A Letter to an Officer's Wife
Be patient. Be kind. Remember the man under the uniform. This new label, "cop" doesn't define him although it does alter him.
I came across an old photo album the other day looking for pictures of my soon-to-be 16 year old son for his birthday. I have a dozen photo albums; all from before the time of digital photos. Although my intention was to find chubby cheeked pictures of my son, when I flipped open this particular album, I stopped, sat down and looked at each and every photograph. The album consisted of my husband's police academy graduation day or better known as, "The Day I Pinned it On."
I pulled out a photo and looked closely at the girl holding a little blonde boy wrapped in a denim jacket and standing next to the man wearing a Phoenix Police uniform. The girl looking back at me was young, just twenty years old, with long spiral curled blonde hair and sparkling eyes. She stood there proudly beside the man she loved getting ready to participate in the ceremony that would carry him into the ranks of law enforcement. As I looked at that photo, I wondered, "What would I say to that fresh-faced, little girl if I had the chance to sit with her a while on that day fifteen years ago?" This question bounced around my head for several days, until I finally sat down and wrote this letter:
Dear Michelle,
What an exciting day! There are so many new sights and smells and noises--radios and guns and handcuffs. You're just barely starting your lives together, although to you having been married for two years with a ten month old son, you feel like you know everything already. Now here you are after months of helping him study traffic laws and criminal codes, watching him demonstrate take down moves and listening as his language changed. You're so proud! Look at him standing in formation with other municipal and state officers. One of these men or women may save his life one day. He looks so distinguished in that new uniform even though there are still traces of chapped skin above his mouth from those cold, cold morning runs up South Mountain. You had wanted to help him iron his uniform for today but he insisted on doing it himself. It had to be perfect. He spent hours starching, lint rolling and shining. His hair is freshly cut and his face cleanly shaven. He shines as brightly as his name plate, "Howard". Officer Howard. How funny that sounds to you, especially after that time you both kept saying it over and over again laughing with childish glee after he received the acceptance letter. He kept smiling long after you had stopped because you had a sudden realization he could get hurt or even killed doing this work.
They're putting up the flags now. He's on the honor guard. Of course, he is. He always wanted to be the best at everything he did. He snaps to attention proudly and marches in perfect cadence with the others. His military background really shows in his proud movements. Even when you were stationed together, you never saw him so crisp and sharp. You just want to jump up pointing and shout, "That's my Baby, right there. Do you see that officer down there? That's MY HUSBAND!" But you don't. He's already talked to you about the community's expectations of his personal actions and how you are an extension of him. You are now an officer's wife and must conduct yourself as such.
After the flag line, you have a few hours to kill before the ceremony. You're surrounded by his family and closest friends. Everyone keeps talking about how he's always wanted to be an officer and how he's worked so hard and how this will be the biggest challenge of his life. You're excited for him but feel a bit left out as everyone gathers around him talking about his accomplishments. You try to get closer to him but he is surrounded by his academy buddies. They're swapping stories about the time they've spent together and you're trying to comfort and quiet a now fussy baby. Finally, you take your son outside leaving the festivities behind. As the door shuts, it closes off the sounds of excited chatter and you are left outside. Wife and child on one side; co-workers on the other. This should be a good lesson for you, but in your youth and inexperience you don't notice.

