Video Script Writer Extraordinaire
United States - Last active: 7 days ago - Tests: 7 - Portfolio: 4
Although I am a academic, copy, content and creative writer my specialty is video script writing- animated, whiteboard, narrated, training and sales. Even though academic and creative writing is based on quality content it is also based on the quantity of words- clients are always seeking a word count. Video script writing requires a completely different process and mindset than academic, copy, content and creative writing. It requires the writer to be able to take a large volume of content and reduce it to a bare minimum word count that can immediately gain a viewers attention and retain it throughout the entire video. The ability to write effective video scripts is skill that cannot be perfected overnight. I pledge to provide my clients with a degree of quality that they will be pleased to call their own. I am self motivated, hard working, detailed oriented, flexible and reliable. I believe that communication is significant in any business relationship. I have found that asking the right questions at the beginning of an assignment ensures that not only will be completed ahead of schedule it will exceed the client's expectations. My goal is to provide my Odesk clients with exceptional quality at reasonable cost and 100% satisfaction. Not only does a satisfied client leave positive feedback, they are likely to be a repeat client. Each client, no matter the duration or size of the assignment, should be treated with the up most respect. I am seeking to develop long term relationships that will be mutually beneficial for both the client and myself.

Graphic Designer - Printing Specialist
United States - Last active: 23 hours ago - Tests: 2 - Portfolio: 22
Creative, Experienced, Real World Graphic Design, Typography and Copywriting. Have you ever hired a graphic designer, only to have them come up with something so elaborate that you couldn't afford to print it? That is because they didn't understand the printing process or the capabilities and limitations of the equipment that you planned to produce it on. That is where I come in. I have spent my career in graphic design and possess a strong printing background. Don't get me wrong, I love to design the tricked out invitation or presentation with foil and embossing and spot varnishes and die cutting and gluing and lots of pantone and metallic inks - only problem, it is not in most budgets. Graphic design is about ideas, but it is also about details. I like to think that I am good at both. The greatest idea can fall flat if it is not properly executed - typography, spelling, use of photography, consistent branding... all are important to a successful project. As a designer, I had to learn that not every job is a masterpiece, that time is money and clients need to work within deadlines and cost constraints. So I learned to take my ego out of the job and adapt to customer needs. The first step in every job is to determine what it is that you need and then to create a compelling design that fits your parameters. I have spent many years in the advertising and printing fields. Both of these businesses gave me the opportunity to work with people in all types of industries - from small business to huge corporations, retail to manufacturing, service businesses to restaurants, tradesmen to professionals - I have designed for them all. So what are you looking for? Brochures, Flyers, Catalogs, Magazines, Books, Letterheads, Envelopes, Business Cards, Business Forms, Menus, Table Tents, Advertisements, Invitations, Door Knob Hangers, Packaging, Labels, Presentations, Annual Reports, Logo Design, Corporate Identity Packages - if it ends up as ink on paper I have done it and would be happy to create something for you - on time and on budget.

805 chipset? Hmm. Might be worth the wait.
LG G3 Prime Variant with Snapdragon 805 on Board to Launch Soon - International Business Times
Posted via Android Central App
Like the S5 Prime, it is doubtful that it will come to the States.
Just my $.02 and humble opinion. :)
Mav. :cool:
Sent from my Sprint Tri-Band LG G2.
I don't get why the states get crapped on like this. We want the best phones too!
If I knew it was coming here, I'd sell my M8 now and pick up a used G2 to tide me over.
It is annoying but as I said with the way I upgrade I have no problem selling the G3 and buy the Prime.
Pro S5
I am going to choose between the S5 Active and the G3 but if the G3 Prime comes out before August I would be willing to wait. The G3 display paired with the 801 chipset could prove problematic, I would much rather have the 805.
If no 3/32 version from Verizon, I will wait by default. This of course assumes the Prime is offered in a 32gb version.... I would keep waiting and continue using my one year old, but 32gb S4.
Nope, I'm waiting for the G3 prime delta force max. Snapdragon 9000, 9" screen, 6000mah battery, unobtainium construction....
I feel like this is going to be the new norm everytime a phone comes out. G5 prime, m8 prime, G3 prime, Iphone 6 prime etc etc
This phenomenon already existed but without the catchy "prime" terminology suddenly applied to it.
Every phone ever made has a successor, or "the next big thing", or now "prime" as it's being called. The only difference is that the manufacturers are coming out with the newer version much quicker. They could have just as easily called the LG G3 Prime the G4 or the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime the S6........Just remember that the moment you buy technology it is out of date, the manufacturer already has it's successor in the works.
I'm just curious what word they will use after they wear "prime" out......
I talked today at the g3 premiere in Poland with LG representative and he told me that the snapdragon in g3 is just a rumor and even the Qualcomm has still problems with that chip for mobile phones. So nowhere near future at least.

Interesting. ^
Mav. :cool:

I meant snapdragon 805 of course
Wysłane z mojego GT-I9300 przy użyciu Tapatalka
The mature adult in me would say, "Yes. I'm absolutely going to wait and see if the G3 Prime comes to the States."
The immature adult in me says, "Just take my money and give me the G3 now!!!!!"
The immature adult wins 99.9999999999999999% of the time :p
If no 32gb option with G3 for Verizon, then a definite wait for the Prime. If no 32gb then, will probably stick with the 32gb S4 for another year.
I'm definitely not in the market for the 2/16 version. Hopefully Verizon gets the 3/32. Also, now that Google is releasing Android L, I may just wait a while longer. I want to see if LG is committed to keeping the G3 current or if I should look for a phone that comes with Snapdragon 805 and Android L in a couple months.

