This invention relates generally to electrical connectors and, more specifically, to an electrical connector having reduced crosstalk interference.
Efforts have recently been made to utilize conventional telephone RJ45 jack and plug connectors for data transmission having higher transmission frequencies than is required in voice transmission. The performance criteria for such jack and plug connectors is governed by the EIA/TIA standard TSB-40 (connecting hardware specification), Category 5. One aspect of the Category 5 level in the standard is a lower level of crosstalk coupling between adjacent contacts in the electrical connectors. By way of example, a standard OMNI RJ45 jack connector in commercial use by the assignee of the subject application meets Category 3 of the crosstalk requirements per the TSB-40 performance requirements.
It is known that crosstalk reduction or cancellation may be achieved in an electrical connector by adding capacitance between certain pairs of conductors or contacts within a standard OMNI jack. This is described, in particular in U.S. patent application, Ser. No. 08/011,020, entitled, "Apparatus and Method for Cross-Talk Reduction," filed on Jan. 29, 1993, and assigned to the same assignee as the subject, application now abandoned. As described and shown in such application, the particular technique for increasing the capacitance between selected connector contacts is to add discrete capacitors thereto. The application further recognizes that such increased capacitance may be obtained from distributed and/or stray capacitance which may be derived from appropriate disposition of traces on a printed circuit board which is used to connect selected pairs of contacts in the connectors described therein.
It is therefore desirable to not only achieve an electrical connector having the Category 5 crosstalk requirements, but also to decrease the cost of such connectors and improve the manufacturability thereof. It is further desirable to continue to utilize standard devices as much as possible, such as the use of a standard OMNI plug if a modified jack in connection therewith satisfactorily meets the Category 5 performance level.
It is accordingly an object of the subject invention to provide an electrical connector which achieves reduced crosstalk coupling between selected pairs of electrical contacts.
In accordance with a preferred form of the invention, an electrical connector comprises an insulative housing, a plurality of electrical contacts being supported on the housing. The contacts are disposed in a side-by-side arrangement with a spacing between each pair of contacts. A dielectric substrate overlies the contacts, a conductive trace being supported by the dielectric substrate. The conductive trace is disposed to be in spatial registry with one of the contacts in the connector. The conductive trace is of configuration to define with the dielectric constant and permeability of the dielectric substrate a predetermined mutual inductance and capacitance. A conductive element is provided which connects the conductive trace to another one of the contacts in the electrical connector.

