It's fallback-to-school timeand there is no more appropriate time than now to look at IT education and its current crisis.
Its fallback-to-school timeand there is no more appropriate time than now to look at IT education and its current crisis. On the heels of oversubscribed IT courses at the time of the dot-com bubble, the subsequent economic recession and IT spending freeze of the early 2000s cast doubt on the value of those same IT studies. Now, sending work offshore has ratcheted up the fear, uncertainty and doubt about the future of IT another notch. The result: IT programs cant attract students, and employers from Bill Gates on down complain they cant find anyone to hire.
These pressures have forced universities to come up with fresh ideas. One example is a course being offered this fall for the first time at Marquette University. There, IT professor Monica Adya is teaching a class in managing offshore development. "We looked at changes in courses and did an industry analysis. A big interest was in project management. We looked into how to provide real-world experience," said Adya. The concept work was funded by a grant from 3M.
The result is a cooperative effort with the Management Development Institute, in Gurgaon, India, which was looking to collaborate with a team at a U.S. university. Seventeen Marquette students, divided into four teams, will be studying project management, while 42 students in Gurgaon, divided into eight teams, will be developing software to suit their requirements. Each U.S. team will manage two Indian teams. One team will be managed in "high control" mode, where the U.S. students will specify their requirements in detail and closely manage the developers. The other team will be managed in a "low control" manner, giving the Indian team information only as its requested. "Im trying to make the teams learn that communication is critical to how the Indian teams develop these systems," said Adya. "A lot of the learning will occur as they experiment with these two different management styles." It would be wrong to think the Indian students will be doing all the work while the U.S. students will be watching them. Adya said her students will do planning, budgeting, scheduling, risk assessment and team management. "They are the clients, but they are also managing the delivery of the project," she explained. The teams will use e-mail, instant messaging and possibly Internet telephony to stay in touch, Adya said. The professor plans to travel to India later on to confer with faculty in Gurgaon. She is planning to offer a similar course at the graduate level next semester.

The Marquette courses emphasis on project management is very timely, according to a study sponsored by the Society for Information Management. That study found that the most critical skill needed by corporate IT departments is project management. Respondents, which included SIM membersall high-level IT executives at large companiessaid these skills will also be needed in 2008 as well. "Some of this reinforces our gut feel," said Kate Kaiser, another Marquette IT professor and a SIM member who took part in the study. "These are skills that companies dont want to source." The study found a revealing corollary to the emphasis on project management: a sharp drop-off in the need for in-house programming skills, said Kaiser. For IT professionals, the historic entry-level job has been that of programmer. But if people arent starting out as programmers, how will they get their foot in the door? For now, it looks like a better place to start is in project management.

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Tzaki Patras
Travel Blogs from Patras
Saying goodbye to gyro
... to ferries with unmarked destinations. Making it eventually trough customs we made it to traffic jam trying to squeeze onto what looked like our ferry. An hour after the designated departure time we made it aboard. With some beers from the Swiss in front of us we settled in. One positive is being able to sleep in the van onboard, making it a very comfortable journey.
The rough sail to Patras
... you a comfortable trip" Well if only it was but with miserable staff such as this lot its certainly not going to be comfortable at all!!
As the night went on a mighty storm was brewing outside and the sea was becoming more rough by the mile. Waves were washing right over the front of the ship and we were being thrown around like beans in a beanbag, however I thought all this was great.
As the ship rocked from side to side and the front lifted up into the air and went ...

... and houses, and a lot of roads and bridges that have been started and left.
Our hotel is a few minutes away from the market square and the path leading up to the Acropolis.
Our room is on the rooftop and opens onto an outdoor area with views of the Parthenon. Athens!

After lunch I changed into my swimsuit and jumped in the water and swam around while hubby sat on a bench enjoying the shade. It was quite warm but still nice refreshing. After my swim we went back to the home improvement store - Prakticler - and bought a new hose for the shower at the apartment as it seems to be leaking. Hubby installed it and it works awesome now.

... of Patras. At the school parking, parents and children were hugging each other and all you could see around was luggage and more luggage... Truth is us girls overdid it a bit whereas the guys only took one traveller's bag with them. After farewell and all this, we boarded the bus and soon we found ourselves at the port. Our trip had begun...