Hi all, Jason here.
I know that words such as phenomenal, mind-blowing, incredible, breath-taking etc are often overused when describing the results people get on the Super Juice Me! 28-Day Challenge, but I am unsure how else to describe them.
I have personally dropped 28lbs in 28 days and have proved, I feel, that no matter how busy you are, whether you have to travel overseas, or if it's freezing cold where you live, anyone – if committed – can complete the Super Juice Me! 28-Day Challenge.
I effectively 'Super Sized' myself before we all started on Jan 5th in order to be part of this global social and health experiment. When I did the same thing at my retreat in Portugal while filming the documentary Super Juice Me! many said, 'well anyone can do it on a retreat as you have all your juices made for you etc'. This is why I decided to eat crap for 6 weeks before the Super Juice Me! Challenge we've all just been on, so people couldn't say I didn't know what it was like to be 'withdrawing' from 'junk foods and drinks'. During my 'Super Sizing' I gained a whopping 30lbs in 6 weeks! Just goes to show how much 'fat memory' I have! When I set out on 5th Jan with thousands of people from all over the world, I knew the results would be good, but even I was surprised at how bad I felt living on crap for 6 weeks and no exercise and how utterly amazing I feel today – Day 29 Results Day.
It seems I am not alone as the unbelievable results keep flying in today from all over the world. I shot a video to include as many as I can, but there are just too many and most of the results from today I will have to mention in tomorrows FINAL video. I barely had chance to get through the results that came in yesterday. I am encouraging as many people to share today's and tomorrow's videos as if it helps just one more person to achieve the same, it's worth 'Juicing It Forward' THANK YOU all again for taking part and WELL DONE to everyone joined in this year's World's Biggest Juice Detox, what a journey! The next global detox will be the BIG JUICE SPRING CLEAN and will take place April 13th – 17th, a nice 5 day 'put your body in for service' post Easter juice cleanse. Here's a link if you wanted to sign up for FREE today and keep your results coming, they help to inspire so many others. Oh and enjoy your first meal…HOW NICE WILL IT TASTE!
May The Juice Be With You!

Want to love it but...
I've had this app on my iPad for almost a year now and find it to be a very useful and great way to find some awesome deals. But for a while now, it just closes at random times and the worst part is that it loses all progress you made up to that point. I was just using it and was going through tons of stuff and had like 5 items in my shopping cart and your app just went black and closed. I'm not about to go through all that again, I'm sorry but I am deleting this app as soon as I finish this review. I've had enough.
I LOVE this app!!
I'm a deal hunting junkie, esp when it comes to the flash site sales. This app is great to skim through a good part of sale sites. I think the t-shirts & things for the home are my weakness'. Only draw bk is I wish u cld open in a browser easier.

