Abstract: We have previously described the application of novel porous organosilicate materials to the preconcentration of nitroenergetic targets from aqueous solution prior to HPLC analysis. The performance of the sorbents and the advantages of these types of materials over commercially available solid phase extraction sorbents have been demonstrated. Here, the development of systems for application of those sorbents to in situ monitoring is described. Considerations such as column pressure, particulate filtration, and component durability are discussed. The diameter of selected column housings, the sorbent bed depth, and the frits utilized significantly impact the utility of the sorbent columns in the prototype system. The impact of and necessity for improvements in the morphological characteristics of the sorbents as they relate to reduction in column pressure are detailed. The results of experiments utilizing a prototype system are presented. Data demonstrating feasibility for use of the sorbents in preconcentration prior to ion mobility spectrometry is also presented.

Chocolatier Blue opens
Chocolatier Blue debuts in Village Pointe this weekend with a splash.
The store will give away samples of its hand-crafted, artsy chocolates, and entertainment will include a street artist on-site creating caricatures and French-inspired music.
This is the first location in Omaha for Chocolatier Chris Blue. He is the only chocolatier in the country who works with Domori dark chocolate, an Italian import, and one of only a few using Five Star brand organic butter, which has the highest fat content of any butter in the world.
The opening event runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the store, 168th Street and West Dodge Road.
Zin Room adds tapas to menu
The Zin Room, in downtown Omaha, has added tapas to its already diverse menu.
The restaurant will serve clams rockefeller, smoked wood-fried grilled wings, chicken croquettes and stuffed tomatoes in its bar and lounge area only. The small plates are priced between $3 and $6.
The restaurant also has a new happy hour schedule: Monday-Saturday, 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m, and 10 p.m. until close, and all day Sunday.
Lighthouse Pizza opens
Lighthouse Pizza now is open at 1004 S. 74th Plaza. Matt Egermayer and his brother Scott are running the new fast-casual spot, which offers large, New York-style pizza slices in a drive-through.
"We are trying to be for pizza by the slice what Chipotle and Qdoba have become for fast-casual Mexican," Matt Egermayer said.
Rob Mattoch, former executive chef at Taste and Brix, created the recipes. The menu features salads, buffalo wings and garlic parmesan fries available in an indoor dining room and at a drive-through that stays open until 3 a.m. on weekends. The restaurant's phone number is 402-932-6660.
Bobs get free burritos
If your name is Bob, listen up.
Pancheros Mexican Grill is giving a free burrito to anyone named Bob — or any variation of the name — on May 1.
It's part of the company's "Save Bobs" campaign, named after "Bob the Tool," the mixing mechanism the restaurant uses to blend ingredients before wrapping them in a tortilla.
A Facebook contest gives people the chance to win $5,000 by choosing one of their friends named Bob to "save."
In Omaha, Pancheros is at 17305 Davenport St. and its phone number is 402-934-5677.
Dante Ristorante to host wine dinner
Dante Ristorante Pizzeria is having its first outdoor wine dinner on April 30.
The restaurant plans a series of outdoor wine dinners that they describe as a "more intimate and in-depth approach" to Italian wine and food.
The first dinner focuses on the Fruili region, in Northeastern Italy, best known for its crisp, refreshing white wine Friulano.
The dinner will include five small-plate courses paired with wines. The dinner is $65 per person and includes tax and tip.
Seating is limited to 16, and reservations are required. For more information or a reservation, call 402-932-3078.
Special offer at Quaker Steak and Lube
The Council Bluffs location of Quaker Steak and Lube is treating moms, dads and graduates to a special offer this spring.
From April 17 through June 17, diners who purchase a $25 gift card will get a free $5 bonus gift card. People who take advantage of this offer will also get a second special offer, a coupon for $5 off a $25 bill good on Mother's Day, May 13, or Father's Day, June 17.
Quaker Steak and Lube is in Council Bluffs at 3220 Mid America Drive. For more information, call 712-322-0101.
Nothing Bundt Cakes has new hours.
The bakery is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The business is at 10347 Pacific St. in One Pacific Place and its phone number is 402-933-9305.

