I'm still on the fence. I have mileage that will cover airfare but DH's business is struggling and we don't have the extra income at the moment for the hotel, ticket, and other expenses. WANT to come. :) Will keep you posted.
Also--we have our own big event (1000 people on 10/22) that I am in charge of and things are getting insane for me. I'm sure Eleni can appreciate that right now.
We should webcast this so everyone else can be there--or plan an online chat for the same night for those who can't make it. Or did I miss other official plans?

>Thanks for the reply .... and I am aware of what you tell
"Hope you one day, do find the pathway that leads to enlightenment... but first you must shed the burdensome and heavy YOKE, known as YOU... Then, emptied of yourself, you will be a vessel into which GOD can pour Himself and the GLORY of His TRUTH"
>Sorry, but your UR theology is hobgoblin ..... is not christianity at all ..... and your words are all moot in my opinion .... neither do I accept your condescending and rash dialogue
Your core position is that all humans are saved regardless of what they believe .... this is not biblical truth at all and only the devil himself would contrive such a sham
Your entire system of UR theology is contrary to the basic bottom line tenants of biblical truth .... and much more deception abiding
So there is no congruency with our views and no need for discussion
My objective is to present views of biblical truth as I see them ..... and you must do the same
Let's not waste time bantering over the differences ..... and exercise in futility for both
WH,If I wish the dialogue between you and I to stop ..... all I have to do is stop it by not responding to youIf you have a reasonable question and agree to drop your unacceptable demeanor I may answer
Nathan,"Willie has a great heart">I will tell you that WH does not fool me at all .... his behavior and decorum reveal much .... and this also speaks of his following
My recommendation to UR proponents .... follow the "Son" and His truth will set you free
I am a very straight forward and candid personality and I do not mince around with spiritual folly and magic carpet riding theologies
The scriptures are very clear to me on this issue and only a fool would discount the negative side of the unbeliever's fate
.... and I do not believe in an eternal tormenting of those who refuse the Lord by the way as you implicate .... the scriptures do not teach this at all
However, the unbeliever's fate will be one of extinction with no continued existence ..... no recourse
The Lord intends to separate .... and He will, make no mistake about this
I could post a multitude of scriptures on this biblical fact .... but you have a Bible I presume
Bring your questions on and if reasonable, and if you watch you behavior .... I will answer
The Day of the Lord will come suddenly and without signs or warnings
.....make sure you are ready and do not get caught off guard
You may die before, but must be ready either way
The fear of the Lord25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
"1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour."Time lapse given in scripture and evaluation of "hour" in this case must be rendered correctly to understandLast "hour" is on reference to "time" or era .... the last time.... before His second adventThe "Day of the Lord", the "last days", at "that time", in "that day" are all in reference to a time frame, or period in which the Lord will do thingsIn this case, the "last hour" is an unknown time lapse that is still ongoing to this very day since the Lord's first adventNo one knows how long this course will run .... the Lord has not revealed the duration .... those believers in the first century did not know, but were waiting and watching ..... just as we must todayWe are still living in the "last hour" [time] before His returnMany have come and are "against the Lord" [anti-christ] and even claim to be His followersAnd so will the "antichrist" come as the scriptures tell .... the little horn, the Assyrian, the king of the northern Middle East, satan's beast from the abyss
Jesus Christ will save only those who seek Him, repent of sin, and choose to accept His offer of salvation .... unfortunately the majority of humanity will not pay heed to His calling

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

If you want to upload a lot of documents to Google Docs, it's difficult to upload them one by one. You can send the documents by email, but this option is not very reliable and not all the formats are supported.
Google Docs has an API that lets you upload, download and edit documents, but there aren't many applications that use it. One of these applications is Google Docs Batch Upload, developed by Anton Beloglazov. It's a command-line Java application, so it should work in Windows, Mac, Linux, as long as you have JRE 1.6.
Google Docs Batch Upload lets you upload all the files supported by Google Docs from one of your folders. Use the following command to upload all the files from a folder and all its subfolders (unfortunately, the application doesn't recreate the folder structure in Google Docs):
java -jar google-docs-upload-1.0.jar <path> --recursive
(replace <path> with the path to the folder you want to upload)
In other news, documents will not be editable from 12:00 to 1:30 pm PST, according to the Google Apps Status Dashboard.

