This weekend has mermaids, yummy crustaceans and Coastal Bend music
CORPUS CHRISTI - Mermaids, crustaceans and coastal music — cue Sebastian's "Under the Sea" because this sounds like a scene out of my all time favorite childhood movie, "The Little Mermaid." Ladies gearing up in football pads, big music names performing in Rockport and a festival dedicated to the decapod crustaceans of the ocean floor are just some of the highlights in this week's edition of Top 5 Weekend Picks from Caller Entertainment's Sarah Acosta.
Mermaids in football pads: These mermaids aren't your typical Disney mermaids.These mermaids gear up in football pads for the Sugar N Spice Football League. Cheer on Corpus Christi's Mermaids in their full contact first game of the 2012 season against the Texas Cowgirls at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds, 1213 Terry Shamsie Blvd., in Robstown. Tickets for the game are $10 for grass seating, $15 for general admission and $30 for VIP tickets. For more information on the team or the game call the league office at 210-392-1407. For more information on the women's football league and game read about it here.
Rockport Music Festival: Turn your weekend into a three-day stay in Rockport for the Rockport Music Festival featuring several Grammy winners. Texas blues and songwriters will be featured with a splash of West coast influence. Read more about the Rockport Music Festival here.
Crustaceans Celebration: I hope you like shrimp. Aransas Pass will be hosting its 64th annual Shrimporee which will feature three days of live music, dance, carnival rides, contests and of course shrimp cooked in every possible way. Festival goers can participate in a variety events like a men's sexy leg concert to parading down the streets of Aransas Pass with probably the largest man made shrimp. Read more about the crustacean festival here.
Summer Lawn Concerts: Bring a blanket or lawn chair and jam out to live music by the Corpus Christi Bay every Thursday night through Aug. 23 with the 2012 Bay Jammin' Concert Series at the Cole Park Amphitheater. The Bay Jammin' Cinema Series kicks off at dusk tonight and offers free films every Friday through Aug. 24.Read more about the Bay Jammin' series here.
Do Nothing: I mean really do something, not nothing. Put a little Shakespeare on your theater palette this weekend by checking out the Harbor Playhouse's Shakespearean production of "Much Ado About Nothing." Read more about the Shakespeare play opening here.

Windows Phone 7 shows up on At&t in store materials
There has been a lot of hype lately surrounding the new power that Microsoft is set to release in the mobile industry. However there has been little information about the where's and the when's. Meaning what carrier will the new WP7 phone be issued to first and when exactly will it reveal itself.
If the picture posted here and making its way around the internet is to be believed then the day of WP7 just might be upon us. The paper that is pictured is essentially a display guideline for management at your local At&t stores. This "card" or paper is indicating that the store will be set to get these new banners for displays and would need to redesign its stores with the material. Looking closely at the picture you will notice that the last set is a quantity of 6 of WP7 display banners. It is highly unlikely that this quantity represents 6 new WP7 models and is most likely representing at least two different models. The picture comes to the rumor mill via Engadget and seems to be very reliable. Information provided to Engadget states that these "cards" or similar marketing material can be issued very early, saying that these cards have been seen issued in July while the phones are slated for September releases. Even if this is the cases it seems that WP7 may be right on time.
So it looks like we have our first piece of material for the WP7 phones and if the information in regard to the time frame on this material is to be correct we could very well see a new WP7 phone sooner than expected.
Lets keep our fingers crossed as WP7 is sure to impress!
Tell us what you think of WP7 at this point; is WP7 the new OS for you? Or will Microsoft be wasting their time?AT&T, Windows Mobile, windows, WP7

