You need a dashboard (look here http://psilocybe.emo...com/dashboards/ ) and dvd2xbox to backup your games to your hdd, XBMC to play MP3's and movies etc.

HEREFORD - Hereford Economic Development Corp. Executive Director Don Cumpton announced Tuesday that construction will start on a new dairy in Deaf Smith County in January.
"This is the third dairy to locate here in the last eight months," Cumpton said. "We're excited. We think it will improve our economy."
Cumpton said the Hereford City Commission on Monday evening approved a $160,000 loan for a land purchase of approximately 320 acres located about six miles west and nine miles north of Hereford by dairy co-owners Chris Cabbiness and Joe Ward of Hereford and Stanley Jones of Portales, N.M.
Cumpton said construction costs will total about $3.5 million for the 2,400-head dairy. He said the dairy will be expandable to 3,600 head of cattle.
The dairy should employ about 20, Cumpton said.
The $160,000 loan will be forgiven, Cumpton said, if the dairy commences operations by April 1.
The new dairy comes in the wake of a flurry of dairy construction in Deaf Smith County.
Cumpton said that the new VanDerWag Dairy, located about six miles north of Hereford in Deaf Smith County, is nearing the completion of construction. He said officials at the 2,000-head dairy expect to begin milking in November.
And the Mission Dairy, which is permitted for 26,000 cattle, expects to commence milking operations in January. The dairy will start milking about 1,000 cows and build up to 3,500 head.
The operation plans three more phases, with 3,500 head added in each phase to raise the number to 14,000 head in the next eight to 10 years. When the project is complete, the facility would have an additional 12,000 replacement animals for a total of 26,000 head.
Cumpton cited a number of factors for dairy operations moving to Deaf Smith County, including available low-cost feed, quality water and dry climate.
And there's another big plus, Cumpton said.
"Our community supports the dairies really well," he said.
And Deaf Smith County just might see more dairies on the way.
"We're talking to other prospects," Cumpton said.

I have just installed some 50 odd Sedona controllers that are all IP based. We ran in a new standalone network and all necessary infrastructure to support it.
I didnt even thik of those at CSI we used a sensor that they called a lini-temp and I believe it was something very similar to the item suggested by Bob.
I am not sure if I have missed something but is there a reason why you decided you couldnt use a 0-10v DC temperature sensor instead?
This is the kinda thing I intend on setting up, I just need to chase up the tower design information.
Its not likely I will ever get 12°C condensor water anyway but I can certainly relate the tower setpoint to chilled water entering.
This is a variable orifice machine as well.
Have you done...
I understand the differance but that type of system is extremely rare here; hence the question.
I had it verbally confirmed again today, I have asked for it in writing, from the supplier/manufacturers "engineer" that 12°C water is optimimum for this machine?

I have seen a few systems where the cooling tower is coupled to the chw loop through a heat exchanger as the first stage...

There are lots of options to choose from but I too have chosen to go with a Jace as an initial step to monitoring a new chiller and some vfd drives that are bacnet capable.

I thought Inet7 was the only version of Inet that was built to run on XP?
If memory serves me correct Inet2000 will only run correctly on Windows 98.
The inet software has a calculator built in, you just need to give it the right information, couldnt be any easier.
You need to enter 819/4095 and 0/100 in to the calculator.
The inputs are 0-20ma, if you want 4-20ma you need to scale for that, 819 counts is 4ma.

Greetings from the Hotel General Manager
We're glad you're here! More than dropping the luggage at the door, arriving at InterContinental Moorea Resort and Spa is about transitioning from the stress of leaving to the ease of coming.

Insider Tip
- Flowers are very common in Tahiti and can often be seen behind someone's ear or worn as a crown. However, the location of your flower holds significant meaning. Worn behind your right ear, it means you are single, whereas worn behind your left ear you are engaged, married or simply taken. To show that you are available immediately wear the flower backward behind your ear.
Hotel Overview
What to Expect:
- Dazzling, large bungalows, beautiful marine scenery and a lush green mountainside is what guests will find at the InterContinental Moorea Resort & Spa.

