TeleEye introduces new NX series network cams, video server
Solutions allow for remote surveillance via Internet, PSTN and mobile phones
TeleEye announced Monday the introduction of a complete range of NX series network video cameras and video server. The new NX series takes network video solutions to new heights by making IP and mobile surveillance a reality. Powered by SMAC-M multi-stream video compression technology, TeleEye NX provides optimal remote surveillance through Internet, PSTN and mobile communications.
TeleEye NX series consists of a single channel NX301 network video server converting analogue camera into IP-based or mobile surveillance, NX288 IR vandal resistance network dome and NX173 outdoor vandal resistant network dome. Moreover, the NX series is fully supported by a wide range of propriety video management software.
TeleEye NX is incorporated with SMAC-M multi-stream coder. Users can experience seamless video transmission via LAN, ADSL and mobile and excellent DVD quality recording performance without compromise. TeleEye NX records 60 percent longer and transmits 50 percent faster than MPEG-4.
With TeleEye M-303 mobile video monitoring software, users can view live video from TeleEye NX on mobile phone while managing network videos on PC. Remote surveillance can truly be anywhere, anytime and anyhow.
If fixed network is not accessible in the camera locations, for instance, in rapid deployment applications or traffic monitoring projects, TeleEye NX, with SMAC-M, can deliver live video through HSDPA, UMTS, GPRS or WiFi with bursty and limited network resources.
TeleEye NX Series is incorporated with specifications you need such as day & night operation, vandal resistant, weather proof, Power over Ethernet (PoE), event management and many more.
TeleEye NX288 is an ultra hi-resolution IR network dome using 1/3†CCD, HQ1 technology. It has a vari-focal auto-iris IR lens and 10 IR LEDs. It features switchable IR cut filter, IP66, vandal resistant and 3-axis adjustment. TeleEye NX288 produces both accurate colour video under natural light and clear monochrome video when its IR illumination turns on. TeleEye NX288 is a true day and night camera that is designed particularly for outdoor use.
The IP66 and vandal resistant TeleEye NX173 comes with f=3.6mm fixed iris lens and its minimum illumination 0.5 Lux. It is suitable for professional outdoor IP surveillance use.
With our efficient SMAC-M video compression technology, more TeleEye NX devices can be accommodated into one network without the concern of affecting the overall performance. The system is highly scalable and expandable by adding more network cameras or video servers at anytime you need. When using TeleEye WX-M16 Multi-site Software, videos up to 16 cameras can be monitored and recorded in a single PC via LAN or the Internet.
With TeleEye NX, you can easily build a professional IP surveillance solution without further investment on installation and maintenance of conduits and video cables. The Power over Ethernet configuration eliminates the needs to put in more power cable. The total cost of ownership of your networking infrastructure and video surveillance solution becomes lower.
TeleEye NX network cameras and video server allow the system administrator to set up different login accounts for individual users with different user's authorities. The system administrator can authorize a certain set of users to carry out certain functions while he can restrict the access of certain camera from some other users.

Finally! It appears as if Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid have finally agreed upon the transfer of world class midfielder Luka Modric.
According to reports flying in from England the Croatian midfielder Luka Modric will indeed play for Real Madrid this season. Tottenham Hotspur has agreed to transfer Luka Modric to Real Madrid for €42 million. The deal was agreed on Saturday, but it will be completed on Monday.
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho was suffering from sleepless nights due because of the delay in Luka Modric's transfer. With just five days remaining in the transfer window Real Madrid increased efforts to bring Luka Modric to Santiago Bernabeu and well their efforts paid off.
Luka Modric has been under the spotlight since last summer when Chelsea and Manchester United attempted to lure him in. Since then a number of top notch clubs have attempted to sign him in, but the hefty price tag on Luka Modric drove away most clubs. Nonetheless, Paris-Saint Germain, Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus tried to sign him again this season.
The 26-year-old midfielder has had one foot out of White Hart Lane ever since Real Madrid stepped in to sign him. Luka Modric handed in a transfer request this summer and threatened to leave the club as a free agent next summer if he wasn't traded off.
Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy begged Luka Modric to extend his contract with Whites of England, but the Croatia international couldn't snub his dream move to Real Madrid.
Although, Luka Modric's deal with Real Madrid falls short of the £40 million Daniel Levy demanded, the London club wants to put an end to this long and tiring transfer saga.
According to rumors, Luka Modric has inked a five-year-contract with Real Madrid. The transfer has been beneficial for Tottenham Hotspur as well. Tottenham Hotspur have now established goodwill with Real Madrid, which means they will be able to sign in players on loan and ask Real Madrid for exhibition matches.
The new Tottenham Hotspur manager Andres Villas-Boas is expected to call a news conference on Monday in which he will talk about Luka Modric's transfer to Real Madrid and the midfielder he is going to sign in as his replacement.
Tottenham Hotspur finally agree to €42 million offer from Real Madrid for Luka Modric