Every group of photos has made me tear up!! Thanks for doing this project.
AMC On Friday, May 28 at 8:22 am
I couldn't IMAGINE having a family member in the army!!! My heart goes out to those who do!! Living without them waiting for them to come home every day… hoping… They are incredibly strong.
Candase On Friday, May 28 at 8:24 am
These are great! I especially love the older ones!
Amber Cullum On Friday, May 28 at 8:28 am
WOW!!! that is all I can say
Donna On Friday, May 28 at 8:28 am
The emotions that these photos present are amazing. So many tears of happiness and sadness.
rachel On Friday, May 28 at 8:28 am
I'm honored to have been included. My husband just got home last week after a serious scare and a trip from Iraq to the hospital in Landstuhl, Germany. I'm so grateful to have him so safe, this assignment reminds us all that some wives, husbands and families aren't so lucky. Happy Memorial Day everyone, God Bless our Troops.
LittleMrsDomestic On Friday, May 28 at 8:32 am
Amazing… that I still get tears in my eyes looking at these. Thank you AGAIN to all those service men and women and their families!
Pamela On Friday, May 28 at 8:40 am
I need a hankie.
Danielle On Friday, May 28 at 8:40 am
The photo from Karen gave me goosebumps and tears all at once. What an amazing photo, it left me breathless. Thanks you for posting all these wonderful photos!
Kellie On Friday, May 28 at 8:43 am
I really should stop looking at these while at work– I get choked every time!
It's warming that these are "homecoming" photos and not "leaving" photos. I don't think I could take it.
Kari On Friday, May 28 at 8:43 am
some of the most emotional pictures ever posted on the internet..
thank you Ree.
Robin Johnston On Friday, May 28 at 8:44 am
Crying everytime!
Jacob Klinger On Friday, May 28 at 8:46 am
These are awesome. I'll be having some of these moments as I move off to OTS on July 27. Both sad and exciting at the same time.
CC in NJ On Friday, May 28 at 8:47 am
Mandy On Friday, May 28 at 8:49 am
This is the best assignment you have ever done. I don't even own a camera but I love to check our your photography section. All of these photos are emotional but man the one with the two little girls in matching red dresses hugging their daddy just did me in. I don't know why but it literally took my breath away. I have goosebumps just typing this. Keep em coming!
Kristin On Friday, May 28 at 8:51 am
Here I am, crying at work looking through these beautiful and touching pictures. What brave people.
Mandy On Friday, May 28 at 8:51 am
Viki Lozier…whereever you are….whoever you are…I am praying for peace to come back to your heart. Your son is a hero mam, but I know you know that.
TaraBarn On Friday, May 28 at 8:52 am
I look forward to these every day.
Karen F amdg. Wow.
AmyDinOKLA On Friday, May 28 at 8:53 am
More wonderful, moving photos! Love seeing them all. I especially like the older pictures, both of my Grandpas served in WWII and I love the pictures I have of them at that time.
Linda On Friday, May 28 at 8:54 am
My husband is a Vietnam Vet and my daughter is a Marine….I am so very proud of both and all of the men and women that have served, are serving or choose to serve in the future. I love the pictures of the children welcoming home their parents, the wives/girlfriends seeing their loved one, and the parents opening their arms to the ones they raised but the pictures that absolutely grab my heart and make it turn are the pictures of those coming home for the final time, and the tribute to the "Wall". Thank you for making us take a moment and maybe say a prayer, ponder our position as Americans and just to remember. I love all of the pictures!!!
P.S. They all make me cry!
sb On Friday, May 28 at 8:55 am
Ohmygoodness these pictures just make me want to cry.
Ashley On Friday, May 28 at 8:55 am
I love the one of the little girl looking over her dad's shoulder. Makes me cry!! The photo itself just radiates that comfort and safety of a Daddy's arms.
Love this one!!
Courtney On Friday, May 28 at 8:55 am
These are great! I'd send you our homecoming pics but one kid is picking his nose and the other has her undies showing… God Bless the USA!
Kerry On Friday, May 28 at 8:58 am
I have no idea how you are possibly going to choose. All so moving – the one that started the tears this morning was Karen F's with the soldier handing mom the flag at the funeral. I really love the twin girls in red. All the older b&ws are so wonderful.
Kelly On Friday, May 28 at 8:59 am
How on earth are you ever going to choose winners???
Karin On Friday, May 28 at 9:03 am
Thank you so much for this tribute. I lost my cousin two years ago. He was killed in Iraq. My oldest son is currently in the Army.
Shannon Carlock On Friday, May 28 at 9:05 am
The Brittany Hunter photo was taken in Benton Harbor, MI – I drive by that machine tools building every morning when taking my daughter to school. Small world and a great photo!!
Brefootcookinggirl On Friday, May 28 at 9:06 am
Simply moving in so many ways. God bless our troops and thank you to each and every one who serves or has served. God Bless America.
Sonia On Friday, May 28 at 9:07 am
I love these pictures!! They invoke such emotions! We should be honoring our nations hero's and their families for their sacrifice to keep our great nation free.
Becky in VA On Friday, May 28 at 9:10 am
A picture IS worth a thousand words. Awesome photos.
Jo On Friday, May 28 at 9:13 am
you're making me cry @ work, Ree –
tears of joy and sadness, but most of all thankfullness that these soldiers do what they do -
Jen from Louisville (Cards!!) On Friday, May 28 at 9:15 am
It's hard to look at these photos and not be overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude for the men and women serving our country.
Mary Lou Kemp On Friday, May 28 at 9:15 am
these brought me to tears
Mindee@ourfrontdoor On Friday, May 28 at 9:20 am
You're killing me Smalls.
fresh365 On Friday, May 28 at 9:22 am
I am sitting at work, crying (for the third day in a row)!
flyfishnkelly On Friday, May 28 at 9:22 am
Beautiful. They brought tears to my eyes.
Mary Pickett On Friday, May 28 at 9:22 am
Oh my gosh, you are just killing me! You have to stop!
Allison On Friday, May 28 at 9:31 am
Thank you for your service!! I love the pictures. All I can say is WOW!
talea On Friday, May 28 at 9:32 am
The one with the soldier handing his daughter a teddy bear at arm's length struck me the most. She looked to be one or so and I think it was so emotionally evocative that she didn't seem to know who he was exactly — yet. Many soldiers who left pregnant wives or newborn babies to go do their duty probably come home to this kind of bittersweet welcome.
Lora Rinehart On Friday, May 28 at 9:32 am
This group made me cry…no, not just cry…bawl like a baby. This is the best assignment ever. So many emotions in each and every photo.
Rachelle Mullins On Friday, May 28 at 9:33 am
Tears ridiculous tears!
Tifferrific On Friday, May 28 at 9:38 am
Love, Love, Love these! The first one… too precious!
Tracey On Friday, May 28 at 9:41 am
They are ALL winners! EVERY . SINGLE . ONE! Every person who has ever served this great country, in any capacity, is a WINNER and a HERO!
Ann On Friday, May 28 at 9:45 am
For some reason the one with the two blonde girls with red dresses hugging their Dad made me tear up. Love them all and on Saturday I will have a new homecoming pic when we welcome our son home.
Anna in AZ On Friday, May 28 at 9:45 am
full on tears today…thank you for sharing.
Blonde On Friday, May 28 at 9:50 am
How will you ever decide…..they are all so awesome! So thankful for our troops!!!
Abbie D On Friday, May 28 at 9:58 am
I love this assignment…I just cry and cry. "Unknown"??? Really??? INCREDIBLE picture. It made me gasp.
Also really liked the presentation of the flag by Karen F amdg. So touching. And heartbreaking.
Karlee On Friday, May 28 at 9:58 am
this is an awesome assignment. All these pictures are so amazing! Every single One! You can sense the emotion in each picture.. and each picture brings a lump to my throat.
Julie On Friday, May 28 at 10:09 am
Oh wow – these have caused a HUGE lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. They are beautiful, heartbreaking, and a great reminder to us all!
Aislinn On Friday, May 28 at 10:20 am
These are great, but where are the ones of the women coming home? I know that we have some out there!! As a mom and a Soldier I know we leave too, I just got back and I have pictures of me coming home!! Its the best feeling in the world but yet we feel sad for the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice and is never really coming home again. Thank you to all the people who support us!!
Amber On Friday, May 28 at 10:30 am
Wow…I can't remember another time where a picture brought me to tears.
Gina Nerger On Friday, May 28 at 10:33 am
Tears, Ree!!!!!!!
Kitty McGrath On Friday, May 28 at 10:33 am
Thank you Ree. Beautiful. Many tears
Krista On Friday, May 28 at 10:36 am
You are killing me Ree, I'm sititng here crying as I look at these pictures. I am one lucky lady because I don't have to deal with seperations and homecomings, but I admire and respect those who do. We remember and thank our soilders, but we need to remember that they have families at home who are missing and loving them. These families are fighting their own battles everyday. Thanks to the soilders, but also thanks to the families who stand by and support them.
Megan On Friday, May 28 at 10:36 am
The 2 girls with the red skirts and white tops – WINNERWINENR CHICKEN DINNER!
I'm bawlin' here. geez.
Cassie On Friday, May 28 at 10:37 am
There are so many favorites in this one that I can't pick. Once I got to the one with the two girls in the red dresses, the tears started
Sophia On Friday, May 28 at 10:40 am
I don't know how you are ever going to pick a winner. These are all such great pictures!
Lucky Cookie On Friday, May 28 at 10:41 am
The Unknown grave marker is haunting. Makes me so sad to think of their family who doesn't know their loved one is there….. I LOVE the second and third pictures.
Shonna On Friday, May 28 at 10:43 am
everton terrace On Friday, May 28 at 10:43 am