INVENTOR. STEPHEN F? WEISBROD f it/md %-//Zzt/jzf(7imu United States Patent US. Cl. 307-117 5 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A time-on proportioning control system has a comparator such as a meter relay, output fromwhich is taken to a second comparator for comparing with a saw-tooth wave. The result is applied to a relaying device for controlling power-on as a percentage of each saw-tooth cycle.
This invention relates to improvements in eletcrical control systems and devices and has particular significance in connection with apparatus in which the proportion of the time for which power is applied is varied in accordance with a varying full time signal, for example for temperature control.
In the field of automatic process control it has long been known that maximum economy in controller design results if the power to the process is varied between two discrete values, rather than over a very large or infinite number of values. Thus the typical thermostat simply turns the power on and off when the sensed temperature falls below or rises above the respective two threshold values characteristic of such simple devices. More expensive and complicated controllers of this basically simple type provide for adjustment of the two thresholds and thus for reducing the difference between the thresholds.
Users of thermostat controls find that as the thresholds are brought closer together, reducing the dead band, generally the process temperature is held more constant-that is, better control is achieved-until the process begins to hunt or cycle, a phenomenon well known to those familiar with the control art. It has been found that still better control can be provided if, when the controller calls for more power, it obtains only a little more than just enough to produce the desired signal (temperature, in the case of thermostats), and if, when the controller calls for less power, it obtains only a little less than just enough to produce the desired signal. There are many disadvantages to helping a thermostat in this way, chiefly added cost of the manual adjustments and reduced automation as the load and desired temperature are changed, but the controller itself retains the simplicity of a thermostat and the economy of two value output control (often in the form of a pair of contacts on a relay).
More recently the concept of time-proportioning control has been found useful. If the two-value kind of control described above is forcefully and repetitively cycled between the two values rapidly enough, the time constants of the process will prevent the condition sensor from responding significantly to any one period during which either more or less power is supplied than is required to maintain the process at the desired sensed signal value. The essential matter of technical interest becomes not when is it calling for more and when for less power? but what percentage of the time is it calling for power? Thus it is to the problem of providing improved timeproportioning control that my invention is addressed. I have devised a completely automatic time-proportioning controller which is capable, at minimum cost, of providing control action approaching or exceeding the capabilities of far more expensive and complex proportional control devices, even when used for the control of large amounts of power. Simultaneously my controller is capable of providing independence of the various adjustments, for maximum operating convenience and adaptability to various kinds of processes.
While manually adjusted time-proportioning is not novel it is not very useful either, and the automatic equipment for time-proportioning has heretofore usually been inordinately expensive and complex.
It is an object of the present invention to provide simple and inexpensive means for overcoming the above mentioned difliculties.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent and the invention may be better understood from consideration of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram illustrating basic principles of my invention;
FIG. 2 is a graphical representation of the various signals, and of controller output power, with respect to time; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a preferred embodiment of my invention.
Referring first to FIG. 1, it is seen that a signal sensed in a process is compared with the manually adjusted desired value of that signal at a location 10. Either the incoming signal may be amplified first, or, as illustrated, the result of the comparison may be amplified at 11. The resultant, or error signal, has a value proportional to the divergence between the sense and desired signals, and may be zero when the two agree. For convenience the constant of proportionality should be adjustable, and the adjustment of gain is called Proportional Band Adjustment because the terminology is derived from conventional proportional controllers. An independent circuit at 12 provides a linear sawtooth signal which is compared, at 13, with the error signal to produce a control signal. The DC. level of the control signal may conveniently vary inversely with the resultant signal. A final controller 14 turns the process power up or down as the control signal rises above or falls below the threshold at 14 causing the desired time-proportioning behavior. Voltage adjustment may be provided where desired, as by an adjustable resistor 15-.
A temperature control example of operation is shown by FIG. 2. During the time shown, a sensed signal 20 drops. Meanwhile the saw-tooth generators signal 21 proceeds independently. The drop in sensed signal 20 is assumed (when subtracted from the setpoint) to cause the error signal to increase, so the control signal 22 rises. Curve 23 shows that for the example selected, then, before the sensed signal 20 fell the power was on approximately 30% of the time, Whereas following the fall the power is on approximately 60% of the time, which will tend to return the sensed signal to its previous value. If the sensed signal had fallen farther, for example, the percentage of on-time might have risen to or even Thus, there is an infinite number of time-proportion settings corresponding to an infinite number of error signal sizes, and a very desirable object has been achieved in that the average output signal is proportional to the error signal, even though the final control element (e.g., at 14) is merely capable of being on or off.
While it is not intended that the invention be considered as so limited, the present invention is particularly advantageous when used in conjunction with a meterrelay, which has well-known advantages including low cost, simplicity, ease of adjustment of automatic operation, and continuous presentation of measured value and setpoint.
In FIG. 3 the signal from the process is presumed to be amplified and subtracted from a setpoint by a meter-relay 30, comparable to subtractor in FIG. 1. There are many well-known adjustable setpoint meter-relays, as well as other equivalents, suited for use with my invention, but a preferred device is contactless, and for the purpose of this description disclosure it may be assumed that meterrelay is of the type fully disclosed in co-pending patent application of Geo. E. Hammond, Ser. No. 380,203, filed July 6, 1964, and assigned to the assignee of the present invention. In such a meter a knob 301 is used for manually adjusting a setpoint indicating pointer 302 and a rotatable segment 303 carrying a photocell 31 illuminated by a lamp 304 except when a flag 305 intervenes. Sensed signal current derived as from a thermocouple 306 energizes a coil 307 which reacts with a permanent magnet (not shown) to rotate both flag 305 and a sensed signal pointer 308 preferably about the same axis as 302 and 303 are rotated for setpoint adjustment. The error signal occurs as varying resistance in the radiation sensitive coil 31, connected to a source of regulated voltage in series with a dropping resistor 32. The supply voltage of this combination, and hence the change in output voltage for a given change in light intensity, or gain, may be made adjustable with a supply series resistor 33 and an adjustable shunt resistor 34.
In FIG. 3 a suitable saw-tooth wave generator circuit is shown at block 12 to comprise a unijunction transistor 41 provided with base resistors 42 and 43 between the power supply busses. The emitter of the unijunction transistor 41 is connected to a capacitor 44 (whose other terminal connects to the common supply lead) and to an adjustable resistor 45 of relatively high value, the other terminal of which preferably is connected to a relatively high voltage supply. The junction of the emitter, the capacitor 44 and resistor 45 are connected to the base of a conventional emitter follower transistor 46 having an emitter load resistor 47.
In FIG. 3 section 14 is again the suitable threshold power control, on-olf, circuit. Preferably, and as shown, this circuit is supplied with A.C. power at line frequency. An emitter follower transistor 51 has a load resistor 52 and is connected to the gate of a silicone controlled rectifier 53. SCR 53 controls the flow of current each half cycle through the coil 54 of an output relay having power contacts 55 connected in series with a source of process power, to control it, e.g., as fed to a load such as a process heater 56.
In operation, capacitor 44 is charged through the high value adjustable resistor 45 at a rate governed by the selected value of resistor 45. When the voltage reaches a threshold value characterized by the particular unijunction transistor 41 and its base resistors 42 and 43, and the actual supply voltage, the emitter conducts the capacitors charge to ground, whereupon the cycle starts once again, producing a saw-tooth voltage like that shown at 21 in FIG. 2. The emitter follower circuit provides high input impedance and current amplification to preserve the linearity of the saw-tooth waveform. Thus the output of section 12 at A is a linear saw-tooth voltage whose frequency may be selected by adjustment of resistor 45.
At B is found a voltage proportional to the error signal developed by meter relay 30, whose gain may be selected by adjustment of resistor 34. Since the polarity of voltages at A and B is positive with respect to the common power supply bus, the voltage between A and B is the instantaneous difference between these two signal sources.
In section 14, in each half-cycle whenever the upper A.C. supply lead is positive with respect to the lower, the circuit has a potentiality for conducting current through relay coil 54. This potentiality will be realized, however, only for those half-cycles during which the voltage applied to the emitter of transistor 51 exceeds a threshold governed by the components of the circuit 14. The voltage applied to the emitter of transistor 51 is the difference voltage AB. If the voltage from circuit 30 were, for example, very low (photocell brightly illuminated), then each time the saw-tooth voltage starts upward it will almost immediately exceed the threshold of circuit 14 each half-cycle. Generally, the timing constants may be selected so that at least 25 A.C. alternations occur per saw-tooth cycle, although very often they may be of the order of 200 or even 1000 alternations per saw-tooth cycle causing the relay contacts 55 to remain closed essentially all of the time. However, as the voltage at B becomes larger (due to reduced cell illumination) the saw-tooth wave must progress farther before the threshold of circuit 14 is exceeded each half-cycle, and relay contacts 55 are thus closed a smaller proportion of the time. When the voltage at B is very high, the threshold may never be exceeded, and contacts 55 may remain open throughout the saw-tooth wave cycle.
There is thus provided a device or system of the class described and offering the advantage that it is or can be completely automatic in operation and capable of approaching or exceeding the capabiilties of far more expensive and complex prior art arrangements even when used for the control of large amounts of power. Simultaneously, a system according to the invention provides independence (for maximum operating convenience and adaptability to various kinds of processes) of the various manual adjustments, e.g., as illustrated as:
(l) An adjustment means (resistor 45 in FIG. 3) for independently controlling cycle time (=1/saw-tooth c.p.s., as defined in FIG. 2);
(2) An adjustment means (resistor 15 in the one line diagram of FIG. 1, or resistor 34 in FIG. 3) for independently controlling proportional band;
(3) An adjustment means (knob 30k of the meter relay 30 in FIG. 3) for independently controlling setpoint adjustment.
While I have illustrated and described a particular embodiment and applied the invention to heat control, the arrangement is equally operable for other control purposes and circuits, and various modifications may obviously be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention.
I claim:
1. Time proportioning control for a system having a power line supply for a process, a process condition sensor and a process condition corrector, said control comprising:
a first comparator means which is connected to be responsive to a signal from said sensor and which has a setpoint, said first means being for comparing said signal with a desired value as determined by the setpoint and thereupon producing a first resultant signal,
a generator of a saw-tooth signal which generator is operable completely independent of any frequency characteristic of the power line and which generator has a frequency lower than approximately 2.4 cycles per second,
a second comparator means including circuitry connected to the first comparator means and to the sawtooth signal generator, said second means being for comparing said first means resultant signal with said savgtooth signal to produce a second resultant signal, an
a process power supply controller means having a characteristic threshold and for regulating said process power supply in a Proportional Time On sense, said controller means being connected to the second comparator whereby to operate responsive to the second resultant signal whenever during any saw-tooth cycle said second resultant signal exceeds the characteristic threshold of the said controller means.
2. Time proportioning control as in claim 1 further characterized by the first comparator means comprising an electro-mag- 5 netic-mechano-optic-electrical instrument means providing a setpoint adjustment and which receives signals from the sensor, compares them with said setpoint adjustment, and produces an electrical resultant signal representative of the difference.
6 saw-tooth generator and in part from said meter relay and leading to said third comparator, and the process power supply controller means comprising a silicon controlled rectifier whose threshold is determined by its own construction and by that 3. A control as in claim 1 further characterized by 5 manually adjustable means for adjusting gain of the resultant signal as received from the first comparator and applied to the second comparator.
4. A control as in claim 2 further characterized by 10 an adjustment means for independently controlling cycle time of said saw-tooth signal generator, and
of associate circuitry and by the voltages and currents applied and developed during connection with said second comparators subtractive connections.