In Brno They Are Opening The First "Plznička" - A New Type Of Pilsner Urquell Restaurant
19 July 2012
Brno, July 18, 2012 - On Friday, July 20, in Brno, they will commence the operation of the new Pilsner Urquell restaurant called "Plznička," which, in addition to the excellent tank beer Pilsner Urquell and classic Czech cuisine, will regularly offer interesting, cultural programs. The concept of these new restaurants will appeal especially to young adults not only as a pleasant place for hanging out but also as a space to express themselves artistically. The ceremonial opening of the first "Plznička" in the Czech Republic will be accompanied by a much-anticipated performance in Brno of the very popular band Navigators.
"Plznička U Formana" is the restaurant that represents the tradition of Pilsner Urquell brand, and at the same time keeps up with the modern pulse of our time, including everything it has to offer. Plznička also offers a space for self-expression via art exhibitions of young artists, concerts of talented musicians, or travelers' visual presentations," Dalibor Vainer, Manager of Marketing of Plzeňský Prazdroj explained.
Brno's "Plznička U Formana" offers, in addition to well-tended tank Pilsen lager, other barrel Pilsen beers such as Gambrinus 11° Excellent, Special Master Dark 18°, and non-alcoholic beer Birell. The restaurant is remarkable not only for its beer but also for its interesting Czech cuisine with its traditional and modern aspects. Their specialty, the pork side marinated in milk, roasted on a potato bed, and served with cabbage and a beer sauce, is unavailable anywhere else in Brno. "Plznička" is located in the heart of the town on Česká (Czech) Street, better known as "Na áře," in exquisite spaces of a historic building, once a home of Restaurant "U Formana." The restaurant has two floors with the top floor being non-smoking and able to host up to 70 guests, and the lower, bigger section with a capacity of up to 90 seated guests.
The concept behind "Plznička" aims at creation of popular places, where young adults can get together to not only enjoy quality beer and modern Czech food, but also a rich cultural program. Every Thursday, there will be interesting concerts of many types of musical formations in Brno. During summer, you can hear and see bands such as Two Basses, Homoguru, or Brno's own Gentle Irony Trio. Plznička will not limit its offerings to musical performances only. They are preparing a travel lecture given by Karl Wolf, and an exhibition of a design association "Mančaft."
The concept behind "Plznička" is remarkable also for its interior with fresh, modern design accentuating original patterns of the concept. "The main feature of each restaurant is the bar. The one in Plznička is made of two contrasting black materials - polished, shame stone Hi-macs and rough, natural slate. Above that, there is a dominant cupola-like light fixture with a large inside diameter, with honey-like light that complements the pleasant atmosphere of the entire space," architect Jan Špaček commented on one of the aspects of Plznička's interior.
The ceremonial opening of Brno's Plznička as a new cultural center will be held in an artistic spirit on this coming Friday, July 20. First, there will be an exhibition of the artwork by the author of the interior, architect Jan Špaček, called "Photogenic Aspects of the Arhitecture." This will be followed by the performance of Brno's D.J. Michal Pešina, and the evening will conclude with the unique, semi-acoustic concert of much-anticipated band Navigators that is recently considered the top of the Czech funky show business.

Oriol Romeu prepares for Manchester United's second visit in four days tonight determined to show his worth to the team.
The 21-year-old Spaniard has been used only sparingly so far this season, playing 90 minutes against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the previous round of the Capital One Cup, and a seven-minute cameo against Norwich at the start of the month.
Tonight's fourth round clash could see Romeu return to the field after a period of patience, and he is eager to make an impact and stake a claim for a regular run.
'I know I have to wait until the chance comes and I am trying to be ready and get my body fit for when I can go onto the pitch and play,' said the former Barcelona man. 'That's important for me, right now I feel ready and I am waiting for it to come. Wednesday night may be a good chance to show that I am ready to play for Chelsea.
'For me every minute I can play in every competition is important, it doesn't matter which one, you just want to play well and enjoy your football for the club. This is a competition that can give minutes to people who are not playing regularly, and it lets you show the manager that he can put you on the pitch.'
Despite his lack of action, Romeu refuses to be downbeat about his situation, and insists chances will come if he continues to go about his daily work.
'Mikel and Ramires are both playing well, the team is having a great season so far and the results have been going well for us, which is the most important thing,' he said. 'When you have players like that in front of you, you just have to wait, and the chance always comes so you just have to be ready.
'It isn't frustrating. You have to be relaxed. If you get frustrated you lose your mind, you don't train well and won't be prepared. I learned last season that when you're not playing you have to stay focused and wait. If you fight for your place it will come and in the end you will play more.'
Romeu also believes Sunday's defeat at Stamford Bridge can serve as inspiration in our pursuit of a place in the last eight tonight.
'Manchester United is always a big match anyway, but after what happened at the weekend, losing with nine men, there will be a big atmosphere in the stadium, and we are very motivated to go out and do our job, and win the match,' the midfielder said.
You can receive live commentary of tonight's game with Chelsea TV, wherever you are in the world, before viewing the action on our in-house channel from midnight.