I spend sleepless nights determining where my next image will be captured, anything is possible now. I challenge you to go out, shoot some images, and don't be afraid to submerge yourself…because now...you're LifeProof! -Jesse Foy

The woman skated unsteadily across the rink, still awkward in roller skates. As she took another stride, she lost her balance, arched her back in an attempt to regain it, but fell to the floor with a thud.
Almost immediately, a chorus of voices called out.
"Are you OK?"
"You're all right!"
"Good try!"
"You got this!"
It was a moment from a practice of the Fort Walton Beach roller derby team, the Beach Brawl Sk8R Dolls. It was almost interchangeable with one at the practice Crestview's team, the Okaloosa Rollers.
Many women start roller derby to find a new way to exercise or for something to do at night, but they ultimately stay with the sport because they find a family.
"We not only support each other here, we're supportive off the track," said Patti Boyd, president of the Sk8R Dolls.
View a slideshow from team practice.
With practice, bouts, and field trips to watch other teams play, Boyd doesn't remember the last weekend she was without her team.
That friendship doesn't end there. Roller derby is one of the few sports in which teams pummel each other for 60 minutes only to drop all the friction after the game, Boyd said.
"Every bout has a party after it," Boyd said. "The teams party together."
The "alter egos" are an extra fun part of the support, said Tessa "Rampage Rae" Grabas, the Okaloosa Rollers' president. You get to create something outside of yourself.
"Be a little bit of a different you," Grabas said.
The sport takes all kinds, said Dawn "MissChief Managed" Weaver of the Okaloosa Rollers. Everyone from stay-at-home moms to military to teachers find their way to derby.
Weaver first heard of roller derby as she dropped off a friend at a practice.
"I thought she had a death wish," Weaver said with a laugh.
However, the more she learned about it the more fun it sounded to her. She played for a time, but decided she'd rather referee. She enjoys keeping the girls in line.
"There's nothing more frustrating than a win from a dirty team and nothing more satisfying than a win from a clean team," Weaver said.
The more you practice, the more you learn and the safer you become, she added.
"I like them to be monsters on the track, but I want them to be classy monsters within the rules," Weaver said.
Essentially, the "jammer," or scorer, earns a point for each opposing "blocker" she skates past. Of course, the blockers do their best to throw off the jammer.
Touching or hitting with the head, legs, hands and feet is prohibited. Contact with any body part below the thigh or above the shoulders also is a penalty.
"You're nervous as hell when you get out there until that first hit," Weaver said. "And then you're like 'It's on!' "
"Fresh meat," as rookies are called, go through training. Before becoming members they are tested on everything from their knowledge of the rules to falling safely.
At some point, injuries go unfixed, said Brandi "Cheap Shot" Bradley of the Sk8R Dolls. The doctors usually forego fixing anything that will just be reinjured if the player continues derby. Bradley tore her ACL but decided to put off reconstruction because she'd be out for a year recovering.
"We're not here just playing around," she said. "There's a lot of sacrifice."
Bradley has been in roller derby for about six years. The reason she started was simple.
"I don't like to run on the treadmill," she said. "I don't like gyms. I don't do the usual workout stuff."
It became a great way to meet people and become a part of a worldwide community, Bradley said.
"If I needed help anywhere in the world, I could find a local derby girl and she'd come to my rescue," she said.
The Sk8R Dolls and Okaloosa Rollers compete about once a month against other regional teams. Despite the cost — each player pays for her equipment, insurance and dues — any profits from the bouts go to local charities.
This year the Sk8R Dolls have begun dedicating each bout to a different charitable group. This month their money will go to the American Cancer Society.
The group also plans to do service projects during the year.
"We're strong women that are dedicated to the community," Boyd said.
Grabas said the Okaloosa Rollers will look for local charities to donate to after Crestview's Relay for Life. Their fans are the community and they want to reciprocate the support.
"It's great to have the resources to make a difference," Grabas said.

