"The science-fiction writings of Cordwainer Smith consist of some twenty-odd short stories and two novels, which chart the history of an evolving civilisation over some fifteen thousand years. The history is internally consistent, and each story contributes to a coherent picture of the technological, social and spiritual development of the future described."
Just the titles were so amazing: "Drunkboat," "Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons," ""The Queen of the Afternoon," "Alpha Ralpha Boulevard," "Scanners Live In Vain," "Golden the Ship Was-Oh! Oh! Oh!" The man only published thirty stories or so, but he made them all count.
And then, of course, my favorite story and title, maybe my favorite SF story, ever, the one that begins:
"You already know the end—the immense drama of the Lord Jestocost, seventh of his line, and how the cat-girl C'mell initiated the vast conspiracy. But you do not know the beginning, how the first Lord Jestocost got his name, because of the terror and inspiration which his mother, Lady Goroke, obtained from the famous real-life drama of the dog-girl D'joan. It is even less likely that you know the other story—the one behind D'joan. This story is sometimes mentioned as the matter of the 'nameless witch,' which is absurd, because she really had a name. The name was 'Elaine,' an ancient and forbidden one."

Oh, no problem at all, it's a pleasure to introduce anybody to Cordwainer Smith. You can get all the stories in one or two inexpensive volumes – I have no idea how many copies of the various editions I've given away over the years, but…more than any other books, that's for sure.
I dunno how far you got into his real life details, but…they're pretty fascinating, too.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to microscope viewing stages and more particularly to adjustable viewing stages for particle beam or laser beam microscopes.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Semiconductor wafers can be viewed with Scanning Electron Microscopes to look for defects that might degrade or impair the functioning of integrated circuits made from the wafer. A Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) sweeps a beam of electrons across the wafer which stimulates the emission of secondary electrons from the wafer surface. The secondary electrons are detected to develop an image of the surface of the wafer on a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitor. Unlike optical microscopes, the electron microscope has electrically controlled, variable focus lenses and thus the distance between the specimen and the objective lens can vary.
In the past, wafers have been primarily inspected from a plan view substantially normal to the plane of the wafer. Unfortunately, a plan view of the wafer does not allow an operator to properly view undercuts and other features hidden from a vertical view.
A solution to this problem, addressed in an abandoned copending application Ser. No. 491,516, filed May 24, 1983 allowed the wafer to be tilted and rotated relative the lens so that an operator can see oblique elevational views of the wafer's surface. If the wafer is rotated or tilted eucentrically around the inspection point on the wafer (i.e. the axis of rotation or tilt passes through the inspection point), the inspection point will remain in the field of view and the focus will be maintained. On the other hand, if the wafer is rotated or tilted non-eucentrically (i.e. the axis of rotation or tilt does not pass through the inspection point), the inspection point will no longer be within the field of view.
Stage assemblies capable of eucentric rotation and tilt tend to be more complex mechanically and thus more expensive than stage assemblies that rotate or tilt non-eucentrically. For example, a stage assembly capable of eucentric tilt needs to be able to move in X, Y, T, and Z directions to minimize working distances at any given tilt angle. On the other hand, a non-eucentric stage assembly needs only to move in the X, Y, and T directions to minimize working distances, and thus eliminates the cost of Z direction adjustment mechanisms and controllers. Furthermore, the rotation mechanism of eucentric stage assemblies are complicated by the fact that they must be capable of rotating an entire X and Y carriage assembly rather than just a wafer pedestal, as is the case with a non-eucentric stage assembly.
The major object of this invention is to provide a stage assembly which allows a specimen to be mechanically rotated and/or tilted in a non-eucentric manner, and a controller which compensates for the tilt or rotation to return the inspection point to the field of view.
Briefly, the invention includes a support frame, a tilt frame pivotally supported by the support frame, an X carriage guided for linear motion in an X direction by the tilt frame, a Y carriage guided for linear motion in a Y direction by the X carriage, and a pedestal supported by the Y carriage for rotation about an axis normal to both the X and Y directions. The tilt frame, X carriage, Y carriage, and pedestal are independently adjustable with step motors.
A controller including a CPU, RAM, PROM, EEPROM, I/O ports, and drivers control the actions of the step motors. The method steps performed by the CPU essentially consist of: (1) inputting the rotation or tilt desired by the operator; (2) non-eucentrically rotating or tilting the stage accordingly; (3) calculating x and y correction factors to bring the inspection point back into viewing position; and (4) moving the X carriage by -x and moving the Y carriage by -y.
An advantage of this invention is that it is mechanically less complex than a eucentric stage assembly of comparable capabilities, and thus is more efficient, economical and reliable.
Another advantage of this invention is that the inspection point is automatically returned to the field of view after a non-eucentric rotation or tilt, which makes the apparatus much easier to use for an operator.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will no doubt become apparent upon a reading of the following descriptions and a study of the several figures of the drawing.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the control system for the stage assembly;
FIG. 7a is a flow chart of the steps involved in controlling a rotation of the stage assembly's pedestal; and
FIG. 7b is a flow chart of the steps involved in controlling a tilt of the stage assembly.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a stage assembly 10 in accordance with the present invention includes a support frame 12, a tilt frame 14, a first or "X" carriage 16, a second or "Y" carriage 18, and a pedestal 20. A truncated, conical, magnetic lens 19 is supported by frame 12 in proximity to pedestal 20.
Support frame 12 includes a substantially horizontal base member 22, and a pair of downwardly extending legs 24 and 26. The legs 24/26 are provided with bores at their lower extremities which, as will be discussed later, are receptive to pivot members.
Tilt frame 14 has a pair of side frame members 28 and 30 that are connected together with a number of cross members 32. The side frame members 28/30 are substantially pentagonal in shape, and are provided with bore holes near their apex. Pivot members 34 and 35 engage the bores provided in leg members 24/26 and side frame members 28/30, respectively, to allow tilt frame 14 to tilt relative the support frame 12.
Tilt frame 14 is also provided with a first or "X" linear guide comprising tracks 36 and 38. A drive screw 40 extends between side frame members 28 and 30 and is supported for rotation by bearing packs such as bearing pack 42. The axis of rotation of drive screw 40 is parallel to linear guide tracks 36 and 38.
X carriage 16 includes a pair of side frame members 44 and 46 connected by cross members 48 and 49. Extensions 50 of side frame members 44/46 engage tracks 36/38 of the tilt frame 14 such that X carriage 16 is guided for bidirectional, linear motion parallel to tracks 36/38. Retainer members 51 secure the X carriage to the tracks 36/38.
X carriage 16 is provided with a pair of downwardly extending ears 52 having threaded bores receptive to drive screw 40. Thus, rotation of drive screw 40 will cause the X carriage to move along tracks 36/38.
The X carriage 16 is also provided with a pair of guide surfaces 54 and 56 which are substantially perpendicular to tracks 36/38. A drive screw 58 extends between cross members 48 substantially parallel to guide surfaces 54/56. The drive screw 58 is supported for rotation around its axis, and is offset from the center of the X carriage.
Y carriage 18 is square and planar and includes downwardly extending followers 59 which engage guide surface 54/56 of the X carriage. Thus, the Y carriage is guided for bidirectional, linear motion substantially perpendicular to the directions of motion of the X carriage. The combined motions of the X carriage and the Y carriage cause the Y carriage to move about in a Cartesian plane.
Y carriage 18 also includes a downwardly extending ear 61 having a threaded bore receptive to drive screw 58. Rotation of the drive screw 58 will cause the Y carriage to move in a direction parallel to guide surfaces 54/56.
Pedestal 20 sits on top of Y carriage 18 and is supported for rotation by a shaft 60 which extends through a bore provided through the center of the Y carriage 18. The axis of rotation of shaft 60 is normal to the axes of rotation of drive screws 40 and 58 so that the upper or specimen surface 62 of pedestal 20 rotates within a plane that is substantially parallel to the Cartesian plane described earlier.
The movement of the stage assembly 10 is accomplished with four, high speed step motors 64, 66, 68, and 70. All of the step motors are actually the size of the step motor 70, but step motors 64-68 are encased within large, cylindrical pressure housings to prevent the motors from contaminating the vacuum within the SEM. Step motor 70 is not exposed to the vacuum and thus does not need the pressure housing.
Step motor 64 is known as the "X" step motor and has its shaft attached to drive screw 40. Likewise, step motor 66 is known as the "Y" step motor and has its shaft attached to drive screw 58. The "R" step motor 68 rotates the shaft 60 that is attached to pedestal 20.
