SunPower offers energy monitoring as part of a solar system package for your home or business. To learn more, contact us today at 1-800-SUNPOWER (1-800-786-7693).

As an architect specializing in green building and construction, Rebecca Amato knew she wanted to install a solar energy system on her home. And when her family had the opportunity to do a large addition, she knew it was time.
Faced with limited roof space, which became even smaller due to property line issues, she knew high efficiency solar panels were a must. "We had limited roof space and SunPower was the most efficient panel. So for the size of our roof it was a perfect fit for us."
Besides the cost-savings, residential solar has come with some added benefits. "I love the bragging rights and feeling good about making an environmentally positive change. It's also great to say "I did it" to my clients and children."

" The efficiency of the panels and seeing how much we really did generate was probably the most surprising. It's pretty exciting to get an electrical bill every month and see a zero. "– Rebecca Amato, Homeowner

Amarillo, TX -- Our national security is at constant risk and more needs to be done to protect it, according to the President.
Just a few hours before the State of the Union Address, President Obama signed an executive order aimed at beefing up the nation's online security. The order calls for a nationalized framework to standardize cybersecurity measures and information-sharing between private and public entities. And while civil libertarians say privacy concerns could be an issue, the order stipulates that agencies incorporate privacy safeguards, which would be regularly reviewed.
Mr. Obama announced the order in his address Tuesday (Feb. 12th), saying, "We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy. And that's why earlier today I signed a new executive order that will strengthen our cyber defenses by increasing information sharing, and developing standards to protect our national security, our jobs, and our privacy."
In the last year, we've seen attacks on our nation's electrical grid, the FBI, and of course, banks, which are subject to constant attacks.
Representative Mac Thornberry is head of a Task Force created two years ago to find ways to strengthen cybersecurity, and he tells me the order is a huge step towards doing so, but legislation would carry more authority.
"The executive order is not enough," says Thornberry, "Congress still needs to act, and only when Congress acts will we really make progress on cybersecurity."
Critics have raised concerns about privacy and civil liberties, but the order mandates agencies provide safeguards against violations.
Critics of the power of executive order itself say it allows presidents to circumvent congressional approval. However, only two executive orders have ever been overturned by U.S. courts - Harry S. Truman's order to desegregate the armed forces in 1948, and Bill Clinton's 1995 order to prevent the federal government from contracting with organizations who had strike-breakers on the payroll.
If you'd like to see an overview of the order or read the latest cyberspace policy review from the White House, follow the links attached to this story.

I have my students keep a vocabulary workbook, in which they are required to add an average of one word per school day, of their choice, from reading materials or the media. It must be defined in English, with an example, and be dated, and I have them consecutively number the words, so that I don't have to count them. :)
I also reward them for using words orally that they have previously recorded in their vocabulary books.
This means that reading is the source for vocabulary growth, and lists with quizzes are never used. That method doesn't work.

The beautiful paint is compliment by a gold accented face and sole plate along with other accents. To compliment the styling is the technology of a state of the art Formula One race car.

The Gold Series will be the perfect choice for the golfer that is looking for the combination of luxurious styling in an ultra-high performance product.
The Williams FW32 hybrid highlights the advancement of Formula 1 design in aerodynamics and materials, elevating the performance of the FW32 hybrid to a new level. Three key aerodynamic aspects that manage airflow and reduce drag have been directly engineered into the shape.

-There are absolutely NO surprises.This property is superbly
decorated and is exactly the way it looks in the photos.The
description of this beautiful condominium is exactly what I offer
to each and every guest.
You won't be disappointed.
PLEASE NOTE:I OWN all of the Properties I have listed.