Mornings can be rough. Period. How about when it's 4:30 a.m. and you have to be showered, make-up on, hair styled, and on live TV? That can be really rough. An anchor from our sister station KTLA recently missed the start of the morning show in Los Angeles, and it's all because of a juice cleanse.

This is not news. This is nothing more than a distraction. The goal of this liberal propaganda organization is to distract you, to deflect attention away from the communist occupant in the White House. They will "dumb down" the news because they think you are not smart enough or that you really don't care that your country is being systematically destroyed. They hope you don't find out that Obama negotiated with terrorists in order to free a deserter. They'll hide the fact that Obama's VA is failing America's veterans intentionally and covering up their misdeeds in the process. They also believe that you don't need to know hundreds of thousands of uneducated, unskilled, and welfare-dependent people are flooding into this country every year to drain the taxpayer, overwhelm government programs and hospitals, and take jobs away from citizens. No, they won't tell you a lot. They won't tell you how liberalism is a failed ideology and is dooming this nation. And you know what, they are partially right about you. They are counting on you not to care or pay attention. The only way this country can be saved is that you start caring and paying attention and end the smoke and mirrors of "hope and change" in November and again in 2016. Don't ever be fooled again.
No excuses
It's crazy people like you that give us conservatives a bad name. Your paranoid ranting makes everyone look crazy
Tom; I think it might be time to up your meds. You're going to have a stroke if you don't calm down.
While not news, I don't think this is the story to make people forget about what's happening in the world. Generally, those involve some type of conflict or Kanye West.

Anyone who has an ounce of understanding about the functions of the liver and how exactly the organ works will understand that food restriction, especially that of fats and proteins will not only NOT help the body cleanse, but it can effectively deplete the enzymes that are required by the liver as it tried to do its job.

Title: | Tax incidence : a case study of Thailand |
Author: | Pahirah, Manoon |
Date: | 1978 |
Abstract: | This study investigates the tax structure of Thailand for the years 1969 and 1971, employing S-coefficients to measure, numerically, the gressivity of Thai individual taxes as well as the overall tax structure. In measuring tax burden distribution among the Thai people of different income classes, household income (a narrow income concept) and adjusted household income (a comprehensive income concept) are used as the income bases. Various empirical studies and institutional settings, as well as the observed behavior of the Thai economy, are employed in making assumptions as to the shifting and incidence of the Thai taxes. Investigation is also made, qualitatively, into the "implicit" or "excess" burden of the taxes due to tax evasion and a trade policy of import substitution of Thailand. This burden, if taken into consideration, affects the conventional method of tax burden measurement. Under a comprehensive income base, the Thai tax structure is found to be regressive approaching proportionality in 1969 (S = -0.010) but becoming more regressive (S = -0.063) in 1971. Compared with the burden of a tax distribution under a proportional income tax, the poor and the lower-middle class Thai bore a relatively higher tax burden than the middle-rich classes in both years. Measured in terms of Gini-coefficients, the regressivity of the Thai tax structure increased income inequality, which was already high, by 0.1 and 0.5 percent for 1969 and 1971, respectively. Some recommendations are made aiming at lessening the regressivity of the tax structure and raising more revenues from the Thai tax system. |

Sport coat
This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2011) |
A sport coat (American English), also called a sports coat (British English), sports jacket, less commonly known as a sportcoat, is a jacket for men. Though it is of a similar cut and length to a suit jacket, a sport coat is less formal and is designed to be worn on its own without matching trousers. Styles, fabrics, colours and patterns are more varied than in most suits; sturdier and thicker fabrics are commonly used, such as corduroy, suede, denim, leather, and tweed.
Originally, sports coats were worn as casual attire for watching outdoor sports. With time, they came to be used on more formal occasions, sometimes being used in school uniforms.
A shooting jacket is a type of sports coat worn, as the name suggests, originally in the sports of shooting or hunting. It usually comes with a leather patch on the front shoulder to prevent recoil wear from the butt of a shotgun or rifle, frequently with matching leather patches on the elbow.
A hacking jacket is a wool sports coat for casual riding, often of tweed and traditionally 3 buttoned with a single vent.
A blazer is similar to a sports coat, and is tailored from solid color or striped fabrics. Blazers are often made with metal buttons reflecting their origins in the British Navy the sport of boating, though this is not necessarily a defining feature. Blazers also often have patch pockets, unlike other kinds of coats.[1][2]