So Mularkey was fulla' mularkey?
Methinks the jagwads had bigger issues to address. Scapegoat? perhaps
New Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell handed Mike Mularkey his walking papers Thursday, ending Mularkey's very brief and extremely disappointing one-year run with the team.
Jacksonville dropped from a 5-11 team in 2011 to 2-14 this year, in Mularkey's lone season as head coach. Possibly worse yet, quarterback Blaine Gabbert took no substantial strides forward under Mularkey's watch — Gabbert, the No. 10 overall pick in 2011, finished 1-9 as a starter with a 77.4 QB rating.
His lack of improvement, as much as anything, may have spurred Jaguars owner Shad Khan and Caldwell to erase the chalkboard and start from scratch.
"Mike is an excellent coach and I am sure he will succeed in his next stop in the NFL," Caldwell said in a statement. "However, I must do what I believe is best for the Jacksonville Jaguars and immediately explore every avenue possible to turn our football team around. For that to happen as seamlessly as we want, and as quickly as our fans deserve, I feel it is in everyone's best interests for an immediate and clean restart."
Mularkey won the Jaguars' job after four seasons as the offensive coordinator in Atlanta. He will likely now find himself back in the mix for any open offensive coordinator jobs — though the Gabbert issue could hold him back a bit.
That quarterback conundrum will be front and center for Caldwell and his new head coach. The Jaguars finished the season with Chad Henne as their starter. Henne turned in a couple of decent performances, but nothing that would push Jacksonville to commit to him long-term.
And Gabbert remains under contract through 2014. That, however, does not figure to keep the Jaguars from exploring the free agent market, considering a QB (Geno Smith?) at No. 2 overall in this year's draft or thinking about a trade.
Caldwell quickly put the kibosh on any Tim Tebow-to-Jacksonville rumors, with regards to a trade, on Thursday:
"I can't imagine a scenario where Tim Tebow would be Jacksonville Jaguar," Caldwell said.
All of the recent Jagaurs news, plus Gabbert's shortcomings, did seem to be pushing the team's narrative toward a Tebow-centric conclusion. But while Caldwell's declaration takes the polarizing former Florida Gator off the board, there remains little question that deciding on a No. 1 quarterback will be at the heart of the new GM's aim from now until the start of next season.
In Gabbert's defense, he will be facing a third straight season with a new coaching staff and new offense. Someone like Mike McCoy might be able to get the best of him, too. McCoy, currently the Denver offensive coordinator, has been a hot name on the coaching carousel and has had great success with QBs ranging from Tebow to Peyton Manning.
As far as other possibilities for the Jaguars' job go: current 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman already has generated some buzz, and Jay Gruden was much in the mix last year, before Mularkey was hired. Lovie Smith also may get a call from Jacksonville, given his track record in charge of a tough, defensive-minded team in Chicago.
The Jaguars could use a very quick turnaround — their downtrodden fan base grew even more frustrated in 2012, as the Jaguars faltered while a rapidly rebuilt Indianapolis team surged to a postseason berth. With the Texans and Colts atop the division, Jacksonville faces a substantial uphill climb back to relevance.
Mularkey will not be around for that journey. Only time will tell if Gabbert eventually follows him out the door.
So Mularkey was fulla' mularkey?
Methinks the jagwads had bigger issues to address. Scapegoat? perhaps
Poor Mularkey. Its not his fault that the ex-GM SUPER reached to select Blaine Gabbert last year.