Step motor 70 is the "T" step motor and has its casing attached to base member 22 of the support frame 12. The shaft 72 of the T step motor extends from both ends of its casing, and is attached at an upper end to a manual adjustment knob 74. The other end of shaft 72 extends through a vacuum seal 73 in base member 22, a bearing assembly 75 which is attached to leg 26, and into a worm gear 76. A plate gear 78 is attached to the pivot 35 which couples leg 26 of support frame 12 to side frame member 30 of tilt frame 14. Worm gear 76 engages the gear teeth of plate gear 78 such that rotation of shaft 72 causes the tilt frame 14 to make a pivotal tilt around pivot members 34 and 35.
Each of step motors 66-70 are independently controllable by a control system to be discussed subsequently. The step motors permit very precise adjustment of the position of specimen surface 62. For example, with the step motors currently being used, one step of the motor causes a 0.01� shaft rotation which, in the case of the X and Y step motors, cause a 0.08 micron movement of the X or Y carriages, respectively.
Referring now to the pictorial representation of FIG. 3, a stage assembly 10' is located below a lens 19' and includes an X carriage 80, a Y carriage 82, and a pedestal 84. The X carriage 80 is guided for motion in the X direction by guides 86 as indicated by arrow 87, and the Y carriage 82 is supported by X carriage 80 and is guided for motion in the Y direction by guides 88, as indicated by arrow 89. Pedestal 84 is supported on Y carriage 82 for rotation around an axis substantially perpendicular to the Cartesian plane in which Y carriage 82 can move, as indicated by arrows 90. The entire assembly of X carriage 80, Y carriage 82, and pedestal 84 can be pivoted around a tilt axis 92, as indicated by arrows 94.
With reference to the top plan view of FIG. 4, a non-eucentric rotation of a wafer 96 will be described. The wafer 96 is secured to the specimen surface of pedestal 84 by techniques well known to those skilled in the art. The desired inspection point on wafer 96 is point I1, which is directly below the opening of lens 19'. If the operator wishes to view inspection point I1 from its opposite side, he instructs the control system to actuate the R step motor to make a non-eucentric, 180� rotation of the pedestal, repositioning wafer 96 at a new position 96'. The point on the wafer that was being inspected is rotated on a path 98 to a new position P1 and thus is no longer underneath the opening of lens 19'. To move the desired inspection point back to the original position I1, the X carriage 80 must be moved a distance-x1 and the Y carriage 82 must be moved a distance -y1 along a path 100.
In FIG. 5 a non-eucentric tilt of wafer 96 is shown. In its original position, wafer 97 is substantially horizontal and is separated from the opening of lens 19' by a small distance d. The point under inspection is labeled I2. A non-eucentric tilt of wafer 97 around a pivot point 102 repositions wafer 97 at a new position 97'. The point that was under inspection moves along a path 104 to a new position P2 which is no longer under the scanning electron beam 106 of the SEM. To bring the desired inspection point back beneath the beam 106, the wafer 97' is moved a distance -y2. A small adjustment of the wafer 97' can also be made in the X direction (which is perpendicular to the plane of the paper), if necessary.
It should be noted that the distance between lens 19' and the new inspection point I3 has increased from "d" to "D" and thus reduces the resolution of the SEM. The increase in working distance under tilt conditions is also indicated in FIG. 2, where the pedestal is shown in a horizontal position in phantom at 20', and at a tilted position at 20. Thus, there the resolution of the SEM is inversely proportional to the degree of tilt of the wafer.
Referring now to FIG. 6, a control system 108 for the stage assembly 10 is shown to include a Central Processing Unit (CPU) 110, and a plurality of Input/Output ports (I/O) 112, 114, 116, and 118. The CPU 110 of the present embodiment is a 16 bit processor with an 8 bit bus, such as the Intel 8088 microprocessor. The I/O ports are primarily of conventional design, such as RS-232c serial interfaces.
CPU 110 is coupled to a Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM) bank 120, which stores the basic operating system of the control system 108, and to an Electrically Erasable, Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) bank 122 which stores user definable look-up tables. The CPU 110 is also coupled to a Random Access Memory (RAM) bank 124 which is used as scratchpad memory.
I/O port 112 is coupled to Operator Inputs 126, which come from the operator keyboard and control panel. Through Operator Inputs 126, an operator can specify desired X and Y inspection point coordinates, desired degrees of tilt, desired rotational position, and other parameters.
The I/O port 114 is coupled to Internal Sensor 128 which provides a variety of feedback signals concerning the internal states of the SEM. I/0 port 116 is coupled to Operator Displays 130 such as the operator CRT, plotters, and printers.
I/0 port 118 is coupled to a number of drivers 132, 134, 136, and 138 which are, in turn, coupled to step motors 64, 66, 68, and 70, respectively. The I/0 port 118 provides an x signal on a line 133 to driver 132 to cause the X step motor 64 to move the X carriage 16 the appropriate distance. Likewise, I/0 port 118 provides y, r, and t signals on lines 135, 137, and 139, respectively, to drivers 134, 136, and 138, respectively.
It should be noted that the control system for the step motors 64-70 is substantially open-loop since, during typical movements, there is no mechanical feedback of the shaft positions of the step motors. During these typical movements, such as a small rotational or tilt change, the extreme precision of the step motors 64-70 make such feedback unnecessary. There are, however, some mechanical feedback sensors (not shown) at predetermined locations in each of the motion directions to provide mechanical position feedback for calibration and zeroing purposes.
Referring now to the flowchart of FIG. 7a, the method steps for bringing an inspection point back into the viewing field after a non-eucentric rotation will be discussed. The rotation process starts at 140 with an operator request to rotate the inspection point by "r" degrees. At step 142, r is input into CPU 110 through I/0 port 112 and is temporarily stored in RAM 124. It should be noted that the current X and Y positions of the inspection point are already stored in RAM 124 due to previous process steps. Next, at step 143 the pedestal is caused to rotate by r degrees by actuating the R step motor 68. CPU 110 then, utilizing instruction steps stored in PROM 120, calculates the distance x that the X carriage 16 must move utilizing a first function Fx1 (r,X,Y), which is dependent upon the variables r, X, and Y stored in RAM 124. At method step 146, the CPU 110 outputs an x signal on line 133 to cause X step motor 64 to rotate its shaft the appropriate number of steps. Likewise, in method steps 148 and 150, the distance y that the Y carriage 18 must rotate is calculated using a function Fy1 (r,X,Y), and the Y carriage is appropriately moved by Y step motor 66. In steps 152 and 154, the values of R, X, and Y are updated and stored in RAM 124. The end of the rotate routine is indicated by the "RETURN" at step 156.
The flowchart of FIG. 7b illustrates the method steps for bringing an inspection point back into the viewing field after a non-eucentric tilt has been made. Steps 158-174 are analagous to steps 140-156 previously discussed with reference to a non-eucentric rotation. The method begins with an input from the operator of the change in tilt "t" desired at the inspection point. The T step motor 70 is then actuated to cause tilt frame 14 to move the desired amount (method step 161). The change in "y" during a tilt operation is dependent both upon the current tilt position T (which is stored in RAM 124) and upon the change in tilt t, and thus is determined by the relationship y=Fy1 (T,T+t). After the Y carriage 18 is moved by the distance -y, the change in "x" is calculated from the relationship x=Fx2 (T,T+t), since it also is dependent both upon T and t.
It should be noted that, for the current invention, Fx2 is simply an error function which returns very small values of x to correct for any mechanical imperfections in the assembly. This is because, in theory, only the Y carriage 18 needs to be adjusted to bring the inspection point back to the viewing field. Of course, in other embodiments of this invention where the tilt axis is not parallel to the X axis, the function Fx2 returns larger values of x.
As seen in method steps 170 and 172, X carriage 16 is then moved by the distance -x, and the new values for T, Y, and X are calculated and stored in RAM 124.
Of course, the method steps of FIGS. 7a and 7b are for illustrative purposes only, since there are many methods for calculating the x and y movements necessary to bring an inspection point back to the lens after a non-eucentric rotation or tilt. Furthermore, the order in which the x and y movements are made can be reversed, or even performed simultaneously. In very general term, the combined methods of FIGS. 7a and 7b reduce to: (1) The operator inputs the rotation or tilt to the computer; (2) The computer rotates or tilts the stage accordingly; (3) x and y correction factors are calculated; and (4) The computer moves the X carriage and Y carriage by the computed x and y correction factors.
While this invention has been described in terms of a few preferred embodiments, it is contemplated that persons reading the preceding descriptions and studying the drawing will realize various alterations, permutations and modifications thereof. It is therefore intended that the following appended claims be interpreted as including all such alterations, permutations and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