Neighborhoods: Coulwood West
Great people! – If you have not tried Sports Page in Coulwood you must! The food is awesome and the service first rate. There is not a bad seat anywhere at the bar go by see for yourself.
Don't waste your time or money – Food here is not that great. My flounder tasted awful. Perhaps, previously frozen. Overpriced like most restaurants. Staff not very friendly. I felt bad leaving a tip because the waitress just took my order, delivered the bill (some other person brought out the food), and gave me change. I love eating out, but has the economy gotten so bad that service has to be bad also. I complained about the food to the manager, wanted to complain about the waitress also, but he wasn't that great either. I guess they were following the leader.
I only rated this restaurant because I had to and to be fare the coleslaw, homemade chips, and potato salad was decent.
Where Good Friends Meet – I have been going to Sports Page since it opened before it moved to its current location. They have great food and there is always friendly surroundings.

Griffin success stories and testimonials
Read what students and alumni have to say about Career Development
- I credit much of my career success to the Career Development Center. The Career Development staff helped me find internships that I was interested in, and they gave me the skills and confidence to ace each interview. One of my internships became my full time position. Even if you do not know how they can help you it is worth a moment of your time to get to know them. They are experts at what they do and more importantly they are an excellent support system. It is never too early or too late to go visit Career Development.
- Staff really took the time to help me out. I have since then recommended others to Career Development and they have had the same type of help. Keep up the great work!
- Career Development has helped me develop a sense of professionalism which will help me beyond my years at Gwynedd Mercy University. In helping me prepare and update my resume, the Career Development Center has enabled me to create a resume which showcases all of my accomplishments over the course of my time in college. In helping me develop this document, Career Development has set me up for success and ensured that I will be a marketable college graduate. Freshman, sophomores and juniors should also use the services of Career Development. In fact they should do so regularly.
- I would highly recommend going to the Career Development Center if you are unsure about what to do after graduation. They helped me tremendously and provided me with career ideas that I was unfamiliar with. This helped me keep an open mind to new ideas and find specific information about my possible career choices.
- The Career Development staff is friendly and helpful. They have provided effective and timely communication consistently. I had a resume reviewed by a staff member, and got great feedback. Staff also followed up with me after the review to see how I was doing and if I needed any further assistance. I would highly recommend Career Development to anyone!
- Being a non-traditional nursing student my schedule is beyond hectic. I truly appreciate your ability to assist students via e-mail, it made the process much less stressful and allowed me the benefits of your services
- Staff has been such a huge help to me the past three years. Every time, I felt at ease and confident that I was getting the help I needed to create an outstanding résumé. I am so grateful for this service and the people who are always so eager to help.
- Going to Career Development helped me decide on a major for college. I highly appreciate the help I received. People were able to work with me and were very kind.
- Career Development helped me prepare a resume and understand how to conduct myself in an interview. It is a great idea to visit the staff in Career Development because they will help guide you in the right direction. They will help you every step of the way so you can get an internship/job.
- Very friendly and professional! Glad that the services were available to alumni! Keep up the good work

Summary of Mr. Monk Gets Even Summary of Mr. Monk Gets Even Reviews for Mr. Monk Gets Even An Excerpt from Mr. Monk Gets Even
Welcome to the series of original mysteries starring Adrian Monk, the brilliant investigator who always knows when something's out of place....
The future is looking bright for Adrian Monk. Natalie is working as a cop in Summit, his brother is a week away from getting married, and Monk has a new assistant—and even a girlfriend.
All this change doesn't keep him from work, though. He's investigating a string of accidental deaths and suicides that he believes are actually murders. But when Monk's suspect is killed, he must face the fact that he might be wrong. Have stability and happiness robbed Monk of his mojo?
Meanwhile, Monk's imprisoned arch nemesis, the morbidly obese criminal mastermind Dale the Whale, is being transferred from prison to San Francisco General Hospital for an operation. When Dale escapes and all signs point to Captain Stottlemeyer as his accomplice, Monk will have to reboot his detective skills to clear the captain's name—and prove that he's still the one and only Monk.