A little late to get into the competition for finding a coach. They SHOULD bring in Tebow ... probably the only NFL team that should. He is NOT the answer, but he can win more games than Gabbert while they look for a real QB and it would be a sound marketing move.
Anybody remember the huge debate about who would be the better NFL quarterback - Gabbert or Cam Netwon?
I never understood that one. Netwon was at the top of college football in efficiency, had a ridiculous number of touchdowns, and had a ton of physical tools. Gabbert had very pedestrian numbers in a similar system and lacked those physical tools... yet so many of the experts had him as the best QB in the draft.
Insert hindsight comment here.
Look at all the terrible teams in the NFL. The reason they suck is because they either mis-evaluated O and D linemen during the draft or didn't have the coaching stability for player development. The game starts at the linemen level and J ville has blown it in both categories. Prioritizing a QB (Tebow?) or skill player when the lines are in shambles are why no one can keep a job.
Prescription: In a division with mediocre to above average passers in Locker, Luck, and Schaub, a ferocious front 4 and pass rush will keep them in games. (ask the Denver Broncos). Add in good O line protection for Gabbert and MJD and this is an 8-8 team. They have to begin rebuilding the lines and stop the carousel RIGHT NOW in order for it to pay off 2014-2015.
Feel for Mularkey. The guy was in a no-win situation. Previous regime got Blaine Gabbert as the QB and the new ownership had a stalemate with MJD (Maurice Jones Drew). Without a decent QB and without the best player on the team (MJD) playin for the team Jags had no chance. Mularkey was the fall guy and was unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I think Alex Smith ends up in Jacksonville as starting QB if Caldwell bring in Roman.
Weird. Another SI article sprinkling Tebow in wherever remotely applicable. "Oh, save me, Jeeeeebussssss!"
@RobertSmith Yup. Unless they can land someone like Smith from SF, they're better off just welcoming the Tebow circus to town, collecting the revenue & national attention / hype while they can, and try to rebuild with a future qb.
They might also get a few "highlights" out of it as well. :D
@pandah462 So if he was released you wouldn't think the jags should sign him on a flier? I don't know whether his true potential is but your dismissal of him smacks of the usual espn remedial talking points. He helped the broncos to defeat a very tough steelers team in the playoffs. That alone deserves at least a look in training camp.
@pandah462 Remotely applicable? Tim Tebow is from the Jacksonville area, has been rumored to be Jags bound for a couple of years, and is likely to be let loose by the Jets. You obviously don't like the guy, but the Jags franchise needs something to energize it, and maybe this would be a positive step.
@pandah462 excuses me - not "whether" but where...
Hey, panda bear, your endorsement of Gabbert and Henne are ample proof of your poor judgment and lack of credibility. Apparently, you bring little else to the table besides an irrational dislike of Tim Tebow.
@JoeCabot @pandah462 Clearly you are just a negative hater who has nothing good to say. The world needs less anal people like you who look for any opportunity to be a d!ck
@JoeCabot @pandah462 Zzzzzzzz. Hopefully the Jacksonville heads have more common sense than picking him up. The guy is a joke and needs to go away. They have Henne and Gabbert on the payroll. Those two aren't great, but with the right supporting staff, they could be adequate. They need to find a solid player to compete with those two, and that's not Tebow.
@pandah462 You don't like Tim Tebow but are okay with Henne & Gabbert. Only one of the three has a winning record in the league & has thrown a TD pass in a playoff game. He may not be the long term answer, but he & MJD could combine for a solid running game in a conservative game plan while the Jags retool the entire organization.