FIGS. 8a and 8b are schematic illustrations of contacts of the improved OMNI jack of the subject invention shown in connection with a standard OMNI plug.
Turning now to FIG. 1, there is schematically shown one form of the invention for use in increasing the capacitance in a multi-contact electrical connector. Schematically, in the illustration shown, the electrical connector 10 comprises eight contacts 12 arranged in side-by-side disposition. Each of the contacts in the preferred configuration has a generally rectangular cross-section and a substantially flat upper surface, the upper surfaces of each of the contacts 12 generally lying in a common plane. The contacts 12 are configured to represent a standard OMNI RJ45 jack connector.
Overlying the contacts 12 is a printed circuit board 14 comprising a dielectric substrate 16, such as MICA. Traces 18 of conductive material, such as copper, are supported on the substrate 16 in spatial registry with selected connector contacts 12, such as contact No. 1, No. 4 and No. 8, as shown. The disposition of the traces 18 over the contacts 12 with dielectric material and its permeability therebetween creates a capacitive relationship between the conductive traces and the contacts that may be considered parallel plates, and effects the inductance and conductance as well. In principle, capacitance between parallel plates is basically a function of (1) the area A of the plates, (2) the distance D between the plates, and (3) the dielectric constant K of the dielectric material between the plates. Such capacitance, in picofareds (pF), may be calculated using the equation:
The conductive traces 18 may be connected to another connector contact 12 to increase the capacitance between contact pairs. For example, a connecting element, such as a wire 20, may be used to connect the conductive trace 18 over contact 8 to contact 6 and another wire 22 may be used to connect the conductive trace 18 over contact 4 to contact 6. Alternatively, a portion 18a may be formed from the conductive-trace 18, such connecting trace 18a being connected, for example, to contact 3. So connected, the capacitance 24 may be increased between pair 1-3, the capacitance 26 may be increased between pair 4-6 and the capacitance 28 may be increased between pair 6-8. In one example, the MICA substrate may be selected to be approximately 0.002 inch thick and the copper conductive traces selected to be 0.002 inch thick.
Referring now to FIGS. 2-4, it can be seen how the principles of the invention described with reference to FIG. 1 are implemented to provide crosstalk reduction in practice. In these Figures, an electrical connector of the type known as an OMNI RJ45 jack connector, modified in accordance with the aspects of the subject invention, is shown. In the embodiment shown there are eight contacts defining four pairs of contacts in accordance with industry usage.
The connector 30 comprises an insulative housing 32 supporting a plurality of electrical contacts 34 thereon in side-by-side arrangement. Each contact 34 includes a forward terminal portion 34a formed in cantilevered fashion to make electrical connection to complementary contacts in an OMNI plug connector (not shown). Each contact 34 further includes a rearward terminal, preferably in the form of an insulation displacement contact (IDC) for electrical connection with conductors of insulated wire. Between each forward terminal 34a and rearward terminal 34b, each contact includes a transition portion 34c having a generally rectangular cross-section and having a substantially flat surface area between the forward and rearward terminals. The flat transition portions, which are formed to make a pitch transition between the pitch of the IDC rearward terminals 34b and the cantilevered forward terminals 34a are supported on the connector housing 32 in laterally spaced disposition and such that the flat surfaces of the transition portions 34c lie substantially in a common plane.
In accordance with the invention, the signal path of two of the contacts in the connector 30 are re-routed for purposes as will be described hereinbelow to assist in the crosstalk reduction features of the connector. Thus, at the rear portion of the connector, the signal path of contact 3 is placed between contacts 5 and 7, while the signal path 6 is placed between contacts 2 and 4, as illustrated in Figure 2. It can be seen in FIG. 2 that the forward terminal portions 34a are maintained in the proper sequential order of contacts from 1-8.
To accomplish the signal path re-routing, contacts 3 and 6 are severed, defining for contact 3 a forward portion 34d and a discontinuous rearward portion 34e. Similarly, for contact 6, a forward portion 34f is defined discontinuous from a rearward portion 34g.
A printed circuit board (PCB) 36 comprising insulated circuitry is attached to the electrical connector 30, preferably at the bottom thereof. The PCB 36 includes a dielectric substrate 38 supporting thereon a pair of circuit elements 40 and 42. Circuit element 40 includes a conductive trace 40a, a connecting trace 40b and a rerouting trace 40c. Conductive trace 40a lies in spatial registry over contact 7 and forms a capacitive relationship therewith. Connecting trace 40b extends transversely from conductive trace 40a to re-routing trace 40c and bridges the rearward portion 34g of severed contact 6 where it is suitably connected therewith. Re-routing portion 40c has an extent lying in spatial registry with contact 5 over a given length and bridges over contact 4 to contact 3 where it is connected to the forward portion 34d thereof.
Circuit element 42 comprises a conductive trace 42a, a connecting trace 42b and a re-routing trace 42c. Conductive trace 42a lies in spatial registry with contact 2 and defines a capacitive relationship therewith. Connecting trace 42b extends from conductive trace 42a to re-routing trace 42c, transversely therewith, and bridges the rearward portion 34e of contact 3 to which it is connected. Rerouting trace 42c includes an extent lying for a given length in spatial registry with contact 4 and is configured to bridge contact 5 and be connected to the forward portion 34f of contact 6. Circuit elements 40 and 42 thereby re-route the signal paths of contacts 3 and 6 and, as will be indicated hereinbelow, add capacitance to such re-routed signal paths.
