We have lots of opportunities to practice at the Shambhala Center, but we may not connect with each other as much as we'd like. Being part of a practice community is about more than taking our seats in the shrine room. At community-wide Shambhala celebrations we're reminded that visiting together energizes our individual practice and strengthens our sense of Sangha. In classes and workshops, we find that studying together deepens our practice and opens us up to our lives. So it makes sense to create a regular opportunity to gather as a whole community to practice, socialize and have dharma discussion.
Our bi-monthly Sunday Morning Community Practice now includes a more concentrated group meditation time, a social time with refreshments, and interactive dharma study
9:30 - 10:15 AM : Initial Group Meditation Instruction (in the Auxilary Shrine Room)
9:30 – 11:00 AM : Community Meditation with Maitri Bhavana (in Main Shrine Room)
10:15 to 11:00 AM: Follow-Up Individual Meditation Instruction Available (in the Auxilary Shrine Room)
11:00 – 11:30 AM : Teachings and Discussion (Main Shrine Room)

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Nine girls and one boy all delivered at the Women's Pavilion for Birthing.
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (August 27, 2010) - Number 10 was the charm for Doreen Sheridan and her husband Brian, whose 10th baby was both at Hudson Valley Hospital Center on Thursday night.
At 6 pounds and 14 ounces and 20 inches, Sara Cynthia was born around 9 p.m. August 26. She joined siblings Samantha, 18, Julia, 16, Sean, 15, Nora, 13, Delia, 11, Kiera, 9, Emma, 6, Catriona, 4 and Ella 2 - all born at Hudson Valley Hospital Center.
Coincidentally, Sara's weight and measurement at birth were exactly the same as her mom's. And Doreen Sheridan was also born at Peekskill Hospital, now Hudson Valley Hospital Center, 41 years ago.
The Sheridan's live in LaGrangeville in Dutchess County, but Doreen grew up in Buchanan. Doreen said she has chosen to have all her children at the Women's Pavilion because of the warm atmosphere and because it is close to her parents who still live in Buchanan.
Will there be an 11th Sheridan? Mom and Dad say no. But the grandparents say they would not be surprised, especially with the eldest, Samantha, leaving for college next week.
The Women's Pavilion for Birthing offers families a great safe alternative to home delivery.
Five private labor and delivery rooms offer a cheerful and home-like environment and are equipped with all the latest technology for the birthing experience. Each has its own private whirlpool tub. A snack lounge is available close by for quick refreshment.
There are 13 private post-partum rooms which are luxuriously decorated and designed for maximum comfort with many amenities such as a private marble tile bath, cozy quilt, a DVD player and refrigerator. Dads are welcome to stay overnight, and rooming-in with baby is mom and dad's choice. A continental breakfast is served every morning and snacks are provided in the evening.
The Women's Pavilion offers a relaxed atmosphere and alternative delivery options such as the ability to have family members present at the birth and the use of midwives. But if any complications should arise HVHC has a NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), Level 2 nursery that can care for premature or seriously ill babies.
About 1,000 babies are delivered each year at HVHC.

New London — Police arrested Tuesday a New London man who they say urinated on a marked police cruiser that was parked at police headquarters at 5 Gov. Winthrop Boulevard.
Police said that Mark Bass, 29, of 31 Starr St., who was visibly intoxicated, was also in possession of a fully loaded .40 caliber Glock semi-automatic handgun. Bass had a valid pistol permit, police said.
At about 10:13 p.m., an off-duty female officer arrived at work and saw Bass, with his genitals fully exposed, urinating on the cruiser. The officer stepped inside to notify the shift commander and get assistance.
When the officers returned to the parking lot, Bass was on the ground, partially underneath the police vehicle.
Police said Bass was extremely intoxicated and was not compliant with officers. Officers patted him down and discovered the handgun.
Bass had a small cut on his forehead but was unable to tell officers how he was injured, police said.
Bass was arrested and charged with carrying a loaded firearm while under the influence of alcohol and second-degree breach of peace. He was released on a $2,500 bond.

Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter, who succumbed to brain cancer Thursday at the age of 57, earned plenty of respect from teammates and coaches during his 19 seasons in the big leagues.The 11-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove recipient put together his best seasons in Montreal and New York. He helped lead the Mets to a World Series title in 1986. Carter's passing sparked emotional reaction from former and current players, coaches and others associated with the sport, all of whom spoke highly of the catcher's passion on the field and compassion off of it. "Gary Carter played for me with so much respect and enthusiasm for the game he loved. He was a Hall of Famer as a player and as a man. On behalf of the entire Dodger organization, we love him and will miss him."
-- Dodgers special advisor to the chairman Tommy Lasorda, who managed Carter in 1991 "Driven by a remarkable enthusiasm for the game, Gary Carter became one of the elite catchers of all time. 'The Kid' was an 11-time All-Star and a durable, consistent slugger for the Montreal Expos and the New York Mets, and he ranks among the most beloved players in the history of both of those franchises. Like all baseball fans, I will always remember his leadership for the '86 Mets and his pivotal role in one of the greatest World Series ever played."
-- MLB Commissioner Bud Selig
"Learning of Gary's passing feels as if I just lost a family member. Gary and I grew up together in the game, and during our time with the Expos, we were as close as brothers, if not closer. Gary was a champion. He was a 'gamer' in every sense of the word -- on the field and in life. He made everyone around him better, and he made me a better pitcher. His contributions to the game, both in Montreal and New York, are legendary and will likely never be duplicated."
-- Steve Rogers, former teammate and current MLB Players Association special assistant
-- Mets Chairman and CEO Fred Wilpon, club president Saul Katz and COO Jeff Wilpon "Today, the world of baseball lost a Hall of Famer, and I have lost a treasured friend. Anyone lucky enough to have been part of Gary Carter's world will agree ... nobody loved life in a bigger way than Gary. He seized every opportunity to savor what mattered most to him: his close-knit, loving family; meaningful, enduring friendships; an unbridled passion for baseball; and the fulfillment he felt from making a difference in his community. Gary's brave battle has ended, but his from-the-gut laughter will be heard and his vitality and spirit will be felt forever. I loved him very much, and I know he is finally at peace."
-- Davey Johnson, Mets manager from 1984-90, now manager of the Nationals
"It's a sad day for baseball fans. It's a terrible tragedy that the tumors struck him at a very young age. He put up a valiant battle, as we all figured he would. He truly is in a better place now; all the suffering is over with, and I know the family is at peace with what has happened. ... He was full of life, on the field and off the field. He was totally engaged with teammates, fans, media, family. Gary was an exciting guy to be around, because there was never a dull moment with 'The Kid.'"
-- Marlins radio voice Dave Van Horne, the longtime voice of the Expos
-- Former Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden "He was like a big brother to me. I always went to him for advice. No matter what time of day it was, he always had time for you."
-- Former Mets infielder Wally Backman "When you think of the great baseball field generals, you think Gary Carter. He ran the game from behind the plate with strong leadership and passion. The Kid's contribution to our national pastime is big, but his heart was even bigger. We'll always remember his caring way, ever-present smile and strong devotion to family, community and the Baseball Hall of Fame."
-- Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson "No one loved the game of baseball more than Gary Carter. No one enjoyed playing the game of baseball more than Gary Carter. He wore his heart on his sleeve every inning he played. He gave you 110 percent and played the most grueling position on the field and that was something special."
-- Former Mets pitcher Tom Seaver "The one thing I remember about Gary was his smile. He loved life and loved to play the game of baseball."
-- Former Mets outfielder Mookie Wilson "Gary was a take-charge type of player who was respected by those who played against him as well as his teammates. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends as they grieve over this tremendous loss."
-- Rangers club president and Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan
"The one thing Gary stressed to us was team. He said individual goals were meaningless. He said the name on the front of the uniform was more important than the name on the back. That's what I'll take from my two years with him."
--Mets pitcher Jonathon Niese
"He showed me, through simple friendship, what self confidence, loving your job and caring about people could mean. Nothing he did in baseball was for show, but his life and his passion for baseball were a show. Carter was one of my main influences and why I will always stay near the game."
-- Richard Griffin, former head of PR for the Expos, now a columnist for the Toronto Star

Reid. Bieber's debut single, "One Time", was released in 2009 and peaked in the top twenty in Canada and charted in the top thirty in several international markets. His debut album, the seven-track EP My World, followed in November 2009, and was soon certified platinum in the United States. He became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut album chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

