ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Jairus Byrd and Spencer Johnson returned Tim Tebow interceptions for touchdowns on consecutive plays in the fourth quarter to help the Buffalo Bills snap a seven-game skid and seal a 40-14 win over the Denver Broncos on Saturday.
Tebow finished with a career-worst four interceptions as the Broncos (8-7) fell into a tie with Oakland for first place in the AFC West. Denver lost its second in a row while squandering a chance to inch closer to clinching its first playoff berth since 2005.
Byrd scored on a 37-yard return with 8:03 left and Johnson had a 17-yarder just 18 seconds later as Buffalo (6-9) closed its home schedule with a victory. C.J. Spiller rushed for a career-best 111 yards and a touchdown, and Leodis McKelvin scored on an 80-yard punt return.

Arts and Minds, The News Hole
Guide to the Government Shutdown
As you may have heard, the federal government began to shut down today. It's more revolting than we could possibly have imagined, as today's Daily News cover implies with John Boehner's shit-stained hands. Among the many things making us angry today are the headlines that describe the situation as one of gridlock, where the two parties just can't sit down and compromise.
(If you've already had your fill of angry rants over the shutdown, feel free to skip the following paragraph.)
Make no mistake: Thousands of people are not receiving paychecks and millions more are without crucial government services because one party, the Republican one, has decided to hold the country hostage because they don't like the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, an act that passed both houses of Congress, was signed by the president, and was challenged and upheld by the Supreme Court (how's that for checks and balances?). Just last year, President Obama won an election in which he promised to implement Obamacare over a candidate who promised to repeal it. But Republicans have refused to allow the government to function unless Democrats de-fund or delay Obamacare, and because they won't do so, Republicans say Democrats are "unwilling to compromise." It is shameful and absurdly anti-democratic.
But anyway. We do the best we can.
Yesterday, we told you about changes to the MARC train schedule, local offices, that are closed, and the Sixth and I synagogue's "Shutdown Central."
Here are some more potentially helpful or fun links to get you through the day:

By mike on 10/4/2012 mike would recommend this product to a friend i have two 1050's in my 120 and for the price they blow away the compretition. so much flow and such a wide area they move so much water GREAT WATER FLOW By charles on 9/25/2012 charles would recommend this product to a friend THIS IS A GREAT PUMP, I'VE HAD MINE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT RUNNING. IT IS VERY QUIET. Satisfactory for small tank By MJ's Custom Aquarium Water on 9/21/2012 MJ's Custom Aquarium Water wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Pro's - magnet is awesome, it is going nowhere. Unit is very quiet, I don't notice it turning on and off. The quality of the build should last. Con - I have a 550 and even in a 34 gallon tank it is weak. I have a much smaller one that generates more current. A little unimpressed with it's power. Great Product! By wesley on 9/17/2012 wesley would recommend this product to a friend I needed a good pump so i got this one to go with my other and it works amazing, it also looks great in the tank. i would recommend this to anyone Good flow By Earl on 9/13/2012 Earl would recommend this product to a friend I have two of these, one on each side toward the rear of the tank and they keep good flow throughout the tank. I supplement them with two nano powerheads on the sides toward the front of the tank. Corals are thriving and growing well. cheap way to make wave By Yutong on 9/11/2012 Yutong would recommend this product to a friend it is a cheap way to make wave compare to mp10 Works great By mud on 9/5/2012 mud would recommend this product to a friend I started with one of these and have added a 2nd one with wave controller(750). Quiet and affordable. Whats not to like? Good for the price, but there is a catch By Joshua on 9/3/2012 Joshua would recommend this product to a friend I currently have 3 Evolutions, 2 of them work perfect and the other has to be "bump" started. The price is right compared to the next best thing, the Vortech. You can buy 10 of these for the price of 1 of those, so for the hobbyist, this is the way to go. GOOD PUMPS FOR THE MONEY By Tom on 8/12/2012 Tom would recommend this product to a friend I bought these pumps because they were alot cheaper than others I looked at. They are a bit bulky in size but they work good. They are quiet, magnets are really strong. They are hard to adjust the angle of flow but they also stay at the angle you put them at so a good trade off. I also use them to stir my saltwater in my mixing bucket which they do really well at. great pump! By Brandon on 8/7/2012 Brandon would recommend this product to a friend I was very skeptical when buying this pump because i had heard bad things about the older models, but this has worked great. I have had it for about 6 months and it has worked just fine. Super quiet and none of the clicking sounds that I have heard about. and moves a lot of water in my 40 breeder. I will definitely buy these in the future when I decide to add another to my tank. Just what I needed By Jeremy on 7/24/2012 Jeremy would recommend this product to a friend I have this up and running for over two months now and my corals are loving it. Provides a gentle flow across them. Good bang for your buck By Billy on 7/14/2012 Billy would recommend this product to a friend these 750's really move alot of water really great pumps...

