By Alexis WileyFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Detroit city leaders are working hard to avoid a state takeover, especially since Lansing lawmakers are now talking about new emergency manager legislation. The City Council on Tuesday voted to accept several key measures they had previously been fighting and paved the way for a controversial urban farm."You've got the city facing it's own fiscal cliff and yet we've had more people coming down in the past 24 hours complaining about somebody wanting to come in and buy vacant lots to plant trees," said Detroit City Council Member Ken Cockrel, Junior.However, despite complaints and legitimate concerns, Detroit City Council approved the sale of 1,500 city-owned lots to Hantz Woodlands, which will eventually become an urban farm."It will help us with our blight," said Mayor Dave Bing. "If that land goes to a private owner, we then can levy taxes on that owner."Opponents say the land is being sold below market value and should be available to more Detroiters. Many shared their concerns at the council table, but a few others choose another route."The idea of chaos and shutting down a meeting because you don't get what you want, that's (an expletive)," said City Council President Charles Pugh.Council members continued through their agenda, approving six pieces of the milestone agreement and the once divisive Miller Canfield contract allowing the city to tap into $30 million being held by the state."We all have basically said we don't want a financial manager to come in here and run the city," Bing said.Pugh also had a message for those who use bad behavior to hijack progress."You can go home and tear up your whole house. I don't care. But in the City Council you're going to have respect for the process, respect for the people and respect for the fact that we're conducting business."

text: What? Seriously!? I don't even know what should be said about this. Trish wants to pose the question, do dogs even have brains? The truly sad part is I think she is serious! I must warn you though, do not think about what she is saying or you might have a stroke. I'm guessing what she actually wants you focusing on is her cleavage. In this case it is okay because it might save your life.

Purely from a practical perspective, as these are most likely to come in handy as an adult. She does have Spanish classes in school, and one of the other teachers has started offering Farsi, so when she does get older, and if she has interest, I'll sign her up for that.

Sorry, Ali! Will you go back for another blood draw in a few days or a week?
Thanks! We're working away at the potty training - er, housebreaking - but it's a process. He was such a good sweet puppy but just recently he is climbing and getting into more mischief. He's a doll, though.

I am planning to test on sat. Still not much to speak of with symptoms....maybe some breast tenderness. Kinda scared to see a negative though. And I hope that if I am not pregnant that I don't have any cysts that would make us sit out a month. FX!
Gwenn: The puppy looks so cute in you siggy pic!

FX for Saturday, Yellow!
Gwenn, adorable puppy!
I'm still waiting on a positive opk...cd17 today...I'm telling myself a late O is good for allowing my lining to build up after surgery. Hopefully tomorrow the stupid stick will show 2 dark lines!
Me - Jen 28, DH - Tom 28, DD - Quinn Eliana 10/9/08, DD Kennedy Gwen 08/07/10
Good luck!

Thanks guys! I am nervous.....really don't want to see a negative....but since I am using the progesterone I need to test cause likely my period will be delayed if I continue it so waiting to "be late" isn't helpful. FX....will update as soon as I can!