CNHI News Service
— Compared with, say, the practices of ancient Rome, the penalties for failure of character or performance on today's athletic fields could be considered rather mild.
But even for those who care little about baseball, the saga of hatred and bile in the matter of one Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez is akin to being unable to turn away from gazing at the effects of a serious automobile accident.
Mr. Rodriguez — better known to his sport's aficionados as Alex or A-Rod — is a cheater. Blessed with an uncommon ability to hit a baseball with authority, he has acquired Croesus-like wealth, an abundance of female companionship and the odium of vast numbers of fans who yell mean things at him while he practices his profession.
The Romans knew a thing or two about sports, such as they were way back then. Some gladiators who fought in the Colosseum were idolized, but their lives were quite often short and brutally brought to an end in an arena where a turn of the thumb from the audience and ultimately the emperor meant the difference between life and death for a defeated gladiator.
All this disgusted early Christian writer Tertullian (c. 160 – c. 225 AD), whose words about Colosseum onlookers could easily apply to today's sports fans, including those in Boston on Sunday who cheered mightily when A-Rod was purposely hit in the ribs by a pitch traveling at more than 90 miles an hour.
"Next taunts or mutual abuse without any warrant of hate, and applause, unsupported by affection," Tertullian wrote. "…The perversity of it! They love whom they lower; they despise whom they approve; the art they glorify, the artist they disgrace."
When it comes to A-Rod, the artist has done a pretty good job of disgrace all by himself.
Most of the sports public's opprobrium stems from Rodriguez's use through the years of performance-enhancing drugs, sincerely lying about it, then just as sincerely confessing that he had made a mistake and will never, ever do it again … until the next time he is caught (to use the current patois) "juicing."
Rodriguez's employer is the New York Yankees, who still owe him $114 million on a 10-year, $275 million contract. Major League Baseball, which says it has an abundance of evidence that A-Rod was obtaining illegal performance-enhancing drugs from a Coral Gables, Fla., "anti-aging clinic," recently suspended him for 211 games, by far the harshest penalty of the steroid era.
Under the basic agreement between Major League Baseball and its players union, A-Rod has appealed his suspension and is allowed to play until an arbiter decides whether the penalty is fair. This appeared to rankle Boston Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster the other night.
Mr. Dempster has what's known as excellent control. That means when he throws a baseball, he generally knows within a margin of an inch or two where it's going to wind up. His first pitch to A-Rod almost hit him in the knees and sailed behind the hitter. The second and third pitches were inside, then on a 3-balls-and-no-strikes count, Dempster's fastball smashed into Rodriguez's ribs.
The umpire issued a warning that the next batter hit with a pitch would result in the pitcher and his manager being removed from the game. This prevented Yankees pitchers from retaliating by hitting a Red Sox hitter and rightfully infuriated New York manager Joe Girardi, who was thrown out of the game for arguing strenuously with the ump.
Days later, baseball fined Girardi $5,000. It fined Dempster only $2,500 and suspended him for a mere five games, which was OK with him and the Red Sox because starting pitchers play only once every five days. Tacitly, the league was informing its pitchers that it's OK to hit A-Rod with a pitch any time they want.
Rodriguez got a modicum of revenge later in the game by hitting a massive home run off Dempster that helped the Yankees win. But A-Rod is today a marked man — marked by more than the bruise on his ribs.
The situation has gotten way out of hand. Alex Rodriguez is a cheat and a scoundrel who despite his prodigious baseball accomplishments will need a ticket if he expects to get into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, but he's not Hitler or Stalin or Pol Pot.
Rodriguez is a human being who plays a game and who could get seriously hurt by a thrown ball or even by a crazed fan with a weapon. Old Tertullian was right. "The perversity of it!"

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced last week that women would be allowed to serve in combat, opening hundreds of thousands of jobs to female soldiers. Readers are wondering: Now that women can officially take to the battlefield alongside men, do they have to register for the Selective Service?
Not just yet. When President Jimmy Carter renewed the Selective Service in 1980 in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Congress decided not to require women to register, in part because women could not serve in combat. Legislators also feared public outrage over ordering women to sign up for a potential draft, a move that would have been unprecedented in U.S. history. (One of the most effective arguments against the Equal Rights Amendment of the 1970s was the possibility that it would force women into the draft and military combat.) A group of men sued the government over the decision, arguing that the move violated the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment and the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. Although the challengers won in a lower court, the Supreme Court ultimately sided with the government in a 6-3 vote.
Neither Congress nor the administration has announced plans to open the Selective Service to women since last week's historic announcement, but there's a good chance that could change in the near future. The Supreme Court's decision in 1981 was based largely on the exclusion of women from combat. If Congress doesn't open the draft database to women in the near future, the Supreme Court might force its hand, deciding that there's no legal basis for distinguishing between men and women anymore.
Long before America contemplated sending women into battle, Congress considered drafting them. During World War II, the military automatically discharged any member of the Army Nurse Corps who married, leading to a shortage of nurses. In 1945, the House passed the Nurses Selective Service Act, which would have required the registration of young women with nursing credentials. President Roosevelt pushed the idea in his State of the Union speech, but, with the war nearing its end, the Senate decided the historic move was no longer necessary.
Canada established its own National Selective Service Women's Division during World War II, although it wasn't equivalent to a draft. The agency was merely a resource to help match willing female workers with open industrial jobs in the country's growing cities.

