A Fairy House for $ 12 Million
If you think about Arizona and you try to picture the landscape, you can definitely do it! However, if you try to imagine how a 12 million dollars house would look like in this environment, the picture is not very clear. Nevertheless, reality says otherwise and the Foothill House is the concrete proof.
It is a contemporary residence located in Paradise Valley, Arizona. As the name of the place suggests it, the surrounding landscape seems to be the image of heaven or a perfect place,which was forgotten by the rest of the world. The green of the grass, the trees, all sorts of flowers and plants, the stones, the cacti seem to contribute to a generally pleasant atmosphere where peace reigns.
The two-storey house has everything you could dream of, from bedrooms, more bathrooms that you would imagine, family rooms to a library, an exercise room, a circular pool and a mini golf course.
The entrance on the property makes you think about the gate of heaven, the entire environment seems to be taken from a film too good to be real and the house is the most beautiful, elegant and modern home you can imagine. Words are useless in trying to reveal the uniqueness of this place. It is a mixture of taste and style, elegance and harmony; the shades of brown, beige and orange are perfectly chosen; the furniture pieces are modern and elegant, while the decorative objects and the range of colorful flowers create a distinguished atmosphere, inviting and inspiring. This dream is definitely worth all the money!Listed for $11.9 million.

A single dad from Chicago plans to pay off his parents' mortgage after he won $1.3 million from a scratch-off lottery ticket.
Okpara Smith, 30, bought the $2,500 a Week for Life lottery ticket at a BP gas station while running errands, the Illinois Lottery said in a release.
He scratched the ticket in his car, and rushed straight to the lottery prize center after he realized he won, the release said.
"When they confirmed I won, all I could think of was that now I would be able to pay off my parents' mortgage. My dad is retired and they could really use my help," Smith said in the release.
Smith, a single dad, also plans to buy a larger house and invest for three daughters, the release said. He chose to take the prize's cash option, and will receive $1,358,000 after withholding.
The gas station, at 6350 W. Montrose Ave., will receive a $19,400 payout for selling the winning ticket.

The Beauty Awards package comes as Women's Health will hold its first "Are You Game?" event July 14 to 15, a two-day athletic challenge where readers can partake in off-the-beaten-path classes and activities, such as riding a mechanical bull, taking kickboxing classes and rock climbing. The launch of both programs follows the title upping its rate base to 850,000 from 750,000 with the July-August issue, a 13 percent bump.
Meanwhile, editor in chief Tina Johnson has appointed an executive editor to replace Beth Fenner, who left in March to tend to an ailing relative. Alison Gwinn will join June 11 from In Style, where she worked for eight years, most recently as deputy editor. Gwinn also worked at Entertainment Weekly prior to her stint at In Style. — S.D.S.
NEW LIFE: At least one staff member at the shuttered Life has found a spot to land: Susan Pocharski has been named entertainment director at Ladies' Home Journal. Before overseeing celebrity interviews at the short-lived Life revival, she was a senior editor at People and the executive editor of George. — Irin Carmon
LENDING A HAND: In front of an audience that could only be described as rapt, Ina Garten, also known as the "Barefoot Contessa," held court with House Beautiful editor in chief Stephen Drucker, who occasionally appears on her Food Network show. Garten, a longtime friend of Drucker, writes a column for the magazine, and her apartment is in the May issue. As guests on the top floor of the Hearst Tower gulped down selections from Garten's cookbooks, Drucker remarked that getting Garten on board represented a key element of his vision to turn around the magazine with a spirit of "easy luxury." House Beautiful struggled with four editors in six years; Drucker redesigned the magazine just over a year ago, after joining in October 2005. House Beautiful's ad pages are up 12.2 percent for the first half of this year, according to Media Industry Newsletter, though circulation last year was flat. — I.C.

A steady flow of dump trucks loaded with dirt made their way into a Dunedin neighborhood Sunday morning.
Crews were using the soil to fill a large sinkhole that opened up early Thursday morning. The large crevice led engineers to destroy two homes that were badly damaged when the sinkhole opened up.
Tom Burke, City of Dunedin engineer, was among those supervising the work this weekend.Related story: Second home near Dunedin sinkhole demolished
"It's a remarkably big hole and we've never had this kind of sinkhole activity here before," Burke said. "We're simply trying to get the hole filled as best we can to stabilize the site and reduce the risk of hazard to the adjacent properties."
Burke and his team of engineers estimate it will take approximately five to six-thousand cubic yards of dirt to fill the sinkhole.
Filling a large sinkhole isn't a task that is done quickly or easily. Officials hope to complete the task sometime Sunday night but Burke and his staff will continue to monitor the situation and may have to return with more dirt on Monday.Stay connected with the news of the day.

Feature - A new test bed for future cyberinfrastructure
Grid, cluster, and cloud developers will have somewhere new to test their software before letting it loose on the world, thanks to a new initiative called FutureGrid.
"I think people found that it was pretty hard to test early grid software on the machines that were available, because the machines that were available didn't like being experimented on," said Geoffrey Fox, principle investigator for FutureGrid. "FutureGrid is trying to support the development of new applications and new system software, which are both rapidly changing."
The FutureGrid collaboration, which will be headquartered at Indiana University, had its first all-hands meeting 2-3 October.
"We will have early users throughout the first year," said Fox. A small number of users are already signed up, but there remains room for more on the FutureGrid roster.
"We would like a broad range, so we would like projects different from the projects we have," said Fox. "We'd be more interested in people who say, 'I want to develop a multicore application' or 'I want to exploit cloud technology and see how that works for my application.'"
FutureGrid will include a dedicated network, shut off from the rest of the world. Although that means they will be able to conduct some network research, their focus is on developing applications to run on clusters, grids and clouds.
They also plan to develop educational applications. Using virtual machines, for instance, "you can develop operating system classes on FutureGrid which would not be possible on a traditional system," said Fox.
Currently, Fox is also in negotiations with companies that are interested in developing applications on FutureGrid. "Many companies are going to have applications in these areas," said Fox. "Some companies are going to want to develop applications for this hardware."
FutureGrid, which is a part of TeraGrid, received $10.1 million in funds from the National Science Foundation and $4.9 million from eight international and national partners.