Frank Iheanacho Arrested: Latest Details, Mugshot and More on Texas A&M WR
Texas A&M wide receiver Frank Iheanacho has reportedly been suspended from taking part in any athletics activities after he was arrested Tuesday in Brazos County, Texas.
According to Brent Zwerneman of the Houston Chronicle, citing the Brazos County justice system website, Iheanacho was "arrested on charges of failure to identify and providing false/fictitious information":
The charges stem from a February shoplifting incident in a Bryan Wal-Mart, according to KZNE Radio in College Station, which first reported the arrest. Iheanacho, a sophomore from Westside High, posted $2,000 bond on Tuesday, the day of his arrest.
Iheanacho has been suspended from all athletics activities per athletic department policy, according to an A&M spokesman.
Zwerneman also provided a look at Iheanacho's mugshot on Twitter:
Iheanacho played sparingly as a freshman in 2014, catching just two passes for 23 yards, but he was one of the top incoming receivers. He was ranked as the 13th-best wideout and the 89th-best player overall by 247Sports coming out of high school.
The Aggies finished 2014 with a 7-5 record and defeated West Virginia in the Liberty Bowl. Iheanacho caught one pass for 13 yards in the game. Zwerneman's report does mention the team is currently going through spring practice before spring break next week.
The school, as well as head coach Kevin Sumlin, will certainly monitor Iheanacho's situation before making any final determinations about his football eligibility.