Somebody needs to tell certain police unions that the "privacy-is-dead" reality applies to them as well as the rest of us.
Police departments, with the full support of their unionized workforces, have enthusiastically embraced technology that increases their surveillance powers by orders of magnitude – in many cases for good reason.
Most in the general public support it, as well. We want them to have all reasonable tools to prevent criminals, many of whom are also tech-savvy, from preying on the rest of us.
But now that surveillance technology is focusing on police – in part to make a department's operations more efficient, effective and safer, but also to monitor the performance and whereabouts of officers on the job – ironically enough, you start hearing words like "invasive" and "intrusive."
Most recently, that is the case in Boston. The department, as part of a new contract, is planning to have GPS tracking installed in cruisers, and also to install better video monitoring in stations to record how suspects are treated while in custody.
As one anonymous officer put it, while asserting that none of his colleagues supported it, "Who wants to be followed all over the place?"
Well, yeah. Do they think the rest of us enjoy it?
It is unnerving for office workers to know that their every move online can be tracked by their employers, or that video cameras may monitor the length of their bathroom breaks or how long they spend in the cafeteria. The same is true for many snowplow drivers, who know that management is tracking their vehicles to make sure they are doing their routes instead of sitting at the coffee shop.
Boston's school bus drivers walked off the job in a wildcat strike recently, in protest of GPS tracking in their vehicles.
But as management and even a few editorial pages have pointed out, Boston's police are just getting in step with a majority of departments around the country – nearly 70 percent, according to the Police Executive Research Forum. It is an irreversible tide because its advantages (that have nothing to do with invading cops' privacy) are too obvious and substantial to ignore.
It can make crime fighting more effective, by synching statistics on high-crime areas with the GPS devices. It can improve response times to incidents, since commanders will more easily be able to deploy the closest vehicle.
It can improve officer safety - an advantage that some officers acknowledge. One comment in an online police officer forum noted that, "It can mark your last known vehicle location or even tell dispatch where you are if 'it' hits the fan in the general vicinity of your unit and you can't get to your handheld."
As another put it, "You call for help, everyone can see where you are."
But, yes, there are clearly disciplinary components to it, as well.
GPS is used to make sure officers are patrolling in their assigned sectors. It tracks their speed: In Louisiana, an officer is in trouble following a recent high-speed crash in which a woman was injured. According to state police, the GPS in his cruiser had logged him speeding more than 700 times during the previous 10 months, sometimes out of his jurisdiction. Just before the crash, the GPS showed he had been doing 100 mph.
According to civil rights organizations like the ACLU of Massachusetts, this kind of monitoring goes too far. "Tracking someone's location as they go about their day-to-day life is incredibly invasive," the group said in a statement.
That is a (likely deliberate) distortion of what is going on. The surveillance occurs only during a crucial portion of their "day-to-day life" – their work shift. Once they are off duty, there is no GPS monitoring of their activities.
It may be invasive and it certainly is uncomfortable, but the reality is that employees don't have a claim to much privacy when they are being paid to work for someone else. Of course, people should not be visually monitored on a bathroom break, or have Human Resources listening in on every casual conversation with a coworker. But management has a right to expect that when you are working when you are paid to be working, not sending personal emails, spending time on social media sites, or taking a nap.
This is especially true of those on the public payroll, who are paid by taxpayers. Police work fewer days, get better pay and vastly better benefits than the average taxpayer who pays for their services. It is more than reasonable to expect that when they are on the clock, they are performing their duties as directed.
Most of the complaints are little more than juvenile whining. One officer claimed that he might get in trouble if he spent 45 minutes talking to a confidential informant in a dark alley. Is he suggesting than management won't approve of good police work? Or that he can't trust management not to leak the name of his source?
Conscientious officers should welcome the scrutiny. Among other things, it can protect them from false accusations.
Besides, as law enforcement people are so fond of saying to the rest of us: "If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about."

