The Testimony of Four Tires
I am a simple guy who learns lessons from simple situations. Last week, I had to buy new tires for my car. I had a choice of tires, but, trying to be frugal, I went with the cheaper set. The set I really wanted cost $300 more than I had budgeted, but being a new church […] [Read More]
Back to School Supplies
It's that time of year again! Time to take the kids shopping for school supplies. I am blessed to have a wife that actually enjoys taking our kids to get what they need. She makes sure they have paper, pencils, folders, and everything on the provided lists. All of these things are important, I mean, what […] [Read More]
The Wayback Machine
Anyone remember the old cartoon featuring the talking dog Mr. Peabody and his sidekick Sherman? Mr. Peabody invented the Wayback Machine, a time transporter that sent the two characters on adventures that always ended with an object lesson. Imagine being able to hop into a machine, set a time and date and find yourself able […] [Read More]
I Think I Can Take Tyson!
November 9, 1996. Billed as the fight of the century, and after years of anticipation, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield finally stepped into the ring as opponents. I sat in front of the television alongside several deacons from the church I attended. In a room full of men, trash talking abounded. Half the men believed […] [Read More]

Courage For The Journey
Last year I did a sermon series using the characters from the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy represented the lost who needed to find their way home (Luke 15), the scarecrow represented those who needed a renewed mind (Romans 12:1-2), the Tin Man represented those who needed a change of heart (Psalm 51:10) and of course, the Lion needed […] [Read More]
A Little Anointing Will Do
One of the most beloved passages of scriptures found in the Bible is Psalm 23. It serves as a testimony from David as he reflects on how the Lord has been his shepherd, guiding him through the obstacles and opportunities of life. At one point, it seems that David shifts from using the metaphor of being […] [Read More]
Anthony Cobbs: The Leadership Theory of Mama
As a Doctoral student, I have learned several theories of leadership. Writings from Burns and Bass, Greenleaf and Kellerman are part of my library now. Prior to these classes, I would have thought Burns and Bass was a law firm, but now I am developing my own philosophy of true leadership. I am learning the academic side of it, […] [Read More]
F.E.A.R. Factor
Fear is real. There are hundreds of diagnosed "phobias" that people struggle with on a daily basis. Some people suffer from claustrophobia, the fear of closed in or tight places. Others suffer from arachnophobia, the fear of spiders, while some even suffer from agoraphobia, the fear of being outside, in open places. Those may be […] [Read More]
The Chicken Exit
Anyone who knows me is aware that I absolutely hate rollercoasters.

PEOPLE FOR THE 1000th TIME, ANYONE WITH 'TROLL' IN THEIR NAME IS NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY, NO MATTER HOW SINCERE HE/SHE APPEARS TO BE.
If you don't know, an internet troll is a person that posts ridiculous statements and comments online to get a rise out of people. A troll's entire goal is to get people like DJM to take their ridiculous comments seriously, and the more angry that person becomes the more the troll will continue to provoke them with their nonsense. If you see someone on here commenting and they have "troll" in their name, for the love of God fight your instinct to correct them or "set them right" or whatever it is you think you're doing and just let it go. The troll needs attention to live and if it has none it will go someplace else to find it.
This is good news, hope it keeps going right on down too
When I first posted that it said he was seriously injured, but it was later updated
Don't think he made it actually..condolencses to the family
I agree amlive, it sounds like a drug deal gone wrong, and the dog walking story was the guys pathetic explanation to tell the police why he was out that late at night. Who just walks around at that time of night carrying $100?
This photo is much better, thank you for changing it
Terrible photo
What a provocative headline lol
Haha now there is a good comment righta2! I especially like your reading advice haha
Please fix the formatting on this article so we can read the actual story thanks!
Haha good one wackywalrus
How about just don't judge people period? Funny concept that
I appreciate your input hacctin, but I stand by my comment. "Don�t judge a man until you�ve walked a mile in his shoes." That about sums it up for me
"Anyone BLACK running or walking around with or WITHOUT the same build should have been stopped at least and questioned."
Fixed that for you

The Cupcakery to Become the Cup
Categories: Desserts & Sweets, Restaurant News & Reviews
|Image courtesy the Cupcakery/Cup
The new name will coincide with the opening of a new shop in Springfield, Missouri. This joins the original Central West End location as well as locations in Edwardsville, Illinois, and Knoxville, Tennessee.
I was quite fond of the Cupcakery when I reviewed it in 2007. In addition, it won Best Bakery in the RFT Best of St. Louis 2007 and Best Cupcakes in 2008. The lemon-drop cupcake -- which, sadly, is not always available -- is divine.

Sugar Rush: Pumpkin Brownies at Fat Witch Bakery
Your daily dose of something sweet.
I spotted this Pumpkin Brownie ($3) at Fat Witch Bakery inside Chelsea Market one afternoon. Unlike most their brownies, this seasonal creation features only a sliver of the bakery's signature buttery chocolate brownie under a thick layer of pumpkin cake. The sweet and soft cake is cinnamony and moist, gently spiced. It's more akin to a pumpkin cake with only a whisper of chocolate, than it is to our general understanding of a brownie. Regardless, it's certainly a sweet that's easy to love. Take note, 5:00-7:00pm on weekdays are "witching hours"—half off all unwrapped brownies!