- Recent renovations have been completed on the property adding private pools, an extension of the terraces with an entertainment area, lower sundeck with shower and direct access to the lagoon as well as a gazebo.

Ravens shut down Dolphins
Published: Monday, January 14, 2002 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 14, 2002 at 12:00 a.m.
MIAMI ó Bruising defense, a grinding ground game and one pivotal pass put the Baltimore Ravens one victory closer to a possible return to the Super Bowl.
Baltimore scored on touchdown marches of 90 and 99 yards and allowed only 151 yards to beat the Miami Dolphins 20-3 in a wild-card playoff game Sunday.
The Ravens, who needed a win last week over Minnesota to make the playoffs, advanced to a second-round game Sunday at AFC Central champion Pittsburgh. Baltimore won at Pittsburgh 13-10 on Nov. 4, but lost 26-21 at home to the Steelers on Dec. 16. It was a painfully familiar ending for the Dolphins (11-6). They're the only team to reach the playoffs each of the past five years, but they've made an early exit every time by a combined score of 164-16.
Miami still hasn't advanced to the AFC championship game since the 1992 season or the Super Bowl since the 1984 season.
The Ravens played the sort of smothering defense that took them to the NFL title last year. Miami's lone score came after Baltimore fumbled the opening kickoff, and the Dolphins managed just one first down in the opening 23 minutes.
The defending champions also showed surprising punch on offense, rushing for 227 yards and converting 10 of 16 third downs.
Terry Allen carried 25 times for 109 yards and a score, and Jason Brookins added 65 yards in 10 attempts.
The Ravens went ahead to stay with a 17-play, 90-yard march that began midway through the first period.

Intimate partner violence (IPV), also known as domestic abuse or relationship violence, has generated a large research literature for the last half-century, particularly in the areas of criminal justice, psychology, and the social sciences. Interventions for victims and perpetrators of IPV have largely been sequestered to separately evolving efforts of law enforcement and the psychotherapeutic community (Chang et al. Women's Health Issues, 15(1), 21–30, 2005; Dalton Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma, 15(1), 59–75, 2007; Dobash and Dobash 2000; Feder et al. 2008; Gerbert et al. Journal of Family Practice, 49(10), 889–895, 2000; Wathen and MacMillan. Journal of the American Medical Association, 289(5), 589–600, 2003). This article presents a brief overview of the historical evolution and development of these discrete perspectives and identifies and assesses current collaborative interventions rooted in these historical precedents. In conclusion, the authors provide a summative discussion of the most current findings of research into IPV interventions, with a particular focus on the changing roles of race and gender in both the criminal prosecution of IPV and services provided to IPV perpetrators and victims.

Over the past 200-300 years, these modern-day descendants of domestic horses have adapted to the hardships of living near the ocean. Prior to the refuge's establishment in 1943, the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company purchased the ponies and continues ownership to this day.

Report: Konami drop Six Days in Fallujah
Whoops. Konami's dropped Six Day in Fallujah after the completely unexpected heavy criticism levelled at the Iraq War project.
"After seeing the reaction to the videogame in the United States and hearing opinions sent through phone calls and email, we decided several days ago not to sell it," a Konami rep told Asahi.
"We had intended to convey the reality of the battles to players so that they could feel what it was like to be there."
That was kind of what got the kids antsy, Mr Konami.
The title was supposed to release for PS3, 360 and PC in 2010. It's being developed by Atomic Games.
There's a good opportunity there, Mr Struggling Publisher Looking for Easy Money. It's certainly got "buzz" behind it.
Thanks, Dark Zero.

