous system. Its role is to direct our attention towards an unexpected stimulus. It is not a negative emotion, because at the onset it draws us towards the stimulus. If the stimulus turns out to be threatening, it is quickly followed by fear.
• Sadness produces the opposite reaction than fear, anger and surprise: it deactivates the nervous system, leading to a state of internal withdrawal.
• Joy is the most positive emotion. It activates the nervous system to make us go out exploring or to repeat a pleasurable behavior. I think it is important not to confuse joy with happiness, which is not an emotion but a generalized state of well-being, harmony and agreement with our life. Although when we are happy we tend to experience more joy, we can be happy in the mist of other emotions. For example, the fear inspired by scary movies or dangerous sports is happy-making. Even sadness can be accompanied by happiness, like in some pleasant melancholy states.
I feel increasingly fascinated by emotions. For a long time I have wanted to write about these six basic emotions and now, to my surprise, there is a Disney movie about them! The animation film Inside Out zooms inside the mind of the characters to show us how these basic emotions interact among them to direct our behavior.
Of course, being a Disney movie, we can expect a certain lack of depth and factual errors. The first one is… Surprise! They totally left surprise out. Why? What's wrong with surprise? Is a perfectly legit basic emotion… Who doesn't like a surprise party? Well, actually, I do… I'm a bit of a control freak and don't like surprises, but that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate this emotion when it comes barging into my mind.
The other problem is a bit more subtle: the implication that these puny five emotions are the only ones we feel, when there are so many others. What happened to love, compassion, regret, jealousy, envy, pride, shame, guilt, indignation, self-righteousness, curiosity, boredom, awe, ridicule and loyalty? And that list is far from exhaustive. Unlike the six basic emotions of Ekman, many of these other emotions appear to be exclusively human. For example, we used to think that dogs feel shame and guilt, but recent research shows that we may be anthropomorphizing what is just a display of fear. Or maybe dogs are just very good a mimicking these emotions. Regardless, many of these emotions (like love, shame, guilt, pride and loyalty) are related to regulating social behavior. Others, like curiosity, interest, boredom and awe, seems related to our cognitive interaction with the world. I hope to write an article about these uniquely human emotions very soon.
And an interesting way of classifying emotions...

Cannot insert terms
Hi Everyone,
I have the following problem:
I have written a plugin which adds a custom post type with a custom toxonomy to my wordpress site. The plugin runs a cronjob every 10 minutes. When the cronjob is executed, data is fetched from a remote server. A part of the data contains terms that have to be associated with my custom post type. So i want to insert them as term in my custom taxonomy for my custom post type.
I tried to use wp_insert_term(), however after calling it nothing seems to be inserted. Did anyone face this problem aswell? and how did you solve it?
Thanks in advance.

Rep. Paul Ryan on Tuesday shot down a report in an influential conservative publication that he may jump into the 2012 race for the White House.
"While grateful for the continued support and encouragement, Congressman Ryan has not changed his mind," Ryan spokesman Kevin Seifert told CBS News when asked about the Weekly Standard report.
Writer Stephen Hayes, citing Wisconsin Republicans, reported on Tuesday that the House Budget Committee chief is "strongly considering" a White House bid and has spoken with Republican strategists over the past three months about the prospects for a late-start campaign. Hayes is the author of the 2004 book: "The Connection: How al Qaeda's Collaboration with Saddam Hussein Has Endangered America."
Ryan supporters gained hope last week when the Wisconsin lawmaker told a popular radio host he wasn't satisfied with the current crop of presidential candidates and that the American people deserve someone who can articulate a path out of our nation's debt problems.
"Look, the way I see 2012," Ryan said during an interview with Milwaukee radio host Charlie Sykes, "we owe it to the country to let them choose the path they want our country to take. And I just have yet to see a strong and principled articulation of the kind of limited government, opportunity society path that we would provide as an alternative to the Obama cradle-to-grave welfare state."
Pressed on the subject by Sykes, Ryan kept his position without entirely ruling out the possibility. Sykes reminded him that many people think he should be that person who leads the nation out of our current troubles.
"I keep hearing that," Ryan said. "I'm hoping that people will step up, and I'm hoping that somebody - I can help them fashion this. You know my story and you know my answer, and I haven't changed it. We've got a long way to go. There's 15 months left."
Karl Rove, the chief political strategist for former President George W. Bush, added to the speculation when he told Fox's Sean Hannity that Ryan and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were seriously revisiting the question.
"I don't think it is the end, though, of the field," Rove said. "I think we are likely to see several other candidates think seriously about getting in. And frankly, they have time to do so."
Ryan is the chief architect of the House Republican budget plan unveiled earlier this year that would have transformed Medicare into a voucher-based system as it dramatically cut government spending.