OFB works with a cooperative, statewide network of partner agencies to distribute emergency food to hungry families. We fight hunger's root causes through public policy advocacy, nutrition and garden education and work to strengthen community food systems.Learn about the OFB Network.

Fred Meyer Stores continue to engage employees and customers in the fight against hunger at every level. Donations of food, funds, time, event sponsorship and relationships are a tremendous source of support for OFB's mission.
Oregon Food Bank is alerting recipients of food through the Oregon Food Bank Network and associated partner agencies, pantries and community kitchens of a voluntary recall of peanut butter and almond butter due to a potential Salmonella contamination.
The recall, in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), includes products with BEST BY dates of July 21, 2015 or earlier. Full details here.
The Oregon Master Gardener Association awarded Oregon Food Bank's Seed to Supper gardening program with the 2014 Marje Luce Search for Excellence Award.
The best lineup in 27 years, fantastic weather, dedicated sponsors, thousands of enthusiastic volunteers, and generous blues fans came together to make the 2014 Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival a spectacular success.
Many families in need of food assistance will have better access thanks to a recent decision by the Portland Children's Levy (PCL) Allocation Committee. The committee voted to fund Oregon Food Bank's School Pantry Program activities within the city of Portland in the amount of $1.282 million over three years. The committee's decision was supported unanimously by the Portland City Council today, which votes on PCL funding recommendations. Seven school pantries are located in the city of Portland, with plans for 11 more within the next three years.

2010 GR Awards: Best Fighting Game
Posted on Tuesday, December 21 @ 15:55:29 Eastern by Nicholas Tan
Setting aside the notion that Super Street Fighter IV was supposed to be Street Fighter IV in the first place, the entire Street Fighter IV series has had the most significant impact on the fighting genre. Nods can go to EA MMA for introducing a rival to THQ's UFC franchise as well as BlazBlue for reinventing the Guilty Gear-esque fighting system. But Super Street Fighter IV proves that you can teach an old headbanded shotokan fighter new tricks. Even though the precision and music for Street Fighter III is better, this reboot of the classic Street Fighter characters in a 3D mold was what the series needed to find the warrior within again. (And for laying the groundwork for Marvel vs. Capcom 3, it gets extra points.)
Runners-Up: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, EA MMA, UFC Undisputed 2010, WWE Smackdown! vs. RAW 2011

This month I'm featuring Glenn Berry, a Denver based MVP that writes Glenn Berry's SQL Server Performance blog. He blogs at least once a week and often more frequently on topics about performance, and one thing I like is the posts are direct, clear, and often include well formatted source code to go along with it. If you're interested in performance (aren't we all?) you'll pick up some nice tips here from time to time.
I'm Andy Warren, currently a SQL Server trainer with End to End Training. Over the past few years I've been a developer, DBA, and IT Director. I was one of the original founders of SQLServerCentral.com and helped grow that community from zero to about 300k members before deciding to move on to other ventures.

Are School Fundraisers Appropriate for the Office?
With any sport or school activity, comes fund raising. It's quite simple. If we want to do the stuff, we have to chip in. There's simply not enough money to go around to totally fund every group, sport and activity. So… the kids raise funds. They sell candy bars, pizzas, popcorn and cookie dough.
The office is often used as a place to pitch a fund raiser. I get asked several times a year to buy something for someone. I try to pitch in when I can with the idea that it's kind of a 'buddy system.' I'll get yours today and you hit mine next month, right? Seems fair.
But when I asked my co-workers who don't have kids, I got some pretty strong reactions. They hate them and they feel obligated and awkward when we bring the kids in to ask for the money.
And if you're a boss, is it fair to ask your employees to contribute? What if they can't afford it but they feel pressured?
Is there a good way to bring school fundraisers into the office?

A vigil was held Tuesday night in honor of a 32-year-old woman who was found dead in the roadway just blocks from her home last week. Livia Smith's body was discovered by a motorist just after 5 a.m. last Wednesday morning on Barclay Drive. Smith sustained scrapes to her arms and legs, as well as head trauma.
A vigil in Smith's honor began at 7 p.m. at the location where her body was found.
Friends, family, neighbors and even strangers gathered to pay their respect with candles, flowers and a simple white cross mark.
While Smith's family and the tight knit east Nashville community are still grieving their loss and celebrating her life, they are pleading with the person responsible to come forward.
Family members told Nashville's News 2 Smith's death seems suspicious. "We're not getting any answers as time unfolds. It just appears to look like more than a hit and run," said Ian Struthers, Smith's younger brother.Smith was last seen leaving 3 Crow Bar Tuesday night when she got into a cab alone. A friend walked the young woman to the cab, however did not get a good look at the driver. Metro police believe the cab was a yellow van, but so far, authorities have not been able to identify the cab driver, leaving the family frustrated and searching for answers."I want whoever was responsible, whether it be the cab driver, whether it be someone driving by in a vehicle, where it be anybody, anybody involved in the last moment's of my sister's life, to come forward and speak up," said Struthers.When Nashville's News 2 reached out to Yellow Cab regarding the investigation, they merely said they had no comment.Metro police said there is no update and the department's traffic unit is leading the investigation.
Anyone with information on what happened to Smith is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME.

