In case you missed it on NewsChannel 11 at 5 this week, I think this bears repeating. New technology is helping stroke patients walk comfortably again.
Many illnesses or injuries can leave a patient dragging one foot when they walk, but here's whats new. Made by a company called Bioness Inc., the Ness l 300 is a device that straps around the leg that is dragging a foot and though wireless communication, it sends electrical stimulation to the nerve that controls the muscles in that leg.
In fact, these electrical impulses are so precise that the movement is timed, the patient can increase speed or even run if they want to. This breakthrough technology will help not only stroke patients, but many others facing an illness or injury that leaves them with a drop foot when they walk.
"Almost anybody with any kind of central nervous system injury like MS, strokes, spinal cord injury. This can take people from not being able to walk or only being able to walk short distances to being able to walk long distances and having a pretty dang normal gait. It's incredible," says Dr. Roger Wolcott, of Covenant Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine.
Dr. Wolcott says Covenant Health System is one of just two places in the country offering the Ness L 300 at this time.

Out of Stock
Item # SKS0033
This model is no longer in stock.
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Fenders in stock than that.
SKS X-Blade Rear Fender $0.00
Ever tried to pick up a girl at the pub with a dirt stripe down your back?
SKS made the X-Blade for folks who want a super-basic rear fender for occasional use. It clamps around your seatpost, and it pivots both at the post and at the interface between the clamp and the fender itself. This dual-pivot design allows you to customize the exact position of the fender over your rear wheel for any size road bike. Ideal for riding in areas where the roads are wet in the morning (we think of misty San Francisco), but it's not actually rainy out. Total weight with hardware is 205g, and it comes in Black only. One other note: we recommend pairing the X-Blade with the X-Board to get a similar level of protection from the spray of your front wheel.

Life in the Hour GlassDates: July 09 - September 06, 2014
From: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Though a winter scene like the one below may seem out of season, this iconic image captures the spirit of OD & Tillie Frank's Friendship Fireplace. Around this hearth, the Franks gathered with neighbors, friends, and students to share a love of nature, a love of learning and ultimately a love for community. The POCO Museum will be opening the exhibit that features a nod to this fireplace and honors the spirit of those who gathered around it during their lives in the Hour Glass. We can think of no better way to start the summer season here at the Museum - a season that is sure to bring new discoveries, new friends and new inspiration.

Mr. Kitchenette and I are pretty addicted to Iron Chef. I know, I know… we're old school. Nowadays everyone is watching Top Chef and don't get me wrong – we love that show, too. But there's something kind of awesome about Iron Chef… I think it's that the Iron Chefs are established, and that they make dishes that the normal person at home would never even dream of making.
A few weeks ago, we watched "Battle Balsamic Vinegar." I think they created this battle just for me, honestly… practically every dish I make has balsamic vinegar in it. I heart balsamic vinegar. Well, anyways, Bobby Flay – my favorite chef – made balsamic vinegar pasta dough. I KNOW. Where does he come up with this stuff?!
So the next morning, I was recanting my undying love for Bobby over Twitter, and Lan of Angry Asian Creations was all "I want that balsamic vinegar pasta dough," and we agreed that someone needed to make it. So I made a valiant effort, and this is the result. Not exactly what Bobby made on IC, but to tell you the truth… I don't really remember what he made exactly… (I know, I'm so ashamed!)
I made this using my Kitchenaid mixer to mix the dough, and then I used the mixer's pasta roller attachment for the noodles. I try not to post recipes where you might need to buy a new kitchen tool, but… I really love my stand mixer and pasta maker, and I think every cook should get one if they can afford it. If you don't have a mixer, then you better get to the store quickly! Just kidding. You can roll the dough by hand with just a rolling pin, but the noodles won't be as thin. Katy over at Sugarlaws has excellent instructions for making the noodles by hand.
This is the first recipe I'm posting that is totally and completely from my brain only, so please let me know what you think!
Balsamic Vinegar Pasta Dough
Serves 8 to 10
3 1/2 cups (830 ml) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) kosher salt
3 eggs
6 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Mix together flour, salt, eggs, and balsamic vinegar. If using a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together when you squeeze some in your fist. (You may need only a little water, or you may need a ton – it all depends on a variety of factors such as the humidity level in the air, the altitude you're making this at, how old your flour is, whether you're making this on the 3rd Saturday of the month, and whether God wants to smite you that day or not. You get the point. I needed about 1/2 cup of water, but you may only need a few tablespoons.)
Working in batches, knead the dough for 2 minutes (per batch) on a Silpat or floured countertop. If the dough seperates when you try to knead it, add more water (a tablespoon at a time) to make it more pliable. Pat the dough into flattened circles and let it rest for 20 minutes before proceeding to make the noodles.
Attach the pasta roller attachment to the stand mixer. Starting in the "1" setting (the thickest setting), feed the dough through the roller. Your first attempt probably won't be pretty, but simply lay the pieces flat and press together, before sending the piece through the roller again.
First pass through the rollers. What? This doesn't look edible to you? Pffff.
Once your dough comes out in one piece, fold into thirds, and pass through the rollers again before moving to the next setting.
Pass the dough through the rollers at least twice, for every setting 2-5. You can continue to roll the dough out to settings 6,7, or 8, but setting 5 will get you very thin noodles that are perfect for sphaghetti or linguine.
Since this recipe makes a shatload of pasta, I like to freeze the leftovers, and then use them later. As I feed the dough through the cutter to get noodles, I lay the noodles out on wax paper. I guess and put about 1 serving's worth of pasta on each sheet, and I make sure to lay the noodles out flat so that they don't get tangled. Dust with a little all-purpose flour, and stack the wax paper sheets. Then you can put all the sheets in a ziplock bag and stash in the freezer. Then, the next time you're too tired to make anything for dinner, just whip out your pre-made fresh pasta noodles. It's fun to live like kings, no?
Balsamic Vinegar Pasta with Goat Cheese and Scallions
Serves 2
1/4 Balsamic Pasta Dough, recipe above
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, grated or finely minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 bunch scallions / green onions, green parts only, thinly sliced
4 oz goat cheese, seperated
salt and pepper
Bring to boil a large stock pot full of water. Salt the water generously.
Heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Grate the garlic into the oil and butter, and add the crushed red pepper. Cook for approximately 2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant. Do not let the garlic or red pepper burn! (If it does burn, just start over! It will taste terrible – I know from experience.) Add 2 oz of the goat cheese, crumbling it with your fingers as you add it to the pan. Remove the pan from heat. Allow the goat cheese to melt into the butter and olive oil while you cook the pasta.
Add the pasta noodles to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but not mushy. Remove the noodles and add to the sauce, and toss gently to coat the noodles with sauce.
Transfer noodles to plate. Crumble remaining 2 oz goat cheese over pasta, and garnish with scallions. Serve immediately.