What the Varchar?
The music industry might be a direction you should consider taking your career if your current job is not working out. There are a wide variety of jobs that you can do that are directly related to music. This would be a great way for you to earn a living if you are a fan of music. You just need to determine which particular job in the music industry that you will be able to thrive at. Here are a few examples of jobs in the music industry that you should give some serious thought to pursuing.
1. Become a manager of musicians.
It is essential for musicians to have the proper management if their careers are going to flourish. A manager will help his musician clients to negotiate contracts that are in their best interests. A manager will also guide his clients by giving them advice and telling them which opportunities they should take in order to further their career. A manager will be involved in surrounding his clients with the best publicists and other people that can help to propel the musician's career to the next level. One of the most successful managers that the music industry has ever seen is Coran Capshaw. There are many rich and famous musicians who would not be where they are today without getting guidance from Capshaw.
2. Get into the recording business.
Do you prefer to have a job that allows you to be intimately involved in the creative process? If this is the case, a job in a professional recording studio is something you should pursue. There are a number of jobs that fall into this category. You could become a sound mixer. He is the person who takes all of the various musical elements that have been recorded and mixes them together so that they create one cohesive song. A sound engineer is the guy who is responsible for running most of the equipment in the studio. You will need to receive a great deal of training for this job because the engineer is expected to know every facet of the studio equipment. The producer is the person who is the boss during the recording process. He tells the engineer, mixer and all of the other studio personnel what sound he is looking for. It is the job of the studio staff to help the producer achieve his desired sound.
3. Become a publicist for musicians.
A publicist is another essential job in the music industry that musicians need in order to achieve fame and fortune. A publicist has the job of getting the names of his or her clients into the media. Having articles written about the musicians in newspapers, magazines and blogs is one of the primary tasks that a publicist is responsible for. A publicist will also facilitate getting his clients booked on radio and TV talk shows to do interviews promoting their latest single or album. This type of promotion is vital to let the public know about the new music.
4. Write songs for a living.
There are many people who write songs without performing professionally as a musician. These people try to get successful musicians to record their songs in the hopes of making royalties from the song if it becomes popular.