Steven Spielberg's Civil War saga "Lincoln," with no fewer than three major studios behind it, led the Globe field Thursday with seven nominations, including best drama, a category fleshed out by four other big-talent, Hollywood-backed films: Ben Affleck's Iran hostage-crisis thriller "Argo"; Quentin Tarantino's slave-turned-bounty-hunter tale "Django Unchained"; Ang Lee's shipwreck adventure "Life of Pi"; and Kathryn Bigelow's Osama bin Laden manhunt story "Zero Dark Thirty."
Quite a departure from much of the past decade, when smaller films such as "The Artist," "Crash," "Slumdog Millionaire," "The King's Speech," "No Country for Old Men" and Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" have walked off with top film honors.
"There's been a sense that the studios weren't interested in making more complicated dramas and a variety of movies," said "Lincoln" producer Kathleen Kennedy. "To see the studios step up and start to support stories like this is definitely fantastic."
"I think it speaks to risks that studios are more willing to take now and interest on the part of filmmakers and studios to do something different, surprise the audience," Affleck said. "I'm really encouraged by that. The idea that the next time I want to make a movie about Iran that takes place in the '70s, and it's sort of an adult drama, that I won't be met with rolled eyes. Or at least people will roll their eyes behind my back."
Studio films also account for a good share of the acting nominees, among them "Lincoln" stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones, "Zero Dark Thirty" lead player Jessica Chastain, "Django Unchained" co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz, "Argo" co-star Alan Arkin, and Denzel Washington for the airline drama "Flight."
The Globes are Hollywood's second-highest honors after the Academy Awards, whose nominations come out Jan. 10, three days before the Globe ceremony. There's always plenty of nominations overlap between the two, so the Oscar lineup likely will feature a similar studio revival.
A few years ago, the Oscar nominations essentially were a "real celebration of the independent scene," said "King's Speech" filmmaker Tom Hooper, whose intimate period drama won him the directing Oscar and also claimed best picture two years ago.
Hooper's back with his Victor Hugo musical "Les Miserables," an epic studio adaptation of the stage show that earned four Globe nominations, including best musical or comedy.
Studio films such as "Ben-Hur," "Lawrence of Arabia," "Gandhi" and "Gone with the Wind" once had a stranglehold on awards season. Then studios began focusing on where the money is — blockbuster action movies — and actors and filmmakers turned to independent financers to make the sort of quality films that awards voters favor.
It may be shifting back now.
"What I'm hoping is that the studios actually kind of took note of this and realized that drama is not dead and you have to take risks and you can get amazing rewards even commercially from taking risks on these smaller movies," Hooper said.
Joining "Les Miserables" in the best musical or comedy category are the British retiree romp "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"; the first-love tale "Moonrise Kingdom"; the fishing romance "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen"; and the lost-soul romance "Silver Linings Playbook."
Besides Day-Lewis in the title role of "Lincoln" and Washington in "Flight," nominees for dramatic actor are Richard Gere for "Arbitrage," John Hawkes for "The Sessions" and Joaquin Phoenix for "The Master."
"Zero Dark Thirty" star Chastain is joined in the dramatic-actress field by Marion Cotillard for "Rust and Bone," Helen Mirren for "Hitchcock," Naomi Watts for "The Impossible" and Rachel Weisz for "The Deep Blue Sea."
The acting categories have a nice mix of studio fare and indie films made on a shoestring, among them "The Sessions," an unusual story of a man (Hawkes) in an iron lung who aims to lose his virginity with help from a sex surrogate (supporting-actress nominee Helen Hunt). It's the first feature film since the mid-1990s from writer-director Ben Lewin.
"It is a Cinderella story when it is a tiny movie made by a director who hasn't had a movie in a long time, produced by his wife, paid for by friends and family," Hunt said. "For that kind of movie to be talked about next to all these big fancy movies, that's a real testament to what the director did."
There will be some friendly rivalry among the hosts at the Globe ceremony, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Both were nominated for best actress in a TV comedy, Fey for "30 Rock" and Poehler for "Parks and Recreation."
The Sarah Palin drama "Game Change" leads TV contenders with five nominations: best movie or miniseries and acting honors for Julianne Moore, Woody Harrelson, Ed Harris and Sarah Paulson. "Homeland" was next with four: best drama series and acting nominations for Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin.
Presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of about 90 reporters covering entertainment for overseas outlets, the Globes have a reputation as a loose gathering where stars share drinks and dinner — and sometimes cut loose a bit more than they might at the stately Oscars.
"Everybody always says, and it's absolutely true, it's the most fun of the ceremonies," said Field, a two-time Oscar winner who's nominated for supporting actress as Mary Todd Lincoln in "Lincoln." "It becomes slightly irreverent in its way. The fact that it's a dinner, and they make sure they ply you with as much alcohol as they can. Luckily, my category is one of the earliest ones up, so whatever happens, I'll be all right."