Laura Payne On Friday, May 28 at 11:06 am
I have to stop looking at these while at work. These are truly amazing.
Veronica On Friday, May 28 at 11:11 am
Ree, thank you so much for this. Some of these are so heart wrenching. Thank you for reminding us just how much some people have sacrificed.
Kate's Crazy Life On Friday, May 28 at 11:13 am
I can't look at these without tearing springing to my eyes. They are so touching and beautiful. A long time ago, I was a young military wife and experienced two "welcome homes". I'll never forget the feeling of his return and these pictures capture it so perfectly.
What a great topic for a photo assignment. And a big thank you to all the troops and families for your sacrifice.
rhonda On Friday, May 28 at 11:15 am
These are making me cry.
Did you plan this because of Memorial Day or is that just a fabulous coincidence. So many GREAT images!
Shala from KS On Friday, May 28 at 11:19 am
Couldn't stop the tears, this is the best assignment yet. It makes me thankful to be an American.

Larelle On Friday, May 28 at 11:22 am
Wow…. *sniff*
So many great photos. Thank you to all of our troops, and to all of you who submitted these reminders of how much they sacrifice.
The one by Lindsay0526 made me so sad. Can you imagine coming home to a little girl that doesn't really remember you… and trying to get to know her again when you just want to give her a hug and a kiss?
Mrs. Utah On Friday, May 28 at 11:23 am
I can't cry, I just put on my mascara! These are wonderful. Thank you Veterans. Happy Memorial Weekend!
hennifer On Friday, May 28 at 11:30 am
You almost got me with the first assignment and I did alright yesterday but I was done in by reading those captions.
This is a brilliant and timely assignment. Truly moving!
Elaine On Friday, May 28 at 11:34 am
Thanks for posting these. They are amazing. I feel like crying everytime I look at the post.
hollyglen On Friday, May 28 at 11:36 am
Wow, Ree. My eyes are filled with tears – just wonderful and perfect for Memorial Day.
Elly Oliver On Friday, May 28 at 11:44 am
Gut wrenching, tear jerkers! Even the words to the song America caused a gusher! I love the pic with the mother taking the flag and the one by Kelly Grace.
Folks who have traveled outside our country and come back home truly know how much they love America. I could have kissed the ground!!!!!
Jen On Friday, May 28 at 11:54 am
Oh here comes the ugly cry. Beautiful and poignant images. All of them.
Lorrie On Friday, May 28 at 11:57 am
Good gracious, that is so moving. Thanks for sharing. God Bless our troops and America!

Toni Connelly On Friday, May 28 at 12:10 pm
Did you get any pictures of Mom's who were also soldiers returning?
AmyDinOKLA On Friday, May 28 at 12:18 pm
To Viki, comment #115: I am so very sorry for your loss. I appreciate your son's service and his sacrifice for our whole country. May God Bless you.
Kaylee On Friday, May 28 at 12:20 pm
My dad's coming home in five days. Thank you for all these pictures. It's the saddest happy feeling in the world.
Erin Hess On Friday, May 28 at 12:20 pm
Beautiful, every single one of them.
And, crying, again. Why don't I remember to grab the tissues before clicking?
Amy Krull On Friday, May 28 at 12:23 pm
This photo assignment is literally bringing me to tears, it is so beautiful and wonderful.
Dave On Friday, May 28 at 12:23 pm
The picture of the mother receiving the flag instead of her child just tore my heart out. God bless her and ease her pain.
Bethany On Friday, May 28 at 12:29 pm
We need to remember the spouses of the military too. They serve right along with them. I am not a military spouse. Frankly, I don't think I am strong enough to be. My husband is away on a fishing trip this long weekend. That is hard enough. I can't fathom being away for a long period of time, and knowing they are in peril. God bless the military family.
Chris On Friday, May 28 at 12:29 pm
This is hands-down the best assignment you have ever given. These photos speak volumes.
court3ney On Friday, May 28 at 12:31 pm
you are killing me. These are so amazing, and so moving. I am sobbing by the time I reach the end! Best. Assignment. Ever.
Bethany On Friday, May 28 at 12:34 pm
I really need to stop looking at this page everyday! It makes me cry every time!
lindalou On Friday, May 28 at 12:37 pm
These are killing me. So beautiful and so poignant. The one giving the mom the flag. So powerful. I think it says it all.
Debbie On Friday, May 28 at 12:47 pm
I cry every time. EVERY time. Aren't we blessed? God Bless America!
Gevay On Friday, May 28 at 12:47 pm
You are doing me in with these photos. I am crying like a baby. I agree with lindalou. The one with the flag being given to the Momma was especially touching. May we never forget the freedoms these men fight to protect. God Bless them and their families.
Jenn O'B On Friday, May 28 at 1:09 pm
Oh my… they're all wonderful, but the one by Karen F amdg, it breaks the heart. Beautiful. Thanks so much for doing this!
angel On Friday, May 28 at 1:27 pm
Across all those families, across all those decades, across all those geographical locations and social classes, you can still feel the pride, joy and love in all the men and women who came and did not come home. Bless them all this memorial day and all days!
Tony On Friday, May 28 at 1:29 pm
When words cannot express it, tears do. I am crying so – I cannot comment.
ens On Friday, May 28 at 1:32 pm
this is an amazing idea – thank you for sharing all of these!
Pam S On Friday, May 28 at 1:35 pm
Big fat tears, thank you to the families who wait.
jan On Friday, May 28 at 1:44 pm
every last one of those tells a truly magnificent story … thanks for everyone that choose to share (as the mom of an army princess) …
Tracey On Friday, May 28 at 1:48 pm
Ree-I am completely moved by these pictures. I am wife to a vet, momma to one returning from Iraq, one recently sent to Afghanistan, and one who signed up before he even graduated from high school. Hooah!

I am wondering if any of your children have chronic allergies??
DH has serious allergies. Will has had this 'cold' that has seemed to last for a month! I know its allergies. We take him outside, we have to bring the kleenex with, he is like a faucet! He comes in with red eyes and all! In the evening, its worse! Again, the clear drainage starts! No cough, pain, etc... Anyway, its like clockwork, open a window, the allergies start...dust, the runny nose begins....vacumn, faucet on.....etc, etc.. I stay clear from benadryl during the day. I dont want him sleepy all day long! Anyone know anything else over the counter for an 18 month old that will work temporarily??
Abbie & Alex never had these. I have not called the Ped yet, but I am Monday. I think he may need meds or need allergy testing done. Anyone know how early they diagnose allergies? I was told once that they dont do the testing while they are little?!