Clemson Senior
40: 4.46
Has good, thick build and looks more like a safety on the edge. Has the size and speed you want to match up with bigger wideouts on the outside. Comfortable working in press where he can use that size to his advantage. Shows ability to play the deep throw and defend the jump ball. Has the speed to run with guys on the outside. Contributes in run support, able to get upfield and make stop at the point of attack. Can sniff out screens and deliver hit to receiver/ballcarrier.
Doesn't have great hips and struggles to turn and run at times on the deeper patterns. Will bite on the double move. Doesn't do a good job consistently turning and locating the ball on the deep route. Doesn't always take great angles in space after the catch and will whiff on some stops after the catch. Not a great wrap tackler and will tackle too high, leading to other misses stops.
Maxwell has a good size/speed combination, but is a bit of a tweener as far as playing corner vs. safety. Was only a starter during his senior season, but lost reps in the second half of the year to Xavier Brewer and basically became nickel corner. Finished year with 46 tackles, 2.5 for loss, 1 pick, 7 PBUs, and 3 forced fumbles. Two previous years as a reserve player and nickel corner, he combined for 90 tackles, 4 for loss, 2 picks, 9 PBUs, 3 forced fumbles. A regular contributor on special teams. He tore his ACL during his senior season.
Maxwell if he was bigger would make a nice safety prospect. But he can play corner at the next level, I just don't think he's disciplined or technical enough to be a starter. He can definitely add depth and contribute on special teams. He can match up with guys on the outside, but I don't think he's a guy that can consistently cover and make plays. You put him on a tall, fast receiver in press on the outside and he can hold his own. But I'm not sure he has the ability to do much besides defend the deep routes. He just doesn't have the hips to really like him playing inside or working against the underneath stuff. As a safety, he can compete there, but probably isn't good enough in run support to really like his chances there. He could get by as a reserve and stopgap starter for a couple of games, but I think would be exposed over the long haul because I don't think he has the ball skills, awareness, and range to make plays there. His primary value will be on special teams and if developed could work in dime packages in a hybrid safety/corner role.
Maxwell gives the Falcons a big corner that can compete on special teams. But he's not a great fit going forward, not unless the Falcons fully commit to an aggressive press scheme. And even then he'd be a mediocre nickel corner that would require the team to have a good slot corner (likely a starter that moves inside in nickel packages) because he's not good enough to do that. He's really more of a No. 4 guy that competes on special teams for the Falcons, and may occasionally get reps on defense, but you probably won't like the results.
Maxwell's ability to provide depth and his potential means he is worth a sixth or seventh round choice.