Michael Vick to Plead Guilty in Dogfighting Case
More on Vick & Dogfighting
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has accepted a plea deal with federal prosecutors over his involvement in a dogfighting case. Vick's lawyers said he would plead guilty at a hearing Aug. 27 in Richmond, Va.
Billy Martin, Vick's lead defense attorney, released a statement about the move:
"After consulting with his family over the weekend, Michael Vick asks that I announce today that he has reached an agreement with federal prosecutors regarding the charges pending against him. Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to those charges and to accept full responsibility for his actions and the mistakes he has made.
"Mr. Vick wishes to apologize to everyone who has been hurt by this matter. The legal team and Mr. Vick will appear in court in Richmond on August 27."
Vick's guilty plea follows similar actions by his three co-defendants. Two of them pleaded guilty last Friday and said Vick financed gambling on dogfights at Vick's property in rural Virginia. One of them said Vick helped hang, drown and electrocute dogs that didn't perform well.
The terms of Vick's plea deal haven't been announced.

Sneaker: DaDa CDubzz
Player(s): Chris Webber
Around 2001, 2002, sneaker companies and All-Star players lost their damn minds. Maybe it was because guys got to play in their team uniforms, but everything all of a sudden turned to patent leather and candy colors. And if any one sneaker epitomized that whole era, it was Chris Webber's chrome Dada CDubzz from the 2002 game in Philly. But hey, at least they weren't spinners.

Right or Wrong? Hostile communications

No matter the topic, only the shrillest, most extreme voices seem to be heard. How can we find common ground for reasonable, reconciling conversations, especially in our congregations?
Down Home: Gratitude, respect—and prayer—for Jimmy Carter

2nd Opinion: Cheer for moral leadership, not merely football success
- August 28, 2015
- By Mark Wingfield
All of Texas seems to be aflutter about the Baylor University football player convicted of raping a female student in Waco. Which means this ought to be a really good time for Christians of goodwill to engage in a thoughtful conversation about what really matters at a faith-based university.
2nd Opinion: Anti-gambling archives a treasure trove of wisdom

The anti-gambling movement has made peace with being perpetually broke. We have figured out how to do more with less, and it's always been a labor of love.
Right or Wrong? 'Protestant privilege'
- August 17, 2015
- By Marv Knox / Editor
A friend says when many people talk about "freedom of religion," they mean they want government to allow them to freely exercise their religion, but they don't care about others' religion. He says this has been the "Protestant privilege" for decades.

2nd Opinion: Bivocational ministry is a thing of beauty
- August 15, 2015

When the spectrum of Christian ministry is considered, the majority of the people serving congregations in the role of minister do so bivocationally. Bivocational ministry is the norm. It is a thing of great beauty.

LightHeart Gear Duo
Lightweight hiking tent for backpackers. This past February my husband and I hiked almost 500 miles of the Appalachian Trail. We started at Springer and upon getting over Sassafras Mountain it became very obvious that our current tent wasn't going to cut it. Ended up at an outfitter who sold us a Light Heart Duo. We set the tent up a couple of times along the trail and found it not to our needs. The tent is very lightweight, easy to set up and no need for poles as it uses your trekking poles. There… Full review
Sierra Designs Lightning 2 FL
This tent sets up extremely easily, even alone, and at just over 3# packed weight, is still super light. I could set it up with the footprint and guying out the vestibules in about 6 minutes by myself. It tears down and packs back up in about the same time. This tent was an excellent choice for my week-long hike in the Emigrant Wilderness. Although made to sleep two, it is still an excellent choice if going it alone. I highly recommend it for anyone on a long outing or just a long weekend. This… Full review
Sierra Designs Orion AST
I love this tent!!! I love this tent! I have had it over 10 years and it was exactly what I was looking for. It is lightweight and very easy to set up. I have done it by myself for years. It packs right away. The ultralight poles are strong and will not shatter like the old fiberglass poles. It pitches tautly and I have had it in high winds with no problem at all. I have had no problems with rain or wind. I have re-waterproofed it several times with no problem. The ventilation is good. It is just… Full review

