Nanninga remembered one year later
ENCINITAS — Robert "Bob" Nanninga, the venerable activist, actor, poet, writer, businessman and friend to many who worked tirelessly to change the face of a community died of pneumonia one year ago on Feb. 14. He was 45 years old.
The anniversary of Nanninga's death is a bitter pill to swallow for those who knew him best. Fellow artist and activist Marsha Lindsey said his absence has had a tremendous impact on her and the community. "Bob was my very good friend, so it's painful to lose such an awesome, inspiring friend."
From the environmental challenges of the area to theatrical, cultural and political issues, Nanninga had a hand in everything. "He left lots of projects for the rest of us to pick up and run with," she said. "He might have been one person but he left many, many shoes for us to fill."
Nanninga was a columnist for this paper for several years, writing "Observations from the Edge" in a way that provoked thought among readers and sometimes controversy.
In addition to his work as an actor, artist, poet and journalist, Nanninga was also a businessman. Nanninga, with his longtime partner Keith Shillington, opened the E Street Café in downtown Encinitas on Sept. 3, 2004 — his birthday.
Lindsey helped build the popular gathering place. "It took us eight months to build the café, so it was like having a baby together."
"We had 15 years together and not a single moment of it was dull," Shillington said in a previous interview. When asked what he would miss most about Nanninga, Shillington paused briefly. "The enormous wealth of information and engaging in intellectual conversation," he replied. "Bob's articles represent at least one of the conversations we had every week." Lindsey said it's quieter around town without Nanninga but that others are taking up the slack. "People still talk about him, he's still inspiring them, so he's still present in that aspect."
Dody Tucker, executive director of the Downtown Encinitas MainStreet Association, said she has drawn inspiration from Nanninga, even after his death. "I often find myself thinking, 'What would Bob do?' when I'm feeling vulnerable or sad," she said. "He was such a strong, fearless personality and force for and of nature that his very presence always gave me boost."
Nanninga was a champion of open space preservation, smart growth urban planning and supported conservation measures. From volunteering at the San Dieguito Heritage Museum and teaching elementary students the finer points of theater to spear-heading the Environmental Film Festival and Environment Day, Nanninga was known for putting in long hours of hard work.
His service included traditional avenues for change. He served as a commissioner on the Parks and Recreation committee from 2001 to 2006. His political ambitions lead him to campaign three times for a seat on the City Council. While he was never elected, Nanninga's name recognition and activism grew with each political cycle.
But it is his larger than life personality that many people fondly remember most. "Just watching him strut into my office would put a smile on my face," Tucker said. "I loved him dearly and consider myself very fortunate to have known him."
"What I miss the most about Bob is his laugh and interpretive dancing," Lindsey quipped. "If you knew Bob, you knew Bob completely. He was his true self all the time. Except when he was acting."

I remember Bob as being kind and caring. He always made me smile, but he knew what was really important. He once helped a teenaged client of mine with his poetry and music. I miss him and will never forget this dear and entertaining man.
I knew Bob through his writings and a few emails back and forth. I always enjoyed his writing, did not always share his point-of-view, but thoroughly admired his spirit, drive, and commitment. I remember emailing him on occasion and addressing him, or referring to him as "my fellow Palomar alum." I was thinking yesterday as I first went through the Coast News, how great would it be if his partner or somebody would make Bob's articles and blogs available on CD or DVD. Any thoughts, people?
Bob's body of work is huge, and I've been spending some of my spare minutes sifting through it. I've uploaded a handful of his columns to our website (www.bobservations.com) and will do more as time and energy permit.
I am planning to publish "Nursery Crimes [Tales of a Grim Fairy]" and another volume of poetry fairly soon; announcements of same will be on the aforementioned website.
Bob's presence is sorely missed here by the troubled monkeys on this planet. And I'm just one of them…

Air Service Show and Tell
Industry officials offered up their take on where the airlines are headed while airport executives shared lessons learned at the 10th Annual National Air Service Conference
SALT LAKE CITY -- The 10th Annual National Air Service Conference, sponsored by the American Association of Airport Executives and Great Lakes Chapter AAAE, was held here in late January. Industry officials offered up their take on where the airlines are headed in the coming months, while airport executives shared lessons learned on the never
ending battle of retaining existing air service and attracting new carriers. Here are some highlights.
Airline analyst with CALYON SECURITIES, INC., Ray Neidl says of United Airlines, "If someone would have managed properly, they would have buried everyone else." He expects that UAL is on the right track to exit bankruptcy protection with the right cost structure, but with unhappy employees and pension plans that will be terminated. "If employees are working against you, it will destroy you," he says.
Neidl says he fully expected that US Airways would have been liquidated by January 2005. The industry has been "aggressively cutting costs," he adds, "in areas that I never thought would be possible," referring to employee costs, which can be as much as 40 percent of an airline's expenses.
While Neidl says the legacy carriers need to continue to reduce operating expenses, they don't need to be as low as those of the low-cost carriers. He suggests an 8.5 cent cost per available seat mile for the majors to be successful. And in terms of being successful in the eyes of passengers, Neidl says, "Legacy carriers' model still works for some travelers."
"There is too much domestic capacity preventing carriers from raising fares," says Neidl. "We're never going to see fares raised significantly again."
Neidl offers three solutions for the abundance of carriers in the market: liquidation; mergers; or a hybrid partnership.
"I'm not a big fan of mergers; they are usually disastrous for stockholders," Neidl adds. "Delta and Western Airlines was the only successful one."
If Northwest Airlines, Continen-tal, and Delta Air Lines were to form a partnership on noncompetitive routes, suggests Neidl, "they could be successful against the two giants, United Airlines and American Airlines."
In regard to the low-cost carriers, Neidl says there are quite a few that have merit, including jetBlue, Southwest, AirTran, Frontier, America West, and Spirit Airlines. JetBlue has good management, good capital ("You want to be heavily capitalized because if something goes wrong, the big guys will come after you."), and its own niche. "JetBlue started making its mark with the JFK to Florida market. That's what made them work."
The Embraer 190, which jetBlue will begin flying this summer, will be "hugely successful," says Neidl. "You can't even tell it's an RJ. JetBlue will be further bleeding the major airline hubs by flying these."
Real growth, says Neidl, will come with 70-seat and maybe even 90-seat aircraft. In terms of scope clauses limiting the use of these aircraft, Neidl says Delta has led the pack by liberalizing its scope clause, "but hasn't abolished it. JetBlue is going to break the dyke ... making 90-seaters more popular."
Of Delta's new "simplified" fare structure, Neidl says, "Anybody who observes this industry knew it was coming. It's what the customer wants." He adds that carriers can cut costs with not having people managing dynamic fare systems. Neidl says because Delta has more point to point, lower yielding markets, it had more of an incentive to go to the simplified structure. However, he expects other carriers will follow.
Neidl says he's "not a fan" of the airline within an airline concept, such as Delta's Song or United's Ted. "I don't think Ted is going to work. Song may work because it's more point to point leisure markets." He adds that one positive may come out of Delta's experience with Song: Delta is learning through Song how to operate mainline.
Other comments from Neidl on Southwest:
"As soon as Southwest said they wanted it (ATA's leasehold at Midway), I knew ATA was a dead duck. What they're investing in Midway is pocket change to Southwest."
"Southwest is drooling at Charlotte ..."
"Whether US Airways goes in the next 12 months, Southwest is going to push them out."