I'm with Baily and Jumpstart on this
They could've just kept them on the lineup then pulled a Parov Stelar and just not showed up without letting anyone know. Then how would you of felt baily. Hm? HM?!
Obviously honesty isn't a characteristic u respect
I feel that a festival offering
50 bands (as an example dicks)
And 2 cancel they are obligated to get two bands of equal value to replace those lost.
What an amazing concept
But some of you fucks say na it's fine...bands cancel no big deal. No need to replace em.
Then don't ever complain about oil companies
Shit by that reasoning they can give you 3/5 of a gallon of gas and charge you for a full gallon and you'll be cool with it. The other 2/5 couldn't make it.
GV posted x bands playing
One (Beady Eye) was a top billing
No replacement
Same thing
Giving consumers less for the same cost
Had GV not officially announced x bands there would be no expectation. BUT the moment they do they have some obligation to everyone to come through...yea I know the 'subject to change' line...but they had over a month to do something...yet they didn't (so far)
Hope they do step up.
Eat a dick on that or did I make too much sense for your mind to take
Take less and be happy...that's your motto
'Eat a dick on that or did I make too much sense for your mind to take' is gonna go down in history.

Maybe if 40 % of the bands cancelled you could use that analogy ( I know the word anal is in this word by the way)
But 1 band who let's be honest are pretty shit cancelled I think we are better off
I just saw them in Australia and really people only wanted to hear the Oasis songs the rest is pretty crap
Don't feed Liam's ego any more
I was
Too Tall Paul takes Beady Eye's slot, problem solved
Here we go again....lol
This band is a broke ass Oasis, nobody cared they dropped off
I will miss Beady Eye, but the lineup is still pretty good. I still wish that Slowdive or Sleater Kinney could be added. Also, maybe the newly reunited Blue Aeroplanes, Close Lobsters or Kitchens of Distinction.
All this complaining and speculation and they end up adding The Pixies and Julian Casablancas, lololololol. WAY better than Beady Eye. Hahahaha and after all yer sissy bitching.