Good all over backpack tent. Big Agnes makes a great tent. The color choice is not for me, but for the price could not beat it. I'm 6' 240 and have no problems with its size. Full review
ALPS Mountaineering Meramac 2
Great little tent for car camping on a clear night on dry ground. I took a chance buying this tent, knowing that the fly didn't cover the doors was a bit worrisome but other reviews I read didn't find this to be a problem, even in heavy rain. It's been crazy hot lately but hasn't rained too much, so I chose ventilation over a full-length rain fly. Bad decision. My first time using it was the rainiest weekend I can recall in a long time, and the tent really did not perform well. Unfortunately… Full review
Big Agnes Tensleep Station 4
A highly versatile and cleverly designed tent that has some baffling omissions. I purchased this tent for an 18-day self-supported Grand Canyon trip so that I would have something tall enough to set up roll-a-cots in if the monsoon hit us. It did, fortunately for only three nights in all, but the Tensleep Station 4 worked very well for my intended purpose. Setup is very logical, with color-coded tabs on the tent and fly to make sure it is aligned correctly. There are four poles in all, three of… Full review
LiteFighter 1 Camo Tent
This tent was tested against extreme wind and rain and came out a success. A little spendy, but worth it! I used the Litefighter 1 for the first time while camping for five days in Oklahoma. This tent was put to the test with both >50 MPH wind gusts and > 2 inches of rain in a 24-hour period. This tent was a resounding success. During the night I'd hear the wind pick up and think, "this is it...this tent is going to blow over." It never did. It kept me dry the entire trip. The integrated… Full review
Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo LE
With protection along the "skirt" and the screen door, there is no need for the extra weight of further mosquito netting. If a wind shift is encountered during the night, the tent can be turned around without much effort. Memorize the best way to set up this tent to prevent a low sag between the ties. Once you learn the system, a taut pitch is one of the nice features. To help out, I added two more tie-out points along the longest edges. Look online for ways to make tie-out using elastic tubing… Full review

Quick to pitch, light, strong, quality build....Buy one!! Quick to pitch, room enough for me and the dog (who thought he'd won the loto when I pitched it in the Lakes, this summer).

"Alpine Adventures" Top 5 Page for this destination Hanmer Springs by fishandchips
Hanmer Springs Travel Guide: 45 reviews and 103 photos
The small town of Hanmer Springs is located in North Canterbury approx 100 minutes from Christchurch.
Hanmer Springs has been built up around thermal springs discovered in 1859 by a Culverden farmer. The area was very slowly developed until 1864 when a bridge over the Waiau was built providing much easier access to the area. With the addition of the bridge came an increase in visitors which sparked interest in the continued development of the area. This got a major boost in 1883 when the Government Lands Department took over development. The pools were often used for their 'theraputic abilities' though the benefits are often debated with no proof either way.
Early on nude bathing was the order of the day with either a skirt or pair of trousers flying from a flag pole signalling which gender had use! These days there are both cold and hot pools of varying temperature plus a fairly new water slide complex catering to all. If you still want a clothes optional environment you can hire one of several private spas.
To support the increase in visitors accommodation was created including the Hanmer Lodge, now days the Heritage Hanmer, in the late 1890's.
There are lots of options other than the hot pools including skiing, golfing, mountain biking, bungy jumping and jet boating.
The Hanmer Springs Ski Area is around 40 minutes by car or shuttle from town. This is a small ski field has its access road off Clarence Valley road and is run by the Amuri Ski club. There is also Mt Lyford located 60km from Hanmer Springs for another skiing option.
The Hanmer golf club is located central to Hanmer and is a 18 hole par 68 course. It's small but a nice stroll unless the Nor Wester wind picks up making the course rather tricky.
There are lots of tracks for the MTB crowd to enjoy including several shared walking and MTB tracks.
There are so many beautiful vistas in and around Hanmer given its alpine location, large river and variety of walking and biking tracks.
- Pros:Great scenery, varied tracks and trails, nice hotpools
- Cons:Not much to do if you prefer nightlife
- In a nutshell:Relaxing alpine jewel

