When it comes to playing it home, no one in the NFL is better than the Patriots.
But, right up there with them is the Packers at Lambeau Field — the place the Patriots will be traveling to on Sunday, as Green Bay is 71-29 at home during the regular season since 2002, the fifth-best winning percentage in the league.
The Packers have been especially great this season as the Green Bay is a perfect 5-0 at home and have outscored its opponents 219-85, averaging 43.8 points per game. Getting off to quick starts has been a huge key for the Packers, as in the first half of their last four home games, they have outscored their opponents 128-9.
Bill Belichick knows getting off to a good start is key, particularly on the road against Green Bay. It does help the Patriots will enter the game averaging 18.8 points per game in the first half this year, the second-most in the league behind, none other than the Packers at 20.2.
"We're playing Green Bay in Green Bay," Belichick said on Tuesday's conference call. "That's where they've been very dominant really in terms of getting ahead and playing from ahead, first quarter. The numbers are staggering: 128 to 9 in the first half and [opponents] get outscored by 110 points in four games. It's got to be of historical type proportions, but we have to find some way to do that. Like I said, the games got so far away from Chicago and Philadelphia that no matter what you have, what kind of game plan, whatever you're trying to do, the game got out of hand so fast, they had no chance really to be able to do it."
Added Belichick: "Obviously, the whole getting ahead thing, you know, they've been so far ahead of some of these teams that they've played early in the game it's like they're almost running out the clock in the middle of the second quarter. We've got to try to find some way to stay competitive in the game to at least turn it into a game and not be trying to play from 28, 31 points behind in the first half."
Another key to the game will be taking care of the ball, and trying to force a turnover or two. That will be easier said than done, as quarterback Aaron Rodgers comes into the game completing 67 percent of his passes, averaging 284.8 passing yards per game and has 18 touchdowns and no picks in five home games this year.
Green Bay is tops in the NFL in turnover differential at plus-15, with the Patriots on its heels with the second-best mark of plus-11. The Packers' eight giveaways on the season are the fewest in the league.
"Turnovers are huge," said Belichick. "Not only do they not turn the ball over and get turnovers, but they're also the best in the league at converting turnovers into touchdowns. They're a very opportunistic team. They play good complementary football. They're an explosive team. They can get the ball away from you. They can pretty much score from anywhere and they're explosive in the kicking game. They have an excellent return game and [they're] solid on special teams. Those are all problems."