text: I like this bag so far. I don't like it as much as my Phantom 32, but that should be a little obvious. I would've gotten the Phantom 0 but I wanted something with synthetic insulation just in case it were to get wet since my purpose has been winter alpine climbing. It's close to being too small for me. I'm about 5'9" and have size US 11 feet. My feet seem to touch the end of the sleeping bag. So far, whenever I've slept in this bag, I've gotten pretty cold. One night my feet even felt like they got close to numb or something. The night my feet got so cold I didn't have any insulation between me and the ground (I happened to grab the wrong ground pad and didn't have enough extra clothing to put under my feet). So far, the outings I've taken it on have gotten close to zero degrees but more like 10 degrees. A couple nights I even got it a little wet all around and it still kept me reasonably warm (meaning I was cold be was able to at least get some sleep). I like the short zippers. My bivy sac is the Bibler Big Wall bivy, so its zippered entry is even smaller. So I don't notice the small entry that much. It closes quite well over my face except for all the cords that slide against my face all night. I've modified my sleeping arrangement with this a bit. For temperatures around 10 degrees or so within a bivy sac within a snow trench, I definitely wear additional clothes within this sleeping bag. I wear lightweight down booties on my feet. I make sure I have a full length closed-cell foam pad. I definitely wear long Johns (top and bottom). I'm considering some puffy pants. I wear either a lightweight down jacket or fleece top. I also wear a sock hat and face guard thing that goes around your neck. I have also worn mittens...hahaha. Well I guess that's what all it takes for me. But that's all stuff I bring anyway for day and night operations.

The question for the S&P 500 is will it simply now go sideways once again as it had two weeks ago when it needed a rest, before a new leg up? Or will there be any actual downside action coming?
A lot of "junky" type low quality stocks ran up today as traders were looking for ideas that had not already been exhausted the past month - hence you saw moves in names such as Zynga (ZNGA) (who created Farmville for Facebook) and Sears Holding (SHLD). Notice these stocks had NOT participated MUCH in the jolly times of January so hence were not extended like almost everything else out there.
Facebook (FB) jumped on an upgrade from Raymond Jaymes ahead of its earning report Wednesday:
Raymond James analyst Aaron Kessler raised his rating on the stock to outperform from market perform and set a target price of $38 a share. In a research note, Kessler said he expects Facebook to see more revenue over the next year from its mobile business and other ad formats.
Meanwhile the 3D printing stocks, which have been the market darling the past few quarters, saw serious reversals today. Note the huge volume in both.
After the bell, tech companies Yahoo (YHOO) and VMWare (VMW) reported - the market is initially treating both with very different reactions; YHOO is up 2% while cloud company VMWare is down some 15%. Other cloud based companies should get him tomorrow along with the VMW.

Funktional Spring 2010
14 October 2009, 23.09 | Posted in Fashion | No comments »
Okay readers, finally found a spare minute to post up the rest of the Deitch p.r.'s lines. The one featured here, Funktional, was probably my fave. There was very little in the line I wasn't tempted to photograph, plus the prices given the look of the line were fantastic (ranging from just $100 for dresses up to $300 for leather jackets). In the image above, Deitch rep, Samanth (who did a fantastic job of guiding me through all the collections) models a Funktional leather jacket, which was so soft and cuddly, you'd almost wanna sleep in it!
Lots more Funktional images after the flip….