We're ready for a full-on battle – Cox
Posted: November 17, 2012|
Midweek exhibitions are gone, now it's time for Gloucester to get back to business says physical flanker Matt Cox.
Tuesday night's 31-29 win over Fiji gave all who crammed into Kingsholm a memorable occasion, but the possibility of exiting the LV= Cup looms large.
Last week's Ospreys slip-up put the Cherry and Whites on the back foot in a competition which they won just two years ago.
That Liberty Stadium loss coupled with bonus-point wins for Pool One rivals Exeter Chiefs and Harlequins has forced Nigel Davies' side to play catch up against grizzly opponents London Welsh today (4.30pm).
Oxford-based Welsh will still be wrangling from September's 31-25 late turnaround against Gloucester in their own backyard when the new boys were riding high following their first Premiership wins.
Lyn Jones' small squad can afford the luxury of sticking with more or less the same match day men and will be reeling from their 42-15 defeat to the Chiefs last week.
While Gloucester make 12 changes to their ranks with most of their first team regulars returning to action, potentially disturbing cohesion the youngsters built against Ospreys and Fiji.
But Cox says the squad must banish any sentimentality from Tuesday night and start all over again against Welsh with the Kingsholm factor cranking up the necessity for victory.
"That game is done and dusted now," said Cox.
"This week we have had a quick turnaround with three games in a week but we played them, we got the job done, and we look to the next job.
"We can't go thinking about what we've just done because the other job is creeping up on us a lot faster than we would have liked so a lot of the week has been quite disrupted.
"We were disappointed at Ospreys because we didn't do ourselves justice, especially how we finished the game.
"We want to come away with something this week, especially at Kingsholm.
"It doesn't matter what type of fixture it is, we're playing at Kingsholm.
"Whoever comes up against us we're going to give it 110 per cent and they're going to get it from us.
"They know what their strengths are, which is coming at you, especially in attack.
"They're very direct and I don't think there are many players in their team who will want to throw the ball around that much.
"They're a very physical side and have a strong mentality about how they're perceived by people."
Cox retains the seven shirt he has started in against Fiji and Ospreys with Andy Hazell still suspended and Akapusi Qera returning from brief international duty last weekend.
After playing more as a six or eight so far this season, Cox has enjoyed the extended run in the openside role that the LV= Cup window has afforded him.
"Seven is more the position the coaches see me in the long term and it's more my sort of role and suits my character to play there," added Cox.
"How we play seven in defence is to try and slow as much ball down as you can and get into a lot of the contact and the tackles and the more work you do the better the game you have. A six and eight is more specific, they're more structured, more to do with the team.
"Whereas the seven pops up a lot more in the breakdown and contact zones so you're going to get a lot more involvement in the game which is what I prefer.
"It's been good playing seven, but a lot of this season I've played six and eight so I was happy at having a crack at the position. The coaches didn't want to rush me too much, they were quite happy with me playing six and eight.
"But me personally I like to have a good run out at seven and these last few weeks have been good fun."
Gloucester: Rob Cook; Shane Monahan, Mike Tindall (capt), Billy Twelvetrees, Steph Reynolds; Freddie Burns, Jimmy Cowan; Nick Wood, Huia Edmonds, Rupert Harden; Tom Savage, Will James; Akapusi Qera, Matt Cox, Ben Morgan. Replacements: Koree Britton, Dan Murphy, Dario Chistolini, Peter Buxton, Ross Moriarty, Dave Lewis, Tim Molenaar, Drew Locke.

Holiday was time to hit beach
Some traveled from out of state to catch some waves, rays
A living room of lawn chairs and a playpen made of sand provided outdoor comfort for families and friends taking in the last holiday of the summer season Monday.
Kim McClellen, a regular beachgoer and island resident, shared her beachside living room with friends from Austin and Michigan.
"I'm here every weekend," she said. "This isn't the last weekend for me. As long as there's sun, we'll be here."
Down the island, 11-month-old Tyler Gilmore splashed in the shallow waters and rested in a sandcastle moat-turned-playpen near his parents' sunshade cabana.
"We bring all his toys out and he can dig in the sand," said dad Dave Gilmore. "For a little guy, he's not afraid of the water."
Gilmore, a Corpus Christi resident, said the holiday weekend was a perfect time to hit the beach, spending a few hours out both Sunday and Monday.
"I thought it'd be a bit busier, but I prefer it like this, not too crowded," he said.
Most of the out-of-town crowd appeared to have hit the road home Monday, leaving more space on the beach for Corpus Christi dwellers.
But some managed to get an extra day off and planned to skirt the crowds with a Tuesday drive home.
Such was the plan for the Martinez family from Fort Collins, Colo. Rosie Martinez drove the family down to visit husband and father Rick, who is stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. The whole family spent Monday on the beach, a first for 8-year-old Valerie, 12-year-old Anthony and the family dog, Macho.
"It's awesome," said Valerie, during a brief moment on land. "I like to swim and try to catch the waves and ride 'em."
Macho, on the other hand, wasn't too sure about the warm Gulf waters. He stayed on the beach, only getting his paws wet.
Debbie Hover, from Salt Lake City, hid from the sun's rays under towels after suffering a blistering sunburn Friday. Her son, Tyler, was also suffering. He was stung by a jellyfish and bitten on the toe by a catfish. But both were still smiling about their Corpus Christi vacation.
"We came just to lay on the beach," she said.
The Temprovich family of Austin tacked an extra day onto their Labor Day holiday. Kara Temprovich said her kids could miss a day of preschool for a family fun vacation.
Jacob, 2, took the time to learn about beach wildlife, seagulls and pelicans, he said.
"He's my little biologist," she said. "We're watching all the critters."
Kara said Jacob and 4-year-old Ethan spent Sunday digging in the sand, but were braving the salt water Monday, thanks to a pair of brand-new goggles.
"I thought for sure today would be packed," she said, adding crowds are fun for people-watching.
An umbrella down from the Temproviches, Constance Hernandez, a beach regular, said the police were keeping the peace and enforcing the parking sticker requirement.
"I knew I would come out today. I just didn't know if I'd be able to park on this city part that's maintained," she said.
But smaller crowds meant plenty of space for her.
"I live here. I have to pay for it. I might as well use it," she said.