At the end of the Patriots' 34-9 win over the Lions this past Sunday, Lions center Dominic Raiola dove at the knees of Patriots defensive tackle Zach Moore when the Lions were taking a knee to end the game, as well as appearing to take a swing at him earlier on the drive. It was reported Monday, he likely would not be fined. Harrison said it comes down to playing the full 60 minutes and Raiola was in the wrong.
"I don't know how the NFL is going to respond, but I think you have 60 minutes to play football," said Harrision. "[Detroit has] a lot of issues for him to worry about. When you look at the Patriots, the Patriots each and every week — it's not they did something different, they play 60 minutes. That's [what they are taught] — to play 60 minutes and never expect to come out of the game, you don't care if you are losing by 50 or winning by 50. I think it was a real childish and immature act.
"I think it could have got somebody hurt and I think in a situation like that you have other concerns. He should be concerned with Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, that offense and them not being able to move the ball and put up points. I was very disappointed in what he did — a veteran player should know better than that. You have an opportunity to play 60 minutes, shut up and play 60 minutes. You got your butt kicked flat out and getting your butt kicked each week. Do something about it, don't try and cheap shot somebody and take somebody's knees out. There's no place for that."
Harrison also looked ahead to the Patriots' upcoming game against the Packers, who are playing just as well as the Patriots of late — winning seven of their last eight games and currently leading the NFC North with an 8-3 record. The Vikings put up a tough fight against them in Sunday's win, by a score of 24-21, and Harrison said they did a good job of limiting the big plays from Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the offense.
"[Minnesota] limited the big plays down the field and that's what you have to do, and the Patriots have the personnel in the secondary now that they can do that," Harrison said. "I think the key is to keep everything in front and they basically have to limit those big plays — 50, 60-yard bombs. I think Jordy Nelson might be leading the league in those big plays over 50 yards. That's what you see time and time again each and every week when you watch the tape of Green Bay. [Rodgers is] dropping back — whether it is a penalty, whether it is pass interference or whether he is just throwing the ball up for Jordy Nelson — the defensive back, he allows the wide receiver to get behind him and they are making those plays. Minnesota did a great job of that."
He suggested the Patriots might put Darrelle Revis on Randall Cobb and then double-team Jordy Nelson, likely with Brandon Browner and a safety. He also touched on how important it is to keep Rodgers in the pocket.
"Once again, the Patriots have the personnel," he said. "I think that's what you do. You continue to do what you do. You put Darrelle Revis possibly on Randall Cobb and double-team Jordy Nelson. You make Aaron Rodgers go to [Andrew] Quarless, their tight end and the third wide receiver. Obviously you need to pay attention to [Eddie] Lacy, who is starting to gain some ground running the ball, but I think that is what you have to do.
"Obviously you have to put pressure on Aaron Rodgers. As good as he is, keep him — he wants to escape and make plays with his legs outside that pocket, but if you can put pressure on him, he becomes human just like everyone else at the quarterback position."
Welcome to the Week 13 waiver wire! I have to say, I am surprised at the amount of high-quality options that are still available in most leagues. If you need to do some fine-tuning this week, you are in pretty good shape based on current ownership rates. The fact that you are here reading this means you still have something to play for and that's good news in and of itself. Let's make Week 13 count!
As always, the ownership percentages are listed for each player. These rates of ownership are based on Yahoo! leagues, which tend to be smaller and more representative of the 10-team leagues most of us play in. Obviously, these numbers are mostly for perspective. What really matters is which players are available in your particular league, and you'll need to do the legwork on that.
If you play in a large format with 12 or more teams, check out my expanded waiver wire over at Rotobahn. It will be posted early this afternoon. Check it out – it's free.
To keep pace with all WEEI and Rotobahn fantasy football content, including Sunday chats and The Fantasy Football Hour with my co-host Jim Hackett, follow me on Twitter.
Eli Manning, Giants — 54 percent
As I have said in recent weeks, Manning has a good closing schedule and one of the best young receivers in the game. You can ride Manning and Odell Beckham down the stretch in most leagues and you'll be very competitive. Not bad for a couple of waiver wire players.
Mark Sanchez, Eagles — 53 percent
Again, it wasn't pretty, but at the end of the day the numbers are there and I expect that to continue for the most part for Sanchez. The Eagles do play Seattle at home in Week 14, but that's the only game where you may want to pull him.
Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins — 65 percent
His schedule is mediocre down the stretch, but he's been productive in some tough matchups, so consider him a viable option in all formats. Tannehill travels to play the Jets this week on Monday night.
Isaiah Crowell, Browns — 59 percent
He looked good again last week and his handle on the starting job seems secure at this time. Crowell will give up plenty of snaps to fellow rookie Terrance West, but Crowell is the back who gets the most love near the goal line, so he has the most value. That said, in some leagues adding West for insurance makes good sense. This backfield has much more clarity now that Ben Tate is out of the picture.
Latavius Murray, Raiders — 25 percent
He's a player worth getting excited about as I indicated last week before Murray broke out on Thursday night. The one potential set back is the concussion he suffered. He's yet to be cleared for Week 13, but he gets extra recovery time due to the Thursday game and will most likely be available this weekend. Murray should be owned in all leagues. He has RB2 value if he's starting as we expect him to do going forward when healthy.
LeGarrette Blount, Patriots – 32 percent
His value will always be tough to gauge on a week-to-week basis. Blount was a huge factor for the Patriots last year, but that was a very different offense. This year's model can throw the ball far more effectively and should continue to do so. Nevertheless, Blount looks like a strong weekly flex play because there should be enough goal line chances to keep him in the scoring column with some frequency. He's a viable add in most leagues, and must be owned in leagues with 12 or more teams.
Dan Herron, Colts — 23 percent
He played well as we expected him to, but his snap total was higher than we thought and it sure looks like he's going to take Ahmad Bradshaw's role, rather than a smaller role behind Trent Richardson. It's not a shock, but it indicates that Herron could have significant value in PPR leagues, especially larger ones. He should be owned in all PPR formats just in case his role continues to grow.
Alfred Blue, Texans – 63 percent
He could have low value going forward as long as Arian Foster returns this week, but Blue has proven to be a valuable handcuff option for Foster owners and he should continue to be treated as such. He's crucial this week because there are four Thursday games and if some of your reserve runners play early, it will impact your ability to deal with Foster in the event that he's a game time decision, as he easily could be. Blue covers you in that scenario.
Terrance West, Browns – 61 percent
West is out there in 39 percent of leagues and going after him makes plenty of sense, especially for those who already own Isaiah Crowell. This is now a two-man backfield in Cleveland. If you roster both, you will have a locked in weekly starter no matter what head coach Mike Pettine does with the lineup.
Jarvis Landry, Dolphins – 21 percent
I said last Spring that Landry could be the next Hines Ward. Well, the rookie appears to be ahead of schedule. He's scored five times since Miami's Week 5 bye week and that includes a pair of scores in last week's loss in Denver. It's clear Ryan Tannehill looks for the former LSU star in crucial situations and that's likely to continue. This guy had the toughness, route running and good hands coming in as a rookie, and now he's got the trust of the quarterback and the coaching staff. I expect Landry's run to continue. He gets lost in this year's absurdly deep rookie class, but he can help you as a WR3/flex in all leagues.
Kenny Stills, Saints — 34 percent
Stills saw plenty of action on Monday night and we expect that to continue going forward. One of the more underrated receivers in last year's rookie class, Stills is a very good all-around receiver and that should keep his target totals high with Brandin Cooks out for the rest of the season. Stills needs to be owned in all leagues.
Andrew Hawkins, Browns – 37 percent
He may not have the upside that he had when he was the No. 1 option, but with Josh Gordon's return, Hawkins will get to play against lesser cornerbacks and that should make him a consistent contributor. He can help you as a depth option during the playoffs.
Robert Woods, Bills – 3 percent
If you read Rotobahn, you know we are fans of Woods' ability. While he has been inconsistent this season, he has certainly had his moments. He sure likes playing the Jets — catching 15 balls against them in the two games this season. Sadly for Woods' owners, the Jets are off of his schedule until 2015. Still, I expect Woods to be a featured player going forward and he's worth owning in all leagues as a solid depth player.
John Brown, Cardinals – 32 percent
He's a rookie who has outperformed even our high expectations and now he has a shot at starting due to Larry Fitzgerald's knee injury. Brown can help Fitzgerald owners as an insurance policy, and he can be a depth player for those who do not own Fitzgerald, especially in leagues with 12 or more teams.
Justin Hunter, Titans — 40 percent
He made a big play last week despite a sore knee and I expect those big plays to happen more frequently with rookie Zach Mettenberger at quarterback. Hunter is a high-upside flex play in all formats going forward. He has plenty of risk to go with it, but he should at least be owned in all standard leagues and is a must-own player in 12-team leagues.
Charles Johnson, Vikings — 1 percent
Johnson is more of a stash option in smaller leagues, but we've always loved his skill set and his upside. Johnson's rookie season was derailed by a bad knee injury (ACL), but he's healthy now and he could be a long term solution for the Vikings. Johnson is a must own player in large leagues and in long term formats like dynasty.
Stedman Bailey, Rams — 0 percent
Was Week 12 the beginning of a trend for Bailey? Perhaps. He was finally getting major snaps and he was targeted heavily as well. The result was seven catches for 89 yards and a touchdown. In my estimation, Bailey is the best technical receiver on the Rams' roster. I like him a lot as a stash option in all PPR formats and he has some value in larger non-PPR leagues as well.
Kyle Rudolph, Vikings — 47 percent
He got the ball rolling last week with 50 yards receiving and I expect his production to grow going forward. Rudolph is a weekly TE1 in all formats. Add him now and enjoy the results.
Jordan Cameron, Browns – 46 percent
He has a very good chance at returning this week from a lingering concussion. When Cameron does get back, he will not be the focus of defenses, and that's because Josh Gordon is back and he is back in a big way — posting 120 yards receiving right off the bat last week. Cameron should post TE1 numbers as soon as he can start. He's a potential play this week, but also a very nice stash for future weeks. He should be owned in most leagues.
Tim Wright, Patriots — 16 percent
This is a tricky one. Wright seems to post either big numbers or no numbers at all. The thing is, that's better than what a lot of the big names are doing. If I am taking weekly risk, I should at least get some upside, right? Wright certainly gives you the upside. He's the 14th highest scoring tight end as of right now. Now consider Wright only had five targets over the first month of the season — most of his damage has occurred from Week 5 on. So, based on the numbers, Wright is actually a weekly top 12 play at the position. He needs to be owned in most leagues, and he makes an outstanding handcuff option for Rob Gronkowski owners.

ESPN NFL analyst and former Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi joined Dale & Holley Monday afternoon for his weekly interview touching on a number of subjects, including the benching of Jonas Gray, the Patriots' secondary and to preview the upcoming game with the Packers. To hear the full interview, visit the Dale & Holley audio on demand page.
On Sunday, running back Jonas Gray didn't play a single snap after being sent home from the facility on Friday for being late. LeGarrette Blount, who was re-signed by the Patriots last Thursday, saw the bulk of the carries Gray would have likely seen. The running game wasn't a major part of the game plan against the Lions' defense, so Gray wouldn't have likely seen much time as it was, but Bruschi said his lack of playing time was surely discipline related.
"I think it was discipline," said Bruschi. "Bill [Belichick] would tell you, 'We do what is best for the team' — I laugh when he gives those robotic responses and you know it is going to come out of his mouth, but to me that looked like discipline. To me it looked like he was served up a fresh slice of humble pie. Why would LeGarrette Blount get every single carry? Could it be just a one week thing and Jonas Gray is sharing the carries this week versus Green Bay? Absolutely. It's all up to Bill."
Bruschi added: "For a head coach meeting you know never to be late for those, or a certain meeting. I don't remember doing that and we used to have something, a little thing called a slice of humble pie might have been served for Jonas Gray because I hear the kid is a good kid, but I don't know what is going on throughout the week, but if you are late like that, Bill does a great job of using these types of examples to send messages and usually the younger players need the messages sent to them harder and more strict than the older players sometimes because all of the younger players coming up through the system will remember this their entire careers."
The former Patriots linebacker told a story of Belichick's first meeting as a head coach and linebacker Andy Katzenmoyer was late and Belichick sent him home, setting the tone for how things were going to be.
"When I was a player and Belichick in his very first meeting here after he was named the head coach, it was the very first one, it was in the old Foxboro stadium and we were sitting there in the old meetings and in walks late my old buddy Andy Katzenmoyer," recalled Bruschi. "It was the very first meeting and linebackers sat in the second row, right there close to the coach and Andy just sort of walked in late and Bill looked at him and went off on him and sent him out. That sort of sent a message from the beginning there for a lot of players. A lot of humor and laughs went along with that. That's the type he's been the entire time no matter who it's been, so I kind of laugh when I see certain examples of things like this."