July 31 2015 Latest news:
Matt Stott
Friday, August 8, 2014
Rural residents in Suffolk will not be left behind on the internet highway, it was claimed last night, after it emerged almost 50,000 properties in the county now have access to better broadband.
Mark Bee, leader of Suffolk County Council and chair of the Better Broadband for Suffolk Programme (BBSP), said work to provide reliable and fast internet speeds across the county is ahead of schedule, insisting "significant inroads" into rural areas have been made.
The authority has pledged that every property in Suffolk will have access to broadband speeds of at least 2 megabits per second (Mbps) by the end of 2015, while 85% of homes and businesses will have superfast speeds of 24Mbps or more.
Since launching in May last year, the BBSP has now provided superfast broadband to 44,554 properties. It means the scheme is closing in on its target of connecting around 100,000 homes and businesses to fibre-based broadband by the end of 2015.
Around 200,000 properties in Suffolk have already benefitted from commercial upgrades, contributing towards the 85% target.
Mr Bee said: "In particular, we are making significant inroads into more rural parts of the county. This is precisely what we set out to do.
"But we are not stopping at the 85% target. We have already secured additional government funding and are now working on extending the programme to as much as 95% of the county.
"I am tremendously proud of what we have achieved and look forward to seeing this first round of rollout completed by the end of next year."
The scheme has already secured around £24million of public money, which has been used to leverage further private sector investment from BT through a public procurement process.
It means the BBSP can intervene in areas not subject to commercial upgrades.
Chris Soule, chairman of the Suffolk branch of the Federation of Small Businesses, said the latest statistics added a "few more coals of reality to the fires of optimism".
He said: "From some of the rural businesses we have spoken to there has been a general change in mood over the last two years – from an initial outright disbelief about the likelihood of superfast broadband ever being available to them, through a general cynicism to a cautious optimism; having actually seen some of the new fibre enabled cabinets appearing somewhere in their area."
Chris Knock, chairman of Battisford Parish Council, which has been plagued by poor broadband, said he has been assured the village is now in the county council's "revised" regional plan to receive an internet revamp.
He said: "It is a real issue. People just cannot get online and download emails. We feel incredibly disadvantaged.
"One business had to move out. Everyone, in both urban and rural areas, should have access to fast broadband. This is a moral responsibility.
"But the county council are being very helpful."
Around 450 miles of fibre cable has been laid out in Suffolk since work began.
John Dugmore, chief executive of the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, hailed the latest milestone as a "great achievement".
But he stressed: "It's important that while we all work together so progress continues at a pace to ensure all properties that need superfast broadband have access to it."

Better Broadband to SELECTED suffolk, I live in Rural suffolk, a village of some 100 properties and we have been deemed not vialble for superfast broadband. So Suffolk County Council have condemned me to a life in the dark ages, because enabling a rural village will not significantly increase their number of connections. The current 2Mb I have at the moment is insufficient fir todays needs, It takes nearly a minute to load the EADT home page due to the high media content the now load. I missed most of the commonwealth games as the BBC decided they would use the internet rather than airwaves and it is not possible to stream live TV over a 2Mb connection.

James Henry opened the scoring at Bramall Lane when his 13th-minute cross from the right evaded Blades goalkeeper Mark Howard and crept inside the far post before fellow midfielder Dave Edwards sealed the win with a close-range finish eight minutes after the restart.
Henry also hit a post with a first-half strike, while the home side went close through Stefan Scougall's early drive, which was saved by Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme, and John Brayford's attempt, which was cleared off the line by Richard Stearman on the stroke of half-time.
"It was a fantastic win, I felt we needed to make some changes and we needed some fresh energy in the team," Jackett said.
"On Tuesday night (the loss to Crawley) we didn't quite have as good energy and legs as we usually have and we really needed it today on a big pitch against a very good footballing side with the best part of 22,000 people here.
"I do have confidence in the players coming in that they know their roles. It's a big game to come in for but there's no point them being there if I don't think, at the right time, they can come in and give us some fresh energy.
"I thought as the game wore on we handled Sheffield United better and better. Some of their football in the first half was very, very good - as was ours - and I thought two quality teams and two quality clubs."

Potsdam, Germany. "It's a nice feeling to be upright, to walk and to have people at eye level," said a beaming Peter Kossmehl at the Potsdam Rehabilitation Center in Germany. The 40-year-old from the German state of Brandenburg had just taken a spin in a bionic exoskeleton — a wearable, battery-powered robot — that enables paraplegics to take a few steps again.
The rehab center is one of the first facilities in Europe to test the robot, called Ekso and made by Ekso Bionics. The California-based company introduced Ekso in the fall of 2011.
Now it is to be tested worldwide on paraplegics, stroke and multiple sclerosis patients and other people with lower-extremity paralysis or weakness. Further development for home use is planned as well.
"In Germany, only patients in Aachen have tested the robot Ekso so far a few weeks ago," said company spokesman Bastian Schink. After them, eight people in Potsdam strapped on and tried out the approximately 23-kilogram exoskeleton. With the help of sensors in its foot units, weight shifts are converted into steps.
"I'd like to give my patients the opportunity to stand erect again as soon as possible," said Bettina Quentin, director of physiotherapy at the rehab center south of Berlin. "I'm mainly interested in whether the technology can help affected people in their everyday lives." But Quentin, like many experts, warns against excessive expectations.
"People who function well with their wheelchair will always be faster in them than with the exoskeleton," said Jan Schwab, head of spinal cord injury research at the Charite University Hospital's Department of Experimental Neurology in Berlin. "The psychological benefits of a patient standing upright shouldn't be underestimated, though." The reactions of the Potsdam patients appeared to confirm this.
"It's a nice feeling to stand," said Andreas Klitzsch, 54, the joy of walking again written all over his face. At the same time, he expressed the desire for a substantial improvement in the technology.
"I'm not walking by myself," he remarked. "It's only passive walking." Kossmehl, too, thinks more development work is needed. "But it's just the right aid for the rehab center," he said.
In the view of Ruediger Rupp, director of the Department of Experimental Neurorehabilitation in the Paraplegiology Clinic at Heidelberg University Hospital, the robot is not suitable for all patients.
There are about 60,000 paraplegics in Germany, "of whom fewer than 10 percent are candidates [for the robot]," he said. "That's a very select group." Someone who can hardly move his or her torso, for example, would have great difficulties with the robot.
Various technologies are meant to make disabled people more mobile. Electrostimulation is one of them, but stimulated walking is unstable. This is why experts have a high opinion of bionic exoskeletons, which were first developed for military use. A soldier wearing one could theoretically carry a 100-kilogram load with no health risk.
Companies around the world are working on models for walking aids, such as Israel, Japan and New Zealand and the United States, where Ekso has been in use at 10 rehabilitation centers since late 2011; clinics in Denmark, Spain and Switzerland are also testing it.
One of the unknowns being examined is whether the device has positive health effects. It could potentially prevent pressure sores, boost blood flow, protect against osteoporosis and keep joints flexible. It could also make disabled people more independent.
"Patients could rehab at home and wouldn't be bound to the center," Schwab said. But the device would have to become affordable. It currently costs about 120,000 euros ($150,000).
"It's going to get less expensive," remarked Schink, who said Ekso Bionics was aiming for a price between 50,000 and 60,000 euros. "In the coming 12 to 18 months, it will be shipped only to clinics in order to conduct studies," he said, explaining the company wanted to be sure that the device has doctors' support.
This, Rupp said, is the proper procedure. "After all," he noted, "it's still unclear if there's possible long-term harm."