so if you even remotely care
I'm right here now :
I wanted to show some of my drawings to my friend and gosh
I really need to upload some new stuff
thIS IS ALL SO HORRIBLE MY GOD
Now I feel like making a new account with slightly better stuff but I'd hate to loose my 300 followers I've collected during those past…3 years? /sobbing
"Take me or leave me" from the film "RENT"
Is an official Steve/Tony song. Period.
I promise I'm going to turn it into a full comic someday
I'm really not! I'm just preparing for one of the most important tests in my education, and I can hardly find time to do anything, let alone draw.
To top that off, my laptop is broken, and I have to take turns to get my sister's laptop, so I'm barely ever on it, AND I can't find a cable to my laptop.
If everything goes alright, and and I'll pass my exams, on 21th of May I'LL BE FREE 'TILL OCTOBER YAY
and I'll have plenty of time to draw, and I think I can rely on natowesyfy to borrow me her tablet sometimes (since she'll be busy with her srs buisness university stuff )
And, I have maaaany ideas, because as the Spring has come, I fell with superhusbands all over again (for some reason I associate Spring and Summer with Superhusbands and ALWAYS find myself falling in love with them all over again ), and since I spend my evenings reading wordsplat's fics (as usual, when I'm in Steve/Tony need )
So, the ones who've waited for me to upload something ( I assume it's a minority ) - HERE I COME
And for those who haven't - Well I don't know what possibly I could say to you. Hope that maybe you'll like it?
I'll try to upload something in the meantime though, I still try to draw sometime, but I don't suppose those were meant for anyone to see.
Sorry for my gibberish. Take care!
it's been a long time since I spoke to you guys
I doubt anyone missed my ramblings though
I'm not very active because I've got this horrible time at school
I'm two months (!!!!!????? /panics) before my final-super-special-important maturity exam at school
If that wasn't stressful enough, we're at WWII at history and literature classes, and that's REALLY not that uplifting. Auschwitz and GULags, and it's kind of… making things a lot worse?
The stress and my freak outs, and I'm a ticking time bomb at the moment, just waiting to blow up.
And there's that recurring thought I won't pass the tests, (less possible), or I won't do it well enough to get to the uni (entirely possible) and I'd love to study English on a university but sjkfjkdslf(because I like literature and I like English oh my god I love English so much and I'd love to learn more about it dfklgjfklgjfdklg ) I'm constantly scared I'm not good enough (still: quite possibly so )
Awwww bby u//.//u
You have no idea how much it means to me! I don't get too much feedback and wow, you really made my day
And there's a reward for being sweet and thoughtful!

hello, I am looking forward to buying my first dslr and trying out some hdr photos. I really want to buy the nikon d40 maily for its price, quality and size (size is important here) but I've just learnt that it doesn't do bracketing.
How would I be able to take hdr shots then? Would taking a single raw file and then adjust the exposure later in the computer be the only way? Or take exposures manually? I'd be glad if anyone could help me with this question! thanks!
Bracketing is not really suitable for HDR as the available range is not wide enough to cover the entire dynamic range.
It isn't difficult though, simply put your camera into manual, set the aperture to the setting you want and then adjust the shutter speed to get the optimum exposure. Once you have that adjust the shutter to 4 stops under exposed, take a shot, move to 2 stops under, then optimum, then 2 stops over.
Check the histogram of the first and last shots, on the first one (under) there should be space on the right and the last one (over) should have space on the left. If either of the extremes are not showing space on the histogram wind the shutter up/down another 2 stops from that point and take another. Most of the time the -4 to +2 range will cover everything though.
One more thing, your camera will be set to increment 1/3 of a stop at a time, so 2 stops is 6 clicks on the shutter adjustment.

text: Ill. Man Acquitted of Stabbing Son With Scissors BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP)--A southwestern Illinois jury has cleared a man of charges that he wrongly stabbed his son in the neck with scissors. The Belleville News-Democrat reports that a St. Clair County jury deliberated two hours before acquitting 57 year old Charles Phillips of rural Belleville on Wednesday. He was charged with domestic battery and aggravated battery. Police responding to a reported domestic disturbance Dec. 4 at Phillips' home found a wounded Michael Phillips, who told them his father stabbed him during an argument. The younger Phillips was treated at a hospital and was released. During Charles Phillips' trial, his attorneys argued that their client has an amputated leg and a disabled arm, and that he stabbed his son in self-defense after being abused for days. 01 30 14 by Newsroom News management powered by Xpression News


text: 29 February 2012 Photobooth 2009 An inquiry into the new phenomenon driven by our intensifying ability to exchange and circulate self images has driven an inquiry into one's ability to capture and present one's image and present the self as one wants to be seen. In the context of Trinidad & Tobago's Erotic Art Week 2009, Rodell Warner pushed this inquiry into the realm of how people imaged themselves as erotic, and how willing they might be to share those images. He created "the Photobooth"; a small, temporary studio space that provided visitors with privacy and a remote control that triggered a stationary camera. With their signed permission, the images that participants captured of themselves were exhibited to the public the following night.

"Art is not truth. Art is a lie that enables us to recognize truth." So spaketh Picasso. Humans love to lie. And amidst this reign of the most mendacious US government in history, we thought it only fitting to have an issue that is all lies all the time, or at least a few truths about some outright lies, as well as some deceitful poetry and fiction that ring painfully true. Deceit beats at the heart of the doomed yet un-relinquishable affair in Amy Bloom's story "I Love to See You Coming, I Hate to See You Go." Memory is the liar in "A Late Afternoon Swim" Peter LaSalle's short story, while self-delusion fuels the loveable anti-hero in Nancy Reisman's story "False Starts." The issue is also chockablock with nonfiction liars—Robert Arellano wrestles with money, Nina Kossman recounts her days as an FBI "counterintelligence" agent, Charles D'Ambrosio details the disquieting experience of being fictionalized in his ex-girlfriend's novel, and Ann Hood writes about how all comfort is a lie when faced with extreme tragedy.