Barbara Walters Makes Lady Gaga Blush
Barbara Walters selected the "outrageous, outlandish, and out of this world" Lady Gaga as one of her "10 Most Fascinating People of 2009." Dressed in a black Chanel suit, Gaga blushed while telling the ABC News journalist that she's had sexual relationships with women, but never been in love with one, and revealed that her father was once concerned that she was "mentally unstable."
"You're not at all what I expected—you're much more," Walters told her. Watch their sit-down below.

Welcome to School for Parents
We're a Nottingham-based charity that supports babies and pre-school children with conditions such as cerebral palsy that cause motor disorders or motor development delay. We also run specialist projects to help children with Down's syndrome improve their communication skills.
We work closely with both the children and their parents to encourage and motivate each child's desire to achieve tasks. At the same time, we give parents the knowledge, confidence and strength they need to cope with their child's disability and understand how they can help.
All our activities have a common goal – to help every child reach his or her full potential within a safe, fun and supportive environment. Read more.
Our work is inspired by the principles and practices of Conductive Education, developed at the Petö Institute in Hungary. This approach places the parent firmly at the forefront of their child's education, encouraging the child's personality to develop alongside their mother or father.

The staff help you to achieve your goals – and you will, if you work at it. They help you get on in life. I enjoy it at School for Parents. Most of all, it makes me feel proud of who I am.
Brandon, aged 12, pupil
I know for a fact that if School for Parents hadn't taught me how to perform passive moves on my daughter's limbs and joints, she would certainly have needed surgery by now to correct contractures.
Iona, parent
School for Parents will help you find a way to work with your child by using their experience to solve problems in ways you may never have thought off.
Nicola, parent
The instruction, advice and support we receive from School for Parents has given us the confidence, knowledge and direction to help Sophie achieve her best at home and out in the wider world. We don't know where we'd be without it. Thank you.
Tim & Lynda, parents
Having the opportunity to meet other parents going through similar experiences on a weekly basis means I feel supported and less isolated in dealing with Gideon's Down syndrome. I've also made some great friends. Thank you.
Estelle, parent
I feel so grateful to School for Parents for everything they did for Holly. They provided a vital role in the pre-school years. The staff members were absolutely fantastic with the children and as a parent, I always felt 'looked after'.
Holly's mum
We don't know what we would have done without School for Parents. It's a fantastic place for children with various needs and we can't praise all the staff and what they do enough.
Andrew & Alex, parents
School for Parents has given us hope. We came for a visit and have never looked back. I was excited and relieved to find a service that offered hope and support, where my son wasn't going to be the odd one out.
Michele, parent
School for Parents is the only place where I feel supported as a single parent of a child with a disability. I would say to other parents…Go and see for yourself!
Helen, parent
To see your little one blossoming in front of your eyes is a very rewarding experience, especially in the context of parents' initial worries and fears about their child's growth and development.
Jhanavi's mum
When our son was diagnosed with cerebral palsy we were told he would never walk – today he came 4th in his school's sports day race! We can't thank School for Parents enough for everything they have done to support us.
Chris and Katie, parents

Students are heading back to school today after a dealing with delays and closings all winter.
With the potential for icy weather this week and of course six more weeks of winter, some schools are making calendar changes to make up for days lost. In Montgomery county, the school system has six built in days that will change the last day of school depending on how many are used. Students in the county have missed five days as of today. There is still one built in day remaining but anything over six and the school might have to consider using scheduled closed days.
Roanoke County has three banked days. Students have missed five days and are already making up for it with previously scheduled days off. The county could end up making up days during spring break days and or possibly have Saturday school if they miss too many more. Roanoke County previously used Saturday school as a way to make up days.
The Roanoke City School system has missed four days but so far there's been no discussion about making those up. Spokesman Justin McLeod says the school system is in good shape and focuses more on hours rather than days. The Department of Education requires that students be in school for 180 days or 990 teaching hours, meaning school divisions can choose to extend the school day to make up hours.

The Good Kind of Gluttony
Burning the midnight oil…that's when the fears come.
Alone with the computer, searching for affirmation; searching for "good enough." The wired wireless draws me in and offers me life. But it's empty and it gnaws at my heart like an unfed belly.
Trying to find life in something other than my Jesus always fails me. I'm thankful it does because in my starvation I crawl to Him, the only One who can feed me life.
So I take a seat at His full banquet table and I sense He is telling me to take what I need. I take. And I eat and I swallow life down into my spirit where His meets mine and I am nestled and nourished. I can't get enough.
I want more, and He offers more, and He offers drink and it is all so good. This is the kind of gluttony that results in a fattened spirit so I'm taking all the calories I can cram in.
He is better than ice cream.
And there is always enough to go around.