When you've released as many sailfish as Capt. Chris Sheeder, it's a wonder billfish still bite the hooks he baits.
This week, Casa Vieja Lodge's Sheeder hit a sailfish milestone that most of us can only daydream about.
Aboard the Rum Line, based out of Guatemala, he released his 20,000 sailfish. Yes, that's three zeroes behind that twenty.
Sheeder is one of three captains to have reached this record in sport fishing, and he's the youngest captain to do it.
"We know there will be many more to come," commented Jim Turner, Casa Vieja's proprietor.
Chris grew up fishing out of Honolulu, Hawaii and has fished and guided some of the world's top anglers to record fish throughout legendary waters such as Midway, Costa Rica, the Canary Islands and Guatemala.
For the past 12 years, Capt. Sheeder has called the Pacific Coast of Guatemala his home. "It's a true testament to this unbelievable fishery here in Guatemala. There's no other place in the world where you can expect to release an average of 15-plus billfish a day," says Sheeder.
Sheeder currently captains out of Casa Vieja Lodge in Guatemala. Casa Vieja Lodge is one of the world's premier sportfishing lodges in the Western Hemisphere.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – About a year ago, some guy named Manziel produced more buzz with something off the field than with anything he had done on it.
The man whose name the nation hadn't learned how to say yet (Man-Zyle? Man-zeel?) got a blurb from the Associated Press about an incident involving a scuffle and a fake ID. The illegal but not unusual acts of a 19-year-old kept the Texas A&M starting quarterback spot up in the air most of the summer before he eventually earned the gig.
While some saw a potential difference maker in the dual-threat QB, even those expectations were tempered by the size and speed upgrade he would find in his first SEC season.
Then he changed his surname to "Football" and won a Heisman trophy.
Johnny Manziel's season was an exceptional one. But it goes to show that, even in college football's best conference, new guys can make an immense, immediate impact.
Here are some of the 2013 newcomers in a position to contribute this fall:
The 5'11", 216-pound freshman could remind Gator fans of one of their great running backs from the past in more than name alone.
The 4-star recruit is the son of former Florida and NFL standout Fred Taylor. He showed he possessed his dad's speed and ankle-breaking elusiveness while racking up 2,423 yards rushing and 42 total TDs for Glades Day (FL) High School senior year.
As an early enrollee at Gainesville, Taylor has a chance to see the field a lot as the team replaces last year's top back, Mike Gillislee.
With the top four targets in the Volunteer passing game gone, the 6'3", 225-pound freshman could quickly move up the depth chart.
The Mallard Creek (NC) High School high school product scored 16 total TDs in five games before his season ended early with a torn labrum. His team utilized him as a running back as well, so North should not be shy about going over the middle for passes and taking hits.
The strong, speedy young playmaker may be one of the centerpieces in coach Butch Jones' offense for years to come.
With lead tailback Marcus Lattimore and backup Mike Davis gone, the field at running back is wide open for the 2013 Gamecocks.
Williams ran for 1,904 yards and 23 touchdowns as a senior at Imhotep Institute Charter (PA). The 6'1" 202-pound tailback has a compact running style – shoulders low, elbows in and no wasted movement.
He also shows a nice burst of speed once he reaches the second level. His physical technique is well-suited for the USC offense.
Listed at 6' and 196 pounds, the freshman from Newnan, GA, already has the size to compete at the college level.
The freshman may take advantage of enrolling early at Georgia and earn a starting spot on the defense by the first game of the year. If he does, opponents will learn they cannot go over the middle unless they want a brief but painful meeting with the hard-hitting safety.
Matthews could serve as one of the anchors in a young but talented secondary for the 2013 Dawgs.
It's unlikely anyone will wrestle away the title of SEC QBs' Worst Nightmare from South Carolina junior Jadeveon Clowney this season. However, Nkemdiche may be ready to fill that role by 2014.
As the No. 1 recruit out of high school last year, the 6'5", 265-pound freshman instantly made the Rebels' signing class one of the best in the country.
His mixture of speed and power should help him to contribute right away, and he has an excellent tutor on team strategy in his brother, Ole Miss linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche.
One of the Tigers' two top defensive line prospects (along with Carl Lawson), Adams will help solidify the middle of a defense that struggled a season ago.
The Vienna, GA, native showed he can get his 280-pound frame moving quickly off the line and past the guards in pursuit of the quarterback or running back. He should also be able to use his skills to improve the D-line against the run.
Coming in to a program with a completely revamped staff and strategy, Adams should have a shot to get in the rotation and showcase the talent that made him a top recruit.
The 6'6", 230-pounder is the latest in a line of "modern" tight ends who can do much more than block and catch the occasional pass.
Howard shows a good burst of speed and an elusiveness that gives an offense a lot of options in where they line him up. He will fit right in with an Alabama team that likes to abuse people five to 10 yards at a time in the short passing game.
With a veteran QB throwing him the ball, the freshman should have plenty of chances to show off his skills.
The Tigers are known for having big, strong, versatile defenders. Their sought-after freshman linebacker is no exception.
The 6'3", 225-pounder played both defensive end and quarterback at East Feliciana (LA) High School. He showed he could blow by defenders or track down ball carriers equally well.
Beckwith's athleticism could make him a regular on the field in 2013. With more focus and coaching on one side of the ball, he could develop into an elite weapon for his home-state quad.

The Ind is going monthly in print — and online daily big time.
August 8, 2012
Is it still a rumor if it's true? You may have heard by now about big changes at The Independent. On Aug. 15 we'll distribute the last weekly issue of this newspaper.
The Ind is going monthly in print — and online daily big time.
August 8, 2012
|The Ind Monthly will offer everything you've come to expect from this feisty little pub — the investigative reporting, the hard news and political analysis, the arts and culture coverage; the best, most irreverent writing in local journalism and the relentlessly local reporting you rely on to stay attuned to our community.
Is it still a rumor if it's true? You may have heard by now about big changes at The Independent. On Aug. 15 we'll distribute the last weekly issue of this newspaper. On Sept. 6 we'll debut both The Ind Monthly and our new presence online.
Although 2011 was the best ever in our nine-year history, this wasn't a hard decision. Far from it. Transitioning to a monthly is something we began tossing around a few years ago — an idea that seemed, at the time, several years away. We dropped "Weekly" from our name more than a year ago because we've long known that our future — the future of our industry, in fact — has digital written all over it. And we knew there would come a time when our online readership surpassed its print counterpart. That time came sooner than expected as the rise of smart phones and tablets accelerated the way information is consumed, and the gap between our digital and paper identities has widened considerably since. Today, while our print readership remains as strong as ever, our online readership now consistently exceeds print consumption by up to 150 percent. So we're making the move. It's not a baby step — it's a plunge into the deep end. We're doing a cannonball into a future that is now. Step away from the computer if you don't want to get wet.
What to expect for our readers in print: The Ind Monthly will offer everything you've come to expect from this feisty little pub — the investigative reporting, the hard news and political analysis, the arts and culture coverage; the best, most irreverent writing in local journalism and the relentlessly local reporting you rely on to stay attuned to our community. But we'll offer a lot more, too: revamped culinary coverage for the foodie tribe; eye-popping photography features; fashion, home design and nightlife; technology; sports and recreation — everything that makes Lafayette the vibrant, plugged-in community it is.
We'll also be adding dozens more rack locations in boutiques and restaurants.
You're welcome.
For our online readers: This transition isn't just about beefing up our print coverage and changing our rack frequency. Hardly. This is, after all, about the digital now.
|This transition isn't just about beefing up our print coverage and changing our rack frequency. Hardly. This is, after all, about the digital now.
Expect TheInd.com to become, more than ever, you're daily source for reporting on local and state news, political analysis, arts/entertainment coverage. We'll break the big stories online rather than hold them for print. We're expanding our zones — currently devoted to news, business, A&E and food — to include style, fashion and family.
More blogs. More coverage. More Ind.
News, culture, commentary: It's what you've come to depend on us for, and that's what you'll continue to get, only deeper and fresher than ever before. We like to think of it as the beginning of The Ind. The new Ind. Online and in print. We hope you'll agree.