Notre Dame Football: 5 Redshirt Freshmen Ready to Contribute
As coach Brian Kelly enters his sixth season at Notre Dame, the program stands on solid ground. While both 2013 and 2014 fell short of their high-end expectations, Kelly has the program on the best footing we've seen since Lou Holtz roamed the sidelines.
That has allowed the Irish to build their depth chart and stockpile talent that develops on the right timeline.
A young roster in 2014 turns into an experienced group in 2015. And after sitting out as true freshmen last year, expect five redshirt freshmen to make their mark come this fall.
With spring practice set to begin next week, let's look at five redshirt freshmen who are poised to make an impact.
Urban Meyer and Ohio State's Biggest Offseason Challenge
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State won't officially take the field as college football's defending national champion until Sept. 7, when the Buckeyes head to Blacksburg for a revenge game against the only team to beat them last season, Virginia Tech.
But that doesn't mean Urban Meyer will have to wait another six months to find the first opponent of the 2015 campaign.
It's a battle that started on the first day of Ohio State's spring practice on Tuesday and could continue all the way through a potential title defense in next season's College Football Playoff. With a roster full of young players eight weeks removed from winning the national championship—in football-crazed Columbus no less—Meyer knows he'll have to keep an eye on complacency as the Buckeyes inch toward the actual season.
"Do we have to be aware? We're human beings, man," Meyer responded when asked if he has to watch out for a sense of self-entitlement around his program. "Last year, I don't think we had that sense of entitlement at all. This year, I'm watching it."
Meyer said he hasn't seen any of it from his players—yet—but there's still nearly six months to go until the start of the season. The three-time national champion head coach has been in this position before, defending titles at Florida following the 2006 and 2008 seasons, neither time doing so successfully.
That wasn't necessarily due to complacency—the '07 Gators lost a lot of talent, and Meyer's '08 squad went undefeated before losing to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game—but the fourth-year Ohio State head coach has long stated his preference to coach an "angry" football team.
With a roster full of players who have just reached college football's pinnacle, that might not be the easiest attitude to install. After all, what's there to be angry about at Ohio State right now?
But if the words of Meyer's players are any indication, the Buckeyes aren't having any trouble coming up with sources of motivation—whether they be real or imaginary.
"We know that people are always going to doubt us, so that's going to be a big thing for us," senior linebacker Joshua Perry said after Tuesday's practice. "We know that we have a target on our back and that people are going to doubt us. We've still got something to prove every day that we go out there."
Doubters? For Ohio State? Just two months removed from a national title run, 14 starters returning and three of the best quarterbacks in the country playing for arguably the nation's best coach? There can't be many.
But that hasn't stopped the Buckeyes from finding them.
"We did lose players who were vital to that team last year," left tackle Taylor Decker said. "I can see why there are reasons people could doubt us.
"Not that I believe in those," he then added.
But while Perry and Decker—both three-year starters and presumed captains for the 2015 team—are already busy trying to maintain their team's competitive edge, they both are aware of the sense of complacency their head coach is fighting against. Make no mistake, Ohio State has gone from the hunters to the hunted after a playoff run that included wins over top-ranked Alabama and second-seeded Oregon.
It would be a shock if the Buckeyes weren't the country's preseason No. 1 team, and a favorable schedule would make anything short of a second consecutive playoff appearance a disappointing season. Bovada (via Odd Shark) currently lists Ohio State as a 4-1 favorite to repeat as national champion, the next closest team being Alabama at 7-1.
Decker, however, isn't ready to let his teammates buy it.
"It's kind of scary, a team coming off a big season like we did, to have a letdown," the senior said. "You don't want guys to think they've arrived or be entitled to winning games."
Only many of these young Buckeyes have already arrived, the losses in last year's lineup being limited to just four players who were invited to last month's NFL Scouting Combine. Ohio State will return the current Heisman Trophy front-runner in Ezekiel Elliott, one of the nation's best defenders in Joey Bosa and one of the country's top quarterbacks—whether it be Cardale Jones, J.T. Barrett or Braxton Miller who starts at signal-caller against the Hokies in September.
That, of course, is a long ways away, which is both good and bad for the Buckeyes. On the one hand, Ohio State has half a year left of hearing how great it is before taking the field for a game again. On the other, Meyer has that much time to guard against it.
"I don't feel it," Meyer said. "If I do, we dive right in. Not a whole lot of whispering. We dive right in and see what the problem is."
For now, Meyer insists he's more focused on seeing how his two new assistant coaches fit in with the Buckeyes' already established culture rather than forming an identity for next season's team. But if you listen to his players, the process already seems to be taking place.
"It wouldn't be as fun if everybody was always cheering you on all the time," Perry said. "You kind of need those doubters to give you a little bit of that extra edge."
It still remains unclear exactly who those doubters are. Just don't try telling that to the Buckeyes—they have mindset, and they're trying to maintain it.