My second nephew is due on July thirteenth and I am so excited to meet the little guy! My sister-in-law, Alexa, had her baby shower in Las Vegas, where she lives, this past weekend and unfortunately I couldn't make it but I sent a cute little packaged her way with some homemade goodies for baby M.
I haven't really used my Silhouette Cameo in the way I know I can and I've been wanting to heat transfer something so I decided to take this opportunity to make something for my soon-to-be nephew. And this is what I came up with:
Alexa has such a cute style that I thought baby M should as well and I found some designs on Silhouette that I thought would be perfect. Alexa loves giraffes so I knew one of the designs was going to be that. I also wanted to make a 'made in Las Vegas' one because I think those are so cute. As for the arrows, well, I love arrows and think it's a cute unisex design.
To go with the onesies, I made baby M some burp rags which I have shown how to make in a post found here. I chose a fabric with little blue whales and sewed a blue and white striped backing on it and then I also chose a fabric with black bicycles and a black chevron pattern for the backing on that one.
And to finish the gift off, I made little gift tags to show that these gifts were homemade and made with love.
I love making homemade gifts and I can't wait to see baby M in one of these onesies! What is your favorite thing to make?

DUBLIN, February 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pv5ffx/personal_cloud) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Personal Cloud Market - Forecasts & Analysis to 2018" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
Access to information on the go has always been challenging for users in this digital age. USB's, Portable hard drives, Laptops, Smart phones have helped in this endeavor to an extent. But the real challenge is in accessing the most critical information at the right moment. Unfortunately often a user relents that he/she doesn't have the right information at the right moment. Personal cloud offers the perfect solution for this challenge by enabling a user to access his/her information which is synced across multiple devices (of the user), on the go, at the right moment.
Personal cloud has been in market for the past few years but the real growth has started over the last couple of years and the market is expected to grow by leaps and bounds in the near future. With so many players in the foray, consolidation is yet to take place and may occur in the next two years. Except for first movers and innovators most players will find themselves closing shop or merging with companies having deep pockets in the future.
Establishing a market size and arriving at forecast is an arduous task, as the market is highly fragmented and consolidation is yet to take shape. Also majority of the players in this market offer variety of services and claim their services to be the true. At present the market is split between hosting at provider premise (by service provider's data centers) and personal cloud hosted at user premise (using NAS devices). In the long run both will coexist but hosting at provider premise will attract larger chunk of the market and be responsible for the growth of this market to a larger extent.
The global market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 45.61%. Major growth will be witnessed in North American and European markets where as APAC, MEA and LA will also witness significant growth.

A lobby card for Buñuel's 1953 film El, which is still unavailable on DVD
One of the earliest and most striking images in the history of experimental film is also one of the most enduring cinematic moments of all time, perhaps because it can be seen as a visceral metaphor for the film watching experience itself.
A poster for Buñuel's 1950 film which caused a furor in Mexico, but earned Buñuel a best director award at the Cannes Film Festival
The image is that of a woman's eye, apparently sliced open with a razor, and it appeared in the 1929 short Un Chien Andalou, made in France by two self-styled surrealists: the artist Salvador Dali, and his friend and collaborator, Luis Buñuel.
Never mind that the eye was actually from a dead cow, or that Buñuel had to hand-edit the film by himself in his mother's kitchen -- the image is powerful, resonant, and very alarming.
The scene has since been cited as the genesis of everything from low-budget movie making to rock video editing, but it was also the genesis of Buñuel's own career as a director.
Film reviewer Chris Dashiell says that Buñuel's career that bore much in the way of cinematic fruit -- for those who are bold enough to watch...
Who is Chris Dashiell?
Film reviewer Chris Dashiell
Chris Dashiell has been writing about movies for seventeen years, serving as the editor of the online film lovers' guide Cinescene for ten of them. He currently reviews films for Flicks, a weekly program on Tucson's community radio station KXCI, and he confesses to shamelessly idolizing Carl Dreyer, Jean Renoir, and Luchino Visconti.