Thinking about you, Yellow!
AFM - Finally got my +opk on cd20! Man, it's going to be a long 2ww!
Me - Jen 28, DH - Tom 28, DD - Quinn Eliana 10/9/08, DD Kennedy Gwen 08/07/10
Quinn: Yeah for your +OPK...Hope the 2ww goes quickly for you!
Katie: Hope AF shows soon so you can get the next cycle rolling......and join me in a DD room ASAP!
Jen -- yay for the +OPK!!! I hope this long cycle will have a happy ending for you! I hate the 2ww... I hope it goes quickly.
Yellow -- I would LOVE to join you in a DD room! Although we prob won't be in the same one even if my next cycle were successful since I haven't even started this cycle yet.
AFM -- Taking my last BCP tonight. I'm feeling kinda bummed -- I think my neighbor is pregnant (I know they have been trying, and today she was sporting a little bump and what looked like maternity jeans). Our DS's are 1 month apart and I had thought it would be fun to be due close together again. Of course she always gets pregnant easily too. I hate it but I am so jealous.
Excited o have a graduate from this room. Congrats Yellow .
Maybe this will be a lucky cycle all round.
Yay, Jen, time to BD!
Katie, thats hard about you neighbour. But in a year or so a couple months difference in ages won't make much difference. So hopefully you get pg soon too!
I'm waiting for AF to start Femara.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I am a whopping 1DPO and already impatient to POAS
Me - Jen 28, DH - Tom 28, DD - Quinn Eliana 10/9/08, DD Kennedy Gwen 08/07/10
Well, it starts. As in my see-a-symptom-in-everything-for-the-next-two-weeks thing (wish I had an "off" button!) I had some very slight, mild cramping this morning with some very, very lightly pink/brown tinged cm, which has since gone back to white/clear. According to FF I'm 5dpo, which I've read is the absolutely earliest for implantation. So yeah. It's getting my hopes up because I am under the impression removing the retained placenta would cure all the pre-af spotting I've had for the past 1.5 years. Guess time will tell!
Me - Jen 28, DH - Tom 28, DD - Quinn Eliana 10/9/08, DD Kennedy Gwen 08/07/10
Good luck!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Jen - I hope it is implantation spotting!! You have been waiting a long time for that BFP!
Anyone have experience with acupuncture? I've started trying an acupuncture-like treatment this week. At my work (physical therapy) we have a direct current electrical stimulation unit which stimulates acupuncure points. So I had one of the other therapists try it on me this week, based on a protocol I read in an IF book. I don't know if it is doing anything for me fertility-wise, but it did make me feel less stressed and more energetic on a long day of work. Or maybe it is just a placebo effect, lol
Hey, if the placebo effect can get you pregnant, don't turn up your nose at it!
I don't know about electrical stimulation, but it seems like there are good outcomes with acupuncture. Hope it works!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Good luck Jen!
Katie, that sounds really interesting. Never heard of it before!
AFM: well, apparently I ovulated, but my progesterone was really low (12 when they want 20+) ... The hope is that I had only just ovulated and so my progesterone levels will rise. This means, you guessed it, another blood test, this one on Monday...
Ali - I hope you get good results on Monday so you can go ahead with your FET!
Jen - any more cramping or spotting?
AFM - I had CD3 b/w and u/s today and we are a go for this cycle. I asked about getting back onto Metformin which I had taken previously for PCOS, and the RE agreed so I started that tonight. I am doing 100iu of Follistim for the next 3 nights and then going for b/w on Monday. One of my close friends is going through IVF right now and she had her egg retrieval today. I am praying so hard for her BFP, and all of us in this room!
CD6 b/w today. I have been doing 100iu of Follistim for the past 3 nights but I had a problem with my injection on Saturday so I don't know if I got all the medication in or not. Go figure, I have done these injections so much and now I have a problem. Anyways, so the b/w came back and I am supposed to increase to 125iu for the next 2 nights then go in for u/s and b/w on Wednesday. I am not sure if the increase is a good thing or not, considering I don't know if all the medication went in on Saturday, but I am just going to go with it and trust it and keep doing yoga whenever I feel stressed. I did a little yoga last night which REALLY helped me calm down and get my mind off everything.
How is everyone else doing?
Katie, darn about that injection! Hopefully the extra meds are either needed, or make up for the bit you missed from the last injection (if you get what I mean.) Sounds like they are keeping a close eye on you anyway. Yoga sounds great, do you do a class, or just at home? Are you continuing with the electrical acupuncture points?
AFM: Big News! Its CD 1, and we are going to do a FET this cycle! I had bloods yesterday afternoon, and today before the results came in AF arrived. I was feeling pretty bummed, because that meant that my luteal phase was rubbish after all. But then the nurse called, and it turns out I had got the plan wrong. They are happy to do a FET this cycle even though my luteal phase was wonky. . . Its just going to be a medicated cycle rather than a natural one. On some level I'm kinda happier with that; it's more drugs but also more monitoring, which I find reassuring. (She actually didn't call 'til 4pm, and we had to decide/research by close of business whether we wanted to do a medicated cycle so I could get the meds from the pharmacy!) So tomorrow I start taking estrogen, and go in for a scan CD 10. Gosh I'm excited, but I'm also trying not to be too nervous about it. What a difference a day makes!

Co-Creating Tomorrow: cooperation and creative collaboration enable innovation and encourage your company to grow and develop. In a Bene Expert Talk, international consultants, designers and entrepreneurs will discuss how teamwork can make your company successful and the part that office design plays in this process.
With its seven theses, the second edition of the Bene trend report "New Work Spaces II" offers everyone who works in offices or is interested in office design exciting insights into the latest developments.
The CUBE_S product range stands out due to its new quality solution for fixed workplaces in compact office layouts. CUBE_S workplace modules offer a high level of comfort and space management — just like in a cockpit.
PARCS creates zones in an office that enhance the productivity and the well-being of a company's employees by facilitating various ways of working such as meeting, presenting, learning, brainstorming, focussing, reading or touch-down.
A new furniture typology for open spaces. The key element is the Dock-In Bay: a temporary, alternative workplace for individual focused work. The Docklands product range is a new haven in the office — for employees, clients and visitors alike.
The office plays a vital role in facilitating the transfer of knowledge. Those who see the office as a hub of collaboration know that its design should reflect this. AL sends an unmistakeable signal to people that it is part of a collaborative working culture.
One of the main tasks was to create an office environment which would favour the homogenisation of both corporate cultures.
Durst Phototechnik AG's new company operations in Lienz provides space for people and machines. Whilst digital printing machines are assembled and tested in the large assembling hall, desk work is done in the neighbouring office wing. The workrooms are light and airy. Bene's office furniture, namely the space efficient workplace program CUBE-S and transparent dividing walls, make an essential contribution to the pleasant ambiance.
In music, a break is the moment between two sounds. It gains its importance from what came before and after. In rhetoric it can increase the tension; it can be a full stop, a dash, or a question mark. Pupils in school feverishly await the break, and it's often the same in the office. What else can a break do?
It seems in general that the traditional three career stages of education, work and retirement have been expanded since the turn of the millennium with a separate stage of 'internship'. The phenomenon of the internship has since changed from a planned transitional aid and an interim stage to a genuine (career) stage.
Summer, Sun, and Idleness: summer is the best time for relaxation. This is why office work is especially hard to do in the warm months of the year. But wait: Music to the rescue!
Marino Formenti is seen as one of the most interesting musical personalities of our time thanks to his unusual combination of intellect and emotionality. The pianist and conductor (born in 1965) lives in Vienna and spoke to us about the importance of the pause in music, ceaseless toil and the carrot and the stick.
Rich beats, provoking RnB voices and elaborate electronics. Three times from Austria with Cid Rim, Wandl and Fontarrian, seven times from international waters. Well-established artists meet absolute newcomers. A temporary view, concentrating more on interaction than on generalisation. Still, the editorial staff is also into indie, techno, pop and rock. If you want to find out more about this panda-pandemonium, check out www.thegap.at.
A generalist and a specialist. God and Ted Mosby. Architects come in all shapes and sizes. What they actually have to be able to do has been discussed for thousands of years.
Just a general question: are you special? Is what you do special? You will probably be inclined to answer this question with a resounding Yes! Of course, because specialisation is all the rage. Any self-respecting person specialises in something – whether professionally, academically or in any other area.