The watchful eyes of neighbors and astute detective work by a rookie police dog led to four arrests at the recently-opened Valley Oaks Home apartment complex on Lyon Street, during two separate police visits on Tuesday.
Sonoma Police Sgt. Dave Thompson said law enforcement was alerted Tuesday morning after neighbors reported suspicious activity and a strange vehicle at the affordable housing unit. Upon arrival at about 10:30 a.m., police found Yadira Bojorquez, 25, of Boyes Hot Springs, sitting in the passenger seat of the suspected sedan. A search of the vehicle uncovered two Ziplock bags containing methamphetamine. Bojorquez was arrested for felony possession of a controlled substance, and taken to the Sonoma County Jail where bail was set at $10,000.
Just three hours later, at about 1:30 p.m., neighbors called police back to the 43-unit apartment complex with another report of suspicious activity. Thompson said shortly after deputies got out of their car, they heard a loud clatter from the Dumpster. Deputies investigated and found that Banessa Soto Hernandez, 26, of Windsor, had thrown a knife into the garbage. Hernandez was already on probation with terms that forbade her from possessing a weapon, so she was charged with a felony probation violation. After being booked into the Sonoma County Jail, bail was set for $20,000.
Deputies then noticed a suspicious man standing by a silver pick-up truck.
Police searched the vehicle and found the man was in possession of one pound of marijuana, a misdemeanor offense. The man was cited and released.
Finally, police – along with their brand new recruit, a police dog named Dickie – went to the apartment of Jose Torres-Navarro, 27, a resident of Valley Oaks. Thompson said police had received numerous calls regarding Torres-Navarro and suspicious activity at his apartment.
"There was just a lot of traffic going in and out of that apartment, the neighbors had made a lot of complaints about it," Thompson said. "In this case, the neighbors were right."
When asked by police, Torres-Navarro consented to a search of his apartment, and at first, everything seemed to be in order. Then Dickie alerted his handlers. High on a shelf – higher than any of the deputies could reach – Dickie smelled out a bag that police found to contain methamphetamine.
"The credit goes to Dickie, it was a great find on his part," Thompson said. "It's amazing what these dogs can do."
He also credits the neighbors – whose diligence kept police coming back to Valley Oaks.
"They have a nice little neighborhood watch over there," Thompson noted. "We saw a lot of young families. I don't think these neighbors will stand for that (crime)."
Torres-Navarro was arrested for felony possession of a controlled substance and taken to the Sonoma County Jail. On Wednesday, Torres-Navarro and Bojorquez had bailed out, while Hernandez remained in custody.
The Satellite Affordable Housing Associates confirmed that Torres-Navarro will be evicted from Valley Oaks Home. An official said eviction proceedings had begun before the police activity on Tuesday. As more than 400 people applied for the 43-units, the apartment will quickly be re-rented to the next eligible individual on the waiting list. Find out more atsahahomes.org.

Tilapia with Chunky Tomato Sauce
from the
American Institute for Cancer Research
Create the great taste of a healthy seafood dish in this easy-to-prepare recipe. Tilapia is a flavorful white fish found in the fresh seafood section of most grocery stores. According to Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch, Tilapia farmed in the U.S. or from Central or South America are the most environmentally-friendly choices.
The colorful chunky sauce in this recipe combines the acidity of tomatoes and the traditional pairing of lemon with seafood for a flavor that complements this mild flavored fish. The basil – with its delicately sweet, anise and peppery qualities – and the garlic impart a subtle Mediterranean taste. And the red pepper gives the dish an extra kick.
This dish goes well with a simple green salad consisting of fresh lettuce, cucumbers, a measure of grated carrots and some garbanzo beans. For a dressing, you might try a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. A complete nutritious meal could be topped off with a mixed fresh fruit for dessert.
Tilapia with Chunky Tomato Sauce
- 2 (14-oz) cans no salt added diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions, including green stems
- 1/2 tsp. sugar (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil (2 tsp. dried may be substituted)
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper (or to taste)
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. tilapia fillets
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Place all ingredients, except oil, fish and parsley in a bowl and gently combine well.
In large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Place fish in skillet. Top with tomato mixture, cover and simmer over medium low heat for 8-10 minutes or until fish is cooked.
Garnish with parsley and serve.

