01-22-2013, 11:10 AM #17Oh, I am not doubting you in any way. I am just stating that my manual does not indicate the (-). I would always use a multimeter to figure out what was going on before i attempted any mods/repairs on an electrical system. I have seen way too many inconsistencies in wiring diagrams to trust anything 100%
01-22-2013, 11:12 AM #18That's also pretty dang true. Always double check with a meter, I second that. I will say, GM has been awesome with their consistency on our trucks, I always loved working on our trucks when they came in the shop. I always knew what I was getting good or bad
01-26-2013, 10:27 AM #19I decided to go for a connection at the dimmer switch in the cab just because it's a place I knew I could easily probe. After removing my sound deadening material, cutting new material to fit (for when I finish), and probing/testing with a multi-meter, here's the verdict:
The wire (at the dimer switch) is brown with a white stripe and is NOT a negative trigger.Last edited by SurrealOne; 01-27-2013 at 07:45 PM.

Joliet murder victim's friends keep his memory alive
By Janet Lundquist firstname.lastname@example.com November 7, 2012 2:00PM
Michael T. Eberle
Updated: January 10, 2013 1:46AM
Two women sat in the front row of the Will County courtroom, one of them holding up photos of their dead friend so the man charged with his murder would see them.
Michael T. Eberle, 42, is accused of beating Patrick Shaughnessy to death in March after he broke into a Joliet burial vault company's building.
Eberle's public defender said Wednesday he would like the court to appoint a neuro-forensic psychologist to evaluate whether Eberle is mentally fit to stand trial.
Standing in the hall outside the courtroom, tears rolled down Suzanne Knauer's cheeks as she spoke about Shaughnessy, the 69-year-old man who was like a second grandfather to her grandchildren.
"I want (Eberle) to know someone is standing up for the person's life he took, and he's not going to forget it," she said.
"My kids were his kids," Knauer said.
"And he was ours," added her daughter, Chrissy Fisk of Joliet.
Eberle was arrested for Shaughnessy's slaying in March.
The morning of March 25, Shorewood police said a homeowner confronted Eberle allegedly trying to break into his house.
Eberle then ran to a house in unincorporated Troy Township where he stole a black pickup by driving it through the garage door, police said. The truck was found abandoned a short time later on the northwest frontage road of Interstate 55 near Black Road.
About an hour later, an employee of Knauer's Industries, 19515 Northeast Frontage Road, arrived for work and scuffled with a man who was coming out of the business.
The employee called police. Officers discovered Shaughnessy's body inside the business. Police believe Shaughnessy, who worked for Knauer at the vault company, interrupted Eberle as he burglarized the business and that Eberle beat him to death.
A court-appointed clinical psychologist was not able to determine whether Eberle understands what is going on with his case, his lawyer said.
Eberle also has a history of abusing synthetic stimulants known as "bath salts," which can cause brain damage as well as hallucinations and psychosis, his lawyer said.
Will County Judge Richard C. Schoenstedt agreed to give Eberle's attorney until Dec. 13 to find a neuro-forensic psychologist who could be appointed to evaluate Eberle.
This will be the first holiday season the Knauer family will celebrate without Shaughnessy, who Knauer said was an "adopted member of our family."
Knauer said she will not miss any of Eberle's court dates. Each time, she sits in the front row of the gallery, holds up photos of Shaughnessy and takes notes in a cloth-covered book.
"I try to show a different picture every time," she said. "No person deserves to die like that."

Newly-appointed Hull FC captain Gareth Ellis was sensationally ruled out of tonight's Super League opener against champions Leeds Rhinos just minutes before kick-off.
The England and former Leeds forward, who was set to make an eagerly-awaited return to Super League after a four-year stint in Australia with Wests Tigers, injured an ankle in the warm-up and was promptly withdrawn.
Hull coach Peter Gentle was forced to re-shuffle his line-up, with Richard Whiting coming off the bench to take Ellis' second-row spot and Chris Green promoted from 18th man to the bench.

For a long time Microsoft has offered the capability of on-premises Live Communications Server, Office Communications Server and Lync Server deployments to federate with AOL for instant messaging. In order to use AOL federation there were certain basic requirements that had to be met:
In order to use PIC federation you had to have the appropriate licenses, just as you must have the appropriate Client Access Licenses in order to use Lync, Exchange, SharePoint or any other Microsoft software. Most customers would see this cost included as part and parcel of their Enterprise Agreements with Microsoft, so while some people may dislike the cost of Enterprise Agreements, Microsoft is including a vast amount of functionality (PIC included) to you at a reasonable cost.