More than a billion people across the world don't have access to clean drinking water. In Honduras, many have to walk a long way just to find water that's clean and safe to use.
That's why a group of students founded the National Student Water Association at Wayne State to raise awareness and help address this urgent problem.
"The water that they drink, they have to walk miles and hours just to bring back a jug that would last a couple days," says junior Rashid Al-Mahdi."This is real life for these people, it's not like this is just a one-day thing. This is real life. It kind of humbles you a little bit," says senior Muhamad Chbib.From March 7th to the 14th, they spent their spring break digging trenches, connecting pipes and installing a system that will deliver clean water."When you think about water, it's just like an unlimited resource. That's how we see it. But over there, it's just so scarce," says junior Ali Mourad."We have such a comfortable lifestyle that these individuals just don't have," says junior Ali Abdallah.The students raised the money for this trip -- about $1,500 per person -- on their own. They traveled with the student-lead group The Global Water Brigade.So many lessons came out of this journey, an eye-opening and life-changing experience for these young men, who plan to be doctors and engineers in the future.
"People around the world are dying from small things like diarrhea and parasites just because they don't have access to clean water," said junior Abess Makki."It's made me so much more humanitarian," added Abdallah. "It made me want to go into projects specifically for humanitarian efforts."The students are hoping to travel to Ghana next year to help fix the water system there.

Here is a revised version using a jelly roll which makes it go so fast! I tried to write this tutorial in a way that made the best use of strips, yet still gave a scrappy look, since you don't want all your blocks to look the same. When you use this method, you will have two blocks of each color set.
Quilt dimensions: 52" x 62"
1 jelly roll ( I used Posy by Aneela Hoey) you will only use half the strips
Main Background fabric - 2.5 yards
Border (optional) - 1.5 yards
Binding - 0.5 yard
Backing - a piece of fabric measuring at least 56" x 66"
Batting - a piece measuring at least 56" x 66"
1. From your Main Background color cut:
16 strips - 3" x width of fabric (these strips will be for your blocks)
13 strips - 2.5" x width of fabric(these strips will be sashing)
2. Choose twenty strips from your jelly roll that you want to use in this quilt. (the remaining strips can be
used for binding, or saved for another project) Separate into two piles of ten. One stack will be for your
inner granny rings, and the other set will be for your outer granny rings.
3. Now we will subcut our strips as follows:
Inner Granny Rings - cut all 10 like the diagram below:
Outer Granny Rings - cut all 10 like the diagram below:
Background - cut 10 of your 3"wide strips like the diagram below:
Background - cut 3 of your 3" wide strips like the diagram below:
Background - cut your remaining 3 strips into 3" squares. (you will need 40 of these squares)
YAY!! the cutting for your blocks is done! Your stacks should look a bit like mine above. Now let's get ready to assemble them.
4. We are going to assemble these blocks in sets. Each set will make two blocks, so we will make 10 sets of blocks, for a total of 20 blocks. It works best to first sort the sets into piles so that we don't get mixed up and sew the wrong strips together.
We'll start with our Inner Granny Rings.
Take two 5 1/2" strips from the same fabric, and their two matching 10 1/2" strips. Put them together in a pile. Do this for each of the 10 sets. You should now have ten 5 1/2" strips left. These will be for those little center squares. Put one on each pile, making sure they are a different fabric..
Now we'll add the outer ring fabrics to these piles:
For each set, there will be two 5 1/2" strips and two 10 1/2" strips of the same fabric. Place one set together with each pile, keeping in mind the values and colors, since you want these fabrics to have contrast to each other.
Now we just need to add our background fabric:
To each set add two 5 1/2" strips, four 10 1/2" strips, and four 3" squares.
Now we're ready to sew them together!
5. Take your sets to your sewing machine and sew the strips together as shown below. (do one pile or block set at a time)
Press these seams open.
Now cut your sets into strips that are 2 1/2" wide. I gave you an extra half an inch when we cut out our strips, so you may have a little bit to trim off.
Arrange your strips as shown above and sew together. You will have enough for two blocks from each set.
Press these seams to the outside, as I've shown above.
Now you can trim your block. I trimmed mine to 9" square, but yours might be slightly different. The most important thing is that your blocks are all square, and all the same size.
Sew your nine remaining block sets together, and you should end up with 20 blocks! Now we can just add the sashing and the optional border!
To make a border like mine, cut your strips 6" wide.
To make rounded corners like I did, quilt your quilt as usual, then choose your desired round shape, trace it onto each corner and cut it off. Use a bias binding to finish your quilt. Binding made on the bias will make it possible to sew around the curved corners.
52" x 62" finished quilt! I hope you find this tutorial useful! I'd love to see your finished quilts.