-Experience the interior designer decor and furnishings in this
superior 2 bedroom oceanfront condominium,on the 6th
What makes Ormond-By-The-Sea so popular among vacationer's is
that it offers a NO-DRIVE beach and that makes it so much
more enjoyable,peaceful and most importantly safer,especially if you
have children.There are no crowds on this very clean and pristine
All of the furniture and decor are elegant and nicely upscaled.The
bedding,couches and the window treatments are all custom made and
with beautiful fabrics in designer patterns and designs.
Not what you would normally see in a rental property,or even most
-Located in the beautiful Seawinds building with assigned underground
parking with additional parking in the front of the building.
Completely Wheelchair Accessible and the Seawinds offers elevator
service.The stair wells,common areas,the grounds and all walk-ways
are very well lit and maintained.
-There are ocean views from the master bedroom,dining room,living
room and kitchen.Intracoastal views from the second bedroom.
This unit offers 2 large bedrooms, 1 is a master suite with 2 full
baths with central air and heat.
-The building is key/code entry only.The security that this offers
makes it private for residents and guests,and best of all safe.There
are never any non-resident/non-guest foot traffic thru the
property.So if you are looking for a vacation thats quiet and
private, this property offers just that.
-We get many questions concerning the difference between
oceanfront,beachfront,waterfront & oceanview.
In Ormond-By-The-Sea the difference is OCEANFRONT,WATERFRONT &
BEACHFRONT are directly on the beach IN ORMOND BEACH.What is
separating the condo and the building from the ocean is the beach.
An OCEANVIEW property is separated from the ocean by a street[s].A
street is a part of your views. An Oceanview property is
Rates are generally lower for OCEANVIEW properties versus an
OCEANFRONT,BEACHFRONT or a WATERFRONT Property.
How this applies to Ormond Beach and Ormond By The Sea is any
property that is West of A1A is OCEANVIEW,any property EAST of A1A
is OCEANFRONT, WATERFRONT, & BEACHFRONT.
This applies to Ormond Beach AND Ormond-By-The-Sea.
We have seen properties offered as oceanfront,when in fact,they
are not on the beach and ocean and are truly oceanview.As much as an
oceanview property is advertised as oceanfront,please know there are
differences, especially if you are not familiar with the area and/or
you are looking for a specific type of vacation rental...There are
many more oceanview properties than oceanfront in Ormond-By-The-Sea
due to the limited amount of beachfront property available.We know
the differences as we own both types of properties.
If OCEANFRONT is what you are looking for,ask questions and know
what you are paying for so you won't be disappointed upon your
arrival for your long awaited vacation.
When I receive emails for a request of OCEANFRONT,I understand what
you are looking for.Your time is too important to have to figure out
the terminology that is sometimes used to advertise a property.
If you are looking to buy,there is a HUGE difference in the cost
between an OCEANFRONT [EAST OF A1A] and an OCEANVIEW property
[WEST OF A1A]which is obvious that there is a difference regarding
what is oceanfront and oceanview.
If you have any question,please feel free to e-mail or call us
-My Seawinds Properties are OCEANFRONT.
My Seabridge Property is OCEANVIEW.
-Please note: Our condominium AND the building,The VanLee,are
equipped with sprinkler, alarm systems and smoke detectors that meet
all safety and fire code requirements of Volusia County.

Roget's II: Thesaurus defines grandiosity as "boastful self-importance or display" and offers the words "ostentation," "pomposity" and "pretension" to further illustrate this definition. In short, it is an exaggerated sense of one's importance, power, knowledge or identity. It often has religious overtones. The term "grandiosity" is used to describe the larger-than-life feelings of superiority often experienced by those in a manic episode.
An Example of Grandiosity from our Community:
I am a reasonably good writer and poet ... I thought I was an amazingly talented poet and writer. I composed music, wrote songs, wrote poems, etc. I thought I could do ANYTHING.
I thought God was talking to me in visions. I felt I had a special connection to the universe. I thought maybe I was becoming a Buddha.

Employers Invited To Attend Newark's College Town Career Fair: Students From The City's Five Colleges To Attend
For the first time in the city's history, all five of Newark's colleges will host a collaborative career fair that will allow employers to meet a diversely talented pool of students from the five schools: The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Essex County College, Rutgers University-Newark, Rutgers University-School of Law-, Seton Hall Law School and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ).
The career fair, scheduled for Jan. 28 at The Robert Treat Hotel, Newark, will give employers a chance to interview students of varying degree levels and academic disciplines: architecture, business, engineering, information technology, law, the arts, social and behavioral science as well as natural and life sciences.
William Watley, chief executive officer and secretary of the New Jersey Commerce and Economic Growth Commission, will be the career fair's keynote speaker. During a lunchtime talk in the hotel's Crystal Room, Watley will discuss jobs and economic development in the state.
(NOTE: Reporters interested in attending the college town career fair, please contact Robert Florida at 973-596-5203.)
Nearly 50 companies have already registered to attend the career fair including nationally known concerns such as Prudential Financial, UPS and MBNA. Other firms interested in attending the career fair can visit an on-line registration site at www.newarkcollegetown.org or call Jane Gaertner, NJIT's associate director for employee relations at (973) 596-5617.
"The fair is an excellent example of the collaboration that exists among Newark's institutions of higher education," says Greg Mass, executive director of Career Services at NJIT."
"The fair also demonstrates," Mass adds, "how we consider the needs of business and our commitment to the business and economic development needs of the city and state. What is unique about this fair is that it brings together students from five schools and allows employers to recruit a broad range of candidates to fulfill their employment needs."
The City of Newark and the Regional Business Partnership, a nonprofit networking group based in the city, are sponsors of the career fair. Corporate sponsors of the fair include PSE&G and Prudential Financial.