Barcelona had to deal with an early second half sending off, but Mallorca didn't have any more of an answer for 10-man Barcelona as they had for 11-man Barcelona. The shorthanded nature of their side prevented the Blaugranas from pouring it on their opponents, but they were very good in a comfortable 2-0 victory.
Alexis Sanchez scored the opening goal in the 25th minute, though his final touch was ever so slight. With Xavi sitting out, Lionel Messi took a free kick that appeared destined for the net on its own, but Sanchez got a touch on the ball to make sure and give Barcelona the lead. They weren't terribly aggressive in the remainder of the second half and cruised into halftime with a 1-0 lead.
In the 56th minute, Thiago Alcantara picked up a second yellow card to handicap the Blaugranas, but Mallorca would never capitalize. Messi would provide another assist after a corner kick for Barcelona's second goal. He hit the post with a shot and Gerard Pique was there to finish off the move.
The pressure is now on Real Madrid, who have drawn their last two games in La Liga, allowing Barcelona to get back into the title race.
For more on the Blaugranas, head over to The Offside Barcelona and Barca Blaugranes.

The Fat Man Rides Again
I must admit, I thought Mangino was brilliant. He was a fabulous tactical coach. As mad as I was about the 2007 Orange Bowl, I couldn't criticize what he did with his opportunity. He absolutely embarrassed Frank Beamer. Like many talented people, Mangino could be his own worst enemy. I hope that he's really turned it around, because the way he left KU was just a shame.

From NFL DOT COM:
The NFC East during the 1980s was as tough a division as the NFL has ever seen. In New York, there was Bill Parcells coaching Phil Simms to sling the ball around the windy Meadowlands. In Washington, there was Joe Gibbs and Joe Theismann in RFK with the band playing "Hail to the Redskins" all day long. In Dallas, there was Tom Landry and Danny White in Texas Stadium, with a hole in the roof so God could watch America's Team play. And in Philadelphia, where Buddy Ryan and Randall Cunningham whipped the infamous Eagles fans into a frenzy at the old Vet.
Everyone called the NFC East the best division in football back then because any team that could survive had a legitimate Super Bowl chance. So what is the best division today? Defining the best division requires three critical factors:
A. Great coaches
B. Great quarterbacks
C. Tough home venues
Topping the list:
Home to the Super Bowl champ Packers and elite quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the North is my winner for the best division. All teams have unique venues to play -- two domes in Minnesota and Detroit, two tough weather outdoor stadiums in Green Bay and Chicago -- and each team has a quarterback capable of playing well. The reason the North has moved to the top is based on the resurgence of the Lions. With Matthew Stafford leading the charge, an awesome defensive front and a fan base that loves football, the Lions have bought into what head coach Jim Schwartz is building. From top to bottom, the North is tough and each game between one another will be a war.

Who do you think is the toughest Division this year?

Reporter: Mark Kelly l Videographer: Sally Delta
Lynchburg, VA - It all started innocently enough. Some local boys were just playing around. But in an instant, it all went terribly wrong.
Thirteen-year-old Dez Heal of Lynchburg fell onto the spear he had just made. The picture taken at the hospital is very graphic.
It's truly amazing Heal survived and can talk about this. He looks just fine, and just has some bandages on his neck.
The boys of the McWane neighborhood block could very well spend the rest of their summer just playing ball after their favorite game turned dangerous.
"He was screaming and you could hear it in his voice that he was freaked out," said Nicholas Blencowe, victim's friend.
"I heard my son yelling for me," said David Heal, victim's dad.
"I was scared that he wouldn't be okay," said Blencowe.
Nicholas Blencowe thought his friend Dez Heal was hurt for good when pretending to be a ninja landed Heal in the hospital. Heal picked up a bamboo stick as his ninja weapon, never thinking it would turn on him.
"I decided to put the bamboo stick in the back of my shirt," said Dez Heal.
"I guess when he jumped, the stick must have went forward. And when he hit the ground, the stick went in his neck," said Blencowe.
"It entered right here on the right side, then came out about three inches back, just behind his ear," said David Heal.
"And I felt it and I was like, 'O gosh,'" said Dez Heal.
Heal ran to his dad in the house with his lips blue and face ghost white. Dad, calm and collected, called 911 as a stream of worries flooded Heal.
"I'm thinking that I might pass out, maybe during the surgery when they pull it out, it might start gushing, and they might not be able to save me. I'm hoping it hasn't hit anything important," said Dez Heal.
Heal's wish came true. It didn't hit any area that could threaten his life.
But, while the pole did not hit an artery, it did strike a nerve.
"Did you learn any kind of lesson from this?" we asked.
"Don't play with sticks a lot, and now I'm scared of bamboo," said Blencowe.
"Yeah, I'm not playing as rough as I used to," said Dez Heal.
"It makes you think about the value of life," said David Heal.
Doctors in Lynchburg transferred Heal to UVA Medical Center. That pole was stuck in his neck for five hours before doctors got it out.
Dez and his friends are taking their play time a little easier nowadays. They're going to play less ninja games and talk a little more instead.
(To see the photo of Dez's injury taken at the hospital, click here. Warning: is it very graphic.)

In April this year, Paul Devaney was trying to achieve a dream to reach the summit of Mount Everest and complete the Seven Summits Challenge - but nature had other plans.
We broadcast every Saturday @2pm on RTÉ Radio 1, 88-90FM, Repeated Sunday evenings @7pm
The Documentary on One team are always looking for ideas for future radio documentaries.
We consider absolutely everything.
In fact, what you might think is a trivial enough story or idea, we might think a gem - so don't be afraid to contact us.
As many of you will know, we touch on a huge variety of topics, stories and people in our documentaries. However, we do have general criteria of how we assess ideas.
Here are some tips on what we feel makes a good radio documentary.
1: A Story
2. An Event
3. Intimacy i.e. direct access to the people/events/storytellers. Second hand information can dilute the subject matter, person or event.
4. Something you care about - If you don't care, why should anyone else?
5. Characters - Real people, real accents, young and old, male and female
6. Scenes / Audio pictures - Places, scenes and imagery bring stories to life - A scene can as simple as a kitchen, a field or a car.
7. Sound - One of the greatest gifts of radio is its ability to provide scenes/Audio pictures, thus allowing the listener into that space. We always record out and about. What's happening in the background can sometimes be as important as what's being said - i.e. seagulls, laughter in a pub, a tractor/machine, water/wind/fire etc
8. Imagination - Is there a new way to approach an 'old' idea? We always try to capture peoples imaginations.

text: Has anyone else noticed this teams decided lack of moving the ball around? Last year we would have a half where we were stale offensively then CRP would obviously talk to the team and we would come back out making several passes prior to taking a shot. We don't seem to be doing that this year. We either throw it inside and hope for Gorgui or Chane to make the shot or we're taking a quick shot from the perimeter or hoping some crazy acrobatic shot from Russ or Peyton on penetration goes in. Where's the extra pass this year? That's where we had our success hitting three's last year, collapsing defenses, finding the open shooters. It doesn't seem to me that is happening and I don't understand why CRP isn't addressing it.