Turning now to FIG. 5, the details of the printed circuit board 36 are more fully described. In the arrangement shown, circuit elements 40 and 42 are configured in a manner such that there are no cross-over points between the conductive traces defining each circuit element. As such, the PCB 36 is formed of a pair of layers of dielectric films 44 sandwiching therebetween the circuit elements 40 and 42. In the preferred construction, each conductive film is made of a polyimide material 0.001 inch thick, such material being commercially available under the tradename KAPTON. The circuit elements are preferably defined by conductive traces of copper each having a thickness of approximately 0.004 inch. The circuit width of the connecting traces 40b and 42b as well as the re-routing portions 40c and 42c all typically have a dimension of about 0.018 inches. The connecting traces 40b and 42b at the position where such connecting traces are connected to the respective contacts 6 and 3, each have an enlarged welding pad 40d and 42d. Similarly, at the terminus of each of the re-routing traces 40c and 42c where such traces are respectively connected to the contacts 6 an 3, there are similarly formed enlarged welding pads 40e and 42e. A portion of the dielectric film 44 in alignment with each of the welding pads 40d, 40e and 42d, 42e is removed at both the top and bottom surfaces of the PCB 36 in order to expose such welding pads to allow welding thereof to the respective severed portions of contacts 3 and 6.
Referring still to FIG. 5, conductive traces 40a and 42a are configured to have a length and width to provide with the contacts 7 and 2, respectively, a predetermined capacitance. For example, each conductive trace 40a and 42a may be formed to have a width 46 approximately 0.050 inch and a length of approximately 0.100 inch will provide a capacitance on the order of about 2pF between contact 7 and trace 40. It is understood, however, that other dimensions, depending upon the desired capacitance, may be chosen.
Through holes 50 and 52 which extend completely through the dielectric film 44 are disposed in a manner such that when the PCB is attached to the connector 30, such holes 50, 52 lie in alignment with the severed portions of contacts 6 and 3.
Referring now to FIG. 6 and 7, an alternate construction of the printed circuit board 36' is described. In this arrangement, the circuit elements 40' and 42' are configured in a manner such that there is a mutual overlapping of portions of the conductive traces. In order to construct such a printed circuit board 36' circuit element 40' is formed on a first dielectric film 44' while the other circuit element 42' is formed on a second dielectric film 44'. Prior to sandwiching the circuit elements 40' and 42' together to form the assembled PCB 36', a middle layer 54 of suitable insulation, such as a KAPTON film on the order of 0.001 inch thick must be inserted to insulate the respective circuit elements. Thus, the construction of a PCB 36' wherein the circuit pattern is arranged to mutually cross-over, is somewhat thicker and slightly more expensive to manufacture than the PCB 36 of FIG. 5, wherein both circuit elements 40 and 42 may be formed on one film which may then be covered with a second film.
Referring now to FIG. 8, there is a schematic representation of the contacts of the modified OMNI jack as constructed herein and an OMNI plug which is of standard conventional construction. The OMNI jack and OMNI plug typically make a relatively long and close parallel multi-conductor circuit. Particularly, pair 1 (contacts 4 and 5) and pair 3 (contacts 3 and 6) typically define the worst condition for crosstalk problems.
To reduce the crosstalk, the area "a" defined by the wide conductor area of the OMNI jack is modified in a manner as described herein by the addition of a PCB 36 having the insulative circuitry thereon. The two circuit elements as indicated hereinabove are suitably welded to the severed contacts 3 and 6. The conductive trace 40a of the first circuit element 40 has a capacitive relationship to contact 7. Similarly, the conductive trace 42a of the second circuit element 42 has a capacitive relationship to conductor 2. Welding of the circuit elements 40 and 42 to the severed contacts 3 and 6, not only re-routes the signal paths thereof, but adds to such signal paths, the capacitances produced by the conductive traces 40a and 42a.
Further, the circuit "b" of the OMNI plug is much longer than the circuit "a" of the OMNI jack and the electromagnetic force (EMF) is thereby larger. To counter this effect, the signal paths in area "a", as described hereinabove of contacts 3 and 6, were re-routed by the circuit elements 40 and 42 on PCB 36 Since in area "a", contacts 3 and 5 are quite close, and contacts 4 and 6 are similarly quite close, the induced EMF per unit length is much higher than the counterpart EMF in area "b". Thus, in the shorter paths in area "a" it is believed that a sufficient amount of induced EMF is generated to counter the induced EMF of area "b". In current commercial OMNI connectors without the subject improvement therein, the crosstalk between pair 1 and pair 3 typically measure between 26.4dB to 26.7dB at 100 MNz. Pair 1 is defined by contacts 4 and 5 while pair 3 is defined by contacts 3 and 6. Crosstalk between pair 1 and pair 3 is normally very high and the dominant factor is mutual inductance. By providing the two circuit elements 40 and 42, the mutual inductance is balanced and crosstalk reduction is achieved between pair 1 and pair 3. An OMNI connector modified in accordance with the re-routed signal paths and selected capacitance was found to have a measured crosstalk in one direction of approximately 43.0dB and 42.2dB in the reverse direction, at 100 MHz. Thus, while and OMNI jack connector may be modified as set forth herein to provide desired crosstalk reduction, a standard, non-modified OMNI plug connector may be used for connection therewith.
Having described herein the preferred embodiments of the subject invention, it should be appreciated that variations may be made thereof without departing from the contemplated scope of the invention. Accordingly, the preferred embodiments described herein are intended to be illustrative rather than limiting. The true scope of the invention is set forth in the claims appended hereto.