Fantastic Holiday Park
02 Aug 2011
Visited with: Infant, Child
We were really impressed with the park. It is set in really lovely surroundings and is safe for the children to play/ride around on their bikes. The facilities on the park are excellent. All of the staff without exception were really friendly. We didn't need to use it but we did like the idea of having 24 hour security on site. The park is walking distance to Hunstanton itself so once we were there we didn't need to use the car at all. Would strongly recommend this park to anybody.

Below is the poem entitled Dusk's Sacred Shawl which was written by poet
Johnson-Saunders. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Rhonda Johnson-Saunders
Please do not convince me of my ignorance or naivety.
Naive to the cynic, the sun sets on my faith and all my eyes see.
Eyes see bright visions of dusk's inner beauty wrapped in sacred shawl.
The sacred shawled in heavenly grace, never shall cold nights fall.
Cold nights fall away, no threatening winds; souls laud in faith's armor.
Silver armor of faith lifts me at dusk in wafting spiritual myrhh.
The aroma of myrhh resonates from Eden's blooming floral praise.
Of flowering praise, a melody sings the poet's love on sunlit days.
These sunny days sweeten lives with hope christened in dusky starlight,
Starlight reflects love and an aura of truth, repelling darkest plights.
Plights from our darkest earthly nights are left buried in ancient dirt;
dirt falls from the ancient in sacred shawl, convinced they shall never hurt.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Star Troian Bellisario's Uber-Trendy Trench – Hot or Not?
Spencer (Troian Bellisario) is known for her preppy outfits on Pretty Little Liars but the actress-behind-the-liar, Troian, has a much hipper sense of style.
Troian showed off her decidedly un-Spencer-like personal style when she attended ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas Winter Wonderland in New York City earlier this week. The actress wore a statement trench coat with black leather sleeves and some faux-distressed leather riding boots.
The coat looks a lot like this $1,995.00 trench coat by Burberry, although the coat is a different color and the sleeves are slightly different. The leather-sleeve look is a big hit for coats this season, popping up on black coats in Zara and collar-less navy blue versions for DKNY.
What do you think of Troian's leather-sleeve trench coat? Vote in our poll below.

Adjusting volume using applescript?
Hey everyone;
Ok, ill start of by saying i'm a complete newb when it comes to scripting using applescript. I want a script, or something, that will turn my my volume to zero whenever I turn my mac off.
Is this anything to do with the startup chime?
I can't write Applescripts but you would need one for shutdown and another for startup. Another alternative is to have a plug in the headphone jack which would keep your MacBook Pro quiet at startup.
I'm not sure how to get it the script to run on shut down so this script sets the volume to mute then starts the shut down process.
set volume with output muted
To mute the volume during shutdown you could try this method which works on my G4 tower. I don't have the time to test it on my Intel right now.
Unix has special scripts that get executed during startup and shutdown. As a safeguard the system also looks for custom 'local' scripts named rc.local and rc.shutdown.local in the Unix directory /etc.
In the shutdown script place
osascript -e "set volume with output muted"
In the startup script place
osascript -e "set volume without output muted"
That startup script will restore your volume to what it was before you muted on shutdown, but after the startup chime would have sounded. In other words, this gets you silent startups.
You'll need sudo (admin) privilege to create or alter the files. Search the forums if you don't know what that is.

Posted by Aniek under News & Rumors with No Comments
In issue 215 of Total Film magazine, Scarlett Johansson tells us that she was initially unsure about making Avengers Assemble because it seemed like such a "ridiculous" idea.
Inside the issue – which is available for just £1.99 on your iPad – Johansson reveals that she was initially sceptical about Marvel's grand plan after making Iron Man 2.
"The idea of it is ridiculous!" she says. "When they told me that was the next step, I said, 'Oh, no! That is a disaster! You saw Thor, you saw Captain America, you saw Iron Man, those things don't go together!'"
Since starring in the third highest-grossing film of all time (Avengers, ahead of this year's Captain America: The Winter Soldier), she's come around.
Revealing that she's expecting the script for Avengers: Age Of Ultron "any day now", she promises "when it comes you can guarantee it'll be read in 25 minutes".
Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens on 28 March 2014.

French firm Mecachrome is to produce titanium-aluminide blades for the new CFM International Leap engines being designed for the Airbus A320neo, Boeing 737 Max and Comac C919.
The blades will feature on the low-pressure turbine of the Leap powerplant. Safran Group says propulsion specialist Snecma has signed a corresponding agreement with Mecachrome for the work.
Use of titanium aluminide, a titanium-aluminium alloy, will halve the weight of nickel-based blades which have previously been used in the turbines, it adds.
"This alloy will be used for the first time in the world on a single-aisle commercial jet," states Safran.
Snecma and Mecachrome have developed a production centre at Mecachrome's Sablé-sur-Sarthe plant. Series production will commence in 2015 and the centre will create a blade every 3min by 2019, adds Snecma.