MOUNT VERNON The Alcove Dinner Theater and CES Credit Union presents Lost in Yonkers. The production is directed by Bruce Jacklin and was written by Americas best-loved playwright, Neil Simon.
This acclaimed production has reached critical and popular success, winning Simon his first Pulitzer Prize. Many critics consider it to be his best work and the pinnacle of his career. Set above a candy store in New York, Yonkers is the story of two young brothers who come to live with their strict German grandmother during World War II. While awaiting the return of their father, the boys wrestle to contain their fiery wit as a host of relatives (one more eccentric than the next) enter their lives a mobster uncle; a lovesick childlike aunt; an overbearing, hard as steel grandmother. The boys find themselves nose to nose with a family as sweet and hard as the candy they peddle downstairs.
Lost in Yonkers is Simon at his best riding the line between comedy and drama. It is a play about family. What holds them together? What pulls them apart? What are the inescapable bonds that bring children home after life has conspired to push them away? Questions which, in Simons hands, become the center of a highly entertaining and moving evening of theater.
Though technically labeled a comedy, the play strikes a poignant balance between comedy and drama.
The cast and crew include some familiar faces along with some actors new to The Alcove stage. The cast members are Alex Diehl (young Arty), Thor Fox (teenage Jacob), Maureen Browning (Aunt Bella), Kathy Sturm (Grandma Kurnitz), Bruce Jacklin (Uncle Louie), Steve Herbst (Eddie) and Ruth Frady (Aunt Gert).
Production crew includes Kate Redfield and Lauren Bennet as stage managers, Jackie Hatch-Miller and Bonnie Picket as stage crew, Patti Dice and Scott Swingle on lights and sound, Dan Fox and Dan Bockover constructing the set, Ian Ernsberger as sound and light designer, and Chris Aust designing costumes. The production dates are every Friday and Saturday night beginning Friday through the Feb. 25.
Social hour begins at 6:30, with dinner at 7:30 and the performance will follow dinner. Call The Alcove Restaurant for menu, prices and reservations at 392-3076 and ask for Faye. Produced with special permission from Samuel French Inc.

Unbounded Tic-Tac-Toe is an implementation of a popular game: the user plays against the computer, each placing their mark (X or O) at a vacant place on the board. The goal is to get a specific number (between 2 and 10, usually 5) of marks in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The twist is that the board is infinite.
GeBoP stands for General Boardgames Player. GeBoP allows you to play 9 strategic boardgames against the computer or against another player. You can even watch a number of computer players fight among themselves. Some of the games can be played with a variable number of players, and other games can be played on various board sizes. GeBoP features a unified best move engine. Because of this, additional strategic boardgames are easy to add to the application.

September 11 at 11 p.m. / 10 p.m. Central, Bodog Fight will crown its first ever women's world champion, as Tara LaRosa and Kelly Kobold battle it out for the 135-pound belt on a special episode of the hit series Bodog Fight: New Jersey.
The occasion is extra sweet for LaRosa (12-1), who was raised a few miles from Trenton's Sovereign Bank Arena where the fight takes place.
"I grew up in a small farming community called Woodstown in nearby Salem County," she says. "So this fight is in my back yard, and all my friends and family will be there. I can't think of a better storyline than to have them cheering for me as I try to win the women's title. It's going to be awesome."
Tara LaRosa
Most of Woodstowners at the now defunct St. James Catholic High School would not have imagined their mild-mannered classmate would grow up to be a professional fighter, according to LaRosa.
"I wasn't tough at all back then," she says. "In fact, I couldn't pick a fight to save my life. Actually, I was known more for being the peacekeeper when a fight did break out."
In 1996 a love of Jean Claude van Damme and Chuck Norris action films inspired her to enroll in Judo. Winning several competitions, LaRosa soon moved to MMA, studying with the legendary Royce Gracie. During this time, she often crossed paths with Laura D'Auguste, who was originally slated to fight LaRosa before tearing ankle ligaments during training.
"Laura and I both came up through the North American Grappling Association," recalls LaRosa. "We've come very close to fighting several times before, but for whatever reason we could never hook it up. So, I was really excited to finally fight her, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be."
Instead, LaRosa will face the knockout power and excellent submissions of the hard-hitting Kobold (16-0-1).
Surprisingly, LaRosa thinks she is an underdog. "People will expect me to win, but this is not an easy fight for me. Kelly's more of a brawler, unlike Laura who is more technical. So, I'm going to have to change my game plan 180 degrees."
But LaRosa understands injuries are unavoidable in this sport and is ready to adjust her focus in order to face her new challenger.
"You just take it as it comes. It's a five round title fight with an opponent who is much heavier and stronger, but I'm up for it. I can adapt."
Can't catch the action on ION (or The Fight Network in Canada)? All episodes of the Bodog Fight series are available worldwide through streaming video at NewBodogFight.com, with behind-the-scenes exclusives, fighter bios and additional footage only available online.