On this week's game against Green Bay and how the Patriots might need to make in-game adjustments: "I think it's important that you've seen the plan initially throughout the week — what to do against the Lions, to spread it out with short quick passes, and to establish the running game versus the Colts. What happens when it doesn't work? What happens when that initial plan doesn't work and can they make the in-game adjustments to then proceed and still have a productive offense. Say you go out against the Lions and they do something you weren't ready for. So, that game you possibly have to adjust in game. That possibly is going to happen in Green Bay because of the creative coaching, offensively and defensively for the Packers because of the adjustments of Clay Matthews at inside linebacker because they've had problems stopping the run. They have showed this year they are not afraid to adjust. This week could be a true chess match."
On the Patriots' secondary's play of late: "The last few games this secondary has shown the talents, especially the way [defensive coordinator] Matt Patricia is doing things in terms of using body position helps at certain times with linebackers and safeties to help [Darrelle] Revis, or [Brandon] Browner have Revis switch around so a receiver can't get used to the types of techniques that he has on one player for the entire game. You look across the line of scrimmage and there are two different animals in front of you. There's Revis, the smaller body and more quick and stay with you down the field type and then there is Browner with the action happening up front and [Devin] McCourty over the top — it's an interesting combination that Matt Patricia is using each and every week and it's been nice to watch to see a lot of solid, quality quarterback have no answer and the look on their faces of where they don't know what to do."
Every week over the course of the 2014 season, we'll provide a look at the Patriots pass rush numbers. Like all stats, the numbers have to be placed on context of game-situations and personnel. And while sacks can be overrated, when evaluated as part of a bigger picture that includes quarterback hits and quarterback pressures (the latter courtesy of Pro Football Focus), it should provide a good picture as to which defenders are consistently able to get after the quarterback. Currently, the Patriots are tied for 15th in the league in sacks with 25. Based on the official NFL game books and PFF, here's a look at the pass-rush numbers for the Patriots after 11 games for the 2014 regular season:

What a difference two months makes.
Following the Patriots' Week 4 blowout loss in Kansas City on Monday Night Football, there was plenty of criticism of the Tom Brady in the media, as he wasn't off to the best of starts to the year.
Obviously a lot has changed since that Sept. 29 game, led by Brady's play, as the Patriots have rallied with for straight wins to now have the best record in the AFC at 9-2.
In an interview with old friend Randy Moss on the FOX pregame show prior to last Sunday's game, Brady spoke of the criticism — acknowledging it may have been the first time he was criticized during his 15-year pro career.
"Really for my career I've never had a lot of criticism," Brady told Moss. "We won the first year that I played and then we won two more shortly after that. This was really the first time people came down on me. I took it in stride and I thought it was really a great opportunity for me to dig deep. I think I've always had that chip on my shoulder and there probably always will be because I was a sixth-round draft pick — that never goes away. I was the one no one really wanted in college. They really didn't want me in the pros. Now I am always like, 'Why do they want me to go away so quick?, Why do they want me to go away so quick?' I just have fun playing."
Brady is now 37 years old and in his 15th season in the league. Moss, who is now retired, asked Brady how much longer he has left playing and why he has a desire to play for as long as he can.
"I think there is nothing I'd rather do," said Brady." I don't have a lot of hobbies. There's something in my DNA that loves this game because I feel like I am 27. I just want to keep doing it. I'm having a lot of fun. We get to play football for a living and what would be any better than that?"
The interview started off light when Moss asked Brady about calling Rob Gronkowski's one-handed catch against the Broncos "one of the best catches he's ever seen." Moss brought up his one-handed touchdown catch against Darrelle Revis and the Jets.
"That Revis catch was pretty sweet," Brady said. "I saw it last night — you know what, I was watching the top 10 Randy Moss highlights last night and that was number one. That was a ridiculous catch. You made a lot of ridiculous catches, you kidding me?"
The Patriots quarterback also joked he misses Moss both on the field and in the locker room.
"Of course I do," he said. "Believe me there is only one of you and I was lucky to play with you for those three years. I miss you. We had such a great day, we were locker mates and I learned a lot from you."
Five things you have to know about the Packers (8-3), who will host the Patriots (9-2) Sunday at Lambeau Field in Green Bay:
Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson have a whole Brady/ Welker, circa 2007-2012, thing going on.
While Tom Brady was specifically talking about their execution of the back-shoulder fade, it's pretty much true across the board. Rodgers and Nelson have developed the same sort of relationship now that Brady and Wes Welker enjoyed when Welker was with the Patriots: Nelson is eighth in the league in catches (68), fifth in targets (106) and receiving yards (1,066) and fourth in touchdown catches (nine). He's only one of five receivers with at least 100 targets and 1,000 receiving yards, and has 18 catches for 329 yards and three touchdowns in his last three games. The 6-foot-3, 217-pounder out of Kansas State is Rodgers' go-to guy, and will be the No. 1 priority for the Patriots Sunday when it comes to slowing Green Bay. Rodgers also gets plenty out of the rest of his targets in the passing game, including wide receiver Randall Cobb (58 catches on 79 targets for 837 yards and a team-high 10 touchdowns), running back Eddie Lacy (29 catches on 36 targets for 335 yards and three touchdowns) and wide receiver Davante Adams (28 catches on 43 targets for 296 yards and three touchdowns)
They run the ball just enough to keep opposing defenses honest.
There's nothing overly flashy about the way the Packers operate when it comes to their ground game — simply steady and consistent, just enough to augment Rodgers and the Green Bay passing game. As a team, they're 18th in the NFL, averaging 107 rushing yards per game. Eddie Lacy is the lead back, having carried the ball 154 times for 672 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the year, all of which are best on the roster. (He's coming off an impressive outing against the Vikings where he finished with 125 rushing yards.) The Packers really don't have a traditional third-down type out of the backfield, but James Starks (nine catches on 17 targets for 48 yards) occasionally works in that role, in addition to serving as a backup to Lacy.
They occasionally struggle to stop the run.
There are plenty of teams who have done well running the ball against Green Bay. The Packers have held opponents to less than 100 yards rushing only twice in the last 18 games, dating back to last year. (In all, three teams ran for at least 150 yards against Green Bay this season, including the Saints, who had 193 rushing yards in an Oct. 26 win over the Packers in New Orleans.) Some of that is due to situational football, as the Packers have managed to make a lot of teams one-dimensional because they've been terrific at burying teams early — Green Bay has outscored teams 222-105 in the first half, and the big deficits have caused teams to try and throw the ball to try and get back into it.
They are really good at home.
The Packers have put together a Patriots-like stretch of dominance at Lambeau this year. They're 5-0 at home, have averaged 44 points per game and have won their games at home by an average of 27 points per game — that includes two games where they've put up more than 50 points. (By way of comparison, the Patriots have averaged 36 points per game in their six games at Gillette this season.) Rodgers has been really good the entire season, but he's been excellent at home — in his five games at Lambeau this year, Rodgers is completing 67 percent of his passes, is averaging 284.8 passing yards per game and has 18 touchdowns and no picks, to go along with a passer rating of 138.1.
They're really good at protecting the football.
The Packers have the fewest number of giveaways in the NFL this year (eight), with just four fumbles and four picks through the first 11 games of the season. Rodgers is the only quarterback in the league with at least 300 pass attempts and three or fewer interceptions, and he comes into Sunday's game against the Patriots not having thrown a pick in the last three games. They also do a really good job when it comes to taking the ball away with 23 takeaways (15 picks and eight fumble recoveries), second only to the 24 posted by the Texans. The Packers have at least one takeaway in every game this year, including eight in the last three games. Defensive back Casey Hayward leads Green Bay with three interceptions, and three other defensive backs — Micah Hyde, Tramon Williams and Sam Shields — have two each. It all adds up to them being plus-15 in takeaway ratio this year, best in the league and just barely ahead of second-best New England (plus-11).