A method and system is provided for selectively directing calls to wireless units in an integrated wireline and wireless communication system as part of a wireless extension service. When a call is forwarded by a wireline switch, the receiving wireless access manager determines whether the intended wireless subscriber unit is being serviced by a different access manager. If so, the call is automatically transferred using a high speed ATM inter-access manager communication line. Efficiency is therefore increased because the originating wireline switch does not need to set up an interoffice trunk line to accomplish the necessary call routing.
1. In a communication system having a wireline network linked to a wireless network, a system for selectively directing call traffic originating from the wireline network to a mobile transceiver unit associated with a particular wireline termination unit comprising:
a wireline switch assigned to handle calls to and from the subscriber wireline termination unit;
a wireless unit location register for maintaining a first database for each of a plurality of geographic coverage areas containing information indicative of mobile transceiver unit registration status and location;
an access manager located within each of the plurality of geographic coverage areas and arranged to communicate with the wireless unit location register for managing mobility of mobile transceiver units within the system, each of the access managers being linked by an inter-access manager communication line, wherein each wireline switch is directly linked to an access managers located in a corresponding geographic area, with each access manager arranged to determine whether an incoming call from the wireline switch is intended for a mobile transceiver unit currently being serviced by a different access manager, and automatically transferring the call to the serving access manager via the inter-access manager communication line.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the serving access manager is arranged to forward the transferred call to the intended mobile transceiver unit.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the inter-access manager communication line comprises a high speed ATM line.
4. The system of claim 3 wherein the high speed ATM line comprises an IS-634 protocol link.
The present invention relates generally relates to Generic C wireline and wireless interfaced communication systems, and more particularly to a call delivery routine for wireless unit extension calls which improves overall routing efficiency.
Generally, communication systems have been introduced which integrate wireless communication networks, such as a personal communication system (PCS), with existing wireline communication networks. In such systems, structure is provided for interfacing the capabilities of a land line telephone system with a radio link communications system, and to control the provision of private network service features for users of both radio link systems and land line systems. Call processing data associated with each subscriber is stored in a central service control point, or database, within the network. Call routing to either a land line or a wireless unit is controlled by a mobile controller network element in conjunction with the central database. Known systems can typically support all the services unique to each of the wireline telephone network and the wireless network using a single directory number and a central database.
However, efficiency in call routing for such integrated systems is directly dependent upon whether the wireline class 5 switch has an established access connection to an access manager or controller to which a destination wireless unit is currently registered. More specifically, because a single directory number is employed in known systems, calls to a wireless subscriber are routed to an associated wireline switch. The problem encountered with such arrangements is that if the associated wireline does not have an access connection to an access controller currently serving the intended wireless subscriber, an interoffice call over interoffice trunk lines must be set up to forward the call to a wireline switch which does have access to the serving access controller. Setting up of such an interoffice call adds delay to the call routing process, thereby decreasing system efficiency. In addition, since wireless systems typically incur additional cost charges for connecting wireline switches and trunk lines to route calls, the use of interoffice trunk lines to route calls also adds to a wireless system's operational costs.
Therefore, a needs exists for a call routing arrangement which supports wireless extension in an integrated wireline and wireless communication system which reduces the need for interoffice calls.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for supporting wireless service extension in an integrated wireline and wireless communication system which increases efficiency and reduces use of wireline resources by eliminating the need to use interoffice trunk lines to forward calls to wireless units currently being served by an access manager not connected to a transferring wireline switch.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method and system for supporting wireless service extension in an integrated wireline and wireless communication system which increases efficiency by directly transferring calls to wireless units using high speed access manager-to-access manager communication links.
In carrying out the above objects and other objects, the present invention provides a method and system for selectively directing call traffic originating from the wireline network to a mobile transceiver unit associated with a particular wireline termination unit via a wireless extension service. The present invention provides a wireline switch assigned to handle calls to and from the subscriber wireline termination unit, and a wireless unit location register for maintaining a database for each of a plurality of geographic coverage areas. The database contains information indicative of mobile transceiver unit registration status and location. An access manager is located within each of the plurality of geographic coverage areas and arranged to communicate with the wireless unit location register for managing mobility of mobile transceiver units within the system. Each of the access manager s is linked by an inter-access manager communication line. In addition, each wireline switch is directly linked to an access manager located in a corresponding geographic area. Each access manager is arranged to determine whether an incoming call from the wireline switch is intended for a mobile transceiver unit currently being serviced by a different access manager, and automatically transferring the call to the serving access manager via the inter-access manager communication line. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the inter-access manager communication line is implemented in the form of a high speed ATM line.
The above objects and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention are readily apparent from the following detailed description of the best mode for carrying out the invention when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a communication system in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation showing the connection of a wireline central office to an access manager in a wireless network; and
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram representing a overall operation of the present invention.
FIG. 1 illustrates a communications system 10 in accordance with the present invention. More specifically, communication system 10 is an integrated wireline and wireless system, i.e., a "Generic C" architecture, having a plurality of wireline class 5 switching central offices (CO) 12(a) through 12(n) connected to a plurality of base stations 14(a)-14(n) of a wireless network. Each respective base station 14 serves a corresponding set of subscriber mobile terminal units 16. The use of a Generic C architecture advantageously allows calls to a wireless subscriber without the need for a mobile switching center.
A set of access managers (AM) 18(a)-18(n) are provided for management of base station radio functions and switch connections to a given base station. Each CO 12 is associated with a respective AM via an appropriate access connection. The individual AMs 18 are linked together for inter-AM and hand-off communication using a high speed asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) protocol line 20, such as an IS-634 protocol.
The COs interface with a public switched telephone network (PSTN) and are set up to service individual mobile terminal units via the use of a single unique directory number. Incoming calls from the PSTN are thus routed to an assigned class 5 CO, which then seeks to route the incoming call to its corresponding link AM via the Generic C interface. As shown in FIG. 1, COs 12 are geographically distributed and linked only to a designated AM. Communications between different COs are supported via conventional interoffice trunk lines 22.
FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary embodiment showing the communication link between a CO and its linked AM. More specifically, CO 12 forms one of the network elements in the wireline network. The CO includes a class 5 type switching system 24 which interfaces with the PSTN. In addition, other network elements include Signaling Transfer Points (STPs) 26 and Service Control Point (SCP) databases 28. Switching system 24 is arranged in accordance to perform call processing on calls that originate, tandem or terminate at assigned sites. STPs 26 are used to facilitate call and feature control signal routing between wireline switching systems 24 and external SCP databases 28, as well as a plurality of wireline terminal units (not shown). Common Channel Signaling System No.7 protocol (SS7) is employed in the wireline network to support communication of signaling information relating to call setup, control, management and maintenance and Inter-network system signaling between the wireline and mobile network systems.
The mobile network includes a wireless location register 30 (a Home Location Register/Visitor Location Register (VLR/HLR)), and a plurality of wireless subscriber mobile terminal units 32. The functions performed by wireless location register 30 may be carried out either within a mobile switching system (particularly if such an element is employed in the wireless network), or external thereto as shown. Together, AM 18 and wireless location register 30 are responsible for management and processing of calls to and from mobile terminal units 32 registered in the geographic zone of coverage. Except as described below, the basic operations of all the above components are generally known to one skilled in the art. In general, AM 18 controls call delivery within the mobile network for mobile-to-mobile calls, as well as between the mobile network and the wireline network for wireline-to-mobile and mobile-to-wireline calls. AM 18 can be integrated with an access controller (AC), and is connected to VLR/HLR 30 to manage mobility of wireless units throughout the wireless network.
Generally, wireless components can communicate using IS-41 Mobile Application Part (MAP) protocols operating over SS7 networks. IS-41 data trunks are packet switched networks, having either X.25 or SS7 type transport options.
In operation, when AM 18 receives a call from the wireline network which is directed to a wireless unit 32, the AC deciphers the telephone number and alerts an appropriate base station (BS) 34 via its BSC to page the corresponding wireless unit 32. Similarly, when wireless unit 32 places a call, AM 18 accepts the dialing data from the BSC and dials the desired number for transmission to wireline network switch 24. The AM also processes mobile registration status data received from a BSC, switches calls to other cells via high speed line 20, processes diagnostic information, and compiles mobile billing statistics.
The wireless location register operates as master database for storing data related to each mobile subscriber, such as subscriber profile and mobility information together with relevant permanent data, such as access capabilities and subscriber services. In addition, as described below, the wireless location register provides AM 18 with information regarding the location and status of a mobile termination unit to allow incoming calls to be routed immediately thereto. Thus, AM 18, along with BSC 34, and HLR/VLR 30, operates to support basic wireless network operations such as registration, authentication, and call hand off between base stations.
FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating the process for CO access to multiple AMs in accordance with the present invention. As denoted at block 100, when an incoming call is received from the PSTN, the call is forwarded to the assigned AM. In response, at block 102 the receiving AM will then determine from its corresponding HLR/VLR whether the intended mobile termination unit is presently registered in that AMs assigned zone. If so, the call is forwarded at block 104 to the linked base station for forwarding to the mobile termination unit as is well understood in the art.
However, if the mobile termination unit is determined through its registrations status as not being served in the receiving AM's assigned zone, the receiving AM will automatically determine at block 106 which AM is currently serving the intended mobile termination, and forward the call to that AM over high speed ATM link 20 at block 108. When the serving AM receives the call via the high speed ATM link, the call is processed and forwarded to the appropriate base station for communication to the intended mobile termination unit as denoted at block 110.
Thus, the communication system in accordance with the present invention eliminates the need for COs to transfer calls to another CO via the interoffice trunks when the originating CO does not have access rights to the serving AM. This in turn increases efficiency in call delivery and routing by eliminating the need for set up time on the interoffice trunk line.
While embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it is not intended that these embodiments illustrate and describe all possible forms of the invention. Rather, the words used in the specification are words of description rather than limitation, and it is understood that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The sticky problem blighting our city's streets
Posted: December 01, 2012|
CHEWING gum on pavements is proving to be what people in the city loathe the most following the launch of our Clean Up Derby campaign.
Since we launched the campaign on Monday, readers have been complaining in their droves about areas of the city which are particularly litter-strewn, or fly-tipping hotspots.
But chewing gum stuck to city centre pavements is high up on people's lists of pet hates.
Brenda Stevenson of Moor End, Spondon, said that chewing gum should be taxed.
She said: "The people that don't chew gum shouldn't have to pay for it to be cleaned off the streets. I think it should be taxed and some of that money should go to cleaning it off.
"People just chuck it down as if they expect you to be following them with a dust pan and brush."
Maria Woolley, 64, of Firs Crescent, Allestree, said: "I hate to see the pavements covered in chewing gum. They've put all these nice pavements down and people just ruin them with their gum. It's a real shame."
Sarah Floate, 45, who visits Derby from Nottingham, said when she is having a cigarette she ensures she is standing next to a bin.
She said: "People always complain about smokers but no one ever confronts people who drop gum. You see it scattered all around bins. People can be so lazy."
Charlie King, 18, from Alvaston, said she thought it was unhygienic.
She said: "I bet you can catch all kinds of diseases from it. I have ruined pairs of jeans from sitting on bits of old chewing gum on benches. It's disgusting."
Ian Wheatley, head of grounds maintenance and cleaning at Derby City Council, said that it posed a sticky issue for the council's teams.
He said: "We have a member of staff who spends around 25 hours each week dedicated to gum removal using equipment which softens and removes the gum with steam.We have not had any public campaigns specifically aimed at the problem, however we do provide around 140 litter bins in the city centre for people to use to dispose of their gum."