10 Coffee Talks on "The Good Kind of Gluttony"
God's timing is so perfect — this was a much much needed reminder for me this AM. As I "burn the midnight oil" or sit in the quiet of the wee morning hours, the worries, the fears, the lacks of faith come. Yes, my God is more than enough, and He will satisfy like no one and nothing else.
Describes exactly how I have been feeling! Some days I find myself on the computer searching looking for soemthing and never satisfied. Instead when I get into God's Word that always fills me up and is so very satisfying! Thanks for this today!
Praise God he is always there and gives freely.
Yes! He is enough, and more than enough. :) Thanks for this encouragement today.
i love His banquet feasts and am ashamed that i sometimes choose
ice cream, instead.
I love this Sarah Mae…I want to want His Word…seek, search, treasure, delight in, pursue, crave….Him.
Your post caught my eye because I just bought an oil lamp like this at our local Saturday market :)
Thank you! This is a wonderful reminder and encouragement for me today! In His Presence I find fullness of joy! Psalm 107:9 ~ " For He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things."
This is awesome. Your Words are encouraging! Thank you.
Ouch. This is so true. I've been feeling restless and anxious and wanting comfort food and blog hopping time. I need HIM.
You know what's so funny? Many times when this happens, He meets me right where I'm at, at an awesome blog like yours, and says this very thing! It's like going to get some fast food, and at the drive through window, in the bag of junk food, is a message from Him saying, "Come to Me. You will never be filled with this 'food'".
You know you have an anointed blog writer when almost every time she writes something, you think, Ouch, ouch, ouch, she wrote that for me! Keep it coming, Sarah Mae, your words inspire!
Hugs from Texas,
Good kind of gluttony- yes! That's my kind of diet :). Well said, thanks for the reminder that He truly does satisfy like nothing else…

Cheaper way to run vote
9:20am Thursday 22nd November 2012 in Letters
THE Police Commissioner election was a costly fiasco.
It is probably a good idea that we can vote for or against certain public officials, but only if we have an informed electorate. I received no information about the job and no information on the candidates and I did not feel able to cast an informed vote. Most people I know felt the same, so, with a miniscule turnout, how can the winner claim a mandate to do the job?
They might just as well have let a monkey pick a name out of a hat – and it would have cost only a pack of peanuts.

Strategic Partner Programme
The Department of Health Third Sector Strategic Partner Programme aims to invest in a small number of strategic partners starting April 2009 (for three years, subject to the availability of funds) who will work collaboratively with the Department of Health to:
- Advise and inform the Department about key issues in the health and social care field affecting the third sector
- Develop capability and capacity in the third sector
- Establish a coherent and rational framework for engaging with third sector organisations at a national level in a systematic and mutually beneficial way
- Achieve shared objectives in improving health and well-being and reducing health inequalities
- Provide robust and systematic dissemination methods for information, policy developments and key programmes enabling third sector organisations to engage in the delivery of health and well-being objectives
The Department currently has 17 Third Sector Strategic Partners:
- Action for Prisoners' Families, NACRO (National Association for the Care and Rehabilitation of Offenders)
- Age UK
- Carers UK, Cross Roads Care, The Princess Royal Trust for Carers
- Combat Stress, The Royal British Legion
- Department of Health
- Faith Action
- Men's Health Forum
- Mental Health Providers Forum
- Shaping Our Lives, NCIL (National Centre for Independent Living), RADAR (Royal Association for Disability Rights)
- NAVCA (National Association of Voluntary and Community Action)
- NCF (National Care Forum), VODG (Voluntary Organisations Disability Group)
- NCB (National Children's Bureau)
- NCPC (The National Council for Palliative Care)
- National Heart Forum
- Race Equality Foundation
- Regional Voices
- WHEC (Women's Health and Equality Consortium)
Collectively these third sector organisations through their distribution networks can reach more than 350,000 third sector members. As such they have much to offer local commissioners through their understanding of need, gaps and service provision; the ability to engage local people and provide services. Visit our Strategic Partner Summaries page for information about what these organisations do and how to contact them.
A number of the Strategic Partners have produced their own briefing sheets to help their members understand the opportunities JSNA presents and how to get involved in their local JSNA to influence local services and inform local commissioning decisions.

Our Coaching Packages are designed to expand your thinking and bring about change, growth and transformation in your life. The goal is to move you forward swiftly to create the life/business you DESIRE and CHOOSE. Many coaching programs are created to keep you dependent on them for ongoing support, and at Crow Hill, our clients actually become lifelong friends and clients… because they choose to be.
At Crow Hill Conversations, we use techniques that facilitate change and personal growth via our inner-work coaching model – or 'transformational work'. It's like building a house. We build from the inside out… the foundation and structure are set in place first, to align the inner-self. When the foundation is complete, the outer work flows easily into place, as it follows that inner foundation.
For our professional clients, and especially coaches we coach, we also offer programs that include training and consulting– the outer work of building a successful professional practice. Allison is highly trained and skilled in sales, coaching, leadership, facilitation, conflict resolution, online business models, and more.
When you combine the inner work, with the outer work…building from the foundation out–
You Can LIVE your DREAMS

Graphic and Visual Coaching Methods
Are you a visual thinker? Do images and photos grab your heart? I am uniquely different from most coaches out there. I often use visuals in my coaching and I'm in the process of becoming a CERTIFIED VISUAL COACH. There are very few of these in the WHOLE WORLD. 65% of people are visual and I combine my coaching skills with doodling, to "draw out" new possibilities, new ways of thinking, and fabulous ways of being for my clients.
Pictures tell stories. You have a story to tell and with Image Center coaching, you and I work together to create a guided collage to discover and tell your story. I have partnered with the image experts at VisualsSpeak.com to use their proven and beautiful images, to draw out the stories within you.
Find out more details, and check out the pricing of these powerful sessions.
Crow Hill/Soul-Full Living Online Journal Community:
Many of my programs use daily online (private) journaling to help my clients make the most out of these processes and their coaching. Journaling is a GRAND ENTRANCE, if you will, to self-discovery…and that is what this process is all about….YOU, uncovering the true champion within, of accepting you true value, of gaining clarity about your self, your heart, your desires, and your path….with the tools you already have within.