Microsoft to put Live Search Toolbar in front of millions of HP consumer
Summary: I'm of the belief that this just as we are entering into a renewed browser war (both Apple and Mozilla have changed tactics as of late), we're also going to see a reinvigoration of the toolbar war.
It seems that Microsoft is turning to HP to help spread the word about Live Search:
Microsoft Corp. today announced that it has won a key distribution deal with HP, the world's largest PC manufacturer, to install a Live Search-enabled toolbar on all HP consumer PCs planned to ship in the United States and Canada, beginning in January 2009. As part of this deal, the default search engine setting in the browser on all HP consumer PCs will also be set to Microsoft Live Search.
"This agreement with HP is a strategic indicator of our increased focus on securing broad-scale distribution for Live Search," said Kevin Johnson, president of the Platforms & Services Division at Microsoft. "This is the most significant distribution deal for Live Search that Microsoft has ever done, and we are very pleased to be partnering with HP to help bring Live Search to millions of consumers across North America."
Microsoft is building a custom, Live Search-enabled toolbar for HP customers that takes advantage of the exceptional user experience capabilities of Microsoft Silverlight. The toolbar will provide HP with customization capabilities within the buttons on the toolbar, providing quick and easy access to a variety of online services and tools, such as Snapfish by HP, the company's online photo service, and HP customer support.
My first thought when I read this was "Ugh, no another toolbar push." Let's face it, every tech company that has a toolbar (and that's most of them) is pushing their toolbar over the competition. Microsoft is cutting out the middle-man here (that's the consumer, who usually has to initiate the download and install) and making sure that the toolbar is re-installed and waiting for the consumer. This deal should put Microsoft's new Live Search toolbar in front of some 16 million consumers.
Note: I don't buy HP PCs so on a personal note I couldn't care about this announcement either way.
Then I noticed something else. Something odd. Normally, when company signs a deal to push something to millions of users, the press release or blog post usually mentions the consumer benefit associated with the push. It's interesting to note that neither the press release nor the blog post by Mikko Ollila (Product Manager, Live Search Partner Ecosystem) makes any mention of how this will benefit consumers. This is all about Microsoft and increasing brand awareness. The question isn't whether this will raise the awareness of Live Search (because it will), it's whether users stick with Live, or feel they need to go elsewhere for their search needs.
I'm of the belief that this just as we are entering into a renewed browser war (both Apple and Mozilla have changed tactics as of late), we're also going to see a re-invigoration of the toolbar war. All the major players (Microsoft, Google, Yahoo! ...) have deep pockets and a deal like this between Microsoft and HP will make the other players look for a partner.
Prepare yourself for an onslaught of toolbars.

ABL: Slingers power past Heat
Rashad Jones-Jennings had 24 points and 23 rebounds as the Jobstreet.com Singapore Slingers beat the Saigon Heat 80-69 on Sunday.
By Marcus ChhanFollow @@MarcusChhan
The Heat were without top scorer Dior Lowhorn because of a hamstring injury and went down by as much 19 points in the third quarter but rallied through the brilliance of Jai Reyes (22 points) while David Palmer chipped in with 20 points and 16 rebounds.
Singaporean guard Wong Wei Long also starred for the Slingers with a sharp-shooting display to bag 20 points.
Both teams now sit at 3-3 in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) standings following Sunday's result at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Jones-Jennings came into the contest after putting up his best numbers (19 points, 14 rebounds) of the 2013 ABL season so far in a defeat to the Indonesia Warriors, and he wasted no time in getting the home side off the mark with a bank-shot to open the contest against the Heat.
Slingers favourite Kyle Jeffers, who struggled with 4 of 16 shooting against the Warriors earlier in the week, showed no signs of low-confidence as he poured in eight points in the quarter for the Slingers to take control very early.
However, Reyes pulled up and nailed a three on his way to nine first quarter points which helped leave the two teams deadlocked at 16-16 heading into the second period.
But the Slingers came out firing in the second quarter with Desmond Oh nailing a shot from beyond the arc after the restart.
Reyes was temporarily forced out of the game less than two minutes into the quarter with a dislocated finger but he would return a few minutes later.
And when he did return, it was a whole different ball game.
A vicious block from Jeffers on Phillip Morrison led to an easy basket in transition for Oh before the American capped off a 9-0 run with a monster two handed dunk to make it 26-18.
Palmer did his best to respond for Saigon with a triple but the Slingers where shooting the ball too well at this point to let their lead slip. The red-hot Wong drained three triples in the quarter alone to guide the Singapore outfit to a 44-32 half-time lead.
Before the game Heat coach Jason Rabedeaux had opted not to risk key man Lowhorn as the 6'7'' forward was still suffering from a tight hamstring. As a result, the Heat more often than not deployed a zonal marking system to help keep their only other 'big' Palmer out of foul trouble.
Slingers guard Wong certainly enjoyed the extra space on the perimeter as he continued to punish the visitors from three point range even in the third quarter.
"We let Wei Long get loose a little bit," Rabedeaux told FOX Sports after the game.
He added: "We knew he could shoot and we have got to give him credit because he made the shots, but I thought our zone at times was effective. The biggest thing I wanted to play was to keep Palmer out of foul trouble."
Wong finished with an impressive 20 points and when he was not scoring he was doing other things like stealing the ball and dishing to Jones-Jennings for an easy bucket on the break as the Heat found themselves down by 19 points midway through the period.
The Heat never let their heads drop, though, and started to work their way back into the contest.
Ben Wisniewski, in for the injured Lowhorn, had a decent debut with 11 points and managed to get Jeffers in the air with a pump fake on the baseline before drawing heavy contact from the Slinger. The officials deemed the offence as an intentional and technical foul which allowed Wisniewski to drain both free-throws from the charity stripe while Karl Dehesa added two more points for the Heat with a pull up jump shot on the next play.
Into the fourth quarter and the Slingers led 64-49 but the advantage was cut to just 10 points within the first five minutes after consecutive three pointers from Reyes and then Larry Tieu (12 points).
The Heat were beginning to get more and more defensive stops and so when Morrison and Palmer combined for an alley-oop lay-up and then Reyes added another three, the game was suddenly a tight affair with the score 71-67 to the Slingers.
"We started pretty well, taking advantage of the first two quarters with our size," Slingers coach Neo Beng Siang said.
"But we can't let teams come back and take us down."
Fortunately for the home support, the Slingers didn't let the Heat complete the comeback by scoring nine more points to see out the 80-69 victory.
"At times we competed and played hard," Rabedeaux said.
"We knew we were undermanned tonight without Dior [Lowhorn]. We don't have a lot of size as it is so we had to play way more zonal than I like to play to keep David [Palmer] out of foul trouble.
"Obviously when we went back man-to-man in the second half we were able to make a little bit of a run at them but give Singapore credit, their backs were against the wall, they needed a win and I am proud of our guys because they played hard."
Lowhorn will be available for selection when the two teams play the reverse fixture of this game in just five days' time at Tan Binh Stadium on Friday the 22nd of February.

