Cutting Costs With Real-Time Mobile Data
All systems are Reddy.
broad (and non-redundant) categories of electric utility O&M expense is the largest:
1. Transmission O&M;
2. Distribution O&M; or
3. General & Administrative (G&A).
Once again, counter-intuitive though it may seem, the "grab bag" expense category of G&A is the largest for the 100 IOUs reporting to FERC:
For the IOUs under consideration, in each of the last two FERC Form 1 reporting years (2004 and 2003), G&A expenses totaled more than $10 billion per year.
This sum could represent an industry unto itself. More tellingly, this $10 billion in annual G&A spend also exceeds the expenditures of these 100 utilities for their T&D operations and maintenance (O&M) by a significant margin (See Table 1).
When we run year-to-year correlation studies for each of the 100 IOUs across these spending categories over the last 10 years, the correlations for each of the 100 utilities' pairs of numbers in adjacent years ( i.e., not just the smoothness of the totals) are high—in the range of 90 percent—and are similar to the high year-to-year correlation levels found for more tangible items such as distribution plant in service. This suggests that the miscellaneous and G&A categories are not comprised of a large proportion of unique "one-time event" expenses but, like the other O&M and capital items, are run-of-the-mill elements of a utility's ongoing cost structure.
Granted, G&A includes certain fixed costs that are not simply going to go away, but other elements certainly can be improved upon. For example, the $11.7 billion in G&A in 2004 for the 100 IOUs includes $2.1 billion in G&A-related salaries and wages, a number of similar order of magnitude to the $2.9 billion in distribution and $1.7 billion in customer-service and informational related salaries and wages spent by these 100 IOUs for the same year.
A concrete example of the type of clerical workload that can ensue from lack of integration of field operations with back-office functions comes from a mid-sized electric utility in the New England region, which commenced the first few years of this decade with an 18-month backlog in updating its asset model based on electric distribution system construction work. By creating an integration between a new GIS model and field operations/design engineering functions, this backlog (and full-time workload for 28 clerks) eventually was eliminated.
Pepco's implementation of its mobile workforce management (MWM) solution actually began in the early 1990s with metering-related work, and was rolled out across the entire distribution system in 2001. It included integration of more than 1,400 feeder maps from its GIS so that crews no longer rely on paper maps, which were much more difficult to update, according to Sean Kelly, senior project manager at Pepco. More important, according to Kelly, is the EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) architecture Pepco employed to link its MWM system to its customer informtion system. Pepco's MWM, as well as its outage management system, are both from SPL, and the workflows between these two systems and their customer information system have provided a significant improvement in operational efficiency.

**The Official Raw Ratings Thread** (Discuss Ratings In Here)

Re: **The Official Raw Ratings Thread** (Discuss Ratings In Here)
Segment Breakdown
Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter
Raw on 3/5 did a 3.23 rating and 4.61 million viewers. The number of viewers was almost identical, actually down 35,000 from last week but there is no Daytona 500 to use as the reason. There were fewer people watching TV this week than any Monday night so far in 2012, but that only explains 3.2% (the drop from last weeks overall television viewing) and if you factor that in, would be equivalent to 4.76 million normalized viewers, still 1 million less than they were doing at this time last year.
The show was fourth for the night on cable. It did have the same second hour drop as in most weeks, even with everyone knowing a Rock-Cena confrontation was going to end the show.
The show did a 2.2 in teenage boys (down 19% from last week), a 3.1 in Males 18-49 (up 11%), a 1.0 in teenage girls (down 9%) and a 1.1 in Women 18-49 (down 8%). Overall, it was 69.5% male viewers.
In looking at the final segment with the Rock/Cena confrontation, teenage boys went from 2.5 to 2.8, Males 18-49 from 2.9 to 3.6, Teenage girls from 1.1 to 1.2 and Women 18-49 from 1.1 to 1.4.
The show opened at a 3.45 rating for the Michaels-HHH confrontation.
Jack Swagger vs. Santino Marella lost 443,000 viewers.
Rocks first interview plus Alicia Fox vs. Eve Torres gained 338,000 viewers. Thats probably a ton for Rock and losing for the match.
The John Cena empty arena promo lost 382,000 viewers.
C.M. Punk & Sheamus vs. Chris Jericho & Daniel Bryan gained 205,000 viewers to a 3.25, weak for that point in the show.
Rocks Paul Revere promo plus Show vs. Miz lost 121,000 viewers, far less of a drop than usual in that time slot.
Rocks third promo about John Hancock plus Kane vs. R-Truth lost 187,000 viewers.
The Rock/Cena confrontation gained 763,000 viewers to a 3.57 overrun, which is slightly above normal levels. Part of that is because Cena had done one long promo and Rock had done three medium length promos already on the show.

Thomas Covington
Thomas Covington
An Alabama native, hailing from California, Thomas Covington began riding at the age of four. Scoring his first AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn's in 2003, Covington has been making a name for himself in the motocross community, both in the U.S. and internationally.
As Covington's career progressed, he captured the title of the 2011 Loretta Lynn's 250 B National Champion and added it to his resume.
Thomas ended the 2013 season with a high note, capturing the 450 A Motocross Champion title at the 42nd Thor Winter Olympics in Florida.
For 2014, Covington—the only rider representing the Stars and Stripes—has enjoyed travelling overseas, competing in the MX2 class of the 2014 FIM Motocross World Championship. This meant time racing in Qatar, Thailand, and Brazil. Ambitious and unwilling to settle for less than his absolute best effort, Thomas put his skills to the test on the international stage. By traveling abroad Thomas pitted himself against some of the best riders in the world, on tracks unfamiliar to him, which proved to be a good physical and mental exercise.
In a recent interview, Covington thanked Traxxas CEO Mike Jenkins for his belief and support throughout his career. That belief and support has been well placed as Covington continues to rise in the motocross ranks. Slated to step into the pro rankings in motocross in the near future, Thomas is dedicated and focused both on and off the track; expect big things to come in the future.