Microsoft has largely handled the PIC provisioning process through their PIC website, whereby you simply request the public IM providers you want to federate with and Microsoft handles all the coordination and enablement on the back end. Having Microsoft handle the coordination was a "single throat to choke" but it often resulted in longer setup times as it could take up to 30 days for the services to be available once the request was submitted.
Microsoft announced earlier this year that the PIC agreements with Yahoo! and AOL were not being renewed, meaning customers would either A) lose their ability to federate with those providers or B) have to look at third-party solutions to keep the federation alive. The EOL date for the Microsoft PIC agreements is June 30, 2014, so the clock has been ticking ever since the announcement was made. AOL recently stepped up to the plate and announced that they will begin offering direct federation for Lync customers through their PIC website, a welcome change of heart that allows customers to "keep the lights on" between their on-premises Lync deployments and the AOL cloud. Additionally, the provisioning process allowed customers to contact AOL directly and negate the need to request provisioning through Microsoft. Reading all this you would think this is a "Win-Win" situation, but as the old saying goes, the "Devil is in the details"…
I recently went through this provisioning process with a customer and discovered that the new AOL PIC federation service is not free and actually costs you additional monthly fees on top of what you've already paid for your Lync CALs. For this customer it would have cost them $10 per user, per month to use the AOL federation service. Add this up over a year and you could have substantial increases in your operating expenses to support AOL federation. On the plus side, however, AOL includes written SLAs as part of the service and offers customers various tiers of support for service incidents. Note: Should you decide to use AOL federation your fees could be different as AOL had different levels of fees based on the number of Lync users whom you wanted to have AOL federation enabled for.
The fact that Microsoft included these costs within Enterprise Agreements was both a blessing and a curse – it meant that some customers would grumble about the costs, but it also meant that customers could simply take advantage of all the included features without a second thought. Now that Microsoft will no longer have an agreement in place after June 30, 2014, the true cost of the federation has now come to the surface and I have to admit that the AOL federation rose has some thorns. I can certainly understand that AOL has infrastructure and operational costs associated with this service so a fee is understandable, but some folks (myself included) might question if connectivity with AOL services is worth the cost they charge you, especially considering that only instant messaging is available. Skype, on the other hand, offers IM & audio federation with Lync (with video coming in the near future), so the value proposition of AOL seems to be eroding when compared to Skype.
Is AOL federation worth it? That's up to you to decide…but suddenly Skype seems a lot more attractive to me!
Every year, Microsoft awards a group of Developer MVPs with an additional recognition. It has become a tradition to recognize those MVPs who have demonstrated exceptional community effort by inviting them to a special dinner during the yearly MVP Summit event located at the Redmond headquarters. Technical Fellows Anders Hejlsberg and Brian Harry were hosts to this year's event which celebrated 29 community leaders during the Developer MVP Recognition Dinner. This year, our own Jason Follas was awarded with this special recognition for his effort and dedication to the technical community in Microsoft's Heartland District and beyond.
The MVPs recognized were selected through a selection processed handled by key Microsoft employees and more importantly, Jason's peers in the MVP community. Jason is a dedicated community member who gives a lot of time and energy to user groups and technical conferences; he is one of the organizers behind the Day of .NET in Ann Arbor, in addition to CodeMash. Jason is also a leader for the Northwest Ohio .NET User Group in Toledo and is currently an Architect in the Detroit LBU. Congratulations Jason!
On a recent client engagement working with an existing Sitecore multi-site instance, a discussion took place on how to better manage the current translations process. The primary issue to be resolved was the overwriting of translation values on deployments. This was happening for translations entered during a specific time window between deployment label creation and actual deployments of site changes to the production environment.
The current architecture currently contains a custom translation resolver and a specific translation dictionary within the Sitecore content tree. This translation dictionary is shared among several sites and these sites cover several different regions.
In the November 2011 Cumulative Update of Lync 2010, Microsoft added the ability to disable file transfers via the edge server. This feature enhancement undoubtedly was the result of customers voicing concerns about data loss protection and was a welcomed addition to the IT administrator's arsenal. In short, the feature allowed administrators to block all file transfers that would traverse an organization's edge server but allowed file transfers within the confines of the internal network (assuming the user was assigned a conference policy that allowed it).