Aug. 12, 2013
Well now that everyone is used to the time difference, it's time to come back to Albuquerque. Players have to get ready for the first day of classes in a week, and the rest of us have to return to a desk somewhere. However, we had one day left on Australia's World Famous Gold Coast, and we spent the morning catch waves...we all got a surfing lesson.
We met our instructors, who had us sign the waiver (We didn't see anything about death or dismemberment, so we all signed the dotted line...) and then outfitted us in wetsuits. Amazingly, the suit for Alex kind of fit him.
The team then carried boards across a dune and to the beach. When they say the Gold Coast, they aren't kidding. The softest golden sand was there, and in a cool twist, it was a dog beach, so all these dogs were running around as well. It made for a fun environment.
It's probably no shock that Hugh was the best at surfing, although several folks were able to get up on the board. After a good two hour morning in the surf, dubbed by some of us at "Pointe Breaking Bad", we were pretty much exhausted. After our lunch it was free time to do a little souvenir shopping and use up the rest of our Australian currency.
With that, it was just dinner at a local iconic steakhouse and packing, as we have a 5:15 am wake-up call. The time change might ruin some of us, but no one here will forget this trip, most of all Hugh, who was so excited to have his teammates on his home turf.
A sincere thanks to all of you back home reading the blogs these past nine days, and the same for our new friends in Australia. This country and these people of beautiful, and I will do everything I can to return here again. We made many great new friends, and saw several UNM graduates and fans at our three games. Many of us became fans of new sports (Rugby League and Australian Rules Football), and many folks here that watched us play are now fans of the Lobos as well.
Also, a huge thanks to Jeff Eisenberg at Yahoo Sports. While we have been posting blogs here, Jeff has also posted a blog for all nine days over at the Dagger Blog. There are a few must read websites if you are a hoops fan or junkie, and the Yahoo Dagger Blog is at the top of the list.
Oh, and this officially will be the longest day for any of us...we leave the hotel at 6 a.m. on August 13, and leave Brisbane at 10 a.m. on August 13. We land in L.A. at 6 a.m. ... meaning we technically will have travelled backwards in time four hours. We will definitely be going at least 88 miles per hour.

Jimmie Gates' column in Sunday's paper outlined a common problem: you cannot force people to be patriotic. Oh, you can force flag flying, I suppose, but that does little good.
People just don't realize what freedoms we have. We can go on a public street and burn any flag we want to and not be shot or hanged like we would be in many places in the world. We can say anything short of advocating violent overthrow of the government or "Fire!" in a theater. We tolerate differences and dissension like no one else. It is our great strength - freedom of expression.
Our Bill of Rights is unique in the world today and in history. Sanctioning someone because they burn a flag or don't say the Pledge of Allegiance is totally against our national commitment to freedoms.
We may disagree with people who don't act the way we want them to, but to take freedoms away from them is one step towards taking freedoms away from us.
To attack such people in any way is a vote against our Bill of Rights and in my mind just as un-American as it is possible to get.

8 (1 ounce) slices

This was so yummy! I used potato and onion peirogies and an additional cup of sauerkraut, just because we like it so much. It is a great variation on my standard pierogie dinner.
I made some mistakes & adjustments, so not quite ready to review properly yet - giving a neutral so as to not skew the numbers. Wanted to log in now with a warning: single layer of perogies ONLY. Any that get "doubled up" become raw slimy pieces of dough.
Willing to try this again properly and re-review.

This was very good. Very flavorful! Made exactly to recipe. Will make again when we get the craving for sauerkraut and corned beef. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
We thought this was pretty good. The flavors mixed well, but I wish there would've been more pierogie for the amount of stuff that was on top. For the rye crumbs, I toasted and crumbled pieces of rye bread - I ended up using at least a cup to cover the top and add a little crunch. It definitely takes the whole 40 minutes!
for a 9x13 glass baking dish, I ended up adding more to the recipe (so it made 8 servings). I doubled the amount of butter and sauerkraut. I ended up using 3 quarter pound deli sliced corned beef. Used 8 slices of Sargento's swiss cheese. An entire bottle of Wishbone's light thousand island dressing and mixed it with 1/3 cup of French's spicy brown mustard. Couldn't find rye bread crums, so I baked 5 slices of rye bread separately at 350 degrees for 15 minutes to make it hardened. Broke up the bread and put it on after the mixture boiled for 10 minutes. DELICIOUS!!!
Really great for a quick and easy meal. I made mine in a 7X11 casserole dish which worked perfectly. I also used regular bread crumb instead of rye. Very good!
Just made this today and it's very good! I used potato and cheddar pierogies because that's all the store had. It did take a good 40 minutes to cook, but well worth the wait!
This was really good. Tasted just like a reuben sandwich. Even my daughter enjoyed it. I didn't have rye crumbs so I just used regular ones

In Major League Baseball, an asterisk is a bad thing. It means there's something questionable about a players' accomplishment – like hitting 73 home runs in a season.
In theater, an asterisk is a good thing. It means an actor is accomplished and has earned his or her way into The Actors' Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the
The labor union started in 1913. For anything to last 100 years is a fete.
When someone is called an Equity actor, it means he or she:
- Has earned stripes.
- Is legit.
- Has a seal of approval.
- Is held to standards.
- Is versatile.
- Is experienced.
- Can be expected to give his or her all, given the material.
There's a book about Vince Lombardi called "When Pride Still Matter." Time and again, pride still matters with Equity actors.
The region's theaters that employ Equity actors and stage managers make a point to place an asterisk after their names in printed programs.
At present, three professional productions are active in the area. Each includes union actors.
The cast of Peninsula Players Theatre's "Miracle on
The cast of American Folklore Theatre's "Victory Farm" includes Equity actors Steven Koehler, Doug Mancheski and Molly Rhode. Stage manager Neen Rock also is a member of Equity.
The cast of Stage Door Theatre Company's "The House of Blue Leaves" includes Equity members Debra Babich and Robert Boles.
Programs also note company members' other professional affiliations, such as those who earned his or her way into the Stage Directors and Choreographers' Society.
As someone who sees a lot of plays, I think highly of asterisks. The people who earn those *'s often hit home runs on stage fair and square.