3 Favorite Frames of the Berkshire Festival of Women Writers.
Before April arrives in her muddy boots I must savor a few more moments of Out of the Mouths of Babes An Evening of Mothers Reading to Others on March 1. As I write, I am listening to a recording of the event and the sounds I love the most, above Michelle, Janet, Jenny, Nichole and Alana's reading voices are the sounds of the audience- laughing, gasping, groaning in recognition of the truths revealed in the beautiful writing we heard that night. The audience warmly embraced all the readers, singer Stephanie Campbell and special guest Susan Engel.
I appreciate every single person who attended March 1. Thank you.
I rented Dewey Historical Hall for our evening in the heart of Sheffield, MA. I love the feeling of a town meeting, all the wood and plaster walls. Like the church basement kitchens I grew up in, the coffee mugs were so clean and neatly organized on easy-to-slide-out-of-cupboards trays. It was a joy to produce this event at Dewey Hall and I felt the common ground of our missions. Dewey Hall 's mission is to "promote intelligence and cheerfulness for all" and mine is "to see and celebrate the sacred in daily living, to create venues for the stories of women to be heard and celebrated, particularly the stories of mothers". We are a good match, Dewey Hall and Laundry Line Divine.
Thank you Dewey Historical Hall. What a lovely place.
Lastly, I loved how people bought copies of the anthology and read it right there in the hall. We sold the book at intermission and by the end of the evening two people won signed copies. Just like the satisfaction gained from grins of pleasure from the people who enjoy a meal I have made, watching readers dive in to the anthology held the same feeling for me. You get to dive in to the stories of a wide variety of women with different takes on a creative life. Tears and laughter abound. I have so enjoyed hearing responses from readers like Barbara Aycock of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina who said:
I love your book & would love to purchase 5 or more copies for women I know & love. There is a wonderful & powerful voice heard in each of the writings & I found myself underlining, writing notes in the margins, & turning back page corners as I read. It is a wonderful gift, & I am deeply grateful.
Thank you readers and thank you Barbara!
As I leave you this evening, I must tell you a few things.
1. The Out of the Mouths of Babes blog series will continue with full and lusty posts from Anthology authors and new writers to LLD. Today we have a gorgeous post from Stacey Mattraw, of Portland, Oregon and Cortona, Italy. Stacey will be visiting me here in the Berkshires in early April and I cannot wait to make some art with her. Here is her post.
2. The Powder Keg Sessions writing workshops for mothers and others will continue on in April through June. If you aren't in the Berkshires but would like to dip your quills and write, consider joining me at the International Women's Writing Guild
Big Apple conference on April 13-14 in New York City. Here is where you can learn more about Powder Keg and see some of our doodles and writing.
I hope your holiday Holy Day weekend is filled with time to read, to cook, to walk, to look across the table at your life mates and offer a few moments of gratitude for their good company.
Here is joy from my heart to yours,
P.S. Several people have asked to read the piece I read on March 1 titled My Oshitashi Boy about life in the kitchen with my son…who is just now learning about which colleges he is being accepted in to. I will include it in the blog series next week. xo S