In Lync 2010, to block all file transfers on the edge server you would use the following command:
new-csfiletransferfilterconfiguration -identity edgeserver:pia-ls2013-ed01.widgets.com -blockfileextension $true -action blockall -enabled $true
The same file transfer blocking capabilities exist in Lync 2013, but the commands are a bit different from what was used in Lync 2010.
In Lync 2013, to block all file transfers on the edge server you would use the following command:
new-csfiletransferfilterconfiguration -identity edgeserver:pia-ls2013-ed01.widgets.com -action blockall -enabled $true
There is a common perception that age is a defining factor in how enterprise users adjust to, and engage with, enterprise social networking tools. The problem, so the folk wisdom goes, is that older users are slower to adopt newer, "cutting edge" software (translation: consumer-like UI and functionality) because they are averse to change (translation: stodgy) and comfortable with what they have (translation: complacent).
Poppycock, says Yammer. (Go on, admit it, wouldn't it be great to hear David or Adam get up at the next SharePoint Conference or YamJam and and say "Poppycock!" to a critic?)
Their research has shown that the demographics of age are less of a factor in enterprise social adoption than people think. If you doubt that statement, go check and see if your mother-in-law is on Facebook and get back to me. Mine is. In fact, she's probably 'liking' a photo of my daughter right now.
Where there's been resistance to enterprise social, it's been more about a question of how people work, Yammer tells us. Their research shows that older 'information workers' (i.e., people who are used to interacting with knowledge in a give-and-take fashion) tend to adopt social tools in much the same frequency as younger information workers. It is those used to a process-based approach to work that often resist.
While older workers are far more likely to be comfortable with a process-based approach– because hey, that's how they grew up in business– there are also younger users (translation: engineers, project managers, etc.) who fit that bill as well. The key to helping anyone with a process focus to become a successful user of social tools is in giving them a single use case where the social tool makes life easier than whatever they're using today.
People will nearly always adopt a new tool when it is easier to use than the old tool. That takes research, requirements analysis and planning– it's not instantaneous but it's worth the effort!
Being able to create multiple application deployment types with Configuration Manager is a great feature. This gives you the ability to have one application built to suite many deployment needs, such as MSI, Script, AppV, Citrix or multiple languages. While this is a great feature there is one issue with the new release of Configuration Manager 2012 R2 I have come across.
While creating new applications, I started to notice many were not giving me the ability to select uninstall the button was grayed out while other applications worked fine. I then proceeded to verify uninstall was setup correctly, and if any of the installs were set as required. The one thing I did noticed was all the applications that were having the uninstall issue all had multiple deployment types. So I said to myself (SELF) what if I removed all the deployment types except one, and guess what, now I can uninstall the application. So after this chat with myself, I decided to try the same thing on all of the other applications that I have this issue with and now I can use the uninstall feature on them as well.
My theory was that if you have multiple deployment types you lose the ability to uninstall applications. I decided to test this in our lab on an older version of Configuration Manager 2012, and found I had no issues with the ability to uninstall applications when you have multiple deployments created for the same app.
So this appears to be a bug or an issue in SCCM 2012 R2. I did read a articles stating that this is an issue at this time, Microsoft is working on a fix. So for now if you have multiple deployment types created with SCCM 2012 R2 for a application you will not be able to use the uninstall feature, the button will be grayed out.
I will do a follow up to this post once I get conformation this issue has been resolved.
Happy Application Packaging….
Here are some screen shots of my testing.

Last week, Perficient and Clarity teamed up for the webinar, "Maximizing Your Lync Investment in the Contact Center." Matt McGillen, Director of Infrastructure at Perficient, and Craig Reishus, Director of Business Development at Clarity, showed attendees how they can extend Lync to other business units, easily adding functionality to an existing Lync environment.
First, Matt showed why people are choosing Lync, and how Lync is truly modernizing communications. It's allowing people to work from anywhere, thereby enabling and improving mobile productivity. It's providing users with connected experiences, enabling new ways of collaboration with voice and video on a single unified client. And it's simpler to manage with deployment flexibility. When it comes to the latest version, Lync 2013, organizations are choosing it for a multitude of reasons, including:
Next, Craig showed attendees Clarity Connect, Clarity's robust contact center solution that natively extends Lync's capabilities. Clarity Connect is built on high level APIs, with the call never leaving Lync. It is delivered to the Lync client. The solution allows organizations to simplify administration and decrease costs, without sacrificing on functionality or user experience. During Craig's presentation, he demonstrated the features that come standard out-of-the-box, including call recording, and walked through the rich, dynamic dashboard. He also explained the licensing model, which is derived from the quantity of three variables: concurrent channels, support agents, and servers. The pricing is all inclusive – there are no separate costs for the number of call centers that you have.