Between them, Timely, PocketSmith and Thankyou Payroll have more than 90,000 clients in 170 countries.
All three spoke of valuing the lifestyle Otago afforded, which played a major part in their decision to stay in the city.
PocketSmith, which was founded in 2008, is a simple budgeting software tool that can help people manage their finances.
When Xero wound down its personal finance product last year, it recommended PocketSmith to its Xero Personal customers.
Co-founder Jason Leong said the company's seven staff understood that it was ''exciting selling to the world''.
Software-as-a-service products delivered better value than traditional software as they were iterative in nature, he said.
It has been suggested that sales of cloud-based software could reach $US21.3 billion ($NZ24.6 billion) by next year.
Mr Leong said a company could not be started globally. It took some skill and training to get to that point, getting the right systems and resources in place.
Most of PocketSmith's customers were from the United States, but he also saw ''huge opportunities'' in Australia. The goal was for another 130% growth this year, he said.
Mr Leong has lived in Dunedin for more than 15 years, preferring the pace of life to that in his home city of Kuala Lumpur.
Timely, which has just hired its 11th staff member and opened an office in the United Kingdom, offers scheduling software for service businesses such as physiotherapists, hair salons and beauticians.
Chief executive Ryan Baker said cloud-based software provided businesses with a lot more flexibility, allowing companies to avoid up-front infrastructure costs and focus on projects that differentiated their businesses, instead of infrastructure.
Mr Baker has a young family and, like the other Timely staff, loves the Dunedin lifestyle.
It was ''pretty cool'' watching people balance their work and lifestyle, and that turned into motivation for their work.
There was a huge market in the space that Timely operated, but there was room ''if you do it better''.
There was some good growth in the UK and also a big opportunity in Australia, he believed.
Timely is a finalist in this year's New Zealand Hi-Tech Awards, in the IBM hi-tech start-up company of the year category.
Thankyou Payroll, which was established in 2010, operates online payroll services. It has 650 clients and was looking to hit 2000 by the end of the year and has processed more than $60 million in wages to date.
It was growing about 15% month-on-month, chief executive Lani Evans said.
Ms Evans, who often breaks up the morning commute by kayaking to work from Port Chalmers, cited the ''amazing'' lifestyle in the city, the collaborative and supportive community, and the ''great talent'' coming out of the University of Otago.