University's Adams Center Namesake Earns National Honor
Published on May 26, 2011
SELINSGROVE—Retired judge Arlin M. Adams, for whom Susquehanna University's Arlin M. Adams Center for Law and Society is named, recently received the American Philosophical Society's Benjamin Franklin Medal for distinguished public service. The award honors his "contributions to public life reflecting the best skills a lawyer can possess: leader of the bar, distinguished judge, public policy advocate, settler of disputes, generous donor of time and talent."
Previous recipients of the award include, among others, Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher and Justices Thurgood Marshall and Sandra Day O'Connor. The award ceremony took place in April.
The Arlin M. Adams Center at Susquehanna was founded in 2001 by the family of the late Sigfried and Janet Weis, of Weis Markets Inc., and the Sunbury-centered Degenstein Foundation, with support from the Annenberg Foundation. Adams presented the center's inaugural lecture, about separation of church and state, in March 2002. His academic relationship with Susquehanna dates to 1985, when he received an honorary degree from the university.
"Judge Adams is among the nation's most respected and wise voices, as this honor reflects," said L. Jay Lemons, university president. "All Susquehannans take pride in his accomplishments and are grateful for his leadership, support and generosity to the university."
Adams has served for 25 years as general counsel to the Philadelphia law firm of Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis, LLP, where his career began in 1947. He has a diversified litigation and appellate practice with extensive experience in class action litigation and punitive damage matters. From 1969 to 1987, he served as a judge with the U.S. Court of Appeals, 3rd Circuit. Previously, he had spent three years as secretary of public welfare for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, helping to create the program that later became known as Head Start.
His distinguished career is marked by professional and civic leadership. Adams was president of the Annenberg Institute from 1988 to 1991 and chair of the Annenberg Research Institute. Elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1979, he served as president from 1993 to 1999. The University of Pennsylvania Law School and the Annenberg Foundation established the Arlin M. Adams Professorship on Constitutional Law in his honor in 2005. He is a trustee of the Goldsmith Weiss Foundation, Andrew Allen Charitable Foundation, William Penn Foundation, Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia and Bryn Mawr College; a trustee emeritus of the University of Pennsylvania; and an honorary trustee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The first in his family to go to college, Adams earned a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from Temple University and a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
The American Philosophical Society was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1743 and is considered to be the oldest learned society in the United States. In addition to Franklin, early membership consisted of several other founding fathers, including George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.

Interoperability in Home Monitoring and Controls Solutions
by Tom Kerber, Director of Research, Home Controls and Energy, Parks Associates

Individual Connected Products
Broadband creates a conduit for many new control and management applications. Broadband connectivity enables cloud services like real-time feedback or automated controls, which can send repair notifications or synchronize operation to off-peak hours.
The connection to the Internet also allows devices to offload the computing power from the devices to central servers where extensive analytics can be performed, providing sophisticated solutions at a small cost premium. Both broadband and the cloud allow solutions to use existing displays such as smartphones, connected TVs, or tablets to interface with connected devices in the home. Using existing screens in the home instead of a dedicated display also lowers hardware costs and allows for faster product development cycles.
Today, numerous connected products targeting the residential market are available. Lowe's premiered its Iris line of products in 2012.
In Europe, lighting dimmers from KlikaanKlikuit, smart plugs from Elro, alarm systems from Woonveilig, and IP cameras from Marmitek are widely available in retail outlets such as Saturn, where 3 percent of floor space is dedicated to home controls.
Global appliance manufacturers LG and Samsung have launched Wi-Fi-enabled appliances, while European appliance manufacturers are taking a more guarded approach to connected appliances. Instead of moving forward alone, product managers in Europe are closely watching the industry and are prepared to follow others into the market. European OEMs are busy finding partners and platforms that will provide them broader capabilities in the long term, such as the Miele and QIVICON partnership.
These offerings will provide differentiation to connected products, but in the long term, consumers will not find much use for products that do not interoperate with the other products in their home.
Connected appliances can provide services that respond to demand and price fluctuations and extend benefits to the owners, the manufacturers, and the utilities. For example, in refrigerators, the defrost cycle can be automatically delayed to a period with lower electricity demand, saving energy and money. OEMs can also add a variety of value-added features to their products, such as personalized services that recommend other features, software upgrades, and customer care services (e.g., remote diagnostics). They can also offer e-commerce services, offering extended warranties, accessory recommendations, and targeted promotions.
OEMs can also collect data on product usage to improve their understanding of their product in a real-world context and create new features based on that knowledge. Similarly, companies will collect operational history data to get specific information on time-to-failure to improve the quality of appliances.
These offerings will provide differentiation to connected products, but in the long term, consumers will not find much use for products that do not interoperate with the other products in their home. As consumers acquire more connected products, interoperability must be prioritized.
Achieving Interoperability
Today, if an OEM wants to develop an interoperable product, it can choose from several common protocols or develop a proprietary solution. Manufacturers can choose common protocols such as Z-Wave, ZigBee HA, or DECT ULE, which will help them create a larger connected home ecosystem by allowing its products to connect with products from other manufacturers.
In doing so, the manufacturer benefits from interoperability but may also have to give up some control of the user experience. In addition, using a common protocol provides interoperability at the gateway, allowing consumers to manage their connected devices even when the Internet connection is lost.
Some manufacturers may want more control over the data and the interface with the customer and may choose to connect their devices directly to servers under their control. In order to connect to other devices in the home, the OEM must connect via application programming interfaces (API) with a platform vendor that communicates to other devices in the home.
Looking forward, developing a viable ecosystem of products requires a new way of looking at the puzzle -- with a larger, more connected viewpoint, where competitors will have to collaborate.
A Tale of Two Approaches
Both gateway and cloud-based approaches to interoperability are in use today.
The gateway approach to achieve interoperability uses the gateway and common protocols as the primary mechanism to establish communication with end devices from different networks. Once the gateway has established communication with the end device, the software within the gateway provides a common method for applications to talk with the devices, abstracting the network details so that to the application software, a ZigBee HA thermostat looks the same as a Z-Wave thermostat.
The gateway approach to interoperability requires that devices within the home communicate using common protocols such as Z-Wave, DECT ULE, or ZigBee HA. Gateways can either integrate some of the more common protocols into the hardware or use USB dongles and firmware updates to add communication for a specific protocol.
In order to achieve interoperability with other products, common protocols specify the details of all layers in the OSI model. Detailed specifications at the application layer allow devices to advertise their capabilities and connect to the network. Because the gateway also acts as a controller, when a new application is developed, the gateway must be updated with the new application before the new product can be fully operational on the network.
The cloud-based approach uses web services and open APIs to achieve interoperability. Individual devices may use Wi-Fi or other protocols that pass through the gateway and connect directly with servers under the OEM's control. From the servers, the devices are then connected using web services in the cloud rather than in the gateway. The gateway is more of a pass-through device in this approach, and control is moved from the gateway to the cloud.
A Third Option
There is also a third option, a peer-to-peer communication scheme that can be used in the home or the cloud to allow devices to coordinate activity in more of a distributed control system.
Many of today's systems use either a gateway-centric common protocol approach to provide interoperability or a hybrid approach. In the hybrid approach, the gateway is the primary connection to the home for most devices, but some IP-enabled devices and web-based data services are integrated in the cloud.
For example, Lowe's uses a hybrid approach with its Iris product, employing an Iris Hub and the cloud to balance use of multiple protocols in the home, including Z-Wave, ZigBee HA, and Wi-Fi.
Looking forward, developing a viable ecosystem of products requires a new way of looking at the puzzle—with a larger, more connected viewpoint, where competitors will have to collaborate. As more connected devices and their associated apps enter the market, the opportunity to create new interactions and applications increases exponentially.
But the complexity of adding new devices into an ecosystem means the business models for integration are not straight forward. Creative business models can unlock the value for stakeholders willing to finance all or part of the service. As stakeholders increasingly realize they cannot develop and maintain their own backend infrastructure cost effectively, there will be more willingness to leverage service providers' platforms, especially as connectivity forges a more direct and ongoing relationship with the customer. As the market moves to second-generation products and beyond, consumers will expect that product capability will be upgraded periodically. Efforts to improve customer loyalty, which is driven by the user experience with the current product, will require companies to support and upgrade existing products over their lifetime.