Sang Thai Restaurant has garnered local praise for its pan-Asian cuisine; diners even crowned it Favourite Thai Restaurant on the 2012 Tri-City News A LIst. Inside, bright red walls and hanging lamps surround guests as they dine on Thai and Asian specialties, including curry, fried rice, and clay-pot dishes. Wooden pillars divide the sleek, minimalist dining room into two sections. A bar decorated with martini glasses and figurines stands next to a wall of illuminated bamboo that frequently attracts botanists eager to nibble on it.
Though patrons only visit three restaurants during the Around the World Food Tour, their taste buds travel on a global expedition. Each jaunt begins at Caribbean eatery The Reef, where participants sample plantain chips, a curried chickpea dish, coco prawns, and jerk wings that are surprisingly kind to hunger pangs. Diners can pair offerings with housemade ginger beer, a pineapple shake, or house wine before moving on to Bua Thai Cuisine. Once inside the welcoming, multihued confines, they can dig into classic dishes such as pad thai and chicken satay while sipping Thai–style iced tea and young coconut juice. The final stop, Siddhartha's Indian Kitchen, rewards bellies with potato cakes, vegetable and chicken pakora, chai tea, and house wine or beer.
There's a comforting vibe at Divine Indulgence Café. Even though there's no family currently residing inside, the warm, repurposed house keeps its homelike atmosphere. The dining areas evoke the feeling of a well-worn abode with dark-wood furnishings and shelved knickknacks. The coziness extends to the menu as well, surfacing in comfort food dishes such as fish tacos or guacamole burgers made with house-made beef patties, Havarti cheese, bacon, guacamole salsa, and fresh baguettes. Decadent slices of cake and more than 20 different flavors of tea also add to the cafe's homeyness, as does the the baristas' constant reminders not to play ball inside.
Cut from the same restauranteur-cloth that created Thai House Restaurant Group, Charm Modern Thai infuses the culture's classic fare with modern twists to give Vancouver diners an authentic Thai eating experience without having to hitchhike to Bangkok again. Dig into dinner with the duck spring rolls ($9), acclaimed by Vancouver magazine as one of the "Best Things to Eat" in 2009, or opt for the mildly spicy lemongrass mussels ($11). Super-soupers can slide spoons into the tom kha lobster bisque ($9), while the larb organic gai salad ($12) tumbles organic chicken in a mix of herbs, spices, chilies, and fish sauce. Entreewise, Charm sticks to staples such as the pad thai ($14, available with chicken or prawns), the tamarind duck ($20), and the pineapple-braised short ribs ($17), which bring together meat and fruit in harmonious fashion.
Wok Box was founded in 2004 in downtown Edmonton, Alberta, and successfully expanded to 60 locations throughout North America by offering fast pan-Asian cuisine full of nutritious ingredients. The menu ornaments chopsticks with Thai, Indian, Cambodian, and Vietnamese cuisine, and many of its options cater to vegans, vegetarians, and those with wheat allergies. At every location, patrons delight in chicken, beef, and vegetables clinging to jasmine rice and noodles while watching flat-screen TVs and celebrating this Chinese New Year, the Year of the Heffalump.
Ban Chok Dee—which translates to house of good luck —captivates visitors with a spread of colourful, fragrant, and expertly balanced curries, noodle dishes, and rice plates. Traditional entrees, from pad thai to spring rolls, offset modern variations, such as the Pad Ped Jungle—crispy pork sautéed with shredded bamboo shoots in a spicy sauce—all of which draw from a palette of zesty sauces, potent chili oils, and creamy, coconut-milk-based broths. While embarking on their culinary voyage, guests gather amid leafy potted greenery and black-lacquered wood accents for a calm respite. Together, the food and atmosphere were voted Best Thai restaurant of 2011 and 2012 by readers of the Langley Advance.
To enhance the appreciation for Thai cuisine, owner and executive chef Parinya teaches lessons in how to create flavourful meals using simple techniques and telekinesis. The hands-on courses demystify ingredients, equipment, and the steps necessary to form four dishes, finishing up with a fun and delicious tasting.

From the first time I heard a Seether song ("Fine Again" from Nintendo's 1080 Avalanche) I knew it was something. Then, after annoying my mom to high hell from repeating the song every time I played the game, "Remedy" came on the radio. It was love at first listen. I knew I needed to hear more.
It came to the point where I was in Chicago for a skydiving convention with my parents when my mom and I walked into a store. I had the money and knew I wanted to buy a Seether album. I had to choose between Disclaimer II or Karma and Effect. I ultimately chose K&E and the rest is history.
(I kinda want to start a music blog, either on Tumblr or another website. It was my goal for this summer but I never got around to it….maybe now it will happen)