|By Kian Terani | September 15, 2012 | Comments
The opening video runs and we are welcomed to the show. Today we are going to visit the home-countries of our favorite WWE Superstars. Also, we have tag team action: R-Truth & Kofi vs. Primo & Epico.
Saturday Morning Spotlight: Our first stop on our world tour is Johannesburg, South Africa; the home of the high-flying Justin Gabriel. A video package of Gabriel's highlights is shown. Johannesburg is nearly 8,000 miles from NYC: a 17 hour flight, one of the longest in the world, "so make you sure pack a backpack full of snacks just like Justin Gabriel did on a recent trip back home." A video is shown of Gabriel at various places in Cape Town. He says since he became a WWE Superstar, he hadn't been home in 3 years. He says WWE has a huge following there. Gabriel says his town is as big as half of Texas and is very diverse: Miami crossed with Colorado. Gabriel's father was a wrestler and a promoter and died when Gabriel was 18. We see childhood pictures of Gabriel and he says his mom is his biggest fan.
-The first "W" in WWE stands for "world" for a very good reason. "Hang on real tight because we are going to take you on a supersonic trip around the globe."
Around the World in 40 Superstars: We start in South Africa and Justin Gabriel, then go to West Africa and Kofi. Next we go to East Africa and Kamala. Then we take a 3300 mile flight to India: the home of The Great Khali. The pace of the video montage quickens and we see Superstars like Yoshi Tatsu, the Bushwackers, Nathan Jones, Haku, Superfly, Rikishi, Giant Gonzales. We go to Mexico and Del Rio, America and Lex Luger, Hulk Hogan, Sgt. Slaughter, Randy Savage, Cena, and Hacksaw. Next up is Canada with Bret Hart, Chris Jericho, etc. Sheamus is shown along with the late, great Andre the Giant, who was from France. They show a double-take of Ivan Putski saying "Polish power!" and the voice-over guy says that is the "best superhero catchphrase ever!" He says Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff were from Russia-Ran. "Last but certainly not least, turn off the GPS, it won't do us any good now because we've finally reached Parts Unknown: Ultimate Warrior, Papa Shango, Demolition, Doink, and the Boogeyman. We go to commercial.
R-Truth & Kofi vs. Epico & Primo
Santino is on commentary. Kofi hits some armdrags on Primo, which he comically sells. Truth yells, "I want some!" and tags in. They hit a double back bodydrop on Primo. Truth gets 2. Epico tags in and gets an armdrag. Truth stops the action and he and Kofi spin around in unison, then Truth bends over and asks Little Jimmy something. Epico gets excited at the presence of Little Jimmy and motions for Primo to join them in the ring; Kofi comes in too. Primo & Epico get on one knee to talk to Little Jimmy. Epico wants to be friends with him also but Truth says it's his Little Jimmy. The ref bends down as says Little Jimmy said, "No!" Epico & Primo get up and drive their opponents into the adjacent corners. Kofi & Truth reverse Irish Whips and hit crossbodies on their opposite opponents. Epico & Primo roll out of the ring as Truth & Kofi do the Kid 'N Play foot dance in the ring. We go to commercial.
Sheamus gives a PSA about not trying this at home.
We're back and Truth does some break-dancing and hits a hiptoss on Epico. Epico applies what Santino calls the "Abominal Stretch." Truth powers out but gets put in a bearhug by "Ecipo." Truth squeezes Epico's ears to escape. Both men tag their partners and Kofi flies in for a flurry of offense. The camera keeps missing spots by showing Santino & Josh Mathews at ringside throughout the whole match, probably due to the nature of the show. Kofi drops a Boom Drop but misses with Trouble in Paradise and the camera misses what happens next. We see Primo come in to break the count. Truth takes care of Primo on the outside. Kofi hits a crossbody from the top and gets the pin on Epico.
Winners by pin: Kofi & R-Truth
"We'll be back in a hot-tub skip and a jump."
We see footage of WWE's recent tour of the Far East. We see mainly footage of fans dressed up as WWE Superstars.
"Next week we go from international to intercontinental as we explore the historic legacy of the Intercontinental Championship and spend time with it's current holder, the Miz. It should be, in a word, AWESOME!"
But first Antonio Cesaro teaches us to say "Welcome back to school" in 5 different languages. He says even we can learn another language and now it's time for us to hit the books.
The voice-over guy signs off with "Arrivederci."