First, see which one carries more games that your child likes to play. Then, consider how much memory the system has. Lots of games have downloadable features as well, which can easily fill hard drives. To make sure, buy a system that has enough memory.
Try to get the most life from your game console and controller. Game consoles and other electronic devices are not meant to take abuse, and thus are prone to malfunction if they are mishandled. Do not throw your controller if you get angry since it might break as a result.
A great way to get into better physical shape is to purchase a Nintendo Wii. The Wii offers a variety of fitness-related titles. Whether you like yoga, pilates, aerobics or boxing, the Wii can help you get some physical activity.

- jbazleDined on 11/20/2014The food was good, but it is certainly bar first and restaurant second. It is entirely too loud the way it is set up. Might go back for lunch but dinner is out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh seafood, great menu selectionr1r2r3r4Dined on 11/16/2014We visited this restaurant for a late lunch/early dinner at 4:30pm CST; the place was empty, which was nice. Attentive wait staff, fresh seafood, good selection of menu items. I got the Full Monty Spicy boil, and it was genuinely spicy and delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent servicejenjoDined on 11/7/2014Our waitress was very attentive without being smothering. She went our of her way to make sure everything was to our liking. The food was amazing and the prices were very reasonable. Great atmosphere and great music. My husband is very picky and hard to please when it comes to restaurants and he had nothing but good things to say. You have to try the seafood trio. Everything you expect plus more.Special Features:
- Great Meeting SpotWanDanDined on 10/21/2014Good food and good atmosphere. Awesome crab cakes!!! They don't just sprinkle cajun seasoning on their food like other restaurant chains, it is savory.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best food ever!!LovebluecrabDined on 10/17/2014I had the Chilean Sea Bass over garlic mashed potatoes with Buerre Blanche sauce and it was to die for!! Everyone at our table loved the choices they made. Our server was lovely!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- first time to blue crabdiondominoDined on 9/27/2014on my first visit to blue crab the service was very good food was average and I thought the prices were high.Special Features:
- 1st time at Blu CrabGoodFoodDined on 9/20/2014My 1st experience at the Blu Crab was "OK". It didn't blow me away nor was it disappointing. A couple of things to note. I had a beer at the bar prior to dinner. Wanted to add that to dinner tab. Bartender said ok but maitre d/mgr rang it up anyway. I guess she didn't trust me 😁. Secondly, Gumbo was not great. Heavy tomato taste and not enough rice (I'm a born,bred New Orleanian! so I've had 1 or 2 bowls in my lifetime). Just saying....Also, the "Cajun spice" was just cayenne pepper! Besides that, experience was not bad at all. Might be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time, we loved the food.NickDined on 9/12/2014Outstanding food, only complaint is our waitress pushed dessert SO hard that it became incredibly annoying. When we were welcomed and every time we got a refill she would push it. Then when we asked for the bill she basically said no you have to order dessert. I was really uncomfortable, we were stuffed and said many times we would pass. We had a nice seafood fondue and 2 huge entrees. It tasted like seafood I've had in Hawaii or Florida, amazingly fresh and well prepared. I'd recommend this place and go back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A wonderful surprise!ChinaDollDadDined on 9/12/2014Having never been to The Blu Crab Seafood House & Bar, we didn't know what to expect. Loved the food. Loved the service. Loved the atmosphere. We will be back.Special Features:

- blue crab bluesroudyDined on 8/25/2014Good service, fast, food is OK. Really dry tortillas, not much crab on quesadillas. If I were paying full price I would not consider it a great value. Key lime pie had strange texture, not so good.Special Features:

- Expected more...mfjoshuaDined on 8/10/2014For a restaurant above the mid-point on the price chain, the service and atmosphere were disappointing. The food was good but not good enough to make up for the service and ambiance shortcomings it would take to justify the pricing. The waitress was attentive enough but appeared disinterested and "going through the motions" even though it was virtually empty inside. It was quiet and clean but I'm not sure how I would classify the venue since nothing really stood out.Special Features:
- Pleasant ExperienceTroutlilyDined on 8/5/2014We were first-time visitors to Blu Crab. It was recommended by a neighbor and it seems to be a neighborhood favorite as the hostess recognized most of the people who entered. We ordered sea bass and baked warm-water lobster. The sea bass got rave reviews; the lobster was a bit overdone and rubbery but with good flavor. All of the side dishes were delicious and the dessert portions were large and tasty. We were fans on the half-price wine selections for that evening and got a great bottle of Chardonnay at a very reasonable cost. Really excellent, friendly service too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Well Hidden SurpriseSeriousFoodie42Dined on 7/21/2014I feel like TX doesn't have enough seafood restaurants so I am happy we found this place. The grilled salmon was excellent as well as the sea bass. The calamari appetizer was beautifully prepared and not rubbery. The vanilla mousse cheesecake I could have passed on. Wasn't worth the calories.Special Features:

- Good food and service. Noisy.MadrobDined on 7/11/2014The food and service were good; but the ambience did not measure up to the prices. Based upon the menu and prices; we reserved a table for our anniversary. There were no seats in the noisy main part of the restaurant. We ended up having to sit at a bar table in the back where it was quieter, but uncomfortable and not the least bit romantic. While the prices would lead you to believe that this may be a good restaurant for special dinners; it is not. It is an everyday restaurant with good food.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Friday night at The Blu CrabOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/27/2014We had made on online reservation at 7:00pm and arrived at 6:50pm. We were quickly seated in a booth. The room is open like many strip center restaurants or cafes with a bar down one wall. It's not a pretentious restaurant at all but the pricing seems to be just a tad. The wait person was prompt, friendly with a huge smile to make you feel welcomed. We ordered the crab claws as an appetizer and they were delicious. I had the grilled seafood medley with two sides which are not included. My wife had the fried oysters which were about as good as you can get anywhere. If they were not so unhealthy I'd have eaten two dozen. Over all it was not a bad evening and we will return again.Special Features:
- Great place !!!Great1Dined on 6/15/2014The best place to eat in Fort Worth , Texas !!! The food was soooo wonderful !!! I have been all over the world when I was in the US Army. This food was one of the best places I have ever been to. I will be going again and telling all my friends. The whole experience was simply fabulous !!! Thank you for a great experience !!!! LOVED IT SOOO MUCH !!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NOT great seafood-ProfessionalDinerVIPDined on 6/8/2014I don't understand the positive revlews for this place; it's pretty much a glorified sports bar, and the food is just okay. I'll be really surprised if this place makes it in this location.

