Great Vacation Spot
"I spent March and april in this great apartment and it couldn't have worked out better for me. The apartment had large sized rooms with crown moldings that were tastefully and comfortably decorated. It felt much more like a home than an apartment. The kitchen was more than adequately equipped and having the dining room was a real bonus. The outdoor patio area with the gardens made you feel like you were far away from the city. It was quiet, very clean and the owner, Jon, was always helpful and available if needed. Victoria Park is a great area and near the beach and the Los Olas area that has great shops and restaurants. I found the location was never more than 10 minutes from where I wanted to be. I will definitely plan another trip to this great vacation spot."

Delightful apartment in historic area
"This place is a real gem! We stayed a month in this spacious, beautifully appointed apartment. The extra bath and office alcove was a plus. The location is perfect--in quiet, lovely Victoria Park, an oasis of calm in the city. The property is a short drive to many restaurants, a movie theater, supermarket, etc., as well as to downtown Ft. Lauderdale and its attractions. Las Olas, the Galleria and the beach are also near. The owner lives on site and is most accommodating, besides being an excellent companion for evening drinks on the patio. We hope to stay here again."

We escaped Winter & found Paradise!
"Immediately upon meeting Jon (the owner) and seeing the condo, we were speechless! Not only is Jon a great person who obviously puts a great deal of care into the apartment, but he also does so much to ensure his guests have everything they need to enjoy their stay. Unit #2 looked very nice online, and the price was impossible to pass up, but the space is larger and more beautiful than you'd think, and the amenities might just make you sorry to head back home again. If your travels bring you to Fort Lauderdale, you'll be sorry (and so will your wallet) if you decide to stay somewhere other than Hidden Gardens. Signed, Very happy New Englanders."

Nice apartment and convenient location
"Due to kitchen remodeling I needed a comfortable clean place to stay with complete kitchen and safe area. Hidden Gardens met these requirements and more. It is located very close via car to downtown Fort Lauderdale, great restaurants, stores and beaches. The owner was very helpful with information and additional requests. Oh, I almost forgot and I was able to bring my 2 doggies along for the stay. This apartment is on the first floor so I could go out easily to walk doggies any time of day :)"

Quiet and Comfortable
"This apartment is located in one of the nicest and prettiest areas of Victoria Park, an old Fort Lauderdale neighborhood within walking distance of the renowned Las Olas shopping district. The apartment is quite nice, spacious, clean, and well managed. The listing for this property is accurate in every way, and the pictures are truly representative. My partner and I were very comfortable living there for several weeks. We have a little dog and it was a pleasure to be able to take him on walks in the lovely tree-shaded neighborhood. The owner, Jon, lives on site and is very attentive to maintenance of the property. The garden area is a real delight, and Jon takes a great deal of pride in its upkeep. Jon is quite business-like and is always solicitous of the needs of his tenants. He was a wonderful host and made us feel "at home." The apartment is well and comfortably furnished. It's spacious--with a separate dining room, office area, and laundry room. I highly recommend this facility."

Great Place to Stay
"I just came back from a week's vacation in Fort Lauderdale where I stayed at Hidden Gardens Victoria Park apt #2. The apt is great and close to all that you need. Las Olas Blvd and the Beach are both within minutes drive. The apt has all that you need - it was clean, in good order, and felt like home for the week. Jon was really helpful and always available to answer any questions if needed. If it's available, this will be where I stay the next time I go to Fort Lauderdale - definite repeat!"

Could not be a better place to stay in Fort Lauderdale
"I have a picky wife when it comes to going away from home. She absolutely loved everything about our stay. The apartment was the same or even better than the pictures. Spacious, clean, organized, well kept and had all the amenities anyone could ask for. Jon, the owner, is a great person. He wants to make sure your stay is the best he can make it. Always willing to help. We sent merchandise via FedEx before we left our native country, he was kind to hold it for us until we arrived. Since it is his property, he takes very good care of everything. Nothing is out of place, all the plants are very well taken care of. I just have to thank Jon for the great month we had in South Florida. Since everyone stays at least 10 hours a day in the "home", hotel they rent, it's very important that this experience is worth money and time. Give yourself this treat. I just have to finish by saying, sometimes 5 stars are just not enough."