Broken Record
When the going gets tough, the tough sing 'Besame Mucho.'
Jun 6, 2011, Vol. 16, No. 36 • By JOE QUEENAN
I sometimes suspect that, on the eighth day, after He had rested, God commissioned "Besame Mucho" as a fallback punishment should Adam and Eve ever be foolish enough to partake of the Tree of Knowledge. (I admit that my time frame may be sketchy here.) I also believe that "Besame Mucho" is actually tailing me, that I am being hounded to death by shadowy musicians I refer to as los besame muchachos. Two years ago, while on the train to Charles de Gaulle airport, I was forcibly serenaded on the accordion by a young man playing the song. I told him the Beatles story, and gave him two euros, but only with the proviso that he immediately stop playing the accordion and get off at the next station. The same thing happened in March when I was on the very same train to Charles de Gaulle: A young, talentless North African man boarded the train, armed with a jumbo-sized karaoke machine, hacked his way through "Delilah" and what appeared to be a trans-Siberian rendition of "Those Were the Days," and then essayed the dreaded "Besame Mucho." This was in fact the day, my friend; I thought it would never end. When the conscienceless young man went through the car after his set, seeking tips, not a single person loosened their purse strings.
"C'est cauchemardesque," I explained to him. "It's a nightmare."
I thought that was the end of it. But two weeks later, while dining in a Mexican restaurant near my home, I was hemmed in by three overbearing mariachi musicians who asked if I had any favorites I would like to hear. I requested "Aquellos Ojos Verdes," the beautiful old love song, but they said they didn't know it. "Perhaps we could do 'Besame Mucho' instead," the lead guitarist suggested.
"No," I said. "Anything but that."
The trio launched into a bracing version of "Perfidia," but after I generously tipped them $20, they went to the very next table and started playing "Besame Mucho." Pretty aggressively, too. This didn't seem very sporting. The dozen diners at the table grabbed their things, got up, and left before the final verse. No tip, either. The diners at the next table were similarly unamused when the trio began to belt out "La Cucaracha." I now suspected that the owner of the restaurant was using the mariachis to clear the room and free up tables in a diabolical form of ethnic cleansing. They were doing a pretty good job of it.
My waitress asked if I would like dessert and I said no, but a cappuccino would be fine. But just then the three men, having virtually emptied the room in less than 10 minutes, launched into a reprise of "Besame Mucho." I canceled the coffee, paid my bill, and left. That night, when I got home, my wife informed me that the wine-tasting fundraiser for the senior citizen center she operates pro bono would feature a Mexican theme this year, complete with a five-piece mariachi band. I asked if we had any carbolic acid lying around.
It is, I must now concede, a "Besame Mucho" world. I am merely living in it.

Sherri Phillips, 51, was charged with public indecency and disorderly conduct.
Deputies went to Sherod Park, just outside of Vermilion city limits, at about 11 a.m. Wednesday after receiving a complaint of a naked person on the beach. When they arrived, they found a wet-haired Phillips inside her car, wearing only a beach towel, the report said.
"She was oblivious to the half-dozen or so other occupied vehicles in the lot," the report said.
Phillips admitted she was naked in the lake, the report said. She remains in the Erie County jail on $400 bond.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Discover how to create, manage, and deliver interactive reports—not just to print, but to dynamically explore enterprise-level data—with Reporting Services in SQL Server. In this course, author Simon Allardice concentrates on using Report Builder to build and format reports from a variety of data sources, but also shows how to perform basic administration tasks such as granting user access and organizing reports in the Report Manager. Plus, learn how to add interactive sorting and filtering functionality to your reports, and create column and pie charts to better express your data.
Note: These tutorials are applicable to both the 2008 and 2012 versions of SQL Server.
So that we can focus on using Reporting Services, there are awesome things I'm expecting you to know coming into this course. Now if you are already comfortable with SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2012, that's great. You are ready to go. But it isn't essential and you be an expert on SQL Server. What is essential is you understand at least the basics of relational databases. If I talk about tables and rows and columns, keys and relationships, you know what I mean. Now this database knowledge doesn't have to be from SQL Server, although that is most convenient. It could be from Access or Oracle, DB2 or My SQL, as relational databases are all very similar in concept.
But if you're completely new to databases, first take a look at our Foundations of Programming: Databases course that covers all the basic concepts. It is also helpful to know some SQL. You don't have to be an expert; just knowing how to write select statements is good. And as you'll see, you won't have to write much SQL if you don't want to, but SQL Server Reporting Services is a product built on top of a classic relational database. So the more of that classic relational database knowledge you already have, the more you will be able to get out of this product. So if you can write basic SQL queries, great; and if you are a complete expert, even better.
Now what if you have got some of this knowledge but just need a refresher on this. Well, we have a SQL Essential Training course and one of the quickest ways you could go through this is to take a look at the SQL Server 2008 Essential Training Course, particularly the Creating Databases and Retrieving Data with SQL chapters. And with this in mind, next I am going to quickly cover some setup questions you might have, some basic terminology, and what we actually need to get started.
There are currently no FAQs about SQL Server Reporting Services in Depth.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.