- Hidden GemcelebrateverydayDined on 5/27/2014We try to avoid chains so picked this place out for the 28th wedding anniversary dinner & it was hit! Started with jumbo shrimp cocktail (8 large shrimp total--yum)! Followed that with soft taco & salad only to find out that the salads are HUGE & very tasty--did not want to leave a bite. Tacos were good/messy, presented very nicely. You would think after all of that, we'd be stuffed (oh yeah, and did I mention Lagunitas on tap? Or smooth frozen margaritas?) Well, no, we had to go ahead and order the bread pudding for dessert, reassuring ourselves that we'd only have a bite & take the rest home...famous last words. We devoured it all...all very tasty; wonderful hostess & waitress. Tastefully decorated. We'll be back!Special Features:
- I would come again.bluecrabredoakDined on 5/23/2014I was recommended this restaurant buy a older gentleman at the Rangers game. I came from red oak Texas to try this place out. I love the atmosphere the food was straight alcoholic drinks were good. I would indeed come again and or recommend friends and family. I also put it on my social networkSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly recommended-dissappointingrubbermanDined on 5/23/2014The service was less than attentive. Noise level was extremely loud; concrete floors and no baffling of any sort. The food was ok, not exceptional as we had been led to believe. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. We may give it one more try, but not for awhile.

- mixed reviewOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/11/2014We were very pleased with the food...it was excellent. unfortunately our waitress was also the bar tender. Since she was doing double duty she was unable to provide much service. had to go up to the bar to get a glass of wine. we don't blame her but the management for not having enough servers. dining out should not only include excellent food but also excellent service. hope management gets this review and improve on the service aspect. food would be hard to improve on!!Special Features:
- D-lish!!!MollyxoxoDined on 5/10/2014My favorite restaurant in the area!! We eat there at least once a month. I've tried every chef creation and they are all super yummy!! My most fav is when they have prawn and grits on the specials menu. MmmmmmmmmmmmmmSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Blu Crab Seafoodladyvj01Dined on 5/10/2014First time here and I wasn't disappointed. I made reservations via open table from the website link. Surprising not crowded on a Saturday night, before Mother's Day. Service was friendly and attentive from our waitress, Melissa. Food / Drink was spot on! Overall, a very good experience and I would go back and or refer a friend or two or three about the location.Special Features:
- great server and good wingsgr8chefwalkerDined on 5/9/2014We had a great server that kinda made up for a coupke of rough spots along the way. The guy that delivered our food was so rude it was unbelievable. My fondue had HUGE chunks of red onion that killed the flavor of anything else in the dish. My shrimp werent fully cooked. My moms food came out cold and had to be sent back. Overall besides the food I would probably go back just because of the waitress.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not a place to return toOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 5/4/2014The ambience is poor for seafood place and the service is mediocre, food is nothing to write home about. I hate to say I would not return
- Great PatioDFWFoodieVIPDined on 5/3/2014My husband and I had dinner here and sat out on the patio. The restaurant has a very cool layout and a lot of seafood choices on the menu. We had the seafood fondue as an appetizer and it was delicious! For dinner we had some of the tacos and they were okay but I probably wouldn't order them again. Overall food and service was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding Seafood and ServiceNFTWSeafoodLoverDined on 5/2/2014The Seafood was phenomenal, the service fantastic. Our order was presented in Michelin style format, the presentation was fantastic, the portions perfect. All at an affordable cost!

Latins prefer Microsoft to Google
It seems that Google magic doesn't work quite as well in the rest of the world. At least, not yet. Earlier this month, internet research firm comScore released a new study that put Google a few steps behind the competition in Asia-Pacific, and now it says that Larry, Serg, and the gang are also trailing in Latin America. …
Geographically changed skeptics
"comScore has no explanation for the popularity of France Telecom, but we think it has something to do with the company's recent launch of its Orange mobile and internet service provider south of the Pyrenees."
I have quite a few Spanish friends that get hacked off when they are in the US and when they identify where they are from, people screw up thier faces trying to place the country somewhere between Bolivia and Guatemala. That's besides the fact that if they speak with an accent, people think they are Mexican.
I think you might find that either comScore are muppets as they have included Spain in the 'Latin American' market or the launch of Orange in Spain (which to your credit you identified with correct geographical info) will not have done much for South and Central American traffic.
88 per cent of Latin America's mostly-Spanish-speaking internet population, Google 87 per cent, and Yahoo! a mere 65 per cent.
thats more than a hundred percent, and I've just finished half a bottle of vodka, sorry programming juice.
stop this now, your trying to confuse me.......
Not sure where you're coming from
Simon, I'm not sure about your comment about muppets.
"comScore's list of the region's top ten destinations also includes two European ISPs"
They are in no way saying that Spain is part of Latin America. What they said is that one of the popular "destinations" for Latin American users happens to be a Spanish ISP.
Mexicans are NOT Latins, do some research idiot writer.
Historical references to Latins, i.e. Italian natives and Italy's possessions which were latin speaking and those from counties colonized by Latin SPEAKING peoples (Italians and Portaguese), i.e. Latin America which was SOUTH AMERICA and NOT Central America, Cuba, Puerto Rico, etc and ESPECIALLY NOT Mexico!
Mexicans and those that are Spanish decendents or mixed are HISPANICS! As in Hispania (Spain)!! Those that are NOT Hispanic are Central America INDIANS!
The Mexicans have tried to bastardize the meaning of being Latin in an effort to soften their image in the media and slip in the US in the guise of another legitmate ethinc group.
I am 75% Italian, therefore Latin - Mexicans are NOT! Get it straight!
Dillon, get with the show
The article said, "comScore has no explanation for the popularity of France Telecom, but we think it has something to do with the company's recent launch of its Orange mobile and internet service provider south of the Pyrenees."
I was taking the piss. Either the reporter was asleep at the keyboard or comScore did something equally stupid and put Spain figures in their LatAm analysis. Either way there is a touch of the Henson knocking around (viz your question about muppets). Clear (or still slightly muddy)?
For the Phreaky Phuckwit
And for Webster Phreaky:
Sorry, you will find that most people regard Latin America to be the part of the Americas where Latinate (or Romance as they are also known as) languages are spoken. In case you were not paying attention, this is the bit below the US on the map (you know, the leeetle countries where the CIA has been overthrowing elected governments and otherwise intefering until it got distracted by the Middle East). Don't believe me, go find Latin America on a map or look up a definition.
Although you may be 75% Italian, you show 100% ignorance of the fact that Latin gave birth to a bunch of languages; including (just in case you can't work this out for yourself), Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and French.
Felicitas in inscitia.
The designation 'Latin' is more to do with the roots of the launguage people speak that your irrational - and frankly fascist - comments about Mexicans. Que te chupan tu madre, pendejo...
@Webster (sic)
1) Are you stupid?
2) What on the warming Earth is Portaguese? I myself am a native speaker of a language called Portuguese, and it's much closer to Spanish than to Italian, by the way. Anyway, all of them are derived from Latin, as are Romanian, Occitan, Catalan, French, Provençal, Romansh and a bunch of other ones. So by your own definition I guess all these people are Latinos just like you, eh?
3) Sorry to break it on your ignorant self, but South America was colonized mostly by Spain. Italy did not colonize anything there (although quite a few Italian immigrants, including half of my ancestors, did move there looking for better life conditions -- but that's far from "colonizing", unless you do think the Chinese colonized America).
4) From the way you write/spell, could you get a less appropriate nickname to register on El Reg at all?
about the ISPs
in Brazil, terra.com.br is a very popular portal... perhaps it's actually hosted by the parent company in Europe? (though that would be a huge waste of bandwidth). Or the "location" is based on ownership of the domain.
could be the France Telecom is a major owner/operator of ISPs in South America and something similar is going on there.
And BTW South America is about 50/50 Portuguese/Spanish by population... the Portuguese just ran their bit as one giant colony.
"doesn't add up to 100%" Nor will it ever - just shows any single person may use several search engines on one computer, hence, I mostly use Google but sometimes Yahoo or Ask... Gotta be careful with doing simple arithmetic on percentages.
Also: Microsoft 88 per cent, Google 87 per cent, and Yahoo! 65 per cent. MS comes shipped as the default on most PC's as it's part of the ubiquitous Windows OS. To Google or Yahoo! requires conscious effort on the part of the user. So that 87 per cent is pretty remarkable (and 1 per cent behind the leader is hardly trailing...)
Latin American == Romance countries
Ah Webster Phreaky ... are you feeling a bit NAZI today??
While there is a dispute about Latin America, it is as a term *itself*, not because we are not a former Italian colony. In fact, there were NO italian colonies at all!!! Even if I included Portugal in that, according to you, "Brasil" would be the only Latin American country. Check your facts, dude!
The only dispute I have seen is about being called Latin America or Iberoamerican, because almost all the area was exclusively Spanish or Portugese colonies... except there were some French ones too. And Malvinas/Falklands (whoops, thats another can of worms, but I'm not Argentinian anyway ;)
Anyway, let me extend this rant on saying that while Google, Yahoo and Micro$oft portals correctly discern Latin America from the Spain dudes, some other sites default Spanish-speaking to Spain. And I HATE how they talk! They translate everything, even IT terms!!! (Imagine my face when I read about "walkers" (encaminadores) instead of "routers"...). Please, Spanish speakers != Spain. We fought them off 196 years ago!
Politically incorrect
I just thought that I would further wind up Webster Phreaky by repeating an old latin american joke:
An Argentinian is an Italian who speaks Spanish and thinks he is English.