From my seat I want to smell the burnt gunpowder from the fireworks and have its smoke burn my eyes. I want the white bubbles from the foam of the Budweiser to run down my face. I want to hug the perfect stranger who has been screaming next to me for the past three hours. I want to throw my wife into the air in celebration. I want to look up into the sky and see a tsunami of blue and gold confetti raining down on me. I want the feeling of joy and silent euphoria to overcome my body as if I have my arms out ascending into Heaven. I want to once again feel what it is like to be a Super Bowl Champion.
Everyone knows that the NFL is a quarterback league. Just look at the eight quarterbacks for the teams in the playoffs this weekend and look at who is drafting in the first five picks in the draft.
Our quarterback Sam Bradford is arguably the player in the NFL with the largest question mark behind his name.
Who is Sam Bradford? The reality is we do not know which puts us in a precarious position with wide ranging results and implications. The positive spin on our precarious position is that it is likely to gain clarity during the 2014 season. It is important for our team to execute a strategic plan that allows our team to be Super Bowl Champions under ALL scenarios. So what do we know about Sam?
We know Sam is tough and has the size you want in a quarterback.
We know that he can be very accurate.
We know he loses far more games than he wins.
We know he is book smart.
And we know that he has missed a number of games in both college and pros because of injury.
In 2014 we need to learn things about Sam.
Is Sam a mentally quick enough decision maker and risk taker to win consistently? Does he have the cognitive dexterity and reactionary abilities to be a Super Bowl Champion? I have watched every single game that Sam has played live at the Dome. He doesn't go through progressions and constantly checks it down to the safest and least rewarding option. Is this a habit that can be broken? And for all those excuse makers saying that Sam doesn't have a line that allows him to succeed or an offensive coordinator look around the league. Sam has always had around league average time in the pocket to throw the ball and he creates very little time on his own. The elite quarterbacks lose linemen and still win. Peyton, Brady, Big Ben all lost their top linemen during the past seasons and still succeeded. Sam is out of excuses as his next start will be his 50th game.
We do not know if Sam is a leader. Meaning that if he has the "IT Factor". The "IT Factor" is that intangible quality of being a winner. The "IT Factor" is contagious to a team where a team never gives up in the face of adversity because they believe in their leader. Leadership comes in many different styles. We saw two perfect diametric examples of "IT factor" leadership this year in college. Johnny Football in your face "Remember the Alamo" outspoken style. And the quiet confident positive calm of Jameis Winston. The only reason those teams battled back from adversity in their bowl games is because they BELIEVED. They believed in their quarterback and you can see it in their teammates' eyes.
Les Snead needs to learn a lesson on navigating unknown situations from our military. In the Marine Corps, we go into violent situations with huge unknowns. We assume things are going to go badly – people are going to die, maps are going to be wrong, plans are going to fail, tactics are going to fail, machines are going to break. In the Marine Corps we create contingency plans to account for these scenarios. Contingency plans are plans in place that assume our best guess plans are wrong. The goal of the contingency plans is to make sure that we will complete our mission successfully with the least amount of casualties under different scenarios – some good some bad.
So here you are Snead – Don't @#$% this up for our city. The Saint Louis Rams are far too important to the city of Saint Louis. People's lives and families who are supported by ticket sales are on the line.
Here are the scenarios for the Saint Louis Rams:
Scenario A – Sam is great and stays healthy. Result - We are a playoff team
Scenario B – Sam is great and gets hurt again. Solution - We need a backup to step in that is as good as Sam.
Scenario C – Sam is average. Solution - We need a top 10 franchise QB that can get us to the playoffs. You are welcome for the $60,000,000+ we paid you.
Scenario D – Sam is a loser. Not in the human sense but in the win/loss column. Solution - We need a top 10 franchise QB that can get us to the playoffs.
So here is my Mock Draft - Marine Corps Contingency Style.
Pick 1.2 – Trade this pick to Raiders, Jacksonville, Vikings, Browns, or Jets for the following:
2015 1st round pick. Pay attention here maggots…2015.
2014 2nd
2015 2nd
2014 3rd
2014 4th
These values are consistent with the draft value chart.
Pick 1.13 – Trade this pick to a Playoff Team or near playoff team for the following.
2015 1st round pick
2014 2nd
2014 4th
This would allow us to: 1.) fill a number of holes this year, 2.) take a shot at a great backup QB in the second round of 2014, AND 3.) give us the AMMUNITION to move up in 2015 to get Winston if Sam flops in 2014.
So here is my Mock:
Three Second Round Picks:
2a Kelvin Benjamin WR FSU – Benjamin can jump out of the gym and is the Red Zone target the Rams badly need. He caught 15 TDs this year from Winston. Under the "bad" contingency plans we could reunite him with Winston. He may fall from his combine performance as he lacks the elite speed and does not run crisp routes. Player comparison: Alshon Jeffery.
2b Zach Mettenberger QB LSU – Mettenberger is NFL ready. He is a big strong kid with the best arm in college. I really like how he goes through his progressions and is willing to take shots when he knows he has favorable matchups. The kid has brains and character. He screwed up as a teenager but was voted by his teammates as the team captain at LSU. Mobility is not his game so his knee injury should not be an issue for him. He has a quick release for throwing the ball with such velocity. Besides Bridgwater, Johnny Football and Bortles he is the only college QB that has a shot to be an NFL starter. I believe he will be the best of the bunch. He would have been the number one or two quarterback in this draft if he didn't get hurt. Player Comparison: Big Ben Roethlisberger
2c Kyle Fuller Shut Down Cornerback Virginia Tech – Exactly what the Rams secondary needs. He is a long and great cover corner. He is on the wide receivers like a Brazilian Jujitsu Black Belt is on a kick boxer. He has a sports hernia which is the only reason that he has fallen. Drafting Fuller would allow us to get out from under the contract with Finnegan in 2015. Player Comparison: Joe Hayden
Two Third Round Picks:
3a Joel Bitonio LT/LG University of Nevada - Here is some serious OLINE talent and value in the draft. Bitonio played LT at Nevada and did an outstanding job smothering some of the best pass rushers in college like Anthony Barr from UCLA. He has the endurance to handle the onslaught of rushers from the likes of the Seachickens. I like his quickness when he pulls so can slide in and play guard. I believe that he can be a day one starter at left guard for us and can play left tackle if Long isn't on the roster for opening day. Player Comparison: Josh Sitton
3b Bryan Stork C FSU - When you watch tape on him he wins battle after battle in the trenches. I don't know if I saw him get beat on tape. He is also the center for Winston. The fact that Barrett Jones didn't see the field after being dominated in preseason is a concern. I see Jones more as a utility type lineman that can fill in for the inevitable injured starters. Player Comparison: John Sullivan
Trade both 4ths to move into the 3rd round to draft Terrence Brooks Ball Hawk Safety FSU – Brooks is the athletic safety the Rams need. He is very instinctive and plays fast. Miscommunication on defense got him burned against Auburn which may hurt his draft stock a bit. The more and more tape you watch on him the more you like him. On tape he is always around the football, reading the QB, reacting, and making tackles and interceptions. Player Comparison: Jarius Byrd
5th – Michael Schofield RT University of Michigan - The best National Football League lineman on the University of Michigan football team may in fact be the right tackle – not left. Schofield gets off of the football quickly and has a great first step. He is tall at 6'6" and long and will grow into his frame. He currently weighs 304 but should put on more weight and muscle. He is a perfect addition to our line depth that is badly needed. If Lewan would have declared last year, Schofield would be a potential 1st round LT. Player Comparison: Doug Free
6th – Justin Ellis DT Louisiana Tech – This guy is great to watch on film. He has a huge body and is very quick off the ball for such a big man. He is no flash and all power bull rush. He would be a great addition to our DT rotational on running downs especially short yardage defensive formations. Player Comparison: Refrigerator Perry
7th – Josh Stewart WR Oklahoma State – Crisp route runner who is always open. He will be the steal of the draft if he falls here. Player Comparison: Danny Amendola
7th – Zach Fulton G Tennessee – He is a big bodied long player with upside that will add depth to our oline. He is durable as he started 35 consecutive games for the Vols.
UDFA – Ryan Smith FS Auburn – Efficient tackler for special teams.
The NFL is a quarterback league. Les better make sure that the Quarterback position is top ten in the league or we are going to be in the same boat as Houston, Jacksonville, Oakland, Minnesota, and Cleveland. We will then be forced to leverage our future like Washington did with us. This is a deep draft that affords us the opportunity to become a legitimate playoff contender, IF Sam is great in 2014, without drafting in the first round. If Sam is great, we will have the picks to get three 1st round players and two second round players in 2015. If Sam disappoints, we need the picks to move up in 2015 to get a franchise QB.
Don't @#$% it up Snead. Having a winning football team is too important to our city and to our dreams of winning another Super Bowl. I want to feel like a Champion again.

Virtualization showdown: VMware Workstation vs. Sun xVM VirtualBox
VMware's desktop champion takes the flag, but Sun's free and open source alternative is coming on strongFollow @infoworld
Of course, the biggest changes involve Workstation's support for VMware's ACE technology. Whereas in the past you had to run a separate version of Workstation -- the ACE Edition -- to edit and apply ACE policies, version 6.5 incorporates these features seamlessly into the base Workstation UI. You can now enable/disable ACE functionality for a VM with a single click, and given the depth and breadth of options available, one click may be all you need to securely lock down and manage a wayward VM. In fact, it seems clear that VMware intends for Workstation 6.5 to be your primary entry point into its ACE management environment, with similar one-click tools for creating ACE packages, including the popular Pocket ACE for USB sticks. Together, the Easy Install wizard and ACE integration features truly take the drudgery out of VM creation, configuration, and management.
I tested VMware Workstation 6.5 under Windows Vista (64-bit) on a 4GB Dell XPS M1710. Installation was a breeze, as with previous editions, and the new Easy Install option made provisioning and configuring new VMs nearly effortless. During preliminary benchmark testing using a Release Candidate build (and with the pre-release debugging features disabled), I achieved OfficeBench throughput levels slightly better (11 percent) than version 6.0 but nowhere near native machine performance. It's worth noting that Workstation 6.5 now allows you to manually override the underlying virtualization model, making it possible to force it to use one of three different modes (Binary Translation, Intel VT-x/AMD-V, Intel VT-x with EPT/AMD-V with RVI) or an Automatic option that selects the best mode based on your underlying hardware and OS configuration. I used the Automatic option during benchmarking.
Overall, VMware Workstation 6.5 is a worthwhile upgrade, especially for customers seeking to leverage VMware's ACE management features. But even without ACE, Workstation 6.5 is compelling. Most users will be sold on Easy Install alone; it's a feature that will make support professionals and developers instantly more productive. And although it's hard to put all of version 6.5's improvements into words, suffice to say that the old thoroughbred has never looked better.
The dark horse
Proud. Scrappy. Spoiling for a fight. These are some of the descriptors that come to mind as I look back over the history of VirtualBox. When I first reviewed version 1.3 nearly two years ago, I found a promising product from a small-time player (Innotek) that was still a bit rough around the edges. Four major releases later, and VirtualBox has undergone some major architectural changes. These include support for 64-bit hosts (including Mac OS X) and 64-bit guests, as well as a more modular/programmable architecture. VirtualBox has also picked up some new tricks, including USB device support. And it has of course found a new home via Innotek's acquisition by Sun Microsystems.
In short, VirtualBox has generally matured into a stable, viable alternative to VMware Workstation, at least for casual usage scenarios. And, of course, it's free -- both to download and to reuse as open source software. In fact, Sun has gone out of its way to promote VirtualBox as the ultimate generic virtualization solution, an everyman's VM tool for bridging the gaps among Unix, Linux, and Windows.