What Is The Right Thing To Do?
Decorating By percussiongrrl Updated 9 Aug 2009 , 11:40pm by costumeczar
Help, my fellow cakers! I'm not sure what the "right" thing to do is!
My little sister got married yesterday. I did NOT do her cake, as I didn't feel capable of doing as good of a job as she deserved and her wedding was out of town and I didn't trust myself to transport a cake that far. My sister ordered her cake from a small bakery in the area after a tasting.
That being said...
Her cake was awful It was not the design in her contract, her ribbon was not protected against the grease of the icing so the navy turned black, and the two largest layers were still frozen in the middle. The cake was not as the cake at her tasting, it was dry and few people finished their (wedding sized) slices. The icing was also worse than one of MY icing jobs....there was cake showing through the white icing.
The cake delivery was late and did not come until the wedding had started. I am not sure who opened the door for the cake delivery, but no one in our family was asked to sign off on the cake. My mom opted to serve the cake even with the incorrect decor b/c the reception was cake and punch only and when she saw it (walking into the reception) it was too late. Only after it was cut did she discover the frozen problem and the problem with the dry cake.
Here is the question: my mom (a non-caker) thinks she should get her money back. I understand that feeling, as the cake fell flat with most everyone (Bride included, she cried) and was not correct. BUT, she did cut the cake and serve the cake. However, that is what revealed more of the problems. I don't think causing a bakery to be out the money for supplies and such is fair. My mom is turning to me for advice since I'm a cake person, as well. I don't know what to tell her, so I'm asking for advice from some non-cake muggles. If it matters, the cake was about $825 and was priced at $2.75/serving for buttercream only. It was a 300 serving cake.
Please help me keep this situation "right" for everyone....my family AND the bakery!
Take everything you've written in this letter, plus pictures of the cake, and make an appointment to speak to the manager of the bakery.
I am one of those who believes that if we're in the business of selling wedding cakes at a premium price, they'd better be perfect. The bride is owed some compensation for the cake being sub-par on many levels.
ETA ... Do it today or tomorrow, don't wait two weeks until after the honeymoon.
Of course your family should receive a refund! The cake was still FROZEN!That alone is completely unacceptable.
The bride or whoever signed the contract should send a certified letter to the bakery requesting a refund. Enclose pictures of the cake and a detailed list of the problems (frozen, dry, ribbon problems, late arrival, etc)
The reception hall should also be contacted to have them send a letter verifying the cake was still frozen when they tried to cut it and what time the cake arrived.
There are many people who try to scam bakers into getting a free or discounted cake for little or no problem. This is not one of those circumstances. You have a valid complaint and the bakery did not produce an acceptable product. They should give a full refund.
There is no "reception hall" as the cake and punch were served in the church fellowship area. But there were 4 of my sister's friends (all of whom are in food service) who were in charge of cutting and serving the cake. Would they suffice?
Oh dear your poor sister
I reckon a refund is in order. It's not like you are complaining because of something simple - you were willing to just go with it even though it wasn't what was ordered but for it still to be frozen that in my opinion means it wasn't fit for purpose when it was meant to be which was totally out of your hands and not a minor issue. The fact that it was a cake and punch reception also meant that you're choice of what to do was limited - give your guests nothing or make the best of the situation. I'm so sorry this happened to you.
I agree that a partial, if not full, refund is in order.
That being said, I always tell brides that Navy photographs like black, as a warning to them.
This is seriously a tough one because we can look at it from the baker's point and view AND we can see it from "it's my sister's wedding" point of view.
Here's some of my views for your contemplation:
1) The delivery is not a big issue. The cake was there when you needed it. It was stressful that it wasn't there before the bride went down the aisle, but it was there when the bride arrived at the reception. Stressful? yes. Irritating? yes. big issue? Not really.
2) No sign off. I don't' have anyone sign off on my cake deliveries simply because there is NEVER a family member there when I deliver the cake. Did the family specifically request wanting someone to sign off and approve the cake? Did the bakery discuss a sign off? Yes, it would have been a nice thing to approve the cake ahead of time, and having a late deliver made that impossible.
3) Navy ribbon turned black. Yeah, that would tick me off a bit. In the grand scheme of things, its not a BIG deal. But its also gestault . (the whole is greater than the sum of the parts) .. by itself its not a big thing, but combined with all the other issues .
4) Forced to serve the cake. Mom was between a rock and a hard spot. If youre only serving cake and punch, its very difficult to make the call to serve just punch. She had about 7 seconds to make a decision. Had the cake been delivered earlier, when mom had a chance to see the cake, she wouldnt have felt the need to be forced to serve the cake.
4a) Ideally, mom could have called the bakery and told them the issues, advising them she had to serve it because she had no choice, but was putting them on alert that there was an issue. However, having been the mother of the bride, this option was probably not even on her radar. And depending on the time, some places may be closed at that time? And its not like the guests can eat the buffet while waiting on a replacement cake since its a cake-n-punch-only reception.
5) Wrong design. Ok, this is a biggie. How off was the design? Kinda off or not even close? If I ordered basketweave and got dots and scrolls, I wouldnt be inclined to pay for it. Especially if I felt forced to serve it.
6) Frozen cake. Big red flag to me. Cake thaws in just a couple of hours. Many of us work with frozen cakes all the time. This sounds like a last minute cake.
So combine the frozen cake, wrong design, last minute delivery . It sounds like the cake was almost forgotten about and someone went Oh crap! We have a cake due in 2 hours!
Individually, all of the issues are almost (!) no big deal. But when you have all of these issues in the same cake, it IS a big deal.
Defintely have a discussion with the bakery asap. This isn't "the color doesn't match the inside seam of my dresses so now the wedding is RUINED!" thing. THere are real issues that need resolved here.
The cake was to be iced in white buttercream and then detailed with dots and scrolls with a ribbon added at the bottom of each layer. There was a picture taken in to the bakery when the cake was ordered.
The cake was just plain white buttercream with the ribbon. The tiers were also shorter than originally discussed. There were no other decorative elements included unless you count the cake that was showing through the icing.
Yeah, that definitely sounds like they forgot about it until the last second. Call them up. If they're not open today because its Sunday, then show up first thing tomorrow morning and ask to speak to the manager.
That's complete BS. I'm very sorry for your sister that the cake was a flop, especially since it was the main part of the reception