Shopping on a budget this year? Yep, I am too. Here's something I have not thought about before, shopping Christmas on consignment. I interview Shannon Wilburn from Just Between Friends and we talked all about how easy (and frugal) it is to shop consignment and yes, even give the items as gifts. The thing about consignment is that many folks sell items that are still brand new or used very little.
If you find clean items on consignment that have been taken care of well, you could be looking at savings of 50% or more! That's great news when it comes to Christmas shopping. Plus, many times you can get even more since those dollars are going to stretch much further.
Check out the video below for all the details and be sure to check out a Just Between Friends sale near you!

We owe the FAA a debt of gratitude for the most excellent job the agency has done to provide data to aid our flying. It is amazing that for a relatively small cost pilots have access to a wealth of navigation information. Much of it—VFR charting especially—is gorgeous, pretty enough to hang on a wall or use as wrapping paper after the expiration date.
AIN Blogs
The annual Helicopter Association International Heli-Expo show is one of the most enjoyable shows that I attend each year. It's not because the show is all about helicopters, but more about the unique nature of those who have dedicated their lives to the whirlybird industry. Helicopter people are not only intensely committed to all things rotary-winged but at the same time they're a fun-loving bunch, and this is such a small segment of the aviation industry that there are few degrees of separation between all of the participants.
Some of my favorite new and old television series are available on disc, which means they can be watched in flight. This alphabetical list of 15 recommended DVD and Blu-ray sets includes something for everyone—comedies, dramas, cop shows, even a couple of documentaries. What they have in common is quality.
I often get the feeling that general aviation is the red-headed stepchild in government's view of the aerospace industry. With apologies to the late Rodney Dangerfield, GA seems to get no respect from the federal government. There have been three comprehensive studies on aviation in the past quarter century, and a few others on narrower topics.
I have to admit that my interest in drones–or unmanned aircraft systems, as the FAA prefers to call them–has been re-energized by my students at Vaughn College of Aeronautics. Sure, like most aviation enthusiasts, I'm interested in anything that flies and have been a model airplane fan from childhood.
There may be but a handful of vintage airport terminals left in the United States, and the very fact that some exist at all depends on some specific circumstances. Typically they are found at airports that for whatever reason could not, or did not, expand at a rate to justify destroying their original terminal and replacing it with a larger, more functional structure.
The job of an FAA inspector must be incredibly boring. I imagine them sitting at their desks all day facing down gigantic piles of paper: letters of authorization, certification compliance packages, applications for operating certificates, enforcement actions, ad infinitum. And when the poor beleaguered inspector gets one pile stamped, signed and delivered, an FAA factotum appears with a new stack and thumps it onto whatever clear space remains in the office. Every day, looking up blearily from the stacks, our overworked inspector looks fondly out the window and wonders whether she can take a few minutes away from the office to visit the airport and see if her charges are playing nice or need some friendly nudging.
Some private fliers seem to want to remain "under the radar." They like that they can avoid interaction with the general public by leaving and arriving via inconspicuous FBOs, and they travel on unmarked jets, sometimes with the protection of NBAA's Block Aircraft Registration Request program. The less of an impression they make on the masses the better.
Reports that the captain of the Asiana Airlines Boeing 777-200ER that crashed at San Francisco International Airport was stressed about landing at the airport without a glideslope left many of us shaking our heads.
While my primary job was to be an observer at the Avantair bankruptcy auction–which was held in a warehouse just a mile from the company's former Clearwater (Fla.) Airport on Friday, January 10–I was also a participating bidder. Bidder number 156 to be exact.

Germ Killer We've Used for 40 Years Gets FDA Review
(NEWSER) – It's been on the market for more than 40 years, and it's found in everything from antibacterial soap to toothpaste to toys. But there's a chance that the FDA is about to declare the chemical triclosan unsafe, in a review due to be completed this year. The germ-killer is one of a host of chemicals found in everyday American products that have never been approved by the FDA, and animal research indicates that it may increase the risk of infertility, early puberty, and other hormone problems, the APreports.

Right from the start this was an easy product to learn and operate. I have recommended it to many friends and I will continue to do so.

The unit is high quality, easy to use and I had RO water the day I received it. great product By timothy on 7/8/2013 timothy would recommend this product to a friend never knew it would be this easy. these guys really make reefing affordable and easy. just flush and an hour later producing ro/di water Just what I asked For By John on 7/8/2013 John would recommend this product to a friend I shopped around before I came across this product. this come with the meager and auto shut off that alot of others do not put on for the on the ro/di system. the price is good and it works great.