A Great Stay in Victoria Park
"Thank goodness I chose the Hidden Gardens, it was just what I needed. Its in a quiet neighborhood, off the beaten path but very close to downtown Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas. I live in Fort Lauderdale and can say this spot in Victoria Park is a great location. I recently stayed in apt.2 which has very nice furniture and a bed that makes it tough to get out of. Its so relaxing there and I really liked the patio area which is ideal for breakfast or evenings under the stars. Thanks to the owner Jon, for being accessible and for making all of my arrangements such a breeze. He kept good contact throughout and takes care of the property well. I'm a fan of the Hidden Gardens, and will definitely recommend this place to my relatives when they're in town. Thanks Jon!"

"My wife and I spent two weeks in this tastefully decorated and well maintained spacious apartment. It is a peaceful loocation ideally situated and within walking distance to Fort Lauderdales excellent Water Taxi's and many wonderful Restaurant options.You can drive easily to many tourist attractions in South Florida from here. The owner Jon is extremely helpful without being intrusive and obviously takes pride in what he does.

Garden Spot!
"My wife and I have just completed 3 wonderful months at Hidden Gardens. Jon, the owner, was always available if I had any questions (such as what is the Wi-Fi password).. The apartment is very nicely appointed and had all of the necessary equipment to make it possible to eat in comfortably. The mattress was firm and for one with a bad back it was just perfect. The apartment was spotless and the fact that it was cleaned for us every other week was very pleasant. The neighborhood is very attractive and quiet. We took walks most evenings and felt very safe. I am a tennis player and the Jimmy Evert (that is Chris Evert's father) Tennis Center is a 15 minute walk away. You can pick up a game there any morning-just show up at 0745 and ask for Chris. The photos on the site are exactly as the apartment and the patio area are. Publix supermarket is 10 minutes away by car. The restaurants and shops of Las Olas are 10 minutes away as well. We enjoyed our visits so much that we are already discussing when we will return. My daughter from San Francisco visited us at Hidden Gardens and she liked it so much that she has already talked with the owner about a rental for herself. It is just a wonderful place."

Vacation Rental
"The moment that I walked through the gate I knew that I was going to have a wonderful experience staying at Hidden Gardens. I was immediately surrounded by a lovely, lush garden complete with outdoor seating outside my door. The apartment was well appointed with new comfortable furniture and was clean and bright and complete with all necessary amenities. I even had my own washer/dryer. I was also very impressed and thankful to the owner, Jon, for going out of his way to assure that my stay was perfect, which it was. I give it 5 stars and highly recommend."

Perfect for Long-term Business Stay
"We stayed in Hidden Gardens apartment 2 for seven weeks while we searched for a home in Fort Lauderdale. It offers so much more than a suite hotel. During this time, we were working from home so the fact that the apartment had a separate office area with WiFi and high-speed internet made it perfect. Great neigborhood - quiet but in the middle of everything with lots of nearby amenities. The apartment is comfortably sized with high quality furnishings and a fully outfitted kitchen. The beautiful tropical garden with table and chairs was a favorite spot for evening dinner and relaxing. We can't imagine what a long stay at a hotel would have been like - here, it was just like being at home and in fact, we were reluctant to move out once we had a new home. We will strongly recommend Hidden Gardens to friends and family that come to Fort Lauderdale."