Is anybody from Charlotte NC?
- n
- Nugentrocks Dec 5, 2010 09:27 AM
If so ,where do you go out to eat? Any nice steak places here?
Charlotte has many, many excellent restaurants.. You might want to do a search and get some ideas, or post more details about exactly what type of food you are looking for, where in Charlotte, etc. Charlotte also has a lot of steakhouses, none of which I have any experience with. They include Beef and Bottle, Morton's, Del Frisco, Ruth's Chris and BLT Steak.
I apologize for the rudeness of some of the other posters.
Beef and Bottle Restaurant
4538 South Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28209
re: jla1960
That's quite alright jla. i didn't know there were so many comediens in Charlotte. Great ideas , thanks'
re: jla1960
I did hear Morton's is a good place. Maybe I'll go by this weekend.
re: Nugentrocks
The Morton's in Charlotte is the same as the Morton's in Cleveland. But Beef and Bottle is a one of a kind experience. Give it a try!
Beef and Bottle Restaurant
4538 South Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28209
re: southernitalian
I sure will. Thanks'
re: southernitalian
Beef and Bottle is like a step back in time. Very much an old school steakhouse. The exterior leaves a bit to be desired but the food is good. It has been a long time since I have been but I seem to remember they are also known for their salad dressings.
Beef and Bottle Restaurant
4538 South Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28209
re: brentk
Love the salad dressings in those old school attached metal bowls!
re: mljones99
Comparing BLT Steak to Beef and Bottle is a bit like comparing Brigitte Bardot to Bea Arthur.
Even if its Bea Arthur with good salad dressing and cool retro dressing crudites bowls.
B& B has a retro iceberg salad with good dressing and a Harris teeter quality steak. BLT Steak is a serious place with serious beef and they charge serious money. The best way to dine at BLT is as a guest.
Beef and Bottle Restaurant
4538 South Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28209
re: GodfatherofLunch
Who compared B 'n B to BLT?
I was underwhelmed by BLT Steak - but I'm not a big fan of hotel restaurants or the high end chain steak restaurant concept either. Nor do I care for an a la carte menu. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner there and dinner was the least favorite of all the menus. The prices are through the roof too. There are far better steaks in this city. I just assume go to Firebirds, 131 Main. But Beef & Bottle is a throwback, old school steakhouse - give it a try, OP.
131 Main
17830 Statesville Rd, Cornelius, NC 28031
re: lynnlato
I only ate there only once. It was for dinner and I was whelmed. The ribeye was a fine piece of beef, IMHO a cut above what is served in the other "high end" steak places which I do not care for. The Ribeye was magnificent. The prices are stupid high and yes as you said everything is ala carte. As I mentioned in my previous post the best way to dine here is as a guest.
At Beef and bottle the salad and the retro atmosphere were nice. At the Ranch House which was not mentioned yet the shrimp cocktail has the best cocktail sauce EVER and great blue cheese dressing, but the steaks at both did not do anything for me. For me and if I'm paying I have to agree with you on Firebirds a tasty steak and it doesn't break the bank.
Ranch House
986 Reepsville Rd, Lincolnton, NC 28092
1029 Kingold Blvd, Snow Hill, NC 28580
I've been to Ruth's Chris, Morton's, DelFrisco's, Chima (I'll consider it a steakhouse for this comparison) but so far the best steak I've had in Charlotte has been at Sullivan's on South Blvd.
All were as good as is to be expected due to the chain status and reputation, but for some reason I remember being surprised and enjoying the steak from Sullivan's more than the other chains. The other thing I remember about Sullivan's was that the service was atrocious (might have just been my server).
Beef & Bottle is next on my list, but I went once with the wife and she refused to go in after looking at the building. Since they're closed for lunch, I have to find a dinner buddy to try it out.
re: jp328x
I would say that you shouldn't judge Beef & Bottle by its appearance, but you pretty much get what you see. Its a steakhouse as they existed 40 years ago, and really the only local comparison you could make is the Ranch House, which is also frozen in time. I say this as a Charlotte native and a fan of both. I recommend trying them if you are nostalgic about ye olde steakhouses, or maybe you want a nice meal AND good service without caring about shiny surroundings. They're not as snooty as Sullivans and the like. I have to laugh when I feel pretension from a chain restaurant.
Ranch House
5614 Wilkinson Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28208
re: billyjack
I just went to Sullivan's and I haven't ever felt like any part of it is snooty. My family goes every year around the holidays and we've always been treated very well. This year we had two servers, a mother and daughter, who couldn't have been more helpful and sweet. I also go to Capital Grille a few times a year for work and have always found the waitstuff courteous and extremely professional. That all said, I'd take Beef and Bottle over either of them but my mother is too snooty to go there.

I think I've only even been twice, so maybe it was just the service at that time. Its been a couple of years.