Marco Polo Cruise Review by Bryan Jones: A first time encounter with cruising at sea.
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Marco Polo Europe - British Isles & Western Cruises
A first time encounter with cruising at sea.
We arrived at Tilbury at 13.35, while I parked my wife joined the queue for checking in. The checking in process was speedy and efficient. By 1400 we were in our cabin with our luggage. Our cabin was perfectly adequate, nothing luxurious but we had booked the Voyager Inside Guarantee package for only £699 each.
We were booked on the first sitting for dinner and our principle waiters Ivo and Dawson were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. I would give the food 7/10 with three dishes 9/10. The wine, at least the one I chose was good.
We enjoyed the entertainment in the Marco Polo Lounge, it was well presented and well performed.
The public areas on Marco Polo were all comfortable and well furnished. I also made good use of the excellent gym facilities.
We found all the staff very pleasant and cheerful, but we do like to treat the staff as we would like to be treated. We had read some less than complimentary comments about Marco Polo More before we sailed, we found none of them to be true. Possibly people get what they deserve.
Would we consider going on Marco Polo again? Definately. Less

Firstly, I researched this Hotel before I booked with my agent and I certainly understood about the Diamond Class ROOM and the Diamond Class ALL INC food suppliment - I can't understand why other people are confused by this simple thing? If you BOOK DIRECTLY ON THE HOTEL WEBSITE, then it clearly says if you book a Diamnond Class SUITE, you get the Diamond Class AI as well. The agency I booked with clearly stated their Special Offer is that you can upgrade to a Suite for a small fee, but that does not include the Diamond Class AI food/drink - seems simple to me?! Stayed last week in June.
Please don't listen to all the moaners who typically either did not read their paperwork properly and didn't bother to research the Hotel properly before they book, or just want something for nothing. Go with an open-mind and you will enjoy yourself....
ROOM - My wife and I paid to upgrade to a Shared Pool suite (got a really good discount as booked early) and it was a fantastic choice for the money! No need to wonder down to a pool and look for a lounger, or have to walk all way back to your room when you want something. This kind of Suite anywhere would have been well over our budget if it were not for the early booking discount we got. The shared pool was so nice to be in with a shallow ledge so you can just lay in the water and the sun! Daybed was very cool and stylish. Great views of the Med from there as well.
Location - is a bit isolated (but of course we knew that!) and you do need a car or taxis, but we booked this RESORT HOTEL becasue wanted to stay on the resort.
Food - the Hotel provide CHOICES to you. You either pay for the standard AI and eat the buffet restaurant, or you upgrade and eat in one of the other 3/4 eateries, or Theame Nights. AI does not mean you can eat/drink anywhere 24 hrs; this is common sense to me! My wife and I don't go on hoiday to 'binge' eat/drink, so AI was no issues for us. We ate in each place once through the week and the food was always fresh, pleantyful and good choice - this is Greece and so the choices are typically med food which we like, we obvioulsy understand that buffet food is not going to be the same as al a carte - if you want this, go into the local town. One of the reasons we come to Greece in the first place is for their food! Ice cream by the beach was a treat too.
Beach - we have been to Crete twice before and know the natural shore is not really sandy - Crete is a rocky island - but what the Hotel have done is really cleaver. They have set a wall out in the sea which has created a lagoon, so when the regular strong waves come in, the lagoon area is nice and calm. This is ideal for famimlies and guests who just want to drift in the water. It is almost like a salt-water pool! Lovely sandy beach, but as always in Crete, a slightly rocky seabed.
Staff - ALL, and I mean all, the staff are friendly, professional, understanding and helpful. My particular thanks goes to Michalis and the other restaurant staff who really looked after us and organised table, drinks etc and always had time to chat - we felt like royality!
Overall, this Hotel is very much recommended if you are thinking of staying in Crete. Upgrade to Diamond Class Suite if you can afford it, if not, then the choose your options with the above research in mind carefully.
I hope I've given a fair and reasonable account, unlike I have to say, some of the other rants I read!

This Getaway lead to an almighty car crash
Some films aren't appreciated in their time, and go on to become cult films. Some movies are so bad, they're good, and people just love to hate them – a la The Room or Birdemic – but some films are just plain bad. They're so bad, the critics are merciless, and the investable box office crash that ensues can set actors' careers back a few years.
Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and Jon Voight at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Getaway'
Getaway seems to have fallen into the latter category: an awful film that no one will actually begin to ironically like in years to come. There's always the chance they could, but films that really try to be cool tend to get tossed on the pile labeled 'Monte Cristo that was bad.'
We like how the critics didn't hold back:
"Getaway is an awful picture -- gawky, moronic, and dull. Once again, Solomon proves himself to be an abysmal director, and Hawke should probably look into new representation," say Blu-ray.com.
"There is literally nothing redeemable about Getaway, besides the fact that, at 97 minutes, you won't waste your whole day on it," say The Playlist. Hear that? "Literally nothing redeemable".
"Even without the terrible dialogue, the movie probably wouldn't have worked, as the car chases, impressive at first, quickly become repetitive," say Las Vegas Weekly, while The Hollywood Reporter say it's a "Brainless chase flick" that "doesn't even offer guilty pleasures."
All in all, it's clear to see that Courtney Solomon and Yaron Levy – the directing team behind this getaway that lead to a car crash – have managed to royally fluff their lines with this one. Don't even go and see if for a laugh, seriously.