Workers add reinforcements to three bridges along the new Intercounty Connector in Maryland while engineers develop a long-term fix for hairline cracks in the concrete piers.
November 1, 2011
Three new bridges crossing the recently opened Intercounty Connector (ICC) toll highway in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., are undergoing temporary repairs to reinforce concrete piers that have developed hairline cracks. Cracks are visible in all 13 piers of the three bridges, on Georgia Avenue, Emory Lane, and Needwood Road. The cracks—as many as 50 in total—vary from .005 to .035 in. wide. The shortest is 7 in. long; the longest is 3 ft, 8 in. long, according to Ray Feldmann, the senior communications manager for the ICC project. Engineers have determined the piers have insufficient steel reinforcements based on an inaccurate model used by the bridge's designer, Feldmann said.

The concrete piers were designed by a joint venture of Parsons Transportation Group of Pasadena, California, and Jacobs Engineering of Pasadena, California, according to a Maryland State Highway Administration press release. A spokesperson for Parsons declined to comment, referring questions to ICC officials. Any costs involved in these modifications will be the responsibility of the contractor. "During recent state inspections, hairline cracks were identified on several concrete piers of the three bridges," said ICC project director Melinda Peters, P.E., M.ASCE, in a press release. "After consultations with the engineering and contracting teams, and an independent expert, it has been determined that modifications to supplement the support structures are required to ensure the long-term safety and durability of the bridges. The contractor has been directed to immediately begin making short-term modifications and develop the plan for further long-term corrective actions." Workers began short-term repairs on October 18 to strengthen the pier caps, Feldmann said in written responses to questions from Civil Engineering magazine online. The repair consists of wrapping two steel cables around the tops of the piers, then applying tension. "The design/build team is working on concepts for a long-term solution now," said Feldmann. The bridges will remain open during repairs, but the work will require lane closings on the ICC below. The three bridges cross over the first leg of the ICC, which travels from west to east through the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., about 8 miles north of the Capitol Beltway. This 7.2 mi section opened on February 23, 2011, linking I-270 in Gaithersburg to Georgia Avenue, near Norbeck. The second leg of the ICC, 10.7 miles between Georgia Avenue and I-95, is on schedule to open by the end of this year, according to the state department of transportation. A third leg will bring the final length of the road to 19.3 mi. The ICC is the culmination of 61 years of studies and plans to link the Maryland suburbs outside the nation's capital. Although a plan dating from the 1950s to create a beltway linking the outer suburbs of Maryland and Virginia beyond the existing beltway formed by interstates 495 and 95 was dropped in 1968, the idea of a highway that linked I-270 to U.S. Route 1 in Maryland remained on the drawing board, eventually becoming the ICC. The project, which began in 2008, will eventually cost $2.56 billion. Videos of the project can be found here: http://www.iccproject.com/video-archives.php.

FSU Football: Rod Owens DUI, NoleCC's Tired Of This Stuff
Posted by William Kristoph
Tomahawk Nation: Rod Owens Arrested For DUI.
WCTV: FSU Football Player Arrested.
Heather Dinich: Even more embarrassment for FSU.
If you've been paying attention, I haven't posted a lot of football related news on ScalpEm recently. I basically didn't acknowledge spring practice, the spring game, recruiting or anything else lately. Why? Because I'm SICK AND TIRED OF THIS PROGRAM, THE SELFISH PLAYERS IN IT, AND THE COACHING STAFF THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO GIVE A CRAP ANYMORE. Rod Owens DUI is the latest and greatest black eye for the school that I love and graduated from.
Like it or not the football program is the front for Florida State University for most of America, and right now America should think FSU is full of slacking, mistake prone, immature people. According to the various articles, Owens blew a .155 at 4:30 in the morning. Like TN said, either he was sauced badly at 2AM when the bars closed, or the party continued elsewhere, late into the night. TN makes a good point, that legally this is the first offense for Owens, and should be treated as such. I agree, in regards to his enrollment at FSU, if any other student got a DUI it wouldn't matter at the Monday morning class. But, there's that other part to Rod's FSU status, as a football player, and in my opinion, zero-tolerance should be shown here. SEND A MESSAGE TO THE PLAYERS.
Maybe I'm out on an island on this one… or maybe I'll get a bunch of bottles back:

Creating and Transmitting a Summarized JIT Call
This process describes how to procure materials from a vendor using a JIT call.
Your material must be assigned to a storage location.
- You have entered a vendor and if necessary you have maintained the corresponding partner functions for this vendor (the standard partner function LF is available).
- You have created a scheduling agreement for your material and your vendor, the storage location of which displays the same storage location as your material:
- You have created a schedule line for this scheduling agreement. Even when you do not want to send it to the vendor, you have to create a schedule line, in order to be able to post the goods receipt at a later date.
- You have set the KANBAN indicator 'Y' (for summarized JIT calls) for your item(s) in the scheduling agreement.
- In the scheduling agreement you have transferred the corresponding partner functions from the vendor.
- If you want to group the requirements according to delivery date, then you need to define a time definition in Customizing for KANBAN, which you then enter in the JIT call profile. For grouping using exact times you have defined a shift sequence; for grouping using days you have established a planning calendar.
- You have defined an appropriate JIT call profile in Customizing for KANBAN. It includes the following entries:
- You have entered the JIT call type summarized JIT call.
- You have entered a partner function. You need the partner function in order to group calls and for message determination.
- If necessary, you have established the grouping according to plant or to plant and loading point (via Summary).
- If you group according to delivery date, then you have also entered a time definition.
- In Customizing for KANBAN you have defined a replenishment strategy to create a summarized JIT call (corresponding control type).
- You have created a supply area in the Kanban application for the above mentioned Kanban storage location. If necessary you have defined an unloading point in this supply area.
- In the kanban application you have created a control cycle for your supply area and your material. This control cycle contains the defined replenishment strategy, the data for external procurement (e.g. scheduling agreement number) and the JIT call profile (on the tabstrip Flow control).
If necessary you must also make scheduling entries in the control cycle. Please also read the section
Process Flow
To group material requirements, please also seeGrouping Kanbans to a Summarized JIT Call.
You can transmit the message at various times:
- You transmit the summarized JIT call directly on creating it.
- You start regular output runs which define which summarized JIT calls you have to transmit.
- You test yourself which summarized JIT calls you have to transmit.
For the last two options you create a list of messages with help from selection criteria. You can transmit the desired message from this list to the vendor. See also
You determine the time of the output in Customizing on creating a Message type under Default values in the field Time.