As we begin this next phase of competition...
WHITE Pam: 227 (-10) Nathan: 339 (-20) Danni: 239 (-19) LBS LOST: 69 (5.61%)
RED Lisa: 230 (-16) Jackson: 306 (-22) Francelina: 248 (-19) Cate: 225 (-12) Joe: 338 (-26) LBS LOST: 95 (6.59%)
BLUE Jeff: 359 (-29) Michael: 423 (-21) David: 287 (-20) Alex: 231 (-9) Gina: 230 (-15) LBS LOST: 94 (5.79%)
The next day after weigh-in, Ali arrives with ANOTHER RED LINE week. We also have three custom outdoor workout areas designed by the three trainers. All of the players will be training in their respective areas.
Bob will have the Blues workout with specially trained workout assassins, chosen to motivate the team to push themselves beyond their limits.
Dolvett's Dungeon welcomes the Reds, forcing them to use their bodies in ways that they are not accustomed to. Jackson, on week one, found out that he is medically restricted to "a President's walk".
In Jillian's playground, there's not a whole lot in their. Because ultimately the best tool you have in the fight against fat... is your own body.
Basically put for all three teams, it's the Initial Workout... on steroids.
Mike is our first casualty of the two hours, as he struggles to breathe. Bob tells him not to forget how laborious this is, especially in the face of temptation. Meanwhile, David is struggling to work out on a hurt knee. On everyone's mind.. the Week 2 Curse. That is, you lose a mountain of water weight to start, and in week 2... you plateau or WORSE. On the Whites, Pam and Danni are falling to pieces. They look at the Reds and notice that the words "can't" or "won't" are not in their words. Unfortunately, that's all the Whites know. Luckily, Jillian's good at two things... yelling and picking you up afterwards.
The players get a medical wake-up call. As a medical professional myself, I will adhere to my ethical code, and not discuss it here. But I will say that 80 percent of Americans are over-fat. If that doesn't scare you, nothing will.
On the Whites, Jillian has what we call in the South a come-to-Jesus meeting. What you see as anger is actually fear. The people who watch this show on a regular are not inspired by her or anyone of the other trainers... they're inspired by you. You can try and fail and try again... or you can fail to try and fail again. It's time to create a new pattern and go back to basics. And most of all, remember... you would not be here if you didn't deserve to be here.
FOLLOW-UP: Patrick House (winner, season 10), now over 200 down, is going back to his old school to challenge America to get moving.
CHALLENGE #1: Getting Charged
First of all... 8-time NFL Pro Bowler Antonio Gates, representing the NFL's Play60 campaign. He's going to help us with his next challenge, as are our three captains Biingo, Lindsay, and Sunny.
This is a timed event designed to test speed, strength, agility, and all four. The fastest time wins a visit from the captain's FAVORITE NFL star AND $5000 for their school.
Q1: SPEED - compete in a series of suicide shuttle races. White leads, 48 seconds to Blue's 50 and Red's 54.
Q2: AGILITY - traverse tackling dummies, hurdles, and a cargo rope. White leads with 1:34 to Red's 1:41 and Blue's 1:41.
Q3: STRENGTH - The Gauntlet. Blue wins this heat, but White continues to lead with 2:05 to Blue's 2:09. Red is on 2:57.
Q4: Crunch time. Michael vs. Nathan vs. Joe vs. ALL THREE AREAS.
Final scores...
Sunny's getting a Play60 Super School Visit! And Antonio is adding on an additional $5000 to High Desert School for their participation in this challenge. Now let's go for a run.
To see Sunny get her reward, go to BiggestLoser.com.
Back at the troubled Whites, Jillian's starting over, while Nathan wants to be here for as long as he can. Pam... "I suck at this. I suck at this. I suck at this." No you don't. Now get back up.
With the kids, Biingo was playing basketball and broke his foot. But he was active, so there's a bright side. Good, because it's time for the Biggest Loser Fitness Test. You'll take it now and again near the end of the series. As for Biingo, cut down on food, stay active, and... stay positive.
LAST CHANCE WORKOUT TIME! We're gonna have so much fun with Bob, Jillian, and their teams together. "We're gonna have fun today!" Yeah, fun as defined by Geneva, I bet. And people think Bob's the nice one? BOB'S AN ANIMAL.
Tonight, we have another Red Line. Find yourself at the wrong end of it, and you'll find yourself on the van home.
BLUE David: 278 (-9) Gina: 223 (-7) Alex: 225 (-6) Michael: 409 (-14) Jeff: 359 (0) - YOU'VE GOT THE CURSE! "Mathematically, that makes no sense." LBS LOST: 36 (2.35%)
RED (needs to lose more than 31 lbs) Cate: 220 (-5) Francelina: 242 (-6) Jackson: 302 (-4) Joe: 326 (-12) Lisa: 225 (-5) LBS LOST: 32 (2.38%) - SAFE
WHITE (needs to lose more than 18 lbs) Pam: 219 (-8) Danni: 234 (-5) Nathan: 334 (-5) - ELIMINATED LBS LOST: 18
And in two weeks, we've gone from five teammates to TWO.
Of course, we have S&P watching, so let's see the numbers.
EPILOGUE: Nathan lost a total of 25 pounds on the show. Since his elimination, he's gotten out of the 300s, and is now 60 pounds down to 299. He's well on his way to achieving his goals, the least of which is putting a ring on that lovely lady of his.
And of course, she said yes. All the best to you both.

For example, on line 859 of the main plugin PHP file you have:

It should be changed to the following to avoid any security concerns as well as the myriad warning that will pop up in browsers (especially a problem for non-developers who won't know what the heck is going on...).
Line 859 should be changed to this:

Django Lighttpd Deployment Addition

Description (last modified by jacob)
It appears that lighttpd will IGNORE mod_rewrite rules within blocks using $HTTP["url"] to match on URLs (a fairly common thing to do to redirect to HTTPS for example). In order to do that you must NOT use $HTTP["url"], for example using "host" will work:
$HTTP["url"] =~ "/login" { url.redirect = "https://....../login" } else $HTTP["host"] ~= ".*" { fastcgi.server = .... }
I think the docs should be updated to reflect this as it will save others horrible headaches.