#Life#Fitness#Weght Loss and Body Image#Getting to know me#Social Clutz Loveable Spaz
I am wearing a girdle for the first time since child #2. It is not pretty. The mass that used to constitute my ab muscles is now squished to the top of a size-that-fit-prior-to-growing-the-largest-belly-known-to-pregnancy "slimming" girdle.
This means one of two things is bound to occur at the office party we are attending tonight for Mr. Flinger's work: a) someone will ask when I'm due and b) I will get very crampy gas about the time his boss makes his way over to our table and let a teeny tiny SBD slip out. And blame his boss for it.
Remember what happened on our last date? I'm sure this will top it. Let's take bets, shall we? Who's in?
Oh of course. Please, I've been known to wear the Spanx with mah jeans, cuz nothing is where I left it! Hopefully this date was less gas and headlighty!
By Dawn S. on 2007 12 09
LMAO! I soooo relate. Just bought a new outfit to wear to my husband's holiday work party. I'm looking into spanx to go with it!
By Marie on 2007 12 09
Those girdles would be so awesome if they also returned the girls back to where they belong. Instead, they just hang over the top. Looks odd without a belly there for them to rest on. LOL
Hope you had a good time.
By Mom on Coffee on 2007 12 09
I need spanx. People, I NEED THEM. Is it wrong to put that on my christmas list? "Firm up in two minutes: SPANX"
Seriously. I'm off to find them on Amazon.
By Mrs. Flinger on 2007 12 09
I have considered the same. Hey, just so you know I can fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans now. WOOOhhoo… of course, they are "somewhat" tight. oh, and my tummy, well!! that is what I was considering the girdle for… thankfully it has been cooler out so my old sweatshirt covered that… not very slimming, but hey—it covered.
and yeah, mom on coffee made me laugh in commaraderieship (ok, so i forgot how to spell).
By hilary on 2007 12 10
Okay: I admit to being on the skinnier side, so I can report that the post-pregan(cies) tummy is universal. I have no breasts, no thighs or hips but I have toddler-like tummy. So unfair. Not even sit-ups make the darn thing go away. When my four year old asked why "you fat dere" I said "It's because you and your brother and sister used to live there!"

Project Description
ADA-ES (ADA) and partners will design, construct and operate a 1 MW equivalent gas flow pilot-scale test unit to evaluate the performance and cost of an advanced solid sorbent CO2 capture technology. Results will be used to prepare detailed designs and cost estimates for industrial- and utility-scale CO2 capture applications. The project will utilize progress on sorbent technology as demonstrated in bench-scale viability tests from a separate DOE project (DE-NT0005649) and will refine and optimize sorbent capture and regeneration processes through pilot testing and process modeling. Previous laboratory and preliminary field testing, engineering analyses, and physical modeling have shown that solid sorbent-based CO2 capture is a promising alternative to solvent-based capture technologies and it has distinct benefits due to anticipated lower regeneration energy requirements and higher CO2 capacity. ADA has evaluated over 100 potential CO2 sorbents from 20 developers in 6 countries to select sorbents for scale-up and has identified supported amines and activated carbon as the best performing candidates. Based on model and optimization studies of the solid sorbent technology process, the project will design, construct, and operate a 1 MW pilot plant on a slipstream of coal-fired flue gas for parametric studies and for a minimum two-month period of steady state operation. The information gained from the project operation will be used to complete a technical and economic analysis of the process.
Project Benefits
The mission of the U.S. Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL) Existing Plants, Emissions & Capture (EPEC) Research & Development (R&D) Program is to develop innovative environmental control technologies to enable full use of the nation's vast coal reserves, while at the same time allowing the current fleet of coal-fired power plants to comply with existing and emerging environmental regulations. The EPEC R&D Program portfolio of post- and oxy-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions control technologies and CO2 compression is focused on advancing technological options for the existing fleet of coal-fired power plants in the event of carbon constraints. This project is one of six R&D carbon capture projects from the EPEC program that were selected by DOE to receive funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). These projects will accelerate carbon capture R&D for industrial sources toward the goal of cost-effective carbon capture within 10 years. Pulverized coal (PC) plants burn coal in air to produce steam and comprise 99 percent of all coal-fired power plants in the United States. CO2 is exhausted in the flue gas at atmospheric pressure and a concentration of 10–15 percent by volume. Post-combustion separation and capture of CO2 is a challenging application due to the low pressure and dilute concentration of CO2 in the waste stream, trace impurities in the flue gas (nitrogen oxides [NOX], sulfur oxides [SOX], and particulate matter [PM]) that affect removal processes, and the parasitic energy cost associated with the capture and compression of CO2. Sorbent-based technologies, which adsorb CO2 onto a solid sorbent, have the potential to effectively reduce the energy penalties and costs associated with post-combustion CO2 capture for industrial facilities, as well as for both new and existing PC-fired power plants. This project will advance a solid sorbent-based CO2 capture process that has been validated through laboratory and field tests to a 1 MW slipstream pilot test to demonstrate the technology's potential to significantly reduce the energy penalty and costs compared to current state-of-the-art technologies. This work continues the evaluation and optimization of promising candidate sorbents on a slipstream testing level and increases the likelihood of developing an economical, commercial-ready CO2 capture technology for industrial- and utility-scale applications. Goals
The project goal is to validate and optimize a solid sorbent-based CO2 capture technology through pilot testing and process modeling. The project outcome is to define a path forward for achieving 90 percent post-combustion CO2 capture at less than a 35 percent increase in cost of electricity (COE) for a sorbent-based technology which is applicable to industrial sources of CO2 and that will be ready for demonstration testing in 2020 with potential commercial deployment beginning in 2030. Objectives
Project objectives are to demonstrate the technical, economic, and energy benefits of a solid sorbent-based CO2 capture technology. Specific objectives include developing performance data through the operation of the system on a slipstream of flue gas; assessing sorbent performance sensitivity to flue gas constituents and effectiveness for capture of other regulated pollutants; operating the test continuously for at least two months to identify operating and maintenance issues and assess system reliability; removing at least 90 percent of the incoming CO2 from the flue gas; producing high purity CO2; and conducting a techno-economic analysis of the commercial design. Planned Activities
The process design developed during the previous viability assessment will be scaled to a 500 MW commercial plant utilizing computational fluid dynamics and process modeling. A 1 MW pilot plant of the refined commercial concept will be designed, constructed, and installed at a coal-fired power plant site to evaluate the process design and characterize sorbent performance.
Field testing with the 1 MW pilot plant will include parametric studies and up to two months of continuous pilot operation to validate pilot plant performance.
Based on the test results, process models will be refined, a full-scale conceptual engineering design will be prepared, and the COE for a commercialized process will be determined.