do you have any reference for the above statement about Kyabje Pabongkha Rinpoche?
Please do not be so quick to criticize Je Pabongkha, as many Gelugpas lineages come through Pabongkha, and many Gelugpas are practising sadhanas/six session yoga written by Pabongkha himself.
I think Pabongkha's letters to Chinese general opens him to many many criticisms, thats historical fact, also the rewriting of dakini sadhanas and six yogas as you mention, and he did that by himself, for himself without any help from members here.
with all that, then when one understands the whole picture, his beloved gyalpo spirit worship etc, one should look objectively at all his activity and ask if it is really worthy of some naive fanboy worship?

Salary Survey 2008
Financially speaking, 2008 has been quite a year. The ups and downs were drastic, and the downs pretty much took over in September, when the mortgage and credit crises exploded and major banks crumbled. The woes on Wall Street hit the economy hard, and many organizations were forced to pull back spending and undergo layoffs.
Yet, it appears the field of IT is resilient. According to the results of our Salary Survey, which polled more than 35,000 IT professionals worldwide, the average IT salary rose from $49,170 in 2007 to $58,520 this year. In the U.S. alone, the average total salary — including benefits and incentives — rose from $76,920 to $88,640.
[For our list of average 2008 U.S. salaries by certification, please click here.]
And when it came to pay raises, the majority of respondents said they received a raise in the past year, typically between 5 and 10 percent (see Fig. 1).
Globally, respondents averaged a 15.6 percent increase in pay, down from last year's 17.1 percent but still significantly better than wage increases across industries. The number of people receiving at least a 25 percent increase dropped from 25.8 in 2007 to 21.8 this year, however.
In the U.S., the top five highest-paying certs shuffled around a bit compared with last year. Brocade Certified SAN Designer (BCSD), sometimes referred to as the Brocade Certified Fabric Designer (BCFD), came in on top with a whopping average salary of $120,770. At a close second with…

I caught up with two leading ladies this weekend at the Annual IMF meeting in Tokyo. Each navigating different economic landscapes with different solutions.
IMF managing director Christine Lagarde, who is knee deep in the world's austerity and hopefully growth plans, and India's ICICI bank CEO Chanda Kochhar who is enjoying 20-plus percent growth as that country's second largest bank.
Lagarde finds herself at the nucleus of the globe, managing expectations for the troubled euro zone as well as the slowdown elsewhere in the world, most notably China. She seemed to back away from the harsh realities of "austerity all the time" in troubled Greece.
In fact, I noticed a difference in her demeanor toward Greece. She also said austerity on top of austerity doesn't work, and "the key is to get the country back on track."
"If we put upon them obligations that they simply cannot deliver on, because it's just too hard and too much -- the program is not going to be credible. So, our position is that we would rather have a program that is difficult but credible rather than a program that is going to be so difficult that it is not credible. It takes time," she said.
(Read More: Euro Divides, 'Violent Revolution' May Loom — Critic)
Whether that means she will agree, along with the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission (EC) to provide the next tranche of money to Greece in the next few weeks remains to be seen. Greece has said the coffers will go dry by the end of November as the country will run out of money.
(Read More: Merkel Offers Words of Support as Greek Debt Worsens)
She said it's a process and the troika is watching the structural reforms that have occurred. I actually cannot imagine Greece staying in the euro zone but she would not comment on that. Lagarde told me that while the ECB has done a good job in stabilizing the euro zone's problems, it is fiscal policy and structural reform now that must coincide with monetary policy reforms such as tax reforms and growth policies.
While she would not address her own country France's recent moves to tax the highest earners at a staggering 75 percent tax rate, she did say typically what works to goose economic growth is spending cuts combined with tax changes such as broadening the tax base while lowering tax rates, not increasing taxes as severely as France has.
She was quick to remind me that while the IMF has cut economic growth expectations, the global economy is still growing some 3 percent and that Asia is increasingly critical to that growth.
India Surprises
While China has slowed down from its peak growth levels, it has been India that has surprised some on the upside due to very vibrant domestic demand.
In fact, Chanda Kochhar, recognized as one of the most powerful women in the world as CEO of ICICI, was very vibrant and optimistic. She told me new policies by the government of India announced in the last 4 weeks will go a long way in increasing foreign investment and spiking domestic demand. She said she expects ICICI to grow 22-24 percent next year and is seeing growth in all sorts of loans from mortgages to auto loans and trade.
She says her bank boasts 13 percent tier one capital, ensuring no capital needs and said a steady increase in population growth should continue to boost domestic demand. She expects some 11-12 million people to join the workforce every year, which has been the case now for several years.
(Read More: India Declares We're Back in Business)
She expects those people to earn more, spend more and want to live a better life. She is hoping ICICI can help them do just that.
Both women told me one way to see Asia keep its vibrant growth going is to encourage more women to participate in the workforce. A view of two corners of the world from two different powerful women.