Omitted decors. Another flag that sounds like a last minute cake just "slapped together".
Do you have a pic? I would be upset, I can understand something going wrong here or there but the fact that all of these things went wrong together in one combined cake, it definitely deserves to be addressed. As a baker, I'd "like" to say she should only get something like a 50% refund but as the client, she got no element of the cake that she asked for, it seems to me that the bakery should take a loss on it. Definitely talk to them and see where they stand.
Hubby says .....
"I would HOPE the bakery says they forgot about this cake. Because if this is an example of their standard work, then they do really bad work!"
Your sister's story is the reason why I went into baking the cakes for my family. My niece's wedding cake was an inedible disaster. The cake tasted like it was in the freezer, unprotected. It was dry with a funny smell to it.
The bakery she went to was open on Sunday, so I called and raised some noise about it, on her behalf. I spoke to the clerk, the manager, and the owner. By the time I was done, we were making our own delivery - about 150 servings of a 200 serve cake. I showed the owner the inside of an uncut tier, which was crumbling like a disintegrating foam cushion. We got half the money back, which, at the time, seemed reasonable.
There will never be a next time in our family.

Wholeheartedly agree! I would follow this advice.
If I am contracted to deliver a cake with Navy ribbon, I am delivering Navy ribbon, and not a shade other. I always take precautions to ensure the ribbon stays exactly the shade it was on the spool. Always. I don't discount the severity of ANY detail, big or small. I don't decide what is big or small.
My dear Indydebi:
I know that you are on the fence being that you feel for both sides. I understand that.
That being said, now take a step back. Hypothetical: you are a non-caker, this didn't happen to a family member. How would you feel about it then.
Or, you are the baker, you delivered this cake. What would you expect to hear from your customer.
I can understand your feeling for the bakery; however, if the bakery gave a damn, they would have delivered what was ordered.
If it was my cake for a customer, I would have been mortified that the design was wrong, the flavor was wrong, the ribbon was greased, the cake was late. It may not be the owner, it may have been the employees, either way; if it were me, I would want to be notified that the job was not satisfactory and would want to make good on it.
If I received that cake on my wedding day, I would have cried too. There are certain things that shouldn't be compromised, the dress, the caterer, and the cake. I don't mean that there were five roses on top instead of six, but how much was the design compromised in its entirety? Was it totally different from what was ordered? And the flavor was not what was ordered? Major faux pas there. And on top of that, the cake was dry as you stated.
I can understand that you don't want to make it hard on the bakery, but professional decorators, as you know are held to high standards when it comes to a wedding (the most important day of a young woman's life). They dropped the ball and bride suffered. They should be held accountable for their thoughtlessness.
Just my unsolicited opinion. Let us know how it turns out. I'm rooting for the bride on this one.
I am so freaking careful to the point of obsession.
Wow!! Sounds like a Wal-Mart cake! Frozen cakes, poor design, bad base icing, & greased ribbon... Sounds just like the walmart down the road from me!
I do have pictures, but seeing as how I don't know the baker personally, I don't know if she's a CCer and I hesitate to post them, as I don't want to start WWIII.
BTW...the bakery is very small, just one woman baking for her own shop. So I don't think it's any miscommunication or the fault of anyone else not doing as they were told.
I don't know what to think, b/c if it had been me, I would have NEVER delivered a cake that looked like that. And I'm not even a "real" caker, I just do it for fun and family. But the only part about the cake that was really right was the topper, and that's only b/c we made it, we put it together, and we delivered it to her. All she had to do was set it on top of the cake!
Too much went wrong with that cake. Completely wrong design and inedible, I think thats a full refund.
I wonder, as the cake was showing through, if you just got a crumbcoat.
OMG - The cake was due TODAY?!?
Grab the crumbcoated cake out of the freezer, slap the ribbon on and deliver?
I can see that scenario having this result.
This appears to be a cake that was TOTALLY forgotten until the LAST minute. You must contact her ASAP and discuss the situation. With so many different things having gone wrong, your family should not let this go unaddressed. I feel badly for the baker, but in this case your mom/sister is the consumer and have the right to expect a product to be as ordered.
Not to hijack this thread, but how do you all keep grease from the buttercream soaking thru the ribbon? I've never been able to keep it from doing that very thing.
I want to apologize to Indydebi and the OP. I thought this happened to someone in Indydebi's family. That's what I get for jumping in right after a nap. My apologies to both of you. My original post was directed to the original poster, not Indydebi. Back to my packing, we just bought a new house and packing and cleaning adds to my 'brain scramble.' A thousand pardons.
Eisskween, I must not have worded it properly because I am NOT on the bakery's side on this at all. I think they screwed up and they screwed up big.
What I was trying to show that some of the things, by themselves, does not a disaster make. For example, the cake arrived later than expected. It was there for the reception so no disaster. BUT ...... ! Had it been delivered on time, there would have been time to see it beforehand, to have that discussion of "This isnt' my cake!" etc.
By itself, the ribbon being the wrong color is not a disaster, but combined with everything else wrong with the cake, it's just another example of the lack of .... well, EVERYTHING! .... with this cake.
As a customer, I would be totally ticked and would expect a good sized restitution. Not only did I not get the cake I ordered, but the quality was lower than what was sampled, it was 'almost' inedible since it was frozen, and worst of all, I was embarrassed in front of my family and friends on my (and/or my daughter's) wedding day.
As the baker, I would be mortfied that I had screwed up a wedding cake that bad, and the BEST I could do would be to apologize profusely and offer a full refund with the hopes that they won't bad-mouth near as bad as they tell this story (as I know they will ... over and over).
I totally agree with everything in your post. In my attempt to try to see it in an unemotional view, I guess I didn't get my thoughts across very well.
Thanks for letting me try to clear that up!
Indydebi: Do you think that the bakery delivered it late to avoid conflict because they knew the cake was screwed up and wanted to avoid conflict because the celebration had started?
Not being accusatory, but with so many problems with it, you have to wonder. It being frozen is a big tipoff that is was haphazard and slapped together.
There are unscrupulous people out there, in all walks that are only interested in the paycheck and not quality work.
Just my crazy brain again....I'll shut up now.
Indydebi: Do you think that the bakery delivered it late to avoid conflict because they knew the cake was screwed up and wanted to avoid conflict because the celebration had started?
I don't know. Based on what we know, it sounds like it was forgotten until the last minute (i.e. frozen cake). I would venture a guess that they were GLAD to see no one from the family in there when they delivered it. but whether it was intentional or not, i don't know.
I didn't read everythihng and I think I avoided some drama but--For what it's worth I agree with Indy on both counts that it probably was some kind of last minute forgotten cake--whether it was delivered late on purpose kinda doesn't matter so much does it. I don't think we can really draw the conclusion that it was to avoid people.
I mean somebody's gonna see it eventually.
This might already have been covered--was there a cake tasting?