By n2rockets on 6/25/2013 n2rockets would recommend this product to a friend This is an incredible product at a great price. Other units I have found elsewhere have less features and cost a lot more $. Its simple to use, high quality construction and comes with a lot of parts, extras and available options. I keep mine under the sink in the bathroom of my apartment and pull it out when I need it. I screw it onto the sink and make water for about an hour before I put it away. My roommates now use it to make water for their terrarium and have been using it to make fresh espresso! I opted for the 4 stage because its all included in 1 unit. I highly recommend this product. Everyone that visits my house is very impressed and asks where I bought this piece of equipment. Great system By Corey on 6/24/2013 Corey would recommend this product to a friend This has been a great system. I make about 30 gals of RO/DI water each week. I love the TDS meter that is provided this is the only way to know what the system is providing. Very easy to install and maintain. I have had the system just under a year and the only media I have replace is the DI Resin. Best prices anywhere. I have had no problems at all with BRS. Great product from a great company! By Cody on 6/17/2013 Cody would recommend this product to a friend I ordered this unit and received it with a few days. It was super easy to install to my sink. It went from the box to producing water in 5 minutes! I plan to hook it up in my laundry room. I wasn't sure which fitting I needed so I emailed them and they replied quickly with the links to the fittings needed. I wouldn't order an RO/DI unit from anyone else! Love it By Charles on 6/12/2013 Charles would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this as I was tired of driving 30 minutes and paying for my water. It was very easy to set up and use. I ran the hose under my carpet and keep it hooked up to my bathroom sink. All I do is turn the water on at night before and let it run until the morning. I would recommend this product. Plug and play By Brian on 6/10/2013 Brian would recommend this product to a friend Great product and a great price . Item does it all and with built in TDS meter no guessing when filters need replaced. Great product By Dwayne on 6/5/2013 Dwayne would recommend this product to a friend Have had this product for 6 months. Works great. No complaints. It arrived with a damaged pressure gauge. One call to BRS and a new one was sent no questions asked. Great service. Solid Purchase By Jeff on 6/1/2013 Jeff would recommend this product to a friend Unless there is a significant problem with your water source, this is what you want if your system is within 150 gallons. Below are the readings I get at my place using this item: Bathroom Sink - 20-25ppm in, and 0ppm out Kitchen Faucet - 20-25ppm in, and 0ppm out Garden Water - 40-45ppm in, and 0ppm out Easy to hook up and use By Chavinpat on 6/1/2013 Chavinpat would recommend this product to a friend The RO/DI unit arrived this afternoon. I unpack, hook it up, flush the system for about an hour, and made the water right way. 0.21 TDS went in 0.0 TDS came out. perfect By dangdriver on 5/27/2013 dangdriver would recommend this product to a friend if everything i order form BRS is as good as this i will never have a complaint . works perfect right out of the box no leaks no drips no errors. Very pleased so far. By Rzalph on 5/22/2013 Rzalph would recommend this product to a friend I only recieved the unit earlier this week, but I have since done a water change. At 75gpd this makes water at a perfect rate for my needs (30g cube), a 5g bucket for water change and another for top off through out the week. Probably only takes less than an hour and a half to make 5g worth. Everything came very well packaged, with good instructions, all I had to do was hook it up to the hose bib. It took less than 2 minutes. Great Value By Scott on 5/20/2013 Scott would recommend this product to a friend Awesome system and everything I needed to start making my own RO/DI water. Construction is very well done as only BRS can do. Economy 4 stage RO/DI By rustyjames on 5/16/2013 rustyjames would recommend this product to a friend I bought the 4 stage RO/DI in early 2012 after my tank had been set up so I only needed top off and water change water on a 40 breeder. Came fully set up and gave me 0 tds water till February 2013 when we had a nasty cold spell (unit was setup in my garage). The faucet adapter froze. Took my lazy butt till May to order a new one after checking a few local hardware stores. While I was at it I ordered a new new filter set for only $20 or so. Don't think they needed to be changed but it was cheap and the unit sat for a few months. They were easy to change and I'm good to go making absolutely pure water for my reef.

Pinpoint Success Story
Azox E-Commerce Solution the Perfect Pairing for Fine Wine Distributor
Like a fine wine, Azox, Inc. and its e-commerce capabilities are continually improving with the passage of time. That fact makes the Michigan-based company an ideal complement for Selected Brands (SBD), a distributor of fine wine and spirits, in Deerfield Beach, Florida (near Fort Lauderdale).
SBD needed to add a sales portal on its website to create a more efficient system for order entry, inventory control, and invoice generation and tracking. But the project stalled when SBD's software vendor couldn't provide an adequate solution.
Pinpoint Connects SBD with Azox
SBD searched Microsoft Pinpoint, and after sampling the profiles of several e-commerce vendors, the beverage distributor selected Azox, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and strategic independent software vendor (ISV).
Azox develops and markets software for the Microsoft Dynamics GP product line, creating world-class solutions in three areas: e-commerce, e-payment solutions and Dynamics GP extensions. Its leading products, eSource and eCatalog, provide fully integrated web storefronts built on Dynamics GP.
SBD primarily serves small-to-midsize wine producers that rely on the distribution channel to develop brands, build strategy and deliver goods. What sets SBD apart from other distributors are its out-of-the-box marketing ideas to help its wine-producer customers compete against larger competitors.
Giuseppe Ianni, Azox director of sales, says, "When SBD first contacted us, they made it very clear that they expected the same kind of out-of-the-box thinking from us in creating a new web portal."
Ianni says that from the beginning SBD was impressed with the capabilities of GP and that
positive customer comments about Azox on Pinpoint helped the company quickly gain credibility. SBD gave Azox the go-ahead to implement eSource and eCatalog and create its new e-commerce portal on the web.
From Scattered to Centralized
SBD serves retailers and restaurants throughout Florida and offers a high quality product portfolio that features diversity by price, geographic regions, and varietals.
The company had outfitted its sales team with the latest laptop technology to access inventory and to place orders from the field. The final piece of the proverbial puzzle was the web portal that would enable everyone—sales personnel, customer service specialists, and internal management—to gain access to a centralized database of real-time information.
Prior to working with Azox, SBD's data was scattered in various databases or in paper files.
Finding any specific piece of information—a customer's order status, for example—was a laborious, time-intensive task. As one SBD employee puts it, "People needed to have a little bit of Sherlock Holmes in them to effectively work within the prior system."
The Azox Solution: Harnessing and Extending Dynamics GP
During the implementation of eSource and eCatalog, the Azox project management team worked closely with the SBD web-master and inventory manager. This close collaboration reduced deployment to just 10 weeks. The web portal is built on the Microsoft .NET framework, which integrates with multiple tools and technologies, speeding the development of applications.
Ianni says, "Our solution harnesses everything that GP offers and extends it seamlessly to a web platform. Creating an order-entry function on the web is perhaps its most important benefit."
"Now dozens of sales people can do order entry via the web portal and there are no software licensing restrictions. It's become much easier and faster for placing customer orders, looking up previous orders, or even printing invoices," he adds.
The SBD sales team can quickly find particular types of wine by using multiple search criteria and narrowing down its selections with rapid efficiency. After the web portal was configured, the Azox project manager coordinated training sessions to instruct SBD how to effectively maintain the site.
Of course, the big question is: How has the web portal from Azox impacted the SBD bottom line? And the answer is: "Amazingly well."
"Our sales have consistently increased over the past year, and the Azox sales portal has been a key component to our success. Information flows quickly and smoothly in every direction. And the Azox support staff is extremely knowledgeable and quick to respond," says Terri Froelich, CEO of SBD.
Pinpoint Rating + Reviews: How Azox Benefits—and You Can Too
Positive comments from Azox customers have earned the company consistent five-star ratings—the highest rating possible—on the Pinpoint site. The following comment is typical:
"We've been working with Azox since late 2004 and continue to be pleased with their products and service. We're using a variety of their products in a number of critical functions and appreciate Azox's hands-on approach."
Ianni says, "Obviously it's very advantageous to have other prospective customers read our excellent reviews. But that five-star rating also helps motivate us. We know that we have to work hard to keep that rating so that Pinpoint will continue to benefit our marketing efforts."