More Context
Not that he needs my help defending himself, but Red Maryland contributor Rick Vatz, who was a target of Daivd Paulson's pusillanimous smear, rightly puts Paulson's attack in proper context.
Laura Vozzella's column "Can't we just get along?" (June 22) describes Democratic Party spokesman David Paulson's false suggestion of racial insensitivity in the hosts' reactions to a call from an African-American listener on the Ehrlichs' weekly radio show on WBAL.
Such a claim by a member of the state Democratic hierarchy, which has exhibited overt, ugly and destructive racism over the last six years, is hypocrisy at its worst.
In addition to the examples of Democratic insensitivity cited in Ms. Vozzella's column by former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s spokesman, Henry Fawell - of Rep. Steny
H. Hoyer and state Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller's use of racial epithets against former Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele - there was the silence among most Democratic office-holders when Mr. Steele was called "Simple Sambo" on a liberal blog, there was state Sen. Lisa A. Gladden's justifying the use of ugly racial slurs against Mr. Steele by arguing that "party trumps race," and there was Democratic Del. Salima S. Marriott's suggestion that comparisons of Mr. Steele to a slave or an Oreo cookie were deserved because he's a conservative.
The silence about or condoning of such racial attacks by many Democrats conveys the message that vile racial rhetorical assaults are acceptable to Democrats in Maryland if they are made about an African-American conservative.
Richard E. Vatz Towson The writer is a professor of rhetoric at Towson University who was a panelist on the radio show discussed in Ms. Vozzella's column.


text: Greetings fellow Warlords, brothers in arms, and lurkers, At the Coastal war practice this weekend at Rapier Academy one underlying problem we should address at practices became apparent, leadership. To explain what I mean, there is always one person who is ultimately in charge of a force, and they should have subordinate commanders. These subordinate commanders must be proactive, meaning they must not fall into the "I'm not commanding so I'll just do as I am told" mentality. These subcommanders must be looking for opportunities, ready to adapt to the situation and overcome unforeseen obstacles. It is important that all the troops in a unit be able to lead in this effective manner, for very often one's commander is taken out, and one who was once a shieldman, now needs to lead his/her unit to victory. I intend to practice this down here in Seawinds this week by having a commander pick two subcommanders and we will be practicing flanking maneuvers. The commander will "die" shortly into the engagement. Towards the end of the practice, the commander will live throughout the engagement, and in effect we will have three commanders with one being ultimately in charge. I found the tactics being used by the Coastal region's two major units nearly identical and evenly matched. The units were able to meld rather well as we did mix them up. This being just the first of many practices, this coastal cohesion will only improve with time. I personally want to thank everyone who attended this practice. From what I can see, our practices are progressing rather well and I will be able to report to the Kingdom Warlord at Gulf War X that the Coastal Region is properly trained, armed, and ready for blood. I remain in your service. Lawrence the Rampant CR Warlord -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