Can't go Wrong Here
"Very well appointed apartment in charming, tropical, tranquil Victoria Park. Lovely quiet neighborhood but close to all the fun and nightlife on Las Olas and close to the beach. I enjoyed sitting out on the patio which Jon, the owner, has landscaped beautifully. Everything was as it is reflected to be.Top notch. I would highly recommend to anyone and would not hesitate to stay there again. The owner is very helpful and could not be nicer."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The W-71 nuclear warhead was a US thermonuclear warhead developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and deployed on the LIM-49A Spartan missile, a component of the Safeguard Program, an anti-ballistic missile(ABM) defense system briefly deployed by the US in the 1970s. The warhead was designed to intercept a cloud of incoming enemy warheads after their carrying missile's boost phase, at altitudes comparable to low earth orbit where there is practically no air, an environment which permits the passage of essentially all of the X-rays generated by the nuclear explosion. As part of the Safeguard ABM program the W71 was to serve as the first line of defense and as a complement to the other Safeguard missile-warhead pairing, the Sprint missiles enhanced neutron radiation warhead, the W66.[1][2]
The W71 warhead had a yield of around 5 megatons of TNT (21 PJ) optimized for the production of thermal soft X-rays and minimal debris in an exoatmospheric detonation. The target would be damaged or destroyed by near-instantaneous x-ray vaporization of its surface resulting in an inward-propagating shock wave. The warhead package was roughly a cylinder, 42 inches (1.1 m) in diameter and 101 inches (2.6 m) long. The complete warhead weighed around 2,850 pounds (1,290 kg).[3] The Spartan warhead(W71) produced great amounts of x rays, and needed to minimize fission output and debris to reduce the radar blackout effect that fission products and debris produce on Anti-Ballistic Missile radar systems.[4]
Probably because of unique design features associated with x-ray production and emission from the thermonuclear component of the warhead, it was decided to conduct a full-yield test of the W71, in preparation for this full-yield test, a calibration test known as Milrow of Operation Mandrel was conducted in 1969. Despite political and pressure group opposition to both tests, and in particular the full yield W71, coming from then US Senator Mike Gravel[5][6][7] and the nascent Greenpeace,[8] a Supreme Court decision led to the test shot getting the go-ahead,[9] and a W71 prototype was successfully tested in Project CANNIKIN of Operation Grommet in the world's largest underground nuclear test, on Amchitka Island in the Aleutian Islands off Alaska.
The W71, mounted in a Spartan missile body, was lowered 6,150 feet (1,870 m) down a 90 inches (2.3 m) diameter borehole into a man-made cavern 52 feet (16 m) in diameter. A 264 feet (80 m) long instrumentation system monitored the detonation. The full yield test was conducted at 11:00am local time November 6, 1971 and resulted in a vertical ground motion of more than 15 feet (4.6 m) at a distance of 2,000 feet (610 m) from the borehole, equivalent to an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 on the Richter scale. A mile (1.6 km) wide and 40 feet (12 m) deep crater formed two days later.
Film of the test has been declassified and can be seen in the third of the Atomic Journeys documentaries Welcome To Ground Zero.
Thirty units were produced in 1974 and 1975. The weapons went into service, but were then taken right back out of service in 1975 and the warheads stored until 1992 when they were dismantled.
The design predecessors to the W71 were the explosive devices developed for Operation Plowshare-the US development of possible peaceful uses of nuclear explosives- which similarly required "clean bombs"/reduced outputs of residual radiation by reducing the "Fission fraction", or the quantity of fission products per kiloton and reducing the neutron induced radioactivity of the device casing and the soil to make peaceful applications such as earth moving environmentally practical. The design approaches to reduce residual radiation in these early efforts proved critical to the development of warhead concepts that were deployed on the Spartan missile system in the early 1970s.[10]
Using the same principle of nuclear detonation generated soft x-rays to destroy incoming missiles and warheads, the Project Excalibur x-ray lasing concept of the Strategic Defense Initiative can be seen as the Spartan's W71 conceptual descendant.[11]