Soon residents in Miami, Oklahoma will face court appearances for letting trash, grass and weeds get away from them thanks to a new city ordinance.
Starting July 1, Miami residents will be expected to keep up with their yards or face some pretty harsh realities. Some residents like William Tegethoff say the change from written notices to police citations is a welcome one.
"You want people who are coming in to visit, you know they don't want to see all that stuff that's a foot high and yards trashy and stuff like that," says Tegethoff.
Residents who receive the citation will be required to show up in court, resulting in a fine as low as $0 and as high as $750 per day, depending on the situation.
"We're not looking at pursuing ordinary folks with ordinary problems, we're talking about folks who simply won't take care of their responsibilities," says city attorney David Anderson.
According to the city those responsibilities include keeping grass and weeds in yards under one foot long and clear of excessive trash.
The city says the ordinance is based off of a wider state statue and that it will apply for homes, lots and businesses. In the case of rental property, it is the renter who will receive the citation.
Not everyone in Miami is pleased with the change.
"Grass - people do the best they can," says Miami resident Melissa Read. "Some people out there, they don't own lawn mowers, they can't afford to pay someone to mow their yard for them or nothing."
The city says discretion will be used and it's not the elderly or poor being targeted.
"People are concerned that it will be a police state mentality, that we're the 'lawn mower police' now, and that's not true," says Anderson.
Tegethoff says the old way proved ineffective and is excited to see the city push residents to take pride in their yards.

Why do I write so many columns poking fun at magazines? I have skewered Handyman magazine, Storage Solutions and Muscle Fitness, to name a few. This is because each month when I go to refill my cholesterol medicines at the pharmacy, I have to walk past the periodical display. I need a distraction, so I grab something off the shelf, plop down in the corner and read it cover to cover. This annoys the store manager, who tells me to get up off my fatty acids or I won't get my Lipitor.
This week I saw a cooking magazine that takes the cake. Actually, cake would have been healthier. The Food Network's newest offering is titled The Bacon Issue. Yes, it's an entire 300 pages devoted to bacon, a strategy to compensate for their relatively poor-selling Tofu/Kale issue. The cover story says you can find 108 amazing recipes inside, which, by the way, includes 27 really bizarre ones — like the chocolate bacon cupcakes on the cover. Also on the front is a photo of a lollipop made out of bacon, the perfect way to lure the little ones away from sugar, which we all know is so unhealthy.
Inside the magazine is a detachable tiny booklet that contains 50 recipes for bacon appetizers. Things like: bacon jam, bacon-wrapped bananas and bacon ice cream. You wedge this little brochure in your back pocket and if you are stuck at a party where the only hors d'oeuvre is a vegetable plate and yogurt dip, you can offer a subtle hint by leaving the brochure next to the broccoli before you split for the Rib Shack.
Dessert lovers need not shrink in despair. How about a giant BLT cake? It's not made with the traditional ingredients, but it does look like the classic sandwich. The bacon is fashioned out of tootsie rolls, the tomatoes are made of red gummy bears and the mayo is plain white frosting. Sliced angel food cake substitutes for the bread. Don't ask me about the lettuce. Trust me: do not ask me about the lettuce.