BEAUTY CORNER — 08 October 2012
Chanel announced Brad Pitt as the new face of its iconic fragrance No. 5 back in May, a historic move, considering the French fashion house had never had a male as the face of its women's beauty products before. Five months later, teasers of the new campaign have been unveiled featuring a still of Brad with his face in the corner with him asking questions like 'Do you feel lucky?', "What's the mystery" and 'Are you going somewhere?"
A series of three 7 second videos have been released with promise of the full campaign on October 15th. I have to say, I a bit bummed that we don't see Brad's face but I'm going to trust Uncle Karl's judgement and wait for the full shebang.

I love this cologne. Interestingly enough, I purchased it after reading a review that indicated that the reviewer thought it smelled like Jelly Beans. Since I love sweeter smelling colognes, I had a feeling that I was going to love this one, and I was right. Although, it doesn't smell like Jelly Beans to me, it does smell like another cologne that I love, Ghost for men. The scent is more subtle than Ghost, which is a good thing as Ghost is intensely sweet. Ultraviolet is a soft, subtly sweet, yet masculine version of Ghost. I would say to give this a try. I received lots of compliments from it at the office and at home. This is definitely my #1 from now on.

The ultimate synthetic scent, but don't let that put you off. Truly difficult to describe as there is nothing remotely like it. Lasts a good few hours. Don't overspray. I have received compliments on this. However as it is so different I recommend that you try it first. Unique.

In brief, my current research work addresses the issues of sustainability based on computing networks, systems and algorithms.
- Information Networks and Computing Systems for Smart Grids, Smart Buildings and Smart Cities
Cities are expanding rapidly, which are consuming more energy and generating more wastes at an alarming rate. The critical issues of sustainability facing in today's society call for an emerging new breed of information networks that blend with electricity grid, buildings, and environments. We develop novel solutions for improving the efficiency of smart grids, buildings and environments, utilizing advanced information processing, sensing, and intelligent computing systems.
- Algorithms and Optimization for Applications of Sustainability
Our society is tackling new challenges of sustainability. For instance, how do we balance energy supplies and demands in the presence of future uncertainty? How do we allocate scarce resources effectively, despite the growing complexity? I explore the fundamental side of computer algorithms as applying to the critical problems of sustainability, such as designing appropriate mechanisms for energy allocation and sustainable society. We provide computationally effective approaches through optimizing the computational algorithms in the related management and decision-making processes.
- Embedded and Mobile Systems for Automobiles and Transportation
Modern transportation systems and automobiles are experiencing a tremendous transformation. Vehicles are evolving to be highly intelligent, computerized and network-enabled systems. Recently, there emerges an accelerating convergence of electronics, communications, and information processing technology in vehicles. Merging vehicles with advanced computing systems, we develop the next-generation intelligent vehicles and transportation systems based on innovative embedded and mobile system technology.

Primary methods:
Laser scanning #1, Capacitive probing #2, Digital imaging #3, Stress waves #4 #5, Ultrasonics #6, Ground penetrating Radar #7 #8, Microwave interferometry #9
NDT/NDE applications are becoming important parts of quality control and condition assessment in areas such as aerospace industry, energy and power generation, petrochemical industry, and metal production. Structural integrity is of great importance for maintaining the safety, reliability, and availability of roads, bridges, tunnels, and other civil structures. Many NDT techniques first introduced in the 1980s have been revised so as to meet the challenges faced by civil engineers in light of aging and deteriorating infrastructures. The latest trend in the civil NDT methods also focuses on technology that can be applied to large inspection regions where non-contact or remote inspection may be required.
This Virtual Special Issue of NDT&E International aims to provide the latest research and development on NDE of civil structures and materials, which would be valuable to assessment and maintenance for roads, bridges, and buildings. Most of these inspections involve field investigation on a real structure or measurements on a full-scale test site. The primary techniques used include laser scanning, capacitive probing, stress waves, ultrasonics, digital imaging, ground penetrating radars, and microwave interferometry. Validations have been presented in a broad sense, ranging from numerical modeling to a variety of comparable testing methods.
1. "Validation of mobile LiDAR surveying for measuring pavement layer thicknesses and volumes",
Volume 60, December 2013, Pages 70-76
Iván Puente, Mercedes Solla, Higinio González-Jorge, Pedro Arias
Puente et al. (2013) evaluated pavement layer thickness and volume on a newly constructed highway using a laser-based surveying system LiDAR. They also verified the layer thickness accuracy using a numerical model based on two 2-D longitudinal profiles acquired with a 2.3-GHz GPR antenna.
2. "Electromagnetic characterization of grouting materials of bridge post tensioned ducts for NDT using capacitive probe",
Volume 60, December 2013, Pages 110-120
T. Bore, D. Placko, F. Taillade, P. Sabouroux
Bore et al. (2013) reported the development of a coaxial transmission line to facilitate the characterization of a capacitive probe as a non-destructive evaluation technique of grouting materials in the post tensioned ducts of bridges.
3. "Dynamic characteristics of suspension bridge hanger cables using digital image processing",
Volume 59, October 2013, Pages 25-33
Sung-Wan Kim, Nam-Sik Kim
Kim and Kim (2013) also investigated the dynamic responses of bridge cables using two techniques. Digital imaging of the cables was analyzed using a motion-correction algorithm. The resulting modal frequencies were compared with those calculated using accelerometer-based methods.
4. "Experimental study for the evaluation of stress wave approaches on a group pile foundation",
Volume 47, April 2012, Pages 134-143
Yan-Hong Huang, Sheng-Huoo Ni
Huang and Ni (2012) investigated the relative performance of the sonic echo (SE), impulse response (IR), and parallel seismic (PS) tests using a field constructed pile foundation. They reported that the PS test was more consistent with regard to the length determination of the piles with a cap than those obtained using the SE and IR methods.
5 "An automatic impact-based delamination detection system for concrete bridge decks",
Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 120-127
Gang Zhang, Ronald S. Harichandran, Pradeep Ramuhalli
Zhang et al. (2012) proposed a new algorithm that reduced the noise in the sounding methods for delamination detection of concrete bridge deck. The algorithm was incorporated into an automatic impact-based delamination detection (AIDD) system for field applications.
6. "Monitoring and evaluation of self-healing in concrete using diffuse ultrasound",
Volume 57, July 2013, Pages 36-44.
Chi-Won In, R. Brett Holland, Jin-Yeon Kim, Kimberly E. Kurtis, Lawrence F. Kahn, Laurence J. Jacobs
In et al. (2013) investigated the progression of self-healing of cracked concrete using the diffuse ultrasound method. The rate of self-healing was modeled based on the experimental data of three concrete mixtures.
7. "Ground penetrating radar imaging of water leaks from buried pipes based on back-projection method",
Volume 47, April 2012, Pages 35-42
Sevket Demirci, Enes Yigit, Ismail H. Eskidemir, Caner Ozdemir
Demirci et al. (2011) formulated the back-projection algorithm for the synthetic aperture processing of 2-D GPR data. The resultant GPR images were further analyzed for the leakage detection of a water pipe buried beneath a shallow layer of earth using a wavelet-based technique.
8. "Development and validation for in situ asphalt mixture density prediction models",
Volume 44, Issue 4, July 2011, Pages 369-375
Zhen Leng, Imad L. Al-Qadi, Samer Lahouar
Leng et al. (2011) reported the model validation for in situ estimation of asphalt density. GPR data and cores were obtained and evaluated for five asphalt mixtures in a full-scale test site.
9. "Deflection measurement on vibrating stay cables by non-contact microwave interferometer",
Volume 43, Issue 3, April 2010, Pages 231-240
Carmelo Gentile
Gentile (2010) applied microwave interferometry to the dynamic measurements of bridge cables. The natural frequencies identified from radar data were in agreement with those obtained from conventional accelerators.
The quest will never end for searching effective NDT/NDE techniques for assessing the structure integrity of civil infrastructures. Sharing existing knowledge on NDT/NDE techniques and applications would almost certainly help engineering professionals better prepared for whatever challenges come next. It is hoped that comments and discussions coming from the readers regarding the selected articles will further stimulate the public awareness of the role of NDT/NDE.
There are of course many other NDT&E articles also exist that might have been included in this Virtual Special Issue. Perhaps at a later time, these and other articles can be considered for a future VSI on civil structure NDE.