text: The Skinny on SkinSkin is your body's largest organ. It protects you against bacteria, viruses, dirt, wind, heat, and cold. It also can serve as a "window" to the body, alerting doctors when something is wrong internally.Your skin needs a steady supply of new cells to protect your organs against infection, the elements, and other invaders. New skin cells, manufactured in the epidermis, migrate to the outer layer of skin. One square inch of skin contains millions of cells, blood vessels, nerve endings, and sweat glands.Your skin also regulates heat. Blood vessels in the skin widen when it's hot, evaporating perspiration, and cooling the body. They narrow when your body is cold, reducing the amount of heat you lose through your body's largest organ.Your skin is really made up of three distinct layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and subcutaneous tissue.EpidermisHighly specialized cells here produce substances called keratin and melanin. Keratin covers the skin with a paper-thin layer that's the body's first defense against invaders. Melanin gives skin its pigment, or color, to help protect you against the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.DermisThis second layer is elastic and fibrous, holding a network of blood vessels that feed and support other layers of skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, and nerves.Subcutaneous tissueThis deepest level is composed primarily of fat that the body uses as a cushion. A network of blood vessels and nerves runs through this layer below the epidermis and dermis.Protecting your skinThe best way to keep your skin healthy is to protect it when you're outdoors. Wear a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 that is broad spectrum (protects against both UVA and UVB rays), a hat with a brim, and protective clothing. Limit your time in the sun, particularly between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Keep in mind that even sun-damaged skin can benefit from a layer of sunscreen whenever you venture outdoors.Even with the best protection, however, your skin changes as you grow older. It tends to become drier and more wrinkled. It loses its ability to stretch, becomes thinner, and less plump looking. Gravity also plays a role, dragging skin downward and causing it to sag.You can treat dry skin that flakes and itches with a moisturizer that you apply just after a bath or shower, while your skin is still damp. Avoid using hot water. It can remove the natural oils from your skin. Also, limit time in the shower or bathtub to under 10 minutes. You may consider using a humidifier to moisturize the air in your home. Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

Top 5 O-line prospects
Alabama tackle tops the list, but Texas A&M could have another first-rounder
Originally Published: May 17, 2013
By Mel Kiper Jr. | ESPN Insider
Cyrus Kouandjio Stacy Revere/Getty ImagesCyrus Kouandjio anchored the left side of Bama's line in 2012.
The 2013 NFL draft will, in the short term, be considered the year of the offensive lineman.
• Two offensive tackles were taken at picks No. 1 and 2, something that had never happened before.
• Three tackles were taken among the first four picks, again unprecedented.
• A guard hadn't been taken among the top 10 picks since 1997, and two were taken among the top 10 picks in 2013.
We didn't see a record number of offensive linemen taken in Round 1, but the priority placed on the position at the top of the board was remarkable, with six of the first 11 picks coming from the offensive line.
For the first look at the offensive line class for the 2014 NFL draft, I'm going to combine the position groups (tackle, guard, center) within the top five, simply because based on positional value, the group is dominated by tackles; that way you get a better sense of how teams evaluate the position. In fact, the one player among the top five who will be listed as a guard actually played all of 2012 at tackle and is moving back inside for 2013.
What's impressive about this group is that even with the run on linemen in the recent draft, I think at least three of the guys below would have gone in the first round, and perhaps as high as No. 1 overall depending on how they fared during the evaluation process.
1. Cyrus Kouandjio, Junior, Alabama
He effectively held down the left side of the Alabama offensive line in 2012, allowing only 3.5 sacks and providing a consistent push in a dominant running attack. And he did this as a 19-year old. Kouandjio is just a natural at the position, with quick feet and the ability to both absorb pass-rushers and simply ride them out of the play, and he has good straight-line power as a run-blocker.
He has a chance to be a top-three pick whenever he comes out, and if he does so in 2014, he'll be drafted a few months short of his 21st birthday. If he stays healthy, he's got the potential to be a Pro Bowl NFL left tackle.
2. Jake Matthews, Senior, Texas A&M
Normally, if I project a player to go in the first round and he decides to remain in college for another year I sort of wince, simply because you want to see a prospect secure his financial future when he has the chance. And in Matthews you have a player who was a starter midway through his freshman season, and has been one ever since.
That said, Matthews really does have a chance to make some money. With the departure of Luke Joeckel, Matthews will move from right to left tackle and have the chance to prove that's his future position at the next level. I suspect he'll prove capable, and Matthews -- son of Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews -- will be the latest in his family to succeed in the NFL.
3. Taylor Lewan, Senior, Michigan
I don't care who the pass-rusher is, when you line up across from Lewan you're going to have to be creative or simply run yourself out of contain if you want to find ways to consistently apply pressure. An athletic 6-foot-8 left tackle, he's best in pass protection, where he does a good job of using the width created by his base and long arms to keep rushers at bay (that includes Jadeveon Clowney for most of the day in the bowl game; Clowney stunted inside on the legendary hit).
Lewan isn't a mauler in the run game, but he has the athleticism to get out in front of backs and he can hit a moving target. I think he had a chance to be one of the first three tackles taken in the 2013 draft, which obviously puts him in a pretty good class.
4. Antonio Richardson, Junior, Tennessee
If you want to see why Richardson can be a good blindside pass protector at the NFL level, throw in the tape of the Tennessee-Georgia game from 2012. In that game, you see the most productive pass-rusher in college football last season become extremely frustrated by Richardson. Jarvis Jones had zero sacks that day, and just 0.5 tackles for loss, his least effective performance of the season.
Richardson showed why he's so tough in that game; he just moves extremely easily for a 6-6, 335-pound man, neutralizing speed rushers with his feet first, and long arms second. Tennessee liked him enough that they moved Dallas Thomas inside. Thomas was drafted and could still get a look at tackle in the NFL.
5. Cameron Erving, Junior, Florida St.
The Florida State coaching staff is really excited about Erving, and when I took more time to watch him specifically, I can see why. In spring of last year, they converted Erving to tackle after years spent as a good but not great defensive tackle. At 6-6, 310 pounds, Erving is extremely athletic for his size, and he moves his feet to deal with rushers easily. You can see technique flaws, but also a game-to-game improvement.
You can't overstate the fact that a guy who'd never really played offensive line picked it up in the spring and then went out and started 14 games for Florida State a few months later. Erving could develop into a top-five pick if he keeps progressing like this.