Ft Hood's Terror: The US Failed by Its Own Experts
January 23, 2010
The Pentagon's review of the act of
Terrorism committed at Fort Hood by Major Nidal Hasan deserves national
attention not only regarding its important conclusions but also what it missed
in terms of analysis. In this piece, I'll address major points made public in
the media and raise issues about the bigger picture regarding the terror threat
America is facing today.
Jihadi Penetration: Part of a War
As announced by Secretary of Defense Robert
Gates, the report "reveals serious 'shortcomings' in the military's ability to
stop foreign extremists from trying to use America's own soldiers against the
United States." The Pentagon's review of the Fort Hood massacre stated that
"serious shortcomings" were found in "the military's ability to stop foreign
extremists from trying to use its own soldiers against the United States." The
first question that comes to mind is to know if the issue is about
"shortcomings," as described by the Pentagon, or is it about "systemic failures"
as announced by President Obama in his evaluation of the Christmas Day terror
act? For as underlined by the Department of Defense in the case of Major Hasan,
these failures were about the military's ability to "stop foreign terrorists
from using American soldiers against the United States."
Such a statement is extremely important as it
finally informs the public that US personnel is indeed being infiltrated and
recruited by foreign Jihadists, which are described politically by the
Administration as "extremists." Hence, the first logical conclusion from that
finding is that Jihadi networks are performing acts of War (and thus of
Terrorism) against US defense assets and personnel in the homeland. Thus this
warrants the reevaluation of the conflict and re-upgrading it to a state of war,
even though it would still need to be determined "with whom."
Self Radicalization
Secretary Gates said "military supervisors are
not properly focused on the threat posed by self-radicalization and need to
better understand the behavioral warning signs." He added that "extremists are
changing their tactics in an attempt to hit the United States." Concluding that
the Fort Hood massacre "reveals shortcomings in the way the department is
prepared to defend against threats posed by external influences operating on
members of our military community," he said. "We have not done enough to adapt
to the evolving domestic internal security threat to American troops and
military facilities."
The bottom line of the Department of Defense
report is, as I relentlessly argued before and since Hasan's shootings, that the
US military and intelligence lack the capability of detecting radicalization,
should it be "self" developed or activated from overseas.
American analysts are not able to "detect"
radicalization from where it is generated. In my last three books and dozens of
briefings and testimonies to legislative and executive forums, I underlined the
crucial importance of identifying the ideology behind radicalization. For the
latter is produced by a set of ideas assembled in a doctrinal package.
Unfortunately the Bush and Obama Administrations were both poorly advised by
their experts. They were told, wrongly, that if they try to identify a
"doctrine" they will be meddling with a religion. Academic and cultural advisors
of the various US agencies and offices (the majority of them at least) failed
their government by triggering a fear of theological entanglement.
To the surprise of our Arab and Muslim allies in
the region, who know how to detect the Jihadist narrative, Washington disarmed
its own analysts when bureaucrats of the last two years banned the reference to
the very ideological indicators that could enable our analysts in detecting the
radicalization threat.
And it is not about "extreme religious views"
inasmuch as it is about an ideology. If Arabs and Muslims can identify it in the
Middle East, why can't Americans do this also? Simply because Jihadi propaganda
already penetrated our advising body and fooled many of our decision makers into
dropping the ideological parameters. Hence, stunningly, Major Hasan, who
amazingly displayed all the narrative of Jihadism, was not spotted as a
Jihadist. The report tried to blame his colleagues and other superiors for
failing to find him "suspicious enough" and thus for causing a shortcoming. I
disagree: what allowed Hasan to move undetected was a bureaucratic memo issued
under both Administrations and made into policy last summer, ordering the
members of the public service to not look at ideology or refer to words that can
detect it. We did it to ourselves.
The Strategic Threat Ahead
The report raises "serious questions" about
whether the military is prepared for similar attacks, particularly "multiple,
simultaneous incidents." In my book, Future Jihad: Terrorist Strategies
against America published half a decade ago, I sternly warned about the
strategic determination of Jihadists, al Qaeda and beyond, to target the US
homeland, not just in terms of terrorizing the public, but in the framework of a
chain of strikes widening gradually until it would evolve to coordinated,
simultaneous attacks.
In 2006-2007, I served on the then Task Force on
Future Terrorism of the Department of Homeland Security and developed an
analysis clearly showing the path to come. My briefings to several entities and
agencies in the Defense sector clearly argued that implanting, growing, and
triggering homegrown Jihadists to strike at US national security is at the heart
of the enemy's strategy. I even projected the existence of a "war room" that
directs these operations; Imam al Awlaki's example of multiple operatives'
coordination is only a small fragment of what it would be like.
In facing this mushrooming threat, not only do we
not have a detection capacity to counter it, but we have been induced in error
to adopt the opposite policies suitable to our national defense. The misleading
advice that the US Government relied on is deeply responsible for the failure to
counter, stop and reverse radicalization.
The report, although a step in the right
direction, has troubling shortcomings:
A. It claims "fixation on religion" is a missing
indicator. Meaning if Muslims insist on praying or Catholics refrain from eating
meat on Fridays during Lent this could be a lead to radicalization. Obviously it
is a dead end; for the indicator is the substance of the fixation, not the mere
fact of religiosity. One statement of commitment to Jihad is by far more
important than fasting during the whole month of Ramadan. It is not theology it
is ideology, even though many writers in town insist on merging both based on
their readings of text. I offer our government an easier way to detect the
threat, without venturing in inextricable religious debates or unnecessarily
apologizing for one or other particular faith.
B. The report describes Hasan as "an odd duck and
a loner who was passed along from office to office and job to job despite
professional failings that included missed or failed exams and physical fitness
requirements." Nice shot, but it leads nowhere. For the other potential Hasans
amongst us aren't all necessarily odd, failed students and physically unfit. The
next Jihadists could be sharp, are professionals and extremely social. It all
depends on what the "War Room" is going to surprise us with. Medical doctors in
Britain, rich young men from Nigeria or converted farmers from North Carolina
aren't all in one profile basket. So let's stop looking for framing "profiles"
and start detecting ideology.
C. The report calls on the Defense Department "to
fully staff those teams of investigators, analysts, linguists and others so the
Pentagon can quickly see information collected across government agencies about
potential links between troops and terrorist or extremist groups." This is a
long awaited initiative short of creating further catastrophes by staffing our
bureaucracies with more cultural advisors, who would mislead our leaders further
and worsen the already fledgling counter ideology sectors already in place. I am
making the bold statement that our problem is precisely that the expertise we
sought over the past eight years is the reason for our inability to detect
radicalization. Hence I would recommend an additional inquiry into our own
specialization body before we re-contract it to lead the war of ideas.
The beef is there. Everything else is dressing.