AV-Test this week published certification results for 19 software security products running on Windows 7.
The test and consulting firm ranked the 19 antimalware products based on three categories: protection, repair and usability. Three products failed to get certified, including BullGuard Internet Security 9.0, McAfee Internet Security 2010 and Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010.
The top performers (top scores in two of the three categories) were Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, Panda Internet Security 2010 and Symantec Norton Internet Security 2010. All passed with AV-Test certification, along with 10 other security products. The complete AV-Test list can be found here.
Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0, the free consumer antimalware solution, passed certification. According to AV-Test's MSE stat sheet, MSE had a top-ranking score on its usability tests. It also performed well in detecting widespread malware, but scored lower when protecting against zero-day malware attacks. It had respectable results cleaning malware off an infected computer. MSE also "achieved VB100 certification last week," according to a Microsoft spokesperson via e-mail. A Microsoft blog points to both achievements.
A Microsoft spokesperson attributed the positive usability results to MSE's lightweight design for consumers. It's designed to run on older PCs and only alerts users if an action needs to be performed. MSE is based on the Microsoft Forefront Client Security "engine technology, signatures and research teams," according to the spokesperson.
AV-Test conducted its tests during the second quarter of this year. For its protection tests, the firm examined the product's ability to deliver "static and dynamic malware protection" as well as protection against zero-day attacks, which leverage undisclosed vulnerabilities in software. Testing the repair capabilities involved checking product's "system disinfection and rootkit removal." In testing usability, AV-Test measured any system slow-down caused by the product, as well as any false-positive results.
Of six points total, products scoring lowest on the protection side included Norman Security Suite 8.0 (score 2) and Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010 (score 2.5). The sole low performer on the repair side was McAfee Internet Security 2010 (score 2). Results were a little more level on the usability side, with BullGuard Internet Security (score 3) achieving the lowest score.
Usability might seem to be the death knell for all antimalware products. According to a video by Kaspersky Lab, the amount of files requiring blacklisting by software security products has grown from 3 million files in 2007, to 17 million in 2008 and 34 million in 2009. The amount of malicious files has roughly tripled each year.
Kaspersky's software performed well on the usability side because of technology that handles old virus signatures, according to Roel Schouwenberg, senior anti-virus researcher at Kaspersky Lab Americas.
"If we were to uniquely identify each specific malware sample in our product, then, in a number of years, the size of the malware detection database would outgrow the average amount of RAM on the system," Schouwenberg said via e-mail. "However, new technologies allow us to create different kinds of signatures which can replace up to 100,000 old signatures."
Microsoft also uses technology to keep down the bloat of loading antivirus signatures.
"We're cognizant of file size and we try to streamline downloads and use generic signatures to target entire families of malware rather than release a signature for each variant," a Microsoft spokesperson said via e-mail. "We also revisit older signatures and tune them to catch current variants rather than create brand new signatures reducing the amount of accumulation of virus definitions and impact on system performance."
The option to use whitelisting isn't a solution to the potential bloat of antimalware solutions. A pure whitelist approach (using a slate of "good" executable files) would amount to more than 100 million files, according to the Kaspersky Lab video. Moreover, whitelists can get fooled. Schouwenberg pointed to cases where legitimate software gets loaded with malicious code, such as via the Induc virus.
"There are tons and tons of (digitally signed) files out there which have this [Induc] virus," he said. "Whitelisting can't be applied in a generic way and there are too many ways to basically fool whitelisting. For those reasons I'm convinced that we need to look at whitelisting mostly so that we can treat the non-whitelisted files with more suspicion."
The Kaspersky Lab video also suggested that cloud computing could be enlisted to better enable such a whitelist strategy.

It's interesting that, in describing why whitelisting is not a viable solution to blacklisting, this article notes problems as if they are unique to whitelisting, and attributes solutions to those problems to only blacklisting.First, take the argument that the volume of "good" software is too large to track: The same techniques that blacklisting must employ to reduce malware signatures have already been successfully applied to advanced whitelisting. Whitelisting is not just a "list of signatures". It is a set of policies that can be used to encompass thousands or millions of pieces of software. It is also misleading because the fact is that no one wants "100 million files" on their computer. With blacklisting, you need to continually monitor for and protect against hundreds of millions of possible malicious attacks. With whitelisting you need only to approve the hundreds (or just dozens) of applications you actually want on your computer. Even in the largest and most diverse of organizations, I have seen effective whitelisting work with a few dozen policies. The set of programs you want on your computer is a significantly smaller set than what you don't want.As far as managing the catalog of good software, Bit9 Parity for example provides a cloud service to our Global Software Registry which is one of the largest databases of known software in the world. Cataloging good software is a difficult task, but the coverage is far more effective than trying to catalog all bad software. By design, it is in the malicious programmers' interest to keep their code hidden and their signatures constantly changing.Second, the argument that "whitelists can get fooled" is a red herring. Does that imply that blacklists cannot get fooled? No technology is a silver bullet to all security threats. As the article already notes, there are many flaws to blacklisting only techniques. Effective security comes from a combination of technologies. Consider also the consequences of a "miss" under the different approaches. An unknown malicious program will be allowed to run in a purely blacklisting environment. An unknown good program will be blocked from running in a whitelisting environment. In both cases, the security software allows for exceptions, but with blacklisting, you're likely already infected at that point and now remediation becomes the biggest problem. The point is that both techniques have merit. People have been using antimalware as a primary security defense for so long that sometimes they have a difficult time changing their perspective, even as articles like this one point out the inherent flaws of blacklisting technology.Harry Sverdlove, CTO, Bit9 Inc.
This article reinforces our companies policy of recommending Kaspersky products, both Home User & Corporate products. We have been flooded with new customers that have been infected with an "A-V Look Alike" Security product that is really a Trojan. It is "Antvir Pro". It downloads itself on the customers computer and starts an A-V scan. What it is really doing is infecting as it scans. The only product that traps this is Kaspersky. Norton 360 & Mc Afee, and the free stuff, miss it completely. That's the bad news, the good news is that our sales of Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 have skyrocketed!