We can't really expect to document every single quirk of every server Django could run on -- at a certain point, people are going to have to read the web server documentation, too. Still, this is probably worth mentioning somewhere.
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by gabrielhurley
if it should be mentioned anywhere it's in the lighttpd setup section of the deployment docs.
The thing that makes me uncertain that this should be brought up is that the example configuration currently does not give an example of the $HTTP["url"]-style syntax. It only shows the $HTTP["host"]-style configuration (which has always been my go-to configuration without even knowing about this issue).
So, the question is whether this issue--which is entirely incumbent on lighttpd--is so severe that it warrants mentioning even though we already encourage people in a direction that would avoid it?

OPEN FORUM: Nancy Persons opened the meeting by welcoming full time English Department (Petaluma) faculty member, Johnny Sarraf, to the PFF meeting. Joel Rudinow presented a proposal for a labyrinth landscape installation for the Petaluma campus. He handed out information detailing the anticipated cost of the project. As funds will not be available from district sources, Joel explained that the bulk of funds need to come from fundraising efforts. It is anticipated that student volunteers will be utilized to offset some of the labor costs. Norberto Quiroz reported that he and Ofelia Arellano just made recent visits to McDowell Elementary School in Petaluma and Mountain Shadows Junior High School in Rohnert Park to familiarize students with SRJC's programs. Jennifer Mann and Elisa Conti of Disability Resources will be holding two informational presentations for faculty. The first highlights Assistive Technology and the second event is a film viewing of "See What I Mean". Both events are available for Flex credit. Michael Eurgubian shared that he had been approached to become a faculty advisor for a new club on campus. In order for a club to qualify for funds, clubs must be approved (or sanctioned) by the college. Sanctioned clubs are required to send a club member to a weekly meeting in Santa Rosa. Michael pointed out that the potential club members are re-thinking club formation because of this requirement. Nancy offered to have the Steering Committee look into this issue. The Intercultural Club will host a Spanish language film festival in the Mahoney Library over the next three Friday evenings 7:00 – 9:00pm. Steve Olson announced that Carl Dobson has been promoted to Head gardener and will oversee the entire college district's landscaping. MINUTES: The minutes of September 5, 2006 were approved. REPORTS: Academic Senate: Kimberlee Messina, The Senate will meet tomorrow (Oct 4, 2006) and address changes to the faculty hiring policy, reinstatement of the writing sample within the English placement test and revised faculty absence guidelines. Student Services: Nancy Persons gave the Student Services report on behalf of Deanna Hatter who could not attend today's meeting. October and November are CSU application months. November is UC application month. Representatives from Sonoma State and UC Davis will be on campus during October and November. th October 26 is Health Awareness Day. There will be information and activities in the quad from 10:00am – 2:00pm. st Beginning October 1 , the revised hours for Student Services are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 8:00am – 6:00pm, Wednesday 8:00am –7:30pm and Friday 8:00-4:30pm. 1 All Faculty Association (AFA): Cheryl Dunn The last two meetings of AFA have been devoted to presentations from candidates for the Board of Trustees. AFA will be making informal recommendations based on these meetings. The coordinator issue is a still high priority for AFA but this will be a time-intensive process as there are three different coordinator categories in the contract. There was a question regarding differing interpretations of District paid health benefits. Cheryl stated that AFA's position is that the District should pay for faculty health benefits. Institutional Planning Council (IPC): Norberto Quiroz No report Petaluma Campus Phase II Update: Steve Olson detailed the current status of the Petaluma Campus Phase II building project. Some foundations have been laid and the framing process has begun. The Phase II groundbreaking ceremony was held last week. It was well attended by both SRJC staff and community residents. Steve, Ofelia Arellano and Robert Chudnofsky will be preparing the final version of the Ed Plan. Robert and Ofelia will meet with individual departments and will bring the departmental information back to PFF. Ofelia offered to hold informational meetings with PFF before and after meeting with the departments. Steve passed around a handout on SRJC goals and objectives and that were outlined the goals specific to the Petaluma Campus. In closing, Steve reminded everyone that students are not allowed in staff areas. There continues to be a problem and Steve asked that everyone observe this policy. Chair Report: Nancy Persons Dr. Agrella wants to schedule meetings with the Petaluma Campus community in order to gather input regarding the selection of the new Petaluma Dean. Nancy will send out an email about dates and times. Comments can be taken to the steering committee if you are unable to attend. Seven new parking spaces for faculty have been reserved along the creek side of the campus. Please let the steering committee know if parking is still a concern. One member recounted that students fill reserved spaces and that ticketing has been lax. Steve reminded everyone that plentiful parking is available at the Baptist church on Sonoma Mountain Parkway. Nancy has been told that various departments do not have enough faculty to staff proposed courses. Encourage your department to open departmental pools in order to promote adequate staffing for future courses on the Petaluma Campus. Support training, classes and events that are held on the Petaluma Campus through your attendance. If you cannot attend, please convey your appreciation to the organizers for holding events at Petaluma. A campus collegiality committee is being formed foster better communication and cooperation within the campus community. The committee will be comprised of classified staff, an Administration representative, full time and adjunct faculty. If you are interested in participating, contact Nancy. The Friends of the Petaluma has funded a series of faculty teaching breakfasts. th The first breakfast will be held Tuesday, October 17 7:30-8:30am and Gloria DeBlasio will be hosting. Johnny Sarraf will host the November breakfast (Wednesday, 11/15) and Robert Caruso will host the December teaching breakfast (Thursday, 12/14). The events are PDA approved for the hosts and guests ACTION: There were no action items scheduled. DISCUSSION: 2 Petaluma Campus Faculty Staffing: Ofelia Arellano Ofelia has received fifteen different staffing requests for this year. They are from CIS, Humanities, Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, Math (2) Media, Speech Communication, Spanish and English. Public Safety, Art and Work Experience are putting forth split assignments. Counseling will request a replacement for Jim Elrod, who is retiring. Ofelia asked for volunteers for a task force to assist with prioritizing recommendations. There has been concern from some departments that Petaluma Campus requests will compete with Santa Rosa Campus requests. Steve acknowledged that this is an ongoing concern but Petaluma is scheduled to move into new buildings in two years, and increased staff be will needed. Furthermore, the ratio of full time to part time at Santa Rosa is 1:1, while the ratio is 1:3 at the Petaluma Campus. This inequity is another concern for the campus. The Ed Plan (draft), the Regional Needs Assessment and enrollment data will be utilized to prioritize requests. PFF Vision statement and objectives formulation for 2006-07: Nancy Persons Due to time constraints, PFF was unable to address the second discussion item scheduled for the October meeting. The PFF vision Statement and objectives formulation for 2006-2007 will be rescheduled for a future meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 5:02 pm 3