The LPSB will finally hear from the attorney it hired to investigate the superintendent at a special meeting Thursday at 4 p.m.

SEP 2 North Carolina's film tax incentive is about to expire, and Louisiana is getting the first benefit, this story on the Wilmington NC newspaper's website tells us. 'Banshee,' a Cinemax series from the same guy who created 'True Blood,' is moving production to New Orleans, the story says.
SEP 2 The Washington Post calls Bobby Jindal on his latest effort to get his name in the national media. In this editorial, the newspaper says Jindal's Common Core lawsuits are just aimed at "burnishing his conservative credentials for a presidential run." The paper, of course, reminds its readers that Jindal was a staunch supporter of the curriculum back when he first brought it to Louisiana.
SEP 2 Huff Post takes a look at a project by a California university which mapped hate speech on Twitter. The project counted derogatory words for homosexuals, people of different races and people with disabilities, then used colors to show where the tweets using these words originated. Spoiler alert: We don't look too good.
SEP 2 Blogger Lamar White Jr. offers this commentary on Bobby Jindal's recent comments about the current US policy toward ISIS. Jindal's sudden, shrill interest in the subject can only be attributed to his desperate desire to be president, Lamar opines. All this begs the question: Do we really want someone in the White House who is willing to say anything to get what he wants?
SEP 2 St. Mary Parish homegirl Julie Hébert lets us in on the next step in her career in this blog post. The writer/director, who has worked on shows like ER, West Wing, Numb3rs and Third Watch, has teamed up with John Ridley, the Academy Award winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave, for a new ABC series that will be filmed in Austin.
SEP 2 Here's another round of crazy on the Scott Rogers shooting from the Advocate. The Baton Rouge television personality was killed last week by his son-in-law (and alleged sexual abuse victim) who then turned the gun on himself. The story gets worse and worse.
SEP 2 This post on Deadline Hollywood outlines the massive tax incentive package passed by the California legislature last week. As one California solon put it, the move is a response to years of seeing movie and TV work "cannibalized by states and other countries poaching tens of thousands of good California jobs." Hey -- is he talking about us?
SEP 2 This photo essay on the NOLA Femmes blog examines homelessness in New Orleans. There are pictures of familiar intersections which look very different during tourist events than they do no a normal day in the city, and an account of the issue since Katrina. The post makes a good point: When the city rousts homeless people the day before a tourist event but calls it a "health issue," the claim rings false, doesn't it?
AUG 29 Everyone who cares about Louisiana should take time to peruse this story about coastal loss from Bob Marshall of The Lens. It's not enough to call it a story; it's an interactive experience packed with data and amazing graphics, timelines, history, photos and excellent writing. Set aside some time, because you can't go through this one in a few minutes.
AUG 29 Huffington Post has a blog called Love Letters, which is grandly described as "an anthology of reflections on places the world over." This entry is from LSU Football Coach Les Miles, who, it appears, loves Baton Rouge. (Of course he does; he's a rich straight white man.) And certainly Baton Rouge loves him - unless he loses (ask Curley "Golden Flake" Hallman about that) or leaves (ask Nick Saban).
AUG 29 This story by WVLA tells us about a guy who got busted for speeding in Baton Rouge. Who cares? This guy took that infraction to new heights by going 129 miles per hour on Nicholson Drive. Poor fella - he probably has spent so much time sitting in Baton Rouge traffic he just had to cut lose.