Hey K8, I didn't recognize you there. LOL No drama dear, just questions and statements regarding a less than expected cake.
They didn't say whether there was a tasting or not, but if you choose a flavor, you should get that flavor.
Are you enjoying the heat wave. The humidity is so bad here, you could cut through it with a knife. UGH!
Actually, the OP did state that there was a cake tasting. The cake received was partially frozen, parts were dry, and the icing job was so bad that the cake was showing through. The requested scrolls and dots were not put on the sides of the cake and the navy blue ribbon applied around the cake was grease soaked. The MOB had not choice but to serve the cake, as it was a cake and punch only reception.

Main agenda
Chef: Container Automation with Habitat
Containers provide a delightful development experience. It's easy to download a container image and get started writing code. But it's a different story when you have to run containers in production at scale. That's when all the hidden complexities become apparent and the real challenges begin. What tools are you going to use to build, deploy, run, and manage your containerized applications? How are you going to manage difference between environments like staging and production with a fleet of immutable objects? How will you effectively scale containerized applications once you've deployed them?
Habitat, our open-source project for application automation, simplifies container management by packaging applications in a compact, atomic, and easily auditable format that makes it easier to deploy your application on various container runtimes. Once your applications are deployed, the Habitat supervisor simplifies the complexities of running in production environments with built-in abstractions for functions typically handled by external tooling, such as dynamic scaling and rolling updates.
Join us for this workshop to learn how Habitat can help you overcome these obstacles as you look to implement container based solutions. Attendees will learn about Habitat's container build system, how to package and application with Habitat, and how to run this packaged application leveraging Habitat's service supervisor.