ASU hopes to avoid last season's mistake
AP Photo/Matt York Arizona State's Mike Leake earned his nation-leading 16th win in the Sun Devils' 7-4 win over Clemson in the Tempe Super Regional.
We're not going to explain that one to you. You'll just have to suck on it yourself.
But we will linger on this bit of analysis because it makes sense.
When asked how he felt about his team scoring six of its seven runs with two outs against the Tigers, he noted, "You get three [outs]. You might as well use them."
And Murphy also pointed out that you have to win two super regional games to advance to the College World Series. Not one. Two.
Last year, his then-third-ranked team won Game 1 of a best-of-three series against Fresno State here in Packard Stadium, and the Sun Devils ended up watching the fun of the College World Series inside Omaha's Rosenblatt Stadium from their living rooms.
But those two-out hits and an ability to shake off what Murphy repeatedly called "boneheaded" plays suggested the Sun Devils, who have finished ranked in the final top 12 seven times in the past 12 years but haven't won a national title since 1981, might be more resilient -- if not as talented -- than past vintages.
"We're pretty relentless," Murphy said.
Oh, but there's plenty of talent on the roster of the NCAA tournament's overall No. 5 seed. Take pitcher Mike Leake. He got the win and improved to 16-1 on the season. He leads the nation in wins and has 40 career victories. The junior right-hander tied Eddie Bane for the most wins at ASU by a three-year pitcher. He went eight innings and gave up eight hits and four runs -- three earned -- with seven strikeouts and one walk.
And he wasn't really happy with his performance. He's only given up as many as three earned runs two other times this season.
Leake said he was too amped and emotional early in the game. "It was [like] my sophomore year pitching," he explained.
Clemson kept things tight until Carlos Ramirez belted a two-run single to left in the bottom of the eighth that gave the Sun Devils a 7-4 lead. While Murphy said he planned to send out freshman Mitchell Lambson to pitch the ninth no matter the situation, the insurance runs surely made it easier to sit Leake down.
Every Sun Devil got a hit, and five players supplied RBIs. Ramirez went 3-for-5 with three RBIs.
Clemson seemed to gain momentum in the seventh when it tied the count 4-4 on a two-run single from designated hitter Chris Epps. Epps went 2-for-5 with three RBIs.
But Graham Stoneburner, who replaced Casey Harman after 5 2/3 innings, couldn't hold the lead, giving up three earned runs in two innings of relief.
"They got big hits when they had to," Clemson coach Jack Leggett said.
Particularly with two outs.
"Two-out runs are never good -- that's something we preach," said Harman, who was Leake's equal in the early going before faltering in the middle innings. "It's frustrating but we've got to move on."
Clemson, now 1-8 versus Pac-10 teams in the NCAA tournament, will need to win Sunday to survive. The Tigers fought their way back after losing Game 2 of the regional last week, so being in a hole isn't new for them.
"Hopefully, we can scratch our way into a game on Monday," Leggett said. "We have to make the momentum swing our way [Sunday]."
The Tigers will send left-handed freshman Chris Dwyer (5-5, 4.85) against Sun Devils junior left-hander Josh Spence (8-1, 2.37).

Storyteller: Once upon a time, there was a little house in a dark forest. In this house lived a humble woodcutter and his wife and their pretty daughter, Little Red Riding Hood. And in the middle of this deep, dark forest, there lived a vicious wolf! One day Little Red Riding Hood sent off to take some things to her old grandmother who lived deep in the forest. The vicious wolf saw Little Red Riding Hood and thought: "She looks very good to eat!" "Where are you going my, pretty one?" "Oh, kind sir, to my grandmother's." "Ha, ha, ha, ha!" snirked the wicked wolf and dashed off through the forest to grandmother's house. Knock, knock, knock went the wicked wolf. The door opened wide, but it wasn't grandmother who opened it. It was Buzz Aldrin, America's #2 spaceman! But this was not Granny's little house at all, but the headquarter of NASA, the American space research agency. The wicked wolf was shot by security guards. So all was quiet in the forest again. The humble woodcutter and his wife sold the their story to Der Speigel for 40 000 DM. NASA agreed to limit the number of nuclear tests in Granny's little house to two on Thursdays and one on Saturdays after tea.
During the Whizzo Chocolates sketch, when Mr. Praline is taken away by the police he is told to "stop talking to the audience"; this was changed only slightly from the original, where he was told to "stop talking to the camera".