Sunderland is the oldest lifeboat station, celebrating over 200 years as a station. The first experimental motor lifeboat in the RNLI's fleet operated from here and today the station has two inshore lifeboats – an Atlantic 85 and a D class.
This station is classed as a Discover station. Our crews from Discover stations are equally welcoming to visitors but many of these stations were built before visitors were considered. These stations normally open their boathouse doors during the summer months.
Visit the station website
Volunteers from Sunderland RNLI Lifeboat were amongst the emergency services which were called into action this morning (17 Jan) after a reported the sighting of a person lying on mud-banks near the famous concrete tug 'Cretehawser' at South Hylton.

My husband had gone to United Supermarket on May 28. When he pulled off his motorcycle gloves, his ring also came off. He got home and discovered he had lost it, he went back to United's parking lot and searched to no avail. Someone found it, turned it in to the store. We want to thank the person who found it. This ring has a lot of sentimental value to my husband. It is an heirloom ring, it contained the diamonds from both of his parents' wedding rings and it will be passed on through generations. Whoever is the honest, caring and thoughtful person, you receive a huge thank you from us.
God bless You,
Karen and Wayne Edwards

This is an awesome desk and a great value. We ordered it on Tuesday and it arrived on Thursday. The desk is great because two people can sit across from each other and work. The quality is very nice and the storage shelves are deep. We are so pleased with our purchase.
This is a great value for a desk with lots of storage space. Not too hard to put together and when it's done it is really nice looking. You can make the desk right or left sided and there is even a great keyboard tray. No damage on arrival and the instructions were helpful. I still can't believe the price.
This is the best deal on a desk out there. The quality is so nice and this is extremely sturdy. There is more storage than I need and great work space. I assembled it in about 10 minutes. What a value.
I am using this as a craft/sewing machine center. Hope the finish does not rub off on fabrics. Fits well in my space - but I thought it was a bit bigger. Guess I reallyy hadd to check the measurements in the space before purchasing. Think it will work though. Creating cubby holes for craft materials.
The major problem I had was the desk arrived with all parts and no instructions. There were no available online, so it took two extra days for them to email a set. Whoever said it took 10 minutes to put together is whacked. It took about 90 min. That being said, I'm happy with the result, seems sturdy and looks nice.
Classy & functional, lots of book storage spaces for books, deco & pictures! Love it!
Great desk for a small space. Lots of room to organize.
The bookcase unit went together quite easily, but I was totally flummoxed by the desk extension and keyboard tray assembly instructions. I had to call for help. The design is good, the quality of the materials is fine; I am just glad I got it together!
The size is perfect--if you're a little kid. Our office chair extends beyond the desk opening by about an inch. The height is also much shorter (and shelf spaces) than appear in the picture. The particle board was damaged in 3 places--two are on the back, one in the lower corner underneath so isn't readily visible but disappointing to see as the over packaging seemed OK. Has a pull out keyboard shelf that we will use for office supply holder as we will have a laptop. Inval brand hutch and matches color--seems better quality.
The desk works great in the corner, plenty of storage, and does not take up too much room. Great for our little office corner in our bedroom

The Delfield 8191-EFN narrow four pan drop in LiquiTec cooled food well is a dependable way to present salad, fruit, gelatin desserts, and other cold foods at your buffet line! This cold food well incorporates LiquiTec cooling technology, a unique system which works by using eutectic fluid sealed in a jacket within the pan dividers, cooling each pan with more contact points and a much larger surface area than traditional refrigerant line models. The end result is consistent, even cooling, fewer compressor cycles, and better energy efficiency than comparable cold food wells! Because of how this food well holds pans, it's great for narrower countertops or two-sided buffet setups where you'd want to display the pans lengthwise.