The 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Access Point provides users with
access to network resources, the Internet, and e-mail at speeds up to
54 Mbps and at distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). More information
about the product is available at
Remote exploitation of an input validation vulnerability in 3Com Corp.'s
OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Access Point allows attackers to glean
sensitive router information.
The 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Access Point (AP) provides an
administrative interface via a web server accessible on port 80. This
interface is exposed by default on the internal ethernet interface and
the wireless interface, and it is also possible to expose it on the
external ethernet interface. The problem specifically exists due to
insufficient privilege checks when accessing various URLs without going
through the formal logon process. An unauthenticated attacker can glean
sensitive information from the device via the following URLs:
These URLs will expose the administrative username and password in clear
text, the WEP key and SSID, and the router log file respectively.
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to glean sensitive
router information, allowing the attacker to gain full control of the
device. Compromise of the Access Point (AP) allows an attacker to
potentially redirect traffic, access nodes behind the AP that are
otherwise unaddressable and potentially monitor traffic from a remote
location. This can lead to further compromise of other computers.
It has been reported that firmware version 1.00.08 shipped on the 3Com
OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Access Point is vulnerable. It is suspected
that earlier versions are also vulnerable.
iDEFENSE is currently unaware of any workarounds for this issue.
Firmware version 1.03.07A for 3CRWE454G72 has been released to addresses
the vulnerability.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
names CAN-2005-0112 to these issues. This is a candidate for inclusion

---- — SALISBURY — Hoping to allay local residents' fears, the owners of G. Mello Disposal Corp. are promising their expansion into town will not pose a potentially odoriferous problem for the neighborhood.
The 38-year-old, Georgetown-based trash hauler will only be garaging and repairing its vehicles at its new Route 1 location in Salisbury, not storing trash onsite, marketing and public relations director Kelly Mello Woodsum said.
The company has a firm policy that it does not "ever leave a full trash truck" parked overnight, she said.
George Mello, the company founder and Woodsum's father, is meticulous about that rule, said his daughter, in large part to prevent odors, which can bother neighbors and attract animals.
Woodsum added the company's hauling vehicles are power-washed often and when the weather warms up, deodorizing powder is added to the trucks to alleviate smells that can be exacerbated in the heat.
"Trash has a bad reputation," Woodsum said. "Trash is trash; it is what it is, but it's a necessity we have and we deal with it. But we keep our location and our vehicles as neat and clean as possible, because that's the way our father insists on running the company."
Efficiency is another reason trucks are unloaded nightly, usually in Haverhill, Woodsum said.
In addition to providing private trash pickup, Mello is the contracted hauler for Newburyport, Amesbury and West Newbury and bills those communities by weight, she said.
Empty trucks are weighed quite early each morning before they leave the site, then weighed again before being unloaded. Woodum said it would be very inefficient to take a truck for unloading at 5:30 a.m. and then bring it back at the end of the day to be weighed again.
"No matter how late in the day, our trucks will not come back to Salisbury with trash in them," Woodsum said. "We dump our trucks throughout the day at the appropriate locations, including our own location in Georgetown."
Concerns about the company's recent purchase of the former site of the Wall Ford dealership arose in January and were discussed at a recent selectmen's meeting. Selectmen Fred Knowles and Jerry Klima as well as Town Manager Neil Harrington said they had been contacted by residents worried about odor.
Harrington said town officials will monitor the site for odor and will act quickly if problems arise, but he believed Mello has a good reputation and wants to do everything possible for the host community.
Woodsum said should questions or concerns ever arise, a company representative would be happy to attend a selectmen's meeting and discuss any issue officials may have.
Woodsum said since the roughly 15 Mello vehicles will be garaged and repaired at the Salisbury site, the company will pay vehicle excise tax to the town. However, no business will be conducted at the Salisbury site; that activity will remain at the company's Georgetown office. A full-time mechanic will be the only staffer on site in Salisbury, she added.
Mello will retain its other garage location on Route 97 in Groveland to service its customers in that area.
Woodsum said the Salisbury site simply provides an ideal location for the company's trucks that service clients in Greater Newburyport and southern New Hampshire.
Mello considered expanding to Salisbury previously when the former site of Fraser Automotive, at the other end of Route 1 closer to Newburyport, went up for auction, Woodsom said, but it lost in the bidding to Enpro. When the Wall Ford location, which is toward the Seabrook end of Route 1, became available, Mello moved quickly.
"Salisbury's proximity to (interstates) 95 and 495 is what makes it so attractive," Woodsum said. "And we service many (customers) in southern New Hampshire. Accessing them from our Groveland site on (Route) 97 was cumbersome, because traffic on 97 can really slow things down."