I found a thread from last month that answered all but the question of whether the remaining element will work on its own without the bad element also working. Is there a way to have the remaining good element continue to heat all by itself? If so, I might be able to get enough hot water for the wife's shower in the morning.
I'll replace both elements and the anode tomorrow.

Abstract: The antidiabetic activities of bitter melon powders produced with lyophilization/superfine grinding and hot air drying/normal grinding were investigated in vivo for selecting a suitable bitter melon processing procedure. After a five-week treatment, bitter melon lyophilized superfine grinding powder (BLSP) had a higher antidiabetic activity with reducing fasting blood glucose levels from 21.40 to 12.54 mmol/L, the serum insulin levels from 40.93 to 30.74 mIU/L, and restoring activities of SOD compared with those in the bitter melon hot air drying powder (BAP) treated group. Furthermore, BLSP protected pancreatic tissues including islet beta cells and reduced the loss of islet cells. Combined with the difference of compositions in BLSP and BAP, it could be concluded that superfine grinding and lyophilization processes were beneficial for presenting the antidiabetic activity, which will provide a reference for direct utilization of bitter melon as a suitable functional food to relieve symptoms of diabetes.

I'm another Michigan 7/7/07 bride! Sooo excited... July is my favorite month!! (Also my bday month). We're having an indoor wedding (chuch) and indoor reception (my country club). We're going to have an outdoor terrace though so people can go outside and enjoy the weather (hopefully...).
for colors we are doing pink, white, and light blue (think muted red white and blue �-goes with the fireworks!) and then an accent of yellow because my favorite cut flowers are yellow roses (reg. I LOVE orchids- can't grow them but do love them. Of course I love my English tea roses also- I am fifth generation with them and up until moving them to future IL's they were thriving ... don't ask! I am trying to find them a safe location to move them to until we get a house!)
MI07Bride, that sounds like a great idea for the flowers!
�������� �Your FMIL sounds just like my mother! My mom told me over one of our many conversations about the wedding a few months ago (she has back off a bit, but then thats because my fathers mother has been in and out of the hospital a lot lately to get blood transfusions) So what my mom told me was that "ever thing that i dream for your wedding is not happening the way I planned it." And what i told my mom was, "of course not" because as i told her, her dreams are not my dreams, and my mom seemed a little sad to hear it, but it is the truth.
����� �� �=) Is your BM boyfriend going to pop the question soon? So exciting seeing other people getting asked, or knowing their partner is going to ask soon and the other is all in the clouds about it.
July07Bride, Welcome to this thread! It is nice planning early to spread the money out, other wise we would feel VERY poor at the end of it all. =D And getting the dress this late in the game (for that bride that you ran into that is getting married this summer) that would be to stressfull for me to leave the dress for almost last thing to buy.
�������� �� We are going with a Deep red wine kinda color with a nice cream color (don't have the color pinpointed yet), and i thought maybe a splash of sliver would look nice. (have the silver in the flowers of something like that)