he's had some great black fighters over the years....but ali was a finished product that didn't need much marketing. same can be said for leonard. he guided floyd early in his career but imo did not promote floyd as well as he could have or half as much as he promoted dlh or pacquiao. is he just not in touch? or does he just not care? rigondeaux has displayed exceptional skill like we haven't seen in quite some time. this guy has some amazing accomplishments on his resume.
world unified champion in just 10 pro fights
2 time gold medalist
2 time pan am gold medalist
2 time world cup champion
had almost 400 fights as an amateur with only 12 losses and hasn't been defeated in 10yrs.
he just beat the fighter of the year '12 very convincingly and he's going to be a hard sell??? is arum serious? the opposition is out there for rigondeaux to stake his claim at greatness. we have an opportunity to see another truly great fighter accomplish great things.
fights i'd like to see that are very doable.
if he should move up...
gary russell
mickey garcia
those are just off the top of my head. in my mind....we just saw a megafight. the two very best in the division and rigondeaux proved he was a level above the fighter of the year. so now he has to suffer because arum is either incompetent or racist? bullshit!!! push this guy!!! don't punish him for his greatness. give the fans what they deserve and stop with the bullshit agendas.

broner would be making far less money and wouldn't be on televised bouts if he fought under arum. especially after the ponce de leon fight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Who doesn't make "far less" money while under the TR banner??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Arum would have Broner wear Jerhl Curl and walk the aisle with a boom box while flashing his EBT card, you know to get the black fan base.
Hell, Broner's pretty close to setting us black people back about another 30 years anyway, so what you described will probably just make him seem cool. But remember, he liiiive though!

Ok my new house was an estate sale and the place was let go for many years. My gravel driveway is 6" higher than my garage floor. Gee i wonder why they had water in the garage last spring when i looked at the house? My point is my 154 snow plow is done except for the hydra turn so i mounted it on my 154 and started changing the pitch of my gravel driveway. It worked great I dropped it at least 4" today. The rear wheels with the ladder chains(thanks to Ralph) and the wheel weights worked great, it never spun a tire it just pushed. I never got to try it in the snow because it won't fit in the garage with the plow on yet. I'm sure the way it pushes dirt it will surely push snow too. I may add another set of rear wheel weights by the fall and put on my front wheel weights too. I did take the 154 out in the snow to feed the deer on my property and had problems steering without enough weight on the front wheels i'm sure that front wheel weights will correct this. I'm very impressed with the performance of my 154 so far. It has a lot of yard work to do this summer too. I don't know if the spring thaw has something to do with it but its pushing dirt, gravel and rocks with no problem and the plow will dig down too.
BTW: This is my reworked jeep snow plow and i put vertical aggussets on the lower steel wear blade on the back to hold the 1/2" X 4" x 57" steel blade solid and they sit level with the blades lower wear edge. When backing up these aggussets act to dig up more while back plowing with the blade(backing up). Each aggusset acts like the rear earth plow you put on the back of your farmall cubs they break the soil as you back up that aids the leveling process a lot. I only put 6 on the back of the plow and i may add mopre too. I'm sure they would also break up ice when backing up too. I made each one level with the lower lip on the blade so it won't affect it when going forward but they work awesome when backing up there like little rippers and then the blade lip levels what they dig up.
I been thinking of welding on some 1"x6" bar stock on each back side of the blade verticle (on an angle) too. Then i can pitch the blade to the right and the left so i can control the side pitch for drainage. I can do a convex contour on my driveway using weight lifter weights on the 1" bar stock. I can add weight to one side so the plow will tilt to that side. The bulldozers have hydraulics to do this but i think the weights added to one side will do the samething.