Hear what my clients have to say…
* a note about fees: I publish my fees– while many coaches and consultants do not. I stand in the value I deliver with my vast experience, education, and skill…..but coaching isn't about me. It is about you. You aren't investing in me, you are investing in yourself. Of all the things you spend money on….where does your "self" fall on the list of priorities. The first step for getting where you want to be is to accept responsibility for yourself…and the second step is to be willing to be move yourself out of your comfort zone for significant growth. The question isn't 'can you afford coaching'….the question is, "Can you afford to stay where you are in life?"

Arch rivals go level with eight wins each
10:00am Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News By David Quinn
Following a gripping contest, which the Ploughman's Bunch! (Wolvercote) led 49-45 at half-time, their stablemate and principal Premiership protagonist, the Plough, displaying a breathtaking knowledge of New York City to steamroller the penultimate, specialist round, squeaked home by 78 to 76.
Consequently, they moved alongside their arch rival in the table with eight wins apiece, separated only by the Bunch's heavier weight of scoring.
These two behemoths of Quizland lock horns once more in round fourteen, the outcome of which may decide the championship outcome.
Only a fool would discount Far From The Madding Crowd 'A' (Oxford City) from upsetting the duopoly at this stage, especially as they have to play both the leading lights twice. They stayed in the mix after a hard-fought victory over the King's Arms (Wheatley), coming from behind in the final round to prevail 74-70.
Every bit as thrilling as events in the Premier Section are those in the north, where the lead has changed three times in as many weeks.
Regaining pole position were the Bell (Lower Heyford), courtesy of a 68-58 defeat of the Chandos Arms (Oakley). This timely return to form coincided with losses for newly displaced front runners, the Blue Boar 'A' (Chipping Norton), who perished at the Seacourt Bridge (Botley), 59-71, and for previous tabletopper's, the Blue Boar Bees (also 'Chippy'), who failed to withstand the challenge of visitors, the Windrush Club (Witney), going down 55-65.
There were notable scalps in this division. Firstly, by the Chequers (also 'Chippy'), who grabbed their third success of the campaign with a successful road trip to the Black Swan (East Oxford), edging out the hosts 65-61, and secondly, in the eye-catching result of the evening, by the Sun (Hook Norton) who racked up a massive 75 points in putting visitors, the Black's Head (Bletchingdon), with 51, to the sword. Skipper Vince of the vanquished tried to explain the demolition job on energy wasted battling through fog to reach their destination.
It was a good night for the Green Dragon (Haddenham), which leaves them in control of the east. That setback for the King's Arms, with a 60-73 reversal for the Eight Bells (Long Crendon) at the Gardener's Arms (North Parade), was backed by their own 74-63 despatch of North Oxford Conservative Club (Summertown).
The Con Club stays top of the Oxford Division, however, due to the Green Road Club (Kidlington) falling at home to the Hatchet (Childrey), 66-71.
In the west, the Royal Sun (Begbroke) continues to dominate, this after a comprehensive display against FFTMC 'B', sweeping them aside 69-37. This was earned despite incorrectly identifying Oxford's first goalscorer in the historic League Cup win of '86. 'Trevor Howard' was starring in 'Shaka Zulu' at the time, somewhere in southern Africa. In the tightest match of the round, the Woodman (North Leigh) salvaged a draw with the White Hart (Eynsham) on the final question. 'Bill McGarry' got them to 64 all.