But 94 per cent of us still expect to live happily ever after: Study
The best way for people to stay in a happy relationship is to schedule time together, and stick to it, relationship counsellor Rabbi Aryeh Pamensky says.
Blame it on every fairytale you've ever read. Every Disney movie you've ever watched. When it comes to relationships, most of us are still hopeless romantics with 94 per cent wanting to live happily ever after. At least these are the findings of a recent study of 1,046 adults by Leger Marketing.
Unfortunately, our relationship reality is far from such storybook fantasy. The survey also suggests that almost seven out of 10 people rate their relationships as unfulfilling and eight in 10 people admit their relationship is not their No. 1 priority in their life. Sound familiar? "The problem is life takes over," says Rabbi Aryeh Pamensky, a Toronto-based relationship counsellor.
"We get busy at work or get caught up in mortgage payments. It's easy for us to forget that relationships take work."
Pamensky, who recently launched the relationship tool www.ydivide.com, says the best way to ensure we stay happy in a relationship is to schedule time together, and make sure nothing else gets in the way — including work.
Seems simple, but in the spirit of the holidays, where time is at a premium taken up mainly by holiday parties and hunting down the right gifts, the stress of the season is almost certain to affect a relationship.
Pamesky says the problem with this time of year can be boiled down to three main points: In-laws, financial troubles and using gifts to mean more than they should. "We use gifts to create symbolism for our relationships because we don't have enough to dedicate to the actual relationship," says Pamensky.
To overcome these three main holiday obstacles, he suggests communication. Make a plan together of which relatives you are going to spend time with, and if certain family members drive you crazy, try not to take it out on your partner.
To ensure the holiday season doesn't leave you bankrupt, Pamensky suggests setting a budget beforehand and making sure you both stick to it.
As for the dreaded what to get your partner for the holidays, Pamensky says just ask. "Ask them what they want. Just be open with each other," he says. It's better to get them something they actually want and can use.
But if surprise is what you are really after, Pamensky suggests getting two gifts — the practical gift that you know your partner wants and a surprise romantic gift like a dinner for two or a weekend away.
After all, we could all use a little more real romance in our lives, instead of the fairytale version.

Valley homeless shelter sees all walks of life
While some would associate a homeless shelter with housing panhandlers, that is not the case at one Valley shelter.
"We see a diversity of people," said Irene Agustin with the Central Arizona Shelter Service. "Most people are aware of the homeless on the street, in terms of people asking for money, begging for things, but that's less than 20 percent of the population. The people that we see have become homeless because of the economy."
Agustin said 80 percent of the people in the shelter likely lost their home, job or both and are trying to get back on their feet and came to the shelter looking for help.
"It's really on them. We just help direct them in the right way, but they're the ones going in for their job interviews and going to their appointments," she said.
Agustin said the average length of stay in their adult shelter is 42 days, but they allow a maximum of 180 days. The average family stays for 52 days, but are allowed to stay for 90.
"Some people are really motivated," she said. "They only need a week's stay and get out there and we never hear from them again because they don't need the shelter anymore."
Agustin said the shelter's goal is to get people out as quickly as possible so a complicated situation doesn't have time to get worse.