How many of you here from the NW/PNW ?
- LotusRapper Nov 19, 2013 03:18 PM
By that I mean BC, WA, OR, ID ?
I'm in BC.
re: kaleokahu
I'm in Vancouver, and learned something this morning after your post, LR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_... I had no idea that Idaho is sometimes included in the NW?PNW. It's not included on the PNW board here, whereas interestingly, Alaska is.
re: grayelf
Yeah, weird innit ?
I think BC/Yukon got roped into PNW because they had to connect WA to AK somehow ;-)
Back in university geography (decades ago !!) I learned of the Cascadia Movement, which is a geog. subset (and culture) of the broader PNW:
re: grayelf
Hi, grayelf:
Yes, the catch-all residuum of PNW is both counterintuitive and lame, and as a consequence the board is moribund most of the time. My sense is that Bellingham gets >50% of the action, the San Juans and Bend get about 20%, while the rest of a truly VAST area struggle for any attention at all.
Used to be that the Mods strictly enforced these arbitrary and gerrymandered borders, so that locales within an hour's drive of Seattle were kapu. I even saw cases where posters were flagged for asking for places along the way between Seattle and Vancouver--the Mods wanted it posted only on one board (PNW) which got few if any replies.
Thankfully, it's better now, but IMO posters are better off posting on either BC or Seattle for all points in between, even though the destination is in neither balliwick.
re: kaleokahu
Yeah PNW board has been pretty quiet. And the irony that I prolly generate more posts on Bellingham and surrounds than the locals do !
'Tho I'm surprised how much traffic threads on Winthrop (had to look up where it is) generates.
re: kaleokahu
But previously Idaho and Alaska were in 'Elsewhere'. But that board was dominated by Hawaii.
Would be any better if 'Seattle' were changed to 'Puget Sound', and 'Portland' to 'Willamette Valley'?
One way or other, places with low population density are going to get lost. Who is going to represent them, either with questions ('any one tried the new bar/grill down the street?') or expertise ('help me with my itinerary of the best places in Republic?'). Who talks about Winthrop or Index? Residents or visitors from Seattle? Is Bellingham covered by locals, Seattleites, or Canadians seeking American bargains?
Who asks questions about Alaska - usually visitors from any part of the country. Who knows about the food scene in Alaska?
re: paulj
Hi, Paul: "Would be any better if 'Seattle' were changed to 'Puget Sound', and 'Portland' to 'Willamette Valley'?"
I think so. Or better yet, have a Western Washington board and one for Eastern Washington & Idaho.
I agree with you that low population density usually means an area is going to be a Sargasso Sea. But there are many quality places in in these areas that more urbanite Hounds seek out and have good knowledge about. The best local example is Willows Inn on Lummi Island, which draws patrons from the entire region, nation and internationally. Posting to ask questions about this place on PNW is pretty much futile.
My technically-uninformed opinion has always been to allow posting essentially the same post in multiple forums, and see who replies. The Mods *have* devised a way to reference posts that are moved to the "correct" board, but it might be better to just have a direct link.
Another idea would be to have an "At Large" or "On the Road" board, where posters could post *once* about suggestions for roadtrips, etc.
Still another possible(?)technical solution would be to keep the existing boundaries, yet allow users to choose to see combined threads, e.g., have the option to view PNW posts interleaved with Seattle and BC.
re: kaleokahu
sounds like a 'latest chowhound' but for a selective group of boards. My RSS reader lets me put several boards on one window, but doesn't give me the option of ordering the posts by time.
re: mr99203
So Spokane needs to be put in its own board along with northern Idaho. Boise and Ontario (OR) go into another, while SE Idaho goes with SLC. And Jackpot NV gets grouped with Twin Falls, ID (where most of the casino employees live).
re: bbqboy
I was being facetious when suggesting further fragmentation.
But the underlying issue for lightly populated areas is: how to get the attention of knowledgeable people who don't routinely follow that area?
Maybe it requires a different model than 'boards'.
Stackexchange has 'boards', but threads with in those can have multiple 'tags'.
I'm really surprised that ID isn't in the PNW board. Never looked. 'Course we're in Reno/Tahoe and Reno is on the SW board and Tahoe (50 miles away) is on the CA board. Sigh.

WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) - A wedding at West Point of two graduates will be the first at the storied military academy between two men.
Larry Choate III, class of 2009, will marry Daniel Lennox, class of 2007, on Saturday at the U.S. Military Academy's Cadet Chapel.
West Point hosted two same-sex weddings of women in late 2012, more than a year after New York legalized gay marriage. But this is the first time two men are being wed at West Point.
Choate said Friday that the landmark Gothic chapel is a special place and it's an honor to be wed there.
Both men are out of the military. Lennox, from Washington, D.C, is getting his master's degree in business administration at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Choate, from Seattle, works at the business school there.

President Barack Obama will be addressing school children across the nation on Tuesday. According to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, "The president will challenge students to work hard, set educational goals and take responsibility for their learning. He will also call for a shared responsibility and commitment on the part of students, parents and educators to ensure that every child in every school receives the best education possible, so they can compete in the global economy for good jobs and live rewarding and productive lives as American citizens."
A recent email from District 203 indicated that parents could contact the school if they wish their students to be exempted from the broadcast. Reportedly, Jefferson Junior High will not be showing the broadcast. Do you find it unusual that parents are being offered the chance to opt out from a broadcast by the president? Is this something every student should see, or is there a reason you wouldn't want your child to view the speech?

Daejeon, Republic of Korea, March 7, 2014 -- The movie Gravity won seven Oscar awards this year, one of which was for its outstanding 3D sound mixing, immersing viewers in the full experience of the troubled space expedition.
3D audio effects are generated by manipulating the sound produced by speakers, speaker-arrays, or headphones to place a virtual sound source at a desired location in 3D space such as behind, above, or below the listener's head.
Two professors from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST have recently published a book that explains two important technologies related to 3D sound effects: sound visualization and manipulation.
Professor Yang-Hann Kim, an eminent scholar in sound engineering, and Professor Jung-Woo Choi collaborated to write Sound Visualization and Manipulation (Wily 2013), which uniquely addresses the two most important problems in the field in a unified way.
The book introduces general concepts and theories and describes a number of techniques in sound visualization and manipulation, offering an interrelated approach to two very different topics: sound field visualization techniques based on microphone arrays and controlled sound field generation techniques using loudspeaker arrays.
The authors also display a solid understanding of the associated physical and mathematical concepts applied to solve the visualization and manipulation problems and provide extensive examples demonstrating the benefits and drawbacks of various applications, including beamforming and acoustic holography technology.
The book will be an excellent reference for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in acoustic engineering, as well as in audio and noise control system development.