I have worked as a teacher assistant for many years now. My experience has led me to tutor and assist students ranging from grades Pre-K to the fourth grade. I have seen the best teachers use methods that would encourage students, make them appreciate the subject and want to know more about it. I have never enjoyed, during my time in Elementary, being talked down to by anyone assisting me. For this reason, I try to see the student as an equal who is learning, and does not need to be talked down too. They are asking for help, and my job is to assist and see if we can work together to make the subject more enjoyable.

- Studio: Corinth Films
- Release Date: May 23, 2014
- Summary: David Kern (Daniel Brühl) is a socially awkward waiter who works a dead end job in a chic cafe. One day he stumbles upon the biggest break of his life, an unpublished manuscript which he finds in a jammed nightstand drawer. He reads the manuscript, and thinking there might be something to it, claims it as his own in order to impress Marie, a pretty literature student who frequents the cafe. The manuscript turns out to be a lost masterpiece. Marie is quite taken with this stunning new writer, and is not content to let the hefty document go unpublished, much to David's dismay. With David's guilty conscience nibbling away, a stranger appears - the real author of the story, Jackie Stocker. Jackie wastes no time prying into David's life and turning his newfound fame into a living nightmare. David, unable to comprehend what is unfolding before him, must come to grips with what his deception has caused, and figure out what exactly are Jackie's plans. Will Jackie expose David as a fraud, or will he just "settle" for blackmailing him? Jackie, a shrewd con-man who recognizes opportunity when he sees it, latches onto David for dear life and soon proves to be as much of a weasel as David proves to be auspicious.

Alain Gsponer's well-crafted romantic comedy, glides along on the sheer power of rising German star Daniel Bruhl's boyish charm.
The appealing performances from Brühl and Herzsprung, as well as the film's surprisingly clean sense of composition...keep Lila, Lila moving. But it ultimately suffers from poor characterization.
The actors — the deft Mr. Brühl and the charming Ms. Herzsprung — add what levity they can.

I'm gonna say it loud, and say it clear: DIAL-UP INTERNET ACCESS BLOWS GREEN DONKEY CHUNKS. We are staying in the one place in Chapel Hill that has neither wireless, or an Ethernet plug, and it has untimely ripp'd my ass back to 1996, when downloading porn was an all-night affair. I have about fifty unread emails stacked up in my inbox, filled with delightful links, and pictures, and I have to SAVE them all, because it would take the better part of a weekend to view them now.
Seriously, how is dial-up still tolerated in this country? I feel like I'm using a cat-whisker quartz radio attached to a dipole, powered by hamsters. I know it can't be intellectually true, but this feels slower than the 14400 baud modem on my mom's Powerbook 165c. I think my brother Steve had one of those modems Matthew Broderick used in "War Games," you know, the one where you put your phone receiver down into two upright cups, and the two devices scream at each other – and somehow even that feels faster.
I wonder why we keep hitting ceilings in technology. Dial-up modems kept doubling speed until 56K and then stopped forever. Cable modems are fast, but nobody has offered anything over about 400K/second for years. CD-ROMS will stop recording at 60X speed. Miles per gallon, even the hybrids or the smart cars from Europe, top out in the 50s. Sometimes I think we're so blown away by the fastest technology that we can't fathom something thirty times better.
I believe we are on the cusp of some great new technology, something so simple, pure and unthinkably fast that it will render all of our current gear blitheringly useless. I don't know if it will be based in nanotechnology, or machines on the bio-cellular level, or even a new kind of fuel power. I do know this, however: the latter days of the twentieth century, and the beginning of the 21st, will be regarded as a Dark Age. It will be reviled in history the way the Plague Years of the 1300s and 1660s are now. The future will have no use for our dangerous cities, our belching cars, our brain-cancer inducing cell phones, our loose nukes, nor will it have use for homophobia, racism, and constant fearmongering in the name of power.
How we choose to step off the boat, and onto this brave new land, will define how cool we'll be viewed by history (in the big picture) and our grandchildren (in the personal). I, for one, can't wait. I hope to be just like my grandma was when she saw her first car, driving over the Colorado landscape in 1914: a cloud of dust followed by breathless excitement.

up against these any day – and for about 1/3 the price.On a side note.
thank you for this post. I definitely agree with what you are saying. I have been talking about this subject a lot lately with my mother so hopefully this will get him to see my point of view. Fingers crossed!
I together with my pals appeared to be reading the great tips located on the blog while all of the sudden I had a terrible suspicion I had not thanked the web blog owner for those tips. Those ladies became for this reason passionate to see all of them and have in effect in fact been loving them. Many thanks for simply being very accommodating and then for going for variety of excellent ideas most people are really needing to be informed on. My personal sincere apologies for not saying thanks to you sooner.
Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
I have read several just right stuff here. Definitely value bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how much effort you place to make this kind of wonderful informative web site.
My friend sent me here and I'm pleased! I will definitely bookmark it and come back!
After I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
You can certainly see your expertise in the work you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. Always follow your heart. "If you feel yourself falling, let go and glide." by Steffen Francisco.
yeah,this is great and I like it.I will bookmark it and share on my facebook.
Thanks , I have just been looking for information about this topic for ages and yours is the greatest I've discovered till now. But, what about the conclusion? Are you sure about the source?
I do accept as true with all of the ideas you've introduced to your post. They are very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are too quick for novices. May just you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.
I am experiencing a situation with your rss feed . Don't know why I am not able to subscribe to it. Is there anyone getting identical rss problem? Anyone who is aware of kindly respond. Thanks

Really Good Blog Ya Made Here.. Very Interesting Subject For A Post Keep Up The Interesting Work!
Thanks for sharing excellent informations. Your web-site is very cool. I'm impressed by the details that you've on this blog. It reveals how nicely you understand this subject. Bookmarked this web page, will come back for more articles. You, my friend, ROCK! I found just the information I already searched all over the place and simply couldn't come across. What an ideal web-site.
I've come across that right now, more and more people are now being attracted to cameras and the field of pictures. However, being photographer, you have to first commit so much of your time deciding which model of dslr camera to buy and also moving store to store just so you may buy the most affordable camera of the brand you have decided to pick. But it doesn't end just there. You also have to think about whether you should purchase a digital digicam extended warranty. Thanks a lot for the good ideas I gained from your weblog.