Cisco Systems Inc. is the No. 1 maker of communications gear that lets businesses and consumers connect to the Internet. Based in San Jose, Calif., the company built its business by selling routers and switches to large corporations and telecommunication providers. In recent years, Cisco has made a large push into the market for consumer networking gear with its acquisition of Linksys, a maker of low-cost Internet routers, and Scientific Atlanta, which makes digital boxes for cable television.
Cisco divides its markets into products for large corporate enterprises, government agencies, telecommunication service companies, consumers and small- to midsize businesses. It business units are organized by region: the U.S. and Canada, Europe, Emerging Markets, Japan and Asia Pacific.
Cisco is hyper-competitive and has a target of adding 20% more business in its adjacent markets each year. It enters new markets typically through acquisitions and uses its global sales force and broad distribution channel to gain market share.
Under CEO John Chambers, Cisco overhauled its management in 2009. Executives work on committees -- dubbed councils and boards -- and the company makes 70% of its decisions collaboratively, up from 10% just two years ago.
Cisco's management structure is set up to be collaborative rather than top-down. Decisions are made by committee and social networking is promoted to connect its workforce. It has a myriad of company blogs penned by employees. You can follow the company on Twitter, Facebook and watch its YouTube videos.
Cisco has made repeat appearances on Fortune magazine's list of 100 Best Companies To Work For, which recently bestowed kudos to the company for being one of the largest U.S. providers of on-site childcare. At its San Jose, Calif., headquarters, Cisco has room for 800 children, whose parents can track them during the day via computer links.
Cisco offers a variety of training programs and courses to employees and nonemployed students, as well as certification programs to IT professionals around the world.

Camel's Milk
Author Notes: Camel's milk has a very strong taste, much more so than cow's or goat's milk. It also must be consumed very slowly for it to be digestible. Once prepared, it should be served cold after hours of refrigeration, or warmed, as in the following recipe from our book "Cooking with the Bible: Recipes for Biblical Meals." - Anthony Chiffolo
Serves 8-12
- 6 cups fresh camel's milk
- 1 teaspoon saffron
- 2-3 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- Pour milk and sugar into a pot and bring to a boil at low heat. Add the saffron and cardamom or nutmeg and boil for 2–3 minutes. Add more sugar if desired to sweeten further. Serve in warmed mugs.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Recipe with Cardamom

i am sorry to have to tell you that boiling camel milk is killing all the beneficial ingredients. so why than comsume camel milk? camel milk has to be consumed raw. if you want to warm it a little, do so au bain-marie and not on an open flame!
it is very nice to ferment camel milk. add 3 soaked and pureed apricots and add a probiotic or yoghurt starter. let ferment 24 hours in ca. 40 degrees Celsius.

Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi
Ross Mirkarimi (pronounced Meehr-kah-reem-e), was elected San Francisco District 5 Supervisor in 2004, and reelected in 2008.
Supervisor Mirkarimi has authored more than 80 ordinances that have had both citywide and national impact. Apart from his reputation for sponsoring cutting-edge laws, he is also well known for his 24/7 focus on issues that chronically challenge his district and the City.
Highlights of Ross's legislative accomplishments:
Ross was born in Chicago to an Iranian father and mother of Russian descent.
Ross spent most of his youth in Rhode Island, obtained his undergraduate degree from St. Louis University (Political Science and Russian Literature), and earned Master's degrees from Golden Gate University (Economics) and the University of San Francisco (Environmental Science/Management). He is also a graduate of the San Francisco Police Academy, where he was class president.
Prior to being elected Supervisor, Ross served as an investigator with the San Francisco District Attorney's Office for almost nine years, specializing in economic and environmental crimes.
Community organizing and activism have always been a significant part of Ross's life, as student body president of St. Louis University, president of the Missouri Public Interest Research Group (MOPIRG), and co-founder of the California Green Party.

A politics-driven president
A pledge to rid Washington, D.C., of nasty politics was central to Barack Obama's appeal in 2008. Five years later, however, it is clear President Obama has been a spectacular failure on this front. As Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas, told USA Today, it is clear the Obama administration has "a culture of politics above all else."
In October 2009, the White House apparently tried to exclude Fox News from a news-media availability with a Treasury Department official reviewing the pay of executives at companies that received bailout money. The Washington Post has revealed lobbyists, especially those pushing causes favored by Mr. Obama, visit the White House regularly.

This week, Oprah Winfrey interviewed former champion cyclist Lance Armstrong. According to The Washington Post, he confessed at long last to using performance-enhancing drugs.
Winfrey said that although Armstrong had admitted to doping, she found him to be hesitant when it came to showing actual remorse. "He did not come clean in the manner I expected," she said.
And so it goes with celebrity apologies. Some are sincerely tendered with much attendant tear-streaked hyperventilation, while others drip with such unambiguous, tar-thick contempt that they actually make matters worse. Indeed, celebrity apologies are like snowflakes — no two are alike. But they all make for fascinating, compelling viewing.
Read ahead to see 10 examples of memorable apologies from politicians, athletes, actors, and more.