This refrigerated cold food well can hold four full size 12" x 20" food pans up to 6" deep lengthwise at food safe holding temperatures for an extended period of time. To maintain a consistent temperature, the bottom-mounted 1/4 hp compressor circulates R-404A refrigerant to cool the LiquiTec fluid, which evenly chills the contents of the well. A bottom-mounted 1/2" stainless steel drain and manifold collect condensation.
This stainless steel drop in refrigerated cold food well is insulated with high-density foam that guarantees superior temperature retention, and an included fitted flange gasket allows you to snugly install this food well into your countertop. The Delfield 8191-EFN narrow drop in refrigerated cold food well is UL and NSF Listed and requires a 90" x 17 1/4" cutout. Please consult the Specification Sheet for additional details.

Every week on the speaking circuit I am asked this question by users and technology firms: When will we see mass adoption of RFID? I have a date. But I think I will teach you to bake bread, rather than feeding you toast!
The way to proceed is to just look at the forces that can inhibit or accelerate RFID technology adoption and market growth.
Of course, the counter to the inhibitors is the enablers.
Enablers come from a myriad of industry and government standards. Government initiatives in the US
A fair amount of 'faith' is accompanying early adopters, or those testing the water temperature, deciding whether to jump in. They assume that all the technical problems will eventually be overcome, and total asset visibility will be accomplishable. Even if this is the case, there are issues that will slow growth that are very real today.
ChainLink Research has done extensive research (of hundreds of firms) and the desire for improved visibility, tracking, etc. stands out as a critical issue to global firms. Most firms don't know how to get started. But as the cultural knowledge begins to spread, training comes on-line, and success stories start to get out the swimmers will start to signal to those still on the shore that the water is fine!
Addendum 1: CTPAT
US Customs and Border Protection has announced new, stricter requirements for importers applying for membership in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) program. Although C-TPAT participation will remain voluntary, the new standards, which became effective March 25, will require importers to fulfill additional responsibilities in order to join. CBP will also phase in these standards for existing importer participants over a six-month period.
From its onset, C-TPAT has sought to enhance security measures across the entire supply chain by compelling close cooperation among its constituent entities, from importers, brokers, and warehouse operators to carriers and foreign manufacturers/suppliers. Until now, however, the importer's obligation has primarily been merely to communicate C-TPAT security standards throughout its supply chain. Under the new C-TPAT requirements, importers will be required to go a step further and ensure that pertinent security measures are in place and adhered to by all members of their supply chain.
Changes to Participation Requirements
Importers wishing to join C-TPAT on or after March 25, 2005 must meet or exceed the revised C-TPAT Security Criteria for Importers before they will be certified and eligible for benefits. Among the most notable changes from the previous standards are the following:
Additional areas of supply chain security for which importers must have documented procedures include pre-employment verification and personnel termination; documentation processing and manifest; physical access controls; cargo discrepancies; security training and threat awareness for employees throughout the supply chain; information technology security; and physical security.
Importers will also only be able to apply for C-TPAT membership through an on-line application and submit their security profile electronically. Upon receipt of the importer's completed security profile, CBP will review and provide the importer with feedback within 60 days.
Phase-in of New Requirements for Existing Participants
For current C-TPAT participants, implementation of the new security criteria will be phased in through three steps.
(1) Importers will have 60 days (until May 26, 2005) to meet the container security, physical security, and physical access controls criteria. (2) Within 120 days (by July 26, 2005), importers must implement the more internal or procedural security elements, including personnel security, procedural security, information technology security, and the establishment of a security training and threat awareness program.(3) Within 180 days (by September 26, 2005), importers are expected to satisfy the business partner requirements under the new criteria by using their corporate strength to push security enhancements back into their supply chain, from point of stuffing through receipt in the U.S.