LAWTON Okla_ While there's

Collector Pays $2.3M for $1,000 Bill
[img width=350 height=305]http://www.bismarcktribune.com/content/articles/2006/12/16/ap/strange/d8m1uh0g0.jpg[/img]
DALLAS - An art collector has paid about $2.3 million for a $1,000 bill printed in 1890, according to the auction house that brokered the transaction between two anonymous private collectors.
"This $1,000 bill is one of only two known of its type; the other surviving example is in the museum at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco," Greg Rohan, president of Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries, said Friday.
Rohan said that type of bank note is known to collectors as a "Grand Watermelon" because the green-striped zeros in the denomination "1,000" printed on the back of the bill look like the fruit.
"Only two Grand Watermelon examples are known with red-color Treasury Department seals printed on the front; the half-dozen other surviving Grand Watermelon notes have brown seals," he said in a news release.
The $2,255,000 price is more than double the previous record for an 1890 Grand Watermelon note. The previous record for any bank note was $2.1 million, according to the Heritage Auction Galleries.
Rohan said the buyer was "a very advanced and sophisticated East Coast collector of art and rare currency."

Early Spay/Neuter For Dogs
It is best to allow a dog to mature prior to spay/neuter. You want the growth plates to be closed prior to spay/neuter to prevent joint problems in the future. For the Labrador Retriever and dogs their size or larger it is best to neuter males at 18-24 months and spay females after their first heat cycle (if they cycle at 6 months than wait for the 18-24 months to be sure growth plates are closed).
Going thru a first heat cycle is not as difficult as people think. Dogs do not bleed like humans do during a cycle. Buy doggy diapers and human sanitary pads to help keep your floors clean. Usually the amount of bleeding is a drop on the floor the size of a pencil eraser.
I suggest you buy 2 pair of diapers because I guarantee there will come a time that you will take your girl out for a potty break and forget to take off the diaper and she will squat and pee in it. This way you have a back up. I also do not put my diapers in the dryer to prevent shrinking.
It is very important to keep the dog on leash at all times when outside, even in your own yard. This is for 4 weeks from the onset of bleeding or swelling of the vulva (most dogs swell first but some bleed first). Intact male dogs can smell a female in heat from miles away and will jump or dig under a fence and are capable of breeding thru a chain link fence. so never leave a female in heat unattended in your yard.
Here is a good article that explains the pros and cons of early spay/neuter.
Please don't let your vet push early spay/neuter for the health of your dog. This is also important for a female pup that has recessed vulva. See my blog on RV:

I'm experiencing a very strange situation after last software update I can receive SIP calls, but I can't make any.
I own 3 different accounts with 3 different providers but none is working.
I did install SIP_VoIP_3_1_Settings_S60_5_x_v1_0_en.sis and recently I did upgrade to 22.0.110 firmware on an N97.
The telephone language is set to Italian.
Also trying to write little software to make calls does not help.
Is there anybody that can help?
thank you beforehand.

"I'm proud of you fellas. You all kept your head on a swivel, and that's what you gotta do when you find yourself in a vicious cockfight."
-Ron Burgundy
In sixty minutes, both teams, on a total of 25 drives, combined for just one touchdown and one trip into the red zone. The Panthers scored that touchdown, and won the football game. Defensive struggle. Battle in the trenches. Sacks. Costly turnovers. America. Third down efficiency. Depth.
Following their trend, the Panthers were comparatively dominant on third down, converting 7/17 third downs while allowing the NIners a conversion rate of 2/13 on third down.
The Numbers
On the whole, Carolina called a fairly balanced game on offense, with the run-pass ratio standing at 29:35. However, the Panthers were fairly unbalanced in their personnel usage, with 11 personnel being primarily used to pass, and just about every other grouping, to run.
|29 (45%)
|15 (23%)
|11 (17%)
|5 (8%)
|2 (3%)
|1 (2%)
|1 (2%)
For the first time in a couple weeks Carolina ran a play out of 01 personnel, with WR Brandon Lafell initially aligned in the backfield before motioning into the slot. This caused San Fran to designate a LB to cover Lafell in man coverage. Additionally Coach Shula has called a couple of runs from 13 personnel over the last few weeks, usually in which the Panthers line up with an unbalanced line, Ben Hartsock at RT, and Jordan Gross at TE.