France lead the way in Pool C thanks to their 26-0 victory over Wales with Australia in second. Finally England are making the early headway in Pool A after a comfortable 65-3 Samoa while Canada are hotly on their heels after a bous win against Spain.
Day One of Women's Rugby Worlc Cup 2014 done and dusted. A fantastic day of action in scorching heat in Marcoussis. The defending champions New Zealand kicked everything off with a 79-5 demolition of Kazakhstan to top Pool B from Ireland, who snuck past USA 23-17.
FT France 26-0 Wales. Late try secures bonus point for hosts. Wales with nothing to show for a gutsy display. @irbwomens #WRWC2014
— Dafydd Pritchard (@DafPritchard) August 1, 2014
France's captain Gaelle Mignot: "We are very happy for our first match and to get the victory. The crowd were fabulous."
FULL-TIME: France 26-0 Wales
Bonus-point victory for France but a far from convincing victory. Wales, for large parts, dominated but an interception try by Marion Lievre proved to be the turning point in the contest. The win will settle some nerves though with the French crowd sent home happy and content.
Time has expired as Wales go on the hunt for a score and some points in the French 22.
TRY: France 26-0 Wales (Poublan)
The French crowd will go home happy as Les Bleus secure the bonus point. Camille Grassineau sharp break allows the forwards to set up a massive driving maul. The ball is passed to replacement centre Elodie Poublan, who crashes over from five metres. Le Duff adds the conversion.
YELLOW CARD: Jenny Davies (Wales, 73 minutes)
Wales will end the game with 14. With the penalty count mounting, Wales have tested the patience of Amy Perrett once too often and prop Jenny Davies is sent to the bin for illegally slowing the ball down on her own 10m line.
Ten minutes to go and both teams have sparked into life. End-to-end stuff. Wales fail to capitalise on an overlap on the French left flank.
Exciting last Q here! Harries intercepts for Wales to prevent certain try & Lievre unlucky not to regather a kick for a hat trick! #WRWC2014
— susan carty (@cartysu) August 1, 2014
France still agonizingly close to a fourth try and a precious bonus point. 11 minutes left.
Lievre may not have a better chance to score a hat-trick. Christelle Le Duff weights a kick through and all the French winger needs to do is collect the ball but with the tryline begging, the speedster can only knock forward.
Sioned Harries saves a try with a timely interception. Again, France build off the base of a scrum on the Welsh 10m line. Slick hands leaves a two-on-one before the number eight steps in and ensures the ball is cleared.
Super match Sandrine!#WRWC2014 🏉🇫🇷
— Cyaa (@aliciattrl) August 1, 2014
Wales trying everything to create an opportunity but ferocious French defence is holding the Welsh at bay. Sandrine Agricole is replaced and leaves the pitch to a standing ovation. The flyhalf has been outstanding this evening.
Replacement bench being emptied by both teams. 21 minutes remaining and Wales need a score soon to get themselves back in the contest. Still trail 19-0.
The progress of women's #rugby is impressive. Having coached 2 women's sides I'm not surprised - incredible dedication #WRWC2014
— Mike Parker (@PRtwiTer) August 1, 2014
Immense power shown by France at the scrum sets up another attack for Les Bleues. Wales cynically slow down the ball and are given a final warning by the referee.
MISSED PENALTY: France 19-0 Wales
First opportunity of the second half falls to the boot of Agricole. French are awarded a penalty after Ladagnous is taken out in the air. Not for the first time tonight, however, the French flyhalf is off target. She's made just two of her five kicks this evening.
Exhausted after today's first #WRWC2014 match vs Spain. We needed the win and we got it. Just the beginning we build from here #CANADA
— Andrea Burk (@ABurk_) August 1, 2014
Like the first half Wales have started the second period dominating possession. Just a lack of precision the difference between the two teams at the moment.
Wales need to pick up the pace and physicality against France - 19-0 down at half time. #WRWC2014— Melissa Wright (@Melissa Wright) 01/08/2014 21:41
From attacking maestro to defensive demon, Agricole thwarts a Welsh attack in the French 22 with a sublime steal at the ruck to win an early penalty.
Back underway in Marcoussis. 40 minutes remaining on day one of Women's Rugby World Cup 2014.