The Question Is: How Lost Was Zebulon Pike?
In a strange message to the intriguing General Wilkinson, the soldier-explorer seemed to predict his own geographical befuddlement and his capture by the Spanish.
February 1965 | Volume 16, Issue 2
Almost certainly Pike was not a party to the Aaron Burr movement. His vigorous denials, upon returning from the West, seem to have sprung from a genuine ignorance of the Burr-Wilkinson plan. There is no evidence that he knew of the conspiracy until he read of it in the Gacetas de Mexico while in that country.
It is not quite accurate to say that Pike planned to be "captured" by the Spanish. Perhaps it is better to say that he hoped to fall in with a Spanish party and get a chance to visit Santa Fe. Long before he had arrived in the area, word had somehow reached Chihuahua that his expedition was on the way. It is quite possible that Wilkinson himself originated the message. (On the other hand, the Spanish were also quick to learn of the Lewis and Clark expedition and of an abortive American exploration up the Red River, during the same period. Salcedo's orders were to terminate all such expeditions into disputed territory.) It would have been most ingenuous of Pike to suppose that Dr. Robinson's visit to Santa Fe would not alert the Spanish garrison there. Yet it does not seem likely that he foresaw his own detention and the loss of his papers.
Besides the lingering suspicion that Pike was in league with Burr and Wilkinson, another charge has lived on—the charge that Pike was never really lost. Historians who build too solidly upon Pike's letter to Wilkinson written in July, 1806, (quoted on page 14) have a difficult task. They must show that Pike—who travelled with defective maps and no true mental image of western geography—conducted an elaborate campaign to convince the Spanish that he was lost. According to this theory, we must believe that Pike knew there was no Red River as far west as the Rockies, despite the information he had from such authorities as Baron von Humboldt; that when he and his men were freezing and starving in the Wet Mountain Valley he was engaging in deliberate subterfuge; and that when he was confronted by a Spanish officer and was told he was encamped on the west side of the Rio Grande, his plea of ignorance was a long-planned lie. Given the faulty knowledge of the West that Pike possessed, the thing is impossible.
Pike published his letter to Wilkinson (with that significant deletion) for all the world to see. To him it was not a damaging letter, for it only projected a plan to pretend he was lost if the need should arise. When the time came he actually was lost. And, to one who had undergone those awful days along the base of the Sangre de Cristos, the difference was substantial. Apparently Pike thought that the reading public would believe so, too.
Among the papers the Spanish took from Pike was a notebook filled with sketch maps, accompanied by his faithfully made tables of course and distance. These remained in the archives of Mexico for a century before their rediscovery in 1907; later representations by the American government caused them to be transferred to the National Archives in Washington. The documents show the attempt of an earnest and brave but sometimes inept explorer to make a useful record of his travels. When he found that he had mistaken the Arkansas for the Red River, he corrected his maps and tables. Later, when he learned from the Spanish that he was again mistaken, he deleted in one instance the words "Red River" and wrote in "Rio del Nord."
Pike's erratic ramblings, his journal entries, and the evidence revealed by his manuscript maps leave little doubt that he was truly lost—not once, but twice.
While Pike was encamped at the Pawnee village, early in the course of the expedition, word reached him that Meriwether Lewis and William Clark had returned safely from their journey to the Pacific. They had gone up the Missouri, crossed the Rockies, and descended the Columbia. In Pike's correspondence he referred often to Lewis and Clark, sometimes jealously, for he ardently hoped to rank with them as an explorer. His achievement does not quite measure up to theirs, although there is no doubt that he was their equal in courage and endurance. Together, the two undertakings were of vital importance, representing the first extensive probing of the new Louisiana Purchase. Pike's An Account of Expeditions to the Sources of the Mississippi, and Through the Western Parts of Louisiana , published in Philadelphia in 1810, was rich in information and became required reading for those whose eyes were turned to the new lands. Along with his "Dam'd set of Rascels," Pike had found a place high on the roster of notable explorers who first revealed the American West.