Control Talk Blog
Humorous Insights into Disturbances and being an Automation Engineer
What comes at you too fast? How do people know you are a process control engineer? What is more disturbing than talk shows? Is a flea market indicative of a project behind schedule? These and other questions you have not asked will be answered.
PID Structure Tips
Before the 1990s relatively few choices in PID structure were offered. There were also various supplier specific rules as to how to set the proportional mode and integral mode tuning settings to get proportional-only and integral-only control. A different model controller may have been needed for a different structure.
PID Form Trick or Treat Tips
Not knowing the implications of the PID Form in an existing control system being migrated or the PID Form learned in a University course can cause gross errors in the tuning parameters and potential instability. The PID Form predominantly used today is not the Form in most of the controllers...
Measurement Location Tips
The question for the day is where to locate measurements. My first choice would be a Caribbean island but if the plant is not there, the sensing or sample lines and the associated transportation delays would be quite long.
Batch Optimization Recommendations Tips
Batch processes pose particular challenges for closed-loop control and optimization due to inherent process nonlinearity and non-self-regulation. At the same time there is a greater potential for increasing capacity in batch than in continuous processes. Solutions need to address the interrelationship between yield, capacity, quality, and repeatability.
Batch Optimization Perspective Tips
The highest value added products use batch operations. Batches can take days to complete and be worth millions of dollars. In many cases bad batches cannot be fixed downstream. Bad batches must be avoided. There are many techniques for making batches more repeatable and faster by better monitoring and control.
Auto Tuners and Adaptive Control Recommendations Tips
Software for auto tuning and adaptive control provide the opportunity to identify key loop dynamics besides providing a sound fundamental and automated basis for getting the best PID settings. Presented are uses of the knowledge gained and the setup of the automation system and testing/monitoring of PID performance to get...
Auto Tuners and Adaptive Control Perspective Tips
Automating any process can yield big improvements by eliminating human error and adding repeatability and predictability. The benefits are greatest when the best technology and practices are automated, the novice is protected against mistakes, and the specialist is enabled to capitalize on creativity and expertise.
Process Control Improvement Recommendations Tips
Here we look at how to make sure the measurement system is able to provide the analysis, metrics, and control needed for process control improvement. Also outlined is the opportunity sizing and assessment process, the use of statistical tools, the tracking down of the source of variability, and the finding...
Process Control Improvement Perspective Tips
The benefits from process control improvement originate from increases in process efficiency, flexibility, and capacity. Often, there is a tradeoff where an increase in flexibility or capacity is accompanied by a decrease in efficiency. Better measurements, process knowledge, online metrics, and an enhanced PID can provide a more intelligent and effective...

I coordinated community opposition to the Project Labor Agreement imposed by the college board on construction funded by Measure G.
As soon as 55.6 percent of voters barely approved Measure G and authorized the college board to borrow $124.5 million by selling bonds, union lobbyists and lawyers were scheming to cut bid competition and raise costs.
In March 2004, the college board voted 6-1 for the Project Labor Agreement.
The "pilot project" in 2005 to evaluate competitive bidding and performance under the Project Labor Agreement was a bust, but it didn't matter to the college board.
In 2007, unions threatened to sue the college unless it applied the Project Labor Agreement to additional projects not listed in the agreement. The college president unilaterally decided to surrender to the unions and gave them the rest of the work.
I saved about 150 pages of records from this fiasco. Voters are invited to examine my "Thoroughly Documented History of How Solano Community College Requires Contractors to Sign a Project Labor Agreement with Unions" at www.laborissuessolutions.com.

But this one is not compatible to Joomla 3 as falsely promised.
It produces errors as the standard known "Use of undefined constant DS" and does not correctly include the JFolder system which is, as used at the plugin, deprecated since Joomla 3.0
More code has to change for working on Joomla 3 and platform 12.1.
So finally the script does not work on Joomla 3 at this early point of development - maybe it works on Joomla2.5 (I do not want to test this any more).
For all the peops liking the very impressive Photobox gallery plugin better wait for ImageonX Module for Joomla 3, already announced at the developers site - this one is clean developed and supported.
PS. The registration form at the developers site also does not work for making a bug report... And I of course will edit this post when the developer will react on it.
Joomrebirth is just born so the site isn't full... We had or fix registration as soon as possible.
We have test module on J3, you're right, we check that and fix it.
Thanks again for your review...