I was wondering if anyone could help with this. I have searched on Google and found stuff similar, but nothing that exactly describes my issue. Some have been close, but answers have been spark plugs etc and being a diesel it doesn't have any.
My focus 1.8 TDCI has been bang on since I got it, no issues at all. Serviced correctly and any parts Ford saying it required I bought. I do about 6000 miles a year roughly in it.
One morning last week after finishing a nightshift though I started the car, it fired up fine, but 2 -3 seconds later it died. Started again without issue, then died. This continued 4 or 5 times and then it fired up and was fine. I decided it'd give it a little bit of a boot on the motorway and it was fine until in 4th gear at around 2.5k revs it started to jerk about like it was misfiring or being starved of fuel.
I gave it a proper test later on after catching some sleep and i noticed that throughout all the rev range it is perfectly fine if you accelerate at a reasonable speed. Once you put the foot to the floor however, it accelerates fine upto around 2.5k rev mark and then struggle again.
My theory is the fuel filter is clogged. I looked over all my receipts from Ford and its mentioned just about everything other than the fuel filter being replaced. Does this sound correct? My theory is that fuel is getting through, but when the engine starts drawing a lot more under hard acceleration, that a clogged fuel filter would be starving it from the required amount?
The car starts fine, no issues, the car idles perfectly, so I don't suspect its any injector issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You in advance.

Jack Herer
Find Jack Herer @ Hot Spot Collective in Los Angeles, Ca
Jack Herer is a prized sativa-dominant indica/sativa hybrid well known for both its cerebral high and its strong body high. The strain is a cross between Skunk #1, Haze, and Northern Lights #5. Jack Herer is the parent to many subset strains.
Northern Lights
Northern Lights is renowned for its ability to be grown very easily. The strain's reputation also comes from the fact that it has won competitions such as the Cannabis Cup. The #5 strain was first entered into competition 1989 when several seeds were mailed from the U.S.A. to Amsterdam. The strain quickly dominated the Cannabis Cup, winning in 1989, 1998, and again in 2009. It is a cross of Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa.

Super Lemon Haze strain review
The Super Lemon Haze is a superstar. This strain swept first prize in Amsterdams Cannabis Cup for two consecutive years (2008 and 2009), also taking second in the Sativa Cup in 2009. The popularity of this strain stands on the shoulders of its predecessors. The father, Super Silver Haze, was already famous, taking high accolades and multiple prizes throughout the late 1990s. However, not all children of the famous go on to earn fame in their own right. It takes the right combination, and in this case, that combination involves a Lemon Skunk mother, a selection from a Citral x Skunk cross.