|Echo canceler and echo canceling program - An echo canceler uses an adaptive filter to remove an echo of an incoming far-end signal from an outgoing near-end signal. Filter coefficients are calculated and updated while the far-end signal is active so as to minimize the residual echo. In addition, the far-end signal and near-end signal are sampled to generate simulated far-end and near-end signals, from which substitute filter coefficients are similarly calculated while the far-end signal is silent. When the far-end signal changes from silent to active, the substitute filter coefficients are swapped in as initial values for the filter coefficients, thereby speeding up subsequent convergence of the filter coefficients without significant added computational cost.
|Echo canceler and echo canceling method - An echo canceler uses an adaptive filter to remove an echo of an incoming far-end signal from an outgoing near-end signal in the presence of ambient noise, updating the filter coefficients while the far-end signal is active and the near-end signal is inactive. The near-end and far-end signals are also sampled to obtain data vectors, which are averaged to generate simulated near-end and far-end signals, from which substitute filter coefficients are calculated and updated while the far-end signal is silent, the substitute filter coefficients being used when the far-end signal becomes active again. The number of data vectors averaged is varied according to the ratio of echo power to ambient near-end noise power, or according to the echo attenuation ratio, thereby speeding up convergence of the filter coefficients. Data sampled while the near-end and far-end signals are both active are excluded from the updating process.
|Echo Canceller - An echo canceller is capable of reducing echo feeling in a conversation even if a tone signal is input. The echo canceller of this invention judges whether a far-end input signal is a calling control tone signal or not, and if that is the case, resets a coefficient of an adaptive filter. An echo canceller of another aspect judges whether a far-end input signal is a predetermined kind of a tone signal or not, and stops the update of the coefficient of the adaptive filter if the result is affirmative and an amount of echo cancellation is not larger than a threshold value. Further, when the tone signal ends, the echo canceller compares amounts of echo cancellation before and after the end of the tone signal, in accordance with a result of the comparison, restart the update of the coefficient of the adaptive filter after resetting the coefficient of the adaptive filter, or restarts the update of the coefficient of the adaptive filter without resetting the coefficient of the adaptive filter. Moreover, notch filters may be provided to eliminate a tone signal frequency component at input stages of the adaptive filter and the adder for echo cancellation.
|Echo canceller and echo cancelling method and program - An echo canceler uses an adaptive filter to remove an echo of a far-end input signal from a near-end input signal. Filter coefficients are calculated and updated while the far-end signal is active. While the far-end signal is silent, substitute filter coefficients are similarly calculated to be swapped in as initial values for the filter coefficients when the far-end signal changes from silent to active. The substitute filter coefficients are generated from a simulated far-end signal and a simulated near-end signal obtained by combining corresponding samples in different intervals of the far-end and near-end input signals. To facilitate convergence of the substitute filter coefficients, use of the simulated far-end and near-end signals is disabled when the corresponding samples cancel out.
|Sound signal adjuster adjusting the sound volume of a distal end voice signal responsively to proximal background noise - In a sound signal adjuster for use in telephone circuitry including a microphone capturing sound to produce a first sound signal and a loudspeaker, a second sound signal representative of a sound in a vicinity of the loudspeaker is obtained, and transitions are detected in the first and second sound signals to determine whether or not the sound in the vicinity of the loudspeaker is blocked. When the blocking is detected, a difference is calculated between a first frequency characteristic detected in response to the sound captured by the loudspeaker being determined as blocked and a second frequency characteristic detected in response to the sound captured by the loudspeaker not being determined as blocked. The difference calculated is used for suppressing a noise component included in the first sound signal.
|Echo canceller canceling an echo according to timings of producing and detecting an identified frequency component signal - An echo canceller includes an initial delay estimator producing a reference signal containing an identified frequency component masked by means of frequency masking effect to output the reference signal on an echo path, and detecting, from a sending voice signal, an echo component of the identified frequency component derived from the reference signal. The estimator finds an initial delay amount on the echo path on the basis of a forming timing of the reference signal containing the identified frequency component and a detection timing of the echo component in the identified frequency component in the sending voice signal. The echo canceller includes a delay circuit for delaying a received voice signal by the initial delay amount on the echo path obtained from the estimator to supply a resulting signal to a pseudo echo generator.
|ECHO CANCELLER HAVING ITS EFFECTIVE FILTER TAPS ADAPTIVELY CONTROLLED WITH ECHO CANCELLATION AMOUNT MONITORED - In an echo canceller including an ADF and a cancellation adder, an ACANC calculator finds an average value of the amount of echo cancellation for a predetermined period to update the average value of the amount of echo cancellation, and detects a convergence state of the ADF to find the amount of echo cancellation in the convergence state of the ADF. A coefficient selector, when receiving a detection signal of the convergence state from the ACANC calculator, finds a power ratio of the sum total of power of all tap coefficients and the partial total of power of tap coefficients not to be assigned to taps to determine the effective number of taps useful for suppressing an echo component on the basis of the amount of echo cancellation and the power ratio. The ADF updates only the effective number of taps to disable the remaining taps.
|Echo canceller for eliminating echo without being affected by noise - In an echo canceller, a specific frequency component eliminator eliminates a specific frequency component of a specific frequency from a receiver signal to output a resultant signal to an echo path. A specific frequency component detector detects a frequency component of the same frequency as the specific frequency eliminated by the specific frequency component eliminator from the transmitter signal. A noise calculator finds noise power on the basis of power of the specific frequency component detected by the specific frequency component detector, and finds total power including noise and an echo component on the basis of power of a frequency component including the echo component. A control parameter calculator uses the noise power and the total power found by the noise calculator to find a control parameter of the echo canceller.

|INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE - An information processing device having a function for efficiently debugging a parallel processing program by controlling snoop operation is provided. The information processing device is so configured that the following is implemented: the setting for receiving a snoop request from a central processing unit can be set at a snoop controller that controls snoop operation; and as the result of reception of a snoop request, a debug controller can stop multiple central processing units.
|INFORMATION PROCESSOR - An information processor controls accesses to a cache memory from application software programs differing in range of addresses, accesses to which are authorized. The cache memory blocks an access to an unauthorized address. In the information processor, an ID is assigned to each application software program, and the tag field of the cache memory is extended. Further, in performing "Cache Fill" (i.e. reading main memory data into the cache memory), the ID is recorded. At the time of making a cache hit judgment, the access control is performed by comparing the extended tag field with ID of an application software program group of an access requester.
|Soft error processing for multiprocessor - The data processor having CPUs each capable of accessing memories enables the processing of a memory error according to the processing mode of the data processor. The CPUs have a memory, and each include a first storing unit capable of storing CPU-identifying information which enables identification of CPU having accessed the memory. At the time of occurrence of a soft error owing to access to the memory, the CPU, having the memory, stores the CPU-identifying information for identifying the CPU having accessed the corresponding memory in the first storing unit, and notifies the interrupt controller of occurrence of a soft error of the memory. After having received an interruption of the memory soft error from the interrupt controller, the CPU uses information stored in the first storing unit to identify the CPU having made the access, and performs the error processing.
|DATA PROCESSOR - The data processor provides an access protection with higher reliability during data transfer control according to a transfer condition set by CPU. The data processor has: CPU; a memory management section operable to control data transfer by CPU; and a transfer controller operable to control data transfer. The transfer controller holds identification information which the memory management section uses for access protection. When producing an address for transfer according to the setting of CPU, the transfer controller starts data transfer on condition that the identification information corresponding to the address for transfer matches the identification information of CPU at the setting of a transfer condition, etc.
|Computer and Data Saving Method - It is provided a computer comprising a nonvolatile memory for storing data, a control processor for controlling the saving of data into the nonvolatile memory, and a battery for supplying power to the computer in case of a failure of an external power supply, wherein the control processor checks a charge amount stored in the battery, calculates an amount of data which can be saved in the nonvolatile memory by the battery in case of a failure of the external power supply based on the checked charge amount, and saves data excluding the amount of data that can be saved, out of data which should be saved into the nonvolatile memory, into the nonvolatile memory in advance.