Reds 'back burner' interest in Willingham
The Reds appear to have moderate interest in free agent OF Josh Willingham, who last played for the A's and hit 29 homers last season mainly at a pitcher's park like Oakland.
"I wouldn't say it's on the front burner," Reds GM Walt Jocketty said of the Willingham pursuit. "It's simmering on the back burner, if that. We are trying to find a right-handed hitter. I guess Willingham fits in that category."
The Reds have more pressing needs on their list, but a right-handed hitting left fielder is something the club would like to add.
"It's a logical place right now. We may end up going with Heisey and Alonso," Jocketty said.
*There has been no talks yet with Brandon Phillips' people. They did not arrive to town until today.
*One roster move was made — Jeremy Horst cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Louisville. Horst will be invited to Spring Training. The 40-man roster is at 39 players.

Chavez interested in Yankees return
Veteran infielder Eric Chavez has decided to play in 2012 and remains interested in a return engagement with the Yankees, among other clubs that have drawn his attention.
The Yankees enjoyed having Chavez as a reserve corner infielder, backing up both Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira in 2011.
– Bryan Hoch
Progress in Phillips talks?
Reds 2B Brandon Phillips hinted Tuesday night that he and the club are closer to a long-term contract extension.
"Just talked to my agent @Baseball_ACES and it feels good to know that we're moving in the right direction to make me a #Red4Life," Phillips posted on his Twitter feed, @datdudeBP
On October 31, the Reds exercised Phillips' $12 million option for 2012, but he has long maintained a desire to sign long term this year. He can become a free agent for the first time after next season.
A message for comment was left for Reds general manager Walt Jocketty. As recently as Nov. 17 following the General Managers Meetings, Jocketty told MLB.com that there had been progress in talks with Phillips' agents, but that the two sides were nowhere close to a deal.
UPDATE: When reached, Jocketty didn't expect that a deal was near.
"I think it's still a ways to go," Jocketty said. "We're still hopeful to get something done. We're glad he feels that way."
— Mark Sheldon
Reds talking A. Bailey?
This morning, Buster Olney of ESPN noted with a Tweet the following:
"Reds are talking about possible Andrew Bailey deal."
There is no mention of where this information is coming from.
Former Reds GM and current baseball analyst for SiriusXM and ESPN, Jim Bowden, tweeted his info from an A's source:
"A's source confirms their interest in Alonso."
Of course, that is Reds 1B/LF Yonder Alonso, who is viewed as the club's top trading chip or part of the long term future depending on who you ask. I would have no doubt that the A's (or any club) might have interest in getting Alonso.
My view: This is not a match. Giving up Alonso for Bailey is way too much. The Reds have other more pressing needs than for a closer at the moment, namely a starting pitcher. There are a lot of closers available on the open market that might be had for cheap and the door is certainly not closed on Francisco Cordero returning. Bailey is a two-time All-Star and former AL Rookie of the Year but injuries got in the way in late 2010 and early 2011.
But if you want more info on Bailey (no relation to Homer Bailey), click here.

Agent: Cespedes is ready for bigs
Once he declares residency in the Domnican Republic and becomes eligible for Major League free agency, Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes figures to be one of the most sought-out position players on the market.
Agent Adam Katz is confident that his client is ready to play in the Major Leagues this season.
"I'm not an evaluator, but I'm told by people who evaluate, he is [big league ready]," said Katz from baseball's General Managers meetings.
Even Katz admitted it's hard to know quite what the value will be for Cespedes.
"It's really touchy feely," Katz said. "He's an unusual guy. He's 26. He's major league ready. People are going to be evaluate. A value will be established. People will bid competitively, and it will be what it will be."
While Katz sees his client as a center fielder, he would be willing to play the corner positions, something that would help a team like the Boston Red Sox, who have a vacancy in right field.
The Red Sox will look at Cespedes later this week in the Dominican Republic. The Cubs are also scouting him this week. Several other teams have also expressed interest in Cespedes, who has become a bit of a sensation since the posting of a highlight video on Youtube.
"I've never seen anything quite like it since 'Spinal Tap,'" Katz said. "At the end of the day, it was compelling. As quirky as it was, it ended up being very compelling."