Blockbuster Finally Bites the Dust; All St. Louis Stores to Close
Blockbuster is closing the handful of stores still open in Missouri by next year in a third and final round of cuts eliminating the video store's retail operations nationwide.
Trebomb on Flickr Your unborn children will never know what it means to rent a movie from Blockbuster.
DISH Network, the owner of Blockbuster, announced Wednesday it is shuttering 300 retail stores and ending the video-by-mail service designed to compete in the age of Redbox and Netflix.
Daily RFT found seven Blockbuster stores still open in or near River City: on Chippewa Street in St. Louis; and in Webster Groves; Wentzville; Maryland Heights; Festus; Troy; and Alton, Illinois. Those and all Blockbusters will be gone by January 2014.
"This is not an easy decision, yet consumer demand is clearly moving to digital distribution of video entertainment," says Joseph P. Clayton, DISH president and chief executive officer. "Despite our closing of the physical distribution elements of the business, we continue to see value in the Blockbuster brand, and we expect to leverage that brand as we continue to expand our digital offerings."
Dave Dugdale on Flickr Now our Blockbusters will look like this.
Blockbuster closed 10 of Missouri's 26 locations in February 2012, including stores in St. Ann and O'Fallon, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A year later, the company closed 300 locations nationwide, cutting 3,000 jobs, according to the St. Louis Business Journal, leaving 14 stores in the St. Louis metro area.

After watching Jennifer Aniston sing "Yellow Submarine," Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were having a grand old time at the "24 Hour Plays" premiere in New York City on Monday night when an obnoxious guest ruffled Ashton's feathers. "Demi and Jennifer Aniston were happily sitting together in the VIP when this guy starting really obviously making fun of Demi and things like her relationship with a younger man," an insider said. "It went on for quite a while. Ashton heard it and approached him. At first he thought the guy wasn't serious and was like 'what the?' He then realized he was serious. Ashton lost it."
A massive verbal fight reportedly followed, and Demi looked very embarrassed. "It got pretty heated, nobody knew what to do," the source said. Drama! [Source: FoxNews.com; Photo: Getty Images]

With 41.09 it didn't blink at boot, but sometimes when i was peogramming/browsing the offline msdn it blinked, and when the screen came back the mouse cursor was distorted (i had to move it around to fix it)
What's thjis, is there a fix, is my gpu damaged??? (the system is not overclocked)
Drivers are usually main reason for display problems. And no matter how many people appear to like 6xxx drivers, they are full of holes !!!
When investigating display problems with your card, you should be more realistically using something like 44.03 or my favourite of Omega 43.45.
If problem also happens when only doing desktop activities then it is most important that you install drivers properly to suit your OS. For this, I assume that after properly installing your mobo device drivers and suitable stable Nvidia driver, that you are also installing your monitor against its Manufacturers driver and not the OS "default" or "plug and play" driver. And of course finally setting refresh rates, for WinXP, using something like RefreshForce,
If problem still persists, then only recourse is to try card and/or monitor on another computer !

Re: Head suggestions for 20" Kick
i struggled for at least 2 years on a combo for my custom 20" (Keller -- african mahog / birch / maple rings) Fortune Drums BD. i bought the kit for big band and jazz so worked for a long time trying to get that ultimate "jazz sound" (wide open). i tried a bunch of batters: single ply coated, PS3 coated, Fyberskin (ambass) w/ a ported front reso head...smooth white single ply Remo. the combo i lived w/ the most was coated PS3 batter / Fyberskyn reso (no hole). pretty nice tuned med-high. somehow in my head, i thought this jazz sound must be single ply...no muffling, etc.
my current combo blows all of them out of the water: my bud suggested a single ply evans EMAD and it changed the drum completely. batter is single ply coated evans EMAD w/ a smooth white PS3 Remo batter (no hole!). this PS3 has a thin inner ring. no hole is kinda a big deal here & makes tuning much better.
tuned high w/ just the EMAD tray (no muff ring), it sounds great for jazz. even w/ the thin ring...fine. nice "tom" tone out of the BD but deep. i run it medium tight w/ thin ring for 70s Funk & it is INSANE. Balkan fusion w/ polkas & 2-beats...INSANE. same w/ singer songwriter or country. i bet Maple will sound equally nuts. mine is a 20 x 15 Mahog / Birch, so when i tune it low-ish w/ the thick ring...just magic. put the tea towels on the toms & go Ringo.