What Men Say About You When You're Not Around
What Men Say About You When You're Not Around
When you're out of earshot, does your man sing your praises? Talk trash? Complain about your annoying habits? We asked men across the country, and according to them, they do all of the above. Read on for the good, the bad and the surprisingly sweet.SEE MORE
"Sometimes guys will tell other guys something unexpected about their significant other's personality—something they might think is cool—so they get why the guy likes her. Maybe she can name every player on the Yankees or slapped her ex-boyfriend at a bar. Stuff like that."
—Brett, 31, Seattle
"I live in the South. Guys don't talk about this stuff down here. The most you'll get is someone mentioning that another man's wife or girlfriend is attractive—while that man isn't in earshot."
-Noah, 31, Birmingham, Ala.
"When I talk to my family about my girlfriend, I usually talk about how part of the reason our relationship is still so strong is because she is eternally optimistic and positive, which balances out my cynicism and negativity very well. I may never say it to her, but it's nice to have that in your life."
—Phillip, 25, St. Louis
"I hate talking on the phone, like most guys, and my ex used to call and say, 'I know you hate talking on the phone, but I thought I would see how you're doing.' We would then have these lengthy conversations about nothing. I'd complain to my sister all the time about this because it made no sense to me."
—Rob, 30, Boston
"I'll tell my friends about really annoying habits past girlfriends have had. I dated this one girl whose laugh was terrible! I couldn't handle it."
—Jeremy, 31, Houston
"My coworkers and I definitely talk about what to buy for our partners. This inevitably turns into stories about things we've given them that were total bombs. For me, this would be the pinata I bought for my wife's 30th birthday—it was a total disaster. More than anything, we end up laughing at our attempts to be romantic or thoughtful."
—Jon, 30, San Francisco
"About [my fiancée] I always say she's no stress. That I'm lucky to have found a sane one—this is huge. That she isn't insecure and can 'hang' better than me."
—Seth, 32, Colorado Springs, Colo.
"I'll talk to my friends when a girl seems to be pushing for some sort of commitment too fast, like moving in together or saying 'I love you.'"
—Ian, 27, Chicago
"Once my mom asked me how I knew my wife was The One, and I said something to the effect of, 'No matter what happens to me in life, good or bad, she is the first one I want to call and share the news with, to either celebrate or cry with.'"
—Mike, 31, Cleveland
"I continually have conversations about why my girlfriend doesn't understand why, when I haven't seen her for a day or so, I don't want to talk on the phone and review every minor detail of the day. As if this review of normal everyday activity somehow brings us closer together."
—Keegan, 30, Brooklyn, N.Y.

[Sneak Peek] Chrissy & Jim Jones Star In New Reality Show 'Chrissy & Mr. Jones'
Last season, when 'Love & Hip Hop' New York wrapped, we had no idea if we'd ever see rapper Jim Jones and his fiancee Chrissy on television again. Chrissy made no secrets about having issues with how producer Mona Scott Young handled business and expressed that she did not want to be a part of anything that had Mona's name on it.Now, after months of rumors about a spin off show, it's confirmed that the couple will be back on VH1 later this month with their new series 'Chrissy & Mr. Jones.' [How'd they get around Mona putting her hand in the pot for this show is questionable!]
The trailer for the new season has been released and it looks as though it will be full of emotions as Jim and Chrissy prepare for their wedding. Although Chrissy spent most of the last season of L&HH, putting pressure on Jimmy to get a ring, walk down that aisle and to start making babies, the script has somehow flipped. This time around, it's Jim that wants the family life and Chrissy who doesn't think she's ready for a kid or marriage. [She's even spotted packing her bags and on the way out the door in the trailer].
Meanwhile, Chrissy's good friend and 'L&HH' co-star Emily B will also star in the show as Chrissy's confidant who assists her with making sound decisions along the way. This could definitely get interesting:
Check out the 30-second trailer below:
Chrissy and Mr. Jones will premiere on VH1 September 24 at 9:30pm

Google's latest design test for the search results pages and homepage is clever and has big chances of replacing the current one. The big change is that Google adds a navigation menu for its services placed at the top of the page. The list of services includes Gmail, Calendar, Google Docs (the last two are hidden under "more"). Under the search box, you'll see links to other specialized search engines that provide useful results for that search. For "Bush", there are many services listed, including news, news archives and blog search, but for most queries you'll see few services listed (for "Google", you'll see only news search; for "flowers", image search; for "c++", code search, blog search and groups).
Courtesy of Webbsnack, here's how you can test this new design.
Copy this code:
javascript:document.cookie= "PREF=ID=fddb01133a87d314:LD=en:CR=2:TM=1177334998:LM=1177334998:GM=1:S=OOg0FEVzpPplxe9J; path=/; domain=.google.com";void(0);
go to google.com/ncr, paste it in the address bar, press enter, then search for something clever. I absolutely love the new design, but if you don't like it, clear your Google cookie and it'll go away.
Small observation: the number of results should be at the top of the page. I sometimes search for things on Google just to see the number of results (this is my primitive grammar checker).
Update: There's an alternative version for this new layout.
The code for the second design (via Blogoscoped):
javascript:document.cookie= "PREF=ID=9d04e374b01fd77c:TM=1177187296:LM=1178229339:DV=AA:GM=1:IG=3:S=Iiqx5SsQA0p79zvy; path=/; domain=.google.com";void(0);