By and large, Carolina wanted to spread the 49ers defense out, with even some of their 12 and 21 personnel alignments spreading the field.
The read option, statistically, had a solid day; nine rushes for 65-yards. Breaking it down further, the Panthers made an attempt to establish the read option early on, with seven rushes in the first half, gaining 43-yards. But if you remove DeAngelo Williams' 27-yard touchdown run, which occurred late in the half, Carolina was left with six rushes for 16-yards. Most of the early read option plays called were simple outside zone reads, which the San Fran OLB's, namely Ahmad Brooks, were adept at stopping, muddling the read for Newton. Although, we did see Offensive Coordinator Shula mix it up, reaching back in the playbook for DeAngelo Williams' TD, which was the pseudo-counter triple option that we saw a lot of in Weeks 1 and 2, also being the play which Williams' fumbled inside the ten-yard line Week 1 versus Seattle. Furthermore, in the second half, Shula called the shovel pass option, not seen since Week 6 against Minnesota, which picked up a gain of 17-yards. Odds are that the 49ers didn't spend much, if any time, looking at these wrinkles in their film analysis.
In contrast to Carolina's strategy, the 49ers Coaches kept their offense primarily in heavy personnel groupings, 22, 21, 13, etc. This left the Panthers defense to spend much of their time in the 4-3. Surprisingly, given the score of the game, San Francisco followed the suit of Carolina's previous opponents, sparsely running the ball in the second half. In comparison to 13 called run in the first half, the 49ers ran the ball just six times in the third and fourth quarters. Unlike the Panthers previous opponents though, I think the 49ers decision to run the ball less in the second half had to do with a general lack of opportunity, as San Francisco only ran 21 total plays in the second half. The Panthers defense did a phenomenal job of forcing the Niners into three-and-outs and stalled drives.
Through nine games this year, only three teams have run the ball more than 20 times against the Carolina defense (Seattle, Buffalo, and Arizona). In those games the Panthers are 0-3, although correlation does not prove causation. If an opponent can keep the Panthers offense in check, and stays with the run game, they have got a very good shot at beating Carolina.

Late in the first half Cam Newton was 2/10 passing. Initially it wasn't mechanical flaw, but similar to last week's tilt versus Atlanta, Newton was a little anxious, resulting in a couple of errant overthrows.
Here Newton's target is Ted Ginn who will run a 5-route.
Ginn gets great separation, and Newton does a fantastic job with his post-snap reads identifying San Fran's Cover 3, and shifting over to Ginn.
Finishing his drop, Newton makes the throw to Ginn. The only mechanical question mark for me is Newton's release point, which is way over his head. Otherwise, everything looks good.
The QB is able to step into his throw.
But the ball sails way over the open WR's outstretched hands.
That incompletion results in a third down and fifteen. One area we know Newton has been working on has been his mental state. Quarterbacks can't let previous failures affect their composure and actions on the field. The Panthers QB has made big steps, but here we see his frustrations get the better of him. San Francisco is leading 6-0, and thus far the Panthers offense had done very little. Stuck in 3rd & 15 around midfield Carolina needs a first down, or just about 10 yards to get Graham Gano into acceptable field goal range.
From 01 personnel Cam has two deep options, Ginn and Smith on 9-routes, with Hixon, Olsen, and Lafell running curls. If the deep options aren't open, Newton needs to hit one of his auxiliary targets.
Newton initially looks to Ginn, and shrewdly decides to hold onto the ball.
The QB then summarily glides his gaze across the field, looking for Smith with the pocket collapsing. The problem here is both mechanical and mental. Whereas Newton's eyes are on Smith at the far sideline, his shoulder blades are pointed in the direction of TE Greg Olsen. Smith isn't open; the Niners Cover 3 has a man underneath and overtop Smith; Cam should not be going his direction.
Rather than looking to Brandon Lafell in the slot, who at the bare minimum has 10 yards, beating Patrick Willis in coverage, Newton forces the pass to Smith. To make matters worse, OLB Ahmad Brooks prevents Newton from stepping into his ill-advised throw. Aiya.
The result? The ball doesn't get close to Smith, and the 49ers DB, Brock makes a nice catch, intercepting the ball, returning it to the Carolina 24-yard line.
We now look at Newton's next pass, on the subsequent Carolina drive, a 3rd down & 7.
With the game now a two-score affair, and faced with a third-down and long, the pressure on Newton is high.
Newton drops back, and reads the safeties. The pocket has cleared very nicely.
Unlike his opposite number, Newton climbs the ladder, stepping into the pocket, and finds Lafell crossing through the Niners zone.
Delivering a side arm throw, Newton hits Lafell for a gain of 17-yards, moving the chains. This would spur the Panthers sole touchdown drive for the game. Not letting the spectacular failure affect him moving forward, Newton calmed down and would finish the game on 14/22 passing, depreciated by a couple of drops in the second half.
Changing gears, I don't think RB Jonathan Stewart, who has only played in two games this season, is up to speed yet.
Here in the fourth quarter the Panthers run lead power from 12 personnel. RG Nate Chandler pulls with TE Greg Olsen the lead blocker.
As Stewart takes the handoff, it is apparent that there is nothing to be had following Olsen. However, the blocking has provided a nice cutback lane. Not a 20-yard play to be sure, there is still the opportunity to gain at least 4-5 yards.
A head-scratching decision, Stewart decides to disobey the blocking and bounce the run further outside, ignoring Byron Bell and Ryan Kalil's seal blocks, and run towards the two SF defenders with leverage.
Unsurprisingly Stewart is gang tackled as soon as he makes it outside.
It's been awhile since Stewart has been playing full contact games. He needs some time to reacclimate.
Now here's a look at San Francisco's fourth quarter sack of Newton.
Like Carolina, San Francisco does not blitz very often. Here they do. Lafell and TE Ben Hartsock identify the blitzing DB off screen. Kalil/Newton alters the protection scheme, shifting to the line to the right, so as to accommodate for the blitzing DB. RT Byron Bell will swing out to block the DB, which leaves RG Nate Chandler to pick up OLB Ahmad Brooks, while Kalil will slide over to block the 5-tech over Bell.
Chandler erroneously sticks with the 5-tech, which leaves Brooks unblocked into the backfield. The RG sees Brooks move past him and attempts to slow him down, but is no position to do so.
Newton is leveled.
Chandler doesn't surrender the sack with poor play, rather by not understanding the protection scheme. This is fairly natural. The RG being in only his second game ever at guard, during his first ever season on the offensive line. Errors such as these will diminish as Chandler has more time at guard.