Twins sign SS Jamey Carroll
The Twins signed free agent shortstop Jamey Carroll to a two-year, $6.75 million contract in a deal that was formally announced on Wednesday. The contract carries a mutual option for 2014. Carroll was in Minneapolis on Tuesday to take his physical, which he passed.
This past season for the Dodgers Carroll batted .290 with a .359 on-base percentage and .347 slugging percentage in 146 games. He also stole 10 bases without getting caught.
Carroll, who can also play second base, third base and both corner outfield positions, is known for providing steady defense. It appears likely that he will be installed as Minnesota's everyday shortstop.

Cordero has drawn interest
Since the Reds declined the $12 million option on Francisco Cordero, the closer has been able to scan the free agent market. It's a market that features a lot of closers … one less now that the Phillies formally announced a four-year, $50 million deal with ex-Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon.
The closer market glut apparently hasn't curbed the suitors for Cordero.
"We've had probably seven or eight teams inquire with interest, a couple of more since Papelbon's deal," Cordero's agent, Bean Stringfellow, said on Monday. "It's all ongoing and it's still early.
"There's been strong interest, including from the Reds."
Other closers out there include Ryan Madson, Heath Bell, Joe Nathan, Francisco Rodriguez, Frank Francisco, Matt Capps, Jonathan Broxton and Brad Lidge.
Cordero is still interested in returning to the Reds, Stringfellow said. But if he doesn't, I can't see the free agent averse Reds in spending a truckload to get one of the big names on the market.

Bourn and Reds unlikely match
It appears less than likely that the Reds will make a trade with the Astros to get outfielder and leadoff hitter Michael Bourn.
According to a baseball source, Houston's asking price was too high. However it is not known which players or prospects from the Reds the club was seeking.
The Reds and general manager Walt Jocketty remain buyers on the market ahead of Sunday's 4 p.m. ET non-waivers Trade Deadline. They are also looking for players under club control beyond this season and Bourn was signed with the Astros through 2012.
– Mark Sheldon
Reds not selling
There will be a more detailed story coming … but Reds GM Walt Jocketty is not changing his Trade Deadline strategy in light of the rough week his club has had (swept four straight by the Mets to go 50-55).
"We are not selling," Jocketty said Friday afternoon.
One of the players prominent in rumors of a sell has been catcher Ramon Hernandez, especially with top catching prospect Devin Mesoraco on the cusp at Triple-A Louisville. However, Jocketty said he has not listened to offers for Hernandez.
"I haven't no, and I don't know if I would," Jocketty said. "I still think he's a guy that can help us with this year. I think his value is greater to us now than if we were to move him. You're not going to get the value in return for him that he gives our club. That's why we would hold on to him."

Indians asking about top names
Indians manager Manny Acta said recently that fans of the Tribe would be "shocked and surprised" at the effort the front office is putting forth in an effort to pull off a trade or two before Sunday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trad Deadline.
On Tuesday, Cleveland was named as an interested party for two of the top players presumed to be available.
In a piece for MLB.com, columnist Peter Gammons wrote that the Indians were willing to give up a good player and take on salary in order to acquire Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran. Unfortunately, Cleveland "did not fit" for Beltran, who has a right to veto any trade. Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated tweeted that the Indians have shown interest in Colorado starter Ubaldo Jimenez.
Prior to Tuesday's game in Cleveland, Indians general manager Chris Antonetti held court with reporters to discuss the upcoming Deadline. Antonetti indicated that acquiring offense is the Tribe's top priority, but he noted that the Indians have also had plenty of conversations about pitching help.
While Antonetti would not deem any of the club's top prospects as "untouchable," he did say that it would take a "compelling" deal to pry them away. Antonetti added that the Tribe was not likely to part with any of its top core prospects in a trade for a player who would only be around for this season's final two months.
All of that said, the Indians are definitely in buying mode.
"We want to take advantage of every opportunity that we have to get to the postseason and advance in the postseason," Antonetti said. "That said, you have to be mindful of the cost of doing that. I think we are prepared, and have talked about it, to do what we can, what's reasonable, to improve the team."