Plenty of praise on social media for Lievre and Agricole. The pair have been the stars for France in the first half.
Vu son talent, je ne suis pas étonné que Sandrine Agricole ait donné son nom à des tas de lycées. #WRWC2014
— Professeur Bang (@ProfesseurBang) August 1, 2014
HALF-TIME: France 19-0 Wales
Three tries in 15 minutes, including a brace for Marion Lievre, put France comfortably ahead at the break. Wales, though, for large parts of the first half were on top. The interception try the pivotal moment in a pulsating opening 40.
TRY: France 19-0 Wales (Lievre)
Agricole and Lievre are quite a formidable duo. A goregous break from Caroline Ladagnous moves France into the Welsh 22. From the recycled ball, Agricole drops an inch perfect crossfield kick into the waiting arms of Lievre who drops over the line. To add salt to the wounds Agricole nails the coversion from the touchline.
TRY: France 12-0 Wales (Izar)
It's been coming for France. For the first time they get a period of possession in the Welsh 22 and the forwards go barging over gainline. Agricole sucks in Wales's defence before throwing a beautiful floaty pass into the arms of Shanon Izar, who beats one defender before diving over. Agricole misses the conversion.
Chants of 'Allez les filles' ring around the Marcoussis as France mount attack after attack in the Welsh 22.
Wales are their own worst enemies at the moment. France are creating little, yet lead 7-0 after half an hour.
Lievre's score has woken the crowd up but the try was very much against the run of play. Wales are immediately back on the front foot with a scrum on the French 10m line.
TRY: France 7-0 Wales (Lievre)
She was denied in the opening minute but there is no stopping speedster Marion Lievre on this occasion. Wales on the attack but a floaty pass is well read by the winger who steps in to intercept the ball and glides effortlessly 80m to score. Sandrine Agricole adds the conversion.
French crowd are restless. No score in 24 minutes and Wales with the better of the action to this point. A few vociferous boos are heard as Les Bleues are penalised at a scrum.
Another good attacking platform is wasted by Wales. From a scrum in the middle of the field, the Welsh move the ball left looking to stretch the French defence but a knock-on hands possession back to France, who clear their 22.
Exciting start here as hosts France take on Wales, not much between these sides with just over 15 mins gone #WRWC2014
— susan carty (@cartysu) August 1, 2014
Wales camped in the French 22 but a lack of precision costs them on this occasion as Rachel Taylor is accidentally offside. 18 minutes in, still no score and the referee says it's time for a waterbreak.
France under a lot of pressure early from Wales with the women in red managing to silence the passionate home crowd in Marcoussis. Encouraging signs at the moment for the Welsh, who are building phases of play nicely.
Wales enjoying the best of the early stages. Very physical up front and they are rewarded with a penalty which the kick into touch for an attacking lineout 5m out. A poor throw, however, means the opportunity is wasted.
Open start to the game with both sides keen to play with ball in hand. Both defence's drifting across well though.
Amazing start France counter-attack 80m from a defending scrum. Wales's scrambling defence is magnificent though and they force the turnover and win the penalty.
Wales get the final fixture of day one underway. Both teams in their traditional blue and red strips.

Two teams making their way out for the anthems with temperatures around 22C. It means water breaks at 20 and 60 minutes so the game is almost being played in four quarters rather than two halves.

England's vice-captain Sarah Hunter: "At times we executed our gameplan but Samoa were excellent and made it really hard for us throughout the game. They brought everything. We really had to work for the victory."
FULL-TIME: England 65-3 Samoa
The odds were always going to be stacked against Samoa once they were reduced to 14 men in the opening 10 minutes of the match but England showed a ruthless streak running in 10 tries in an emphatic victory. They join Canada at the top of Pool A.
TRY: England 65-3 Samoa (Wilson)
Simple rugby at it's finest results in England's 10th try. Moving it one way and then the other allows Kay Wilson the simple task of running into the corner to score. Scarratt can't add to the points tally with the conversion.

PENALTY: England 60-3 Samoa (Milo)
Samoa really do deserve that for all of their hard effort and work. Brenda Milo makes no mistake in front of the posts from the Packer penalty.
YELLOW CARD: Marlie Packer (England, 72 minutes)
At least the game will end 14 v 14. England's penalty count has been high and Amy Perrett has seen enough sending Packer to the bin for 10 minutes.
Into the last nine minutes and Samoa's pain is almost over. They've tried their best but 70 minutes with 14 players would be tough for anyone.
TRY: England 60-0 Samoa (Scarratt)
Too right Melissa. Emily Scarratt has worked her socks off all day and gets her just rewards. Maggie Alphonsi shows some nifty footwork on the left touchline before a gorgeous offload allows Scarratt to canter in under the posts. The centre adds the conversion, taking her individual points tally to 20.
Work rate from @EmilyScarratt scientifically unreal. 2 tackles in 4 seconds. What a performance. #WRWC2014 #ENGvSAM
— Melissa Wright (@mjhwright) August 1, 2014
TRY: England 53-0 Samoa (Mason)
Half-century of points for England. Poor old Samoa are just sapped of energy. Another rumbling break into the 22 and the defence fails to cover the blindside, gifting subsitute Toya Mason with a simple finish in the left-hand corner. Scarratt conversion is wide of the posts.
Into the final quarter of England and Samoa. Will Thompson, Merchant or Hunt grab their hat-trick?
Big win in our first #WRWC2014 game over Spain. Next up Samoa! Big thx to all the Canadian fans watching on @TSN_Sports and on the sidelines
— Jacey Murphy (@jaceymurphy) August 1, 2014
Samoa back to 14 players. A fantastic effort by the 13 women for 10 minutes but that period of play would have taken a lot out of them.
TRY: England 48-0 Samoa (Large)
England rediscover their flowing touch. Fantastic move from their own 22m line, started by Lydia Thompson is finished off by Ceri Large. Samoa do their best to cover but are simply overwhelmed by the women in red. At least three players were queuing up to score but Large takes the honours. Scarratt adds the conversion. Still 20 minutes to go.
TRY: England 41-0 Samoa (Hunt)
As gutsy as Samoa have been, England have shown some fabulous skills in attack. Natasha Hunt, who has been at the centre of everything good about the Reds' performance, throws a lovely dummy to baffle the Blues defence before gliding 30m across the turf to touchdown for her second try. Scarratt adds the conversion.
Samoa will win many plaudits for this gutsy display. England struggling for fluidity despite playing against 13. For a moment the Blues are down to 11 with two players down injured. A chance for both teams to take on some water with this momentary stoppage.
Sin-bin is a huge shame for Samoa. They had started well in the second half and were on top but that Collins' yellow will kill any momentum they were building.
Natasha Hunt not only are you a scrum half, you love a snipe, your a steady 8! Me and you have some stuff in common!! #WRWC2014 #womensrugby
— charlie hurst (@charliehurst94) August 1, 2014
YELLOW CARD: Helen Collins (Samoa, 49 minutes)
Samoa were warned in the first half for diving over the top but Helen Collins just couldn't resist doing it once more at the breakdown. Referee Amy Perrett won't stand for it and the Blues are reduced to 13.
Much like the first half, Samoa have started powerfully at the breakdown. England not rolling away at the breakdown and the referee puts the women in red on a final warning.
MISSED PEN: England 34-0 Samoa
Wow. Amazing. Samoa can't find the kicking tee so have to take a drop goal for the penalty. A great effort by Mac Collins but it sails just wide. Meanwhile, there's a man with a hefty set of lungs screaming "ENGLAND" at the top of his voice. Seems he has a family connection...
Rumours coming in that the phantom "England" shouter could be prop @KeatesyL's dad! He's got a decent pair of lungs on him #carrythemhome

Back underway for the second half between England and Samoa. Early opportunity for the Blues to get on the board as England penalised for at the breakdown.