(WNFL) - Freshman Andrew Endicott is getting a chance this week to become Wisconsin's new field goal and extra-point kicker. Endicott is competing with sophomore Jack Russell at practice, as the 25th-ranked Badgers get ready to play at Illinois on Saturday night. Co-special teams coordinator Jeff Genyk said Endicott has done a great job with kickoffs -- and he'll stay in that role against the Illini. Endicott has made 15 kickoffs for the Badgers, averaging just over 61 yards per kick. Genyk said he wanted to see how Endicott matches up with Russell in making the pressure-packed field goals. Redshirt junior Kyle French was the Badgers' kicker for their first six games, but he was benched after missing key field goal tries against Northwestern and Ohio State. Coach Gary Andersen gave Russell the kicking job, and Genyk was allowed to let Endicott compete. Russell is 0-for-3 in field goal attempts this season. He was an all-state kicker at Waunakee High School. Wisconsin comes into the Illini contest at 2-and-1 in the Big Ten and 4-and-2 overall. Illinois will try to even its 0-and-1 league mark. They're 3-and-2 overall.

Wildlife, Wonders & Wilderness
Yellowstone Wolf Project
In 1995 and 1996, a total of 31 wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. This monumental undertaking marked the first deliberate attempt to return a top-level carnivore to a large ecosystem. Although the Yellowstone Wolf Project is young, its impact has been significant. Most notably, wolves have affected the dynamics of the entire Yellowstone ecosystem. Understanding and monitoring their impact is one of the Foundation's highest priorities. YPF donors support the project's equipment needs, long-term research on
the wolf's impacts on the ecosystem, sufficient aerial monitoring, and
the seasonal staff necessary to run the project effectively on a
day-to-day basis.
The Yellowstone Park Foundation works to raise approximately $250,000 every year to help make up for the wolf project's funding shortfall.

What do all of these foods have in common? It is something that many of us throw away when we cook BEANS! I pressure cook all of my beans and the liquid is something mighty special, especially chickpea cooking liquid. It actually GELS like a chicken stock! I use it in my cooking/baking in a variety of ways.
I love using this liquid gold instead of oil for two reasons
- Oil is very high in calories.
- Good quality oil is expensive.
Lately, I have been using it as the liquid in making chickpea and my gluten free yeasted flat breads as well as gluten free pizza dough. The other day I made some amazing Barley Flat bread that literally cost around 20 cents a piece! I ground barley in my vitamix into flour, added some herbs , dry yeast and warm chickpea cooking liquid. I mixed everything together and let it sit on the counter for a couple of hours, then cooked them in my non stick skillet (click on the flatbread links above to see the cooking method and the pizza link to see the consistency of how the batter should look).
For salad dressings you can replace literally almost all of the oil using bean cooking liquid. Here are a couple recipes:
- 1/2 c Chickpea Cooking Liquid
- 1 T dijon
- 1 T apple cider vinegar
- Pinch Stevia
- 1 big clove garlic pressed
- Salt to taste
- 2 T nutritional yeast
- 1 t dried tarragon
- pinch coriander
- pinch nutmeg
- white pepper to taste
- 1 T best quality olive oil
|Seitan Picatta
- Traditional Hummus
- Chipotle Hummus
- Black Bean Hummus
- Chocolate Hummus! ( we can't forget awesome chocolate goodness!)