Just an update on what I did this weekend.
I got the brake working, you were right Jim. Stepping on the brake pedal a few times helped to get the wheel to turn in both directions.
All I did with the brake was take it apart and cleaned up the discs and steel balls with scotch brite, sand paper and a little brake clean. I didn't
lubricate the balls or anything else. I wasn't sure if I should or what to use.
Now that I had the wheel spinning I moved on to look at the engine.
I unscrewed the plug at the bottom of the oil pan and only a small amount of water came out, the rest was oil.
I then pulled the valve cover (pic below)
With the valve cover off and the plug from the oil pan out I thought it might be good to try and flush it out a little with some
diesel so I did and some nasty looking stuff came out. I then filled it with some 10w30 oil with the valve cover off to get some oil on the valves and shaft assembly.
With the spark plugs out and some more mystery oil in the cylinders I decided to see if I could put it in gear and get it to turn over with the wheel still being blocked up.
And with much relief all cylinders turned. I'm glad its not seized.
One thing I noticed while I had the valve cover off is that some of the valve lifter rods are bent and not lined up. Another pic
So how do the valve lifters attach and how hard is it to replace them?

In the week since he was indicted for abuse of power and public coercion, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and his supporters have insisted the charges against the Republican governor are politically motivated. Perry has pleaded not guilty, and he continues to visit early-primary states and talk with voters as he mulls a 2016 presidential run.

CHICAGO — Perhaps no American city appreciates being at the center of the universe more than Chicago. Workmanlike and down-to-earth the majority of their days, Chicagoans savor those moments when all roads lead to the prairieland. Even as we grapple with an international reputation for our inexcusable crime rate, we all breathed a sigh of relief when this summer's NATO summit, the first on U.S. soil outside the Beltway, showcased the city's international reach without ravaging the Loop. During this year's election night celebrations inside McCormick Place, the country's largest convention center, we were afforded another opportunity on the world stage.
On election night, hoping I might encounter some of the same crowd spillover that defined the camaraderie and openness of Obama's victory rally in Grant Park in 2008, I was confronted instead with the usual convention-center congestion: street closings, revolving doors spitting out those without tickets, road flares glowing in the crosswalks. Shut off from the monolithic superstructure housing all the fun, I wanted to rip the roof from its foundation and peer down at the spectacle within. While McCormick Place trended on Twitter worldwide, I imagined distant onlookers pinpointing the exact spot where I was standing on Google Earth, trying to get their bearings. And I was reminded of the power of "Powers of Ten," the 1977 experimental film that surveyed these grounds from above as never before.
Has Chicago, or any city, been captured as beautifully and precisely on film? Has a sequence spurred more awareness of the vastness of space than the now-classic "Powers of Ten" zoom? And would there even be a Google Earth to tinker with had this masterwork not poured from the minds of Charles and Ray Eames?
The film's premise is deceptively simple. For nine minutes, the narrator, physicist Philip Morrison, guides the viewer on a fantastic voyage that begins with an overhead shot of a couple lounging by the lake in a Chicago park, a spot close to Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears, and equidistant to McCormick Place and Grant Park. The camera then tracks back above the cityscape and up through the stratosphere, reaching back to the edge of the known universe. We then drop back down to Earth and reunite with the parkgoers. The persistent camera continues its descent, now plunging past dead skin cells in one of the picnicker's hands before isolating a single proton in the nucleus of a carbon atom, plugging away in a tiny blood vessel.

Is your router set to WPA/WPA2 mixed mode? If so try setting it to WPA2 only. We had an issue with our wireless whereby older android phones would not connect to it if it was set to mixed mode, it may be something similar...
Hi Greg- interesting idea, easy to try so I forced WPA2_PSK mode on the router. It has changed the situation slightly - now, the Linux machine will appear to connect to it (and stay connected) but when I try to do anything on the internet, it doesn't work (site not found).
Summary so far:
Unsecured networks: Works fine, including internet
WEP (128-bit): Works fine, including internet
-with the router set to mixed WPA/WPA2 mode, the Linux machine can not connect - behaviour is as though the passphrase is wrong (but it is not).
-with the the router forced to WPA2-PSK only, the Linux machine appears to connect successfully sometimes as though the passphrase is correct, but no internet communication is possible.
I'm going to try El Chapulin's suggestion of converting the key to raw hex and seeing if that makes a difference. I'll also post the latest results from dmesg later.

Current situation: Still the Ralink card
-OK on Unsecured including internet access
-OK on WEP including internet access
-With router forced to WPA-PSK2 only, the Linux machine appears to connect and stay connected, but no internet activity is possible (site not found, etc).
This was the case using the original plain-text passphrase, and is exactly the same if the hashed (converted to a hex string) version is entered instead. On a whim, I tried connecting with a deliberately wrong password. Then, the machine tried to connect for about 20 seconds, after which the "Wireless Network Authentication Required" Box popped up, inviting me to try again. So it does seem to know the difference between the right passphrase and the wrong passphrase.
With the right passphrase, it appears to connect to the network successfully, but still not to the internet.

If you're still using the ralink, this is a long shot, but verify that the firmware is being loaded:
$ dmesg | grep -i firmware
Ok, the result of that is: Nothing (no result at all).
However, if I go into 'Connection information' while the wireless connection is supposedly connected, I see the following information:
Auto (Network name)
Interface: 802.11 WiFi (wlan0)
Driver: RT2800pci
Speed: Highly variable, anywhere from single figures to 60-70MB or so - it changes every few seconds.
Security: WPA/WPA2
IP Address: 192.168.2.3 (The base IP of the router is 192.168.2.1)
So it gets as far as being assigned an IP address. If I look up the assigned ip addresses of two other (Windows) PCs connected to the network just now and ping them, I get an immediate response, for example
ping 192.168.2.4
PING 192.168.2.4 [192.168.2.4] 56 [84] bytes of data
Any thoughts?