HALF-TIME: England 34-0 Samoa
Ruthless display of rugby by England against the 14 women of Samoa. Five tries all stunning in their own right with a brace each for Thompson and Merchant with Hunt adding the fifth.
Ireland captain Fiona Coughlan: "The New Zealand game is the one we're going to focus on now - obviously they had a great win today. If we can step it up another level, it'll be a great game."
TRY: England 34-0 Samoa (Hunt)
Sensational solo try for Natasha Hunt. Samoa penalised on the England 10m line, Hunt takes the quick-tap and beats five defenders to score from 60m. Scarratt unable to add the conversion.
USA captain Kate Daley:
"Obviously we knew it was going to be a challenging game, but we still have two more games and the tournament's not over. We have two more games that we can win - I feel confident in my team."
TRY: England 29-0 Samoa (Thompson)
England secure the bonus point as Lydia Thompson eases her way over for her second score of the game. Slick hands allows the Worcester wing to a tackle free passage over the tryline. Scarratt adds the conversion from the touchline.
A gutsy victory for Ireland who showed enormous amounts of heart to hang on against a USA side that threw everything at them in the second half. In the end it was Ireland's resilence in defence that won them that game, while the USA will bemoan too many small errors at inopportune times.
Electric pace from @Lbthom1... outrageous speed on the @EnglandRugby wing #Wheels #WRWC2014
— Emma Thurston (@EmmaThurston23) August 1, 2014
England sensing chance to run up a cricket score here camped in the Samoan 22. Half-time can't come soon enough for the Blues.
Niamh Briggs feels the nerves and misses a penalty in front of the posts... the USA have one final roll of the dice to claw their way to victory.
TRY: England 22-0 Samoa (Thompson)
Jaws. Duly. Dropped. Undoubtedly the try of the day scored by Lydia Thompson with defenders reeling in her wake following a sensational 70m run up the left flank. Picking the ball up from an almost static position, she accelerates past her marker before zooming up the line and under the posts. And Emily Scarratt adds the extras. Just brilliant.
I'm wrecked watching this game! COME ON IRELAND! #WRWC2014
— Shane Culleton (@ShaneCulleton) August 1, 2014
Briggs looks for the full house with a drop goal attempt, but it sails wide. Still a six point ball game between USA and Ireland. Breathless stuff.
TRY: England 15-0 Samoa (Merchant)
Lovely interplay from England and maurading winger Kat Merchant is on hand again to score under the posts as she latches onto Katy McLean's deft offload. Scarratt adds the coversion.
Like Sara says once again Kat Merchant shows her silky footwork with her first try.
With 10 minutes to go there can't be many fingernails left amongst the USA and Ireland fans in Marcoussis. Both sides are back to their full compliment of players, and there are still only six points in it. What a finale we have in store.
TRY: England 8-0 Samoa (Merchant)
Try number 42 of Kat Merchant's international career. Fantastic solo score by the England winger beating several Samoan defenders from 45m. Scarratt's conversion hits the upright.

PEN: USA 17-23 Ireland (Briggs)
Briggs compounds USA's misery with a well-struck penalty to give Ireland the smallest amount of breathing space.
PENALTY: England 3-0 Samoa (McLean)
Katy McLean converts in front of the posts after the penalty for the red card.
Yellow Card: Shaina Turley (USA, 58 mins)
Cynical play from Turley at the breakdown and USA are down to 14 for the second time in the game.
Excellent contest here, ferocious battle at the breakdown #IRLvUSA #COYGIG #WRWC2014
— Harpin' On Rugby (@HarpinOnRugby) August 1, 2014
RED CARD: Soteria Pulumu (Samoa, 12 minutes)
No option for Amy Perrett but to send Pulumu off. The Samoan fullback is adjugded to have taken England's Natatsha Hunt beyond the horizontal and not brought her safely back to the ground.
Samoa's physicality is immense. They have knocked England back in several tackles in the opening 10 minutes.
Samoa are far from daunted at prospect of facing England. They are enjoying the opening exchanges of the match and are on the front foot.
It's still USA 17-20 Ireland. The Eagles are battering away at the Irish defensive line, but it holds firm and they force a knock-on to relieve the pressure for a bit.
Scrum half Danny Care joining several high-profile supporters including Prince Harry and Prime Minister David Cameron to wish England good luck in this competition.
Best of luck to the @EnglandRugby girls playing this evening in the World Cup! Let's all get right behind them! #carrythemhome

Samoa playing in their tradition blue strip while England are in their changed colours of red with white strips as Katy McLean gets the game underway.
Five minutes until England and Samoa kick-off in Pool A. Plenty of English fans have made the trip to Marcoussis, a jaunty 25km from the French capital and home of France's national centre for rugby. A fitting setting.
TRY: USA 17-20 Ireland (Farmer)
That's exactly the start Ireland didn't want, with USA Carmen Farmer crashing over for a five-pointer. Astonishingly, Farmer only started playing rugby two years ago, so a great moment for her. Rozier adds the extras again.
Ireland, with an average age of just under 30, boast the oldest squad at the tournament - they're going to need all that experience to hold onto this lead over a motivated USA side. The players are back out and we're about to get underway in the second half.
End to end stuff at this game between @IrishRugby and @USARugby Women. Could go either way, but I'm feeling Ireland can do it. #WRWC2014