1997 Volkswagen Jetta Q&A
1997 Volkswagen Jetta Question: If my car makes a clacking noise while driving in reverse what can it be?
While backing up I here a clacking noise and had it checked up by a few mechanics and they say its my axle. Can it be my axle or transmission going out? - nollie
Answer 1
Probably not axle!!!!!!!!! There are mechanics and then there are....well, people who don't have a clue about alien technology, i.e. Jetta. If it is a standard trans, they inherently make a whining noise in reverse, however, whining noise accompanied by a clacking noise, or a thud-thud-thud, is broken/damaged reverse gear in transmission. If it is automatic trans, it very well could be axles, yeah right, if you are doing a hundred in reverse turning left or right???????? Lol. Sorry, I get frustrated easy. - jnaplessiano

ThIs was a fun trip. We had a small group (5 people) so we got their upscale van. The seats were REALLY uncomfortable, although they were leather. And the driver/guide Richard drove way way too fast over bumps etc. The outlets was great fun for good shoe shopping/.. My main complaints are: the winery we went to , Viansa has mediocre wines. The other alternative was Jacuzzi which is worse. But the Main problem was that we spent hours in 90 plus degree weather and the van didn't have a cooler with bottled water or anything. I never found the food court at the outlets so by time we got to Sonoma I was half dead. PLUS we drove around an awful lot in traffic once we got back to SF so I didn't get back to the starting point till almost 7 PM!!!! Richard should have asked us if we wanted a rush hour tour.....

Literally means warrior formation, Baris is a warrior dance usually danced by men. The movements are dramatic. It is hard to distinguish whether it is the dancer that follows the orchestra, or the other way around. Or you can say that they both go off into their own dimensions, yet at certain well-defined points, meet to create an astounding tapestry. The dancers wear elaborate head decoration, from a gold-colored head band to leaves and strings of cempaka blossoms. Variants of this dance are sometimes danced by children and women. A Baris dancer must be supple, able to sit on his heels, keeping his knees spread wide apart in line with his body. His face must be mobile to convey fierceness, disdain, pride, acute alertness, and, equally important, compassion and regret-the characteristics of a warlike noble.
You can find this dance performed in Sanur, Tabanan, and Ubud. Here is a schedule of dances regularly performed in Bali.

Great idea. I would suggest, for outside use, the birdhouse be placed in the shade and that drainage holes be drilled in the bottom and holes drilled in the top and sides for air circulation. Although tough, sometimes baby birds perish due to the excessive heat when the parent birds occationally choose the wrong type of nesting place. This is a great idea that can be altered to make several appear like different types of birdhouses. Thank you!

I recently had the privilege of working for U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers for two years as her deputy director for the southern district. I represented her in the region from Wallula to Pullman.
She had the most professional, skilled, trained staff I had ever encountered. Responding to the needs and requests of her constituents was her number one concern. We logged every phone call, letter and comment into her database for a response.
I often received calls from people thanking us for a response, many from out of her district. Yes the letter was composed by staff, but she received a binder -- yes binder -- that she went home with every Friday night reviewing matters and meetings from all staff member for the week. She teleconferenced with all staff every Monday and Friday to keep tabs of needs in the district.
Her rise in the GOP leadership was a tribute to her intelligence, communication and organizational skills. This was a major accomplishment and a huge advantage for our area. Political capital plays an important part in government and this gave residents in our state a great advantage.
Her position helped us benefit from many projects throughout the state because her opinion and reputation as a team player was respected. She regularly worked across the aisle to achieve positive outcomes.
This was my perfect job and a real eye opener. I grew up with the idea that laws and rules were passed by their title and merit as simply stated. I was appalled to watch simple bills and laws turned into atrocious blackmail schemes. We desperately need a commander-in-chief who will provide leadership to this terribly broken system.
I strongly urge you to return Cathy McMorris Rodgers to Congress and elect a strong, ethical leader, Mitt Romney, to rescue our fractured government.

Multi-product combined licensing
Hello All,
We are new to teh Altiris asset system and have been trying to figure out how to set up license monitoring for the following situation:
We have an EA agreement where we have lets say 1000 licenses for office. This is for any year of office 2003, 2007, 2010, etc. How can Altriris report on this cumulative license? I see that I can put in a license count per version, but that does nto really help us.
Thank you in advance.
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You have the possibility to "borrow" your 2003 licenses to your 2010 licenses and also borrow your 2007 licenses to the 2010 licenses. Then you have different purchases but a total license count on the 2010 licenses.
To keep track of the different agreements, you can create a "Master license agreement" in which you combine all of your different agreements (2003, 2007, 2010) under one hood to see the entire license count of your EA agreement.

Im an Australian living in Oaxaca and like you have been inspired by the endless art especially textiles here in Oax…my creative juices are flowing and needing an outlet. I have always wanted to get in involved in textiles especially quiltling, perhaps you could orientate me to any quilters workshops ,communities or contacts to get me started?
Teena, thanks for your comment. I suggest you get in contact with Eric Chavez Santiago, the director of education at the Museo Textil de Oaxaca. The Museum organizes textile workshops and from time to time has offered quilting workshops. The workshops are very reasonably priced and everyone can attend.

By the way, for people asking me not to tweet about playing poker etc. Honestly, I don't think it's illegal to play poker @ home....since it's among my own friends and not open to random strangers! Also because friends have called the police to be safe and i've found several information online like the following:
"It is legal to play poker in ones own home. law enforcement is not looking for a friendly, once in a while poker game. law enforcement is looking for organized poker games, where the stakes are too high, the games are played more than just once in a while, and someone, other than the players, is making a profit. a friendly game of poker is not very high on law enforcement's list of crimes. there are too many drug dealers, drug addicts, kidnappers, and terrorists that need attention, first."