THEATER REVIEW: 'Sugar Babies'
If innuendo were frosting, think of the rollicking "Sugar Babies" as the world's thickest (and sweetest) piece of cake.
The bawdy allusions in this musical revue, now on stage at Roger Rocka's through Jan. 16, come as no surprise considering the show's homage to burlesque/vaudeville traditions. Stephen Sondheim might have phrased it a little more delicately in his lyrics for the show "A Little Night Music," when one of his characters tartly sings of a lusty weekend in the country "watching little things grow," but when it comes to punch lines about the excitement of the male of the species, "Sugar Babies" makes no, um, bones about it.
Against such a backdrop of sexual coyness, it's a pleasure to watch such theater veterans as Richard Ruth and Ann Whitehurst strut their stuff and draw out the laughs. Even though the Sunday night audience I watched the show with was a little smaller and more reserved than the ideal — I kept waiting for some aghast patron to rise and throw holy water on the proceedings — Ruth and Whitehurst mined every possible giggle. Along with Chris Carsten, a GCP newcomer with an extensive theater background, and such stalwarts as actor/choreographer Steve Pepper, the show emerges with a sturdy, nostalgic tone overall rather than a crass "Saturday Night Live" shock-raunch feel.
The show, which hit Broadway in 1979 as a star vehicle for Mickey Rooney and Ann Miller, is a mix of dance numbers and vintage comedy routines set at the Gaiety Theater — in homage to old-fashioned burlesque. (No worries, Fresno puritans, there's no more skin involved than any other Good Company song-and-dance show.) Bopping along from silly sketches to sequined chorus routines, director Fred Bologna gives us a low-key, pleasant mix that is easy on the eyes and ears. Add enough groaner punchlines to trigger a "Laugh In" flashback, and the evening goes down pretty smoothly.
There were a couple of wobbles at the performance I attended. Some of the comedy moments needed to be a little brisker. Ruth was so determined to get a reaction from the mostly quiet audience that he stretched out his otherwise excellent first-act-finale drag routine — what a voice! — a little too long over the dead spots. And his "McHugh Medley" couples routine with Whitehurst could have used stronger direction. (I had a hard time figuring out the comic relationship between the two of them.)
But the highlights were far more prominent. Among them:
- The "Feathered Fantasy" fan-dance salute to Sally Rand, in which the Sugar Babies dancers employ strategically placed feathers. It could have been a silly, too-coy exercise, but Pepper's choreography is graceful and almost tender. (I wasn't crazy about Andrea Henrickson's lighting design for the number — even dimly lighted scenes need a sense of drama.)
- Kelly Brianne Hall's "Don't Blame Me" torch song number. Even when her vocals (or the sound design) faltered a little, she sold the routine with fierce determination and sheer sex appeal.
- Kristin Henson's comic timing, especially in a hilarious "Monkey Business" routine in which she expertly calibrates each and every word to maximum comic effect.
- Carsten's amusing turn as a randy judge interrogating an audacious widow (Whitehurst, who is great at playing deadpan).
- Ensemble member Julian Perez's graceful dancing.
- The recorded musical accompaniment, credited to conductor Roy Carlson, which sounded fuller and more like a Broadway orchestra than most GCP productions.
- Ginger Kay Lewis-Reed's sparkly costumes, including a glittery silver-gown get-up for Whitehurst that rivals her "Chrysler Building" dress from "The Producers."
Overall, it's a silly, light-hearted show that hearkens back to an earlier time. It's perhaps not the perfect fit for the most prudish among us — for that I'm thinking "A Good Company Christmas" across the street at the 2nd Space might be a better option — but the nostalgic "Sugar Babies" is a good reminder that both nice AND naughty have been around a lot longer than we might think.

Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy), Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives) and Carmine Giovinazzo (CSI: NY)
Senior editors Matt Mitovich, Mickey O'Connor and Tim Molloy answer your questions every Wednesday. Please, feel free to drop us a line at email@example.com.
Grey's Anatomy's Derek has got his mother's ring. Now what? — GayleMATT: Dude needs to unload it and quick, I'd say! Instead (sigh), he will hold onto it long enough for virtually every Seattle Gracer — Meredith excluded, of course — to learn of the bauble's being and in turn offer their two cents on when and how he should pop the Q. Will Der stick to his original plan? And if so, does it involve a meticulously crafted arrangement of candles?
I love Tom Scavo on Desperate Housewives this season. Any scoop? — MarciaMICKEY: Well, remember how it was Tom's dream to open an Italian restaurant, and how begrudgingly Lynette went along with the idea? Well, apparently now he has a different dream ...

Rory Cochrane by John Sciulli/WireImage.com
And this ain't no hallucination, either, Speedle fans. Rory Cochrane, whose dearly departed CSI: Miami character managed to resurface last season (as an ethereal vision of Delko's), has joined the ensemble of Fox's 24 for this coming season, sources tell me exclusively. Cochrane will be filling the recurring role of Greg Seaton, a crony of Jon Voight's big very baddie.Jack Bauer et al isn't the only good company Cochrane is keeping these days. He recently wrapped Michael Mann's Public Enemies, playing G-man Carter Baum alongside Christian Bale's Melvin Purvis, as they together pursue Johnny Depp's John Dillinger. What say you, "Speed freaks"? Short of another hard-to-explain Miami visit, is this a welcome return to the smaller screen for Cochrane? Matt Mitovich