Antonio Salandra (August 13, 1853 – December 9, 1931) was a conservative Italian politician who served as the 33rd Prime Minister of Italy between 1914 and 1916. He graduated from the University of Naples in 1875 and then became instructor and later professor of administrative law at the University of Rome.
Born in Troia (Province of Foggia, Apulia), Salandra was brought into the national cabinet upon the fall of the government of Giovanni Giolitti, as the choice of Giolitti himself, who still commanded the support of most Italian parliamentarians. However, he soon fell out with Giolitti over the question of Italian participation in World War I. While Giolitti supported neutrality, Salandra and his foreign minister, Sidney Sonnino, supported intervention on the side of the Allies, and secured Italy's entrance into the war despite the opposition of the majority in parliament. Salandra had expected that Italy's entrance on the allied side would bring the war to a quick solution, but in fact it changed little, and Italy's first year in the war was marked by only very limited success. Following the success of an Austrian offensive from the Trentino in the spring of 1916, Salandra was forced to resign.
After World War I, Salandra moved further to the right, and supported Mussolini's accession to power in 1922. Nine years later he died in Rome.
He is author of a considerable number of works on economics, finance, history, law, and politics (New International Encyclopedia). These include:
- Tratto della giustizia amministrativo (1904)
- La politica nazionale e il partito liberale (1912)
- Lezioni di diritto amministrativo (two volumes, 1912)
- Politica e legislazione : saggi, raccolti da Giustino Fortunato (1915)
- Il discorso contro la malafede tedesca (1915)