Matt and Craig finished their presentations with time to answer many of the great questions that came in during the session. You can watch the entire webinar, including the Clarity Connect demo and Q&A portion, here.
Simply put, Lync does not support certificates that are issued using the Cryptography API: Next Generation providers. At the time of this writing, Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 only support certificates that are issued using legacy Cryptography API providers. To determine if your certificate was issued with CryptoAPI:NG support, use these quick instructions:
Using certutil.exe, you can examine the information about the certificate.
Certutil.exe –v –store my "certificateserialnumber"
A lot of data will be returned, but you need concern yourself with only a single piece of that information. If you do a search and find Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider, then your certificate has been issued using the new CryptoAPI:NG provider and won't work with Lync.
If you say to yourself, "So what!? I'm going to use the certificate anyway!"… Attempting to assign a certificate that is used using the CryptoAPI:NG providers within Lync will result in an error and the certificate cannot be used:
An error occurred: "System.Security.Crpytography.Cryptographic.Exception" "The buffer supplied to a function was too small."
This past Wednesday, we hosted a webinar, "Using Yammer and SharePoint Intranets to Drive Employee Engagement." During the session, Rich Wood, Director of Web & Social Collaboration at Perficient, first gave a quick overview on the enterprise social network and Yammer, and then went on discuss user adoption and engagement. He covered what exactly a social strategy entails, and the importance of a social maturity assessment, complete with a social toolset recommendation, community planning and a communication plan. Throughout the webinar, we shared some of Rich's highlights on Twitter @Perficient_MSFT:
Rich explained that when it comes to adoption (he prefers the term engagement), training is crucial, yet surprisingly rare today. That said, learning from coworkers is among the most common AND most effective learning methods. While organic growth is bottom up, and organizational mandate is top down, and both have their advantages and disadvantages – but the key is in the planning.
With Yammer, familiarity breeds usability. Yammer looks like Facebook, as Rich pointed out. If you know how to use Facebook (as the vast majority of us do), then you intrinsically know how to use Yammer. Read the rest of this post »
What is Platform as a Service (PaaS)? How does it differ from Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas)?
Let's start with IaaS. When "The Cloud" first became popular IaaS was the target. The point of IaaS is to migrate a company data center into Windows Azure. This involves converting whatever physical servers you have to Hyper-V virtual machines and upload the contents to Azure(or sending them via FedEx for Microsoft to upload). While this process is cumbersome and time consuming it does work and has some great benefits. The next step in this process is to create a secured link between your former data center and the Azure data center. Doing this will allow your users connectivity to all of their pre-existing applications. In fact, your users should not even notice that the data center has been moved. Everything should operate exactly how it did prior to the migration. Depending on the size of your infrastructure IaaS has the ability to save you time, space, money and will allow IT admins to breathe easy knowing they don't have to be overly concerned with server hardware failure. From that perspective, IaaS saves you money because you have zero server maintenance / replacement cost. Another benefit of IaaS is that all of your existing third party software is guaranteed to work on IaaS. If a business has an old Citrix application that is critical for the accounting team, then migrating to IaaS will guarantee that application still works as expected. The problem with IaaS is that you are still running an entire infrastructure. IT will still have to manage the servers, Active Directory, patches, and updates. In short, you aren't benefiting from a lot of the major benefits of the cloud.
PaaS aims to solve that.
PaaS in Azure is synonymous with "Cloud Service". The target of PaaS is custom business applications that will replace your existing third party software infrastructure. These applications can be written in either .NET or Java. In PaaS you essentially rent the hardware the application runs on. Renting the hardware means you do not have administrative access to the virtual machines powering the application. The permissions are set so that Remote Desktop to the virtual machine is enabled and users can administer IIS.
What is the advantage of renting hardware the application runs on? Why wouldn't I simply use IaaS to retain tighter control over the environment?
Azure manages the infrastructure powering the application so IT administrators no longer have to worry about it. The infrastructure used to power a global application with millions of users generating massive amounts of traffic (like SnapChat) is massive. The work and time it takes to manage that infrastructure is several times larger. With PaaS you are able to eliminate the management of the environment the app runs on. It is also cheaper to run an application with PaaS than creating dozens upon dozens of virtual machines. Scaling is much easier with PaaS. It is possible to scale to a massive size very quickly(and automatically) with PaaS. To do the same with IaaS, virtual machines must be created in geographically relevant locations.