|Echo canceler - An echo canceller, in which an adder adds a pseudo echo generated by an adaptive filter to an echo, so that the echo and the pseudo echo are canceled to each other, includes: a subband filter (
|Sound signal adjustment apparatus and method, and telephone - A telephone with a speaker and a microphone uses the speaker both as an electric-to-acoustic transducer, to reproduce the far end party's voice, and an acoustic-to-electric transducer, to capture external sound in the vicinity of the near end party. From the captured sound signal and the signal picked up by the microphone, a decision unit decides whether or not the external sound is being blocked. When the external sound is blocked, a volume control unit increases the volume of the far end party's voice as reproduced by the speaker. The near end party can accordingly turn up the speaker volume by moving the part of the telephone including the speaker close to the user's ear to block external sound, without having to manipulate any manual controls.
|Voice communications apparatus - Voice communications apparatus intervenes between a telephone set and a broad-band transmission path that has a communication band broader than a voice band limited by the transmitter and receiver characteristics of the telephone set. The voice communications apparatus includes a transmitter frequency characteristic corrector circuit for correcting the frequency characteristic of a signal input from the telephone set, and a receiver frequency characteristic corrector circuit for correcting the frequency characteristic of a signal to be input to the telephone set.

As part of my own personal Get Fit challenge, I needed to find an exercise program. As a mother of three kids, I cannot afford to go to the gym, nor can I schedule in the time. I need to be able to work out when I can fit it in. For example, today when I noticed that my kids were really involved in the game they were playing, I did a quick Cardio Dance Class (23 minutes). I learned how to Salsa dance.
I love that with Workouts on Demand, I have so many choices of workouts. You can choose from Premier Workouts or Express Ones. Workout choices include, Pilates Mat, Yoga & Meditation, Total Body Toning, Cardio Dance, Cardio Kickboxing, Step Aerobics, Stability Ball, and Low Impact Aerobics. There are over 170 video classes and over 50 of them are great for beginners, like me! I get bored easily, so having a different type of work out each day is a major plus. I also like that I don't have to try and see around people in order to see the instructor. And if I look like a dork doing it, no one will see it except my family.
Workouts on Demand can be streamed to your computer, tablet, or TV (If you have LG-TV). I do not have LG-TV and my internet is horrible. This was an easy fix. I downloaded my workouts, so that I wouldn't have to pause when my streaming is interrupted. I also bought an HTMI cable and am able to easily plug my computer into my TV. But, if our TV is being used, I can just take my computer or tablet into the other room. I can work out in any room in the house!

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A restaurant from Eufaula has won Alabama's BBQ Sauce-Off Championship.
A panel of judges picked Phil's BBQ as the best sauce during a tasting Saturday in Birmingham. Phil's was one of four regional winners that ended up in the state contest organized by the Alabama Tourism Department.

The contest began with 34 sauces. The four finalists in addition to Phil's were LawLers from Athens, Costas from Birmingham and Viper from Fairhope.

I have home insurance with this terrible company. Made a claim in May 2014 for a damaged bath. They have still not paid out. Latest correspondence is asking for the measurements of my bathroom width depth and height, as they have instructed a third party company to 'assess' my claim. Obviously we have had to have the work done and we have paid for it. Due to the delay we had extra water damage to our plaster board and floor boards around the bath. Total claim is around 700, and it… Read Full Review

After a year with Sheila's Wheels, I did not renew with them, as the renewal price was a lot more than I could get by changing using a comparison website. Therefore I rang Sheila's Wheels and told them that I did not want to renew, and they said OK. End of story? No, because 6 weeks later I noticed in my bank statement that they had completely ignored my call and had kept taking the monthly direct debit, not just one but two payments. When I rang them about it, the employee I got through to… Read Full Review

Found a cheaper car insurance today after buying a new car. Rang up SW for a quote they quoted nearly double the quote I had seen previously with new company. I have been with SW for 5 years. They didn't try and match my new quoted or offer any kind of alternative. They charged me £90.00 to cancel and the lady on the phone sounded very smug. Bad attitude and absolutely no attempt to keep me as a customer! I then noticed that on the car insurance comparevwebsite that SW quote was on £20.00… Read Full Review

Went with them previously and they wrote off my car without discussing it with me and then cancelled my policy as it was an 'at fault' claim. They then tried to pay me about 60% less than the market value of the car. It was only because I kept all records of correspondence and when I escalated to a complaint that they admitted the sum offered was incorrect and reimbursed me. It took months to sort out and was very stressful. I never believed the car had enough damage to be written off. I felt… Read Full Review