AES E-Library
An Efficient Asynchronous Sampling-Rate Conversion Algorithm for Multi-Channel Audio Applications
We describe an asynchronous sampling-rate conversion (SRC) algorithm that is specifically tailored to multi-channel audio applications. The algorithm is capable of converting between arbitrary asynchronous sampling rates around a fixed operating point, and it is designed to operate in multi-threaded systems. The algorithm uses a set of fractional delay filters together with cubic interpolation to achieve accurate and efficient sampling-rate conversion.

text: On July 22, 2004, at approximately 1200 mountain daylight time, a Piper PA-24-250, N7064P, piloted by a private pilot, was substantially damaged when it impacted a tree during a forced landing near Model, Colorado. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The personal flight was being conducted under the provisions of Title 14 CFR Part 91 without a flight plan. The pilot reported minor injuries. The cross-country flight originated at Las Vegas, Nevada, at approximately 0635 and was en route to Lamar, Colorado.According to the accident report submitted by the pilot, he was en route to Steubenville, Ohio, with a planned fuel stop in Lamar, Colorado. Approximately 8 nautical miles northeast of Trinidad, Colorado, the pilot noted that the fuel gauges were low and subsequently the engine lost power. During the forced landing, the airplane impacted a pinion tree bending both the right and left wings, wrinkling the left aft portion of the fuselage and separating the engine and cowling from the fuselage. During the airplane recovery, no fuel was recovered from either fuel tank. An examination of the airplane systems revealed no anomalies.

Unique Park Location
The apartment is sited in a tranquil park, yet, incredibly, it is only a 15-20 minute stroll (just over a mile), or 5 minutes by bus (bus stop is only minutes away from the apartment) to Edinburgh's city centre and all the main attractions. Enjoy the private garden, which offers secluded seating areas and is teeming with wildlife.
A Gem of an Apartment - Your Home-Away-From Home
Guests have exclusive use of the house's sweeping Palladian staircase entrance, at the top of which are double oak doors and a small seating area, a south-facing suntrap overlooking the park - wonderful for sipping a glass of wine and watching the world drift by at the end of busy days' sightseeing!

About Debbie or Philip Martin
Philip is a retired mechanical engineer, who travelled the world as a naval engineer for many years - living in Mexico and Belize for several years. He is an amateur historian, and has amazing local and Scottish historical knowledge... and, is also a keen 'treasure hunter' - goes off frequently to local sites with his metal detector.
I am an ex-copy editor who worked for over 20 years in the field of publishing, and then on a freelance basis as an editor/proofreader. We both enjoy travel, books, films and, life in general.
We decided, after meeting, that we couldn't bear to sell Philip's apartment in Pilrig House - it was just so special, and so we decided to turn it into a rental apartment. A year later, with great joy, we moved back into the house ourselves, then we purchased another apartment for renovation & rental, and so it just grew over the years since we started up.
We have made many great friends, and still gain enormous joy & satisfaction in welcoming visitors here from around the world. It is lovely that so many visitors, including increasing numbers of solo women travellers, come back time & time again.
Our emphasis, right from the start, was to create incredibly clean & exceptionally comfortable accommodation, with in excess of the usual facilities found in vacation rentals – and to maintain this high standard. We also wanted to ensure we met our guests' needs, and so listened & took on board, almost without exception, all comments/suggestions over the years. We always personally offer a warm welcome, & are really pleased to be able to provide further support during your stay, if wanted! On arrival, we take you into the apartment, showing you all the need-to-know things, and will always take as long as you want to answer all your questions – it is nice to meet the owner and to know we are on-hand should you need us.
Debbie or Philip Martin purchased this apartment in 1985
Why Debbie or Philip Martin chose Leith
Well - there's the fact the Pilrig House is utterly unique as an historic 17th-century townhouse in Edinburgh, then there's the lovely location, and the parkland and Edinburgh skyline views... And the peace! Then, there's the wonderful ambience in the house itself - it really is special. And, the private parking, the beautiful gardens... there is so much to enjoy about living here. We just couldn't replicate what Pilrig House offers if we searched the length and breadth of Edinburgh. And the fact that we can walk into the centre of Edinburgh in 15-20 mins, or take a bus right outside the park... more than anything, we love the feeling of living in the country while living in the city.
In each apartment, the living-rooms and bedrooms have park and/or garden views – a lovely change from looking out onto city streets or other buildings! The house's history also gives it a special feel – some people liken it to staying in a Scottish castle…
Robert Louis Stevenson's mother lived in Pilrig House and he visited here and played in the gardens as a child – we include his novels in all three apartments, so you can read extracts that refer to Pilrig House, and imagine living in another time…
One national newspaper journalist wrote, after staying here, that the house has a 'timelessness that made for instant relaxation…'
And, the centre of Edinburgh is under a mile away – most guests walk there, and sometimes take a bus home at the end of the day… and describe their pleasure at returning to the peace and tranquillity of Pilrig House. Great shops are almost on your doorstep – supermarkets, cafes, bars, restaurants… all within easy walking distance.
We have many US and Canadian guests who come back every year, and European guests who visit at least 6 times per year – and they have stayed previously in the best hotels and now choose to stay here. Our Guestbook comments & reviews on all independent sites have been 100% positive - do take a look at our website!
What makes this apartment unique
The Peace
Location. Location. Location. We awaken to birdsong, can gaze out our windows & see the park in all seasons & ever-changing colours, or sit in the garden to the side of the house in total privacy & enjoy the tranquillity.
Great Local Amenities & Attractions
Everything we need is close-by: great local independent shops, supermarkets, bus stops, restaurants (especially in the nearby waterfront 'Shore' area), Playhouse theatre, Martin Wishart's Cook School, gym & leisure centre (with fab pool), multi-screen cinema, library, bank, post office, a fab Sicilian bakery, great Italian deli and cafe - Valvona & Crolla, walks/cycle-path along the Water of Leith walkways, Edinburgh's Waverley train station - to list a few of the local amenities...
Castles, coastline
The nearby East Lothian coastal trail - only a half-hour drive away, has a host of charming villages and historic castles.
Golf Hub
22 wonderful golf-courses along the above coastline - eg Gullane, North Berwick, Craigielaw, Muirfield, Archerfield, Dunbar - for golf fans out there! Or drive to nearby St Andrews Old Course & get snapped on the bridge...
Another great bonus is our free parking in a private car park directly to the rear of the property – you can bring your golf clubs! - this is incredibly rare in Edinburgh – most properties have 'metered' on-street parking on a street outside/near their property, which never guarantees a space, and is incredibly expensive – you have to top up the metre every couple of hours!
Philip and I often walk to the 'Shore' area of Leith, on the waterfront – which is Edinburgh's port – a 5-10 minute walk from Pilrig House – it has great restaurants and bistros. You can also use your membership card to visit the Scotch Malt Whisky Society's 'The Vaults' premises here – even if you don't like whisky – a great place to have a bar lunch in the oldest building in Leith (at local bar-lunch prices).