After two years of heated discussions, a related veto and multiple votes, Davenport City Council members on Wednesday unanimously approved lease and parking agreements for the riverfront Dock project.
The approval comes despite a recommendation by the Davenport Levee Improvement Commission to deny the lease agreement.
Davenport Mayor Bill Gluba who vetoed the council-approved development agreement with developer Todd Raufeisen said after the meeting that he is not intending to use his veto authority on the lease agreement.
"My veto of the development agreement was overridden 10-0, and a veto of the lease agreement would be, too," Gluba said. "I still disagree with the decision. I still think a smaller building owned by the city and leased out is the way to go. Public park property should remain in the domain of the public."
Speaking after the meeting, Raufeisen said that beyond the 14-day waiting period, he is ready to go.
"Once we have a signed lease, we'll wrap up financing," Raufeisen said. "We've been fully engaged with tenants and in talking with the restaurants on the first floor."
He expects the restaurants' drawings to be done the week of Sept. 8. He added that it will take three months for the detailed architectural drawings to be done for the agreed-upon 41,000 square-foot building.
"We'll bring everything to the level of detail that a lot of people claimed they knew but didn't know," Raufeisen said.
Once the drawings are done, the building then will go to bid, he said. When completed, 68 percent of the building will be restaurant and entertainment space, and 32 percent will be office space, he added.
During Wednesday's meeting, aldermen voted to take the leasing and parking agreements off the consent agenda so there could be more public comment. Ten people spoke against the project, including two members of the Davenport Levee Improvement Commission.
Among them was new Levee Commissioner Anne Corbi who told the council that while she supports the city's RiverVision plan, she said the Dock development, "Is too big and too close to the water."
In response to a number of comments about the size of the building, Alderman Bill Boom, 3rd Ward, said that he has, "Never seen so much disinformation in my life come out of this project."
The building is 41,000 square-feet, and the city is providing a platform on which the project is to be built, he said. It also fits flood plain management criteria.
Aldermen voted 8-2 against the lease payments going to the Levee Commission, with Boom and Ray Ambrose, 4th Ward, being the two yes votes.
Alderman Kerri Tompkins, 8th Ward, said that for the project to take two years to get to this point sends a bad message to future developers, which could cost the city economic opportunities. "Our goal is to grow," she said.
Raufeisen said that the two-year process has been, "very unique, and I'll leave it at that."
However, he remains excited for the project. "I think it's going to be way cool," Raufeisen said. "A lot of people want the Dock back, and we're excited to bring it back."

Watch Rhys Millen Set a new Pikes Peak Record
Last weekend, Rhys Millen set the record as the fastest driver to ascend Pike's Peak in history. His time was 9:46.
But some would say that it isn't as impressive as it should be for one reason: this was also the first year where the entire course was paved. Still, considering the track is 13 miles long and involves driving more than 6,700 feet to the mountain's 14,000 foot peak it's no small feat.
It's also important to remember that the course involves lots of blind turns without guard rails. If you're still not impressed, watch the footage from inside the car.