I am with these people, sadly! I havent had to claim as yet!!..i am a bloke by the way, i was attracted by prices??
But i called them the other day to report that i was now retired, and would i get a better deal, as i wont be doing my usual 6000 miles to work, per year, drive to LONDON....You just wont believe what this young man said! in answer to my optimistic enquiry.
The young man on the phone dealing with my enquiry, said; without, even a little, embarassment, ''you wont save money, but it will cost you 'More' in payments!... WHY? i asked, glancing at my nearest calendar to see if it was April 1st... He said; ' '' Because you are NOT driving your car to work, TO London!! on a regular basis''... so i said ('' could you repeat that'', as i thought i had misheard what he had said...but no, i did not hear wrong...he said ..''So if you are driving 5000/6000 miles LESS, by being retired, and NOT travelling to LONDON for work .. AND your car is parked at HOME, in a PRIVATE car port on a PRIVATE housing area...YOU WILL SAVE £1: 74p Per Year....Yes £1: 74p PER YEAR....Just to be clear, he told me i would be up for a SAVINGS of £1: 74p!!. Per year ..But, he also said, you will have to pay a (£24 fee ) to get the £1:74P deduction PER YEAR.

I called Sheila's Wheels on behalf of my close friend who had just received her latest renewal quote. The premium was extremely high and an increase on the previous year's policy, despite my friend's maximum no claims of 13 years. Naturally, we were curious to understand why the premium was so high compared to competitors found via Compare the Market. To call Sheila's Wheels renewals dept. you have to pay for the call which, to me is totally wrong. The agent I spoke to was pleasant enough… Read Full Review

MBB is facing off against UNLV this Thursday in San Ho! That was about the best draw Cal could have gotten. Perhaps our seed could have improved a bit and we could have faced a 7 seed instead of a 5 seed. But home cooking against a team that Cal nearly knocked off earlier this year. I'm feeling OK about it. We'll find out tomorrow what the WBB matchup will be. Fingers crossed!
But that's not all there is. Cal also faces off against itself in the spring game next week. Usually the spring game is the only chance for fans to really get an opportunity to see the team in action. Not so this year! We've had endless opportunities to really see the team this year. So, it diminishes the coolness factor a tidbit. However, it should still be fun to see more of a game environment. There is a meet the players event afterwards, too. And it'll be on the Pac-12 channel.
Saturday, in particular should prove crazy. There are several events already scheduled, including the spring game. MBB and WBB might have games that day. So, it could be an unending stream of Cal.
So, ya, there is a lot going on this week. Baseball is also home on Tuesday and women's swimming goes for YET ANOTHER NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP! There should be action for that on TV. How many does women's swimming have in a row now, like 35? Keep it locked here to see if Cal can add to the trophy case. GO BEARS!

A tragedy at a Tough Mudder race in West Virginia is raising questions about the safety of the events, and has prompted organizers to take a closer look at the obstacles.
Police say 28-year-old Avishek Sengupta of Ellicott City, Md., was found last Saturday in water at the "Walk the Plank" obstacle of a Tough Mudder event near Glengary. He died the next day at a northern Virginia hospital; a medical examiner said Sengupta drowned.
Many people here in the Tampa Bay area have participated in the popular events.
"We were talking about it at the last race and we were quite surprised that no one has passed," said Lenny Destefano.
He knows the races, finishing seven in a year.
"It wouldn't be exciting if it wasn't a little dangerous," he said.
The Tough Mudder course is more than 12 miles with 25 obstacles. It's messy, muddy, and if the large walls and jumps don't wear you down, the live electric wires just might.
"I think just about everybody got shocked at least once. I did. It was actually pretty painful," Destefano said.
The race is painful and extreme by design, but not intended to risk your life. But the death of an athlete in West Virginia who jumped off a plank and was later found dead in the water has the national organization looking in the mirror.
"We're looking particularly at safety protocols of each of our obstacles, and looking at everything from obstacle design and integrity to the way that we brief and manage emergency personnel on site, and the way we manage volunteers," said Tough Mudder marketing director Ashley Pinakiewicz.
The courses are built specifically for race day and Destefano observed that not everything holds up so well.
"As the day goes on, you can tell the course starts to deteriorate. What used to be level footing is now covered in mud, some of the hay bales deteriorate. Things start to get a little more challenging," he said.
That challenge is what keeps luring some athletes back, despite the risk.
"Would I do it again? Absolutely," Destefano said.

Club Nintendo site hacked, customer data exposed
Summary: Game console maker's Web site with 4 million members in Japan was breached and personal data such as e-mail addresses exposed, but the company did not confirm if the information had been misused.
Ninetendo's member Web site has been breached and personal information of its customers in Japan may have been exposed, according to the company.
A report by The Japan Times on Saturday cited a statement by the game console and software maker which revealed about 15.46 million fradulent login attempts were launched against the site from June 9, 2013, through to Thursday last week. Of these, 23,926 were eventually successful, it said.
Data affected by the hacks included names, home addressses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of its 4 million Club Nintendo members in Japan, the company said.
Nintendo, however, did not confirm any misuse of the breached data. It had suspended the affected accounts and passwords used in the unauthorized access, and was contacting members whose data might have been illegally accessed and requesting that they changed their passwords.
The Club service is offered to registered Nintendo's customers who have purchased the company's consoles and software, allowing them to earn points which can be redeemed for rewards such as CDs.
This is not the first time the Japanese console maker has been breached. Last November, posts on user forum NeoGaf suggested its Wii U network had been breached just hours after its U.S. retail launch in 2011. In another incident, ahead of the expected debut of its next-generation Wii console, Ninetendo found itself the victim of Lulz Security.The company, though, said confidential information was not stolen.