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. – Scott Wymbs felt he had unfinished business going into the Beacon Wrestling Tournament recently.
The Horace Greeley senior wanted a return trip the 195-pound final. Once Wymbs got there, he finished it off with a 3-1 victory in overtime over Kingston's Deon Edmond.
Wymbs equaled three-time Section 1 champion Greg Einfrank for the most wins in program history with 116. Wymbs also was selected the tournament's most outstanding wrestler.
"It definitely felt good to redeem myself after losing in the final last year," Wymbs said. "It also felt good to tie the Greeley all-time record."
Wymbs received byes in the first two rounds Friday, enabling him to relax and prepare for Saturday.
"It didn't throw me off," said Wymbs of not wrestling on the first day. "I watched my teammates, got some drilling in and then I was able to get home and eat dinner."
Wymbs breezed through his quarterfinal and semifinal matches before meeting Edmond, a 2012 Section 9 Division I champion. The score was even at 1-1 at the end of regulation, forcing overtime.
"I knew someone had to shoot so I decided to push the pace because I could see he was pretty tired," Wymbs said. "I committed to the shot, a double leg. I was able to get in pretty deep and finish it off."

A dark chapter in the history of the Watergate scandal surrounding former President Richard M. Nixon might soon be uncovered.
The National Archives announced today it will use forensic documentation technology to try and uncover the contents of two pages of handwritten notes taken by Nixon's chief of staff, H.R. "Bob" Haldeman.
The notes were taken June 20, 1972, during a conversation between the president and Haldeman, three days after the infamous 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee's offices in the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C. The discussion between Nixon and his chief of staff was captured by the president's secret White House recording system, except for an 18 1/2-minute gap where the tape was later erased.
Efforts to electronically salvage the lost audio from the actual tape have not worked in the past, leaving historians to rely on Haldeman's normally detailed handwritten notes for clues about what he and Nixon talked about. But many believe that a large chunk of Haldeman's notes, the only existing account of the meeting, taken during that 18 1/2 minutes are missing. The two remaining pages of notes -- written by Haldeman on yellow, lined pads -- are stored at the National Archives facility in College Park, Md., and are the subject of much scrutiny.
Now, technology could help shed light on those missing pages, and what happened in those undocumented minutes between Nixon and Haldeman.
"Historians and scholars have long speculated on the subject of that meeting," the National Archives said in a statement. "The team will attempt to determine whether there is any evidence that additional notes were taken at the meeting that are no longer part of the original file."
A spokesperson contacted by ABC News did not return calls seeking comment.
Amateur historian Phil Mellinger, who spent five years constructing an elaborate Watergate timeline and who first approached the National Archives with the idea to use technology to look for clues in Haldeman's notes, is thrilled the agency will be conducting the tests.
"I'm ecstatic about it," Mellinger told ABC News. "They seem to be as excited about it as I am. I just look forward to getting the results."
Mellinger, whose intelligence career has taken him from the Air Force and National Security Agency to the private sector, is the chief executive officer at Turiss LLC, a Virginia-based company that develops software and strategies to fight cyber and financial fraud.
He is excited that the Archives will be using a technology called hyperspectral imaging, a technique that aims different spectral frequencies at documents and then uses computer analysis to check for differences imperceptible to the naked eye. Mellinger, who has examined the documents, says there are faint impressions on the pages, made by a ballpoint pen writing on the pages above them.
"It will maybe be able to recover 10 to 12 pages of notes as opposed to just three or four. It's much more precise and more finely tuned for finding any of the differences," Mellinger said.
Despite the passage of time and the deaths of some key Watergate players, Mellinger says it's important to reexamine the case.

I have a particular fondness for the passion of Country music, especially when joined with the texture and complexity of jazz. Artists such as Norah Jones or Chet Atkins come to mind. But probably my greatest thrill as a performer is to be part of an effort to engage the hearts and minds of listeners, and often at opposite ends of the age spectrum. The effectiveness of music as a therapeutic tool cannot be exaggerated.
Music can be one of the most powerful forces to lift a person's spirits, and I aspire to be a part of that. I have been singing and playing various instruments since the late 1950s, and am Past President of the prestigious Saint Lambert Choral Society on the South Shore of Montréal. Long retired from my day job at Long and McQuade, I play gigs at retirement homes, restaurants, community events and dances, as well as providing music lessons to aspiring musicians in Victoria, B.C. I am fluent in French, and can sing in German, Italian, Spanish and a little Portuguese.
My main instruments are guitar and bass, either electric or standup. When performing solo, I work with a La Patrie electric nylon-string instrument, with a Poly-Octave Generator to provide low bass, and foot-operated percussion. With bands such as The "BVD's", I usually am on bass, and am substitute bassist/guitarist for "The Gypsy Rovers" of Victoria.

From the mountains to the north to the beaches of the south, more mountain bikes are available for rent in Thailand than ever before. While along the beach towns of southern Thailand a mountain bike is an environmentally friendly way to explore different beaches and get some exercise (many islands have substantial hills), Northern Thailand is the epicenter of the kingdom's mountain biking scene.
Particularly between the months of November and February, when the weather is cool and the rains infrequent, single and multi-day mountain biking excursions explore the lush forests of northern Thailand. A mountain biking adventure is an amazing way to get up close to Thailand's exotic natural environment, and multi-day adventures can combine biking with bamboo rafting and even elephant riding. Most rewarding perhaps is visiting Thailand's unique hill tribe villages and spotting some of Thailand's exotic animals, including birds and primates.
A variety of tour operators provide various levels of activity, from challenging ascents and extreme downhill riding, to more leisurely pedaling across cross-country terrain. Ask about trail conditions and difficulty, inspect the quality of bikes prior to setting out, and inquire about combining biking with other activities in order to select the best adventure for your ability and desires; there is likely to be a tour operator that meets all your needs and exceeds your expectations!