Can't answer that just now because I unpacked the new, alternative wireless card (A TP-Link TL-WN851ND version 1.1), put it in and it really did just work, just like that, on WPA-PSK2.
Since it replaced the Ralink card which was wlan0, it became wlan0 when I fitted it and it just picked up the configuration originally set for the Ralink card to use. Pretty fast, as well.
At £11, I have to say it seems to have been well worth the outlay - the surprising thing is that this card is not advertised as Linux compatible - there isn't even any mention of Linux on the box, but it uses an Atheros chipset which is evidently decently supported by Linux. I only chose it because several people on a review site mentioned that it 'just worked' for them in Linux.
I'll look at the Primary / Secondary DNS ips under the working card, and then put the Ralink card back in to see what they are, or if they are there at all. It would still be nice to crack the last hurdle with the Ralink RT3060 card - it is relatively modern and sold as 'Linux compatible', so this is likely to arise again some time.
I may have to try compiling the driver supplied (in compile it yourself form) on the Edimax disc. The firmware-ralink package (even the version 0.35 one from backports) - still does not specifically mention the RT3060, although it mentions practically every other device in the range.

Very odd, if you do install the card again you could try:
$ dmesg | grep -i rt2800pci
It should have shown the driver requesting the firmware, even if the firmware was not found there should have been errors, but this can differ from one driver to the next.
SiriusHardware wrote:
Driver: RT2800pci
At least the correct driver was in use. and perhaps in this case nothing is good.
A DNS problem was also a possibility. But it's strange that the new wireless card assumed an alias of wlan0 and just worked on the same config. (it should have been wlan1)
SiriusHardware wrote:

I wouldn't pay any heed to that, as it simply means that the manufacturer provides drivers, it doesn't mean that the drivers are any good or up to date (or will be kept up to date).
Atheros was probably a good choice. I would stick with it and leave well enough alone. £0.02

I'll give that a shot when I do try the other card back in there. At the moment I'm just wallowing in the luxury of having a working Linux Wifi connection: But it annoys me that the other card has managed to defeat me thus far.

You see, that's one of those annoying little differences between Linux and Windows that I mentioned earlier... when the manufacturer says it's Windows compatible it usually really does mean it.
I would say there is a tendency for Linux users to have to stay maybe a year or two behind the hardware leading edge, because it takes a while (understandably) for the Linux community to come up with what the manufacturer supplied for Windows on hardware launch day. That's the biggest problem with my Ralink card: It's too new at the moment.
Where Linux does score (I now realise) is the way it continually, eventually, tries to support every item of hardware known to man - if there is an item of hardware anywhere in the world, there are probably a few hackers / enthusiasts who want it to work on Linux and may even manage to make it so eventually. It hasn't happened with my Ralink RT3060 based Edimax card yet, but who knows? In the meantime I'll put it back in the Windows machine it came out of.

Ah, that's your two pence worth?
I'm a hardware technician (electronics) by trade and I'm a strong believer in the maxim "If it isn't broken, don't fix it"... but I also hate faults which appear to be unfixable.
Anyway, thanks, you (and others) have been incredibly patient and helpful and I've learned quite a bit which will remain useful as I continue to forge bravely onwards into Linux-land, much appreciated.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (6/11/13) – Western Kentucky University civil engineering students competed in the National Student Steel Bridge Competition held May 31 to June 1 at the University of Washington.
The WKU steel bridge placed fourth in the nation for stiffness, fifth for display, 25th for structural efficiency and 37th overall. The display category refers to the appearance of the bridge, proportion, elegance and finish while structural efficiency is a measure of the cost of the structure.
WKU steel bridge student team members include: co-captains Clayton Cook of Owenton and Dylan Ward of Hartford; Joshua Clemmons, Michael Doyel and Omar Ramadan, all of Bowling Green; Joshua Rodgers of West Point; Yulizza Henao Barragan of Medellin, Colombia; Jordan Begley of Somerset; Jacob Martin of Shelbyville; Leonardo Calheiros of Sao Luis, Brazil; Luiz Pego of Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Liz Chang of Louisville.
"The students have raised the bar this year, designing and building a steel bridge that well represented WKU at the national competition," said team advisor Shane Palmquist, associate professor in the WKU Engineering Department. "The team is pleased with their accomplishments and plans to do better next year."
WKU qualified for the national competition after a third-place finish this spring in the regional competition. Approximately 3,000 civil engineering students from across the nation built 214 steel bridges and competed in regional events in hopes of qualifying for the 2013 national competition in Seattle.
The 2014 National Steel Bridge Competition will be held at the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio.