Our Goal: $5,000 at most...under if we can help it...oh man girls pray for me, thats not much money. We are not poor, but we will feel like it soon, we are going to be buying a house together this summer, and want to put as much down on the home. Plus why feel like you need�to go�into dedt (we have not yet talked to either parents about if they want to pay anything yet, cause we don't want them to say that in order for them to give them a cent we have to do things their way for the wedding.) So we are going to wait till we know what we want and�say to the parents, "this is happening here, and we are going this there, would you like to help out?"�
�������� � We had a friend that just got married about a�month ago and they only spent about $2,000 on their wedding, she is my role modle!
MI07Bride, i like your idea of the single stem roses being the momorials, i was thinking of candles. My FH has no grandparents left, so i thought one candle for each set, and one of my grandfathers�who has passed on, so i though�after the wedding i�would�then give the candles of my FH grandparents to my F-in-laws, and then the candle of my grandpa to my grandma, but if she passes before we get married, i'll give it to my parents (hope she will be able to see me married, i'm her first grandchild to get married.)
RenaissanceBride, yes BM's BF is popping the question this summer. I am super-excited for her - though she doesn't know! I have seen the ring he has bought and everything!
As our windows we are actually doing a combo of memorial things- I bought battery operated silver plate candles and they will go at the back of the windowsill in the center, in front of that or off to one side is going to be a small 3x5 or 5x7 picture of the person(s) being memorialized, and then have the rose in front of that. --- there are 3 windows so I think one is going to be FH's maternal grandparents, one my paternal grandfather, one my maternal grandfather.
the vase of flowers on the piano is a memorial to my dad (he is in a irriversable vegatative state at this point) and I want to a small photo of him on the piano in front of the vase with his guitar next to the piano.
All of them will be listed in the program too.
I have thought about ordering the roses with names written on them or verse written on them to put in the window, but at this point I don't know that I want to do that.
Hey ladies we are doing outdoors for both. We are going to pay the deposit on our site in two weeks when they start taking dates for next July. We are having it in a local park, site is gorgous has a huge meadow full of wild flowers so I don't have to decorate the ceremony site at all.Food: is going to a good ole BBQ. Complete with hotdogs,metts,bratts,hamburgers.ribs.chicken, greens, mac&cheese, corn on the cob, baked beans, cole slaw, pasta salad, chips, and corn bread. Oh yeah and no alcohol just tea, lemonade, soda, and water. ( sparkling cider for the toasts)Cake: We are doing cupcakes ( lots of little ones at our wedding) plus a small cake for us to cutWe are doing a lot of poem readings and a twist on the sand art thing ( will be done by FH and my oldest son).We have budeted about 6000 for eveything cause most of the stuff we are doing DIY. ( we are making the food, cakes, little bro is helping with the music, aunt is making my dress, mom is doing flowers {if she stops acting like a brat}, and FH's father is officating for us.We have about 200 guests so far but have to fine tune the guest list some more so it wont even be that many.Colors: We have picked a periwinkle blue with lavender and peach accents ( in the flowers and decorations).
it appears that i too am a 7-7-07 bride lol.� i didnt know that so many of us existed!� i'm from SE Iowa and will be married in my Burlington church.
hello community brides to be! i will be a 7/8/08 bride. i have chosen fan programs to keep the guest cool and it looks better than someone using their hands to keep cool. Therefore you have your printed programs and a fan at hand