Whitehall, OH
Though native people occupied this land for centuries before the area became known as Whitehall, the city's current incarnation began in the 19th century, when a stagecoach stop named Ye Olde Whitehall Tavern was built on privately-owned land. Though the tavern eventually shut down, the name stuck, and the area was known as Whitehall well before the city was first incorporated as a village in 1947. Thanks to its proximity to Columbus, Whitehall grew rapidly with the mid-1900s suburb boom, laying the foundation for the modern city its residents know and love today.
One of the many ways to enjoy the outdoors in Whitehall is to go to the city's John Bishop Memorial Park. This public facility offers idyllic wooded space for family fun. Kids will love the park's playground, while adults and kids alike can enjoy the sports field at John Bishop Memorial Park. Park visitors rave about their experiences here, mentioning that this is a great spot to play kickball in Whitehall. You can play pickup-style games here, but you can also rent parts of the park through the city, making it a good location for outdoor gatherings.

Five matchups to watch in Sundays NFC playoff game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers (1:05 p.m., Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte).
Panthers DE Greg Hardy vs. 49ers LT Joe Staley
Although Hardy didnt record a sack in the first meeting, he gave Staley trouble with his long arms and speed off the edge. Staley, a three-time Pro Bowler, was beaten on an inside move by Hardy early in the game. If the Niners allow Colin Kaepernick to be sacked six times again, they wont win.
Panthers LB Luke Kuechly vs. 49ers TE Vernon Davis
Kuechly could be the NFLs Defensive Player of the Year, but hes struggled at times covering tight ends on seam routes. Kuechly is fast enough to stay with Davis, but has to get his head turned around and make plays on the ball. Davis, one of the games best tight ends, was knocked out of the Nov. 10 game vs. the Panthers in the second quarter with a concussion.
Panthers CB Melvin White vs. 49ers WR Michael Crabtree
The Panthers typically dont flip their corners, meaning the rookie White figures to see his share of Crabtree, sidelined with an Achilles injury the last time these teams met. Crabtree is coming off an eight-catch, 125-yard game vs. the Packers, and White usually is the guy opposing quarterbacks pick on. But his interception for a touchdown vs. Matt Ryan in Week 17 changed the complexion of the game.
49ers OLB Aldon Smith vs. Panthers LT Jordan Gross
Smith was a non-factor in the Week 10 game, playing 12 snaps without a sack or tackle in his first game back after a five-week stay at a treatment center. Smith was disruptive in the playoff win at Green Bay, lining up inside and outside and getting 1.5 sacks on Aaron Rodgers. In what could be his final game with the Panthers, Gross must be quick with his slide-step to keep Smith from blasting Cam Newton from the blind side.
49ers ILB NaVorro Bowman vs. Panthers QB Cam Newton
Bowman and Patrick Willis form one of the best linebacking tandems in the NFL, and Bowman has taken his game to another level in recent weeks. His pick-six of Ryan sealed a win in the final regular-season game at Candlestick Park, and he was responsible for three takeaways in Week 17 at Arizona. Newton has to be more precise with his passes than he was against the 49ers in November. Bowman helped limit Newton to 15 rushing yards on eight carries in the first game.

Olivia Newton-John has lowered the price of her Jupiter, Florida waterfront estate by $500,000 to $5.7 Million.
Olivia and her husband, John Easterling, purchased the home in June 2009 for $4.1 million.
Then Newton-John, best known for her role in the 1970s hit movie "Grease," listed the estate for $6.2 million.
The house may be $500,000 less, but it's still spectacular.
The star recently had more than $2 million spent on renovations.
The four-bedroom property is steps from the beach.
It also has views of the historic Jupiter Lighthouse.
The house has four bathrooms.