The station made the announcement this morning. She replaces Chris Walker, who left after three months, citing family concerns. Gov. Pat McCrory's office made it official a few hours later. "Kim Genardo is a very talented professional who has a wealth of experience in media and covering state government,"McCrory said in a statement. "We are thrilled to have her as part of our team."
Genardo, who starts her new job Wednesday, has been with the station for 15 years. She is a graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. She will receive a $120,000 annual salary.
Media blogger Jim Romenesko is raising questions about the move, noting Genardo interviewed McCrory 10 days before the announcement.

Italian >Carrabba's Italian Grill
10160 South Eastern, Henderson, NV | Directions 8905236.005215 -115.111141
M-Th 4pm-10pm, F-Sa 11:30am-10:30pm, Su 11:30am-9pm
GO TO THE SUMMERLIN LOCATION – My family loves Carrabba's! We have been to them at home in Vegas and as far away as Florida. We always get the meat or fish entrees. Our experiences have always been good besides when we go to the Henderson location off of Eastern : (. The food at that location is not the same and neither is the service! One time our food was really REALLY oily, from the spinach to the chicken (the plate was actually dripping with oil.) I wasn't going to say anything but the manager came to the table asking how we enjoyed our meal ( the check was paid, (not expecting a free meal or anything) so I felt a little more comfortable to make them aware of the problem.) The manager just said that I should have said something earlier and rudely offered me some spinach to go. Yea, that sounds yummy??? Apparently, they only want to hear from you if you have good things to say.
After that we always go to the Summerlin location which has always been great but on New Years eve 2012, we decided to give Henderson another try because it was closer. Same crappy food, the waiter didn't even offer a desert menu or coffee and basically herded us in and out. Great New Years Eve meal, thanks a lot. We don't go to Carrabba's too often, maybe around 6 or 7 times a year but when we do go we expect the food and service to be what it is at every other Carrabba's, making it worth the price. Never will we go to the Henderson Carrabba's again. It's worth the trip to Summerlin for us.
The Calamari were good. Thanks to these reviews im glad I order it!
An open kitchen churns out wood-fired pizzas and fresh-made pastas at this casual Sicilian-American chain. – In Short
Decorated with family photos of founders Damian Mandola and Johnny Carrabba, the open dining rooms pack groups of friends and extended families into four- and six-person tables and booths; smaller parties or couples can grab stools at the open kitchen's adjoining bar to watch chefs make dinner. The traditional southern Italian menu offers grill specialties like steak Marsala and fire-roasted chicken breast with sun-dried tomatoes; pasta dishes include fettuccine Alfredo and garlic-sauteed shrimp with linguine.
Outstanding Callamari – The best calimari I have ever had. The main course was excellent also. This is on our list of places to revisit soon.
Best Calamari in Vegas – Best calamari in Vegas. Friendly service, consistantly very good food. Prices are very reasonable.
Oh so flavorful – In my opinion Carrabba's has a very relaxing atmospere to be able to dine at with close friends and enjoy wonderful and incredibly flavorful.
NV Explorer – A chain, but way, way, way better than Oilve Garden. Good food, good service, good ambience, fair prices: what's not to like?

Jay Mathews writes in his education column for the Washington Post (7/6) that in response to a previous column he received 600 e-mails and "those emails revealed something that I think is worth front page treatment. Community colleges are having an extraordinary effect on American lives." They are "educating 46 percent of the undergraduates in the country, and luring back into the world of learning millions of people whom our public schools have failed." For those that have personal or financial difficulties, community colleges provide a way out of their problems. These colleges offer betterment to those whose educations did not prepare them for a four-year college. Also, due to community college's different approach to teaching, they can reach students who do not learn well in traditional, lecture-oriented classes. So "it is hard to overlook the vibrancy of two-year schools, even if they are ignored by elitist columnists like me."
Virginia Community College and University Team Up To Fill Science Teacher Gap. The Daily Press

Ronald Davis, vice president for academic affairs at TNCC said, ''We're targeting one area where there is a demand for well-prepared individuals.'"