Viewer Comments: Plantar Warts - Experience
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Plantar Warts:
Comment from: 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: April 20
Excellent - simple, well laid out. This provides a bit more information than other sites, but without causing alarm unduly.
Comment from: Jules, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: July 06
I had a plantar wart on my left foot just under the second toe. It got so bad that I could not put my foot down completely to walk. After many types of treatment, the doctor decided that radiation was the only method that would work. The wart had grown so much and spiraled downward that it interfered with my walking, thus the quicker method. After approximately 6 weeks, the wart came out as a cone of flesh and I have never had another problem.
Comment from: flatulance, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: June 03
I had one when I was around 13 or 14. It was about the size of a pencil eraser about an inch below my big toe on the ball of my foot. Took care of it with ice, lydocane, a dremmel tool, and some needle nose plyers. Drill around it with a circular saw attachment then grab it with the plyers. Sometimes they squeal in protest at this point and there will be a lot of blood. I sold mine to a Chinese merchant who deals them on the black market for use in soup.
Comment from: mullenstu, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: May 13
Many years ago, as a teenager, I had clusters covering the bottom of my feet and up between the toes. A podiatrist successfully burned them off with an electric needle. About 25 years later, I developed one more. A dermatologist placed a drop of blister beetle extract on it. The skin blistered, raising the wart up with it. When the skin fell off, the wart fell off with it. I've had no warts since.
Comment from: olie, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: December 01
My 20 year old son has had this planter wart for 3 years. Probably grown to the size of a 50 cent piece. Has tried freezing, medication, burning and cutting, etc. been referred to a dermatologist. I can't believe it's this difficult to get rid of.
Comment from: bad_pain&burning, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: October 12
I have had my wart burned off and a few years later in came back. And now it's much more painful. I can't handle to even stand on it. I cut it out once a week and the pain goes away for a day or two then it's right back but hurts worse than it did before I cut it. I am not sure what I should do now but the damn thing is killing my foot. If anyone has any idea what I should do about it now. Please let me know.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Mark Sanchez drove the New York Jets' offense down the field and capped a successful minicamp with a well-placed statement.
The rookie quarterback hit Wallace Wright in stride in the left corner of the end zone for a pretty 17-yard touchdown Thursday. A day after signing a record-breaking deal, Sanchez wasn't satisfied with just having a fat paycheck. He showed he wants to be the Jets' starting quarterback.
"Wow," Rex Ryan said. "What a day."
Indeed. Sanchez signed a five-year deal Wednesday night that could be worth up to $60 million, including a team-record $28 million guaranteed. With all eyes on the new high-paid face of the franchise, Sanchez delivered.
"It was the most comfortable that I've felt ending on a drive like that," Sanchez said. "I really just let myself go."
He sure did, completing his last five passes of the day in 11-on-11 drills. He hit Wright short, then connected with David Clowney on three consecutive throws to set up the touchdown toss that caused the hundreds of fans watching to cheer wildly.
"The other guys notice that, too," Sanchez said. "They notice when you throw an interception and they notice when you run down on a 2-minute drill and score. That's the way it's got to be from here on out. It's got to be that way. I know what it feels like to get in that situation and I'll be ready for that come camp time.
"It was a good way to end."
But his competition with Kellen Clemens for the starting job has just begun, and Ryan said the two are "really battling."
Clemens, a former second-round pick who was once considered the franchise's future quarterback, has also been solid this offseason while working mostly with the first-team. He also completed his last few throws on his final series of 11-on-11s, but his drive lacked the drama of Sanchez's.
"I feel really good about where I am right now with my comfort with the offense," Clemens said. "It will be more work for me through the offseason. Then, taking a little bit of a break to recharge the batteries. I'm very excited about where we are, going into training camp."
The Jets are done with full-team practices until July 31, when camp opens in Cortland, N.Y. That's when the quarterback competition -- clearly the most intriguing and important battle this summer for the Jets -- will really heat up.
"I knew it was going to be a dogfight and right now, you can tell it really is," Ryan said. "We probably won't know until whenever it becomes obvious, that's when we'll make the decision. Obviously, you'd prefer to have it sooner than later, but I don't think that's going to happen."
Clemens, to his credit, hasn't sulked one bit this offseason -- not when the Jets were flirting with Jay Cutler or when they traded up in the draft to take Sanchez. He was again gracious when he was asked if Sanchez's huge contract is a sign the rookie has the backing of the organization.
"That's none of my business," Clemens said. "From what I've been told, and the only thing that matters in this competition, is that the best player will play. They never said that the highest paid player is going to play, but the best player is going to play.
"If they change their approach, then I'll change my approach."
Ryan said early in the offseason he had a feeling about how the competition would go, but didn't realize how close it would be. He also said money won't factor in the final decision.
"I have to do what's best for our football team," Ryan said. "If that means we play a rookie, so be it. If we play Kellen Clemens, so be it. The guy is going to have to earn that job."
Meanwhile, Sanchez was the source of lots of good-natured ribbing Thursday.
"It's pretty good," he said, smiling. "A lot of guys do that, 'sniff, sniff,' smells like new money around here."
Even while Sanchez was talking to reporters outside the locker room, right tackle Damien Woody walked by and yelled out: "Hey, I need a loan!"
"No one has demanded too much," Sanchez said, laughing. "They've just been joking around saying, 'So, when are we going out?' or 'When are we going to dinner?' or 'Don't forget you're still a rook, you have to buy all the stuff for gameday mornings.' So, I've been hearing all of the requests."
Ryan singled out Sanchez, Wright, safety Eric Smith and linebacker Marques Murrell as minicamp standouts. ... Smith made his fifth interception of minicamp Wednesday. "Ed Reed.