So last night I am over at a girls house who I just started dating. This was only my second time being at her house and around her folks. Well shortly after I arrived, while I was talking with her and her mother fellow redszoner moundpatrol starts the following conversation via text message:
moundpatrol: Clayton just signed for 1.5 mil
kbrake: With who?
moundpatrol: friggin Reds
At this point Kbrake gets up and goes outside. I was not rude about it but I'm sure it was obvious I was not very happy. So I storm out front and call moundpatrol
moundpatrol: Hey man
kbrake: Are you (very bad word that would get me banned from Redszone) kidding me?
moundpatrol: (with so much laughter I could barely understand him) just kidding it was with the Blue Jays
kbrake: Your an (another very bad word that would get me in trouble), thats not even funny. I will talk to you later. (hang up)
Now is it just me or should there be some things that are not to be joked about when it comes to the Reds? For me the thought of another season with Royce Clayton around is one of them.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This installment of Illustrator Insider Training shows an expert's approach to color choice and control in Illustrator. Mordy Golding guides experienced designers and artists through what he sees are the three stages of applying color to artwork: creation, inspiration, and editing. The course also shows how to build art in a way that allows artists to make changes quickly and how to take advantage of the newer features that have been added to Illustrator over the recent versions.
We've spent a lot of time talking about color throughout this title, yet I would be remiss if I wouldn't tell you about this incredible plug-in for Illustrator called Phantasm CS. It's created by a company called Astute Graphics and you could actually find that more information about it at astutegraphics.com. It basically continues the conversation about everything that we have discussed about color inside of Illustrator. If you want to go to the next level and, for example, you want actually make changes to images that have been embedded inside of Illustrator, or you want make adjustments to like levels and curves the same way that you might do them inside of Photoshop, you'll definitely want to take a look at this plug-in.
In fact, I will head over to Illustrator here for just a moment to show you a few of these really cool features. For example, if I take, let's say, just a Shape, for example, just an ellipse here and draw a circle on my artboard, I am going to fill this with maybe a gradient here, but get rid of the stroke jeer; we don't need the stroke on this, and a feature that I know a lot of people always look for is a way to actually turn this into some kind of a halftone. If I go to the Effect menu at the bottom here, since I have the Phantasm CS plug-in installed, I will see an option here for Halftone, and I get all these incredible options that I can then apply.
For example, I could choose a Shape for that halftone, be it a circle or maybe a square or a line and I could actually mess with the size of those circles, for example, maybe scale it up 200% so I get a bigger dot, and I can adjust many of these settings here as well. Let me cancel out of this for a second because I want to show you that if you're familiar with levels or curve adjustments that you can make inside of Photoshop, you can now do them here inside of Illustrator as well and it even works images that you have embedded into your document. I will go to the Effect menu, I will choose Phantasm CS and I will choose this option here called Levels.
This looks just the way you might find it inside of Photoshop where I can make these adjustments right here and see them happening on my screen. If I click Cancel, I will show you, I can also do the same thing using Curves instead of Levels. I'll go to here and choose Curves and again, if I am familiar with seeing this inside of Photoshop, I can now apply these settings here directly inside of Illustrator. This really is just the tip of the iceberg. There is a tremendous amount of rich features and functions that you can apply especially in the realm of color and I would tell that this applies to print production also.
For example, these plug-ins also allow you to swap in colors and to produce sophisticated color separations. So if any of that sounds somewhat interesting you, head over to astutegraphics.com and definitely check out Phantasm CS.

The Vampire Diaries
Candice Accola on Whether Caroline Will Be Jealous of Matt's Feelings For Elena on The Vampire Diaries
Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert) has already warned that the Season 3 finale of The Vampire Diaries is going to be tragic, and now that she's read it, Candice Accola (Caroline) agrees. "I totally cried. But in really unexpected moments," she tells Entertainment Weekly.
The blonde beauty also discussed whether her character will be jealous that Matt (Zach Roerig) is clearly falling for Elena (Nina Dobrev) all over again. (Seriously, those two were making quite the goo-goo eyes at each other in Season 3, Episode 16, "1912." Guess getting trapped in a slightly crazy lady's closet brings people together.)
"I think Caroline has feelings for Matt in a very protective way," Candice says. "At this point, she's in a full-fledged relationship with Tyler [Michael Trevino], who used to be his best friend. There's really not much going back to that. Although it is high school, so it's a little bit more acceptable."
Aw, we always thought those two made a cute couple, but it sounds like this is all part of Caroline's newfound maturity.