Boston Marathon
Running for a cure, running for a friend
Londonderry resident Gary Sloper will run in the Boston Marathon on Monday to raise funds in honor of a friend battling cancer. (Courtesy)
Gary Sloper, 37, said he never thought of himself as a marathon runner, but that all changed when he learned that his close friend Louie Smirnioudis had been diagnosed with lung cancer.
Sloper said the news hit his family hard.
"We were just devastated," he said. "Then I got thinking - what could be the best way to raise funds for the cause, while honoring Louie?"
Though he'd only taken up running about a year ago, Sloper soon had his sights set on the Boston Marathon.
As the regional vice president of pre-sales engineering for Century Link, Sloper had participated in a half-marathon his workplace sponsored last year to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Last winter he ran a full marathon at Hampton Beach and he's been training full-time ever since.
"I really wasn't a runner and running a half-marathon was more than I'd ever dreamed," he said.
A visit to Smirnioudis in his hospital room at Dana Farber served as motivation.
"It was really eye-opening and I thought a lot about what Louie's been going through," Sloper said. "Even though training is tough, there's an end in sight. It's just a sacrifice you do. For Louie, things aren't so easy or simple."
Over the long winter months, Sloper said he'd rise extra early so he could be jogging on the road by 4 a.m., well before his daily commute.
"It's funny what becomes part of your regular routine," Sloper said. "For me it became the new normal to wear a head lamp and jog along in pitch darkness."
The family has known Smirnioudis, who owns the Windmill Restaurant in Concord, for more than 20 years.
Smirnioudis' lungs were filled with fluid last winter and he couldn't walk down the stairs. He spent the winter months in a hospital bed as doctors aggressively treated his cancer.
Now feeling a bit better and resting at home, Smirnioudis will soon learn if his most recent treatments have been a success.
Sloper said his friend's perseverance is truly inspiring.
"This is a man who came here from Greece many years ago with $20 in his pocket," Sloper said. "He's worked so hard for everything he's accomplished and he always gives back."
Sloper said his friend opens up his restaurant to the local homeless each Thanksgiving, where he provides a free holiday meal to neighbors in need.
When Sloper told Smirnioudis about his plans to run in the Boston Marathon, "He said, 'Don't do it for me. Do it for someone else who needs help'," Sloper said.
As of Wednesday evening, Sloper had raised more than $6,000 for Dana Farber. He's hoping to raise at least $2,000 more by Marathon Monday.

Cerise – As you meander along a charming Paris side street, where a small breeze causes the cherry trees – cerisiers – sprinkle you with lovely sugar blooming petals. Cerise is an embrace of cherry blossom, fresh plum, and soft white blooms warmed by exotic vanilla.
Lilacs & Violets – I am increasingly coming to the conclusion that whatever I believe about this Scentsy scent, everyone else likes it.

Two Harbors – Run off to an an adventurous, wild and seductive journey to far-away shores with tart Meyer lemon and a robust, refreshing and sparkling at the same time, lime, warmed by sweet vanilla and golden amber rays.

Now in a bigger package, Scentsy wax bars are purposely produced for only wickless candles and solely for all Scentsy candle warmers. With clever break-apart portions, you can divide each of the Scentsy scents into separate warmers or mix and match the fragrances.
Clean Breeze – I can sense an exciting contrast between a modern, layered aroma and that of a traditional all-around fragrance. Clean Breeze weaves the white ornate notes into a composition that will ring a bell with you of crisp, clean laundry. This Scentsy scent doesn't have an intense flowery fragrance, but a makeup that is bright and light.
Luna – This fragrance is remarkable, uncomplicated and delightful. It joins the appeal of the white florals – jasmine, sweet pea and freesia. These Scentsy bars are lively, sparkling and spontaneous. It also features juicy berries and sandalwood shining like moonlight. So unbelievably sexy and delightful.
Perfectly Pomegranate – Dark and juicy pomegranate with a pleasant berry finale; this is timeless.
Black Raspberry Vanilla – A truly adoring and erotic blend. The fragrance takes on an intensive aroma of unadulterated and fruity aphrodisiac composed of mouth-watering, sun-sweetened dark berries intertwined warmly with enticing nuances of warm vanilla. This would be a fantastic Scentsy scent pak for a school locker or gym bag.
Pixie – Set off on your pink pepper journey with Pixie, a playful mixture of pink pepper, mandarin, and heliotrope, exaggerated by exotic teakwood and vanilla oak.

Like every grandparent, I think my grandchildren are "gifted". Not only are they highly intelligent (in my humble opinion), but they are also blessed with many material gifts every birthday and Christmas. They're like most American children– they have so many toys that they don't play with, most of their toys are just clutter.
This year, my wife and I decided to give them gifts that are educational as well as fun. In fact, they may even be able to use these "toys" for school projects. Here are 4 of the Science Projects we bought at for our grandchildren this Christmas:

Time For The Harbor Investment Conference UPDATED
- Posted by ToddSullivan
- on February 12th, 2013
UPDATE: I am hearing Ackman will use his allotted time to speak as a pure Q&A with the audience. Given recent events, I am sure it is going to be well worth seeing…
This a great event for a great cause. All proceeds from the event go to the Boys & Girls Harbor. I'll be there so if you decide to come, please stop by and say hello.
Registration 12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m. | Speakers 1:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.
Networking Reception to Follow
JPMorgan Chase Conference Center
2nd Floor Auditorium, 383 Madison Ave., New York, NY
The 2013 Harbor Investment Conference is pleased to welcome David Weinreb, CEO of The Howard Hughes Corporation; Andrew Feldstein, CEO and CIO of BlueMountain Capital Management; and Mick McGuire, Founder and Managing Member of Marcato Capital Management to its already impressive speaker roster. They join Pershing Square Capital Management Founder and CEO Bill Ackman, Bow Street Managing Partner Howard Shainker, and UBS AG Managing Director Mona K. Sutphen. To learn more about the conference, please see our website.
. Past speakers have included Bruce Berkowitz, Steve Roth, Boaz Weistein and others.
Given the timing of the event, one has to wonder if Ackman uses it to rebut recent bull cases for $HLF. He did say that Pershing would respond to $HLF "in the coming weeks". This does match that time frame.
The mission of Boys & Girls Harbor is to empower children and their families to become full, productive participants in society through education, cultural enrichment, and social services.
About the Harbor:

6161 Delmar Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63130
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Delmar/ The Loop
Kurt Warner did a lot of amazing things on the football field back in the "greatest show on turf" days, but he'd be the first one to tell you his most amazing accomplishments are achieved off the field. His charitable organization, the Kurt Warner First Things First Foundation, aids families through coat drives, building and maintaining pediatric recreation centers in hospitals, working with high schools to educate students on disability awareness and providing family trips to Disneyland for children with life-threatening illnesses. Most amazingly, Kurt and Brenda Warner participate in all of these activities as well -- they're true leaders in the practice-what-you-preach game, a game that has shockingly few role models. The Warners return to St. Louis for another charitable mission, this time with the Night With Champions at the Pageant (6161 Delmar Boulevard; 314-726-6161 or www.kurtwarner.org). You'll enjoy food from local restaurants and bid in the silent auction, followed by Kurt and current Rams quarterback Sam Bradford discussing football while Joe Buck emcees. Doors open at 5 p.m., and tickets for the full evening are $51. Tickets for the stage program only are $31, and admission begins at 6:15 p.m. in that case.

text: Local Resident Still Pushing To Be Heard Last month the Galesburg City Council approved the sale of 616 Indiana Avenue to the Galesburg CILA Holmes Partnership even with the objections of local residents. Galesburg resident and neighbor to 616 Indiana Avenue Rosalee Ballenger has not given up fighting to change the Mayor and councils decision allowing for a group home on the property. At Monday's council meeting Ballenger says she attempted to address Mayor Sal Graza and City Council Members regarding a petition she created but says she was denied the option to speak. Ballenger tells WGIL she thinks the Mayor was wrong to deny her others who signed her petition to speak."I feel that he was trying to silence my voice, my daughters voice, and the voice of the people who signed the petition. And I don't think that was treating me fairly, or those people or my daughter fairly."Ballenger says she was told she could give a copy of the petition to the Mayor's secretary after the meeting. She says so far she hasn't heard from the Mayor's office about the petition. 10 04 12 by Newsroom News management powered by Xpression News

Septic Water Seeping into Groundwater on K-Beach
David Yragui of Redoubt Plumbing & Heating says K-Beach residents don't realize they could be pumping contamination into the groundwater and damaging their septic systems.
Yragui says that the water table in the area is alarmingly high, and has already begun flooding crawlspaces in the area between Mile 11 and 16 of K-Beach Rd…
Yragui: "People don't understand the problem, because they don't see the water, but they need to check their crawl spaces. They need to see if their crawl spaces have water in them, and if they do, call a hydrologist, or make people aware of what's going on. Check the monitor tubes on their leach fields and see if their leach fields are underwater. It's not advisable to pump a septic tank when the water's as high as it is. There's people that're pumping their septic tanks and the sewage, the grey water, is on top of the ground now."
The Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management said they're aware of the issue and have been studying the area along with State hydrologists. They say it's still unclear whether the high water table is a result of last year's flooding, or if there's another core issue.
Yragui said he's concerned that it will soon be too cold to take any action, and septic tanks could be seriously damaged over the winter if they're incorrectly pumped at this time.
KSRM will continue to follow this story as it develops.