PaaS provides most of the flexibility that IaaS provides. By sacrificing a little control administrators and developers are able to automate most of the infrastructure maintenance that comes with growing web applications. This not only saves money but allows developers to create new features without having to worry if the infrastructure can handle it. Whether the application is of massive global scale like SnapChat or simply a small application which applies business logic to users; PaaS on Azure maximizes productivity by removing laborious infrastructure maintenance.

Math Mammoth The Four Operations (with a Touch of Algebra) is a mathematics worktext meant primarily for fifth and sixth grades. Some of the lessons can also be used in seventh grade. A worktext means that the book is a textbook and workbook together: the lessons include both the explanations of the concepts, as well as practice exercises.
The PDF version of this book is enabled for annotation. This means that if you prefer, your student can fill it in on the computer, using the typewriter and drawing tools in Adobe Reader version 9 or greater.
The main topics studied in this book are simple equations, expressions that involve a variable, the order of operations, long multiplication, long division, and graphing simple linear functions. Students encounter the exact definition of an equation and an expression. They practice the order of operations with problems that also reinforce the idea of the equal sign ("=") as denoting equality of the right and left sides of an equation. These kind of exercises are needed because children may think that an equal sign signifies the act of finding the answer to a problem (as in 134 + 23 = ?, for example), which is not so.
Students solve addition and subtraction equations both with the help of diagrams (a.k.a. bar models) and also without. These diagrams (the same kind as in Singapore Math) are also used for simple multiplication and division equations and for mixture equations, such as 4x + 38 = 128.
We also present lessons on multi-digit multiplication (multiplying in columns). These lessons go farther than just reviewing the well-known algorithm. We study in detail: multiplying in parts (partial products), how those partial products can be seen in the algorithm itself, and how multi-digit multiplication can be visualized geometrically. Students also practice long division, including two-digit divisors, as a review from fourth grade.
Although the book is named, "The Four Operations," please notice that the idea is not to practice each of the four operations separately, but rather to see how they are used together in solving problems and in simple equations. We are trying to develop student's algebraic thinking, including the abilities to: translate problems into mathematical operations, comprehend the many operations needed to yield an answer to a problem, "undo" operations, and so on. Many of the ideas in this chapter are preparing them for algebra in advance.
This book is suitable for 5th and 6th grades. It includes both the teaching material (lessons) as well as the exercises in the same book. The answer key is appended.

Description of Research Expertise
The May laboratory investigates signal transduction pathways that lead to altered patterns of gene expression in immune and inflammatory responses. We are particularly interested in understanding how the loss of control of normal signaling contributes to the progression of diseases such as chronic inflammation and cancer. Our goal is to determine the specific molecular events underlying aberrant signals and to define realistic targets for selectively blocking abnormal, while maintaining physiologically normal responses. The focus of our work is the Nuclear Factor (NF)-kappa B transcription factor activation pathway that is critical for inflammation, innate and adaptive immunity and lymphocyte development. NF-kappa B activation is typically a rapid and transient response, however constitutive NF- kappa B activity occurs at sites of chronic inflammation and in various tumors, leukemias and lymphomas. We combine cellular, molecular and genetic approaches to determine the mechanisms that redirect normal NF-kappa B activation pathways into this functionally abnormal, constitutively active state. In addition to determining the basic mechanisms of NF-kappa B activation we have a long-standing interest in understanding the role of NF-kappa B in regulating the phenotype and function of vascular endothelial cells.A second related interest is to explore the experimental and therapeutic potential of peptide transduction technology as a strategy for modulating specific cell signaling responses. We previously described a small cell-permeable peptide inhibitor of NF-kappa B activity and demonstrated the feasibility of this approach both in vitro and in vivo. We will continue to exploit this exciting novel strategy to fully dissect deregulated NF-kappa B activity in chronic inflammatory diseases.
Currently our active areas of research are:
1. Determining the biochemical and molecular mechanisms that regulate the activity of the I Kappa B Kinase complex.
2. Investigating the signals that regulate vascular endothelial cell function in immune and inflammatory responses.
3. Developing novel targets for cell-permeable peptide inhibitors of NF-kappa B.

When Alexandra and I get together, the conversation naturally (and frequently) goes like this…
Food, psychology, health, exercise, beauty, ayurveda, sex, stress, and sleep. (Oh, and astrology.) Those are like the basic-cable channels we flip between: once we get to sleep, we go back to food. Cycle, repeat, cycle, repeat.