Apple Aperture, like Phase One Capture One Pro and Adobe Lightroom are image editors with a DAM (Digital Asset Management) component integrated into the application. You use them for photographic work, but with a bit of imagination these apps — and Aperture especially — are excellent desktop DAM systems for managing screenshots and illustrative images you use on a website, iOS/Android app or any online publication that illustrate their content with images.
A quick rundown of Filecamp, the DAM system
Remember the review of Filecamp I did a short while ago? If you don't, here the link: Filecamp DAM SaaS system: an overview. Filecamp has been updated with metadata capabilities only recently. The company's customer base has also expanded with some impressive names. All reason enough for me to create a quick rundown of its features.
Filecamp DAM SaaS system: an overview
Filecamp is a SaaS (Software as a Service) based Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution developed by a small European company. It's simple and extremely easy to use, but still manages to deliver some advanced functionality like branding, versioning and user/folder based access protection. Filecamp fits the needs of small workgroups, advertising agencies, marketing departments, as well as large companies.

MINNEAPOLIS - A 7-year-old boy has been hospitalized after a near drowning in Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis on Friday afternoon.
Authorities said that the child's grandmother told lifeguards that the boy was missing at about 2 p.m. The lifeguards cleared the lake and began a search.
The boy was found in a swimming area, in about 4 to 6 feet of water.
Lifeguards began CPR on the child who was unconscious. He was transported to North Memorial Hospital where he is being treated, authorities said.
The city says that three lifeguards were on duty at the time of the incident and that two were actively watching the beach.
The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident. There's no word on the condition of the boy.

Comments about 8 in. 48 Tooth Steel Demon Ferrous Metals Saw Blade:
As a retired professional union carpenter of 42 years, I certainly know what to look for in a saw blade. It is safe to say I have used all of the so called "quality" blades available , including Forrest.
I work with HDPE, ( high density polyethelene)with a thickness of 1 1/2". My blade is NOT the 8" with 48 teeth, But the 7 1/4" with 24 teeth. The TCG and thin kerf for this material is the absolute best I have found. I only wish it were offered in a 10". I have other 10" blades with the TCG, but they are thicker of course, and thus....remove more material. I understand why they must be thicker, but for my needs, I use the 7 1/4" on a 10" table saw. I may have to buy the 8" of the identicle blade just to give me a bit more heigth if needed. This blade was designed for ferrous metal but will not be used for that purpose.I am saying it is the finest around for wood as well. If you buy one, buy two. Things change after several years with ALL manufacturers, and that applies for everything !

The cover image, World Map by Fra Mauro c. 1450, is one of the most important and famous maps of all time. This monumental map of the world was created by the monk Fra Mauro in his monastery on the island of San Michele in the Venetian lagoon. Now the centrepiece of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in St Marc's Square in Venice, the map in its nearly 600-year history has never left Venice – until now.
Renowned for its sheer size - over 2.3 metres square - and stunning colours, the map was made at a time of transition between the medieval world view and new knowledge uncovered by the great voyages of discovery. Brilliantly painted and illuminated on sheets of oxhide, the sphere of the Earth is surrounded by the sphere of the Ocean in the ancient way. Yet Fra Mauro included the latest information on exploration by Portuguese and Arab navigators. Commissioned by King Afonso V of Portugal, it is the last of the great medieval world maps to inspire navigators in the Age of Discovery to explore beyond the Indian Ocean.
Mapping Our World: Terra Incognita to Australia features over 100 maps, divided into sections on:
• Ancient conceptions of the world
• Medieval religious mapping
• Age of discovery
• Dutch golden age

An impressive and very unique ring from the late Art Deco (ca1930's) era! Made of platinum, this fabulous piece is a step cut design that features a large sapphire stone at the center and two dazzling diamonds on the sides. The center stone is a 3.69ct Brilliant Cut natural corundum sapphire, which has no indications of heat treating. What makes the sapphire stone so extraordinary is its color changing properties. The color of the sapphire changes from violet blue to deep purple, depending on whether it is being viewed under daylight or fluorescent vs. incandescent light. Set at each shoulder of the ring is a beautiful, sparkling diamond, weighing approximately .5ct each for a total weight of 1ctw. Both diamonds are Old European cuts, with H range color and VS1 range clarity. The color changing sapphire was evaluated in July 2013 by GIA (the Gemological Institute of America) and comes with a full written report. Absolutely stunning, this very special ring looks incredible when worn, and would make a fabulous addition to any collection or would make a gorgeous engagement ring!
Measurements: The ring has a finger size of 5 but could be easily resized.
Condition: The overall condition of the ring is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the platinum setting and the sapphire stone and both diamonds are intact.