Cookbook:Kransekage Kransekage |
The kransekage (literally wreath cake) is a traditional Danish (kransekage) and Norwegian (kransekake/kransekaka) confection, usually eaten on special occasions such as weddings, baptisms, Christmas, or New Year's Eve.
Kransekage take the form of a series of concentric rings of cake, layered on top of each other in order to form a steep-sloped cone shape—often 18 or more layers—stuck together with white icing.[1] Kransekage cake rings are made with almonds, sugar, and egg whites.[1] The ideal kransekage is hard to the touch, yet soft and chewy.
The original variant used at weddings is called overflødighedshorn (horn of plenty) and is shaped like a cornucopia and filled with chocolates, cookies, and other small treats. Sometimes a bottle of wine or akvavit is placed in the center, and the cake is decorated with ornaments such as crackers and flags.
This confection is served by separating individual rings and breaking them into smaller pieces.
One cultural tradition is for the bride and groom to lift the top layer of the cake at their wedding. The number of cake rings that stick to the top one when they lift it is said to be the number of children the couple will have.[1]

Toyota Prius Replacement Muffler Information
The muffler on your Toyota Prius serves two functions. It dampens the noise of engine explosions, and it vents hot, potentially poisonous exhaust fumes away from the occupants of the car, and out through the tailpipe. When your Toyota Prius's muffler isn't functioning correctly, other people will be able to hear your car from many blocks away. Your Prius may also flunk mandated emissions test many states require before they will reregister your automobile. PartsGeek.com sells replacement mufflers for the Toyota Prius.
Mufflers are actually pretty nifty devices. Their chambers are specially engineered to create pressure waves of an opposite amplitude to the sound waves from your engine. This has the effect of canceling out engine noises. This process creates a certain amount of back pressure, which reduces the performance of your engine somewhat. That's the reason why so many racing cars don't bother with mufflers.
They are available for the following Toyota Prius years: 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 09, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04, 03, 02, 01. This part is also sometimes called Toyota Prius Mufflers. We stock muffler parts for most Toyota models including 4Runner, Tacoma, Camry, Pickup, Tundra, T100, Corolla, RAV4, Land Cruiser, Sienna, Celica, Previa, Avalon, Sequoia, Tercel, Echo, Solara, Highlander, Matrix, Paseo, Yaris, MR2, Cressida, Van, Supra and Corona.

Thanks Parts Geek! My muffler can quickly with all the hardware needed. Great fit, Great price.
Wonderful product and fast shipping. They were also the best price on the net. Buy with confidence!
My wife's Prius is back in stealth mode now, thanks to this quiet muffler. Every this lined up just right and was easy to install. It took me an hour to get the exhaust system apart due to rusted nuts that resisted PB Blast and had to be cut off with a sawzall. Then 15 minutes to put it back together again. Very happy.
it fit great into my 2004 Prius.
PartsGeek shipped it fast.
The part arrived on time, to my neighbor, mail carrier's mistake. Part was as described, fit fine, problem solved.