Four-star strongside defensive end and longtime LSU commitment, Davon Godchaux (Plaquemine, La.Plaquemine) took an official visit to check out the SEC champion Auburn Tigers this past weekend and came away thoroughly impressed.
"It was pretty good. I love it," Godchaux said after his visit to Auburn. "I love everything about it, seriously. I love everything."
The 6-4, 285-pound defensive end is the nation's No. 147 player overall, No. 10 strongside end and the No. 11 player in Louisiana and could potentially slide inside at tackle, so is there reason to be concerned form the LSU end after such a positive visit?
"Yes, it's going to be a hard decision," said Godchaux, who added he is "100 percent committed to LSU."
LSU is trying to add to it's crop of defensive linemen with Breeland Speaks and Travonte Valentine two tackles high on LSU's board, so the potential loss of Godchaux would sting, especially to an SEC west rival.
However, LSU will get a chance on Jan. 24 to get momentum back in their corner when Godchaux takes his official visit and remind him about all the reasons about why he committed to LSU in the first place at the end of September.
He also has an official visit to Florida on Jan. 31 before making his final decision on national signing day on Feb. 5.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This School SUCKS there is soo much bullying that goes on ! NO-ONE does anything about it!
This school has been the worst school that I have seen while being in the military. The school does not adhear to their own bullying policy. The victim gets punished instead of the other way around. I have overhear the principal tell a student to stay home from school and let the other child cool off before returning to school. The administration will not call a parent back even after six phone calls. I have even stopped by the office only to be told that the principal is in a meeting and he would have to get back to me. The bullying does not stop with the students either. Some of the teachers even laugh at the victim. If I wasn't stuck in a lease, I would have taken my children out of the school. Needless to say, if you are not from this area, this is not the school you want to send your children to. I will not be sending my children back to this school next year.
I was a student there. I think the school have awesome teachers. They really teach the students very good. The staff is very friendly. When it came to academics I think they did a great job.
They do not let the students shower or change after P.E. even though they make them run and sweat. These are 12 year old kids and older, that is digusting and unhygienic.
I myself went to Parkland middle as well as my son and daughter. When I compare Parkland to any other middle school in the northeast, this middle school is the bell of the ball; compared to the rest of El Paso I believe it is among the best. The school buildings appearance, architecture, and indoor facilities such as the classrooms, labs, gym, and cafeteria are great for the kids and create a positive environment. The teachers and staff are friendly and do a great job. My son and daughter never had an issue with any of the teachers or staff, and enjoyed their middle school experience.
Myself and my son went to this school and I think that the school has come a long way from when I went there in the 80's..I agree with the no lockers...It prevents the kids from being late to classes, hiding drugs and things in them, as well as not being able to say 'oops it's in my locker' The assistant principal helped my child tremendously If u think that the Jr high making them have loads of different supplies is bad, wait until they get to high school....
Parkland Middle school is a great school, which has quality teachers who are highly skilled and work hard with each student. This school has great learning oportunities available.
Absolutely Wonderful! The academic programs are based on state mandated guidelines (TEKS), there are a plethora of extracurricular activities for a variety of talents, and a higher-than-average parental involvement is evident.
My daughter has been in this school for nine weeks. I was very surprised at the school not having lockers for the kids to keep their supplies in. I was also very surprised at the amount of differant supplies that were needed. It seemed that every class required a differant type of folder or type of paper. College ruled paper here, preferrated paper there, folders with clasps here, pocket folders there. And a cassette tape? I was also very disappointed in the fact that the students are required to follow the dress code that was established for them, but the teachers aren't required to adhere to the dress code established for them.
I was shocked at the amount of school supplies that is required of my daughter to bring to school. She has to carry loads of books on her back pack and the school has NO lockers for the students. This could cause a back promblem to my child and the rest of the children that have to carry this big loads of books from class to class.
This school does not have the caring of students that most schools have.They don't show caring about the students future. The principal does not get involved with the parents. My child was at this school for 2 years and never did I see the principal only the asst.principal who also had the attitude of not caring.
Parkland Middle School has been very strong at the point that I feel our children are in a very critical stage. One strength I see in this school is 'discipline'. Which is very important in a middle school. My children's teachers have portrayed a very positive and encouraging atmosphere in class. Teachers who taught my children were able to strengthen my children's weak point. Their attitudes, of most them, were very enthusiastic and contagious, always trying to make a difference. The school's weakest point is probably-parent involvement. Coming from a school which I volunteered for 8yrs and that feels parents are a key to our children's education, I was disappointed that in three yrs that I've had my children at this school, I've been called once and it was a late notice. Let us not forget how important it is for the child to know that school, teacher, etc. and parents have a very good relationship with each other.

Why did Hamlet pretend to be crazy?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Hamlet pretended to be crazy for several closely related reasons. He pretended to be crazy to make people think he was no threat, to distract attention from his investigation into his father's death, and so he could say outlandish things without striking a nerve.
Initially, Hamlet feigns his insanity to distract Getrude and Claudius from his true intentions of exposing his uncle for the murder of his father. We know his is pretending to be crazy because he mentions it several times to Horatio.
"I am but mad north-north-west, when the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw"(Act 2 Scene 2 Lines 378-379).
Many people question whether his seeing his father's ghost was real or not and so that also factors in if he was pretending to be crazy or maybe he was crazy all along and his uncle never murdered his father. However, we know this is not true because Hamlet was not the only to see his fathers ghost.
Personally, I believe that Hamlet was genuinely pretending to be insane at the beginning. But after he contemplates suicide and the scene with Ophelia saying he loved her once, he drove himself to insanity. For example, when he saw his father's ghost in his mothers bedroom, Gertrude did not see him. I believe that to be a sign that Hamlet drove himself to insanity which ultimately leads to his downfall.

I just don't understand why some people are so hung up on this. Why is this a source of angst for people? It's like your whole identity is wrapped up in phony behavioral displays that aren't even productive. Teach your girl to mow a lawn and shoot a rifle for crying out loud. Do you want her to end up selling sex or being in a money-based sexual relationship because she is too incompetent to do anything? Or in constant danger of being fired for incompetence if she does get a job? Teach her how to handle physical reality. If you're so concerned about your daughter getting drafted, then oppose the draft. That is what you should be doing as a Tea Partier anyway. You can't argue for free markets, then turn around and advocate people-as-slaves.

The U.S. hardware maker recently leaked details on its new 24-inch, 4K monitor: the Dell UltraSharp 24 Monitor (UP2414Q). Spotted on Friday by BSN and other news outlets, the LED monitor features a 3,840 x 2,160 resolution display — a 185 pixel per inch (PPI) density — with nearly half the total surface area of 32-inch "Ultra HD" monitors from Dell, Sharp, Asus, and others. The UltraSharp 24 boasts the highest pixel density in a Dell monitor yet, according to the hardware maker, but it's not the highest on the market: IBM's T220 and T221 monitors sport an insane 204 PPI, for example. But the little UltraSharp boasts some impressive specs beyond its resolution: A 178º vertical / 178º horizontal viewing angle 1.07 billion colors (produced by an 8-bit panel with Advanced Frame Rate Control) 99% AdobeRGB and 100% sRGB color coverage 2-million-to-one maximum dynamic contrast ratio HDMI, DisplayPort, mini-DP, four USB 3.0 ports, and six-in-one card reader Additionally, the panel weighs in at just over 10 pounds and is made with more than 25 percent recycled plastics. Dell has yet to reveal a price tag or launch date for its UltraSharp 24 monitor, but we've reached out to the company for details and will be sure to keep you posted as we learn more. For context, Dell's 32″ UltraSharp monitor costs $3,500.