Wil Wheaton Announces New TV Show 167
from the good-luck-CleverNickName dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
An anonymous reader writes
We know it's you, Wil.
Hwil Hwheaton seems like a nice guy.
Until it returns to actually showing science fiction shows, as opposed to paranormal, fantasy, horror and talk shows...
All of the above!
Wheaton's Star Trek character takes on the role of Rod Serling/The Crypt Keeper and presents ghostly stories from alien races across the galaxy.
Episode 1 - The Kowardly Klingon. A Klingon who hides from battle is tormented by the ghosts of those who died. Or is it just his conscience?
Coming soon to Syfy prime time: bad paranormal wrestling! Trash talk from beyond the grave! Face-ghost turns!
Wait. All nerds hate Wil Wheaton? Is it a contractual obligation to hate him? I happen to like the guy. Does this mean I need to hand in my nerd card now? I *knew* I should have read the fine print when I signed the Standard Nerd Contract!
Your good nature will bring you unbounded happiness.

yesterday I whitewashed.....................
the old rustic grayed wood in the garden. I didn't want pure white more a beachy/whitewashed look. This was the bench I made (posted in gate, pallet and posts) as well as a planter box on legs. I'm pleased with their new look
after whitewashing
They look WONDERFUL white-washed! I love how they turned out, and the whole setting for that matter. Those gates really enhance everything!
I have some stuff I want to white-wash, but I'm afraid of messing it up where it looks too painted. What ratio did you do the paint and water on yours?
hugs, Karen
I watered the white latex outdoor paint down 1/2 paint 1/2 water, and I didn't put much on the wood until I knew how it would look. I did go over some for a second coat, that old wood really absorbed the paint.
Thanks for the nice comments.

RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2015
This weekend sees the return of the Big Garden Birdwatch, the annual event organised by the Royal Society of Protection to Birds (RSPB) to survey our local wildlife. Now in it's 36th year this is a countrywide initiative in which half a million people are expected to take part, providing an invaluable picture of how our garden birds are doing and highlighting any problems or trends in population and behaviour.
It's easy to become involved, all you need to do is register on their website, spend an hour in your garden, allotment or local park making a note of what you see and then give your feedback.
You can of course do this on your own but it's also a great activity and to do as a family and with this in mind the RSPB have prepared a special pack that can be downloaded from their website once you have registered. It gives full details of what do including details of how to make some simple bird feeders and fat balls to encourage more birds to visit, pictures to help identification and a sheet to record what you see. You can even find out how to build a 'hide' if you're really up for some fun.
The event is on the 24th and 25th January and you can register and download your pack here.
You will also receive a £5 discount to use in the RSPB shop.
Follow the event on Twitter here the hashtag is #Birdwatch and Facebook here.

What I always find amazing is the self deprecation of Sfardim themselves. The Sfardi ultraorthodox dress like they come from Poland , AND fight to get their children into Ashkenazi Yeshivot...and now the Sfardi establishment has produced an advertisement with some message about conversion...and in doing so have used a Sfardi groom , in a very bad suit, who fits the racist stereotype that is used against sfardim. Time to get some self esteem and grow up ,guys.

We recently stayed one night in a one-bedroom unit.
The property manager who checked us in was superb. She offered several recommendations to the area and brought us up to speed on shops that had closed (i.e. the old Misty Mountain Gourmet Shoppe). We took her advice and ate at Catching Smoke BBQ which, while it may be the "best" BBQ in Ruidoso, proved lacking compared to other BBQ we've had.
We were impressed with the small bag of goodies hanging on our door that included some candy, crackers, popcorn and bottles of water. That was a nice touch.
The facility itself was okay. This is definitely not luxury cabin rentals. If one is prepared for more of an economy cabin rental then the rates compared to what one gets is acceptable. We noticed that there was no soap in the bathroom. We remedied this by taking the dish soap from the kitchen to the bathroom.
If staying here, bring earplugs as the noise of the heater cutting on/off throughout the night is very loud.
Parking was not an issue for us as sizable space is provided with each of the units close to the main building.

Is this the winter of our content?
Relevant offers
As the nation marked the shortest day of the year yesterday, some towns and cities have experienced their warmest start to winter on record.
Niwa forecaster Christopher Brandolino said that 20 days into winter, Palmerston North and Whanganui residents had enjoyed their warmest average temperatures for June since records began, in 1928 and 1937 respectively.
Masterton was also going through one of the mildest starts to winter on record, Brandolino said, as was Whangarei.
The main centres were also having a better-than-average winter so far, with the average Auckland temperature, measured at Whenuapai, coming in as the third-warmest since records began in 1945.
Although this month's storm cut power to some Aucklanders for about a week and uprooted trees, it also brought in some warm air, Brandolino said. "It was windy and wet but it wasn't a cold rain."
Wellington's average temperature so far this month was 2.1 degrees above normal, at 11.8 degrees. Christchurch's was 1.2 degrees above the normal average for June at 8.1 degrees.
Brandolino said the lack of southerly winds caused the unseasonal warmth.
The top half of the country had had a wetter than normal start to winter but conditions elsewhere were quite dry.
Looking ahead, the warmer-than-average temperatures were likely to continue, Brandolino said.
However, the east coast of the North Island and the top of the South Island should expect above-average rainfall for the rest of the winter as warm winds come in from the east. Rainfall should be about average for the rest of the country.
Snowfall predictions were difficult but with a warmer winter ahead, ski resorts might have to make their own snow unless more frequent and intense southerlies arrived, Brandolino said.