I'm of the mind that feeling your best really requires a combination of all of these things, but if I had to pick a single one as the most important of all, I'd pick sleep.
The data on the importance of sleep is incontrovertible: We need it, we need it consistently, and there are specific things—like a routine, black-out blinds, white noise, cool climes—that optimize it. In the absence of good sleep, science says we are at the mercy of cascading hormones that trigger food cravings, cause irritability, lack of focus, emotional fluctuations, and sap our energy—making it harder to do all those other things we know help us feel our best.
A few years ago, I realized I'm one of those 8-hour people. I need my 8 hours, and a disruption of more than a couple days tends to result in undesirable consequences like bad skin and an even worse mood. As such, I try as best I can to be consistent—without forsaking things like, you know, enjoying myself.
I'm not a crazy person about it, but it does take discipline and rigor to keep it up because as anyone who loves a good time knows: there's always more fun to be had, always one more hour of Housewives, one more chapter to read, one more glass to raise, one more hour of conversation to indulge in.
So in order to keep my sleep consistent, I seem to have, over time, created a bed-time ritual. There are like five things I do every night, and they're kind of corny and a little embarrassing, but suffice to say somehow, without even noticing it, I've created a ritual that totally works! I guess it's my way of telling my brain: There's time for activity, and there's time for sleep. This is the latter.
Some of the things I do every night: I power down all my electronics and turn off the power strip connected to my internet and my giant television; I turn on my fan (even in the winter—homegirl likes her white noise!); I drink some water; I send nice thoughts in my head to people I love or to people who need it.
So now I ask you: What is your non-negotiable-if-you-had-to-pick-just-one-ticket-to-health habit?
And when it comes to sleep: Do YOU have a bedtime ritual?

When the switch is thrown on this year's Guernsey County Courthouse holiday lights and music show, onlookers again will witness seasonal illumination amplified to a new scale never before seen in the local area.
The historic centerpiece of Downtown Cambridge comes alive with literally tens of thousands of colorful lights, synchronized to both traditional and contemporary holiday musical favorites.
The Courthouse lends its magnificent 1881 design to a intricately-choreographed 21st Century eye fest consisting of more than 44,000 lights, 15,000 of which will outline the structure's unique architectural details. Sixty animated displays and a 23 Foot Mega-Christmas Tree with 2,600 plus lights and a pine Christmas tree with a 3-D star complete the holiday spectacle.
The Guernsey County Commissioners, the Cambridge/Guernsey County Visitors and Convention Bureau, the Cambridge Main Street Program, the Dickens Victorian Village and AVC Communications have expressed their pride in this extraordinary enhancement of what has become a local tradition.
More Music Every Hour for this Christmas Season!
AVC designed the display, creating four different shows that will play throughout the holiday season. Each presentation makes use of more than 468 electrical circuits, each computer controlled in one-fourth-of-a-second increments and painstakingly synchronized to a holiday soundtrack. This year we introduce a new "host" for the show and as always features contemporary and traditional music, including kids favorites and spectacular display's on the front of the courthouse, the lawn and on US Bank across the street..
Each hour features a wide variety of music. The show features children's Christmas favorites, one song actually sung by Cambridge area 5th graders! A show featuring contemporary Christmas favorites, a traditional/contemporary Christmas music show featuring the well known local saxophonist Gordon Hough is followed by the ever popular modern Christmas music show. This show is considered the crowd favorite. All shows include a 23 Foot Mega-Christmas Tree with 2,600 plus lights and updated presentations from years past for 2012. Each hour will have 56 minutes of music & lights!
Nearly a thousand man hours were needed to originally design the first display; install the lights and electrical systems; and coordinate the lights to the music in 2007.
Cambridge and Guernsey County invite you to come and enjoy the Dickens Victorian Village and the charm of this 19th century landmark, complimented by this dramatic display of state-of-the-art lighting technology.
The Guernsey County Courthouse Holiday Light Show is a gift to the community from local resident, Grant Hafley, and is a joint effort of AVC Communications, the Guernsey County Commissioners, the Cambridge/Guernsey County Visitors and Convention Bureau, the Cambridge Main Street Program and the Dickens Victorian Village.

Animals and Islam in the NewsAnimal Sacrifice or Blood Orgy?NewAgeIslam.com Once again, Muslims around the world "sacrificed" millions of animals during a three-day period in the month of Eid al-Adha in a ritual intended to please God.