(BPT) - With impending health care changes, employers and employees are looking for ways to offset some of the rising costs of health care with the goal of getting healthy at the same time.
MyHealthCheck, available from Life Time-The Healthy Way of Life Company, offers a revolutionary way to manage health care costs for both employers and employees. This includes providing employees with a comprehensive solution that identifies risk factors, promotes ongoing guidance with wellness coaches and a 12-month reassessment to measure progress.
"We identified a need and are offering companies and their employees an innovative solution to a complicated and expensive issue - rising health care costs," says Holt Vaughn, senior director of myHealthCheck at Life Time. "Our goal is to transform an increasingly sedentary workforce into a healthy, productive population - while saving people money in the process."
Incentives based on personal health outcomes are growing in popularity. Here are some things to keep in mind as you shop for insurance or if your workplace decides to employ such a program.
Look for a program with measurable results
Traditional wellness programs reward employees just for signing up, but the health assessment offered through myHealthCheck links individual health risks to premium incentives and rewards employees for healthy results. "We are focused on results of actions taken," says Vaughan. "As opposed to simply relying on employee participation, we aim to help companies create a healthier, more productive workforce."
One size does not fit all
It is important to evaluate individual fitness levels, lifestyle and health. Through an industry-leading assessment that includes lab work, body analysis, metabolic testing and wellness coaching, myHealthCheck provides all participants with a personalized health profile. This can be used to set goals and measure results. To keep tracking simple, employees are also offered a comprehensive view of their health via the myHealthDashboard and a health score of up to 100 designed to keep employees motivated throughout the measurable period.
You are not alone
Support plays a key role in the success of any health plan or incentive program. A myHealthAdvisor helps each employee create a plan to address their individual health risks.

Historians and conspiracy theorists analyze the attack that plunged America into World War II.
- Hear why some people believe that the attack was not a surprise.
- Examine the evidence and decide for yourself.
- Filled with riveting footage and survivor testimony.
The attack on Pearl Harbor shook the nation to its roots. But to some, official explanations of misguided assumptions and missed clues did not account for the enormity of the catastrophe. CONSPIRACY examines alternative theories about the events leading up to December 7, 1941.
Was a plot hatched in Washington to solve FDR's ""problem"" of convincing a reluctant country to fight the Nazis? Did FDR send a secret cable just days before the attack ordering Pearl Harbor chiefs to stand down? Did U.S. intelligence intercept a message from Tokyo asking its spies in Hawaii to map the harbor for an imminent air attack? More than six decades later, the controversy still bubbles, and our experts probe for substance beneath the sensational assertions.

Counteroffer: Medicare, Social Security on the table as GOP issues new 'fiscal cliff' offer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Republicans put forth a $2.2 trillion "fiscal cliff" counteroffer to President Barack Obama on Monday, calling for raising the eligibility age for Medicare, lowering cost-of-living hikes for Social Security benefits and bringing in $800 billion in higher tax revenue -- but not raising rates for the wealthy.
The White House declared the Republicans still weren't ready to "get serious" and again vowed tax rate increases will be in any measure Obama signs to prevent the government from the cliff's automatic tax hikes and sharp spending cuts. Administration officials also hardened their insistence that Obama is willing to take the nation over the cliff rather than give in to Republicans and extend the tax cuts for upper-income earners.
With the clock ticking toward the year-end deadline, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other Republicans said they were proposing a "reasonable solution" for negotiations that Boehner says have been going nowhere. Monday's proposal came in response to Obama's plan last week to raise taxes by $1.6 trillion over the coming decade but largely exempt Medicare and Social Security from budget cuts.
Though the GOP plan proposes to raise $800 billion in higher tax revenue over the same 10 years, it would keep the Bush-era tax cuts -- including those for wealthier earners targeted by Obama -- in place for now. Dismissing the idea of raising any tax rates, the Republicans said the new revenue would come from closing loopholes and deductions while lowering rates.
Boehner called that a "credible plan" and said he hoped the administration would "respond in a timely and responsible way." The offer came after the administration urged Republicans to detail their proposal to cut popular benefit programs like Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid.
US officials: US, allies weighing military options if Syria uses chemical weapons
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House and its allies are weighing military options to secure Syria's chemical and biological weapons, after U.S. intelligence reports show the Syrian regime may be readying those weapons and may be desperate enough to use them, U.S. officials said Monday.
President Barack Obama, in a speech at the National Defense University on Monday, pointedly warned Syrian President Bashar Assad not to use his arsenal.
"Today I want to make it absolutely clear to Assad and those under his command: The world is watching," Obama said. "The use of chemical weapons is and would be totally unacceptable. And if you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons, there will be consequences and you will be held accountable."
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in Prague for meetings with Czech officials, said she wouldn't outline any specifics.
"But suffice it to say, we are certainly planning to take action if that eventuality were to occur," Clinton said.