Peyton Manning, QB, Broncos
|NFL Team
|18 years
2014 Outlook: Stud (low risk)Last updated on Jul-15-2014 by Rusty Reeves
Encore? Sure, why not! Manning enjoyed the best season in NFL history, throwing for 5,477 yards and 55 touchdowns. If you played in a league where QBs earn four points per touchdown pass, he would have scored about 30 fantasy points per game. If you were lucky enough to get six points per TD, well, that's just not fair. Many people rode Manning to fantasy glory last season and will be hoping to do the same this year. He's lost two of his major weapons from last year -- WR Eric Decker (Jets) and RB Knowshon Moreno (Dolphins) -- but the team added WR Emmanuel Sanders via free agency and WR Cody Latimer via the draft. RB Montee Ball should take a step forward and be everything Moreno was (and maybe more). Most importantly, he'll still have studs WR Demaryius Thomas and TE Julius Thomas, along with the pesky veteran slot man WR Wes Welker back at his disposal. Expecting a repeat of 2013 is probably irrational; however, expecting 5,000 yards and "only" 45 touchdowns isn't out of the question, which is why we have Manning ranked just ahead of Brees and Rodgers for 2014.
Editor's note: He can't throw a fastball anymore, yet he can really place his passes. The eldest Manning is fantasy royalty and it's hard to imagine anybody having the ceiling he does. Drew Brees' touchdown totals have decreased in each of the last two years. Aaron Rodgers (even though he missed half the season) wasn't anywhere close to staying on pace to beat his career-best 45 TDs. Manning might be in his own tier.

What size sink for a 36" base?
I'd like the largest possible sink in my 36" base. The Kraus KHU100-32 is the biggest undermount I can find in my price range. It's 32" inches across. Do you think it will fit? Or should I go with a 30"?
We put in a 30". We did ask our KD whether it would be possible to install a 33" (next size up), and he told us it was possible (the cabinet would have needed to be "notched out" or modified, but not a really big deal). We opted to stick with the 30" as planned, but we got the impression that either size would have been okay.
It is definitely tight under there. We got the sink, a 1 hp insinkerator and an instant hot water tank. There is no room for anything else. Even if you go with a sink that leaves more room, I suggest that you run your plan by your plumber to make sure that everything will fit.

Some interesting exhibits but not the quality I expected. It's only 3 dollars and that's about what it's worth.
The Museum of contemporary art and design was very interesting and special one. Located in what used to be San Jose's airport terminal, it is situated on the edge of one of the city's nicest parks.
It has all kind of exhibits, including a beautiful sculpture garden. Admittance was free when we visited (not sure about other times).
Enjoyed it...

THis is good museum but if you dont go you dont miss anything. The exhibitions are small and sometimes it does not have enough information.
Great gallery, with an interesting selection of works. If you pick the right day of the week, it's free too!
This small museum is absolutely beautiful. They have small exhibits which are a good introduction to art for small children. There are also some lovely works by Jimenez Deredia in the back. But what is most outstanding is the building itself, which recently had a makeover and a new coat of paint. Plus, it´s free to enter...win-win situation!
This museum is not large but it is an interesting eclectic collection. Entrance fee for visitors was inexpensive at $3.00 USD. My husband loved the curved shopping cart exhibit taking multiple pictures with our heads poking over the top. I found I did connect with several of the exhibits which I found highly creative and entertaining. Especially the video of...
While not large, the museum hosted a variety of art styles and exhibits from local artists. I have to admit that I really connected with most of the displays and appreciated the humor, history and sentiments the artists were presenting.
like I mentioned on my review in Spanish the visit to this museum should be combined with the regular tour of Green Path that also includes a visit to alocal jewelry workshop and finish at a local restaurant with something that can be considered as a gastronomic experience.

This museum is very interesting and worth the effort. The building and grounds are very pretty and the staff extremely friendly and helpful.

Blog: George Clooney: Tequila or no Tequila?
James Wilmore | 16 January 2013
Celebrities and drinks brands. They're not always a happy marriage as Diageo and Pharrell Williams have illustrated this week.
But actor, and general Hollywood dude, George Clooney must be hoping for better luck with the launch this month of his own Tequila, Casamigos. And to boost interest in the drink, made from 100% Blue Weber agave, old George has come up with his own advert.
The question we're asking ourselves here at just-drinks is: had Mr Clooney been sampling his own product when he dreamt up the idea?