— Pink Link Sports (@PinkLinkSports) August 1, 2014
A real pendulum of a half there, with the momentum swinging back and forth between Ireland and the USA. Both sides have been guilty of too much indiscipline which has resulted in a yellow card apiece, but it has been Ireland who have shown the greater clinical edge to take them in ahead at the break.
Craig is quite right. We are just over 15 minutes away from the 2010 runners-up taking their bow in the tournament against Samoa.
Now its time for England!! Lets make a good start!! #WRWC2014
— Craig Hickman (@idratherbeabear) August 1, 2014
TRY: USA 10-20 Ireland (Briggs)
Brazen, bullocking forward play from Ireland as their pack marches towards the line and, bizarrely, it's fullback Niamh Briggs that pops up at the bottom of the pile of bodies. She goes on to convert her own try.
PEN: USA 10-13 Ireland (Rozier)
That yellow card offence also yields an easy three-point opportunity for the USA - Kimber Rozier makes no mistake from in front of the posts.
Yellow Card: Claire Molloy (Ireland, 34 mins)
Molloy joins USA's Walsh in the sinbin as Ireland are reduced to 14.
"It's pretty hot out there," said Australian captain Shannon Parry. "But we will take the win. It was a good first half performance and good to get a hit out but there's more to come from us.". Australia face Wales in their next Pool C match on Tuesday.
Looks like Australia missed out on BP in 26-3 win over SA. Early stage but that could be good news for Ireland. #WRWC2014
— Brendan Cole (@brendcole) August 1, 2014
TRY: USA 7-13 Ireland (Egan)
Relentless pressure from the Irish as they pound away at the Eagles' line, eventually yielding a try for prop Ailis Egan. No less than they deserved for a period of sustained dominance. Briggs adds the extras.
Yellow Card: Sarah Walsh (USA, 29 mins)
Great image there of the Canadian players thanking the fans who were out in force to cheer them on earlier. What rugby is all about.

FULL-TIME: Australia 26-3 South Africa
Impressive opening victory for Australia. Ashleigh Hewson will take the plaudits with 16 points. Work to do for South Africa, who showed flashes of excellency but were error stewn throughout.
One minute to go. Australia with possession. One last shot at securing a bonus point?
Australia back to their full compliment of players as Buttler returns from her sin-bin.
Niamh Briggs, a member of the Garda in another life, is starting to run the show now. She dabs a deft little grubber kick to pin the USA back on their own five metre line.
Under five minutes to go between Australia and South Africa. Can Shannon Parry's team score a fourth try and secure a bonus point?

TRY: Australia 26-3 South Africa (Brown)
Third try for Australia. Quick hands through the backline sets up Tricia Brown to dive over in the corner. Hewson misses the conversion.
It's still 7-6 to USA over Ireland, but the Eagles have had territorial dominance and it's really only due to some superbly dogged defence from Ireland that they're not further behind.
It's taken half an hour in the second half but an Australian penalty gives Hewson the opportunity to add to the lead. It's a long-range effort and the full back comes close striking the left upright.
Great shot of Magali Harvey there - she was truly sensational earlier for Canada. Certainly one to keep your eye on for the rest of the tournament.

PEN: USA 7-6 Ireland (Briggs)
Another sweetly struck penalty from Niamh Briggs glides between the sticks and it's a one-point ball game.
YELLOW CARD: Chloe Butler (63 mins, Australia)
Chloe Butler goes off her feet to kill a South African attack. Leah Berard has no hesitation in showing the yellow card.
TRY: USA 7-3 Ireland (Kugler)
Superb line picked by back row Lynelle Kugler as she crashes over from close range. The conversion is good and the Eagles are out in front.
PEN: USA 0-3 Ireland (Briggs)
Niamh Briggs gets the scoring underway in this one, slotting a penalty to give Ireland the lead.
Australia and South Africa reach the mid-point of the second-half and the players stop for a well-deserved water break, it's steaming hot out there in the golden Parisian sunshine. Plenty of mistakes in the last 20 minutes with no addition to the scoreboard. The Aussies still lead 21-3.

Weston's sin-bin is over and South Africa have survived the 10 minutes without conceding. Score remains 21-3 to Australia.
No rest for the wicked - the games are coming thick and fast here in Marcoussis. USA vs Ireland is about to kick-off in Pool B, and it's great to see the smiling faces of the Irish and American players as they belt out their anthems - you can really see what it means to them to be here.
Canada open proceedings in Pool A with a comfortable win against Spain. Later today, England will look to put pressure on them with a win of their own over Samoa - and they're looking relaxed as they arrive in Marcoussis.
Despite being down to 14, South Africa are showing great fight. Australia still dominating possession but the Springboks are staying strong in defence. Two minutes left before the sin-binned Weston can rejoin the action.

— England Rugby (@EnglandRugby) August 1, 2014
They've survived three minutes without Weston but this is a pivotal moment in the game for South Africa. If they are to stand any chance of getting back into this match, they will need to limit the damage during the sin-bin.
YELLOW CARD: Shona-Leah Weston (South Africa, 45 mins)
They were threatened in the first-half and referee Berard has finally had enough. Substitute Weston deliberately kills the ball on the floor and South Africa are down to 14. Australia will relish the opportunity to make their numerical advantage count.
South Africa beginning the second half with a sustained period in the Australian half. The Women's Springboks have made their first change full back Cindy Cant being replaced by Siviwe Basweni.
Australia and South Africa are back underway...
A scrappy second half comes to an end, but really this game was decided by one of the best 40 minute performances you'll see this World Cup. Magali Harvey was simply sensational in the first half, scoring 24 unanswered points to take the game out of Spain's reach. The Spanish battled hard, but ultimately it was Harvey's brilliance that made the difference.
Half time. Awesome work by both teams, Australia leading 21 - 3 #WRWC2014 #AUSvsSTHAFRICA