Articles and Media Information
Louisiana Higher Ed Commissioner Reports 82,000 College Students Displaced.
The Chronicle of Higher Education (10/13, Mangan) reports, "With a third of their students forced from their campuses by hurricanes, faculty members being enticed away by other states and private contractors, and waterlogged buildings mired in muck and mold, Louisiana's colleges and universities are struggling to get back on their feet, officials told a joint meeting of two state legislative committees on Wednesday. Louisiana's higher-education commissioner, E. Joseph Savoie, said Hurricane Katrina had displaced 100,000 students at public and private colleges along the Gulf Coast, 73,000 of them in his state. Hurricane Rita scattered an additional 9,000 Louisiana students. Taken together, that represents about 34 percent of the state's college enrollment and nearly half of its community-college students. The hurricanes also displaced at least 10,000 public-college employees." Savoie "estimated that public colleges and universities had lost about $63-million in tuition and fees.
St. Louis CC To Break Ground On 4th Campus.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (10/15, Kumar) reports, "For years, St. Louis Community College has dreamed of following the urban migration to west St. Louis County, to be prominently in the midst of new homes and businesses. In 1998, the college district bought 66 acres in Wildwood for just that purpose. But other building priorities and budget cuts stalled the project -- until now. Today, the college will break ground on a $23 million, high-tech and eco-friendly building that will anchor its fourth campus. 'You want to make sure you're in the proximity of the community you serve,' said Chancellor Henry Shannon."
Proposed Tuition-Free Vocational School Seen As Threat To Nearby Rhode Island Public School.
The Newport Daily News (RI) (10/14, Flynn) reports, "A nonprofit education company plans to establish a new, tuition-free high school on Aquidneck Island that focuses on career training, a plan Newport school officials say could threaten the future of the Newport Area Career and Technical Center. The state-funded Big Picture Co. is planning to establish a Metropolitan Regional and Technical Center in the city next September, with a 30-student freshman class that will meet at the Florence Gray Center off Girard Avenue. ... 'The real issue is they are tuition-free, and we're not,' School Superintendent John H. Ambrogi said, referring to the Newport Area Career and Technical Center, which is operated by the Newport School Department. 'No matter how good we are, we will lose students from the sending districts.'"
Louisiana Business Leaders Collaborate With Educators On Dropout Prevention.
The Shreveport Times (10/14, Leone) reports that businesses in Louisiana are having trouble finding skilled laborers. "Statewide, more than 600,000 people ages 18 to 64 -- more than one-fifth of those in that age group -- have not finished high school, according to a January report from the governor's office. The same report from the Adult Learning Task Force shows about 137,000 Louisianans ages 18 to 64 have less than a ninth-grade education. Thursday...about 75 business and education leaders...participated in a luncheon at Bossier Parish Community College focusing on finding solutions to the area's dropout problem."
Florida Community College Unveils $20 Million Emerging Technologies Center.
The Palm Beach Post (FL) (10/13, Hong) reports on the opening of Indian River Community College's $20 million Kight Center for Emerging Technologies. College officials "hope that with the center's recent opening, more students...will help make IRCC and the Treasure Coast a go-to place for high-tech and biomedical companies. Tuesday, local officials and state legislators crowded the atrium of the four-story Kight Center for a formal dedication. Built with state money and about $7 million in private donations, the center is 'the largest investment in the history of Indian River Community College,' President Edwin Massey said." USED's Beto Gonzalez "also attended, calling the center 'a leading partner' in business and research ventures in the region."

It seemed to be a distributed data issue of sorts to me - as only a subset of users are effected, and the assumption that OTN's Jives architecture (that includes support for Far East languages) need to be distributed across a number of physical servers.
The problem usually lasts less than 24h in my experience. Attempting to update one's profile does nothing to correct the problem.