3M Vflex
Dust masks can be restricting, particularly when you're trying to talk to someone. With its pleated sides, the 3M Vflex respirator solves this and other annoyances. Because the pleats add material to the sides of the mask, they give more flexibility around the jaw and provide a larger filtered surface area to breathe through. They also make it possible to fold the respirator flat, for easier storage. ¦ Price: $3. 888-364-3577. www.3m.com.

PRISCILLA AHN: (Singing) When you were young enough, doing all that funky stuff, ah...
GUY RAZ, Host:
Singer-songwriter Priscilla Ahn is regularly featured in the gossip pages of Korean newspapers, even though she lives in L.A. and has only been to Korea a few times in her life - not that she minds, though. She'd tell you her life is actually pretty boring. But she is quite possibly the first Korean-American singer-songwriter to land a major record label deal.
You're hearing the title track from her new record. It's called "When You Grow Up." And when Priscilla Ahn stopped by the other day to talk about the new record, she described what seemed to her as an otherwise ordinary upbringing.
AHN: Growing up sort of in a multicultural family, I never really felt, you know, that I was different - even though I was - from most of the kids in my school, which it was a predominantly white high school that I went to. But especially with music, I try to just approach it as, you know, an equal. I mean, because even though just being a female, you know, you can sort of go into the business being like, I'm a young female. I need to, you know, stick up for this and that. And I just - I try not to think about that stuff too much.
RAZ: You're still - this your second record, right?
AHN: Mm-hmm.
RAZ: And so audiences are still meeting you. You're still introducing yourself to a growing audience. But I think a lot of people would - may be familiar with this track. It's called "Dream." It's actually from your last album, your first album, it was on an episode of "Gray's Anatomy." Let me play it.
AHN: (Singing) Long walks in the dark through woods growing behind the park. I asked God who I'm supposed to be. The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie. I said a prayer and fell asleep. I had a dream...
RAZ: When this song was featured on "Gray's Anatomy," what happened? Did people sort of contact you overnight?
AHN: I don't remember it actually being like that, actually.
AHN: I knew it was a big deal, because, you know, songs got featured on "Gray's Anatomy," like, good things happened. That song has been used so much, I feel like, ever since then, on numerous television and film things, and - yeah. I - gosh, never expected that this song would turn out to be such a hit.
RAZ: On this record, your new record, you co-wrote most of the songs - or is it all of the songs, I think, right?
AHN: It's about half and half.
RAZ: You sing them, obviously. But you also play guitar, banjo, autoharp, piano, organ, keyboards - I'm assuming not all at once.
AHN: No.
RAZ: Right.
AHN: Yeah, you know, unless it's an L.A. show or everything sort of here, just for the sake of traveling with all those things, I pretty much keep it, you know, to guitar and, like, keyboard. I simplify it.
RAZ: Let's hear a track off the new record. This one's called "Oo, La La."
AHN: (Singing) What if you took the long way down to your favorite cafe on the east side of town, and you get stuck at the light, so you turn down a side street that you couldn't drive down 'cause it's a Saturday swap meet? Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la...