HALF-TIME: Australia 21-3 South Africa
Fantastic first half for Australia. Full back Ashleigh Hewson has been the star with a try, three pens and a conversion but the Wallabies' forwards have been sensational in setting a platform for the backs. In the rare moments that South Africa have touched the ball they've looked dangerous.
Olivia DeMerchant is back on the pitch after her stint in the sinbin, by the way. Incidentally, she plays her club rugby for the Woodstock Wildmen - a superb name for a rugby club. They probably have some decent post-match shindigs, too.
Not sure what Monsieur Bastareaud would have to say about the tweet below, but there's no doubt these Australian backs are impressing against South Africa.
Huge opportunity for South Africa on the stroke of half-time. Slick handling sees the backs gets the greens onto the Australian tryline - only for a knock-on to end the attack. Big chance missed.
Quand tu te rends compte que les 3/4 australiennes ont plus de skills que Mathieu Bastareaud. #WRWC2014
— 日本ラグビー (@Japonrugbynet) August 1, 2014
Ashleigh Hewson is stealing the show for Australia. Not for the first time in this first half she breaks several South African tackles, here offload can't be gathered by her teammates.
PEN: Australia 21-3 South Africa (Hewson)
Australia immediately back on the front foot and Hewson has brought her kicking boots today. She makes no mistake in front of the posts.
The second forty has proved to be a more error-strewn one between the Canadians and the Spaniards, but it's taking nothing away from the entertainment here in Marcoussis. It's still 31-0 with a little over 15 minutes to go.
Come on @WomenBoks !! Penalty 5m out... #WRWC2014

PEN: Australia 18-3 South Africa (Kinsey)
Gadu's break has woken the South Africans up as the forwards go driving towards the Australian line. The Wallabies go off their feet at the breakdown, offering a chance for the Women's Springboks to get themselves on the scoreboard and Tayla Kinsey makes no mistake.
Yellow Card: Olivia DeMerchant (Canada)
Cynical play from replacement DeMerchant at the breakdown, and she sees yellow.
From nowhere South Africa almost get themselves on the scoreboard. A floaty pass goes awry for Australia and is scooped up by Phumeza Gadu but the winger can't get herself over the line.
Ashleigh Hewson is certainly playing well. #WRWC2014
— SuckerForRed (@SuckerForRed) August 1, 2014
A nice welcome message from the French sevens side there - there's plenty of crossover between the longer and shorter forms of the game, and a lot of the women on show here have been tearing it up on the sevens circuit in recent times, including Canada try-scorere Marchak.
It is an honor to host this Women's Rugby World Cup in Paris. Welcome to all the players, their families and friends. #WRWC2014 #Paris2014

TRY: Australia 18-0 South Africa (Hewson)
Superb stuff from Ashleigh Hewson. Once again the Australian forwards set the platform with some rumbling ventures over the gainline. The fullback hits the line at speed beating two defenders to score in the corner. She can't add the conversion though.
TRY: Canada 31-0 Spain (Marchak)
Lovely pass in midfield gives Mandy Marchak the chance to sweep through the Spanish defence, and the sevens player burns away from the defence to cross for the first try of the second half. Harvey adds the extras.
Watching women's rugby, SA vs AUS. Some huge hits in this game #WRWC2014
— Mr G (@Ryan_Ganga) August 1, 2014
Nineteen minutes into the opening game of Pool C and the players have stopped for a water break, a much-needed pause for South Africa who have really struggled so far against a rampant Australia.
No scores in the second half of Canada vs Spain thus far - but fear not Canada fans, Magali Harvey is back out and looks injury free. Nip and tuck stuff at the moment.
PEN: Australia 13-0 South Africa (Hewson)
South Africa are in danger of having someone sent to the sin-bin shortly. Referee Leah Berard warns the Women's Springboks for repeated infringements. This time it's for hands in the ruck and Hewson again makes them pay with the penalty.
Loving the hype surrounding the #WRWC2014!! This is the type of recognition women's rugby deserves!!
— Sioned Davies (@siencs123) August 1, 2014
PEN: Australia 10-0 South Africa (Hewson)
It is relentless from Australia at the breakdown and South Africa are pinned from holding on in the own 22. Ashleigh Hewson makes them pay from 28m in front of the posts.
Australia are camped in the South African half. Once more Morgan and Williams combined on the right flank but a sloppy piece of handling ends the attack.
Considering that Australia haven't only played two matches sine the last World Cup, they have started very well. South Africa struggling to get possession.
As Grace points out below, it really has been the Magali Harvey show in the first half. Slightly worryingly she was being attended to by the physio in the last couple of minutes of that half - more on that as it comes in.
Why a try! Great ball retention, good shape, good tempo, great control fair play oz #WRWC2014 @UCLUwomensrugby take note

TRY: Australia 7-0 South Africa (Williams)
Just two minutes on the clock and we have our first try. A piece of individual brilliance from Cobie-Jane Morgan sets up her centre partner Sharni Williams to score under the posts. Ashleigh Hewson adds the conversion.
It's been all about one woman in the first half. Canada's Magali Harvey has absolutely ripped up in Marcoussis, scoring three tries, three conversions and a penalty to send her side in comfortably ahead. The Spaniards have threatened, but little inaccuracies - knock-ons, offsides - have let them down at crucial times.
Two rousing perfromances of the Australian and South African national anthems. The Springboks get us underway.

He said the main landing gear touched down first, and as the airplane's nose landing gear made contact with the runway, the airplane "jerked" upward. The pilot lowered the nose, and after the airplane touched down again, it bounced upward again. When the airplane landed for a third time, the nose landing gear collapsed, causing structural damage to the composite airplane. The airplane departed the runway where it came to rest upright in the dirt. A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector interviewed the pilot. The pilot stated that he did not feel anything "unusual in the flight controls or in [their] response," the weather was not a factor, and there were no other outside distractions during the landing.