Celebrations; African American and Asian festivals this weekend.
Now that the sun has finally deigned to show its face, it's time to get outside and party!!
What? You just haven't had time to whip up a plate of deviled eggs and you're fresh out of crepe paper bunting?? Don't worry. You can just relaaaaaxxxxx and leave all the party details to a planning committee made up of other people. Yes, organizers have been hard at work - so you won't have to be - planning two dynamic annual ethnic festivals that attract more exhibitors, entertainers and just plain fun-seeking folk each year. Both are happening this weekend.
First up is the 12th annual African American Festival from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. tomorrow at Institute Park. You can keep the good times rolling Sunday with the pageantry-and-performance-rich Asian Festival from noon to 6 p.m. at the Italian-American Cultural Center, 28 Mulberry St. Admission to both festivals is free.
The African festival, presented by the Henry Lee Willis Center, the city's Black Unity group and others, has added a couple of new components this year: a community service award named after the late social activist and former Worcester School Committee woman Elizabeth L. "Betty" Price that will be presented to her family and six community members, and a Juneteenth celebration.
A Junewhaaaat? Festival organizers are glad you asked. Part of the festival will be dedicated to teaching us about a celebration that is growing in importance. According to Carlton Watson, Willis Center executive director, Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery. A bit of history from Willis Center researchers: It was on June 19, 1865, that Union soldiers, led by Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas, with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. This was two and a half years after Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which had become official Jan. 1, 1863. But the proclamation had little impact on the Texans because of the minimal number of Union troops available to enforce the new executive order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger's regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance.
Later attempts to explain this two-and-a-half-year delay in the receipt of this important news have yielded several versions that have been handed down through the years. Often told is the story of a messenger who was murdered on his way to Texas with the news of freedom. Another is that the news was deliberately withheld by the enslavers to maintain the labor force on the plantations. And still another is that federal troops actually waited for the slave owners to reap the benefits of one last cotton harvest before going to Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. For whatever the reason, conditions in Texas remained status quo longer than was required by law.
Education is only part of the festival. The other part is fun, with music, dancing, drumming, food, games, storytelling and other activities. The event will feature local performers. "The festival focuses on the local community and the theme is unity and coming together," Watson said.
The unity theme also will be in evidence at the 6th annual Asian Festival Sunday. "When we started we just had four countries represented and now we have 10," said Tu Ha Le, executive director of the Southeast Asian Coalition of Central Massachusetts, which presents the festival. Ethnic groups participating are Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, Thai, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Pilipino, Korean and Bhutanese.
"It takes a lot of work and a lot of effort to try to build relationships, to build trust so we can get 10 different ethnic groups at the same table to work together," Le said. "It's something we feel proud of."
Then there is the challenge of organizing 300 performers, including several large youth groups. But, since passing Asian culture on to the next generation is one of the festival's main goals, organizers are happy to help the young ones do their dancing and singing thing.
The festival also will be a passport to learning for kids, whatever their cultural heritage. At the door, parents will be handed a brochure describing the offerings at each group's exhibition table. Kids will receive a passport with pages for each of the 10 represented countries' names. As they visit the tables, their passports will be stamped. The stamp design is a map of each country.
In between entertainment acts, you can nosh on food from several countries.
"It's open to everyone because we want to share with everyone in our city the diversity of our Asian culture," Le said. "Sometimes people think `Asian' is just one ethnic group, but we have a lot of different ethnic groups, and we all get together for the festival. We are proud to do it every year, to promote our culture, so that our children learn about it and to share that great diversity with our city."

This might be good if you:
*) like soft matte finish & medium coverage
*) have normal, combination, slightly dry or slightly oily
*) can find your shade match
I am currently living in a country where it's hot, humid and sunny all year round. Sadly I have to report that Coverall just doesn't perform on my super oily and tend-to-flake skin. It gets patchy and streaky within 4-5 hours (this complain is the bane of my life!) then it will do the slow fade out onto oblivion. For sure it is nowhere near the power of ELDW/L. To be fair it may perform better in cooler surrounding and it's soooo lovely and give my face a soft focus before my oils destroy everything.
I can understand other girls loving it though, but it's not HG for me.
Fair is around NC15-20. I find the best way to use this is to tap using a wet sponge for the 1st layer, followed by fingers for the 2nd layer on necessary areas, again by tapping. The combination of Coverall and a dry foundation brush (of whatever kind) only exacerbate my flakiness.