Fall is here and so is South Bend's annual ReLeaf program.
South Bend's collection begins on Monday.
Each city neighborhood has two scheduled pickups. A map and schedule of when leaves will be collected in your area may be found on the City's website.
But before your leaves are taken away, rake them to the curb not onto the street.
Also, avoid parking on top or in front of leaf piles which can make it difficult for collection crews.

Card is usless for me
This review is from: $10 Gift Card (Email Delivery)
Pros: none
Cons: This is only for getting discounts on services I don't use. I saw a Regal Gift Card available, but my Zeevex $10. card was not enough to buy the Regal Card and there is no way to pay the balance.
Other Thoughts: I don't see the point of buying a card to get access to buying other cards. It seems like a useless bother and ripoff.

QB Cody Kessler can help the offensive line tooNovember 25th, 2014, 3:14 pm by By MICHAEL LEV
It's no secret that USC's offensive line struggled against UCLA. If the unit doesn't play better, the Trojans are in danger of ending the regular season on a two-game losing streak.
Cody Kessler suffered the consequences last week, getting sacked a season-high six times. But the quarterback can do his part to help. His coaches would like him to get rid of the ball quicker. He's already working on it.

At 14 years old, nothing stirred me like 10,000 Maniacs--the righteousness of their songs, the style and unmistakable alto of Natalie Merchant, like a cool senior girl in funky tights and vintage clothes. Listening to their two-CD boxed set, all I can say is: What was I thinking? Songs about child abuse, puppet dictators, teen pregnancy and Jack Kerouac--it's like reading a series of smart, painfully earnest college essays, full of 50-cent words and casual references to opera. In the '80s, Merchant was a kind of patron saint to pretentious girls in English Honors, which is exactly who I was, choosing 10,000 Maniacs over Color Me Badd the way I chose theater over spirit squad. Decades later, the band's weaknesses pop out: the way the lyrics' sanctimoniousness rarely matches the adult-contemporary music, Merchant's tendency to go flat, to overreach the limitations of her (still lovely and distinctive) voice. Which isn't to say there aren't some classics here: "Verdi Cries," "Candy Everybody Wants" and "These Are Days" sent me to the CD player to press repeat. But, of course, the only compelling reason to buy the collection is the second disc, "The Obscure and Unknown Recordings," which offers precious little. Early demos are almost unlistenable, and covers of Lulu's "To Sir With Love" and Nico's "These Days" are merely pleasant curiosities. Though pretty, the version of Tom Waits' "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love With You" is almost too much--it's hard to believe sweet Natalie when she coos, "The night does funny things inside a man/These old tomcat feelings you don't understand." The strongest cut is "Let the Mystery Be," a duet with David Byrne from the band's 1993 MTV Unplugged disc, a simple song that provides the perfect counterpoint to Merchant's overwrought hippie-girl meanderings. Listening to these two CDs, it's slightly embarrassing to remember when Merchant represented the perfect PETA cool--or when I actually believed she was dating Michael Stipe (I love the '80s!)--but there is something admirable about her relentlessness, especially in a decade when protest music was as uncool as the thrift-store peasant dresses she wore.

A 40-year-old man has been charged with burglary causing injury in a home-invasion robbery last week in the West Central Neighborhood.
According to court documents, Lewis J. Jones, who has eight additional aliases, kicked in the door to a duplex in the 1200 block of Swinney Avenue.
When he got inside, he pointed a gun at a woman and demanded to know where Lenny Underwood was.
When Underwood came out of the back room, Jones demanded drugs and cash. He took Underwood's rent money and told the woman to tie him up, court documents said.
He then demanded to know where the gun was. Underwood said it was behind a fish tank.
Also behind a fish tank was a boy, whom Jones then ordered to the floor and also had him tied up. Jones told them all not to get up or look up or he would kill them. He then fled the apartment, according to court documents.
During the robbery, Underwood was hit on the back of the head with Jones' pistol, according to court documents.
Jones was arrested almost immediately by officers responding, according to court documents.
Jones is charged with burglary, two counts of robbery, three counts of criminal confinement, unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, carrying a handgun without a license and battery.