This is my mom's recipe. Ever since I can remember, she has been making this cake. It's such a good cake and a great use for all the rhubarb that grows in the garden that no one seems to knows what to do with! She always makes it in a 9X13 pan but I'm going to try it in individal foil pans next time.

The Riverside Transit Agency's travel training instructors work individually and in groups until the clients are comfortable using its regular fixed-route services.
The program has exceeded our expectations," explained Bradley Weaver, marketing manager for RTA. "With more people moving away from Dial-A-Ride and using fixed-route buses, this unique program is promoting a variety of travel choices, nurturing community partnerships, embracing sustainable communities, and helping minimize pollution and waste."
As part of the program to get disabled customers on the bus, RTA develops individualized travel plans for each participant, with a variety of lessons, including how to read bus schedules, pay fares and connect with other routes. Travel trainers also teach seniors the same lessons, but often in group settings, such as at adult day health care centers and senior living communities.
Personal travel trainers customize the learning experience to meet each person's individual needs. The step-by-step process emphasizes safety, while building confidence and travel skills. Travel training involves a series of steps from initial one-on-one instructor assistance to gradual empowerment of the individual to, ultimately, independent travel.
The total time spent on training is based on the individual's needs. Instructors spend as much time as necessary to ensure each person is comfortable with traveling on their own.
"[The] customer contacts RTA, or RTA meets customers at a presentation," said Weaver. "Every client is unique, and barriers are unique, so we don't have a specific frequency or time spent on each person. It varies. Each trainer sees roughly one to two people a day. We also [work with] groups."
The program was funded through a federal grant and developed and marketed through multiple partnerships.
"We worked with Easter Seals Project Action and community and senior centers to develop the program," Weaver explained. "Our community activist group, TNOW, has been instrumental in promoting the program."
Since its November 2011 launch, approximately 450 people have taken the RTA's travel training, with another 300 either currently in training or on a waiting list. In about a year-and-a-half, the program has generated 33,678 trips.
Additionally, with the average cost of providing fixed-route service coming in at $5 per passenger compared with $26 per passenger, the RTA has saved approximately $300,000 alone this fiscal year. Furthermore, RTA estimates it saves an estimated $14,000 a year for every five-day-a-week rider who makes the switch from Dial-A-Ride to fixed-route services.
More importantly, the program also saves the RTA's customers money. The agency estimates that a person riding fixed-route buses five day a week spends less than $300 annually for a disabled/senior bus pass, while that same person would spend at least $1,560 on Dial-A-Ride service.
For all of these reasons, Weaver suggested that implementing a travel training program is a win-win for everybody involved.
"Other agencies looking to implement this program will be pleasantly surprised by the results," he said. "Not only is it a good way to give customers a new sense of freedom and independence, it's also a great way to build strong communities and foster partnerships."
Tips for Developing a Travel Training Program
Transit agencies may choose to hire a travel trainer themselves or to contract one through a travel training services company or a human services agency. Easter Seals Project ACTION (ESPA) and a national workgroup of travel instruction professionals developed a comprehensive set of competencies for the practice of travel training. Based on those competencies, the following questions are points that transit agencies or contractors may want to consider when hiring a travel trainer:

Technobullies on the rise in school yard stripping games
Canadian researchers studying online bullying have found that teenagers are happily exploiting emerging technologies, such as texting, emails, and social networking sites in their playground power struggles. The ease with which a bully can hide his or her identity is also changing the game. According to Professor Faye Mishna, …
I felt tempted to use the "post anonymously" ticky, since when has this been a new problem.
It's well known that if a couple have mucky pictures of one or other (mucky video tapes/dvds/files even) it will at the point of a brakeup go public. It will probably go public when the boyfriend has a bunch of drunken mates around too.
Anyone watched trainspotting? The Pam Am video? Paris Hilton?
Tshhh spend money on something useful for Gods sake.
And so...
..The geek *shall* inherit the earth... ;)
About time!
"Mishna says she sees a trend for the traditional victims of bullying - the computer geeks - to turn the tables in the online world."
As a geek who suffered quite a bit at the hands of the rugby jocks in high school, i definitely approve of this new development...
How do you force someone to strip in front of a webcam?
"Take you clothes off!"
"I'll come round your house and make you do it, then. Give me half an hour to cycle round."
You can also block people, as I have discovered when sending pictures of my knob to teenage girls on the internet.
The Year is 1995...
The Year is 1995, I'm 12 years old and let loose with my first scanner, a comprimising photo of a former friend and a 'mail to all' email system.
Nearly 12 years later they have yet to re enable the school email system ;)
Pah, but school sucked later on after that :(
Oh come on...
This is a complete waste of times. You shouldn't feel pity for people who feel they were "forced" to strip down in front of their webcams by someone who chatted with them.
What's different from normal bullying here is that the victim wasn't physically forced to do anything. She could just have said no and be off with it. The problem here isn't online bullying, it's lack of self-esteem, and that's what should be targetted. Stop wasting money on pointless researches and help the kids instead of casually observing what happens.
er... revenge of the geeks is all well and good, but...
we're talking about *kids* having semi nude pictures of themselves over the net, and being displayed to his/her peer group for no other reason than the pleasure the bully gets from the humilliation.
The younger the individual involved, the worse it gets, in most duristictions, owning (semi) nude pictures of minors is considered a sex crime (child porn), and the *maximum* age the survey covered was 18.
and here you are in the comments effectively saying "So?"
yes, i acknowledge that amongst adults, this might be par for the course, but would you want topless pics of your 14 year old daughter bandded about her school?
Thought not.
so, steps are:
Step1: geek uses well known charm and interpersonal skills to persuade girl to send compromising photo
hmm... spot a flaw in the geek revolution...
Oh that's easy...
...just call them up, start reciting all the IEEE 802.11 standards WITH comments or something equally inspiring, and their clothes will be off in no time because they'll be stuffing it in their ears (and no, they won't be hanging up, that takes mental facilities (like awareness of the physical world) never seen in the presence of Standards). THEN activate webcam and Bob's your uncle. :-D
Oh give me a break
So let me understand this.
Someone takes off their clothes on a web-cam under "duress" (which I have serious doubts about) and they are calling it cyberbullying?. (the latest buzzword in a long line of "we must protect the children" blurbs that have little to do with protecting the children and more for seeking an agenda.
I'm sorry, but that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of.
And as for the examples of our well known celeb "sex tapes" that have been "released". I'm sorry, but if you appear on a such a tape, you (both man and woman) run the risk exposure. (How many "tell all" books by various groupies and other such women who actually say "hey I had sex with these people" without regard of their current lives etc.. (ex: http://www.thelondonpaper.com/cs/Satellite/london/news/article/1157146855378?packedargs=aid%3D1157146855378%26suffix%3DArticleController ) Not to mention that personally I think more of them are leaked to keep their names in the press for publicity sake and shock value. (as the old adage goes, even bad press is still press (or words to that effect)
So lets just call it what it is.. indiscriminate behaviour without regard of thought or feeling. (something that both genders do with equal measure and for various reasons). but its not "cyberbullying".