RAZ: There's a real kind of whimsical quality to this song and the sound of this song. Can you tell me what it's about?
AHN: This is sort of like the beginning of a new love. So it's sort of like the innocent stage of a love cycle.
RAZ: This seems a good place to be.
AHN: Yeah.
RAZ: All right. Here's a more, I guess, traditionally sad sounding song, which is called - it's called "Torch Song."
RAZ: So I'm assuming it's about unrequited love, but I'll ask you about it. Let's listen to it, and then I want to ask you about it.
AHN: Okay.
AHN: (Singing) You are the only one to know me...
RAZ: Now, this was going to be in "Gray's Anatomy" one day. I guarantee you.
RAZ: It's a sad ending to an episode.
RAZ: You've been doing this for a while, a couple of years now. And you've had some pretty amazing experiences and successes. You've toured with Ray Lamontagne and Willie Nelson. I got ask you about Willie Nelson, because I've heard a lot of rumors about what it's like to be on that bus, you know, fueled by vegetable oil. And there's some things that go on inside the bus. Did you ever get to go on the bus, on the Willie Nelson bus?
AHN: You know what? I didn't do that.
RAZ: You didn't. I got you.
AHN: Yeah, like, I could've been one of those people who knocked on the bus door, and they probably would've let me on and I could have hung out. I just felt weird doing that. I don't know. I think I was shy about it.
AHN: (Singing) Swimming in your parking lot. I'm singing in a camp on your lawn.
RAZ: I want to get a sense of where you think you're headed as an artist. You're obviously a singer-songwriter. Where do you see your next move?
AHN: I'd love to make an album of duet love songs and...
RAZ: Oh, that would be good.
AHN: Yeah.
RAZ: I hope they're heartbreakers, though, Priscilla.
RAZ: You don't want to depress everybody.
AHN: Right. No. No. There'll be some uplifting ones - some "Oo, La Las" in there. So I have no idea where I'll be five years from today, but I'm looking forward to whatever that is.
RAZ: That's singer-songwriter Priscilla Ahn. Her new record, it's called "When You Grow Up." It was released earlier this month.
Priscilla, thanks so much for coming in.
AHN: Thanks for having me.

Whether it was the late tipoff or the rare snowstorm outside, Arizona (22-4, 10-4 Pac-12) was sluggish at the start, needing nearly 12 minutes just to crack double figures. Once they got rolling, the Wildcats didn't stop, revving up the rowdy crowd inside McKale Center with fastbreak layups and tenacious defense.
Nick Johnson added 12 points, five assists and keyed a second-half run that put the game out of reach.
Washington (14-13, 6-8) failed to take advantage of Arizona's slow start thanks to a tough night on offense.
The Huskies shot 30 percent and were 1 of 11 from 3-point range to lose their fifth straight road game. C.J. Wilcox had 15 points and Abdul Gaddy added 12.

I wanted to know if I have to buy SharePoint (MOSS) 2007 enterprise CAL's (around 100 users) if I am using MOSS trial software, anybody know anything about it?
You do not need to purchase CALs for trial software, but you are not supposed to be using it in a production environment I don't believe. Is the 2007 trial software still available and functional? Seems a little late to be trying the previous version, if you are thinking about implementing anything now I would start by looking at 2010.