We are all creatures of habit and like things to remain the same. Continuity makes us feel safe and general most people don't like surprises. While safety is important and is the foundation for many peoples lives, constant continuity can be a little boring. If you need an example just walk downstairs from your bedroom into your living room and sit on the couch. The odds are you have seen this scenery before hundreds of times and it is still the exact same. You could practically walk through your house with your eyes closed and you wouldn't skip a beat. Isn't it time to change things up? If you are ready to add some color and spice into your home you should call triple a blinds and get started by replacing your window treatments.
You don't need a multi-million-dollar makeover or a complete home renovation to add some excitement back into your house. By doing something as simple as painting the walls or adding new window treatments you can give an old familiar room and exciting new look and feel. Calling AAA blinds will make this transition easier than you ever thought possible because they have a wide selection of Hunter Douglas custom blinds in their showroom and they also send a designer out to your home to do in-home consultation.
The first up in changing things around would be to visit their showroom. If you are that bored with your house the odds are you haven't seen the inside of a design showroom for home decoration can sometime. There've been many advances in home decoration and in particular in the design of window treatments so set aside some time and bring in samples to match for color. Once you're at AAA blinds and in the showroom you will work with the designer and it'll show you all of their products which can be custom fitted to your window size. They're experts at installation and measuring so you can leave that up to them.
The second step obviously then will be to schedule your in-home appointment which will usually be about a week out. I like to schedule appointments like this for the early morning because if all goes well and quickly you can spend the rest of your day enjoying or tinkering with the new set up. Your designer and installer will show up with a host of materials and you can take your time seeing how the products look in your own home with your own lighting. The great thing about Hunter Douglas shades are that they help defuse direct sunlight and they can be pulled down from the top or up from the bottom. Because AAA blinds purchases Hunter Douglas shades and shutters in Bohlke they can offer competitive pricing and exceptional value. This design company is locally owned and operated so if there's ever an issue with the sizing, installation or function of these products you can take them back or call them to come to your house and service the material.

Find your perfect pub...
Sportsman, Chadderton
FancyaPint?'s review...
Saturday night at the Sportsman is a good snapshot of local life: lads and lasses dressed up, presumably off elsewhere later, a birthday party in the corner, fellas watching the football extended highlights and a few older people dressed up for a weekend drink. It is probably the archetypal community local. A fair few things let it down, however. The music was pumping out at maximum volume, for the benefit of no-one but at significant detriment to normal conversation. If it was an attempt to generate atmosphere, it was unnecessary - there was plenty of that already. We're also not sure how many people there, young or old, really appreciated choices like 'Invaders Must Die' by hardcore band The Prodigy. We apparently chose a bad week, as there can often be a band in situ, playing classic hits. The beer choice was also generic or just plain terrible (Toby Light, anyone?), while the Guinness had also seen better days. It was also lucky the punters were providing the atmosphere, for the decor certainly didn't help. A regular here in the 80's recalled to us the original Art Deco snugs and dark wood interior, now replaced by a pastel, travel lodge, offensively inoffensive mode of decor. Ultimately not the worst pub in the world, but there are better in the area.