There are differences between business opportunities, and there are also financial markets that are larger than others. Forex is the biggest currency trading platform in the world.
You should remember to never trade based on your emotions. If you let greed, panic or euphoria get in the way, it can cause trouble. If your emotions guide your trading, you will end up taking too much risk and will eventually fail.
Do not let emotions get involved in Forex. This will reduce your risk level and prevent poor decisions based on spur of the moment impulses. You need to make rational when it comes to making trade decisions.
Always discuss your opinions with other traders, but keep your own judgment as the final decision maker. While it's always good to take other's opinions into account, you should trust your own judgement when it comes to investments.
Do not trade on a market that is rarely talked about.A "thin market" is defined as a market in which few people pay attention.
Forex trading robots are not a good idea for profitable trading. This may help the sellers, but it will not help the buyers. Think about the trades you are making, and decide where to allocate your funds by yourself.
Create goals and keep them.Set goals and a date by which you want to reach them in Foreign Exchange trading.
Make use of a variety of Forex charts, but especially the 4-hour or daily charts. With technology these days you can know what's going on with the market and charts faster than ever. Unfortunately, the smaller the time frame, the more erratic and hard to follow the movements become. Don't get too excited about the normal fluctuations of the forex market.
Vary the positions every time you trade. Some traders always open with the identically sized position and end up investing more or less money than is advisable.
If you lose a trade, resist the urge to seek vengeance. Similarly, never let yourself get greedy when you are doing well. Forex trading, if done based on emotion, can be a quick way to lose money.
You are not required to pay for an automated software system just to practice trading on a demo account. You can simply go to the central foreign exchange site and get an account.
Forex should not be treated as a game. People who are delving into Forex just for the fun of it are making a big mistake. They should gamble in a casino instead.
You should choose an account package based on your knowledge and what you expect to do with the account. You have to think realistically and acknowledge your limitations are. It will take time for you to acquire expertise in the trading and to become good at it. It is commonly accepted that a lower leverages are better. A practice account is generally better for beginners since it has little to no risk.Begin cautiously and gradually and learn the tricks and tips of trading.
A lot of people think that the market can see stop loss markers, and that it causes currency values to fall below these markers before beginning to rise again. This is not true. Running trades without stop-loss markers can be a very dangerous proposition.
Do not get suckered into buying Forex robots or books that promise quick returns and untold riches. Virtually all these products offer Forex techniques that have actually been tested or proven. The one person that makes any real money from these types of products are the people selling them. You will get the most bang for your money on lessons from professional Forex traders.
Learning to properly place a stop loss on your foreign exchange trades is more art than science. It's important to balance facts and technical details with your own feeling inside to be a successful trader. Just like anything else in life, to be successful at trading it takes quite a bit of trial and error to reach the goals you wish to achieve.
New forex traders get pretty excited about trading and give everything they have in the process. Most individuals can only give trading their high-quality focus for a short amount of time when it comes to trading.
Find your own way in the Forex market, and trust your instincts. This is the best way to become successful within the foreign exchange market.
The opposite is actually the reverse. Having an exit strategy can help you withstand your natural impulses.
One of the best pieces of advice any forex trader can receive is to never give up. No trader can have good luck forever. Staying power is what will make a successful trader. Even if there does not seem to be light at the end of the tunnel, keep walking and you will see it eventually.
Stop Loss Orders
The relative strength index can tell you what the average loss or gain is on a particular market. This may not reflect your own returns, but it should give some indication of the attractiveness of the particular market. If a typically unprofitable market has caught your eye as worthy of investment, you should probably think twice.
You should always be using stop loss orders when you investments. Stop loss orders prevent you from letting your trades. Your capital can be protected if you initiate the stop loss order.
Begin your Forex trading career by opening a mini account. This helps you keep your losses down while also allowing you to practice trading. Although trading with small amounts of cash may seem pointless now, the practice you get from this trading will be invaluable when it is time to open up a full, unrestricted broker account.
Don't diversify your portfolio too quickly when you are first start out. The major currency pair are appropriate for a good place to start. Avoid confusing yourself by trading across several different markets. This could make you reckless, recklessness or both, and those will only lead to trouble.
Learn the secrets to proper Forex trading one step at a time. You need to be patient, else you could end up costing yourself quite a lot of money.
Exchange market signals are a useful tools for buying and when it is time to sell.Most good software can track signals and give you an automatic warning when they detect the market reaches a certain rate.
When you are just getting started in trading, be sure to keep your systems simple. A complicated trading system will only serve to confuse you and compound any problems you might have. As a biginner, start with the methods that you understand. Then, as your experience expands, start building on what you know. This will help you keep focus and allow your business to grow naturally and successfully.
The relative strength index (RSI) is used to find the gain or loss average of a good idea about gains and losses. You will want to reconsider getting into a market if you are thinking about investing in an unprofitable market.
Keep a notebook on your person when you travel. You never know when you will run across useful market information, so this way you will always be prepared to record such tidbits. A notebook can help you keep a record of how things are going. You can then review the information in your journal to see how good it is.
The tips you've read are all used by real forex experts who have real success. Of course, there are no guarantees in any trading arena, but hopefully the tips you learn will increase the chances of your individual success. Use the information you have read in this article and you'll be on your way to successful trading.
As a trade market beginner, avoid trading against the trends. Avoid picking highs or lows that are opposed to the market. Go with the flow and react calmly to market changes. If you fight the trends, you'll turn into a giant ball of stress, and probably lose money in the process.