Atlanta >Restaurants >
Pizza >Everybody's Pizza
1593 N Decatur Rd NE, Atlanta, GA | Directions 3030733.788049 -84.325748
M-Th 11:30-11, F-Sa 11:30-12, Su 12-11
Tasty pizza and salads a stones grow from Emory University. Previously dry, they now serve beer & wine!
Terrible food – This place is awful. The pizza tastes like cardboard and the salad couldn't be worse if they were trying. I've had to have them pack up my food several times because washing lettuce took more than an hour. I finally resolve to stop coming here. The food at the hospital cafeteria is honestly better.
Fabulous Salad Pizza - I swear! – I get the same thing every time I go - the Panzanella salad pizza (sliced chicken, sun dried tomatoes and onion on a pizza crust with pesto sauce on it and melted mozzarella) with creamy Parmesan dressing - yum!!! It feel decadent and healthy all at once (more decadent, I'm afraid).
Best pizzas – Everybody's pizza is a classic! The pizzas are amazing and the salads are big enough to share. If you're in the area, stop by to enjoy honest to goodness pizzas that are loaded with ingredients.
The definitive Atlanta pizza king pre-2009 – Had I written this review a year ago, Everybody's would be a lock for 5-stars and at the top of my best Atlanta pizza list. Since then things have changed. I've now experienced what the Atlanta pizza scene was missing in Varasano's and Antico. Both those places are just a cut above anything Atlanta had to offer before.
With that said, I still love Everybody's and always will. And it's still damn good pizza, but here it's obvious that it all starts with the toppings, which are indeed excellent. But the serious pizza man, as I've learned, knows that great pizza starts with great crust. Now I'm not saying I think Everybody's crust is bad, but it's not the highlight.
One thing I love about Everybody's (and I've only ever gone to the Decatur location) is the atmosphere. It's the quintessential laid back but not dirty hangout appropriate for college kids and/or their parents. A quick glance at the awards and plaques posted on the walls will show you how well thought of the pizza has been through the years.
I will say that it can be a bit pricey, but the weekday lunch special is among the best around. It includes an individual pizza, a salad, and a beer, wine, or soda for just $6.95. That'd be a good deal even if the pizza had never won a thing!
Still Rockin' After All These Years – I recently grabbed a pizza and salads to go and just wanted to give a big thumbs up! Although I have been a customer for over 30 (!) yrs I still love this place. The pizza crust is unlike any other in ATL . A nice balance between thick and thin . They have tons of fresh quality toppings and really pile 'em on. The mixed field green salads are wonderful (a small is more than enough for 2 people) with great homemade dressings. The creamy parmesan-peppercorn is my fave. The bartenders (Todd and Ashley) are super friendly and never act like taking care of to-go customers is an unwelcome chore.
Even tho I have moved farther OTP over the years, this place is definitely worth the drive!
I think this place rocks veggie style! – I love this place! Best Veggie Pizza in Atlanta. I usually go to the one in Highlands but the one in Midtown is great as well.
An Atlanta tradition... everybody knows about these guys... – This place has been open since the 70's and being 23... I've been coming here since I was a tiny tot. I honestly don't care for italian because alot of the time it's just bland in my opinion... BUT.. everybodys knows what they're doing, they do it well. A little bit on the pricier side for italian (I'm frugal about dining out) ... but it is worth it... they use fresh ingredients and the pizza crust has the perfect crunch.
Good food but don't expect your "average" pizza – I like Everybody's, but we only eat there once in a while since they're menu doesn't really offer very healthy food - but it's pizza, so what can you expect? I really like their pizza sandwiches, which are basically a pizza folded in half with ingredients spilling out and a sauce to dip into. The Chicken & Cheese sandwich is very good. The pizzas are pretty good, depending on what you get. These aren't your typical tomatoey tasting pizzas - more like a pub version of California Pizza kitchen, if you're looking for a point of version. The service is usually friendly, and the Decatur location is definitely faster and better than the Va Highlands location. In particular, the bartenders are quite friendly whenever I drop in for carryout. It's not a date place, but a good local neighborhood spot to meet for a casual meal and drink. It's across the street from Emory, so there are always a lot of college kids there. If I had to choose between Everybody's and Saba around the corner, it's Everybody's, hands down. If I'm in the mood for "real" pizza, I'd probably head over to Fellini's instead.
Loyal customer since 1973 – I remember when Everybody's was half the size it is today. I went there for pizza on the day that the college book store next door burned down. Everybodys was closed to assist with the emergency. Everybody's is an insititution in itself. We eat there at least 2 or 3 times each month. We bring out of town friends and family there for the special Everybody's Pizza and salad. The food is fresh and always delicious. The parmasan salad dressing is as outstanding as the pizza. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the wait staff are always pleasant and helpful. Go there and enjoy!
Awful! – This was the worst pizza I've ever had. We had it delivered - was cold when it got here. It was too spicey - the cheese tasted horrible and the crust was FAR from thin crust. All the ingredients were sitting in the middle of the pizza and to top it all off - IT WAS HORRIBLY EXPENSIVE.
I guess coming from Chicago I've been spoiled by great pizza! This place doesn't even come close. Will never eat here again.

As one of the drivers for the western route on the Calhoun County fixed-route bus system provided by the East Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission, Stinson is on a first-name basis with just about everyone she picks up in town, trading jokes and asking about the lives of her customers.
"I've learned all the names of the regular folks," Stinson said. "I've tried to get familiar with everyone."
But the familiarity on Stinson's bus route actually belies the fact that the bus system in Calhoun County is growing, if not in actual riders, certainly in the quantity of trips those familiar faces are taking.
Since 2005, ridership on county buses has gone up more than 72 percent, according to East Alabama. In the fiscal year 2011-12 which ended in September, 117,740 fares were counted, up from 105,402 in the previous year. And October's monthly numbers of 11,074 showed an increase of nearly 2,000 riders from September.
"I don't know if there's one singular reason why," said Shane Christian, administrator of public transportation at the Planning and Development Commission, on the increase of people using the bus. "I think it's just been able to meet the needs of our residents and serve them."
The current version of the bus system began in 1988 as one route that traveled the length of Noble Street, Christian said. But it has expanded greatly in recent years, now offering four hour-long routes that start and end at the Amtrak station on Fourth Street in Anniston and serve Oxford and Weaver as well.
"I think certainly the economy has something to do with it," Christian said, adding that studies on public transportation and the increase in ridership have been limited for the commission.
But according to some of the bus drivers, Christian is right about there not being a single reason people use the bus. Stinson said she's been a driver for a little more than a year but has noticed a lot of new regular passengers during the last three months. She said the destinations of her passengers vary greatly. A lot of passengers use the early-morning routes to get to the Anniston Soup Bowl, as well as to keep doctor's appointments and visit the hospitals. The Social Security Office, the library, Cheaha Career Center, and the Ayers campus of Gadsden State Community College are also popular stops, she said.
Stinson said for the most part, people use it just to get around.
"I use it every week to get the doctor's office or to get groceries," said Evelynn Crawford of Anniston, who rode Stinson's bus Monday morning to go shopping in Oxford. "It's just convenient. It gets you to where you need to go."
Christian said it's riders seeking that convenience, along with the reliability and the cost to ride — $1 for most riders with discounts for seniors, children, the disabled and members of the military — make up the bulk of residents who regularly use the bus.
But for others, bus transportation is a necessity.
Arthur Freeman, a veteran, said the bus is his main means of transportation to physical therapy appointments in town as well as to do simple chores like taking mail to the post office.
"It would be quite difficult," Freeman said, if he had to get around without the bus.
And for some, it would be impossible.
"It's my lifeline," said Lee Sharp, an Anniston man who said he's used the bus six days a week for the last five months to get to his job at O'Charley's restaurant in Oxford. "My car broke down so this is all I got. I like to call it my personal coach."
Because of its ridership expansion, Christian said there have been some talks about route extensions, or possibly more lines, but the commission is also wary of over-extending itself. Despite increasing fares from riders, most of the budget for the system — $1,170,155 in the 2011-12 fiscal year — comes through federal grants as well as money budgeted to transportation from the cities of Weaver, Oxford and Anniston.
"Most of the people I talk to say they'd like to see extended hours, and even Sunday hours," Christian said. "And that's something we'll look at it when we go over our budgets."