My fiance and I have picked the year and the month but are still not locked into a which Saturday. I got excited when I saw 07/07/07...I mean, what could be luckier? But as we started thinking about it, we were a little nervous having the wedding so close to the Fourth of July. We were worried the wedding would conflict with guests' holiday plans. The Fourth of July is on a Wednesday...but we figured most celebrations would be taking place that Saturday. We are very close to reserving the reception hall and the pastor...and will probably have both booked within the next week. Do you think having it so close to the Fourth of July will be a conflict with guests? And does having the wedding so close to the holiday lock you into a red, white and blue, starred and striped theme? I like the idea of fireworks or sparklers at the reception...but I'm not ready to dedicate the whole wedding to the holiday! :P Advice needed. Thanks!
My FH and myself were origanly going to get married in september....but when we found out that i would be in school we changed it to 07/07/07...we had an idea of our colors already, so the red/white/blue coors never came to play in the color theme.�Do you guys have any fav colors that�are not r/w/b?�
There is always going to be a conflict with some people, but i think the 7th is a good date because the people have all of wed-thur-and fri to have fun with the holiday! And a thought to remember, if people really want to go to your wedding, they have over a year to make things work for that�one day. Good luck planning!
I am getting married on 07/07/07 in San Antonio!� We have been engaged for 2 years already, and I noticed that date was on a SAt. last year.� We just recently were able to make a trip down to TX (we are moving there soon) and look at weding stuff.� We went to an expo, and some of the vendors were asking me what my date was....when I told them I wanted 7/7/7, they were like, "Oh yeah, I had some other brides asking about that date earlier" AHH!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The quality is very good. everyone commented on them. They were the perfect size for a reminder of a party. They also have a professional staff ready to help with any questions. I will use them again in the future. The price was reasonable."
"I had no problem personalizing this invite. The directions made It very easy to do. I chose 5 invites that I liked then asked my mother which one she liked best and it was the tasty blooms. The quality of the paper for the invites as well as the envelopes were great! Text was a little trying only because the options given were not all condusive to the size of the invite. Great product!"
"I used these invitations for my husband's 40th birthday party. He's a Maryland guy, so the crab and the nautical feel were perfect for a summery, outdoor party and raw bar. They weren't too feminine, but just exactly right for the event. They'd be adorable for an engagement party or summer couples' shower, or a BBQ/Crab feast or birthday party like ours. I absolutely LOVED these invitations and I have had literally dozens of compliments on these - everyone thinks they are adorable. Wedding Paper Divas - my only critisicm would be that these don't have any writing on the back to say where they are from! Normally, you see "Tiny Prints" or whatever printed on the back, but these are completely blank on the back. You should fix that because you'd sell oodles of these cute invitations here in Maryland! The paper is nice and thick, and the colors are crisp and beautiful. You will be SO happy with these invitations!"
"This card was exactly what I was looking for! The design is both elegant and whimsical, and the print colors are sharp and clear. This company is wonderful to work with - they answer all your questions right away and I received the finished product in record time. You will love this card!"
"I picked the Italian Theme, red invite for a 40th anniversary of my parents. It turned out beautiful. 4oth anniversary is red (ruby) and my parents are both Italian. I sent the invite to friends and everyone complimented how nice the invitations were! I loved the detail, design and size. Just perfect!! I especially loved the fast and prompt delivery!Thanks Wedding Planners! I will recommend you to friends and family!"

Spring is a lightweight Java/J2EE application framework based on code published in "Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development" by Rod Johnson. It includes powerful JavaBeans-based configuration management applying Inversion-of-Control principles, a generic abstraction layer for transaction management allowing for pluggable transaction managers, a JDBC abstraction layer, integration with Hibernate, JDO, Apache OJB, and iBATIS SQL Maps, AOP functionality, and a flexible MVC Web application framework with multiple view technologies. There is also a .NET port available.
NetBpm is a platform for building, executing, and managing workflows. It is very simple to use and integrate in other .NET applications. It supports building applications which are able to turn business models into executable software models. Business analysts are able to use a model driven approach to design, implement, execute, and track business processes. So business people can easily react with business and strategy changes.
Apache .NET Ant Library is a library of Apache Ant tasks that support development for the .NET platform. It supports Microsoft's frameworks as well as Mono. The library contains tasks to run common .NET development tools like NUnit, NAnt, or MSBuild. In addition, it contains a task to create Windows MSI installer packages using the WiX toolkit. The "old" .NET development tasks of Ant's core have found a new home here as well, and further development of those tasks will happen inside of this Ant Library.
AsDoclet can be used to generate Actionscript and C# files out of Java sources. Such a tool is useful for RIA and client/server applications where value objects are transmitted between server and client as serialized data that should be deserializable on both ends again. That includes remoting technologies like Flash Remoting, RTMP, Blaze DS, Red5, and Hessian.
When writing anything that needs to communicate with a terminal in some way, it is almost always speaking some dialect of VT100 or ANSI. The libvt 100 library aims solely at parsing a stream of VT100/ANSI data and then letting the host application do the rendering. Many other projects also parse VT100/ANSI data, but their parser is always tangled up with the actual rendering of the data, making reuse in other projects problematic. The hope is that other projects will start using libvt100 and everyone can stop reinventing the wheel with each project.

Great bra for low cost
Pros: Light-weight, feminine feel, doesn't get in the way of nursing
Cons: snaps can be hard to open and close one-handed
I've had this nursing bra for over a year now and it has definitely lasted. I like the lace on it as well as the light-weight fabric. The price is a bargain for what you get in quality. The only thing that I don't like is that the snaps are close to the straps, which makes it challenging to get them open and closed with one hand easily.