Marcus Forston, Sean Spence staying at UM (and a few other things)
By Jorge Milian
A few notes and thoughts:
….Not sure if there was ever a serious possibility that either linebacker Sean Spence and defensive tackle Marcus Forston might leave early to enter the NFL draft, but both players said through a UM statement on Monday that they will be back. Spence will be a candidate for ACC Defensive Player of the Year. Forston can be special when he wants to be.
….Al Golden said last week that the lack of depth at quarterback kept him awake at night. I'd say he has much bigger worries at cornerback where he's looking at using Brandon McGee and two other guys who have never played before when opponents go into three-receiver sets next season. Any hopes that Latwan Anderson, one of the nation's top recruits who left UM's football team during the middle of the 2010 season, might be an answer were extinguished on Monday by this terse statement from UM: "Latwan Anderson is no longer a part of the Miami Athletics Department and will not be with UM during the spring semester."
….ACC teams finished a combined 4-5 in bowl games. The SEC is 4-5 with Auburn still to play while the Pac-10 is 2-1 with Oregon facing the Tigers tonight. Other major conference bowl records: Big Ten (3-5), Big 12 (3-5) and Big East (4-2).
….How bad was UM on punt returns this season? Historically bad. The Hurricanes' return average of 4.5 yards is the second lowest in school annals. Their 154 total yards on punt returns was the program's ninth-lowest despite the advantage of playing 13 games.
….Not that I think he deserved to be fired, but I was a little surprised that Golden kept strength and conditioning coach Andreu Swasey on staff considering that Golden's stated list of needed improvements included "conditioning."
….Athletic director Kirby Hocutt signed two coaches to extensions last year. One (Randy Shannon) didn't turn out too well. The other (women's basketball coach Katie Meier) has been a home run. Meier's crew entered the Associated Press Top 25 at No. 22 on Monday and have won 15 consecutive games. My favorite UM athlete, Riquna "Bay Bay" Williams, leads the ACC in scoring at 19.8 points per game.
….Speaking of basketball, it's Duke and everybody else in the ACC, which means UM has a real chance to finish in the top six if it can find a way to win a conference road game. The good news is that the Hurricanes get five of their next seven games at home.
….Golden promised an offensive coordinator by Tuesday. We'll see.
….Shannon often skewered predecessor Larry Coker's recruiting and now he's getting similar treatment. Golden pointed out last week that 45 recruits are paying UM visits in January. "The last couple of years, I don't even think they got out of the 30s in terms of total visits," Golden said. Don't think he meant that as a compliment.
….I'd love to see good guy Cortez Kennedy inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He's a finalist for the third consecutive year.
….As far as tonight's game, I'll bet on the SEC team in the national championship game until I'm given reason to do otherwise: Auburn 34, Oregon 27.