Yet Only 29% of New Zealanders had a positive view of the United States in 2004. That puts it on par with Pakistan at 30% and below Russia (43%) and China (42%). So much for the idea that shared cultural ties can bind people together.
In 2005, an American working as a high school teacher in rural New Zealand filed a lawsuit in the country's Human Rights Commission after being verbally abused by his students because of his nationality. Another American, Douglas Sparks, brought his family to the country to oversee the Anglican Church's Wellington Cathedral. Two years later he left vowing never to return after being the target of anti-US graffiti and his children were taunted in school by classmates telling them they hoped American soldiers would be killed in Iraq.
That same year outgoing US ambassador Charles Swindells in his final speech slammed New Zealanders for indulging in "empty, inaccurate criticism of US ideals or actions that offers no constructive alternatives and gives no credit where credit is due."
Given my mostly favorable opinion (and I assume many other Americans as well) of New Zealand and New Zealanders this, if true, comes as quite a shock.

And let the spinning begin.
Radio reports from Tennessee and Alabama claimed early this afternoon that the UT athletic director's post had been offered to Dave Hart, the Crimson Tide's executive director of athletics.
The Associated Press has since confirmed those reports through "a person familiar with the situation."
Ah, but The Knoxville News Sentinel has heard a different story. Andrew Gribble writes that UT officials have talked with Hart, "but they have yet to offer him the job of vice chancellor of athletics," according to "a source with the direct knowledge of the search."
Before offering its job to LSU's Joe Alleva — who eventually spurned the Vols for a bigger cash package in Baton Rouge — it was reported that Tennessee had offered or was prepared to offer Georgia Tech AD Dan Radakovich it's AD gig.
When Radakovich and Tech were surprisingly slapped around by the NCAA, the news leaked of UT's efforts to hire him and the Volunteer administration was left with a bit of egg on the ol' face.
However, a high-ranking UT source has told MrSEC.com that Tennessee's chancellor never spoke with or met with Radakovich. Their point: UT might have liked the Tech AD, but reports of an offer were blown far out of proportion.
With that as background, it's likely that some people at Tennessee are now trying to put the brakes on talk that the school has already offered its job to Hart… just in case Hart turns UT down.
While we still believe Hart would be an outstanding hire for Tennessee, it seems like a bit of a longshot that the Alabama grad would leave his alma mater when 71-year-old Mal Moore could step down at any time.
The fact that he's mulling over the situation seems to suggest that he's angling for a raise in Tuscaloosa or a definitive retirement date from Moore.

Warranties expired: Jail equipment uncovered
By Max Hrenda
Holiday shoppers are accustomed to being asked if they want an extended warranty for their gifts.
Some say yes, others say no.
In the case of the new jail in Carter County, county officials would just like to be asked the question.
On Dec. 1, all warranties and service contracts for the daily operations machines in the Carter County Detention Center expired.
As a result, county officials are looking for new maintenance contracts to deal with the inevitable repairs the machines will need.
"We've already looked at some bids for maintenance contracts," said County Commissioner L.C. Tester. "I'm hoping we can have something by the January [County Commission] meeting."

Vintage Cigars?
A person I know claims to have 4 pre-Revolution Cuban Davidoff Tubos and is trying to sell them to me. What are they worth, assuming they are still smokeable?
Posted: May 6, 2013
Submitted via CigarAficionado.com
Put away your wallet, because those are counterfeit Cuban cigars he's trying to sell.
While Zino Davidoff was working with the Cuban cigar industry to make exclusive cigars before the Cuban Revolution, it was not until 1967 that he got permission to create a brand of cigars carrying the Davidoff name. The first Davidoff cigars were rolled in the famed El Laguito Factory and did not hit store shelves until 1969.
For those wishing to delve into the world of vintage Cuban cigars, this question brings up a great point: Do your research before you buy.
"If you're going to buy cigars off somebody, you need to do your research," says Ajay Patel, the proprietor of the United Kingdom's only Casa del Habano, Habanos S.A.'s official franchise for Cuban cigars, and a leading expert on old cigars.
A good place to start boning up on Cuban cigars is Min Ron Nee's book An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Post-Revolution Havana Cigars, a.k.a. The White Bible (the book is entirely white, save for the title, ala the famed Beatles album.) This book is perhaps the most comprehensive guide on Cuban cigars, referencing everything from brands to packaging and tasting notes, all with stunning photography.
After doing your research, Patel says it's important that you ask the seller as many questions as possible about the cigars.
"Ask questions like 'How did they store cigars? How long have they had it? What temperature did they store the cigars?'" says Patel. He's says to ask in a way that does not give the seller the answers, but rather forces them to prove their knowledge. "Let the seller give you the answer," Patel said. "An ideal thing would be to see the picture of the cigar." Or better yet, meet with the seller in person.