Cameron Holiday Fruit Salad
Recipe by jkoch960
This is a delicious fruit salad that my mother made every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was the only time she made it so we always looked forward to it. It is all very simple ingredients and makes up quickly. Do allow for some chill time to allow the flavors to blend. The coconut (and cherries) are optional.
Top Review by Sydney Mike
Made this recipe as indicated, but was very satisfied with the various fruit flavors here ~ VERY, VERY NICE! However, instead of adding the banana to the entire salad, & sliced half a banana over the top of each serving! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar tag]
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (4 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drain and reserve the juice
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
- 1 (4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained
- 1 -2 cup sweetened coconut
- 1 -2 banana, sliced
Directions See How It's Made
- Mix all ingredients together except the bananas, including a small amount of the reserved pineapple juice. Refrigerate for a good couple of hours.
- It is not necessary to use the whole jar of marschino cherries; I usually use maybe half. I show the amount of coconut as 1-2 cups as our family is split 50-50 on coconut so we always make 2 batches; one with coconut and one without. So if you are making only half a batch with coconut, use only 1 cup of the coconut.
- Just before serving, slice bananas and add to the salad.

AI know BC keeps at room temp, but how long can I leave it out if I mix in fresh strawberries? I need it for Sunday... Would like to frost cupcakes Friday night. (The recipe calls for just butter, no shortening, in case that makes a diff in its freshness?) Please advise :) Thanks in advance!
APersonally I wouldn't frost with that until Sunday morning. Even if it didn't have berries in it, that's too long for me, to expect them to be nice and fresh.
Agreed! Fresh strawberries go bad FAST! I never even buy them until the day before I need them.
AOk- frost Sunday morning it is! Thanks for the input.
AActually, one more thing- being that I am pressed for time, is it acceptable to whip it up Saturday night, put in fridge, then on Sunday am, bring to room temp, re-whip, and then frost?
AYou really can't get up an hour earlier and chop your berries or whatever you do with them? Your idea is probably ok, but I'd want to wait.
ALol A half hour earlier would be 4:30am.... So... I'm losing my enthusiasm about this little project and may just do plain bc. Thanks!

When Apple unveiled the highly anticipated iPad Mini with Retina Display just a few short weeks ago, Apple executives was purposefully vague as to any release details. All we heard was that it was scheduled to launch sometime in mid-late November. Indeed, if you check out the iPad Mini with Retina Display page on Apple.com, the top thing you see is that the device is "coming in November."
Well, folks, if you have your eye on Apple's second-gen iPad Mini, you may be able to pick it up a whole lot sooner than you think. How does this Tuesday work for ya?
According to MacRumors, which itself cites a number of sources, Apple's new iPad Mini will be hitting stores in six countries on Tuesday. The countries rumored to be receiving the iPad Mini treatment include Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and, of course, the United States.
Interestingly enough, at the time of the writing (Monday evening), Apple's online store just so happens to be down. So keep your eyes peeled for updates tomorrow as the iPad Mini with Retina Display will likely be in short supply throughout the holiday season. Rumor has it that Sharp is having yield issues with the high-res display.
If the rumor is indeed true, expect an official press release from Apple to hit the wires first thing on Tuesday.

I created a monitor in Spiceworks that tells me when a particular router goes offline and when it comes back online. This monitor has been triggered many times since I created it because the connection is having issues. My question is, now that Spiceworks has collected a lot of data about the connection status via this monitor, how can I run a report detailing the activity of that monitor? I wish to utilize this data to see if there are any trends (is it going down only at certain times of the day, etc.). Thanks in advance to the PRO that has the answer!
This topic was created during version 5.0.

StormSoft, Inc. is an IT service provider.
So, is there no built in method to run a report about a Monitor? It seems like such a basic thing that there would be a button somewhere to at least view the Timeline of a Monitor which I could then print. I can already see the times when the Monitor was triggered in the Timeline box on the Dashboard but it shows everything from all Monitors as well as inventory events, etc. The router having the problem, like everything else in the inventory, has its own Timeline view but the Monitor events related to that router are not listed there. In fact, it seems like just about everything in Spiceworks has its own Timeline view except for Montiors. Am I just missing something here?

Arthuna is one of the most visited places of Banswara district and is a site of great archaeological importance. It has a complex having various exquisitely designed temples built in the 11th and 12th centuries. Many shrines that have been excavated here reveal the glorious past of India's rich heritage. Owing to a large number of temples present here, though, Arthuna is often referred to as the village of old and broken temples. The region served as the capital to Parmar rulers in the ancient times.