Caramelized Parsnip and Apple Crumble
– 12 servings (feel free to reduce or multiply recipe)
½ cup butter
1½ cups brown sugar
pinch salt
¼ cup water
8 medium parsnips
8 large apples – a mixture of firm
apples (Not McIntosh or the Delicious
apples – they go mushy.)
6 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch salt
1 tsp good vanilla
Crumble topping:
2 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar
1½ cups, cut into one-inch cubes
pinch cinnamon and salt
2 cups rolled oats
Preheat oven to 350F. Peel parsnips and chop into ½-inch chunks. In a large pot, over medium-high heat, melt butter, add brown sugar and stir together. Let cook 4-5 minutes until bubbling. Add water, stir. Stir in parsnips to coat. Cook, over medium
heat, stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes until parsnips begin to soften and turn a caramel colour.
Meanwhile, make crumble topping:
In food processor bowl, pulse together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. (By hand just stir together in a mixing bowl.) Add butter and pulse until the size of large peas. Remove from processor and stir in rolled oats. (By hand, cut the butter into the mixture with a pastry blender or 2 forks, then add oats.) Place in freezer until ready to use.
Meanwhile, prepare the apples:
Do not peel, but core and chop into ½-inch chunks. Place in a large bowl. Toss with cornstarch, spices, salt and vanilla. Add caramelized parsnips and toss. Place parsnip-apple mixture in a large greased casserole (9x14). Generously spoon on crumble topping. You will have more than enough (freeze the remainder for another time). Bake for about 35 minutes until brown and bubbly. Spoon out portions and serve with ice cream, whipped cream or even yogurt for breakfast!

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Northern Illinois' defense has been paying close attention to the Bears this season, doing everything in their power to create turnovers that might affect the outcome of a game.
The patented "ball-punch" of Charles Tillman, the NFL-leading eight interceptions of Tim Jennings, the sacks and forced fumbles of Julius Peppers … the young Huskies have been working diligently to copy the Bears' techniques.
Northern Illinois has 15 interceptions, 40 sacks and 11 fumble recoveries in 13 games this season.
The Huskies will need all of the turnover help they can get to upset Florida State in Tuesday night's Orange Bowl. And the Bears can use more turnovers to assist their generally unproductive offense when they face the Lions on Sunday in a game that could determine their NFC playoff fate.
"We work on (creating turnovers) every day," NIU defensive coordinator Jay Niemann said Friday. "We work on it in Miami and we work on it at home. It's part of what we call our 'circuit,' which is the first thing we do coming out of special teams.
"We love for the players to see (the Bears stripping the ball) on TV because we think they will emulate it and produce good things for us on defense. That's a big part of what we try to do, take the ball away"
The Huskies (12-1) are 131/2-point underdogs to the Seminoles (11-2), meaning turnovers would be at a premium for NIU's defense.
"We have to find ways to get off the field on third down or by taking it away on first or second down, however we can get out of a drive," Niemann said. "Takeaways, obviously, can produce better field position for our offense."
Tillman has 10 forced fumbles this season, as well as three interceptions for touchdowns.
"I am incredibly impressed," Niemann said. "It's fun to watch; he's very good at it. Obviously it's a focal point of his game and something he thinks about through the duration of plays."
NIU defensive end Sean Progar has 81/2 sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles.
"Turnovers are huge in any game. If you can get 'em in a BCS game against an opponent like Florida State, you know it is going to be big," Progar said. "Charles Tillman has done an incredible job setting records doing that.
"But it is going to come down to tackling first. Punching the ball out comes second. We have to get them down and wrap them up. Secondly we have to come in and punch the ball out. You know they have some elusive guys on offense."
NIU safety Jimmie Ward, a first-team All-MAC performer, has come up with big plays during his career, including four blocked punts and four interceptions. He has three picks this season and a forced fumble.
"We work every day on stripping the ball," Ward said. "I watch Ed Reed (of the Ravens) and I watch the big name players. I will be trying to do the same thing."
Defensive back Demetrius Stone has two interceptions and two fumble recoveries to go with his 73 tackles this season.
"You can tell that it is something (Tillman) works on," Stone said of the takeaways. "Just like he works on his fundamentals of stripping the ball and punching the ball out, we work on stripping the ball and tackling."