Rory Cochrane and Adam Rodriguez, CSI: Miami
CSI: Miami (10 pm/ET, CBS) apparently has as many fans in the hereafter as it does on earth. Although crime-lab expert Tim Speedle (played by Rory Cochrane) died in Horatio Caine's arms after taking a bullet in Season 2, the character is about to make an encore. "Call it 'The Miracle on South Beach,'" says executive producer Ann Donohue. "Good old Speedle is back." "Specter" Speedle is more like it. Cochrane shows up in tonight's episode as a vision that haunts former colleague Eric Delko (Adam Rodriguez), who's suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. "It's very touching," Donohue says. "Speedle and Delko were great friends and now Speedle shows up to help solve a mystery involving a dead girl in an SUV at the beach. Speedle ends up leading Delko to the answer." C

(Adam Rodriguez and Rory Cochrane in CSI: Miami by Robert Voets/CBS
Eric Delko (Adam Rodriguez) will see dead people or at least one dead person. As a result of his posttraumatic stress disorder, the CSI: Miami agent will see the ghost of his fallen colleague Tim Speedle (Rory Cochrane), which will, for obvious reasons, send him into a downward spiral. "Delko is doing a good job at masking his trauma," Rodriguez told TV Guide at the CBS Monday Night Season Premiere party on Sept. 19. "But I think [a meltdown] is definitely a possibility."And while seeing the ghost is bad for Delko, Cochranes return is great for the cast. "Im happy to have my buddy back," says Rodriguez, who admitted last July that he was disappointed when Cochrane abruptly quit in 2004. "It wasnt the world he wanted to live in. He walked away to make himself happy."Unfortunately Cochranes return is short-lived hell only be on for two episodes. "I feel like he deserves to be here," says Emily Procter, who plays Calleigh Duquesne. "I wish he...

Wow! What a strong conclusion for whats sure to be recognized as one of the years best miniseries. The tone this time was definitely more of a piece with The Companys slow-building first part than last weeks globe-trotting actionfest. But the dark, regretful feeling that permeated every action, every conversation, was, in the end, the only way things could have turned out.Watching the complete breakdown of Leo (Alessandro Nivola) throughout his interrogation was shocking in part because of its swiftness, but more so because his only crime was being too loyal to the Company. Or so it seemed, until we found out he was the mole, Sasha, all along a fact he later revealed by shooting his best friend and godfather of his children in the gut and fleeing to the crumbling remains of his adopted homeland.Truly, it seems, the Cold War was a grand debacle, perhaps summed up best by Michael Keaton s Angleton in his greenhouse conversation with Chris O&...

Let me start off with a disclaimer: Im not familiar with the Robert Littell novel of the same name on which The Company is based. However, based on the Internet buzz, I know a lot of fans of the book have been very much anticipating this miniseries. So what I ask of you, readers, is that you be as understanding as you can about my lack of foreknowledge, while still feeling free to tell me whats what when I get it wrong. Thanks in advance. [end disclaimer]Well, we're only a third of the way in, but so far, I like what I'm seeing. Even abridged as it must be for TV, this is clearly a complex, multilayered story. The Company is juggling a large cast of international characters who are constantly double- and triple-crossing each other, but thankfully, I didn't have to strain too hard to keep it all straight. I don't know if the novel's focus was so squarely on the characters of Jack (Chris O'Donnell) and Yevgeny (Rory Cochrane), but the friends-turned-enemies situation set u...

Rory Cochrane by Robert Voets/CBS
Major spoilery update: Scroll down to the bottom of the story for details -- but do so at your own risk. I'm not quite sure how they're going to pull this off, but sources confirm that Rory Cochrane is returning to CSI: Miami this fall three years after his character was fatally shot in the line of duty.Cochrane who asked to be released from his contract back in the summer of 2004 because "he couldn't really handle the grind anymore" will appear in multiple episodes, beginning with this season's second. It's not clear, however, if he'll be reprising his role as presumed-dead criminalist Tim Speedle or playing a brand-new character. Tim's evil twin, perhaps? Which option would you prefer, Miami fans? And more importantly, does Cochrane's return qualify as a good thing? Sound off below!This just in: Sources confirm that Cochrane is definitely returning as Speedle. Discuss amongst yourselves...

Please look at the title of this entry. If you are a police officer and youve been shot, you are never, ever, ever, ever to say this. Ever. Even though Delko's getting shot was the worst kept secret on tvguide.com, I certainly wasnt expecting it to be anything like it was. Dare I say, CSI: Miami is giving us suspense again? When he got shot in the leg, I figured that was it. And then he just had to go and say, Im gonna be fine. Horatio didnt even have any sunglasses to fiddle with. He just had to stand there and actually emote. It was a watershed moment in the history of this show.I have to admit that when the first Clavo episode aired, I was definitely more concerned with passing my physics-for-poets science requirement, and so while I vaguely remember it, it doesnt have quite the same resonance for me as it may have for others. I like the character, though. Hes very over-the-top and so obviously evil that he almost makes up for the l...

Question: I never see any CSI: Miami Spoilers on here. What's the deal?
Answer: My colleague, Matt Webb Mitovich, got some good poop out of exec producer Ann Donahue yesterday, including news that Eva LaRue 's Natalia character "will be romantically involved with a male" cast member very soon. And don't rule out the return of Rory Cochrane, even though his Speed demon was killed off last season. "You know, I'll tell you what, it's always open," she says. "We love him, too; I've got to tell you, we love him. And we have kicked it around, different ways to go. Never say never."
Rory Cochrane may have shot himself in the foot before thieves put a bullet in his character's chest. Although CSI: Miami producers obliged his request to leave the show, there was a catch: He cannot do "any kind of television work — cable or otherwise" until 2008, he says, because he signed a six-year contract with the show.
The 31-year-old actor — who says he "couldn't really handle the grind anymore" — wasn't pleased with the way his character, Tim Speedle, was killed off in last month's season premiere. (He was fatally wounded when his gun malfunctioned during a shootout.) "It was lame," Cochrane says. "He got shot last year because of the same [gun malfunction]. It doesn't make sense. I mean, Speedle knows all these forensics things, and then he doesn't clean his gun?"
So has he committed career suicide? "Well, I never did TV before and I survived," says Cochrane, whose films include Dazed and

Nursery KG Admissions 2015-2016 - Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, Fbd
Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Delhi - Nursery, KG 2015-2016 Admissions
Is anyone aware of the schools that have started nursery admission process for 2014-15? I think Somerville International, Taj Expressway is starting it from 1st August 13.
Views: 54789
some more
there ara lot more but this site aloow only 7 mb in one go
Guys, just wanted to check if my understanding is right or not.For DPS Noida, We just need to fill the online form right now and wait for the communication from the school about next steps. We do not need to submit the physical copy of the form anywhere as of now and neither we have to pay any fees at this stage. Please confirm if this understanding is correct. I am a little confused.
hi prashant,
ur right. We need to fill online form. School authority will finalise the screening and e-mail us about the interaction date. At that time we need to submit the physical copy of the registration form and other doc. No money game..
Hi Lovika/Prashant
i m not sure about the declaration, on the time of submitting form they said result will be declare on 13th, but a guy i met in a school who said that he got call and ask for mock test on 10th. please confirm how can we come to know about Amity.
Plz let me knw the review for Somerville International School Sec 132 Noida
There nursery forms are out
Age Criteria is 3+
just one year old school.. trying to build repo... fitted with modern facility....
Hello, What is the feedback on Amity International School, Vasundhara Sector-1?
LVIS: Good Infrastructure. Focuses on both academics and activities
Amity Noida: Focuses on both academics and activities. As there are many activities in the school, the child grows a lot but they need equal contribution from parents which at times become a burden if both parents are working. Have heard from the teachers of that school, that parents get frustrated due to this and complain to teachers but teachers can't do much about this. So if you can manage the projects, activities and study...Amity Noida is a very good option to go for
No idea about other two schools
By when is the final result declared for Amity Noida ?
1)after all shortlisted have been through their 2nd round.
2)Just Like Apeejay ie after 3 -4 days of your interaction date