My brother asked me if he should get it... he's a REAL RE nut... that and Mario Kart are (to a degree) the only games he actually plays. I told him to hold off until it's bargain bin (the German version is censored, too... so meh). But having seen some reviews and videos... I guess it's not even worth that, because it's simply broken.
It's funny, because I think Capcom expected it to do pretty well, because it's a shooter. Although a lot of gamers are dumb as fuck, I don't think they are that ignorant^^

After failing to merge with AT&T, T-Mobile USA now in talks to acquire MetroPCS
MetroPCS is in talks with Deutsche Telekom to merge with T-Mobile USA. While no agreement has been reached, the two companies are in ongoing discussions. This acquisition would add a potential 9 million subscribers to T-Mobile USA's user base. In a press release, the Dallas-based MetroPCS stated that they are in ongoing discussions to merge with the beleaguered fourth-place carrier:
MetroPCS today confirmed that it is in discussions with Deutsche Telekom regarding an agreement to combine T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS. There can be no assurances that any transaction will result from these discussions, and the Company does not intend to comment further unless and until an agreement is reached.
Acquiring MetroPCS would be of great material benefit to Deutsche Telekom. T-Mobile USA has struggled for years against Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint for subscribers. Last year, AT&T attempted to acquire T-Mobile, but withdrew their acquisition bid after the US government raised serious antitrust concerns. The acquisition of MetroPCS would shore up subscriber numbers for T-Mobile. Additionally, MetroPCS already has an active LTE network, which would greatly supplement T-Mobile's own efforts, set to begin their rollout in early 2013.
Unlike T-Mobile's failed merger attempts with AT&T, joining forces with Metro PCS wouldn't give T-Mobile the one other thing they're still sorely lacking -- the iPhone, though it could better position them to try and strike a deal with Apple in the future.
Until then, merger or no merger, when it comes to T-Mobile it'll remain bring-your-own- iPhone.

After failing to merge with AT&T, T-Mobile USA now in talks to acquire MetroPCS
your coment, which I suppose is in reference to T mobile is all relevent. I had T mobile for 10 solid years, since they were voicestream. Not only do they have EXELLENT customer serivce but they have the most inexpensive plans for any of the major 4. It is all relevent as to where you live and where you go. In my geograpical area, which is in Tampa Bay, florida, T mobile has BETTER coverae than Verizon and has the whole area blanketed with coverage. In 10 years, wherever I went on vacation - Great Smokies, Daytona, Charlston, S.C. I NEVER had a problem making or receiving a call or sms with T mobile. I left T obilefor one and onlhy one reason - I wanted an ihone because I was getting bored with blackberry and I did not have the extra money to buy a factory unlocked version from apple to keep T mobile and did nottrust ebay or craigslis with suchan expensive purchase. Although Verizon is also great, I am VERY restricted with them, paying almost$30 more/month for many less text mgs, much less talk time and same amount of data. They are plainly too expensive with their plans. I got unlimited EVERYTHING including 5gb data fromT mobile all for $79/month where I have to pay $109/month for only 500 texts, 900 min of talk and 2gb data. If I ha an extra $549 to spend on a factory unlocked 4S, I would go back to T mobile in a heartbeat even if it meant early temination of my Verizon contract. The oher great thing about Tmobile is they use somthing called UMT network where even in bad coverage areas you can, with no charge, pair your phone with your home wi-fi and make calls and receive data over your home's router. If you haven't experienced T mobile, I could understand the hesitency,but I cannot and will never stop saying great thingsabut them.
Both of these carriers are a joke in regards to coverage and quality in my area... Making a bad thing worse?
Hate Tmobile not having good coverage in my area and hate Verizon for having my bill expensive.