Just wondering if there is anything about this recipe that I should think about changing. The only thing i've thought about changing was adding the 1lb of dme at 10min for a late addition. Can someone re-calculate ibu's for me if I were to do this?
I'll be doing a 3.5 gallon boil and topping off to 5 gallons.
numbers from the original recipe are 6.5%abv and 67.5 IBU's
If I need to give you any additional info let me know. This kit is the Simcoe IPA from midwest supplies.
1. Steep crushed grains for 10-30 minutes at 155 degrees.
2. Add malt extract(6lb lme/1lb dme) while brew pot is off the burner.
3. Bring to a boil and add ½ oz Simcoe bittering hops. (60 Minutes)
4. Add 1/2 oz Simcoe flavor hops for the last 40 minutes.
5. Add 1 oz Simcoe flavor hops with 20 minutes remaining.
6. Add 1 oz Simcoe aroma hops for last 2 minutes then remove from heat.
*edit* US-05 yeast
Thanks all
First off, the OG is a bit low for a true IPA, but don't let that stop you from making a beer that you want to make.
Beersmith shows an IBU of 58.6 for the late addition of the DME.
If I were making this recipe, I would probably add 1 oz at 60 min, 0.25 oz at 15 min, and 0.75 oz at flameout. Use 3 lbs LME at the start, and add 4 lbs LME (one extra lb) and the 1 lb DME at fifteen minutes. This would give you IBUs of 52.3, save one oz of hops, and bump up the OG to 1.059. Or you could use all the original hops and add more at 15 and flameout for an IBU of 69.6.
Adding more LME later will increase hop utilization, so it that is what you want, add less early.
Kelpie Home Brewery, Lafayette Colorado
Primary: Creek Dog Stout x2, Two Dogs IPA, Grinning Kelpie Wheat
Secondary: empty :(
In Bottles: Belgian Wheat
With 1# DME at beginning:
I got 65 IBU if you use 5 gallons boil (lower OG).
60 IBU for 4 gallons boil
54 IBU for 3 gallons boil
If you take the 1# towards 10 minutes boil:
you can get 64 for a 4 gallons boil..
Remember the high OG at initial wort.. it will lower the bitterness..
Happy Brewing
Thanks for the responses, great suggestions.
Kungpaodog- I like the alternate recipe you suggested, and having an extra 1oz of simcoe is a huge plus. Now what if I were to use that 1oz for a dry hop? Good idea yes/no? I don't have any extra lme only what came with the kit so I think i'll do either 1lb dme extract to start and 6lbs lme at 10min or 3lbs lme to start and then 3lbs lme and 1lb dme at 10min.
Undallas- Please do explain a bit further- "Remember the high OG at initial wort.. it will lower the bitterness.."
"Adding more LME later will increase hop utilization, so it that is what you want, add less early." This is what I mean... less sugary wort tend to isomerize the AA in the hop.
Another note is to reference Edwort's IPA recipe.... get rid of the 40 minutes boil... it is almost pointless.. save hops for dry hopping.. you'll like fresh simcoe from dry hopping.
If I'm going to brew this, I would get most of my IBU at the beginning of the boil...
1oz Simcoe (60 minutes = 46 IBU)
.5 oz Simcoe (20 minutes +7.8 IBU)
Add the DME at 10 minutes before end.
.5 oz Simcoe (5 minutes +4 IBU)
1 oz Simcoe (dry hop for 7-10 days in secondary)
Total = 58 IBU which is in the middle of BJCP spec (40-70)
When would you add the lme then? I'm liking the looks of your altered recipe. Especially the 1oz dry hop. I have yet to dry hop a beer and this would be a perfect opportunity.
I have 6lb lme and 1lb dme.
To answer your question, I need to know your prefer IBU #? Do you have a feeling on the IBU#? Different combination would give you different IBU #.
One note on dry hopping... you have another options.. Here's the exact word from another HBTer; it is lengthy, but worth a try. I haven't tried this method yet.
" Dry Hopping in the Primary (sorry, a bit lengthy)
I had always been disappointed with my attempts at dry hopping. I did it a couple of times in the keg and the results were almost undrinkable. Very harsh and grassy notes, not pleasant and floral like some of the commercial examples (Bell's Two Hearted Ale is probably the best example I can think of). I swore off dry hopping and relied on late boil additions instead, and while this process made fine beer, it wasn't quite what I wanted.
Then, in 2006, I attended the National Homebrew Conference in Orlando. I went to a seminar given by Matt Brynildson who is the brewmaster over at Firestone brewery. He talked about getting hop character in beer in a variety of ways and talked about dry hopping and described the process that he uses and the reasons why it works for him. The process is as follows:
Once the beer starts fermenting in the primary, let it reach high krausen and then start to crash (about 1 day or so after high krausen). Fermentation is still going on, but at a lower activity level. Add your dry hops to the primary at this point and let the beer continue to ferment with the dry hops for 3 days total. After 3 days, fermentation should be complete and the beer should be racked to a secondary. If you use pellet hops (and I would recommend that you do), it may be necessary to rack one additional time to help remove as much hop debris as possible. Keg or bottle as usual.
I went home and tried this technique and was blown away at the difference. What was once grassy and harsh, is now floral and almost perfumey with wonderful hop character. I am a dedicated dry hopper now.
Some things that I think are important:
1. Dry hopping using this method with whole hops is problematic. I use carboys, and trying to stuff whole hops into the neck of a carboy is not something I think is practical. Use pellet hops and your life will be much easier.
2. Do not use a hop bag. Just dump the pellets in, this will maximize the exposure of the hops to the wort and get the biggest impact. I usually get a clean piece of printer paper, weigh out the hops, place the hops on the paper, then bend the paper to form a trough so that the hops can be dumped right into the neck of the carboy. No funnel necessary.
3. As the beer ferments with the hops in it, the hops want to float to the top. A couple of times a day, I'll go in and swirl the carboy a few times to help submerge the hops.
4. Don't exceed 3 days. This is plenty of time to get what the hops have to offer. More than this and you risk getting those harsh grassy notes.
5. Pick a hop variety that you like. Dry hopping gives you a concentrated does of whatever your hops smell and taste like. I am absolutely nuts over Centennial right now. That is what is in the Bell's Two Hearted.
6. I think 2 - 3 oz of dry hops for a 5 - 6 gallon batch is appropriate and gives a great hop character.
7. Increase your batch size by 1/2 gallon or so due to the added wort lost in dry hop absorption and the possibility of an extra racking.
Sorry this is long. Hope it helps.
Hmm that dry hop method sounds very interesting. I wonder if it would work similarly to leave the beer in a 6 gallon better bottle for 3 weeks total and add the hops the last 3 days. Or is what the fellow HBTer saying is that adding to the primary that is still fermenting is what helped leave out the grassy notes.
Id be happy with 50-60 ibu's. This will be my 8th batch so I still don't have a taste for certain ibu levels yet.
Alright here's my recipe. Can someone give me an IBU calculation.
4 gallon steep, probably end up with 3.5 in the boil.
60min- 3lb lme, 1 oz. Simcoe
20min- .5 oz. Simcoe
10min- 3lb lme, 1lb dme
2min- .5 oz. Simcoe
1 oz. Simcoe dry hop
Thanks for the help
If anyone knows of an web based calculator that can do late extract addictions i'd love to know about it.
use this software to try to help you estimate your IBU based on Tinseth's calculation.http://brewery.org/brewery/files/Tinibuw.zip
The key is to estimate your gravity when you add your hops and length of time in the wort...
What late extract addition does is raise the OG up... so the bitterness factor is almost negligible at 10 minutes and 2 minute .5 addition..
IBU = 63 (Rager)
I removed the late addition and pretend it was diluted from begining to end, IBU = 65...
You can see that late addition has little or no effect on the IBU.