In a saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onion in butter and salt until translucent.
In a large mixing bowl, place a paper bowl in the middle of the bowl. Resting the cob on the bowl in a vertical position remove only the tops of the kernel with a knife, using long smooth downward strokes and rotating the cob as you go. After the cob has been stripped, use the dull backside of your knife to scrape any remaining pulp and milk off the cob.
Add the corn and pulp mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium high until the juice from the corn has tightened. Add the rosemary. Sprinkle the corn with the sugar and turmeric. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the cornmeal onto the corn, using a whisk to combine well. Add the heavy cream and cook until the corn has softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the rosemary. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

If you haven't heard Atlas Genius yet, fret not. Chances are, the Aussie indie pop band will be comfortably squished between the likes of MGMT and Arcade Fire in your rotation soon enough. After the release of their catchy debut EP Through the Glass, the band is on the road with the Silversu ... More >>
The Silversun Pickups have found that ever-elusive sweet spot, where radios play their music and real fans still listen to it. The band's third release, Neck Of The Woods, is their best album to date -- and one that stands alone in a category that most music has left behind. On it, a template heav ... More >>

Aniruddh was the grandson of Shree Krishn and Rukminee, and the son of Pradyumn and Rukmvatee. He was married to Rukmee's son's daughter Rochanaa. He was married to Baanaasur's daughter Ooshaa also. He is also said to be the Ansh Avataar of Vaasudev as his father Pradyumn (Avataar of Kaam Dev). Baanaasur's daughter Ooshaa saw him in her dream and got attracted to him. Her best friend Chitralekhaa was very good in sketching, so she drew numerous sketches to find who he was who had attracted her friend. From those sketches Ooshaa recognized Aniruddh's sketch. Then Chitralekhaa brought him to Ooshaa's palace while he was sleeping, to please her friend. He stayed there for some time. There he forgot the time scale. When Baanaasur came to know about him, he got very angry and got ready to fight with him. Then Krishn and Pradyumn came to fight with Baanaasur. Baanaasur's Nagar was guarded by Shankar Jee, so they faced Shankar Jee there. In the end Shiv Jee requested Krishn ...moreAnswered by DR DINESH SHARMA, 09 Aug '09 01:51 am

Chelsea: The 14th Annual New York Chocolate Show (The Worlds Largest Event Dedicated To Chocolate) continues through Sunday at the Metropolitan Pavilion (18th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues). More than 65 chocolate companies will be on hand to exhibit their work, along with chocolatiers and pastry chefs performing cooking demonstrations. This years event also includes a Kids Zone, complete with a Wonka-ish chance to find wrapper-hidden tickets to a production of Peter Pan at Madison Square Garden. Show hours run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $30-$35 in advance and $35-$40 at the door. Two children ages 5-12 are admitted free, with each additional child ticket priced at $8. Children 4 and under receive free admission. [Diners Journal/NYT]
East Village: Last month, we learned that the German restaurant Heartbreak had taken the lovelorn title to its natural end by closing for good. The latest reports from owner Christos Valtzoglou suggest the space will go Greek in its next incarnation. No word on a name yet, but a sensible reading of the locations history would suggest shying away from Melancholia or Unrequited. [EV Grieve]
Flatiron District: Today is your chance to relish Zios Mediterranean-Italian dishes at Greek diner prices. The restaurant is offering a special menu of $11 items, including an appetizer (sautéed mussels), entrée (penne pasta or filet of grey sole) and glass of Barbaresco wine. If you still have room for more - and if you dont, make room - finish things off with an $11 plate of cookies or tiramisu. [Grub Street]
Hells Kitchen: Burger bistro 5 Napkin Burger joins the 11/11/11 pile-on (and with a name like that, why wouldnt they?) with their own special discount: Dine during the 11 p.m. hour and take 11% off your final bill. The elevens deal also applies to 5 Napkins Astoria and UWS locations. [Grub Street]
Midtown: For those that cant or dont want to trek to Bed-Stuy for Doughs delicious donuts, there is now another option. On Mondays and Fridays, Dough goodies make their way across the East River (but please dont associate the two) and over to the Culture Espresso Bar, at 38th Street between Fifth and Sixth Aves. By Midtown Lunchs account, the yeast-raised donuts disappear quickly upon their arrival. Get to Culture early to avoid missing out. [Midtown Lunch]
Another kiosk opens in the Times Squares pedestrian alley today. Nuchas offers inspired hand-held foods, including pastries and six kinds of empanadas. [Midtown Lunch]
Soho: From November 13 through the 20, ellabess will be accepting food donations for the Bowery Mission. Get a jump on Thanksgivings feel-goodness by bringing in canned vegetables, turkeys, sweet potatoes, yams, potatoes, instant mashed potatoes, pies, canned or frozen veggies and individually wrapped snacks between 7 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. In appreciation, donors will receive a voucher for a complimentary snack or appetizer. [Grub Street]
Upper West Side: The Childrens Museum of Manhattan kicks off its Family Chef Series this weekend. The series - part of CMOMs new EatSleepPlayTM: Building Health Every Day exhibition - partners the museum with the nonprofit culinary organization, The James Beard Foundation, in order to teach families and children new recipes and raise awareness about healthy eating. The first program in the series takes place Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Chef Bill Telepan of the eponymous UWS restaurant will lead a food demonstration, tasting and Q session for adults and children five and older. For more details, visit cmon.org or call 212-721-1234. [Grub Street]
If no dessert is more American than apple pie, then nothing quite takes Mericana up a notch more than a contest to eat the most apple pie. The Fairway Café (Broadway at 74th Street) will stage just this sort of contest on Sunday from 9:30-10:00 a.m. Sixteen contestants will have ten minutes to gorge themselves for a chance to win a $100 Fairway gift card. To sign up, call 212-595-1888. Note that contestants must be 18 or older. Because lets be honest: no one has a chance against a child or teenager inhaling free pie. [Diners Journal/NYT]
West Village: Tiramisu trailblazer Dolce Vizio has laid new ground in its quest to discover seemingly every permutation of the Italian dessert. Available varieties now include Pineapple Granola and Coffee Caramel. The former employs heavy use of pineapple and pineapple juice during preparation, and the self-evident ingredients of the Coffee Caramel tiramisu are topped off with coconut flakes. With menu delights like these, the build-your-own option will soon feel superfluous. [Serious Eats NY]