William and Kate are expecting their first child, duchess hospitalized with morning sickness
LONDON (AP) -- Britain doesn't have to wait any longer: Prince William's wife, Kate, is pregnant.
St. James's Palace made the announcement Monday, saying that the Duchess of Cambridge -- formerly Kate Middleton -- has a severe form of morning sickness and is currently in a London hospital. William was at his wife's side.
The news drew congratulations from around the world, with the hashtag "royalbaby" trending globally on Twitter.
The couple's first child will be third in line to the throne -- behind William and his father, Prince Charles -- leapfrogging the gregarious Prince Harry and possibly setting up the first scenario in which a female heir could benefit from new gender rules about succession.
The palace would not say how far along the 30-year-old duchess is, only that she has not yet reached the 12-week mark.
CDC says US flu season arrives early, could be bad, but one-third of Americans are vaccinated
NEW YORK (AP) -- Flu season in the U.S. is off to its earliest start in nearly a decade -- and it could be a bad one.
Health officials on Monday said suspected flu cases have jumped in five Southern states, and the primary strain circulating tends to make people sicker than other types. It is particularly hard on the elderly.
"It looks like it's shaping up to be a bad flu season, but only time will tell," said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The good news is that the nation seems fairly well prepared, Frieden said. More than a third of Americans have been vaccinated, and the vaccine formulated for this year is well-matched to the strains of the virus seen so far, CDC officials said.
Higher-than-normal reports of flu have come in from Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. An uptick like this usually doesn't happen until after Christmas. Flu-related hospitalizations are also rising earlier than usual, and there have already been two deaths in children.
Navy honors member of Marine special operations team with Navy Cross; 3 given Silver Stars
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AP) -- Navy Secretary Ray Mabus on Monday honored four members of a Marine special operations team in a rare public ceremony for those who have served in the covert forces.
In a ceremony at Camp Pendleton, Calif., Mabus awarded Marine Sgt. William Soutra Jr. the Navy Cross, the Navy's highest honor and the military's second highest honor, for tending to the wounded while guiding the platoon to safety during an attack in Afghanistan's Helmand Province in July 2010 that spanned over two days.
Three others on his team, including a Navy corpsman, were given Silver Stars.
Often the heroic actions of those on special operations teams are only known to each other and the leadership because of their covert work on classified missions.
"This is a chance to recognize people who don't get recognized much," Mabus said.
Military appeals court ousts judge from Fort Hood case, tosses order to forcibly shave suspect
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- The military's highest court ousted the judge in the Fort Hood shooting case Monday and threw out his order to have the suspect's beard forcibly shaved before his court-martial.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces ruled that Col. Gregory Gross didn't appear impartial while presiding over the case of Maj. Nidal Hasan, who faces the death penalty if convicted in the 2009 shootings on the Texas Army post that killed 13 people and wounded more than two dozen others.
But the court said it was not ruling on whether the judge's order violated Hasan's religious rights. Hasan has argued that his beard is a requirement of his Muslim faith, although facial hair violates Army regulations.
"Should the next military judge find it necessary to address (Hasan's) beard, such issues should be addressed and litigated anew," judges wrote in the ruling.
Hasan appealed after Gross ordered that he must be clean-shaven or be forcibly shaved before his court-martial, a military trial.
Israel feels heat from European and US allies over settlement announcement
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel rejected a wave of American and European condemnations Monday over plans to build thousands of new homes in West Bank settlements, vowing to press forward with the construction in the face of widespread international opposition.
The announcement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office was likely to deepen a rift that has emerged between Israel and some of its closest allies following the U.N.'s recognition of a Palestinian state last week. The U.N. decision appears to be fueling a tougher international line against Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
Israeli ambassadors were summoned for consultations in five European capitals, and European officials warned of other potential measures against Israel. In Washington, the U.S. said the Israeli actions were "especially damaging" to peace prospects.
Italian Premier Mario Monti and French President Francois Hollande issued a joint statement saying they were "deeply worried" by Israel's settlement plans. The two men, meeting in Lyon, France, called the Israeli decisions "serious and illegal" and a "serious obstacle" to Mideast peace.
Netanyahu, however, showed no signs of bending. His office said Israel would continue to stand up for its interests "even in the face of international pressure, and there will be no change in the decision taken."
Software founder John McAfee says he's still free, but has left Belize
MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Software company founder John McAfee said Monday he has fled from Belize using a bizarre ruse, adding yet another chapter in what threatens to become one of the biggest media fugitive frenzies since O.J. Simpson led police on a low-speed chase in 1994.
McAfee claimed in a blog posting he had evaded authorities by staging an elaborate distraction in neighboring Mexico.
In an email to The Associated Press, McAfee confirmed a posting to his website in which he described, in what appeared to be joking tones, how he mounted the ruse.
"My 'double,' carrying on (sic) a North Korean passport under my name, was detained in Mexico for pre-planned misbehavior," McAfee wrote in the posting, "but due to indifference on the part of authorities (he) was evicted from the jail and was unable to serve his intended purpose in our exit plan."
It was a turn typical of the bizarre saga of the eccentric anti-virus company founder wanted for questioning in connection with the killing of fellow American ex-pat Gregory Viant Faull, who was shot to death at the Belize island where they both had homes in early November.
Families of Chiefs linebacker Belcher, slain girlfriend Perkins grieve in wake of tragedy
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Breaking their silence for the first time, the family of the woman shot and killed by Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher said Monday their "hearts are truly broken" and asked for privacy while they grieve the loss of two loved ones.
Belcher shot and killed his 22-year-old girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, at their Kansas City home Saturday before driving to Arrowhead Stadium, where Belcher committed suicide in the practice facility's parking lot, police said. The couple had a 3-month-old daughter, Zoey.
"Our hearts are truly broken for Kasi was a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, mother, cousin and friend," the family said in an emailed statement. The family also asked that the media "respect our privacy during this difficult time."
"Please keep us in your hearts and prayers as well as the Belcher family," the statement said.
Kansas City police Sgt. Marisa Barnes said Monday that authorities hope to deliver an investigative report to prosecutors on Tuesday.