Japan earthquake and tsunami appeal update
Just over three months since the earthquake and tsunami that rocked Japan, our group in the country have been reporting back on how the money you donated has been spent.
Peace Boat would like to express our appreciation for the donation of JPY 938,000 received from Friends of the Earth International for its Earthquake & Tsunami Relief Efforts in the city of Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture.
The donation has been utilized to support our purchase of mud cleaning equipment for our volunteer Tsunami Mud & Small Debris Clearance initiative. Since March 16, this project has resulted in the clearance of over 500 homes and other buildings, including schools, retirement homes and shops, and miles of streets and drains.
The activity has directly impacted over 2500 people (those whose home and businesses were cleared) and thousands more in the wider community who have benefited from the improved environment and the re-opening of local shops and public buildings.
Speaking about the work of Peace Boat, local resident Sakuma Ikuko said:
"I have nightmares about the tsunami every night. I get swallowed up by the waves and the moment that I think I'm going to die, I wake up. When I do wake up, all I see out of the window are the endless mountains of debris. A darkness was beginning to consume me and I didn't think I could make it through. But then, I saw the young Peace Boat volunteers, with their boundless energy, partaking in sludge and debris removal. They gave me courage and the drive not to give up. That is what Peace Boat gave me."

I'm having a problem with WordPress not finding all products (wp ecommerce) but just variations of products when you attempt to attach an image to a product in the media section of the backend. It's the popup 'find-posts' searchable box. This box should have pagination also but is this still lacking? Thanks
Take the 2-minute tour ×
WordPress Development Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for WordPress developers and administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
If you can't find a product (wp ecommerce) when you try to attach an image to a product in the media library, likely the variations have a later date than their corresponding product and hence the product does not show in the list. The solution is to just make the date of the product itself after the variations and it should show up, or make them as late as you can so they show up since the attach post, page, product etc list is sorted by date (latest first).

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 1 week - interviewed at Bank of America in April 2014.
Interview Details First I had a phone interview with a recruiter. This was more to ensure I was well suited for the position, etc. Then I had a second interview, in person, with the branch manager and assistant manager. I was offered the job the next day and now going through background check process.
The interview consisted of questions such as, "Tell me a little about your self?", "Why do you want to work for Bank of America?" "Why should we choose you above other candidates?" "What are your strengths/weaknesses?", "What are some of your achievements?", and "Where do you see your self in 5 yrs?"
These are basic interview questions one should always be prepared to answer. Remember: Your answers should always be work related giving examples of previous experiences. If you do not have previous experience, explain a scenario and how you would handle it. You are selling your self to the interviewer just like you would sell someone the benefits of a car you are selling. That said, always state why your previous skills and experiences will be an asset to the company you are interviewing for.
Good luck everyone!
Interview Question – What are your weaknesses? View Answer
Negotiation Details – Negotiating pay can be difficult at times. Remember the company has to stay with in a budget when hiring a new candidate, however, you can always up sell your self a little by reminding them of all the benefits you are bringing on the table. Examples: Years of experience, Speak multiple languages, Fast learner, Excellent work ethics, etc.

Interview Details I applied for the part time teller position in the beginning of March. I applied online via the Bank of America website. A few days later I received a call from a recruiter. I was scheduled for a group interview the next day. They sent me an email with the information regarding what to wear and some forms to read and fill out. In my interview there was 18 people including myself. Multiple locations were hiring so they had each branch manager there (about 5 of them). They than allowed each of us to introduce our selves. They went around the group asking questions such as "What did you dislike most about your previous job" and "what is the most important thing when working with guests?" At the end of the interview each person individually met with one of the branch managers. The interview lasted about 3 Hours. They said we would receive either an email or phone call saying if we got the job or not. I received an email saying I didn't get the job.... But in the beginning of the month of April I recieved another stating they would like to continue with me and start the background check and to fill out the paper work. I started the paperwork and am currently waiting to hear back from the recruiter.

Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Bank of America.
Interview Details For the role play, you get a partner and take turns being a teller and a customer. So the plot of this scene that the HR told us we had to do was a customer coming in to cash a $100 check. It play out like this:
Teller: "Welcome back Chelsea, how can I help you today?" (Smile! sound enthusiastic)
Customer: "I want to Cash this $100 check into my checking account."
Teller: "My pleasure Chelsea! Can you please (Use their name always)
swipe your Bank of America Card and enter you pin"
*While the customer (the other interviewee) is supposedly entering their pin ask another
the following question*
Teller: "So how is your day going Chelsea? Any plans for later today"
(Our HR told us to ask about 3-4 Questions in our conversation to better understand their needs so we can offer services (cards with cash rewards, points, etc.) to better their life.)
Customer: "Its great John. I've been shopping all day today. Now I'm ready to pick up my kids
later today from school"
Teller: "That sounds like fun Chelsea! How many kids do you have?
Customer: " I have 2 little ones"
Teller: "Really? How old are they?
Customer: " 5 and 6"
Teller: That's great Chelsea. So how will you like you $100 back?"
Customer: "Two 20 bills, One 50 bill, and the rest in 1 dollar bills"
Teller: "Okay is 50, 70, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100"
(For the part above you are supposed to count up to 100 with each bill)
Teller: "Chelsea, have you heard about our cash reward cards? They are great for any
purchase, Shopping too!, they can get you 5% back on gas, 3% on groceries, and
2% back on Shopping"
(I am not sure if those numbers are correct, be sure to research the service you want to sell the your customer during the role play before you interview)
Customer: "No"
Teller: "Do you have a little bit of time right now Chelsea to meet with our personal banker so he can better explain all the benefits?"
Customer: "No, not right now. I have to go pick up my kids right now"
Teller: " How about if I have our personal banker call you to schedule a meeting whenever
you are available?"
Customer: "Okay I can do that"
Teller: "Chelsea, How does tomorrow at 12:00 pm (or noon) when your kids are in school sound?"
Customer: "Yeah that sounds great
Teller: "Great! Have a I completed all of your banking needs?"
(You are supposed to ask this question this way so it ends the conversation in a positive note because the customer will say "yes." Unlike, "Can I help you will something else?" The customer will say "no" for this one and end the conversation in a negative note. That is what the HR wanted us to say anyways)
Customer: "yes"
Teller: " Bye bye, take care Chelsea"
So that is what role play is about. I'm sure it won't be the exact same for everyone else but It will be 70% the same I am sure.
Summary of interviewing at BA:
- Dress appropriately for interview and bring needed materials (on the email they send)
- Take part in every discussion the group has during the interview.
- The HR wants to see that your easy to talk to
- Smile and be in your best most awesome behavior (Be likable)
- Look at the videos they ask you to see. You need to know this to be able
to participate in a group discussion (There's link to these videos in a email they send)
- Be prepared to say a little bit about yourself
- Previous work experience
- what you did (in detail) in your previous jobs
- where you see yourself within 1-2 years within the company
- say how your previous work experience has prepared you for this position
- During role play you can be feeling closed up and shy (you get 5 min. to practice)
- Always be in control of the conversation during role play
- Ask the "customer" about 3-4 question to better know them or what they been up to.
To better be able to match BA services to their needs
- Research a product or service you want to sell to them during role play
- Always say their name when talking to them during role play (HR will tell you this)
And that't everything I remember from my interview. I probably forgot little to nothing since its very long and detailed. Thanks for reading and hope this helps you a lot, which it will if you read through the entire thing. :D
One more thing, If you get through the group interview, the HR will set an interview with the manager of the bank you will get employed at.

Evaluating an Unpaid Internship Offer
Internships, especially unpaid internships, work on the barter system. You are bartering your time, energy, and skills for training, hands-on experience, contacts, and increased marketability.
Think carefully about the internship offers that you receive. Make sure that you are getting what you need from this exchange.
Here are some key components that lead to a successful internship:
- Work that feels meaningful, useful, and which exposes you to different aspects of the agency's operations
- Work that requires a variety of skills and challenges you to grow
- Supervisor and staff who are on-site or easily available for consultation, and who are willing to guide you and answer your questions
- Opportunities to learn about the career field—this might be done through your day-to-day activities, through informal conversations with staff, or it might include participating in staff meetings, observing site visits, or staff trainings.
- You won't know for sure the benefits or disadvantages of any internship until you are actually on the job.By asking some of the following questions beforehand, however, you may learn a lot about the position for which you are applying.
- Could you describe some of the projects or assignments I would be involved in, which areas or departments I would rotate through, and what my role would be?
- What type of supervision do interns receive? Do interns meet with supervisors routinely? How do interns get feedback on their work?
- Could you describe the work culture at this organization?
- What are the most important qualities you are looking for in an intern?
- Could you give me an example of an intern whom you thought of as outstanding? What did he/she do that made him/her outstanding?
- Are interns included in staff programs such as staff meetings, seminars, or training sessions? Do interns observe site visits, or meetings with clients?
- How do you see the breakdown between time spent on clerical or repetitive work and time spent on career-related projects?
This last question is a tricky one to ask. You don't want to give the impression that you would be unhappy doing clerical work! It's important, however, for you to find out how much of your time will be given to projects or assignments that will help you meet your learning goals.
Try prefacing the question with a positive statement. You might say,
"I'm fully aware that every job involves some clerical work, and I am more than happy to photocopy, answer phones, take messages, enter data, and other clerical tasks. However, I would like to know how you see the breakdown between time spent on this type of work and time spent on career-related projects?"
15- 25 percent of hours worked is a reasonable amount of time for an intern to spend in repetitive or clerical tasks.
Reflect on the responses that are given to you. Do these responses make you enthusiastic about the internship or doubtful? If you are offered an internship and are not sure whether you want to accept it, make an appointment to meet with the supervisor or speak over the phone in order to clarify the points about which you are uncertain.
Develop three or four learning objectives that will give the supervisor a clear idea of what you would like to gain from this experience.
Whether you make a decision to accept an unpaid or a paid internship, your next step is to complete the AST Project Outline. (forms.html) Contact us (contact us) to talk with you about your proposed experience or help you explore other opportunities.

Zesty Grilled Chops Recipe
4.86 11
These pork chops make a quick company dish. Our family enjoys them on the grill, as the summer weather in our part of the country is hot and muggy. In the wintertime, they're wonderful prepared in the broiler. —Blanche Babinski, Minto, North Dakota

- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 6 bone-in pork loin or rib chops (about 1-1/2 inches thick)
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first five ingredients; set aside 1/3 cup for basting. Add pork chops. Seal bag and refrigerate overnight.
- Drain and discard marinade. Grill chops, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 12-16 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°, turning once. Brush occasionally with reserved marinade. Yield: 6 servings.

Too sweet; I should have cut back on the brown sugar. I didn't have chili sauce so I substituted ketchup and sprinkled it with cayenne. Pork chop was tender.

Try substituting Low Sodium Soy Sauce. The taste is just a great and you save tons of sodium... These chops are really the best ever.