For Muslim vegetarians, Eid sacrifice is no celebration.The Jerusalem Post Eid Al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, now being celebrated across the Muslim world, is a joyous time of year for believers worldwide. However, for Muslim vegetarians the holiday spirit bears sombre overtones. Is There Such a Thing as 'Halal' Foie Gras?NewAgeIslam.com As a Muslim who grew up in the Indo-Pak subcontinent, I was appalled when I read that some retailers in France have started marketing so-called "halal foie gras" to the area's growing Muslim community. Dogs: Face to Face With My Worst Enemyguardian.co.uk Many Muslims growing up in devout households are taught that dogs are dirty and scary. So could Sarfraz Manzoor learn to love Cookie the bulldog? Vegetarianism is not contrary to Arab culture.guardian.co.uk When Jordanian activist Amina Tariq took to the streets of Amman clad only in lettuce leaves, she captured the attention of the media in the Middle East. With a sign in Arabic that read, "Let Vegetarianism Grow on You", she was trying to spark an interest in diets that do not include animal products. World animal day exists to celebrate animal life and humankind's special relationship with the animal.International Vegetarian Union Animal Save Movement Pakistan celebrated International Animal Day on 4 October 2008, with a fruitful gathering at which many school children, social workers, teachers, lawyers and political workers participated. Halal-standard slaughtering doesn't need animals awakeNewScientist Print Edition "He has only forbidden you dead meat and blood, and the flesh of swine and that on which any other name has been invoked besides that of God." (The Koran, 2:173) Muslim religious law requires, among other things, that an animal must be drained of blood before it is halal - permissible for consumption. Ritual slaughter according to Jewish dietary law - shechita - has the same prescription. Most Muslim slaughterers believe that drainage will only be complete if the throat of the animal is slit without stunning it first, but now Haluk Anil of the University of Bristol, UK, and colleagues have shown that the amount of blood drained from the animal, and the rate of blood loss, is the same regardless of whether or not it is stunned first. Anil's team have already shown that stunning does not affect "bleed-out" in sheep. Now they have done the same thing in cattle. They measured the bleed-out in 13 cattle killed by the tradition Muslim method, and 13 killed in the same way, but having first been stunned by a captive-bolt-pistol blow to the head (Animal Welfare, vol 15, p 325). "Stunning does not impede blood loss, therefore this objection cannot be used any more," says Anil, who is coordinating a European Union project to examine legislation and welfare issues related to religious slaughter, both shechita and halal. From Issue 2580 of New Scientist magazine, 02 December 2006, p. 16 Excerpts From the Islamic Teachings on Animal Welfare First Case of Human Mad Cow Disease (VCJD) Found in Saudi Arabiahttp://www.medicalnewstoday.com/index.php?newsid=5751 Saudi doctors have just confirmed that a person in Saudi Arabia has vCJD (the human form of BSE or mad cow disease). They also suggested that this person got the disease in the UK (when he was in the UK on a visit). Saudis stressed that no cattle has ever tested positive for mad cow disease. They said their cattle are subject to specialist testing. A Saudi newspaper said this man went to the UK, but avoided meat. However, they suggest he was tricked into eating beef rather than lamb. About three months ago the man began to notice he was feeling weak. He then started to lose his memory and later could not talk properly. Mad cow disease (spongiform encephalopathy) can be spread through the consumption of contaminated meat. Halal and Mad Cow DiseaseThe recent discovery of mad cow disease in United States cattle has
prompted many Muslims to question the halal status of their meat. According
to a recent report, halal meat is still susceptible to mad cow disease. Mad
Cow: It Is Time to Be Natural and Organic Pork in Your Milk?Are you eating halal meat? Did you know that your sheep have probably eaten chicken in their feed? Or that your dairy cows have probably had pork bones in their feed? A new article shows that this problem extends beyond meat in Americaeven animals in the Islamic world are fed these products.
Another result of the massive flight of Afghan refugees has been increased suffering on their transport animals. Employed to carry Afghans fleeing for their lives, these animals have incurred wounds and illnesses in the service of their handlers. Brooke Hospital for Animals has long been operating in Pakistan and is now directly involved in providing care for these animals. Meat for Thought |

Medicare Open Enrollment: Oct. 15 – Dec. 7
Tuesday, October 15th, 2013Today is the first day of Medicare Open Enrollment (OEP, also called "annual enrollment period"). Here are a few things to know about the Medicare OEP.
People on Medicare do not need to pay attention to the marketplaces that are part of Obamacare. Obamacare is mainly about getting health insurance for millions of Americans under 65. Medicare is health insurance for people over 65 and people under 65 with certain disabilities.