How to update iOS over-the-air using Software Update
When a new version of iOS arrives, the quickest, easiest way to update on-device and over-the-air (OTA) using the Software Update built into Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need to be on Wi-Fi, be plugged in or have more than half your battery life remaining, and you need sufficient storage space left on your device to download the update, but if all those things are true, you'll be up and running the new version of iOS as fast the internet allows. If you have any problems or just want to do it old-school style, you can also update to iOS using iTunes.
How to update iOS on-device
- Tap on Settings from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap on General.
- Towards the top, tap on Software Update.
- Your iPhone or iPad should now check for new software and find that an update is now available.
- Tap on the Download and Install option towards the bottom. You need to be on WiFi in order to download the update or this option will be greyed out.
- Wait for your iPhone or iPad download the new version. This can take some time depending on your internet connection speed.
- Tap on Install to to begin the installation procedure.
Once the install is finished your iPhone or iPad will reboot and you'll have to sign back in, but the update will be yours!

Former Northview teammates reunite on Walleye rosterWritten by Toledo Free Press Staff Writers | | email@example.com
By Danielle Stanton
They were high school teammates at Sylvania Northview and now they are teammates again — this time for the Toledo Walleye.
Alden Hirschfeld and Tyler Pilmore, both forwards on the Walleye roster for the 2013-14 season, said they are excited to be playing professional hockey for their hometown team.
Pilmore, 24, made his pro debut late last season in the ECHL, playing six games with the Wheeling Nailers and two games with Toledo. Hirschfeld, 25, split his season between the American Hockey League's (AHL) Providence Bruins and the ECHL's South Carolina Stingrays.
The two reunited on the ice at Toledo's training camp, which started Oct. 7 at the Huntington Center.
"Obviously, it's really special to be getting to do what you always dreamed of doing and getting to do it in your hometown," Hirschfeld said. "My wife is also from this area so it's nice to get to experience it and enjoy it together. … I'm pretty calm but obviously I'm excited too. I'm anxious to get started playing games."
"It's a little chaotic right now but I'm getting used to everything," Pilmore said. "It's a huge step. … I'm anxious to play for my hometown. … It's nerve-racking but definitely exciting at the same time."
After graduating from Sylvania Northview in 2006, Hirschfeld played junior hockey in Youngstown and then got a scholarship to Miami University in Oxford. Pilmore graduated from Northview in 2008 and went on to play for Ohio University.
Hirschfeld remembers a standout game his freshman year when the Miami Red Hawks lost the national championship game to Boston University in overtime.
"It was crazy," he said. "We were up 3 to 1. We gave up two goals at the end. It was tough."
During his first drill on the first day of practice for Miami his freshman year, Hirschfeld broke his forearm on the goal post. He toughed it out through the practice, he said, because he didn't want the school to think they had recruited some "wimp."
Later, after he couldn't untie his skates, he went for an X-ray and discovered the break. He said it doesn't give him any problems today, but he can still feel where it healed.
Hirschfeld played in 134 games in four seasons with the Redhawks. He scored 35 goals and had 35 assists. He was assistant captain his junior year, captain his senior year and was a member of the 2011 Central Collegiate Hockey Association championship team. In high school, he played in the state championship game and was named Mr. Hockey in 2006, an award for the best high school player in Ohio.
Hirschfeld scored eight goals and eight assists between his time in Providence and South Carolina last season. He played in one game with the AHL's Portland Pirates after his senior year.
"Alden has good size and scoring punch," said Walleye head coach Nick Vitucci in a news release. "He is a very smart hockey player that collected a lot of experience in his first pro season. He has the ability to play at the next level and will perform well here in Toledo."
Pilmore graduated from Ohio University this year with a degree in finance. He said he plans to take his hockey career one year at a time and hopes to use his degree one day. The Walleye signed him this summer after he attended a free agent camp.
Pilmore has been playing hockey since he was 4 years old. He learned to skate at a rink in Adrian and then at Sylvania Tam-O-Shanter. In high school, he won the league playoffs. In college, he was first-team All-American his senior year, second-team All-American his junior year and third-team All-American his sophomore year. He holds records at Ohio University for most points (227) and most assists (161) in the school's history.
Hirschfeld started playing hockey when he was 3. His family told him they knew he had a thing for hockey when he stood staring at a hockey game on television, screaming when someone changed the channel. Soon after, he joined a "mom and me" skating class with his mother at Tam-O-Shanter and then worked with a coach.
Neither player has any injuries, just the usual aches and pains, they said. Hirschfeld's wife, Lauren, is always concerned about his teeth, however, because he doesn't wear a face mask.
"She's always yelling at me to wear a mouth guard," he said.
The Walleye take the ice at Huntington Center on Oct. 12 for a preseason exhibition game against the Kalamazoo Wings. The home opener is Oct. 26 against the Wheeling Nailers.
For tickets, call (419) 725-WALL or go to www.toledowalleye.com. Fox Sports Radio 1230 WCWA broadcasts every Walleye game live.