Net Neutrality and technological neutrality - some further elements - Prof. Eugenio Prosperetti Business Models for IT 5 novembre 2009 Tech neutrality and regulation • 1997 (U.S.) Framework for global electronic commerce states "rules should be technologically neutral" • 2002 (E.U.) New Regulatory Framework for telecommunications contains reference to technology neutrality principle • Since 1997 and the Internet revolution the principle of tech neutrality enters regulation, but… 2 Understanding tech neutrality • Apparently, there is no clear understanding of the principle by regulators (Reed, 2007) • Often, the principle is stated as a core principle but there are no remedies/procedures for its enforcement • Tech neutrality is often invoked to support antitrust remedies against conditional access services, we will see this is not always correct • Tech neutrality is about "access" to networks and services 3 Tech neutrality principle, regulated - 1 • Framework Directive (2002/21/EC), Art. 8(2): – Member States shall ensure that in carrying out the regulatory tasks specified in this Directive and the Specific Directives, in particular those designed to ensure effective competition, national regulatory authorities take the utmost account of the desirability of making regulations technologically neutral. 4 Tech neutrality, regulated - 2 • Italian Communications Code (D.lgs. 259/2003, Art. 4 (g): "La disciplina delle reti e servizi di comunicazione elettronica e' volta altresì a: (…) garantire il rispetto del principio di neutralità tecnologica, inteso come non discriminazione tra particolari tecnologie, non imposizione dell'uso di una particolare tecnologia rispetto alle altre e possibilità di adottare provvedimenti ragionevoli al fine di promuovere taluni servizi indipendentemente dalla tecnologia utilizzata." 5 Tech neutrality, defined • So, what is tech neutrality? • Non discrimination (by law) between specific technologies • Non imposing (by law) the use a technology over another • Ensuring the possibility of adopting reasonable regulation to promote certain services, regardless of technology issues • Rules should neither require nor assume a particular technology 6 Tech neutrality, two kinds • There are two kinds of tech neutrality: – Network technology neutrality (different from net neutrality) • Not imposing any specific requirement on networks which forces a certain network to serve only a certain technology – Service technology neutrality (service neutrality) • Ensuring that services on networks remain open to any reasonable technology which may be used on that network by consumers 7 Examples • If operators possessing rights to use sat frequencies are required to configure them in such a way that broadband is not possible… • If terminals operating on a network do not allow certain services which are technically possible (e.g. VoIP on mobile networks) Specific tv neutrality regulation • Art. 31 Universal Service Directive (2002/22/EC) • 1. Member States may impose reasonable "must carry" obligations, for the transmission of specified radio and television broadcast channels and services, on undertakings under their jurisdiction providing electronic communications networks used for the distribution of radio or television broadcasts to the public where a significant number of end-users of such networks use them as their principal means to receive radio and television broadcasts. Such obligations shall only be imposed where they are necessary to meet clearly defined general interest objectives and shall be proportionate and transparent. The obligations shall be subject to periodical review. • 2. …determine appropriate remuneration, if any, ….while ensuring that, in similar circumstances, there is no discrimination in the treatment of undertakings providing electronic communications networks. … a proportionate and transparent manner. 9 Service neutrality: critical principle with new models • Google applications and network remuneration • Google provides service which was once vertically integrated into network provider (e.g. voice, mail, apps, content, etc.) • Mere conduit has low appeal/remuneration • Does Google has an obligation to remunerate carrier? • Does the principle safeguard Google? Interactions with net neutrality • Net neutrality demands: – Transparency in QoS – Users should be able to demand some priority in certain services and some network management – If imposed, they should know about these policies (e.g. railway traffic) – …and be able to have them turned off (paying?) Therefore: • Google should not pay but… it cannot ask for priority unless… • Users allow such policy • Telcos cannot prevent such policy but… • They can market neutral offers and try to incentivate other services…. • Microsoft is trying to compete with Bing The myth of NGAN networks • Race to invest on an NGAN network • An infrastructure which brings ultrabroadband to households and businesses • It might be pointless w/o: – Tech neutrality – Interoperability – Net neutrality In fact… • NGAN could result just in an open infrastructure supporting a series of closed business models • Why should public policy provide incentives to this kind of business? • Facebook, Google books, Google docs, iTunes, Playstation store, MSN, Skype, etc. are the building blocks of a non neutral network • If this is the model, they should pay for transport (supply side) Else • New business model for tlc network is required • Something new started in UK in 2006 (functional separation) • Incumbent BT "agreed" to spin-off its network in a separate company "OpenReach" in the BT Group • To avoid antitrust sanctions Telecom Italia 2008 • Something similar: Open Access • Unilateral undertakings to "better comply" with regulation • Approved by AGCOM • Open Access division, monitored by a Board, to regulate wholesale • But… Something more is required • Open model for communications • A consortium of operators • Fiber capacity to be provided by local operator and compensated in an exchange system • Many groups are working on similar models • Dark fiber to corporate/institutional users • Service detached from transport • A very different pricing Something more also in mobile • Virtual mobile operators • MNO just frequency carriers • Value added services generate revenue • Voice traffic is not the key • We will look more into this

Ike Young Jr.
Published: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 at 10:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
Cherished father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend, Earl Clemmons "Ike" Young Jr., went to live with our loving Lord on Tuesday, July 13, 2004, at Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston-Salem after battling a long illness.
A memorial service of joy, praise and thanksgiving for his special life and our gift of love will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at Davidson Funeral Home, Lexington Chapel, by the Rev. Eric Disher. Burial will follow in Lexington City Cemetery with military graveside rites by VFW Post 3074.
Mr. Young was born in Davidson County on Sept. 3, 1919, to Earl Clemmons Young Sr. and Etta Medlin Young. He was a retired sales representative for General Mills in Raleigh. He served the Lord faithfully for many years as a member of Second United Church of Christ and was an elder emeritus. At the time of his being lifted to glory, the Lord had called him to be a member of Rich Fork Baptist Church, where he taught Sunday school and shared his testimony and love. He was a member of the Gideon's International. During World War II he served as a first lieutenant in the Army, receiving an honorable discharge and citation from the president of the United States for honor and distinction beyond the call of duty. He was a life member of both VFW Post 3074 and American Legion Post 8. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 50 golden years, Virginia Strange Smith Young, on Feb. 22, 2000; his parents; a brother, and a sister.
He is survived by a large, loving, dedicated family, including one son, William Howard "Chip" Young and his wife, Teeny, of Lexington; and one daughter, Maryann Young Harris and her husband, Steve, of Gastonia. Also surviving are four precious and loved grandchildren, Tonya Webb and her husband, Paul, of Salisbury, Shelly Ann Hayes and her husband, Jeff, of Thomasville, Kristin Harris of Cary, and Steven Dale Harris Jr., of Chapel Hill; and the latest "little apple of his eye," a great-grandchild, Coty Webb. Other special survivors include brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Sam and Marietta Sink, and numerous nephews and nieces whom he cherished deeply and whose love and visits brought him tremendous joy.
The family will receive friends Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Davidson Funeral Home and other times at the residence.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to your local church scholarship fund; Brenner Children's Hospital, Development Office, c/o WFU Baptist Medical Center, Medical Center Boulevard, Winston-Salem, N.C. 27257; St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, P.O. Box 1000, Department 300, Memphis, Tenn. 38148-0552; or the donor's choice.
The family would like to thank loving, extraordinary, caregiving friends Iris Wood, Don and Sandy Kennerly, Richard, Eve and India Green, Finch and Mary Leonard, Calvin Bruff and Stokes Everhart, many dear friends from Second United, too numerous to name, and a community of friends wherever he went. There are so many to list that if we failed to recognize your kindness, please know it was not intentional and that we thank you so much.