If you like your current coverage, you don't need to do anything. Your current Medicare Advantage plan, or Part D plan, or Medicare supplement will roll over into 2014. You do not need to re-enroll.
You do need to read the information your Medicare Advantage plan sent to you at the end of September. The Annual Notice of Change tells you how your Medicare Advantage plan, or your Part D plan will change for 2014. And some plans have significant changes.
I recently wrote about the First Health Part D Value plan that is doubling its premium from $26 to $53. And UnitedHealthcare is dropping Silver Sneakers from its AARP Medicare Complete Plus (HMO-POS) plan here in Tucson. I don't know about other states.
Unfortunately, Medicare.gov has lots of incorrect information about Medicare Advantage plans and Part D plans. This is making it difficult for me to do research for clients, and I've told some that we need to wait a while before I try to compare plans side-by side. I hope we don't have to wait too long because there are only about 45 days in the Medicare Open Enrollment Period.

"It's such an honor and I grew up in Hudson County, so I'm proud to represent," said Doyle-Gambuzza. The happy news was given to her by West New York Superintendent Anthony Yankovich and was soon followed up by a letter of congratulations from the Hudson County superintendent.
"It's very exciting and I am honor because I work with such great and dedicated teachers," she said.
Doyle-Gambuzza and her fellow educators were celebrated at the county luncheon on May 5.
Best of the lot
So how does one become the county's teacher of the year?
For Doyle-Gambuzza, it's been a series of humbling and unexpected surprises.
After being selected in March as Memorial High School's Teacher of the Year, where she teaches business education and computers, Doyle-Gambuzza was honored again as all of West New York's Teacher of the Year, and chosen to represent the district.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I expect this," said Doyle-Gambuzza. "I was very excited just to find out that I was Memorial and West New York's Teacher of the Year. I never thought I would get as far as I did."
Doyle-Gambuzza had to complete a thorough application process to eligible for not only county recognition, but now possibly state/national recognition.
"It was an extensive application process; they asked about my teaching philosophy, education issues, and each response had to be about two pages each," she said.
Doyle-Gambuzza has spent 25 years of her teaching career as the business education teacher for Memorial High School. She prepares her students for the business world, and teaches them the basics of computer applications and internet use/safety.
"Technology is ever changing, so every year is a new experience for me as well as for the students," said Doyle-Gambuzza. "When I first came, we were still teaching typing on typewriters."
Community roots
Although very much raised a West New York girl, Doyle-Gambuzza did not attend Memorial High School, but its neighbor St. Joseph of the Palisades High School.
However, due to her very tight friendships at the school, Doyle-Gambuzza always felt like part of the Memorial family.
"I had a lot of friends at Memorial, and I continued to live in West New York for 28 years," said Doyle-Gambuzza.
After graduating from Montclair with a degree in Business Education, Doyle-Gambuzza decided to try her hand out at teaching at Emerson High School in Union City.
However, Doyle-Gambuzza still had her ambitions of dominating the corporate world, especially across the river in the reigning metropolis of New York City, so after a year she turned in her lesson plans for a shot at big business.
"I got a job in the corporate world at American Express, but after a year I knew it wasn't for me," said Doyle-Gambuzza. "I missed the students, I missed teaching and I knew that this was my passion."
Classroom over business
Coming to her newfound realization, Doyle-Gambuzza started looking for ways to get back in the classroom, and finally came upon an ad for her alma mater by association, Memorial High School.
"I love being in the classroom and really enjoy the relationship that you have with the students," said Doyle-Gambuzza. "Even today, people ask me, after 25 years aren't you tired? But the students are what motivates me. When you know you are making an impact on a person's life or they come back to thank you, it's very rewarding."
Many of Doyle-Gambuzza's students over the past years have come back to visit and chat about the direction their lives have taken.
"Some even come in as parents night now," said Doyle-Gambuzza.
Now with her latest recognition, students past and present, and even those she has never had a in a classroom, have been taking their time out to pass by and say congratulations.
"I am very happy for her; she's a wonderful person, very inspiring and she just has a heart for teaching," said Melissa Pacheco, 18, a senior.
The West New York Board of Education has also been showing their immense gratitude and appreciation.
During the awards reception for the district, the Board of Education members gave beautiful golden apples to all of their teachers of the year in the district.
Yet, the only thing she may ask for is a parking spot.
Doyle-Gambuzza can now go on to represent the county at the state level, which will have a decision by next fall, and from there, National Teacher of the Year may not be that far off.