Once in a while, management will tell us to do the "secret move." This is far and away our favorite. The premise here is that we will move a user after hours -- so no one will notice. These are usually worth the extra 15 minutes we have to stay late just so we can observe the surprised looks the next day.
Occasionally, cubicle migration is instigated by dissension among the ranks. In these cases, the instigator is quickly identified by the way they walk. Rather than exhibiting the brow-beaten trod of those cast from their old location, the instigator struts, head held high, their goal achieved. Sometimes this movement causes a domino effect, working its way through a department like a funny YouTube video, as employees shuffle into a compatible order that appeases management, without affecting their fragile hierarchy of cubism.
Such is the way of the cube dwellers. Briefly taken from their natural habitat and placed in a new environment, only those with iron wills and multiple power strips will survive. Friendships will be broken even as new alliances are forged. Those with mini fridges will surely outlast those with extra storage.
As for us, with our new but dirty shirts, the IT staff will continue to bundle, unbundle, then bundle again another row of cables. We label a phone port for the umpteenth time and return to our desks. Our desks are easy to find: They've been in the same spot for 10 years.

The "RF Mesh Importer" displacement plugin loads BIN, MD, or LWO RealFlow mesh sequences. There are two ways to add a RealFlow mesh object to the scene. The first method is to add the "RF Mesh Importer" manually:
- Select "Items" tab and add a "Null" object to the scene, or press Ctrl/Cmd + N.
- Press p to open the object properties window.
- Select "Deform" tab.
- Add the "RF Mesh Importer" displacement plugin.
- Open the GUI by double-clicking on the "RF Mesh Importer" plugin.
- Click on the "File Path" button and select one BIN file from the sequence.
The plugin tries to recognize the name of the mesh and the padding size from the file name, and the start and end frame of the sequence. When the mesh is loaded successfully, the "Null" object is renamed to the name of the mesh.
The other way to add a RealFlow mesh object is by using the "Next Limit Plugin Manager" master plugin which executes the above steps automatically.
Using the "Next Limit Plugin Manager" is the preferred way. Without the "Next Limit Plugin Manager", the mesh object is saved with a LWO path for the scene file and LightWave prints a missing file error while loading. If the "Next Limit Plugin Manager" is added then it saves a "[mesh_name].lwo" file to the folder where the mesh sequence can be located and LightWave loads the scene successfully.
How to add the "RF Mesh Importer" displacement plugin.
A custom loader plugin is used for parsing the mesh files and convert them to a LightWave object frame by frame. The loader is added automatically with the RealFlow plugins. For keeping the surface settings between the frames, the plugin writes and reads a SRF surface file to and from the "Object Folder" with each iteration. A "Custom Surface" file can be set for the mesh. Because of this unique loading mechanism, the caching feature of the particle systems cannot be used for meshes.Do not use the same name (filename) when importing multiple mesh sequences to the same scene because objects could not be identified to apply the surface.
"Start frame" and "End frame" are set automatically after a correct file path is given. Later it can be changed, so the plugin will only render the mesh inside the specified interval.
Frames of the sequence can be shifted and the current frame can be locked. Additionally, the whole sequence can be inverted.
Network rendering is not possible with the mesh importer displacement plugin, because the object replace command is not allowed for the nodes. For network render the "RF Mesh Replacement" plugin has to be used.
"RF Mesh Importer" plugin parameters.
The parameters of the "RF Mesh Importer" setup window are:
- "File Path" is the path of one of the RealFlow mesh files from the .bin or .lwo sequence.
- "Name" is a read-only field. The name of the mesh comes from the name of the RealFlow mesh file. Recognized automatically when opening a mesh file.
- "Padding" sets the padding size of the RealFlow mesh file. Recognized automatically when opening a mesh file.
- "Object Folder" describes the path of the directory where the mesh surface file (.srf) is generated. Its default value is the directory where the .bin sequence can be located.
- "Custom Surface" defines a SRF surface file which will be used for the mesh's surface.
- "Blur Length" affects motion blur quality. RealFlow stores the mesh information of the previous frame into each mesh as an endomorph (speed). The plugin will morph in between frames and allows different motion blur settings for each mesh through the "Blur Length" multiplier.
- "Start frame" and "End Frame" are the start and end frame of the sequence.
- "Offset" defines the time shift of the imported sequence.
- "Lock Current Frame" keeps the current frame displayed.
- "Invert Sequence" inverts the file sequence.
Every vertex of a mesh has a velocity and texture UV attribute. These can be set on the "Vertices" tab of the "RF Mesh Importer" window. The user can define for every attribute that he or she wants to keep the original value stored in the mesh file ("Keep"), wants to override it by a custom expression ("Add") or does not want any value for the attribute ("No").
"RF Mesh Importer" attribute parameters.
When you import a mesh from RealFlow into LightWave, the UV Map is applied to the mesh if there is a "Texture Gizmo" daemon in the RealFlow scene.

I love this bedroom but think I'd prefer a reading lamp beside the bed rather than in the ceiling above. I would also need a tv on the wall opposite the headboard. It would be nice to have a window on both side walls too so I could get a nice cross breeze in the spring and summer. I have bookcases in my bedroom and am so glad I built them in when I did my cottage restoration.

Paul Goldschmidt discusses winning the Hank Aaron Award, awarded to the leading offensive player in the National League.
Paul Goldschmidt has picked up a piece of hardware this offseason.
Jason Kubel's fall from grace this year was widely noted, before his ignominious exit. But was Miguel Montero's campaign an even bigger disappointment?
From having to fight for a job in spring training to appearing in the All-Star Game. Safe to say 2013 was quite a ride for young D-backs prospect, Patrick Corbin.
In some ways, things unfolded as we expected. But if you had Chris Johnson as the best performer of the players involved, I'm sure there's a team who needs you as their GM.
Arizona used 17 men in relief roles this season, ranging from Joe Pateron's 2.1 innings to Josh Collmenter's 92 frames of work. Who delivered, and who was found wanting?