Google Google today introduced what's essentially a meeting room in a box, a $999 system that provides high-definition teleconferencing for up to 15 people at a time.
Chromebox for meetings will take on business videoconferencing systems costing $10,000 up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to Caesar Sengupta, a Google vice president of product management. The goal, he says, is to provide the next best thing to face-to-face meetings to companies that could never afford pricier systems from the likes of Polycom and Cisco Systems Cisco Systems that are used by large companies.
"We're trying to improve collaboration by making face-to-face communications much more affordable," Sengupta said in an interview after a press event at Google headquarters in Mountain View.
The system, which includes a Chromebox computer with an Intel Intel Core i7 processor, a camera, a speaker-microphone combo, a remote, and software to run the system, is available in the U.S. starting today from Asus, with systems from HP and Dell Dell and sales in other countries–Australia, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, Spain and the U.K.–coming in the next few months. Companies need to provide their own screen, broadband connections, and of course a room.
After the first year, the ongoing support will cost $250 a year per room for the cloud-based service. Users need to have a Gmail or Google+ account to sign in and use the system. The system uses Google Calendar to show scheduled meetings on the screen, though a business needn't be a user of Google Apps to use the system.
Sengupta repeatedly emphasized the ease of use of the system, which uses the Google Hangouts consumer videoconferencing service on the back end. Users need only sign into a meeting by a simple name, rather than dial in using long access codes. Remote users who aren't in an outfitted room can join using Hangouts.
The product grew out of Google's own frustrations in setting up and conducting meetings at its farflung offices around the world. "Most of our meeting rooms have videoconferencing systems in them now," Senguta said. "It's had a transforming impact on our culture. People can meet face to face. It's improved the openness of the culture. So now, it's kind of strange to just call someone up."
The core of the system's hardware is a small, sandwich-sized Chromebox computer, less powerful versions of which were launched just days ago by several manufacturers such as Asus and Samsung.
Rooms outfitted with Chromebox for meetings can connect to others using traditional video conferencing systems with a new tool from Vidyo. Participants available only from phones can join meetings with a conference call number from UberConference.
Several companies have been trying out the system for the last few months, including Costco, Eventbrite, Gilt, Yelp Yelp, and Premier Foods.
Google's enterprise business has been mostly a footnote to its massive advertising business. Some observers even think it's mostly aimed at undercutting Microsoft's business model. But with this and other products, it's clear that Google will continue to offer more business-class products when it sees an opportunity.
Oh, and just for fun, if you've forgotten just how bad audio conferences can be, check out this parody that went viral on YouTube recently:

After crunching numbers and getting partial lists of delinquent taxes, Carroll County officials say they will go after $4 million in back taxes owed to the locality.
During the January meeting of the Carroll County Board of Supervisors, county officials stated they believed the county was owed $10 million in delinquent taxes. After getting more accurate numbers, Supervisor Sam Dickson said the county still should go after what it's lawfully owed.
"During our last meeting we talked about collecting delinquent taxes and we seemed to have started a small war, which wasn't my intent. My intent was to collect some of the taxes," Dickson said during the board's Feb. 11 meeting. "We agreed to add $800,000 in our income budget last year for collecting back taxes, and we have had trouble getting a list to know what we could collect. And of course it is pretty obvious we didn't know how much was out."
Dickson said the county thought it had gone through the process to find a list of delinquent taxes. He them asked County Attorney Jim Cornwell to explain steps the board has taken in conjunction with the Code of Virginia to find those numbers.
Cornwell explained that within 60 days of the end of the Fiscal Year, the treasurer can make out lists of delinquent real estate taxes as well as lists of tangible personal property, machinery and tools, and merchants' capital taxes that are delinquent. In all there is a six-item list the treasurer is supposed to make within 60 days of the end of the Fiscal Year, Cornwell said. After that, Cornwell said a governing body of a county, city or town can request the treasurer to furnish a copy of any of those six items on the list. The governing body may then, as deemed advisable by the treasurer, publish a list of delinquent taxes in a newspaper in the county, city or town of the governing body.
"I am aware that the board of supervisors last year requested the list pursuant to the statute," Cornwell said. "I am not aware that the board has received it."
Dickson asked if the board made those requests in writing. Cornwell said he wasn't sure. He knew the board voted on it, and added he assumed the board also adopted a resolution.
"We adopted a resolution and asked for the list," Dickson said, adding that the board received a partial list of delinquent taxes from 1991-2008 on Feb. 8. "We are still missing the other part. Of the list we got, it is noted on the bottom there was a little more than $290,000 of delinquent tax out."
Dickson said the county also received information from its auditing firm, Robinson, Farmer and Cox, stating the county has outstanding delinquent taxes out in the amount of $3,993,255.
"And that doesn't include the 10 percent penalty or the interest or the administrative fee, so that would put it well over $4 million," Dickson said. "And that is just real estate (taxes)."
Dickson said the auditor also informed the county that delinquent real estate taxes are deemed uncollectable after 20 years. The time frame is shorter on the other taxes, Cornwell added.
"On June 30, 2012, the county wrote off $450,503 uncollectable delinquent tax. I do know that number also has bankruptcies and some stuff like that you can't collect," Dickson said. "And the way Robinson, Farmer and Cox gets these numbers is by historical collection data that they use. So are we reasonably sensible to believe that we have roughly $4 million that we could collect if we have that list? In all honesty we didn't know what we had. Now we do have a little bit better idea."
And that's not including personal property, machinery and tools, and merchants' capital taxes, Cornwell said. With roughly $4 million in delinquent taxes out, Dickson said he knew Cornwell could collect it for the county if the county authorizes him to do so. The county attorney has collected some delinquent taxes for Carroll recently.
"I run groups. I was originally given 30 properties that were basically owned by one developer and I collected that in full. Unfortunately, I don't have that figure. It was done before we started this process," Cornwell said. "Later I was given 54 properties, which I consider to be group one, and I collected $86,736.93 in taxes, penalties and interest. And I was given another group of 58 properties in group two and I collected $131,528.95. And in both of those I have not collected everything out of all those groups. I still have some properties left to sell, but basically…I have collected over $225,000."
Cornwell went on to say the $225,000 was collected in about a year's time. Supervisor Joshua Hendrick wanted to know what happens with the interest and penalties on delinquent taxes.
"All of it goes to the county," Cornwell said. "I charge you nothing for this because I collect my fee out of the property sales or out of the property owners."
Dickson said his whole purpose in bringing up delinquent taxes was to help the county as it prepares for a new budget year.
"It doesn't look like we are going to make the $800,000. We might, we have a good start, hopefully we can, but we are getting ready to start another one. But it gives us an idea of how much is out there and how much we think we can collect," Dickson said. "We are not looking at this past year or the year before. We go down farther than that once we start collecting, so that is the list we are looking for. Also, if anyone has taxes that are due, the treasurer does work out payment plans."
Cornwell works out payment plans, too. He said in the seven jurisdictions he represents, he has only sold two or three houses in the past 10 years that were occupied. Almost all of the properties he has sold have been rental or vacant properties.
"Most of the properties I have sold, taxes have been owed on it for five years or more as I work through my list trying to keep them from going off the 20 years. And we accept payment plans, and I will work out things," Cornwell said. "Many times we reduce our fees in order to get the money collected. It is a collection practice. We try to keep it rolling, and we try to work with the property owner."
Cornwell said if everybody pays their taxes, everybody pays less. Dickson said that was the whole point. Even if the county could collect half of the delinquent taxes, that would be $2 million that could be used to pay for half of a new HVAC system for the schools.
"It could be a lot of things we could do. And I think it is part of our responsibility to try to collect this. We are responsible for it and if you are going to put it in your budget you need to be able to collect it," Dickson said. "We are not trying to get in a battle in the paper of who's right or who's wrong. It's just that we need the information in order to collect our tax, to keep the tax levy as low as possible. That is our goal."