edit 2: wow this destroys my skin every time i (with trepidation) attempt to try it out again. down a million stars. my skin is covered in tiny bumps and big pimples, from using it the past couple of days, and my normally good skin is my pride :(
edit: down a star. I might be sensitive to an ingredient as I'm noticing bumps and under-the-skin pimples.. Paula's Choice says: "This contains a small amount of the preservative methylisothiazolinone, which is known to be sensitizing and generally is not recommended for use in leave-on products." Therefore not for everyday after all! :(
I promise you that this is an amazing excellent med (can be built to almost full) coverage foundation. As long as you can find a colour match (if not, i've heard great things about Maybelline Dream liquid mousse). Medium is spot on for me. It comes out smooth. It glides on and covers well but NOT geisha/clown/extravagantly cakey or full coverage. With a concealer used sparingly--and the ACCOMPANYING pressed powder from the same line--you get the most lovely smooth realistically perfect, amazing skin. With the powder pressed and smoothed on top with a sponge, then buffed with Ecotools kabuki brush--it lasts hours!! Not bad. Perfect for everyday wear when you don't want to waste the stuff that costs 30 dollars or more (I've even used a 100 and smthing dollar base--this one is BETTER), but look like you have! i tried it on top of another foundation too just to see if it would get cakey/gross but it didn't. Stock up if you like it! They better not take this off the shelves!!!

I purchased this based on reviews here. I like the tube for convenience however as others mentioned you do have to be careful not to squirt too much out. This goes on a little sticky and then dries but retains a sheen. The feeling on my face was uncomfortable and the colors run dark. I can't use anything with sheen as it accentuated pores. Wanted to like this since it is cheap and readily available but not for me.

This foundation is my new favorite and total HG.
My skin is pretty normal. Even tone, minus a bit of redness on my cheeks and the stubborn darkness around the eyes, with a tendency to get oily in the T-zone.
This foundation is smooth and very creamy and glides on effortlessly. It's a light-medium coverage, but very buildable. It leaves a dewy finish, so if that's not your thing, you may want to use a powder over it. I still add some concealer around my eyes for extra coverage. I powder or blot my nose maybe twice during the entire day. That's about 10-12 hours of pretty flawless coverage.
My only gripe, however, is the underwhelming shade selection. My skin tone is fair-medium and the lightest shade is a pretty perfect match. There's no question that WnW should provide more shades. But if you're lucky enough that one of the limited shade matches your skin tone, this is definitely one to try.
Whenever I wear this foundation, I get many compliments on my SKIN, not my makeup, and it photographs flawlessly. For only a few dollars, this is a fantastic bargain that can't be beat.

This has to be one of the better foundations that I have ever used, and this includes the high-end ones. The formula doesn't quite cover-all as its name implies, but it does provide excellent coverage that doesn't look heavy or caked on. It went on smoothly and blended well. It has great wear time (disclaimer: I always use a primer). No breakouts. It even played well with my currently flaky, dry skin.
The color range isn't that great though...but I got lucky: the color Fair/Light is a decent match--it's a touch too light. It'll be a perfect winter match and I can warm it up with some powder for the summer.

I wanted to like this but who was I kidding this was a drugstore product and the cheapest one. It does not have good coverage as the package would imply. It felt very heavy and cakey to attempt to hide my imperfections (acne). The color selection also is not that great, I got the lightest shade 815 Fair and it was still too dark. I guess it's true what they said you get what you pay for.

I really like this foundation. In the beginning I wasnt so sure about it, but after using it constantly for 2 weeks i must say that I really enjoy it. It doesnt dry out my skin (which is normal/dry skin), it's just a perfect satin finish. The color match is perfect (lightest shade - i'm really pale.) It has a yellow undertone which i like. Good to cover up redness. I would say medium coverage. I mostly need to cover up redness which works well.
It is really cheap too, but the quality is nice. It has kind of a weird smell, but I'm willing to look past that. I don't like the packaging THAT much, i wish it had a pump. This can be pretty messy when you try to get some product out.
Would repurchase when i run out.

So at first, I thought this was going to be my go to foundation. But after a couple weeks (though I don't wear it every day) this product began to smell AWFUL! Seriously, it reeks like urine. So naturally, I've stopped using it.
But before that, I didn't notice that good of coverage at all (note: I hardly EVER see coverage no matter what I try) so that wasn't surprising but I've also found that it doesn't blend very well at all either.
Basically, if you want a urine smell on your face, buy this.

I've heard good reviews about this foundation, so I decided to try it. I just got it 2 weeks ago, and I'm loving it a lot so far! It has a nice consistency to it, as it says cream. The coverage is a nice medium and a bit buildable. The squeeze tube isn't that bad, but it gets messy, so I set mine upside down before using. I do have oily skin, and it doesn't last me all day, even when using the powder along with it. I have the shade medium because medium/tan wasn't available at my local Rite Aid. It does have a pink undertone unfortunately because my skin's kinda yellowish. I'm not sure if this broke me out because I've had a couple pimples, but I was also on my monthly cycle too...
Overall good product, I would recommend this :)

I have combination skin and a lot of redness on my cheeks/chin. Very cheap and found a shade the was a pretty good match, but I won't repurchase for the following reasons: This foundation doesn't provide enough coverage, I can still see the redness peeking through. Within a couple of hours after application, it seems to disappear and it streaks on my skin. I will go back to EL Doublewear.
